Do too many people know Clark's secret?

[wave43]

Ok, this is my first post.

But here is what I have to say to TPTB, in light of Tess becoming closer to finding out Clark's secret, if not already knowing it.

Does it annoy anyone that nearly everyone now on the cast of Smallville knows about Clark's abilities and origins. Thoughts?

Also is it annoying else with ace reporter Chloe going from absolute cynic of all things to true believer of Davis. Thoughts?

[Ray Man]

I agree w/you Wave43, this show has more ppl knowing about Clarks secret then every other show/film combined lol!!!!!!!!!!

[melbow]

Well, let's make a lis on every season of who knows clarks secret of the cast!

Season 1:
- Jonathan Kent
- Martha Kent

so inc. Clark 3 out of 8 of the regulars knows his secret.

Season 2:

- Jonathan Kent
- Martha Kent
- Pete

4 out of 8 regulars.

Season 3:Same as season 2.

Season 4:

- Jonathan Kent
- Martha Kent
- Chloe
- Lionel Luthor ( sort of )

5 out of 8.

Season 5: same as season 4.

Season 6:

- Martha Kent
- Lana Lang
- Chloe
- Lionel Luthor

So 5 out of 7..

Season 7:

- Kara
- Chloe
- Lana
- Lex ( at end of season )
- Lionel

so 6 out of 8.

Season 8:

- Chloe
- Oliver
- Davis
- Tess?! at end of season?

So season 8 is not the worst season for people knowing his secret.

yes way to me people know clark's secret, and it is getting old. like it was getting old when chloe, lana, and pete figured out clark was a alien, but lex couldn't. lex is supposed to be a genius and one of the smartest most dangerous villians in comic book lore, and yet he could not figure it out for seven long tiring years.

[SGuthrie27]

Whoa. When you post a list like that, Jason, it really does make it pretty obvious how silly it is for THAT many people to know the truth about Clark, even if so many of them are dead, institutionalized, or in prison. Clark's secret should've really been exposed to the world by now with the number of times somebody's found out about him or seen him in action. Crazy!

To me, "knowing the secret" means knowing all parts of the secret, not just knowing that he has powers.

To me, "knowing the secret" means knowing all parts of the secret, not just knowing that he has powers.

To me, it means knowing he has something to hide and the BIGGEST part of that IS his powers.

Great list, and I think it sums up my point of view best...isn't Clark's identity supposed to be a secret? I always thought the three main people that were supposed to know Clark's secret(in the Superman universe) were: Martha, Jonathan & Lois(and maybe Lana).

[jpfort1957]

Without wearing a mask with the new Superman suit............anyone who ever new CK will recognize him. Without a mask "Infamous" will become a reality once more!!!!!

Thank you! And even more proof of why the should have ended the show back at the end of season 5. I mean, all that's left and seems to be the focus of Smallville, is how Clark discovers and develops his "Superman" identity. But all this seems irrelevant now, because nobody in there right mind can say now that at least a 100 people now would not recognize Clark as Superman. You mean to tell me, Jimmy won't know who Superman is now??? Looks like a big "Oops" and over sight from producers and writers now. Clark should've remained a farmboy until he was close to embracing and exposing the Superman identity.

[Dominicus]

I think so, mainly a lot of the wrong people know his secret.
