Did your heart break for...Clark??

[LCforever]

Now that Clark is starting to realize his "feelings" for Lois. Did your heart break when Lois told him that she just wanted to start anew and just "put the game on the battlefield"?

[LOvInLoiSLaNe]

hecks no! he burned her once too many times. it'll all start to come together eventually. clark just needs to work extra hard for it.

[smallvillerocks45]

I saw that he was disappointed, but Lois was being fair, and so was Clark. He needs to be sure that a relationship with her is what he wants before he tries to pursue anything. His life is too complicated for him to play high school games, and they both deserve better than that anyway. I don't think Lois is even sure she really wants to go for it with Clark either. I mean, I'm sure she likes him, she may even love him, but there is a lot at stake here.

I agree with LOvInLoiSLaNe, though, it will eventually all start to come together. Of that I have complete faith.

[borednow]

He had it coming after breaking MY heart so many damn times...

[Sports72Xtrm]

I did feel bad for him even though it was fair. I wonder if Lois will even give him a second chance even if he gets his act together:(.

[Ellsbury]

I first felt bad for him but when I think about his behaviour during the Lana's arc I can only come to the undeniable conclusion that this BDA deserves what’s happening to him!

[VisionGirl]

His heart isn't breaking yet. I think he acknowledges his attraction for Lois (but isn't psyched about it) and is a little wistful about "could have beens" between them - but I don't think it's hit Clark quite yet what he's attempting to give up.

[BackToTheLies]

He deserved it but I thought Lois pushing the dagger in further for good measure ("add that one to the list") was pretty harsh.

The "I've got a date" line was enough.

[ChlarkerFan]

I actually think Clark deserves it. Way too many girls are often suffering due to their romantic feelings for him and now he's getting a small taste of that.

[kiariclois]

He deserves it. He didn't expect Lois to wait around, did he? lol. Considering that Lois got rejected twice, well, I don't care really... lol

[rajman]

Lois is trying to make him realise, and its working

[Mickey_Bickey]

Please, that's a no brainer! He had it coming!!

[SGuthrie27]

Lois was totally fair in her assessment and the decision that she made. I do feel bad for Clark as a fellow guy who's been "rejected" by a lovely lady before, but we all know that they'll eventually, inevitably be together when the time is right. This is just another step in their journey.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Cage]

He deserved it but I thought Lois pushing the dagger in further for good measure ("add that one to the list") was pretty harsh.

The "I've got a date" line was enough.

This seems to be the general consensus here - without the "...wasenough" put in. I mean he is Clark and he looks coincedently like Tome Welling:lol: - but Lois who coincidently Looks like Erica:lol: has been put upon - by the writers of course. She has to protect herself and maybe get some payback.

Who do I feel badly for - ME and anyone else who wants to see Clois blossom. Although there is one thing that I've been pondering - If the Doomsday scenario ends up like the comics, and Lois and Clark do profess their love for one another -

what happens next season -

a) Do they make Smallville 9 and extension of L&C TNAOS?
b) Does Erica only get her 12 - 13 eppies that we've been seeing?

I don't like those options -

I guess we can't have our cake and eat it too

By the way - this is from a guy's perspective.

:);)

[ClubXerxes]

No...in spite of her pathetic attempt at moving on, Lois is still infatuated...you could see it on her face as she walked away.

She can date anyone she desires, but seriously...who can match the credentials of the world's most powerful being?

Clark has NOTHING to worry about...hence no heart should break for him. Eventually, Lois Lane will be completely and totally infatuated with the real Clark Kent.

Now...as for Jimmy...that poor sap needs a break

[SupermanRox]

Clark definitely had it coming to him. :lol: Now he is realizing how he feels about Lois. I can't wait to watch him work for that girl! I'm so excited.

[Smallville Vamp]

Lois is trying to make him realise, and its working

ITA and was wondering if she really had a date or just trying to push his buttons a little. ;)

[Krypton935]

I think he had it coming he shut her down too many times!! grr!

[costas22]

I voted the second one but something confuses me.Why did she tell him that he stood her up?Didn't she make an excuse that she never made it to the cafe either?

[Isabel14]

No..no way..he screwed up with Lois, and now he pays the consequences...

[skylar]

I think he had it coming he shut her down too many times!! grr!

I agree

Lois has a tremendous "poker face"!;)

[stenochick]

Not one ounce of angst or heartbreak in Hex. What a welcome respite because we are in for a lot of Clark guilt and angst from here on out until the finale because of Davis and Chloe.

[workshyslacker]

"No hearts were broken in the making of this episode."

[theotherJane]

Not at all. That was my favorite part of the episode. Now he'll have to chase her! It's classic LnC.

[Blugolds22]

I voted the second one but something confuses me.Why did she tell him that he stood her up?Didn't she make an excuse that she never made it to the cafe either?

That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard her say that. If she makes up an excuse why she couldn't be there, why should she get to throw that in Clark's face?

[ripripcasm]

So Lois was basically referring back to infamous where he stands her up at the cafe right?
But why did she want to meet him there again? i rewatched infamous and lois says something along the lines of 'we could just forget it almost happened'...i take it she was talking about their almost kiss back in bride. can someone please reaffirm this. so if it was about the aforementioned scenario, is there any signal that she was talking about the kiss, or do we just have to assume it was about that?

['Tonio09]

I voted the second one but something confuses me.Why did she tell him that he stood her up?Didn't she make an excuse that she never made it to the cafe either?

I was thinking the same thing costas.

[Lilah]

He had it coming after breaking MY heart so many damn times...

I agree! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

['Tonio09]

hecks no! he burned her once too many times. it'll all start to come together eventually. clark just needs to work extra hard for it.

Agreed.

[Crouching Lurker]

I voted the second one but something confuses me.Why did she tell him that he stood her up?Didn't she make an excuse that she never made it to the cafe either?

Plothole, either that or she just forgot herself for a moment, lol.

She, of course, used that cover story to save face. She was trying to give him one more chance and was hurt by him standing her up. If she was over it she wouldn't have zinged him with that line. Followed by her put that on your list of rules comment. I don't think she was being malicious; but she was sending a clear signal that she's not going to be the pursuer anymore.

So I voted, I felt bad for him but I think Lois was fair. I think Lois has been more than fair and mature about the whole thing. She thinks Clark is not interested, I don't think she's playing games or hard to get. I think she genuinely is trying to move on with her life.

Right, it was a follow up on the events in Bride and her long absence. She was giving him an invitation to talk about what happened and what that means for them. "Or not", and she would take that as a hint that he's not interested. He didn't show up, she took that as her answer. Even though the audience knows he wanted to be there (he was across the street spying on her); but it's complicated. At least in his mind.

[bigblueplanet]

ITA.

I was a bit surprised that they never addressed their coffee date ‘til that moment since they’ve been obviously talking to each other quite a lot with cell phone and all…..(but maybe they were busy talking about Chimmy. LOL) Clark did look jealous but what he could expect? Lois is a very attractive young woman, those men around her won’t let her alone for sure. Besides, Clark is not there yet. I mean the place where Lois was (or still is). There is no need for me to feel sorry for him. At least not yet.

[Tompouce]

I saw that he was disappointed, but Lois was being fair, and so was Clark. He needs to be sure that a relationship with her is what he wants before he tries to pursue anything.

Your post is excellent. I voted for the "anything sad" in Hex because I found this scene well balanced and even if Clark felt disappointed, we can't say he was truly sad or something like that

[Alania]

I didn't see anything heartbreaking, it was mutual on both parts, they agreed to start everything over and leave the angst behind. That scene reminded me a lot of the ending in Odyssey; sweet and energic at the same time, they feel comfortable around eachother because the friendship bond is too strong and overcome any angst that might come accross them. I'm glad they are back to friends, and that's probably what's going to make Clark realize his feelings for her: she's always openly willing to give him the space he needs, she doesn't ask for more and that's all Clark needs, since his life is, let's say, "demanding". :D

[ClumsyGRL]

i voted for the last 'cause clark felt a litle desappointed but not totally jealous and certainly not heart breaking!!!

as for lois having a date or not,
1.she's not the type that would lie to make a guy jealous
2.she doesn't dwell on things like thinking what could happen if...

clark lost his opportunity, she is truly moving on, she wasn't hard on him, this is who she is, she was just clarifying their situation in her typical way. lol

[BackToTheLies]

While I would never say my heart broke for any character...you guys are cold lol

I mean it took Chloe selling out Clark for him to cough up a heartfelt memory of Lois, and his first day on the job, to her.

It's the kind of heartfelt thing we've seen from him before when he coughed up the flower to Chloe on her wedding day, in a time of need.

And then Lois basically kicked him in the balls over one of the most redeeming qualities of his character with the "add that to your list" line, like the list was purely a professional item and not something to be cherished. You can even see Lois is struggling to keep a poker face after she pushes that line out because she just basically rammed the dagger home.

[Deana]

Nope, my heart didn't break for him. He broke his bed, now he has to sleep in it. I kind of have a feeling his skipped out on Chloe's birthday party because it was supposed to be a semi-date with Lois. Just as he did in the previous episodes and he gave her an excuse by text.

There is a life to live while Clark is going through his issues and I am glad Lois has decided to live it.

[Crouching Lurker]

I just had to highlight that part because it tickled me and the evil part of me was glad she said it. But I really don't think her intent was to be malicious, yeah she dinged him a bit, but so what? He's a big boy, and she's been playing the good soldier all season. She even politely excused herself from the picture when what's her name showed back up. Did he use the time to reflect on Lois or her importance in his life? No, he took the opportunity to get some emergency sex and play hero games with Kryptomite.

And then when she got back he stood her up when she was trying to work out their situation like an adult. No, I don't feel sorry for him. I mean I love Clark and the Clois, but naw, I don't think Lois treated him badly. She was just setting the record straight. Until he sweeps her off her feet, of course. ;)

Fair point, I have to admit :lol:

Fair dues to Lois.

[LoveHurts38]

My heart was fine happy that Lois is moving on!! and I don't think he will be adding that to the list.

[Crouching Lurker]

You bring up a good point, what's your opinion about the expression he had on his face?

I thought it was like a, "Yeah right. See if I do that" look. But I'm curious as to what others think.

[Minela]

Heck no! Work for that Lois, Clark! It shouldn't come that easy for you. Mwahahahahaha! :D

I thought it was a failed attempt on his part to look tough. Hahahaha, he cares. :p

[thehenry89]

I felt bad for clark, but at the same time I'm glad to see him manning up :D

[drew24]

Come on we all know how it'll end between the two of them so to make this series a little longer there has to be some roads to take to get there, right.

[Iluvgreen]

I felt bad for him. But you can't blame her, can you?

[LovelyLoisLane]

I felt bad for him, but I don't think he was heartbroken, just disappointed that Lois had a date and I laughed out loud that he was so happily willing to just call her and interrupt said date. :rotfl:

Plus it was great to see Lois stop putting herself out there to get hurt, and to be tough but also now knowing that Clark likes her so she can tease him in a friendly way.

So it wasn't an overly angsty moment but I think Clark was more dejected for a second than heart broken, thusly I felt bad for him but Lois was justified and Clark handled it cutely.

[smallvillefreak24]

NOW WAY he was the LAST person i felt sorry for

[susangail]

Lois was more than fair.

[lm1212]

It was only right for him to be the one heartbroken. The BDA deserves it, but he also needed the feeling to give him a big dose of "DUHHH".

[SGuthrie27]

Especially after the way he blew her off in "Infamous," right? I still don't completely understand why he stood her up at the coffee shop, and then LIED about it! He's the future Superman, for crying out loud! LOL.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[amberdawn]

No, my heart did not break for him.

[zHeN_zHeN]

Nope! Lol... c'mon, he's a big boy, he can handle it! :p

[Kryptonian4life]

He deserved being brushed off like that I mean he did the exact samething when Lana returned and then again in Infamous, he'll have to fight hard for her to win her over.

[zHeN_zHeN]

What I like the most is we were right about Lois's reaction after Clark stood her up. She is proud, mature, energic, friendly...Perfect, just perfect. We know well our Clois:D;)

[-Nora-]

I felt a little bad for him because he's just as scared as she is. He's only now slowly starting to realize what Lois actually means to him and considering that they've built a close friendship over the past 4 years, that's scary. But I completely understood Lois and I think she was completely fair about it. She's just protecting herself from getting hurt.

[RedKRules]

Did your heart break for Clark?

NOP

[Promise]

a) Do they make Smallville 9 and extension of L&C TNAOS?


:);)

Exactly why I don't want to see Clois Blossom. The show is about Clark becoming Superman. Its cool to get the teases of future Lois and Clark, but please, I hope S9 will not be Lois and Clark. Can we at least get Clark in glasses first??????:confused::confused:

Lois and Clark(TV Show) didn't last long and I don't even want to compare Smallville to Lois and Clark.

[devilneedsaride]

Neh, he'll get over it. They're just doing the "Let's not ruin our friendship. YES LET'S! Wait, wait, no. Let's not. On the other hand..." etc etc thing that I've only ever seen on television. Do people ever actually do that? Anyway, the point is that they're clearly heading in a nookie-related direction, so it's hard to feel too bad for the guy. Also, he did stand her up and act like an all-around tool this season.

[Just Another Guy]

After Power and Requiem, I wouldn't have cared if she showed up with AC, and was all, "Hey, Clark, check us out." :lol:

[redeyes]

I hope lois dates the guy from first class. That way Clark would get totally over Lana and move on to Lois.That would be awesome.

[drvr8]

No...in spite of her pathetic attempt at moving on, Lois is still infatuated...you could see it on her face as she walked away.

She can date anyone she desires, but seriously...who can match the credentials of the world's most powerful being?

Clark has NOTHING to worry about...hence no heart should break for him. Eventually, Lois Lane will be completely and totally infatuated with the real Clark Kent.

Now...as for Jimmy...that poor sap needs a break
I agree. Lois was definitely touched that Clark saved and framed her list...she masked her feelings quickly by trying to tell him he should hang it up for everyone to see.

[marcella]

I felt bad for him, but Lois is right

[llk6165]

I'm glad this thread exists, b/c I was curious about how everyone viewed that final scene.
This is my interpretation.

Lois said let's put it on the "table" To me that means, the possibility it open, but they aren't going to rush into something, but instead if it is meant to be (which it is) she wants it to develop naturally without a lot of angst or meladrama.

[ClubXerxes]

I hope lois dates the guy from first class. That way Clark would get totally over Lana and move on to Lois.That would be awesome.

I thought she was going to pull this:

"Met a guy in first class and he asked me out. Some hotshot from Gotham City - Wayne is his name - . Anyway, he's picking me up in his limo tonight...Don't wait up Smallville..."

[Selina]

Nope.

My heart broke for Lois during Bride and Infamous. I understand Clark has his reasons back then but as a viewer, I needed for the shoe to be on the other foot. I wanted a rebuff from Lois because I'd rather have him fight for her even if that means losing her to begin with.

I also think Lois moving on is just what Clark needs to see just how important she is and how much he wants her.

All that said, I do want them together, desperatly.

However I want Clark to do the chasing because I think the viewers need a deeper insight into how much he feels for her, how far he is willing to go and that he is capable of moving on and falling in love again after Lana. That is important because if its Lois doing the chasing and him giving in, one will wonder if she's second choice. With Clark working hard for her affection, it'll show me that he, as a person, is indeed falling for her and cares enough to want Lois's attention.

[keddy22]

I thought she was going to pull this:

"Met a guy in first class and he asked me out. Some hotshot from Gotham City - Wayne is his name - . Anyway, he's picking me up in his limo tonight...Don't wait up Smallville..."

LOL - I like that one. A LOT! :)

[Crouching Lurker]

I thought it was a failed attempt on his part to look tough. Hahahaha, he cares. :p

Lol! It was an interesting look for sure, I've no clue what it meant. I don't remember Tom making that particular acting choice before.

[wolverine316]

I didn't feel sorry for Clark because Lois still looked at him with loving eyes. He still has her. Despite whatever date she is on, Lois isn't going anywhere.

[Kryptochloe]

Not at all, he deserved that all the way. Clark may be a superhero, but he can be such a clueless dummy when it comes to women...:rolleyes:

[Violet-Shadow]

My heart did not break for Clark. He hasn't even realized that he's in love with her yet. My heart has broken for Lois in past episodes but I did not in anyway feel bad for Clark. He NEEDS to be disappointed and rejected by Lois a few times, IMO. To see what he's missing.

[kal-el_Girl]

it's just ridiculous to assume that NOW that clark is ready to move on, Lois is going to be there waiting for him, he's got to suffer a little bit now..

[smallville_is_awesome]

No I didnt feel bad for Clark he desirved it imo. Plus I think that if he was to say to her that he wanted a relationship with her she would agree. But he would have to make it clear that is what he wanted.

[Bizarrolover]

My heart didn't break for him because he didn't seem very heartbroken about Lois having a date. Lois made it clear where they stand from now on and he accepted it. Though I thought it was funny that he asked if it was OK to interrupt her date in case something work related came up.

[LCforever]

no, you can definitely tell, he was upset about her having a date and was trying to play it off. That's why he asked her if he could call her because then he would have a reason to see her again & break up the date as well =)

[tbird4u]

^ yeah I loved how he just went right into it... not much just going to hang around here..hey you want me to call if anything comes up? lolololol so great. He totally was hurt about the date, and I really wanted to know what his excuse for standing her up was... but oh well the chase is starting... I totally did not feel bad for him!!

[BlackWings]

I voted the second one but something confuses me.Why did she tell him that he stood her up?Didn't she make an excuse that she never made it to the cafe either?Oh yeah! Well unless Lois knew he stood her up. But ah well, writer's mistake.
