Hex... The annoying Moments

[blackcelebration]

Here's your usual 10!

[SGuthrie27]

LOL, while some of the other ones you mentioned were funny, I have to say that the most annoying element of this episode was that no one other than Clark found it odd that "Lois" was already "back from Mexico." Maybe a lot of Daily Planet reporters have selective amnesia...

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[BackToTheLies]

Wow, scraping the barrel with this one aint it?

I suppose me not being tempted to tick anyone of them (apart from maybe Lois in Mexico) tells me just how great I felt this episode really was.

And to be fair on the security issue, there was already an episode where they alluded to Luthorcorp's overconfidence in maximum security on the perimeter but no interior surveillance.

I agreeI actually really enjoyed the episode and it was very hard to come up with 10...

And yes, Luthor security is hardly the most reliable in the world:lol:

[Supsfan]

I guess it made no sense how Chloe got up to the roof of the DP in about 10 seconds, who do they think she is Super Lana?

[gameface25]

How about by the time Chloe was done convincing Clark to super jump to the roof, he could have taken the elevator up and the whole point been moot? ;)

[Supsfan]

Maybe you can add the fact it's still "Super Mocha Mondays" at the Talon, not sure how long that deal has been going on.

[stenochick]

Well, black celebration, I give you credit for even coming up with those options. I have plausible answers for all of your options. Despite this being a fantasy, magic spell, filler episode, I was never taken out of it because of annoying moments or plotholes. Infamous was one big plothole. Turbulence had quite a few. But Hex really did not have any.

They Daily Planet is huge and plans change all the time. I bet most of the bull pen did not even know what Lois' assignment and travel plans were.

[costas22]

Where was Jimmy anyway?Didn't we see him in promo images?

[Night_Hawk90]

clark wishing to be normal again

[Isabel14]

Where was Jimmy anyway?Didn't we see him in promo images?
Yeah, I was wondering that too...

[Mickey_Bickey]

Why can't more episodes be more like this!?

Best episode of the season! I hope the writers continue this trend!!!

[Bizarrolover]

To me, though it was not exactly annoying, ithe robbing scene was a rather silly. I can't believe that a woman was being robbed in the middle of the street in broad daylight with ten around and no one was doing anything to help her. I was somehow expecting a granny to jump into the scene and hit the thief on his head with her umbrella while Clark just passively watched the whole scene.

[Billy Jor-El]

While I immediately wonder why co-workers didn't question Lois being at the Planet, not Mexico, who's to say they even knew about her assignment? She could be chummy with her fellow reporters, or if given instructions to get a story and be as discreet as needed, why would she blab to them? I can accept that "Lois" was still hanging at the DP. Had this gone on longer it would have been obvious to those around her that something ain't right, Chloe couldn't pass herself off as Lois in all respects....heck, the poker-buddy cop gave her a look like she was bordering on residency at the happy home as it was :)

[blackcelebration]

Damn just noticed that Clark and Chlois escaping the roof of the Daily Planet was never explained and also how did The Green Arrow escaped being chained up???

[stenochick]

Damn just noticed that Clark and Chlois escaping the roof of the Daily Planet was never explained and also how did The Green Arrow escaped being chained up???

I noticed that, too, but IMO, it was better for me to fill in the blanks during the commercial breaks and leave the precious screen time to the rest of the story. Neither "rescue" would have served the story. The roof scene was comedy and the Green Arrow scene was action, but they were resolved so I didn't care how they came out of those scenes.

[warriorrenegade]

If I had to complain. I'd probably go with " Why did Ollie/GA have to be in this episode?" Couldn't all that took place been done without him. I mean Zatana seemed like a resourceful woman. Did she really need GA/Ollie help? Other than that...I liked the episode. It was light hearted and fun.

[Minela]

How the hell did Chloe get to the roof of the DP so quickly? And why the hell would she walk in on the duel? Silly, silly.

[Tompouce]

I was somehow expecting a granny to jump into the scene and hit the thief on his head with her umbrella while Clark just passively watched the whole scene.
Unfortunately, it happens. There was a big scandal in France few years ago. A young girl had problems in the metro (you can imagine HOW MANY people watched the scene waiting for their train)and NO ONE moved to help her.
I have heard there is a book (I have to buy it)about a story like this which happened in USA and it seems many americans know about it (I will check the title if you are interested). It is a "famous" story, the book is made to talk about how responsible we can be for such things and how human being behaviour can be horrible and "why".
But I agree with you, it is weird and shocking that Clark as a "normal" guy didn't try anything...

[ClumsyGRL]

it wasn't a moment per si, it was the fact that chloe had to be in lois body for PS3 to show us lois lane's career.. i mean comm'on, they could'nt think about it sooner???show us how lois's career is progressing along the way(but through lois)??? that's why now there's a lot of threads regarding lois progressing beeing a lightswitch and weird 'cause we don´t see it we just hear about it, etc...

[clois-destiny-forever]

I don't know if I'd call it annoying, but I would have loved to see the discussion between Lois and Chloe about Chloe being "hexed." That would have been great!

[dsfjr1190]

Only annoying moment: Chloe becoming Watchtower. Never should have happened.

[blackcelebration]

Only annoying moment: Chloe becoming Watchtower. Never should have happened.

It already happened two seasons back in justice??

[Night_Hawk90]

hex=recycled plot of blank

[Alania]

Oh my gosh, now that's a tough one....was there anything annoying about yesterday? I can't simply find any!!! Oh, maybe EDChloe talking on the phone with Lois and they both have the same voice, but Lois in Mexico didn't notice that at all!!!

[wingster55]

Who would give a reporter who works in the basement their dry cleaning?

[amalie]

The only one that bugged me was "Chloe's silly act to try and walk into Clark and Zatanna's duel!".

[hero`s passion]

I just LOVED it!!!!! great epi!!!! one of the best so NO annoying moments at all for me:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[Iluvgreen]

How did Chloe and Clark get off the roof?

[cygnusx1]

my minor annoyance was the timeline. how much time passed since the events of last week? otherwise i thought it was a good and funny episode

[workshyslacker]

Mine is not on the list.

How could Chloe get to the roof of the DP so fast? It took Clark a super leap to get there, and that building has got to have 100 floors! The conversation with Zatanna was not longer than 5 minutes!

Otherwise, no other complaints!:D

[SGuthrie27]

It must be a super-fast elevator, workshyslacker -- Metropolis -- the City of Tomorrow for the Man of Tomorrow, haha! I always wonder a bit about the timeline between episodes myself, cygnusx1. Interesting point. I agree that "Hex" had definite similarities to "Blank," but it was still a pretty powerful episode in its own right, with some major character and relationship developments that should spur things on nicely in the Chlark and Clois department throughout the rest of the season.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Kschreck]

This was an amazing episode and is now one of my favorites for season eight if not my favorite. The only two bad point was once again when they tease flight in a couple of scenes (such as Clark's comments on the roof).

Another thing I am getting tired of is that every single episode (well many of them anyways) has scenes that take place on the roof of the Daily Planet. Like how many times are you going to go up onto the Daily Planet roof? Really again it comes down to needing new set locations or something.

[smallvillerocks45]

I know what you mean... but rather than find it annoying, it was just funny (for me, at least). How could Clark be the only one brave enough to call the cops?!

Other than that, I thought this was a fantastic episode! I was so pleased with it, that I was sad when it was over. Now, I am normally in no rush for Smallville's episodes to be over, but this time, I was just sad about it.

[AgentChaos]

Where was Jimmy anyway?Didn't we see him in promo images?

His scenes were most likely cut due to time constraints.

[Jade4813]

I know what you mean... but rather than find it annoying, it was just funny (for me, at least). How could Clark be the only one brave enough to call the cops?!

Actually, it's sadly not entirely unrealistic. The problem is that when you have a big crowd and something happens, a lot of time, everyone just assumes someone else is calling so nobody ends up calling. That's why in every CPR type class I've ever taken, they say that you don't just say, "Someone call the cops!" because there's a chance nobody will. You identify a particular person or a couple of people, meet them in the eye, and say, "YOU call the cops." Incidentally, they also say if you're running from someone, yell "FIRE" instead of help - people often ignore cries for help, but everyone pays attention when they think there's a fire. How sad is that?

Not sure if you've heard of the story of Catherine Genovese. She was stabbed in front of her apartment building one night, and they say that 37 of her neighbors heard her cries but nobody called the police. Hell, there was a news story I read not too long ago about a man who was shot and went to a nearby grocery store for help. He collapsed in the doorway and not only did nobody help him, but patrons actually stepped over his body - making comments about how irritated they were about having to do so - to get into the store as he bled to death. And, again, nobody called the police.

It's sad, but I watched that scene and could totally see absolutely nobody responding by calling the police.

I just assumed one of them had a cell phone and called downstairs for someone to get them out.


and also how did The Green Arrow escaped being chained up???

That was me. I swung by and picked him up my way back to bed...*cough* I meant 'home,' of course. ;)

I just saw that you posted on the same issue!

[Tompouce]

Thanks Jade. I think the C. Genovese's story is the one the book is talking about. I just have to check if it is not a French author who made this book, if it is the case, it won't be interesting for people here.

I have found, it is a new French book (Feb. 2009) called "est ce que les femmes meurent ?"/Do the women die ? From D. Decoin. And it is made as a novel. It is the C. Genovese's story. The author put a character in the story who was not there the night of the drama. And it seems during the book, he is wondering about how his neighbors have been so passive. He is disguted by their behavior but he is wondering if he would have made it differently.
As Jade said, it seems when you are the only witness of a drama, you react. But if there are many people with you, everybody thinks "the others are going to do something". At the end, no one moves and the drama goes on without any help from anyone. Sorry, it is off topic but I find it interesting.
Jade, I will tell you how I find the book once I would read it

----- Added 9 Minutes later -----

Thanks Jade because I was thinking of this book but as I didn't remember the name of the person, it would have been hard to find it (I read an article about it in a magazine, you know how it is, you are interested, you think obviously you will rememeber the title, author,...at the end, you don't remember enough detail to buy it !)

Good point! :lol: But at least there was no Lana this time!

That must have been after I left him my number! :D

[devilneedsaride]

The only thing that really annoyed me was Chloe talking about how being a reporter was "not her". Since when? Since... Lois came in and TPTB decided they didn't want to have two female reporters on the show? I feel like there needs to be a more plausible reason for Chloe to go from being a wildly driven reporter for seven years to wanting nothing to do with the newspaper other than getting fired and promptly giving up. I love the Watchtower thing, but this bugged me.

[Justin Murad]

The fact that no one wonders why Lois wasn't in Mexico!

Two security guards to guard Lex's million dollar antique collection!

Chloe's silly act to try and walk into Clark and Zatanna's duel!

I'd like to have seen Chloe's disscussion with Lois about being Hexed!

[stenochick]

Oh my gosh, now that's a tough one....was there anything annoying about yesterday? I can't simply find any!!! Oh, maybe EDChloe talking on the phone with Lois and they both have the same voice, but Lois in Mexico didn't notice that at all!!!

My recorded voice, especially on an answering machine does not sound like me. I am always taken aback by it and say, "Do I really sound like that to other people?":lol:

[Jade4813]

You're absolutely right. Thank you for reminding me... It's the bystander effect. People think that because there is a crowd watching, someone is bound to call the cops or step in to help, yet because everyone is assuming that someone will help, in the end no one does.

I haven't taken a psych class in a while, but I did learn about it. I guess what I should have been saying is thank goodness Clark was the only one brave enough to call 911.

[rick.itch]

number ten but i really love chloe and i just said nobody taks about clark, but they do it all the time hahah :)

[marcella]

Clark could not be a BDA in every episode

[zHeN_zHeN]

The most annoying thing to me was the fact that they cut out the EDChloe/Jimmy scene! Hmph!

[LoveHurts38]

Wonders why more episodes can't be like this... you know Clark not acting like a BDA!

[susangail]

Where was druggie Jimmy... and why was Chloe so back-to-normal?

[Tompouce]

Ever listen to yourself sing? It's 10,000 times worse than even listening to yourself talk.
loool, thanks ! I am already depressed when I hear my voice when I talk, if it is worse when we sing, so I won't try it !:D

[Alania]

Maybe the line was bad? She was out on location, and it looked like it was pretty noisy going over rough terrain in a jeep.

True, that can pretty much explain, Lois had too much noise around her. Or maybe hexed Chloe had ED's body and voice but Lois was still hearing Chloe's voice. Or...no, too confusing!!!


loool, thanks ! I am already depressed when I hear my voice when I talk, if it is worse when we sing, so I won't try it !:D

Maybe it's like Stenochick said, a detail i have forgotten: our voices does sound different on the phone or on a microphone. Karine, now i can say that ED wasn't in her best hair style yesterday!:D See, i can say bad things about her!

[costas22]

I love the fact that option number 2 is first.Because while Clark was hexed,he was more BDA than ever!Personally,the thing that annoyed me was Jimmy getting dropped from the episode.The way the episode came out,Chloe was mourning more about her career as a journalist that ended a year ago, than about her recent break up.

[Marissa]

Where Jimmy went and Chloe's silly act on the roof.

[Autumn]

When hexed Chloe said "You never looked like that at me before." Um, okay, sure.

-The framed rules of reporting. Ugh.

[The Dark Knight74]

A Chloe/Lois discussion about being Hexed at the end.

[GaidinDre]

I would have liked to have seen a ED/Chloe & Jimmy scene, and a Lois & Chloe discussion about Chloe's experience.

Regarding Oliver's escape I think we were supposed to infer that Oliver figured out the magic phrase that would release him. He said something to Zatana about bound by steel or something similar being what she said when she bound him.

[rch]

What about the fact that Lois is still in the basement but now they have her smiling with the Dalai Lama and flying first class? (I should go check out that Dalai Lama thread.) I know that Chloe was supposed to be depressed by seeing how far Lois has come, but the picture was a bit over-the-top. Do you think the writers feel the need to hit us over the head sometimes in case people won't get it?

Overall, I loved the episode and can cope with this momentary frustration.

:rotfl:You know what ? I find it was better than sometimes. I won't say it was perfect but it was not the worst:DIt is amazing how we can think of each other just with our posts:)It is because the topics are so important : Lois hair style is one of my biggest issue the last past years:D;):lol:

[LovelyLoisLane]

I was annoyed that more episodes can't be this fun, how is that?

So I voted for option two.

[justme_007]

Actually a lot of annoying moments:

* no one wonders why Lois wasn´t in Mexico and she was paid for it
* Lois didn´t recognize her own voice by phone ... ughh
* Jimmy´s drug addiction forgotten
* the fact that chloe can´t be a reporter because that´s someone else life .... sigh
* the most important: CLARK NOT CALLING HER BFF FOR HER BIRTHDAY. for those people who are always claiming about clark´s progression. don´t you see that it was not good for clark character.

[stenochick]

Karine, now i can say that ED wasn't in her best hair style yesterday!:D See, i can say bad things about her!

I noticed that, too, Alania. I thought it was yet another subtle detail that made Hex so great. Hex's greatness was in all the little insignifcant moments.

I have really straight, shiny hair. I call it Asian hair. I guess it is Lana hair. After living all these years, I have figured out what to do with my hair to make it look its best.

But, if I woke up one day with my sister's thick, wavy hair, I would not know what she does to it to make it look good. Every woman has their own hair regimen that includes products like gels and conditioners, flat irons, curling irons, brushes, combs, extentions, perms, hair color, clips, and pony tail holders.

Chloe woke up and did Lois' hair like she does her hair and it just kind sat there flat on her head with that flower clip in it. Chloe probably doesn't have to do much to her hair, like me. I just wake up and if I'm really feeling ambitious, I run a brush though the back to get the knots out. Sometimes. Usually not.

Lois probably blows her hair straight and then curls it with a curling iron to get a wave, or pulls it back into a ponytail. Faora really knew her way around hair products. She really did a great job with Lois' hair. :lol:

[Tompouce]

I know what you mean Stenochick. The thing to me is the opposite. I have to battle with curls:D
It is funny because I said everywhere that I don't like Lois's hair style since she is in SV. I can count on one hand the moments where I found it great. But in Hex it didn't shock me. At least it was clear. Not between the straight and the curl (which can be good but the SV hairdresser seem really euh...not comfortable with ED's hair lol)that is always a mess for Lois. Look in Infamous, to me, it was the worst. OMG !
This straight hair they made was totally horrible ! lol
So to me since Lois appeared in SV, the annoying moments, all of them were : Lois's hair style :D

[Alicia Chipy]

The Lois in Mexico caper.

Good lord, that flower clip!! I laughed out loud with that and tight shirt combo!!! Lois's hairstyle can be considered an annoying thing about yesterday, so true!! The straight hair as EDChloe was ok, but that hair in the ending scene...too "produced", u know? I have wavy hair, like Lois's one in the ending scene of "bloodline" and i never change more than once a week, and Lois changes her hair so much that i get lost! In Hex she had three styles: during the party, during EDChloe and the end! She nevers goes an entire episode with just one hairstyle!!


I know what you mean Stenochick. The thing to me is the opposite. I have to battle with curls:D
So to me since Lois appeared in SV, the annoying moments, all of them were : Lois's hair style :D

Since she appeared in SV?! Karine, don't push, that's my hero you're talking about!:p Just kidding! ;) But yesterday certainly was one of the "annoying" moments: her "Chloed" hair and clothes!

[Bizarrolover]

I don't know why everyone complains about nobody noticing Lois should be in Mexico. Maybe no one at the Planet knew Lois should be in mexico except for Clark, who received 6 calls from her the night before. If I'm not wrong, Lois was informed she should go to mexico while at Chloe's party (after working hours) and barely had time to pick up her stuff and run to the airport. How would her coworkers know she wasn't supposed to be there?

Honestly, this episode has so little to complain about that I would choose the second option, as I wonder why more episodes can't be like this one.

You didn't like the little flower ? :DI found it cute but you are right on Lois it was :lol:;)
Yes, Lois's hairstyle is a BIG problem in my life;):D

[Jaderoyale]

The only thing i can complain about was that blasted flower in Chloe/Lois hair.
Then when she went home to change, she put a different coloured one in. I really despised those flowers. They remind me of young children.

----- Added 3 Minutes later -----



* Lois didn´t recognize her own voice by phone ... ughh

We don't actually know how Chloe/Lois sounded on the phone to real Lois. Because of the spell, with Chloe being Lois, she could have sounded like Chloe to the real Lois.


* Jimmy´s drug addiction forgotten

I doubt its been forgotten, he wasn't in the episode.


* the fact that chloe can´t be a reporter because that´s someone else life .... sigh

Tbh, its true. And that was Chloe's epiphany. She was hanging onto the thought of a life that she really no longer wanted. What she wanted was to embrace the sidekick role and beomce Watchtower, which she did. I don't understand how people can complain about it. Its a good thing for Chloe. She's moving on with her life, doing something she KNOWS she can do well in.


* the most important: CLARK NOT CALLING HER BFF FOR HER BIRTHDAY. for those people who are always claiming about clark´s progression. don´t you see that it was not good for clark character.

Tbh, Chloe knew that Clark was busy. He was off running around with Bart. Fair enough he didn't phone her, but things can slip your mind when you're running around saving the world.

[Tompouce]

But Jade, this flower is so Chloe. I find it funny !
I agree with you, everybody can forget a birthday. Sometimes, you think during all the day "I have to call him/her, it is his/her birthday" and at the end, you forget.
And we are not saving the world so...:D
The most important to me is Clark who comes at the Talon with the breakfast and asks to be forgiven, this is real friendship. I like this scene a lot. It is very natural

[Jaderoyale]

Exactly.
I have no worries that Clark wouldn't have done this either way. This is Clark Kent, he feels guilty about EVERYTHING.
To me that scene showed that despite everything; Chloes marraige to Jimmy, Clark's growing feelings for Lois, Chloe being infected by Brianiac etc - the two are STILL best friends.

[Tompouce]

Yes, Jade. You are totally right. You can feel it in the way he said "Chloe" when she told him she is tired with all the things which happened to her lately. He really cares for her. This is obvious

Exactly. They've been best friends for years, hes not going to forget about her or her birthday on purpose. He's actually embracing himself and whos hes meant to be, which makes me confused as to why people have complained about it. We've been wanting him to do this for seasons. Not to mention hes doing it ALONE.

The episode was big for him in that sense. And for Chloe as she realised she CAN move on from her failed marraige and make something out of herself.

Plus, Clark made sure he sent a thoughtful gift with Ollie to give to Chloe. He did not forget her birthday, he just could not make the time to gab with her on it. I think Chloe overthought the "phone calls" from Lois to Clark. I bet they were voice mails from a stir crazy Lois waiting for her flight at the airport. I don't think Clark made the time to talk on the phone with Lois while out on super-assignment with Bart. He's a dude, not a woman.

I agree with you, everybody can forget a birthday. Sometimes, you think during all the day "I have to call him/her, it is his/her birthday" and at the end, you forget.
And we are not saving the world so...:D
The most important to me is Clark who comes at the Talon with the breakfast and asks to be forgiven, this is real friendship. I like this scene a lot. It is very natural

Technically, Clark didn't forget her birthday, he sent her a present via Oliver. he just couldn't make it to the party. And if he didn't call Chloe that night it's because he was in the middle of the crisis, and he knew Chloe would understand. On the other hand, I imagine him answering Lois's exasperated calls and trying to calm her down (someone wrote a very funny fan fiction story about this) while bombs were exploding around him. he knows them both and I think he did the best he could. The breakfast scene at the Talon with Chloe was pure gold, a perfect protray of an excellent friendship.

The only thing that annoyed me is that Jimmy who probably has only one scene in this episode got cut. I mean I think I've only seen him twice this season which is crap that a major mythos character rarely gets the spotlight.

For me is was the bad lighting of the last scene between Lois & Clark. Lois had shadows all over her face and it bothered me they didn't make it look more polished.

Honestly... I wasn't really annoyed by anything in this episode. It was weird that nobody was wondering why Lois was already back, but aside from that, the episode felt pretty spot-on. I was angry at Clark at first, too, not because he didn't show up (because a super-heroic mission is a very good excuse that works almost on any occasion as a get-out-of-the-doghouse free card), but because of all those phone calls, but you all did have some pretty good explanations for it. And the bagel scene and the brilliant conversation between Chloe and Clark at the end pretty much made up for it.
