Most Romantic Moment?

[akaLane]

When asked about the "most romantic moment" in the second half of the season, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson chose the one from Stiletto: "Phone booth. Lois. The Red Blue Blur."

What did you think?

[abbaspice1]

No doubt it is going to be HOT! But romantic? IDK, how can romantic can a phone booth meeting be? HOT, YES!

[sunset]

I'm trying not to expect too much; that way I won't be too disappointed.... Anyway, I always look forward to Clois scenes--whenever I see them together warms my heart!

[davidbrenton]

I don't expect much for this phone booth scene.

[amberdawn]

No it was not romantic.

[green_arrow_girl358]

i don't know about hot, that term just seems a little superficial to me. romantic? yes. we got to see CK and lois talk to eachother without trying to prove they aren't totally in love. touching is almost a better term for me. that and lois's whole "i'd be dead without you" speech

[FLyxNERD]

no not the most romantic...ive seen better

[thehenry89]

It wasn't hot and spicy, but it was defenitley a good cloisy moment.

[davidbrenton]

I think Kelly and Brian are on something that rhymes with Whack.

[-Nora-]

The scene where Clark put it all on the line for Lois and the scene afterwards at the DP were way, WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.

[rebecavaldez]

I loved the scene. I think it was beautiful!

[Mickey_Bickey]

It was romantic to a certain degree, but I would describe it as more Iconic.

They stated that Clark catching Lois in Infamous would be the most Iconic moment, but I think it was this.

It was the first time he called her "Miss Lane"! Also, the big grin on Clark's face was romantic. He's starting to open his heart for her. I loved that he took a bullet for her. I think he would have done that without superpowers!!

[Ella]

The scene where Clark put it all on the line for Lois and the scene afterwards at the DP were way, WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.
I was just about to say that. That scene made the episode for me. :o:o:o

[Vergon6]

The scene where Clark put it all on the line for Lois and the scene afterwards at the DP were way, WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.
Yeah. Clark knew that he was weak because of the Kryptonite, and yet he took a bullet for her. I would say that is the most romantic scene, at least symbolically.

[Carolina87]

I happened to appreciate this Clois scene a alot. It wasn't all that romantic but i could live with that since it had so much heart and emotions from both Clark and Lois.

[VisionGirl]

It was a nice moment. But I didn't find it that romantic.

Clark taking a bullet and Lois crying over him was significantly more romantic.

[curiosity]

I like the way Clark was calling her Miss Lane. I like the way he was acting smiley and happy talking to her. However, on Lois' end, the scambled voice thing, idk. I think Clark changing his voice would have worked. It was still sweet the way he told her she'd be the first to know when he tells the world his secret. Will he ever do that?

[LovelyLoisLane]

I don't know about the most romantic ever, but that scene coupled with the scene before where Lois was all grateful, they were very VERY sweet.

Touching is a very appropriate term for its nicer meaning instead of the physical one we are so used too, because usually kissing scenes and the like are termed 'romantic' in TV guide and such, but I don't know. Scenes that get into what a person is feeling without having making out going on, that seems more romantic to me.

Beautiful though would feel like someone was going too far, but touching and romantic, yeah actually it rather was, in a way I didn't expect. Very sweet. :)

I really liked how happy Clark seemed and how open Lois seemed. I enjoyed it a great deal and I was touched in a burbling contented way. Which seemed in stark contrast to the darker elements of the episode.

Also, Lois bringing up what a lot of us have been saying about the name “The Red Blue Blur” was worth its weight in script. Sing it sister! :D

[kg1507]

Hello? Bride - the almost kiss, Committed - Lois admitting that she loves Clark, Infamous - Lois telling Clark that her hero thing always made her turn back, but THIS was different.

There have been a buttload of more romantic scenes than the phonebooth scene. I liked it, but it wasn't hardcore Clois like the aformentioned moments listed above.

[zorasuperman]

The scene where Clark put it all on the line for Lois and the scene afterwards at the DP were way, WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.


EXACTLY! I immediately had a flashback to Superman where he is dying in lois' arms and i was sooo sure he was going to say I love you or something along those lines or maybe it was wishful thinking. but i would have to say clark taking a bullet for lois was more romantic cuz the creepy voice when we heard the RBB talking to Lois was weird LOL and then we hear clark's voice lol for me it was weird but still sweet:D nonetheless.

[davidbrenton]

Agreed. This was more Loblur. Not Clois.

[LovelyLoisLane]

Really?

I liked it and I think it was obvious Clark borrowed Oliver's voice changer.

I'm a Superclois kinda girl though, so maybe that is why I liked it. :p

[latingirl]

Yeah. Clark knew that he was weak because of the Kryptonite, and yet he took a bullet for her. I would say that is the most romantic scene, at least symbolically.
TA, IMPOV the conversation at DP was incredible, I love this episode:):D

[melissan02]

Romantic.....meh. Iconic....YES!

[Mickey_Bickey]

Romantic.....meh. Iconic....YES!

Exactly what I said!!! Romantic a little though! That grin on both their faces showed something very special between them!!

[LovelyLoisLane]

Romantic a little though! That grin on both their faces showed something very special between them!!

That's what I got from it, it made me feel all nice and fuzzy inside.

So it was romantic to me in a way that there was such a simple but nice connection there. Of course it was very 'Superman' and I love me some Superman. ;)

However I also really liked the Clois scene before it where Lois was being all nice to Clark . . . and then took his bear claw. :p

[kelly1142]

I thought it was romantic.

The motivation for it - Clark wanting to make Lois happy (what other reason?)

The setting - moonlight, watching her from afar.

The connection - him wanting to reassure her she was a good reporter (since he knows her confidence is down right now), and her wanting to reach out and be there for him.

The puppy dog eyes / smitten yet confident grins from Clark (and the way he initially stumbled a bit over Ms. Lane - adorable!), Lois' nervousness and earnestness in her end of the conversation.

Great scene!

[Lilah]

I think him taking the bullet was more romantic.

[Selina]

Touching and iconic I feel are far more fitting descriptions of the final scene.

It was somewhat romantic but I stongly disagree it was the most romantic. I think Bride was hands down the most romantic.

All said though, it was a great scene. It was re-telling the mythos in a heartfelt way. I loved the links the writers made, especially when Clark called Lois "Miss Lane".

[Jack-El49]

The scene where Clark put it all on the line for Lois and the scene afterwards at the DP were way, WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.

I thought so too. I never expected the phone scene to be the most romantic and I think that spoiler got lost in the shuffle. The phone booth scene was sweet but the scene at the Ace of Clubs and then at the Planet the next day was far more romantic. Was it the most romantic? Eeh!


Hello? Bride - the almost kiss, Committed - Lois admitting that she loves Clark, Infamous - Lois telling Clark that her hero thing always made her turn back, but THIS was different.

There have been a buttload of more romantic scenes than the phonebooth scene. I liked it, but it wasn't hardcore Clois like the aformentioned moments listed above.

Agreed, Kim. All those scenes were as, if not more, romantic to me than the phone booth scene.

[kal-el_Girl]

the phone booth scene was so cute I absolutely loved it and I love how Clark starting to REALLY have feelings for Lois. It was very touching moment <3

[SnowBird]

This wasn't really about Lois and Clark, so Yes it was the most romantic scene between Lois and the Red-Blue Blur. It was a very sweet conversation and the beginning of the Lois and RBB connection.

[kiariclois]

I didn't expect too much from the phonebooth scene. but it was so great than I was expecting. It was very iconic, for one thing... and Seriously... The talks alone made it romantic to me... Lois was being very... different. lol. So cute! Reminds me of MargotLois when she's with Superman. :D

[LoveHurts38]

Clark taking a bullet and Lois crying over him was significantly more romantic.

Feel the same way.

[Mrs. Superman]

Not romantic ... maybe it would have been moreso had I not been expecting this to be the most romantic scene of the season/second half. Clark taking the bullet admist the green k, now that was romantic. And the lovey dovey eyes at the end ...:D But the phone booth scene was definitely iconic, so I did love it.

[victory01]

Yeah. Clark knew that he was weak because of the Kryptonite, and yet he took a bullet for her. I would say that is the most romantic scene, at least symbolically.

Really? Because Clark being Superman, I'd think he'd do that for anyone....To me I found Lois jumping through the skylight more romantic/sweet.

[CloisFan17]

i said yes because I haven't seen one that is more romantic yet so heres hoping for more romantic moments

[topping82]

For Clois, I'd say their most romantic moment was Clark taking a bullet for Lois. BUT, the most romantic moment for me in the whole show this season is Chloe and Davis holding hands through the cage. Now THAT was romantic.

[borednow]

It was very romantic to me, but I wouldn't say the most romantic.

[ginnyfan]

When asked about the "most romantic moment" in the second half of the season, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson chose the one from Stiletto: "Phone booth. Lois. The Red Blue Blur."

Really? That's sweet. :D

[Violet-Shadow]

I thought it was the most romantic.

[IHeartClois]

Not the MOST romantic, but what I really liked was, "you'll be the first one to know my secret", Lois was sooo honoured...LOL

[amalie]

It was romantic to a certain degree, but I would describe it as more Iconic.

They stated that Clark catching Lois in Infamous would be the most Iconic moment, but I think it was this.

It was the first time he called her "Miss Lane"! Also, the big grin on Clark's face was romantic. He's starting to open his heart for her. I loved that he took a bullet for her. I think he would have done that without superpowers!!


I'm totally with you on this. Iconic is what I'd call it.

[RaniaLovesClois]

I agree. It was a nice scene, but not the most romantic. I think that the most romantic scene in the season was in Bride. Unless, they will show us something in Doomsday... I hope...;)

Romantic.....meh. Iconic....YES!

Exactly!!!!:D

[Kal-ed]

I think romance, real romance is not necesarily about grand gestures or a make out sesion with pretty words exchanged, IMO its just what this scene was: making a real conection, they both understood each other and knew exactly what to say to make the other feel better... yes to Lois he was the RBB but its Clark who´s on the other end of the line and its him who Lois will fall in love with or have a huge crush on, without knowing its Clark but Clark none the less on the other side we have Clark, he´s seeing, as Clark and as the RBB, the kind of woman Lois really is and IMO that´s what will eventually have him falling for Lois.

Their conversation was deep, I dont know, maybe some people here should watch the scene again, Clark adressed some of the insecurities Lois had been having about her career and herself, Lois on the other hand also adressed an issue that has been PIVOTAL for Clark´s path as a hero: the lonely path of the hero, Lois hit the nail and I dont doubt that after seeing her fall and learn from her mistake (the Stiletto fiasco), seeing her greatfull and caring and now even sensitive to a stranger´s feelings and even ofering to abandon the story he knew she´d been obsessing about just so she could be some sort of support for the RBB, there´s no doubt in my mind that after this episodes events, Clark is a little closer to falling in love with Lois, if it hasnt already begun.

Its sad to see that people prefer shallow near kisses sprung out of a momentary lapsus (at least on Clark´s part) with a following arc about him intensely wanting to get back with Lana, as a romantic moment, over an actual conection a moment when both opened up to eachother, sure she doesnt know its Clark BUT HE IS! so falling in love with the RBB or with Clark or with both is the same thing and that´s the triangle for two and THAT my friends IS iconic.

[amberdawn]

You really think Lois will fall in love with RBB? LOL

Crush... okay. But love?

[Jack-El49]

Great points Eddie! This is the side of Lois he hasn't seen enough of and seeing it as the RBB because she won't show this side to Clark yet is important and eye-opening for Clark.

[Kal-ed]

You really think Lois will fall in love with RBB? LOL

Crush... okay. But love?

I know you dont want it to happen, doesnt mean it wont or cant:\

yesterday I told you that it would most likely be a crush but that was before seeing this scene, I thought it would be a flirting semi interview, it ended up as an intresting conversation, I now find my self thinking that Clark might take up Lois´s offer and starts calling her when ever he feels lonely or needs to talk and they start falling for each other through this phonecalls.

The thing that you need to keep in mind is this simple silogism

Lois is in love with Clark
Clark is the RBB
Lois is in love with the RBB.

Its not ilogical or weird to think that Lois would fall in love with diferent sides of the same man, on that phone line Lois might have thought it was the RBB but it was all Clark, those were all things he would say, so if Lois falls for a guy who shares a lot of Clark´s endearing feats and who is actually Clark (only she doesnt know), it only reinforces her love for Clark as a whole, Clark will know that no matter if he´s plain ol Clark or a superhero, Lois Lane falls for him and Im guessing he falls for her as well.

[amberdawn]

The thing that bothers me is the fact that she's already in love with Clark, and she doesn't know he's the RBB. Would that mean she falls out of love with the Clark she sees everyday at work- her friend? I just don't know.

[individuall]

Maybe they'll do that sort of thing where Lois is in love with Both Clark (trying not to be, course-in denial) and the RBB (emotionally unavailable weekend warrior, plays on her insecurities so she's hesitant and not sure she should fall in love- maybe views it more like something untouchable?)

So we'll find a torn Lois Lane, who's infatuated with Clark's hero side, but still in love with Clark. I could see that happening. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think they'll have Lois falling out of Love with Clark, maybe she'll try to move on more actively, but even in Stiletto we saw her slip ;)

But then again I know about as much as you and can only speculate LOL.

[-Nora-]

I didn't see anything romantic about the Lois/RBB stuff, to be honest. She's fascinated by the guy, that's for sure. But who wouldn't be? She's also honored that he promised her an exclusive. Again, who wouldn't be? All I saw in that last scene was her trying to be his friend and offering an ear if he ever needs one.

[Kal-ed]

Well, it should bother you that much IMO, the thing is, she fell for Clark because of the man he is and since the RBB is the kind of man Clark is cause he is Clark, then its only natural that Lois would fall for the RBB. Now about falling out of love, hmmm:confused: I dont think so, not really, I think she´ll be super duper confused cause she has this intense feelings for both guys (of course she does cause its the same guy), that´s the beauty of the triangle for two, it actually makes sense that Lois would be completely split between the two and she cant really fall out of love cause what ever she admires in Clark, she admires in the RBB.

Also, Lois did open herself for Clark and he turned her down, of course she´s going to shove her feelings for him as deep as humanly posible, allowing the RBB to take over he heart but oh surprise, there´s really only room for one man in Lois´s heart and that´s Clark kent, whether she realizes its the same guy or not, its him she´s in love with.

[amberdawn]

I guess I don't really view it the same way. I was never a fan of the triangle for two.

[AliciaBaker]

The most romantic moment is when Chloe took care of the messy dinner of her monster boyfriend

[individuall]

I guess I don't really view it the same way. I was never a fan of the triangle for two.

Me neither. But surprisingly I'd be kind of OK if they did it on SV, but to each her own :)

:confused: fascinated??? when? what did I miss??

She seemed to be, that phonecall actually showed that there´s no shallowness in her apreciation of the RBB, she was nervous cause I mean, she was talking to a superpowered hero but I never got the impresion she was starstruck or anything. And offering an off the record friend (lets make it clear she offered before he promised to give her the exclusive), without asking anything in return is a huge deal and its beyond me why you fail to see the significance of a reporter practically giving up a huge story to offer a hero, who never asks for anything in return, someone to talk to when he needs to.

I don't fail to see the significance of the scene. But to me the significance isn't Lois falling for this guy she's never even met, but simply Clark seeing that Lois is one of the most selfless people he's ever known.

[Kal-ed]

I guess I don't really view it the same way. I was never a fan of the triangle for two.

The thing about the triangle for two, is that its not a triangle at all, triangles have three sides, not two, this is the story of a girl who fell for a boy and viceversa, she so happens to think there are two boys out ther but she´s really in love with just one guy. Its funny, this is Clois with twist and a classic twist at that, cant really recall any instance where Clois wasnt a triangle for two.

----- Added 6 Minutes later -----

Your talking as if "this guy" was a diferent guy; he´s not, he´s Clark, Lois fell for Clark for reasons X, Y and Z. "This guy" possese X, Y and Z reasons for Lois to fall in love with him.

You are right but you´r only looking at it from Clark´s side, didnt the RBB pertinently adress some of Lois insecurities as Clark would have?? wouldnt you think Lois has pleanty of reason´s to fall for him as well? Not forgetting that she isnt in love yet and whether she will or wont is unknown, Im just saying that both sides showed why they make a great couple and the fact that Lois thinks she´s talking to someone else, doesnt erase the fact that she isnt.

Never mind, why do I bother, I guess if superflous was good enough for Clana then its good enough for Clois, gawd forbid we actually see them conecting and the writers building a significant relationship between the two of them, guess a blind folded Lois and some sexual undertones would have made for a much more romantic scene:rolleyes:

[baltazor]

It was a very sweet scene with a lot of superman references but it was not so romantic. The almost kiss in bride was the most romantic moment...

[-Nora-]

I know that. I'm just saying that in that particular scene, I don't think Lois was as terribly smitten as Erica made it sound like. She was flattered and she was being a friend.

Will Lois develop feelings for the RBB if they keep having conversations like that? Most likely, and then it's fine with me because like you said, it'll be because it's still Clark. And no doubt Lois will start connecting the dots the closer she gets to both Clark and the RBB. What I'm saying is that I don't think Lois will be smitten simply because the guy is a hero.

Edit: and no need to snap and put words into my mouth.

[Kal-ed]

I know that. I'm just saying that in that particular scene, I don't think Lois was as terribly smitten as Erica made it sound like. She was flattered and she was being a friend.
You are right, which is exactly my point, believe me if Lois had been al giddy and smitten I wouldnt have found this scene significant at all, its the fact that she was being basically friendly that made it all that much meaningfull cause if she does even fall for the RBB and they decided to go the triangle for two way, there will be some substance to it, not just "Ooooh he´s Super and strong and fast, I love him" there´s a potencial friendship there that could end up setting up a credible triangle for two.

see we agree, dont know why we argue then


Edit: and no need to snap and put words into my mouth.

I didnt snap and I didnt put words in your mouth, that last part wasnt adressed to you specifically, I kept reading the posts Id missed and Im frustrated, cause it seems a lot of peole prefer grand gestures (a la Clana) to validate Clois instead of an actual build up, like I sarcastically pointed out in my previous post: Gawd forbid they actually build a ship out of a friendship instead of just having this epic love sprung from thin air, filled with unsubstancial "sacrifices" (like Clana).

[-Nora-]

So we agree about everything then, that's good to know. ;) I've always been a strong defender of slow build up to the point where a relationship makes sense. And the pace in which they're progressing Clois is absolutely perfect.

I love that Lois was friendly. The whole point of her thinking the guy should have someone to be able to talk to was a nice touch of Dries.

[latingirl]

I didn't see anything romantic between L&RBB, I saw a Clark surprised by the kindness of Lois, because she is thinking about his (RBB)solitude. :)
She said or showed that position first to Clark at DP after my Stiletto experiences I don't envy this guy, this is lonely one
and after she said something in a similar way to RBB Evey Fred needs a barny.

She also said to Chloe: I have professional admiration to him (RBB) and before this words in the same conversation Lois was talked about him like a BIG-Fan can talk about her IDOL..

But Lois was different with Clark DP in 2 times, she first was bothering him about "the Heroism" of Clark is be sure that the fax machine has paper. :( In this conversation too (I think) she is trying to say to him or pushing to him to do more interesting things because he is really Good. In professional terms she knows he is good as journalist but he is not doing his best yet. BUT In the Aces Club She said you didn't need to be some kind of hero, and In a deep eyes contact she said to him without words "YOU ARE SPECIAL" , minutes late she called him "my Superhero" after that words, Clark gave a look to Lois like WHAT??

For me all romantic things were around Lois and Clark.. the RBB is to LOIS like TW is for me my IDOL, it is JUST a deep admitation But NOT the LOVE...:rotfl:

She Loves Clark by himself, ( remember me to crimson line: i like dorky farm boy), he doesn't need to be SUPERHERO because he is SPECIAL, like in Infamous she said to him. doubt to me:D

[natbug]

I didn't think it was romantic, but I thought it was heartwarming. To me, the scene in the Ace of Clubs where Clark takes a bullet for Lois and Lois and Jimmy help him out was much more romantic. The dialogue, expressions, and emotions were just right, regardless of the emergancy surrounding the situation.

[costas22]

The phonebooth scene was iconic Lois and Superman but nothing too romantic.

[Smallville Vamp]

Even though both scenes tonight were really fantastic I think Clark taking a bullet for Lois was slightly more romantic than the phonebooth talk.

[Majin Lu]

Sorry, I dont speak English very well, but I remember Kelly said this scene was the most romantic of the upcoming episodes (pos Infamous).

Then, I dont think right to compare this with Bride, Commited etc...

Maybe she think the bullet scene is the most romantic too, but if she said it time ago, it is not to be a surprise, I think :lol: it was a big spoiler.

I hope you understand me :)

[melissan02]

So we agree about everything then, that's good to know. ;) I've always been a strong defender of slow build up to the point where a relationship makes sense. And the pace in which they're progressing Clois is absolutely perfect. I agree with the part I bolded, Nora. If we continue at this pace and keep the Lois/RBB relationship on the outer parameters of the Clois relationship, then I'll be all smiles!:D Keep progressing into the beginning of S9 like this, and I think we're in for something very special!


I love that Lois was friendly. The whole point of her thinking the guy should have someone to be able to talk to was a nice touch of Dries.Very nice touch! You could most definitely tell it meant a great deal to Clark as well. He left that rooftop w/ a pleased smile on his face!;)

[SupermanRox]

The phonebooth scene was iconic Lois and Superman but nothing too romantic. I agree. I think that the fact that it is an iconic moment is what made it romantic in that we are seeing the beginning of what we know will become a beautiful relationship.

Yes, the pace seems perfect. I love it.

[nic25]

Maybe it wasnt the most romantic but it was still a beautiful scene.I cant wait to see more.Looks like the PTB are going to get it right this time....well hopefully!

[LovelyLoisLane]

If Lois had been all giddy and smitten I wouldn't have found this scene significant at all, its the fact that she was being basically friendly that made it all that much meaningful.

That was what I was trying to say, but I had some verbal difficulty I think. :p

To me, it was romantic in a way that wasn't the heavy/kissing/flirtatious 'romance' we customarily get on TV, it was romantic in the terms that the word used to have. Where something was romantic because it was genuine and simple, heartfelt and full of friendship.


If they decided to go the triangle for two way, there will be some substance to it. There’s a potential friendship there that could set up a credible triangle for two.

I agree with this completely.

SVClark appears to be doing what other Clarks have done before him. He is opening himself up to Lois AS Superman (or in this case the RBB, but I think I am going to start using Superman anyway, even if the show won't let him have the name) and Lois with her understanding of things, is offering an olive branch to a man that she knows only for the heroics he performs, because she admires him as that hero. If Lois were to do that with Clark at work as she knows him, I'm sure he'd like it, but also I imagine that he could chalk it up to her being his friend and knowing him for awhile. As the RBB it really is Lois offering a stranger something from her heart, without having a previous friendship/bias to base it on.

I'm probably mucking this all up, lol, but what I am trying to say is that I can see Clark being afraid to get close to Lois as everyday DP!Clark and opening up to Lois as the RBB. Which would be the cause for the two person triangle. He winds up kicking the seat from underneath himself then, creating a debacle from it (that reminds me endearingly of Lois' 'leap before you look' actions :p) because then he'll fall in love with Lois after time spent with her not only as Clark but also as Superman (RBB) but he won't approach Lois as DP!Clark, but as Supes!Clark and can't immediately find a way to mesh everything together.

Assuming that they give the poor sod a suit of some kind (doesn't HAVE to be THEE suit), otherwise the Superclois is going to be a bit lacking. I liked the phone conversation in 'Stiletto' but I certainly don't want a whole season of that.

To me, Clark Kent isn't the disguise on this show, but neither is Superman (RBB), Clark puts who he really is into Supes as well as his own daily life, excepting that there are parts of himself he can't show as just DP!Clark just as Supes can't be as ordinary as DP!Clark even though he wants to be sometimes. To me, Supes!Clark and DP!Clark are two parts of the same man who make up the whole person.

I don't find the two person triangle to make Clark or Lois look shallow at all, I understand it perfectly, and I really like it when there is some 'oomph' to it as it appears there will be on Smallville. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I disagree with the producers. I think the most romantic moment was when Clark took the bullet for Lois. Lois just thinks Clark is a regular guy, so for him to take a bullet for her is special. Now she probably thinks he regards her as special to him (even though we, the audience, know he would have done it for anyone). Anyway, if a guy I like took a bullet for me he'd never be able to convince me that he did not have feelings for me:).

Yeah, seriously. If a guy took a bullet for me and then told me he didn't like me, I think I'd laugh because there's no possible way he couldn't. Lois has to know by now that Clark thinks she's special.

[mr lane]

It was romantic to a certain degree, but I would describe it as more Iconic.

They stated that Clark catching Lois in Infamous would be the most Iconic moment, but I think it was this.

It was the first time he called her "Miss Lane"! Also, the big grin on Clark's face was romantic. He's starting to open his heart for her. I loved that he took a bullet for her. I think he would have done that without superpowers!!

ITA mickey

Clark couldn't contain his big kool aide smile as he called her "ms lane" which totally threw me off guard but caused a gushy sensation in my gut

although i have to agree it was the most iconic but not the most romantic. i felt the looks they exchanged at the DP when Lois brought him donuts and juice was the most romantic. Clark had those puppy eyes and Lois looked like a school girl

[LoisL]

Kal-ed and LovelyLoisLane, I couldn't agree more! Great posts, eloquent as always of our true blue Superman.

I voted "most romantic" because of 2 things: 1) the quote said "for the second half of the season", which is good because otherwise IMO "Committed" had the most romantic scene when Lois quietly confesses her love; 2) I absolutely love Superman/Lois. SVClois and comicsClois is great but to me the connection between Superhero/intrepid reporter is what elevates Clark Kent and Lois Lane's relationship to grand epic romance. The phonebooth scene was more than just "iconic". It wasn't just a pretty visual or anvil. Erica and Tom really sold the best of the emotions that have defined Superman/Lois forever.

I agree with Kal-ed that it's a good thing Lois didn't simply act all smitten and fangirl. I would've gotten a kick out of that if she had (it would've been iconic in its abbreviated way) but the way SV played out the scene was so much better, so much deeper, than a simple nod to the mythos. I am one really happy Superman fan. Seeing the way Clark stood so tall, proud, and happy during their conversation, I really feel that we've witnessed a life-changing heroic growth moment for Clark.

The ability to touch someone else's life, to reach out across the imaginary islands, to really see someone and not just get stuck in staring at eye color, is indeed profoundly romantic.

In other words, this connection blew the Clana graveyard meet from the pilot episode out of the water. This moonlit conversation, half hid in shadow, with a beautiful vulnerable woman, is one that I think he will remember for the rest of his life for good reason. Clark as the RBB profoundly influenced Lois-the-reporter in their conversation by honoring her and understanding her. Lois as a woman who cared profoundly influenced ClarktheRBB in this conversation by more than reciprocating the honor and understanding.

IMO this conversation --not the one in "Infamous"-- is where Clark can realize that with Lois, it feels like he can have it all. His Clark self and his RBB self each, on their own, find a soulmate in Lois. He hasn't fallen yet but this phonebooth scene, in my mind, is THE reason why Lois Lane will be the real love of his life; it's an answer, an actual illustration, of what makes her so special compared to all the other women in his life.

Ok, I'm done gushing now. Now I need to hit Youtube so I can rewatch a couple times. :)

[-Nora-]

Damn, LoisL, that was an awesome post. It actually gave me warm fuzzies.

[Krypto_marcus]

Yeah. Clark knew that he was weak because of the Kryptonite, and yet he took a bullet for her. I would say that is the most romantic scene, at least symbolically.

Agreed.

[hero`s passion]

I think the bullet catch was more romantic and touching:)))))))))))) but I still like the booth scene very much:))))))))))))))))

[zHeN_zHeN]

It was definitely sweet. :)

[Violet-Shadow]

LovelyLoisLane - IA with everything in your wonderful post! It's everything I've been thinking about the triangle but haven't had any luck really articulating what I've meant.

[borednow]

That was what I was trying to say, but I had some verbal difficulty I think. :p

To me, it was romantic in a way that wasn't the heavy/kissing/flirtatious 'romance' we customarily get on TV, it was romantic in the terms that the word used to have. Where something was romantic because it was genuine and simple, heartfelt and full of friendship.



I agree with this completely.

SVClark appears to be doing what other Clarks have done before him. He is opening himself up to Lois AS Superman (or in this case the RBB, but I think I am going to start using Superman anyway, even if the show won't let him have the name) and Lois with her understanding of things, is offering an olive branch to a man that she knows only for the heroics he performs, because she admires him as that hero. If Lois were to do that with Clark at work as she knows him, I'm sure he'd like it, but also I imagine that he could chalk it up to her being his friend and knowing him for awhile. As the RBB it really is Lois offering a stranger something from her heart, without having a previous friendship/bias to base it on.

I'm probably mucking this all up, lol, but what I am trying to say is that I can see Clark being afraid to get close to Lois as everyday DP!Clark and opening up to Lois as the RBB.

That's beautiful... I'll keep my fingers crossed with you! :D

[daxam77]

Really? Because Clark being Superman, I'd think he'd do that for anyone....To me I found Lois jumping through the skylight more romantic/sweet.


I kind of agree...he would do it for anyone - if he could. But he was lying there in pain and had't been able to get up to go check/help Jimmy. It was only when it was Lois in danger that he made the extra effort to save her - and when I can only recall one other scene when he was incapacitated by Kryptonite but managed a save. I can't remember who it was, but I think it was one of his parents (although knowing this show, it was probably Lana!)


At least, that's what I think the writer was trying to imply.

[superjude]

The phone booth scene had romantic content and the things that were said between the two were really lovely and I really liked it. However, I would have been happier with something that had more touching involved. I also think that the scenes when they are actually together have been more romantic, such as when Clark framed her reporter rules- now that was a nice touch. I liked the scene but would have liked it to be a bit more and if that was the most romantic moment then I am not sure what to expect from them in the future. But I still have hope that it will all be good.

[terri7015]

To me it really wasn't romantic, BUT it was definitely sweet and iconic. :)

[Serynarpc]

To me, the phone booth scene was the most romantic. Lois exposing her heart in saying she'd put her career aside to just be 'RBB' friend made me smile. Watching Clark affected so deeply by her observation of his loneliness- yes, there's all sort of fireworks over that scene :)

[EternalTwilight]

When I found out that the "romantic moment" in the phone booth was going to be a phone conversation, I was very disappointed. But it turned out to be the best scene in the episode, for me. What's nice about it is that the first meeting between Lois and RBB is still to come. We got to hear them have a very open and heartfelt conversation and we still can look forward to them meeting face to face. But I'd have to agree with terri7015 because it was sweet and iconic but not so much romance per se.

The moment that I thought of as romantic, was the last DP scene. The looks they give each other could have set the whole place on fire. ;)

[traceylb]

I thought that the last couple of scenes with Lois and Clark were more romantic, Clark shot to save Lois and then the DP breakfast scene! nicely done.

The Phone Booth scene was more sweet then romantic I thought as it finally had Lois connecting with the RBB and Clark fully realising that Lois was there for him 100%. I don't know...just did not seem romantic to me for some reason.

I do like that they've established the connection finallly as it may help to have Lois in more episodes next season as I feel one reason she is left out of stories is that she is know with the secret. For some reason everyone needs to know that Clark is the RBB to be in more episodes and be part of the storyline arc. But if done well Lois can be in more stories by having that connection with the RBB, especially if he wears some sort of costume. Aghh..sorry my thoughts are all jumbled on this.

[Tompouce]

To me, the most romantic one was Lois and Clark at the DP AND the phone booth. Honestly, the phone booth scene alone would have disappointed me. But seeing them before at the DP AND after was just fireworks !

[Kid Collins]

It was a sweet, thoughtful gesture from Clark. But was it romantic? No.

I learn to take whatever PS says with a grain of salt. I guess they need to pump certain fanbase to keep them watching. :lol:

That said, I think if they handled Clois the way they did in this ep, it would a lot easier and believable when they actually fall in love for real instead of the pining eyes that Lois threw at Clark in the first arc of the season and Clark being totally oblivious to it and the lighswitching, etc.

Lois taking a step back from Clark and having them build a relationship based on getting to know each other slowly is much more believable, imho.

I agree with you but it was obvios this was going to happen once they got their 9th season, they rushed things in case it was the last season and now that they know they have time to actually build up Clois, they´r starting to do it.

[Alicia Chipy]

More sweet and iconic than romantic.

[VAILIMA]

I felt that when Doomsday stepped out to save Chloe from the guy with the knife to her throat was more romantic

[alejandrita439]

i voted for

Somewhat. It wasn't very romantic, but still more romantic than anything we've seen so far. :o

[aceofclubs]

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah there is something about that scene that just MELTS my heart. lol

[liana]

IMO, any of the looks Clark gave Lois in Hex and the scene in the DP were much more romantic than this scene.

Don't get me wrong: it was nice, sweet and as iconic as you can get, but I would never considered that scene romantic.

That is how I see it too. They didn't know if a 9th season would happen or not, so they felt they have to rush things between them. Now that season 9 is sure, they are slowly building up their relationship. It is better this way, actually.

[Iluvgreen]

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[That'llShowEm]

IMO, I loved the phone-booth scene, but I wouldn't call it the MOST romantic scene this season... and now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure which moment I would classify as the most romantic, though the breakfast DP scene and CK taking the bullet would rank pretty high up there.

I would agree with many others who have said that the phone-booth scene was iconic - and possibly the most iconic moment in the series to date. There were several moments throughout this scene that just made be squirm with excitement: "Miss Lane," "Can you read my mind?," and the use of the Superman Love Theme at the end of the scene, to name a few. I'm not saying that this scene isn't romantic, because there's definitely signs of chemistry between Lois and RBB and Clark and Lois (yay for the triangle for 2!). But it's not the most romantic.

[Sweetie]

It was the first talk between Lois & RBB.It was so special,very iconic,touching & really sweet.But,there was a romantic vibe in that scene but,it wasn't most romantic one.That would go to Clark taking a bullet for her while he is suffering from kryptonite's exposure.

[Clana Kent]

Chimmy was even more romantic when they broke up in Turbulence.

[Ritza]

Chimmy was even more romantic when they broke up in Turbulence.

That scene was romantic? :confused:

Which part of the breakup? The part where Jimmy made Chloe cry or the part where he told her she was the biggest mistake of his life? or maybe it was the part where he embarrassed Chloe in front of all the people at the hospital. I know that just *screams* romance to me...:rolleyes:

I was being sarcastisc ;) It wasn't romantic at all, and I think it shouldn't have happened the way it did.
And I was overreacting about the romantic-ness of the Bliss-scene, since it was cute. Not romantic, but def cute.

There seems to be lack of good writing when it comes to break ups this season!
- The Clana break up was bad (wasn't even proper closure)
- The Chimmy break up was ridiculous (Jimmy has made tonns of mistakes himself, maybe he was on drugs when he said it? :rolleyes:)
