Clark Saved Lois's Life without the Powers! Was that amazing?

[Ella]

:eek:

*swoons*

Clark saved Lois's life without the powers!! OMG!! I loved that scene!

[abbaspice1]

EXCELLENT! Everyone of the classic trio were heroes tonight! Clark, Lois and Jimmy!!! WOO-HOO! :)

[Ella]

EXCELLENT! Everyone of the classic trio were heroes tonight! Clark, Lois and Jimmy!!! WOO-HOO! :)
I also love that the first thing Lois wanted to do when she saw Clark in danger was call the police. She knew she wasn't a real hero. But then in order to save Clark (since she had a low battery) she risked her own life for his and then he did the same for her! *continues swooning* :o:o

[kg1507]

it was amazing

[amberdawn]

Yes, I think he'd do it for any innocent person though.

[amandaa125]

this was definitely one of the highlights of the episode for me!

[O'Neill]

Actually, he was moving at the same speed of the bullet.... so either someone goofed, or else what we saw was super speed.

[LoveHurts38]

Yes!!! It was amazing!

[individuall]

I loved how Lois reaction was so...Human...I mean I think we'd all like to idealize that when we saw someone in danger we'd go to their rescue and maybe some people would, but the majority would hesitate and try to call the police or like Lois when that didn't work, she had to psyche herself out...Then crashed through the glass...I just thought it was very realistic of Lois..If that makes any sense LOL.

[LightSeeker]

That was beyond amazing. He truly would do anything for Lois:)

[-Nora-]

Favorite scene of the entire episode and WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.

They'd die for each other. Damn, Durance killed me.

[rebecavaldez]

I seriously loved it. I really didn't see that one coming! And the tears! Gosh that was some good acting!

[Mickey_Bickey]

I loved it! Both risking their lives for each other!!

[Loisdragon]

yes

I liked it. Maybe they didn't need to slow it down so much but I was nice scene.

yea that scene didnt make a whole lot of since, how can he move as fast as bullet when the kryptonite is affecting him? Ah w.e it was still a decent scene

[FLyxNERD]

yea i think clark will do that for anyone...

I agree. Way more romantic. And it shows that Clark is a hero, even when he doesn't have his powers.

[fan of the man]

No greater love than when a man lays down his life for another, this sent a great message to Lois, and it told her alot about Clark the man, not in a romantic sense but she proabably was thinking the same thing as Martha Kent when she met Jonathan for the first time "I hope he marrys me".

[myankskent]

This scene just wasn't executed properly. How can Clark superspeed with kryptonite around him right in front of Lois? And then Lois doesn't even question what just happened right in front of her? I think that the way it was shot, I would've preferred to not have Lois know that Clark took the bullet. By having her know, it raises the question of how she didn't realize that Clark did what he did.

Clark saw that she was about to be shot and ran towards her. I didn't look like superspeed to me. Or if it was, no one realized in the heat of the moment. And it's clear that he wasn't at full power, because he was weak and bleeding from the bullet.

[green_arrow_girl358]

it was like half superspeed, cause we've seen him move faster than a bullet. maybe, just maybe, its because all the money had settled to the ground by then and thats why he was leaping kinda sideways.
wait just thought of something. clark couldn't have been superspeeding cause lois saw him get shot.ugh confusion.
and now i get the low battery thing

[Ella]

Clark didn't superspeed. I keep on hearing that. The scene was shown in slowly motion with Clark throwing himself in front of the bullet, like Alicia did for Clark in season 5. It wasn't superspeed but it looked like that because they slowed down the scene. It was clear that Clark didn't have powers. He was completely surrounded by kryptonite and of course the bullet went right through him.

[Sports72Xtrm]

It was very heroic. Made me proud of him. Sure he can save people with powers but when he's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save a life, that shows people what heroes are really about.

I agree. Way more romantic. And it shows that Clark is a hero, even when he doesn't have his powers.

Exactly - far more romantic, I thought. And it certainly changed Lois' impression of the guy who keeps "the copier filled with paper" - the day after at the Planet was beautiful, sweet and funny. The stares the two give each other are incredible.

I think that's the key. The RBB - he's a hero for the masses; Clark is a hero for Lois. I hope they don't do anything to change that theme.

[llk6165]

That was even better than on LnC when Clark took a bullet for Lois because in that episode he had powers.

[Mickey_Bickey]

yea i think clark will do that for anyone...

He probably would, but it was more the way he did it with Lois. He had so much emotion to him. It shows just how much he cares for her, and the end shows that he's falling for her!

I just said the same thing to Melissa, that they kept the "Clark and Lois" relationship very much alive and progressed it even further tonight! If they do that with this triangle, then it will be a very beautiful thing indeed, Jack!:)

[Dominicus]

yea i think clark will do that for anyone...No, not when when kryptonite's around, and he's suffering from the effects. He's usually paralyzed rather miserably. But he summoned enough energy and reaction to stop the bullet from hitting Lois, he hasn't done that for anyone in this fashion.

[gossiper101]

Okay I really hate my self for this but I MISSED tonights epi and I REALLY want to know happened!! SOMEONE FILL ME IN PLEASE on the saving part!!!

[myankskent]

The fact that he moved fast wasn't the main problem that I have. It's that the scene doesn't make a lot of sense from Lois' end. How could she not realize that Clark did what he did? It all happened right in front of her. I just have a problem with the way the scene was shot.

[melissan02]

Well, Matt, is it true that secret servicemen take bullets for Presidents or other people they're protecting, but they don't superspeed? So, the same can be said that this was filmed in slow motion for affect, yet Clark didn't superspeed! He actually took the bullet like any other human would who is trained to do so and has!

Like I said, the scene wasn't shot well, IMO. One second Clark is on the ground on the other side of the room as the gun goes off and the next he is right in front of Lois taking the bullet.

Aw, come on, Matt...my fellow Yank!;) I thought the scene was just fine! Clark mustered up enough strength to take a bullet for the woman he loves (deep in his heart of hearts!:D), and I think in that moment, Lois only realized how incredible a man he was to do such a thing for her!

If you want to talk about a scene that wasn't shot well, how about Lois breaking through the rooftop window shattering the glass?:rolleyes: Now that was just plain silly!:lol:

I agreed that the whole saving part wasn't shot very well, but AFTER that Clark saving Lois and then all the stuff that happened, Jimmy saving Lois, Lois saving Jimmy right back...lol...I don't know but for me the sequence just worked. I loved the whole Lane/Kent/Olsen action. :cool::p:D

Wow. It was by far my favorite Clois moment.... EVER!

No, I liked the scene and the message that was given in the scene with Lois saving Clark and then Clark saving Lois. I just thought the execution wasn't up to par. It doesn't matter...it's one scene. It was better than Chloe throwing out body parts in the dumpster.

[melissan02]

What!?? I loved Lois breaking through the window to save her man!!!!!!!! You're right though, Clark taking a bullet is securing his future!!!;)

Oh, I'm glad she was driven to save her man, but the scene was just...well, silly.:lol: Not realistic! She landed on her feet from that height...like a cat! Oooh, like a cat...humm?????;);)

[Alexander III]

yea i think clark will do that for anyone...

Yup, not just for Lois only. :lol:

[jpfort1957]

He was willing to die for Lois.........now he knows what he wants.

[latingirl]

That scene was amazing lois and clark, both of them didn't have any doubt at the moment to protect the life of the other, without care their own security.. for me that was SO romantic and it is a proof how deep are the feelings between them....

[Dominicus]

im talking about in general..superman would sacrifice himself for humans..Well, when he becomes superman then we'll have that discussion. But as far as SV Clark Kent goes, it doesn't hold up.

[amberdawn]

When he becomes superman then we'll have that discussion. But as far as SV Clark Kent goes, it isn't true.

You don't think he'd take a bullet for an innocent person?

[Dominicus]

You don't think he'd take a bullet for an innocent person?Not in a kryptonite induced fashion, read the previous comments to understand the topic/conversation. Anyway, Clark Kent has been proven to be immobile during kryptonite exposure, was even buried alive because he couldn't remove it himself in Fade. It's not whether he would do it, of course under normal circumstances he wouldn't hesitate, however when he's been crippled to this degree he hasn't.

well hes not always paralyzed when hes around kryptonite..he had the strength to get close to lana and make out with her when her body is full of kryptonite..which is worse than just being close to kryptonite..

clark was either going to sacrifice himself to save lois or have lois take the bullet and hope if she survives from that or not

[kiariclois]

At this rate, we already know that Lois and Clark would do anything for each other. lol. The feelings are there, but I don't think either of them realise it. This saving scene technically shows us Clark's feeling... lol. It's always Lois who's been showing us her feelings. lol.

[amberdawn]

Lois realizes her feelings are there, she's just chosen to move on.

[Ella]

Well, when he becomes superman then we'll have that discussion. But as far as SV Clark Kent goes, it doesn't hold up.
This is how I see it. I think that Clark would risk his life for anyone. But in this state of kryptonite I view it similar to his dramatic attempt to kiss Lana in Requiem. He wouldn't do that for just anyone. Here he was in tremendous pain and he obviously gave it a superhuman effort to save Lois that might have not been possible for anyone else. I saw that episode like Clark getting this major adrenaline rush when he saw Lois in danger. And kryptonite or not and powers or not, he would do anything save her. That's why I thought it was so amazing. :o

So it was never about Clark not doing it for anyone else, but I don't think for anyone else he could have mustered up that sudden physical strength.

[SnowBird]

Lois and Clark saving each other was awesome. I thought it was going to be one sided but was pleasantly surprised that Clark threw himself in front of the bullet meant for Lois knowing it could kill him. A very heroic and selfless act of love. A memorable scene that will never be forgotten.

[Dominicus]

well hes not always paralyzed when hes around kryptonite..he had the strength to get close to lana and make out with her when her body is full of kryptonite..which is worse than just being close to kryptonite..

clark was either going to sacrifice himself to save lois or have lois take the bullet and hope if she survives from that or not That wasn't prolonged exposure, nor was it a strenuous activity such as a timely onrush leap through the air after a beat-down in which he could not defend himself, then taking a bullet. His intention was to take the bullet.

Clark drank kryptonite before and was weak, sickly and immobilize until it was out his system, he was useless in extreme situations. Kissing, vs taking a bullet is not a comparison. He was breaking down, but not to the point where he was immobilized. The activity, and what he's capable of doing is completely different when he's to the point of crippling debilitation.

[BadToad]

Yes, it was amazing...but not surprising. We've seen Clark save people without his powers before. Thats just who Clark is.

[smallvillerocks45]

EXCELLENT! Everyone of the classic trio were heroes tonight! Clark, Lois and Jimmy!!! WOO-HOO! :)

I was thinking about that too. Clark, Lois, and Jimmy had their two cents when it came to defeating those crooks - it was quite epic. I hope to see more of this.

[AdamTyree]

:lol: Definitely

[SVFancross]

he hasn't done that for anyone in this fashion.

Of course he has. We've seen over the last several years that he's starting to have some limited ability to move thru Kryptonite pain...depending on the strength. In Requiem he moved thru the pain just to kiss Lana. Personally I hated the ghastly Fx but he's shown the struggle to overcome Kryptonite.

As for saving someone without powers, that's happened dozens of times as well. In Odyssey he busts into a prison w/out any weapon but his fists.

This is just who Clark is. It IS perhaps the first time Lois has seen it but then again he's come after her before when she needed rescuing (Exposed comes to mind) but I think this is the first time he's shed blood for her.

I do think this episode shows the "template" for the future where they have phone conversations because he won't wear the suit when they have their RBB/Lois moments. At least they had him use the voice-masker. Otherwise it would have been almost as bad as the "glasses" that no one really believes are a disguise.

[gilliang]

Best.thing.ever.

[smallvillerocks45]

did anyone notice lois kicked that dude in mid air across the room, shes only mortal????

Yup, noticed. LoL, but I just attributed it to some momentum/adrenaline rush. The scene was so cool anyway, I just went with it.

[zHeN_zHeN]

That was the best! Gawd, I love Clois! :D

[Imzadia]

YES! It was Totally Amazing! I was trying to read through everyone's comments before there were too many pages in this thread, and I was happy to learn that the majority of us are in Agreement about just how Fantastic that whole scene was. I noticed, too, that it involved the 'Iconic Three', Clark, Lois, and Jimmy. That was Great! It was a highly Emotional scene, especially for Clark and Lois. Both of them thought that the other was in a life-threatening situation and reacted in the way each thought would save the other giving little thought to their own safety.

Yes, Clark would probably have done the same thing for any other innocent, defenseless person, because, YES, he has a 'Hero's Heart'. All LIFE is Precious to him and he'd do whatever he can to safeguard it, IMO. More than anything, those within Clark's "inner circle" of personal relationships have Always come first in the past, although he's finally learned to grow past that to include 'All who need help'. However, that in no way diminished the importance of the "inner circle", and Lois is a precious member of that inner circle. If Clark had allowed Lois to get shot, or god forbid get killed, or get hurt in any way, he would've blamed himself, and we all know that wouldn't have been a good thing for our fledgling superhero who's still trying to balance his double persona. He desperately couldn't let that happen.

I didn't see any 'Contrails' when Clark jumped into the line of fire, which would mean he was superspeeding. That's how they let us know when Clark's in 'super mode', but I just watched this episode twice and all I see is Clark using his much diminished strength to get up off the floor and throw himself between the gunman and Lois. I'm thinking that he may have known fully well that if the bullet hit one of his vital organs, he might die if no one was able to get him out of the room with the Kryptonite in time for him to rejuvenate. It's not like he was pinpointing where the bullet might hit him; it was a purely selfless, sacrificial act and VERY HEROIC, IMO.

When Lois jumped through that glass skylight, she reminded me of Batman, who is also a mere 'mortal', making that memorable entrance in (one of the movies :confused:). I saw her kick one of the men while still in the air with the momentum she already had going, then Land face down on the floor before getting back on her feet.

IMO, this whole scene served to show us just how important both Clark and Lois feel they are to each other. It's the big 'set-up' for the forthcoming romance we Clois shippers are all hoping for. Even some of those who aren't actually 'shippers', per se, still want the Iconic relationship between them to develop to be more in alignment with the Superman Mythos. This episode showed us some Progression in this area. :p The conversation they had later, Lois/RBB/Phonebooth, served to intensify this whole scene laying down the groundwork for the forthcoming 'Triangle of Two'. Only those who abhor the whole 'shipper' Thing feel that "Stiletto" was a 'Filler' episode. :\

Sorry-OT. The 'Filler' attitude thing reminds me of those old Westerns where there was a Cowboy, his horse, his dog, and his 'sweetheart' he had a crush on from afar. He was only allowed to have a personal relationship with his 'horse'. I Hated that stuff. :rolleyes:

[IHeartClois]

That was a great Clois moment, he freakin took a bullet when he was already dying from the kryptonite....man that was HOT!!

[Jack-El49]

That 10 - 15 minute segment was the best in the show - maybe the best in the season thus far, IMO. It was simply so well done from the moment that Clark sped into the room to the last looks given to one another as Lois ate the pastry she brought for Clark.

I understand now why Lou Febre said it was a beautifully done scene. It certainly trumped the roof top phone call, although that was really a nice scene too.

Build Clois like this - the two realizing they the other is falling in love with them and the RBB entering the relationship from afar is okay with me and I've been a pretty vocal opponent. As long as Lois' attention and feelings for Clark are not damaged by the presence of the RBB, I'll be fine with it. Clark's character should not suffer because of the relationship between Lois and the RBB. Lois should always see Clark as "her hero".

ITA. The Clark/Lois/Jimmy tag team and the DP Clois scene were my two favorite scenes in this episode. From the acting, to the directing, and the lighting in particular of that DP scene was stunning.

So it was never about Clark not doing it for anyone else, but I don't think for anyone else he could have mustered up that sudden physical strength.

He actually would do it for anyone. That's what makes him Superman. If he gave Lois special treatment that he wouldn't give others, then he would be a copout. But that's not Clark. Clark would sacrifice himself to save anyone. He did the same thing in Nemesis with Lex---his enemy. He never showed more resolve to a higher level of kryptonite than in that episode. He could have left Lex to fall off the ladder, which Lex almost slipped off of, but he stayed in the tunnel longer to pull Lex up & risked being blown to bits by the bomb.

[skylar]

That was one of the best scenes of the episode besides the phonebooth scene. Lois sees that Clark really cares about her.

Yeah it was amazing, I enjoyed that scene a little more than the phonebooth talk actually, even though both were fantastic.

[natbug]

Favorite scene of the entire episode and WAY more romantic than the phonebooth scene.

They'd die for each other. Damn, Durance killed me.

ITA! Tears welled up in my eyes on that one. If my daughter wasn't distracting me at the time I would have cried. (I need to watch it again while the kids are in school.)

[melissan02]

That 10 - 15 minute segment was the best in the show - maybe the best in the season thus far, IMO. It was simply so well done from the moment that Clark sped into the room to the last looks given to one another as Lois ate the pastry she brought for Clark.

I understand now why Lou Febre said it was a beautifully done scene. It certainly trumped the roof top phone call, although that was really a nice scene too.

Build Clois like this - the two realizing they the other is falling in love with them and the RBB entering the relationship from afar is okay with me and I've been a pretty vocal opponent. As long as Lois' attention and feelings for Clark are not damaged by the presence of the RBB, I'll be fine with it. Clark's character should not suffer because of the relationship between Lois and the RBB. Lois should always see Clark as "her hero".I bolded that part of your post, Jack, so that I can change it into a question. Do you really think both Clark and Lois are realizing they are falling in love w/ each other? We know that Lois already has, and I think Clark is aware of it, but does Lois really think Clark is falling in love w/ her?

That's just not what I'm picking up on my radar about these two. What I'm seeing is Clark HIGHLY interested in pursuing his developing feelings for Lois (i.e. falling in love w/ her...if you want to put it that way), but that's about all I felt w/ their DP scene last night.
Don't get wrong, I loved that scene:D, as well as their other scenes together in Stiletto, but I'm not going to jump the gun here, because I still believe we'll get the Lois/RBB/Clark triangle to stall the real relationship we all want.

I don't think the RBB will enter and stay on the outer parameters of the Lois & Clark relationship. It would be premature after one episode to think otherwise, IMO.
I'm in complete agreement w/ you that Clark's character should not suffer from a relationship (however it may be) between Lois and the RBB. Should things proceed w/ Lois & Clark like last night, I think we'll be fine moving into S9 progressively, but I'm still cautious after one episode.

[pizzahead2490]

it was the best part of the eppy

[baltazor]

It was incredible. Clark usually can't save himself when he is around kryptonite. But when Lois was in danger i guess all bets are off!! :)

[marcella]

That was amazing

[Mickey_Bickey]

No, I liked the scene and the message that was given in the scene with Lois saving Clark and then Clark saving Lois. I just thought the execution wasn't up to par. It doesn't matter...it's one scene. It was better than Chloe throwing out body parts in the dumpster.


Did you catch the color of the trash bags, Matt? Blue and Red! Symbolic of her throwing their friendship away!

Anyhow, you're right about it being one scene. I enjoyed it though!

it was ridiculous because how the heck could lois kick a man 20 feet across the room but this is off topic.


Because "Hello, she's Lois Lane"!;)

[drvr8]

after the AoS and the kryptonite kiss, is it so hard to believe that he could vault himself in front of Lois even with the kryptonite around? ;)

[Sunny8]

I didn't think it was amazing because with or without powers Clark is a good hearted person. He would have done it for anyone, I believe.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----


Everyone of the classic trio were heroes tonight! Clark, Lois and Jimmy!!! WOO-HOO! :)

I liked that part too despite the fact that the writer's have turned Jimmy into a drug addict.

[SupermanRox]

Yes, this scene was wonderful! Clark showed that with or without powers he will do whatever is necessary to save anyone. I loved this scene. It was fantastic!

[natbug]

Clark didn't superspeed. I keep on hearing that. The scene was shown in slowly motion with Clark throwing himself in front of the bullet, like Alicia did for Clark in season 5. It wasn't superspeed but it looked like that because they slowed down the scene. It was clear that Clark didn't have powers. He was completely surrounded by kryptonite and of course the bullet went right through him.

IA To add to the above, Clark wasn't "racing" a bullet. He didn't neccessarily need to speed since he was perpendicular to the bullet's path, not parrallel.

[Mindylynne]

It was a great scene. I loved how Lois was crying afterwards. Too bad no hospital scene. Although that would have been awkward since he healed as soon as he left the room.

[petitemimi]

I have to say, I was p*ssed when we got the spoiler that Clark was going to be saved once again in this episode. But I didn't expect this awesome twist. Clark saving Lois without powers and despite the agonizing pain of green k. I loved it!

[Griffin]

Yes it was amazing, this was the first time I've seen Clark get up (while being exposed to Kryptonite. That goes to show how much he cares for Lois. He fought through the pain to save her.

[gx25236]

Clark was at about the same distance as the shooter when the bullet was fired. In order to take the bullet he would need to move at about the same speed as it. That about 300 m/s or 1000 km/h. That's faster than any human and even if a human could, the acceleration would kill him/her.
Secret Service agents can take bullets because they are right next to the USA president and they would move to the line of fire as soon as they detect the shooter.

[gossiper101]

He did it because he loves her deep inside and just doesnt know it yet but he didnt want anything to hurt her

[wingster55]

Heroic and amazing sure...but he probably would have done it for anyone.

[superjude]

That was just the hottest thing that he could have done in this episode! It was totally awesome and I loved every second of that scene.

[Wicked Lois]

just answering the question: HELL YES!

[dreamscometrue]

I think Clark might have taken the bullet no matter who the gun was aimed at. However, if you look at his face right before he jumps in front of Lois, it pretty much says it all. And the stares after......Oh yeah it's only a matter of time for those two

[4Clana]

that was a great save and a good scene afterwards with Lois telling him he didn't need to be some kind of hero

[badraven]

It was amazing. The whole sequence pretty much kicked. Even though I do think Clark would have done what he did for Lois, jumping in front of the bullet, for anyone I do think it meant a lot to Clark that he protected Lois b/c of his feelings for her. We must remember that Clark has risked his life to save others when he didn't have his abilities several times throughout the series. As others have said...that is who Clark is. He's a hero. Almost as big for me was Lois jumping in to save Clark. That was big time. All in all great stuff.

[liana]

Maybe I see things differently from everyone else, but I think there were two amazings truths in that scene. The first, obvious one is that Clark would do anything to save someone else's life. It is a part of who he is, and he would do it with or without powers. I don't think anyone who has watched the show could doubt that.

And yet, there was something very unique on that scene, that comes from the fact that Clark overcame his weakness when he realized Lois was in danger. He frist tried to warn her by screaming her name, but then, he quickly realized that she wasn't going to react and he find in himself enough strengh to jump in front of the bullet to save her. I have no doubt that Clark would jump in front of a bullet, without his powers, to save anyone, but to overcome the pain and the weakness kryptonite gives him, he has to deeply care for that person.

Personally, I don't think this means that he realized Lois is the great love of his life, at least, not yet. I do, however, think that he wouldn't be able to overcome kryptonite for a stranger, for example, but I can see him doing it for Chloe, Lana and his mother. This scene is just another proof that Lois is very important to Clark. Of course we had others scenes to show us this, but I just don't see this scene as a proof of love. I see it as another scene that proves that he cares deeply about her. And we already know that.

For me, I see this scene as both Clark being heroic and Clark caring deeply for Lois, but not necessarily in love with her. I see a lot of signs, this season, that Clark is or will be falling in love with Lois, but this scene is not one of those, IMO. This scene only show us that he is heroic, and that he cares enough about her ot overcome his weakness, and I do believe he would have done the same for any other woman in his life.

[Sweetie]

She saved his life and he saved hers.It was simply wonderful.

[hero`s passion]

That scene was perfect!!! Clark already loves her and he knows that now...:)))))))))))))))) He would do it for anyone,I`m sure, but he was too weak to even move to save himself and Jimmy - that means that her life for him is more important than his own...he was So afraid to lose her, that he could put all his pieces of power to that last jump- AMAZING!!!!!

[Tompouce]

Clark saved her but above all was there to help her to speak about her feelings. To say she can be wrong, she can feel lonely, she can be a true friend,...It is the emotional Lois we see at the end of Stiletto. Thanks to Clark's comments and reactions during all this epi. We can say he helped a lot for their future relationship, for once, he was the one who help the other to grow and not the opposite as usual

[O'Neill]

The problem with the scene is that Clark is moving faster than the bullet. Regardless of how you want to look at it, the "slow mo" shot shows Clark jumping in front of Lois after the gun was already fired. Then we see a bullet heading towards lois, and Clark wizzing by at a faster speed.

The whole shot was just poorly put together. If you want to get really technical, Clark was definitely in "super speed" based on the speed on the bullet. If the whole shot was not meant to be considered "super speed", but rather "slow mo", then the bullet should have been traveling 10x faster.

Thats my breakdown.

[jpfort1957]

On down the road.........after Lois finds out Clark's secret, will she realize Clark almost gave up his immortality for her? I hope so!!!!!!!

[lifelovedestiny]

It was sooo amazing!!!! I did not see that coming at all!!! It was totally perfect!!

[Superman of Krypton]

I know this show shouldn't be taken seriously at this point when it comes to anything intelligent and scientific.... but

The gun was fired and the bullet shot out before Clark got up and jumped in the way... yet Clark was powerless :confused:

Lois seemed to somehow get superpowers too; the way she kicked the thug flying across the room Power Ranger style.

It was a strange scene.

[miller31]

As others have said, Clark would probably have taken a bullet for anyone and the fact that it was someone close to him helped push him past the pain of GreenK. However, although we know it's a romantic act, Clark may have also seen it from a different perspective..."if this mortal woman, who could be killed, risked her life to save me (and Jimmy), the least I can do is my best to save her". He may not have known if he would have the speed or invulnerability to save her or survive the attempt, but he had to try.

[LorelaiG]

I think this act means l.o.v.e, is IN him but his acts with his heart his head its not there yet....but its getting there, just watch the last two scenes

[abbaspice1]

Look at the scene people. Clark couldn't/wouldn't get up to save him or Jimmy. Yet, the moment Lois is in danger, he finds the will to jump and take a bullet for her. That says a lot!

yep, i have to agree, the scene wasnt shot very well, but it doesnt change the fact, that it was amazing from him to jump in front of her :)

Meh...so Lois inspired Clark to be 'Super' even when he's crippled by GreenK, I can live with that ;)

[xrayvision]

He didn't need inspiration. As long as he could have, he would have taken the bullet for Lois, Jimmy, or even someone he didn't know. If he didn't, then he would lose any chance of ever being called Superman. In Duplicity, he tried to save Dr. Hamilton even after he tried to kill him & Pete but couldn't after getting overcome by kryptonite.

----- Added 7 Minutes later -----


Look at the scene people. Clark couldn't/wouldn't get up to save him or Jimmy. Yet, the moment Lois is in danger, he finds the will to jump and take a bullet for her. That says a lot!

Actually, Clark was getting kicked in the gut by Bruno. Plus Jimmy wasn't in the immediate danger that Lois was in. Jimmy was down & out on the floor. Lois had a gun pointed & in the process of being fired at her. Clark was able to get up once Lois created the distraction that took Bruno away from beating him up.

Saying that Clark only takes bullets for those he wants to hook up with is defacing the character of Superman. If Clark did that, he wouldn't be Superman. He would just be a Lois protector/stalker, like he was of Lana's in season 6, which is one of the biggest reasons I hate that season so much. In the comics, when Superman was forced to make a decision to save Lois or a bunch of people he doesn't know, he always went to save those who were in the most danger and chose the option that resulted in the most lives being saved. After that, he went back to save Lois.

That act isn't something that should have a 'shipper spin placed on it. We need to take it for what it was---the 3 friends (Lois, Clark & Jimmy) covering each other's backs the moment each realized one of them was in danger & they were able to help. That's what made it so wonderful.

:)

Very true, I can't argue with that. I was just messin' (hence the wink) because to be honest, I don't see what difference it makes whether he super sped or not. The point is simple, Clark would risk his life for anyone, that's why he's such a hero. It's just that bit more special when he's in extreme pain on the floor, unable to protect himself and Jimmy, but still manages to jump infront of a bullet. But I agree with you, he'd do it for anyone.

[Davis Bloome]

That's how a guy can prove his love and Clark certainly did. Was the scene good. Yes very good. Amazing is a bit over the top. There weren't any scenes which were amazing to me, though the episode exceeded my expectations. However my expectations were pretty low as I thought this episode was 'just' going to be a "filler". However it was better than I thought it was going to be and it was certainly more important than a filler episode.

Yeah, I say the same thing about that scene. It was amazing. It was shot poorly, but nonetheless, I understand that Clark wasn't meant to be in superspeed. They should have spliced the footage of Bruno firing the gun after the footage of Clark diving. That would have made it seem so much better.

[red_sun1938]

a-mazing!!

However it was better than I thought it was going to be and it was certainly more important than a filler episode.

I don't consider this a filler either. Especially since Bruno Mannheim was introduced and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Intergang will show up next season. That would be like how in Obscura Lex found the key to Clark's ship after speaking to Eddie Cole & having Dr. Hamilton search the field in which Cole saw Clark's ship crash. The key was a major element in season 2 and in this case Intergang (of which Mannheim is a member) would be a major element in season 9.

We also had some well deserved RBB plot, which is a major element of season 8 as seen in Identity. I just wish they developed it a lot more. And the Chloe hiding Davis thing which is coming to a climax very soon is another major season 8 plot.

[jobookjunkie]

I'm just. so ECSTATIC. I know that Clark would've jumped in front of a bullet for anyone, but the fact that it was Lois has extra resonance for me. And then she was CRYING!! I mean...wow, just wow. The whole scene was just brilliant, IMO.

Yeah, that's the thing. Even though we all know Clark would have taken the bullet for anyone, Lois doesn't. And that's a great & subtle way to keep the stuff that happened between them in Bride & throughout the season alive and stronger than the anvils they were dropping non-stop. That scene with Clark smiling at her was another great unspoken way of keeping that up. Those scenes & the last one on the phone should be the template used in writing the stuff between them from now on. It's so much more believable.

My Hero!!!!!!

[Tatiana]

I seriously loved it. I really didn't see that one coming! And the tears! Gosh that was some good acting!


lol ya I cried with her, I don't like seeing Tom hurt sniff sniff I know I am going to do some major crying by the end of the season lol I love your avatar btw

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----


This scene just wasn't executed properly. How can Clark superspeed with kryptonite around him right in front of Lois? And then Lois doesn't even question what just happened right in front of her? I think that the way it was shot, I would've preferred to not have Lois know that Clark took the bullet. By having her know, it raises the question of how she didn't realize that Clark did what he did.


I don't think he supersped, I think they just showed it in slow motion to give more drama to it, he was weakened by the kryptonite, that's why he got hurt so his superspeed was affected as well, we just saw it in slow motion

[Davis Bloome]

It's difficult to say if he supersped. See that he jumped after the shot was fired. It would be impossible for him to catch the bullet if it was already fired without superspeeding. However there is no indication (slow motion waves you see when Clark superspeeds) that he did supersped.

[justme_007]

i think it was a heroic scene ;)

[Tompouce]

Of course, it was amazing but not surprising, we are talking about Clark;)

[SuperGEM]

Absolutely! Proved how much he loves her! ;)

[Dustmite]

Nope. If Clark's heroism was defined only by the powers he has then he wouldn't become the hero we know he will.

[Violet-Shadow]

Everytime Clark saves someone it's amazing.

[doomsday1215]

whats funny is when she jumped from the roof, she went to Jimmy first instead of Clark :lol:

[ClarkJKentsWoman]

Absolutely amazing.

So amazing it made me cry.

[terri7015]

HECK to the YES it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol :D

[Cloisfan_90]

Freaking amazing...!! lol

[tgf5]

I honestly doubt that if it was someone he didn't know, he wouldn't summon enough strength to get to that bullet in time.

Thats my breakdown.

True, the bullet was fired before he jumped but I think he realized the gun was pointed at her at jumped. The scene was shot poorly, but I think it was intended he was already jumping. He did after all, call out to Lois to warn her of the gun.
