Sad Clark

[star999]

He and that tennis ball certainly have a close relationship whenever he's sad :(

[SVSpector]

Lamest Smallville ending yet!!

[sstray72]

I was wondering WHO DIED??

[Polomontana]

Hopefully Raya made it out of the Phantom Zone then Clark could get some Kryptonian loving.

[thehenry89]

were the hell is shelby when you need him poor clarkie

[bad3appels]

why was he sad?? did he saw them doing it??

[sstray72]

Who knows why he was sad. It is looking like this will be a recurring motif throughout the season now. *excited*

[Ireallylikethisshow]

Lol, I kept expecting someone to walk up to the loft room and be like

"CLARK HEY!"

Poor guy, he was wise not to go to the party though.

[jimmyolsenblues]

it was not lame, clark has to be alone , he is the odd man out of every triangle.
lana + lex - clark
jimmy + chloe - clark
oliver + lois - clark

3 minus for clark = bouncing a ball practice.

[Trunkz]

that was the worse damn ending i've seen yet..can't stand how bad they make clark look sometimes.

[bad3appels]

poor guy,i feel sorry for him..but it is his own fault.
this is the first show that the bad guy gets the girl and bang her too..the viliant won..the hero lost

[Altephor]

I actually liked it.

It's kind of like.. he's alone now; time to focus and move on.

[riotact9]

Clark is a complete wuss. He's twenty years old by now. We've had six season of sulking whining Clark and I'm sick of it. It's time to 'man up'

[SVSpector]

He can do all these great things...and he sits alone in a barn....there are so many other things he could be doing. I equate it to a brain surgeon mowing lawns.

[HowardFilms]

haha, true, Clark is such a bum....

....gee I could be saving lives all over the world, but I'm saaaaaad....

[bad3appels]

i still don`t get why he was sad??
did he saw them??

I think his just about to turn 19 this season, but everybody right that clark should be doing something anything else instead of moping in the loft.

Dude you got superspeed, go to Las Vegas or anywhere else in the world to cheer yourself up. He didn't see the lex/lana sex but sad about being alone.

[biaaly]

I don't think he saw them, he was just alone.. Lois was with Oliver, Lex was with Lana, Chloe was with Jimmy.

[F-Stop Blues]

I got the impression that he was more lonely than sad.

[attitudejc]

you would think he would get tv :confused:

[Charissa70]

The way he is being written, it seems he is more likely to slit his wrists ( if it was possible) then become a superhero. People treat him like crap or he is nothing. Considering he is the best looking guy around smallville, he really should not be that lonely, sitting in his barn at night

[bad3appels]

hehehe :lol: nonsence
finaly,it is his fault :lol: he deserved it

[Trunkz]

i have a feeling season six is going to drain alot of the audience and start losing viewers if they don't get their act together. i've seen my share of clark saving lives and feeling down and sad at the end of the day. really upsets me.. his ex-girlfriend now sleeping with his ex-friend, his best friend chloe doesn't have a clue and now have a thing with jimmy (lame), and lois..well she really doesn't matter for now cause shes his future. but as of right now, im wishing that damn red kryptonite was around.

[moira]

Charissa70. Hey, you said it girl! Clark is the most handsome man in Smallville....That face....that bod...what a waste...Clarkie

I agree with you here. Everyone else has moved on: it's time for Clark to do so, as well. In fact, that's exactly what I was thinking: "Clark's realizing it's time to move on." I'm probably in the minority in this, but even though we saw a "sad Clark", I believe we're going to see a more pro-active Clark in the future. He's going to move on.

[biaaly]

Yeah he can't sit in his barn and brood forever. And TW said that Clark is going to be alone this year, I would hope the writers aren'tjust gonna keep having Clark HELP CHLOE save the day and then go back to being sad.

[buddy232]

It was a terrible ending. What have they done to Clark. Lexana sex will ruin the show along with Lana's character. Her great friend Chloe talked her into it. I'm done with Smallville. I can't believe I have wasted 5 years watching a show that is ruining all of its characters and turned into a soap opera. Clark's character is worst than Lana's. Clark is barely on the show and when he is he is weak and/or stupid and must be saved for Chloe.

I don't think he's going to. I didn't see Clark as being "sad" so much as just being "alone". You can be alone without being sad. And think about it: he's lost a lot of people over the last year (regardless of how he lost them), so I imagine he's feeling a little out of place. He has seen that other prisoners have escaped from the Phantom Zone and for all we know, he could have been thinking about that. I don't think he's gonna brood forever.

[8SMALLFAN8]

I have to say I enjoyed this epi - (sad from a Chlark point of view...but that's okay...)

I HATE seeing Clark so sad - but like a lot of you have mentioned, he IS moving on - or at least toying with the idea of moving on.

Everyone else has their own thing - hell, even Martha - so he has only one choice -

I just can't wait to see how TPTB spin this for the rest of the season..

:\ I'm still sad that Clark is sad though :(

preach on!

[biaaly]

Well, lets have faith that the writers are going to have Clark keep going the way he was in Zod, I actually liked him there, and you're, maybe he wasn't sad per se, hmmm. Never know, gonna have to watch the rest of the season lol

Exactly. It's early in the season, but I'm going to try to reserve judgement on Clark's behavior at the end of this epi. Now if he's still like this halfway through the season.... :rolleyes:

[8SMALLFAN8]

^^ yea.

I hope he gets himself up and out of that barn loft - and into those footprinted Superman shoes... :p


not that I want the show to end - just some level of the mythos begin to take place...

[Deana]

It would've been nice seeing him doing a Super hero deed instead of throwing a ball against the wall.

They could have showed him building a house in the dead of night or something that was destroyed during black Thursday.

It's going to be a tough season to watch if I'm going to have to see him moping around all the time... <.<

Dark Thursday ;)

I see what you mean - but just because he is super, doesn't mean his dealing with emotions should always have him building or using one of his abilities - ya know?

He was sad...and that is how most of us deal with it - and considering he was raised by humans, I could never fault him for dealing with a very human emotion in such the way he did.

IMO of course :p

[tokenblackguy]

He needs to stop being a little school boy hurt over a girl he broke up with a while back. Like you think he would be over it by now. Its been WAY to long to be sad about this chick he dumped. He was probally sad that he had to kill that hot park ranger gloria. I know I would be sad if I had to kill her. He is probaly like every girl I find attractive is like some super freak or untrustworthy or in his case with chloe not attractive to him in that type of way. I don't think he was moping over Lana but Gloria. Wheres Pete! He should be the one who hooked up with lana. I would be up for some Plana rofls.

Typos are my thing. :lol:

It just that after Reckoning last season, Clark was depressed about losing Lana. I want to see him moving forward. Mopey Clark got old last season.

Sneeze seemed to be moving him in the right direction. Wither moved him two steps back.

True, but I think with everything that happened this episode, the happiness that was his friends relationships - I think it's catching up him, and for that, he was sad.

I will give him this one episode to be completely sad and all out unhappy - but I don't want to see him fall into a rut.

Time for the super business! :p

ships aside - I am liking this season :)

[ginnyfan]

I laughed my head off at this ending. I mean what is Clark DOING!!! LOL! Why not go to bed early and get some sleep. I'm sure his body could do with the rest after being impaled earlier in the day. LOL! Read a book... watch a little TV...'

But to be fair perhaps playing with his tennis ball helps to calm him and organize this thoughts... Therapy. I wonder if there's a metaphor in there somewhere. LOL!

I don't think Clark was moping over Lana. Not altogether anyway... :)

[8SMALLFAN8]

^^ I don't think he was moping over her at all - which makes me one happy girl - but...

about that metaphor...

*thinks things I cannot say* :p

[s_q]

AMAZING ENDING.

the song is fading playing "have i told you that i ache for you?" and they show clark alone. Ironic in my eyes, coz he thinks hes alone, yet everyone wants to be him or be with him. Whereas same song is playing showing "lollie" and "Lexana", thinking they've achieved it all...ha! so far from it.

[8SMALLFAN8]

^

Very good perspective.

Never considered how everyone wants to be with him, or him - I like how you spun me to a new point of view. :)

agreed his comments to martha didn't seem like mopin to me,and even when he was wit lex.He never let on that he still wants her,jus that lex isn't as upfront wit her as she thinks.But ur right I didn't see mopin on his part,but I guess ppl want him to just not mention her at all :D .And I do think him slangin his ball was sort of therapy,espcially since we seen him doin it after alicia died too.But no mopin tho

[dreamscometrue]

I think it was a good episode. I have to say i like seeing the emotions of Clark. It makes him more human altogether. I think he's realizing that he's alone, with Chloe w/ Jimmy, Lana w/ Lex, and Lois w/ Oliver(although i don't think he knows about that yet) and him with nobody, makes it really hard. To see everyone moving on around him, will hopefully motivate him to move on too, and get over his high school crush. Hopefully he gets a different love interest this season, so he can FINALLY get over Lana.

[kryptonguy]

Am I the only one that thought Clark was thinking of something other then women up there?

He throws that ball around (I thought it was a baseball) when he feels guilty/responsible for something. Granted the only other time to really compare it to is when Alicia died. He was up there feeling responsible, unable to forgive himself for screwing up.

I think he would be more focused on the fact that he now knows that villians escaped from the phantom zone when he did and are roaming earth. This was his first encounter with one.

I dont mean to suggest that he isnt lonely. That is definately part of it, but I think the reason to be up in the barn thinking instead of being out rebuilding from dark thursday is that the problem may require some serious thinking/attention. After all, he doesn't have Jor-El to consult with.

[Kal EL2380]

Good episode, typical corny smallville story line. What ever happens in the show is fine with me. My days are so repetative, and corny shows make me not take life so seriously. Yes the special effects lacked majorly, but the shows budget just got cut so I'm not surprised.

I felt he actually was more like Superman tonight. I really hope they keep this up and get him closer to his destiny.

[Spirit Detective]

Clark should have been trying to restore the fortress.

[PacManOnCrack]

YEEH

[Poetic Chaos]

The ending was just to emphasize his loneliness. I liked it.

[smallvillerocks45]

I didn't think Clark looked all that sad either. In fact, he seemed pretty thoughtful to me. I believe I even saw him with a hopeful smile. Clark, IMO, is far from depressed, he's just trying to get his stuff together.

so did I, even though it made me sad..

[Kal-ed]

Maybe it was symbolic, to represent Clana is dead. Clark did that when Alicia died so maybe its just sort of a methapohore.

[dirtysanchez]

Yeah Clark's a wuss...If he's lonely, he should put the red ring on and hit the BAR!!!

NO cause then it would be a fun episode, we dont want those

[ChuckZod]

The whole time I was thinking to myself, Clark could be in Argentina or China, or Tunisia.

Instead he sits in his barn playing with his balls. What a dunder-headed emo *****!

Its frustrating to see Clark not even exert the slightest of interest in the world around him. I mean, come on!

seriously, i'd be playing some texas hold'em and using my x-ray vision on the cards.

[All about Clark]

Even though I saw that the ending was more contemplating the escapee from the Zone, he did seem to be liking Gloria until Clark realized she was an escapee he had to stop. I would be contemplating too that if she got out, what if there were more.

[vikingjedi]

Clark is realizing what his destiny is forcing him to leave behind.

He lost his dad, Jor-El is missing, Pete is gone, Lana is with Lex, Chloe is with Jimmy, the Flash left, Aqua left, Cyborg left, and soon he'll realize that Lois is with the Green Arrow. I would hate to see what would happen if Martha ends up with Lionel. Clark would be completely alone. I would be sad too.

[terk]

Whatever! What is lonliness when you got a perfectly healthy, furry, loveable pet companion in Shelby. Oh that's right, Shelby has disappeared of the face of the show! THat is what Clark should really be sad about damn it >(

[Son of Kal-El20]

I don't think he was sad. He just looked like a guy hanging around in his room and thinking to himself. I think love and relationships were not even on his minds. And that's great. It shows he's becoming the man of steel. This version of Superman shouldn't desire love or women. Just justice and good living for all.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing Clark in his room looking through the paper for a job or watch him cook himself dinner. That would be awesome!

[Pantalaimon]

If you look at his face you'll see that he wasn't looking sad. He was just alone.
What made it sad, was knowing about the other couples, but that just applies to the audience and not to him.

I think that was actually quite well done. Maybe not very satisfying, but sometimes it's better not to satisfy your audience.

could it just be to us he is suppose to look sad but to him it's just he jsut felt like bouncing his ball around.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Never underestimate the fun a young man can have playing with his balls.

[SlickBlonde]

I didn't really get the impression that he was "sad" about anything in particular. Just alone and bored. lame yes, but not sad.

he should've been sad that he got beaten by a girl and had to be rescued by Chloe... can you say lame

[Hails111]

i felt soo bad for clark, poor clarkie, all by himself!!

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

What we didn't see was Clark super-speeding away to Metroplis to stop by Madame Lee's Brothel and Dry Cleaner for some gulit free lovin !

yes I can.. that's why I said it

[Dor el]

Gosh, didn't Clark just kill someone? That person from the PZ. You know that pretty girl he was making eyes at in the forrest? Well, even though she was a bad phantom, she was a person and he caused her death. Yeah, it may have been necessary to save the people on earth, but the fact remains, he actually killed. Wasn't she the first person he killed. That bone morphor fell on the stake and died, but haven't most of his battles resulted in someone going to jail or the looney bin rather that dying? This time he killed. He couldn't do it when Jor el told him to and looked what happened. This time he did kill and of course he feels badly about it. Why wouldn't he? In LnC, Clark told Zara that he had to make a decision about how to use his powers. Life or destruction and that he chose life. SVClark chooses life too and to kill, for Clark, is a sad thing. Of course, it's not like he has nothing else to be sad about either. He said it. He's lost his earth dad, his real dad, and his girl. No make that two possibly 3 girls, and he's lost what he thought was a good friend (Lex). The world is still recovering from extreme choas for which he feels responsible.

JiminyCricket, Clark has plenty to be sad about. It wasn't a particulary exciting ending, but appropriate.

[lanalanglost]

Frigging al miles and the other bozo definitely made the scenes of lexarsewipe, jimmy cricket/cloe, and lollie to be followed by sad and lonely clark to make him look sad and lonely. we almost threw up again when we got to that scene, my tv area is starting to smell pretty foul to be honest. would have been much better if ended with clark in fortress doing kryptonian push ups or something, knowing that some kryptonian big bads from the phantom zone were on their way and it was time he STOOD up. or maybe that's what al has it mind later on.

[wb-superman]

I was really sad to see Clark all alone again when no one else come to him to cheer him up. While the other don't care of him.

[Poetic Chaos]

I liked that no one came to cheer him up. It was different.

[HowardFilms]

Oh, poor Clark...

Let's see, he can fly, he's invulnerable, he can run practically at the speed of light, he can see through solid objects, and burn stuff by looking at it.

Gee, life must be so rough...

[bad3appels]

he could easly come into my place for comfort but he didn`t want that either..BDA,he deserved it

[Valterra]

Just give him some red kryptonite that's how he should always be. He'd get laid every episode with that stuff :D .

That was A crap ending though but the episode itself wasn't very good either.

i agree with you...i have some red-k in my house..i was planning on giving him one..but he didn`t show up,i waited for hours..he didn`t come to me for comfort :lol: Bad sad clark..BOOO :rotfl:

[Dor el]

Money doesn't necessarily make anyone happy and neither does superpowers, apparently. What makes a person happy is very personal. I don't feel that I am equipted to decide what makes someone else happy. If Clark wants to be sad for a while as his emotional and mental wounds heal. That's OK with me.

[bad3appels]

but i bet the red-k could have made him more relaxed..not to mention hot,but ooh well...sad clark,happy clark,hot clark..i don`t care..as long as he is tom welling then i`m happy :lol:

I like that. I agree 100%. He should realize his destiny by now.

[lee_the_flee]

yeah, my first thought was. What kind of ending was that? What's clark sulking about this time?

But MAYBE some of you are right and it's a symbol that he is alone now and he is realizing his destiny. If the next few episodes support this (with clark being more proactive) then great! If they don't, then I'll just assume Clark was sulking and this was a stupid ending. :D

[sari_chem]

i kind of felt bad for clark being all alone.

but then again, he had two gilrs (chloe and lana) both totally in love with him for five years...and he messes up and doesn't end up with either of them.

[Welling_is_pretty]

DId anyone else notice/have deja vu that he was doing that same exact thing (throwing the ball in the loft) after Alicia died back a couple of seasons ago?
I wonder if AlandMiles did that on purpose?
Once again, poor Clark has lost his girl and is all alone.
I felt very sad for him, actually. I wanted to say "get up and at least go eat some pie or something!" :lol:

[HowardFilms]

Except I would have been happier if Alica went off to live with Lex and Lana was hung to death....

...I still wonder how a teleporting girl managed to be killed like that...

[All about Clark]

Maybe bouncing the ball was symbolic that someone died.

I really like the perspective that Clark sees Earth as humans' planet and only kills to protect humans. It was what he had to do, there was no way around it. Just like he felt he had to kill Braniac. Anyway, that's 2 deaths now. Even though one was technically a machine, it still died.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Originally posted by Poetic Chaos

Exactly. That was totally on purpose...

[AM4lois]

Because everyone else was occupied...

Is it just me, or the song "Ache" that was playing had something to do with it? "Have I told you I ache for you?" Ok, Clark playing with the baseball was totally depressing... I felt really bad for him, and truly wished someone would just walk up those steps... But is part of Clark realising he is on his own now... But the question remains: why was Clark so sad? Yes, he was lonely, but what was going through his mind? I know many people said in this thread that Clark was sad about Lexana sex, but there was no way he could have known at that point that Lex and Lana were "doing it". And Clark didn't see Lois and Olliver either, wich brings me to my point: what was going through his mind? Who did he saw that day, and realise that were together? Two couples that he could be thinking:

* Lexana, since his mother did call him on it before in that episode, and asked him how he felt

*Chimmy, that he was obviously not happy about going to Make-out Point...

He may not be thinking about the other couples, he may be thinking that he's all alone, while everyone has got someone, I give you guys that, since I don't like Smallville being a soap opera or Dawson's Creek either, but this is a reality in SV today, but the song playing "Have I told you I ache for you", seems to be indicating that he was thinking about someone: either Lana or Chloe, but my bet is on Chloe, since I do believe his feelings towards her have changed after all the hesitancy in "Zod". And if someone sees the lyrics to the song, it has a part that says:

"Suddenly someone... means more than you felt for" and "I'm sorry but I meant to say, many things along the way, this one is for you: Have I told you I ache (...) for you?"

May seem like a stretch, but after watching for the fifth time, it got me wondering...

[darkone]

Yeah even Lex wants to be with him. :D

[Paint the K]

I've had enough of Clark being sad and frustrated! This doesn't make for good television.

I agree. That's why I never liked this triangle, because I knew that we'd be getting this unhappy Clark Kent. Hopefully it won't happen in every episode, but this one was pretty bad.

We might not want to read too much into the song they picked. If you notice, RIGHT after Chloe used em CPR things to zap Jimmy back to life, they started playing this song. So this song was playing at the end of that scene (including the dialogue between Chloe and Jimmy), the whole Lois and GA scene, and the Lex and Lana scene as well.

But then it can still be consistent in that each of the characters ached for the other (I'm still undecided what Clark was thinking at the end -- i'm leaning towards sheer loneliness). OR, it can also mean that they could only afford one more song for the last 6 minutes of the episode so they just stuck to that one for the last 4 scenes. hehe...

Amen. Even if it would seem like a lightswitch to just have him over his hangup about being alone so quickly, I've seen 5 seasons worth of this already and I'm impatient for him to just get on with it. And the constant reminders about Clark being a "lonely hero" this season don't make me feel more optimistic at this point.

[Kal-ed]

I dont think he looks sad, I have watched the scene several times and he is not moping or broading not over a girl, his just alone playing with his ball (no pun intended). The person, who hasnt just gone up to their room (or a place to be alone) to think about recent events and think about the future, may cast the first stone.

Since Oracle, Clark hasnt had a moment of rest and a lot of things have changed since then. He went into the pz, he met Raya, he saw her die for him, he learned that Jor el was a good guy just to find out Jor el is gone, and since he scaped the PZ he fought Zod and he hasnt had time to settle down and let things sink in since then, he helped rebuild Metropolis, he had his cold and Lex kidnap , he NOW knows some more prisioners scaped and he actually had to battle with one.Lana is living with Lex and his mother is bussy with the senate and with Lionel. So I think he needed some time alone to think about all that has happened and how his life changed.


Oh and the ache song, it was playing during all the couples, it had nothing to do with Clark, it was the song for Sexana, it even started in the Lollie scene, it would have been to weird, and really bad editing if they changed the song just in the Clark bit at the end, they simply let the sexana song play on till the end.

I think Clark finally realized he lost Chloe, Lana, and now Lois, so he's a bit sad...long shot and prolly already mentioned, but what the hey, I'm allowed to have opinions too.

His lonliness symbolizes his thoughts and perceptions changing like he said he lost his dad, Lana and Jor-El. All the important people in his life are gone. Chloe was his loyal best friend, still is, but now she has a boyfriend of her own too, so whatever chance he saw with her is gone. Lois is his future but he hasn't developed those feelings or seen Lois as a prospect yet. So he is all alone for now!

Sensibly, I would say he should remain alone a time, it will help in his becoming a hero.

But by Smallville standards, anything stupid might be coming our way, may be the park ranger aka Phantom Gloria resurrected or something..

Clark is so dumb... He should have had to stay in the Phantom Zone for a lot longer. Maybe he would have learned to actually have a spine...
