View Full Version : Reason 1,560 for Clark brooding in the loft.

So, Clark saw the Martian Manhunter fly. Big flipping deal. Why is he so dumbfounded by this? He knows he can fly, or rather, that he has flown. And why did he blow off Chloe like that? What a jerk. She has been nothing but patient and accepting of him and Clark, once again, treats her like ass.
I swear, Clark has the emotional maturity of a ten year old.

I didn't understand that Chloe/Clark scene at the end either. It was so out of place and made no sense. We saw Clark do nothing this episode thanks to lexana eating up tons of screentime, and then we get this loft scene where Clark is all bothered that someone is out there saving him who can fly? WTF?

yeah i get the whole thing with the manhunter... but it seems like Clark is trying to distance Chloe from the stuff he's doing which is dumb.
Clark needs to start buffing up... cuz Batista kicked his butt WAY too easy.

Well, I think that he should. I mean, come on, Chloe saves his butt every episode. I think she is entitled to know what's going on. :) I really liked Chloe's line to him, though, "Even heroes need saved." or something like that....

Clark essentially told her what happened anyway. Why snap at her like that? It's just a sorry excuse to create a short lived schism between them, that's all.
I agree that Clark doesn't have to tell Chloe absolutely everything, but she has been going out of her way helping find the escaped Zoners in the first place. A little respect, please.
I still don't understand what got Clark in a dither. So MM can fly. Clark flew. I don't get it.

I didnt understand in the end either:\. In the beginging of the episode Clark seemed kinda distant to Chloe, so, I wonder if this whole, alien who dosnt eat his food thing and flys with a flippin awesome streak of a rainbow after you just acid burned hand printed a dude to death is the only thing on his mind...
But true, the sad chlark sceen in the end really mad me totaly dislike this episode, some parts were cool, some parts were gross, some parts were eh, some parts were ok, most parts were ugh:\....Nope, nuh huh, not for me this one:(

In my opinion Chloe should STFU. Clark doesn't have to tell you everything, just like you are keeping Lana's pregnancy from him when he asked you point blank what is going on with Lana.

They are setting things up for a fight....unfortunately. More drama taking away from the main premise of the show :( .
and lets be clear that spilling lanas secret to clark is a big no-no. It is not her secret to tell. Just like she cant tell clarks secret.

Considering the situation Chloe should tell Clark, instead of him finding out randomly. Probably by Lex when Lex decides to shove that fact in his face.

He doesnt know for sure whose side MM is on. Obviousley we do, but all he knows right now is that there is someone out there whose stronger than he is, and who was basically able to kill a zoner just by touching him.
As for Chloe, I didnt really think he was giving her the cold shoulder. More like she kept prying for more information than he was willing to share at the moment. He even said it himself, that he had alot on his mind, rightfully so IMO. So honestly I dont blame him at all for not wanting to give her a "full status report" right away. Especially when she had the nerve to question him for going to Seattle to deal with the Zoner instead of going to find Lex, IMO.

Prying? Chloe has been working with Clark helping him track down the Zoners. I don't think she was asking for a whole lot when she inquired about how it went. Clark told her what essentially happened anyway.
As for Clark's priorities, he chose to deal with the Zoner in part because it murdered a boat load of sailors. Nevermind the fact that each and every Zoner is an escaped prisoner from an alien prison. These are extremely dangerous people.

i agree... but since his dad died and he clearly hardly ever talks to his mom, he needs an outlet. and if he was nicer about not wanting to tell her, i think she would be okay with it. he asked her not to look into the green arrow anymore, and as far as we know, she hasn't.

Yes she's been helping, and she does deserve to know what happened with the Zoner. But obviousley there was something that was bothering Clark. I would have preferred her to just drop it for now and wait for him to tell her when he was ready. It was just the way she came off, like she was entitled to know everything right then and there, that kinda bothered me.

Exactly. Thats why I was annoyed that she would question him for wanting to deal with the zoner first, which was greater threat at the moment. Basically assuming he was putting off helping Lex, because of his personal feelings...

I don't think Clark was anymore an ass to Chloe at the end then she was to him in the beginning, giving him attitude about going after the zoner rather then going after Lex.
Or, ya know, we could just say neither was an ass, and they both just had different ideas and priorities. Since really, does everything have to be a bash on a character?
Clark had seen a pretty horrific scene. And we know that he feels guilt about this. Then we have some flying dude with red eyes show up and help him. But who is he? Remember, Professor Fine started out as "a friend" too. If you were Clark, wouldn't you be unsure of new players on the board.
Even people not carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders have moments when they want to be left alone, or don't want to talk. I'm not sure why their friends wouldn't be understanding of that. I'd like to think Chloe knows Clark well enough that it isn't that big a freaking deal. Just like I'm sure Clark won't make a big deal over the fact that Chloe seemed to value Lana and Lex over the potential victims of the zoners in Seattle. IMO

I went back and watched the scene again and it was obvious that Chloe realized that Clark was preoccupied. I still think that Clark was somewhat rude to Chloe considering all the work she does for him, but I don't think she took it personally.
My mistake, as always, is applying manners from the real world to Smallville. All will be forgiven next week, unless the writers need something for a storyline next week.:\

I didn't think the writers had a very good feel for Chloe & Clark this week. The Chlark interactions felt very off to me and both acted in rather OOC ways. I don't know if it was just the new writers or the fact that they want to set up some sort of mini-rift between the two of them or what.

Chloe can take a lot of crap from people can't she? First from Lionel, then from Lana and at the end from Clark. That's 3 times in one day and all she ever wanted to do was to help them out, but they all dismissed her noble intentions. If I was in Chloe's position I would've kicked their buts :D

I think Clark wasnt exactly brooding, he is stunned, that people with power keep showing up, and the oreo eater killed the zoner but that doesnt make him a good guy, he could have had his personal vendetta against the zoner for all Clark knows, and well he is preocupied. Still I hope in the other MM epi, they actually talk, the last of each race, that would be an awsome conversation.

I wasn't bothered by the Chloe/Clark conversation as far as them. What bugged me was the TPTB chose dialogue that appeared to be more for the MM then for Chloe/Clark themselves. It was exaggerated for MM, and I didn't like that. I don't remember who the writer was this week, but was extremely weak.

Here's the problem. If you and your friend say let's be firemen together! Is it fair of you to let your friend to all the driving and never put out any fires? I mean yeah, putting out fires is dangerous but that's the nature of firefighting.
That's what Clark is doing with Chloe. On one hand yes while it benefits me, lets work together but when things get dangerous you can't go and you can't know. But Chloe knows that part of chasing the bad guy is being in danger.
A similar situation would be in exposed, if Chloe had let Lois tag along but said, wait out here by this tree now Lois, thanks for your help I'm going into the warehouse without you to find the bad guy. It wouldn't have been right. By starting out as partners working together you're in it together for the long haul.
Chloe's safety is ultimately her own responsibility. Clark saving her life doesn't give him the right to act like her dad and tell her where she can and cannot go and what she can and cannot know. She is an adult.
Clark does this to protect himself from the pain of having his friend die. He does this with everyone. But that doesn't mean it's right. You've chosen to be a hero. I guy who rescues people for a living but does that mean you own them? NO.
So Chloe needs to make a decision. Clark is always going to treat her like this. She stays up til 2 in the morning finding Phantom Zone escapees and making charts and then when she wants to be part of the action Clark leaves her, no discussion. So either she's Clark's secretary/assistant/sidekick... or nothing.
She has to decide if she's happy with that. It doesn't seem that Clark is going to budge.

After giving it some more thought maybe Clark realizes that its time to actually leave Smallville. He has always been reluctant to leave his home. He felt his place was always on the farm helping his dad and keeping his friends from getting hurt.
But, the people in Clarks life dont need him anymore. Everyone has a partner, including his mom who is cozy with Lionel. His mother has a good job and doesnt need the farm anymore to make ends meet. And now this week, for probably the first time, his non powered friends find a way to save someone without any help from Clark.
Thanksgiving was a high point for Clark. His closest friends were all together at his home having a great time. But eventually it all just clicks that while its great that everyone is together he is totally alone. And maybe thats better for him.
Hes always been worried about protecting his friends. He has always been afraid of embracing his destiny. Even though he claimed he was doing the training those are hollow words until you see it happen. Now that he has gone away from Smallville and sees the MM, plus all the horror around the world, does he really need to be Chloes science project helping solve Lex's latest evil plot?
There are much bigger things out there for Clark and he has nobody to talk with it about. He retreats to his loft, which is the one place where he has always been happy when being alone. Peering out the window where he used to see Lana when he was younger, except there is no Lana anymore to bring the smile to his face. It just makes it worse. Hes not a kid anymore. Hes seen the real world now and it wasnt pretty. He has a big decision to make about his future, one that does not include staying in Smallville forever. And its eating away at him and he cant stop thinking about it.

If I were Clark, I would not have shut my best friend out like that. But, I'm not Clark. I'm not conding his actions, but I think Clark was simply in awe at Martian Manhunters abilities, thus, him being ''distanced'' with his thoughts.
Also, sure, Clark, Kal-El, or whomever has flown before. But, Clark didn't have that super-cool red floaty thingy following him as he glided through the sky, now did he? :p

I think that Clark's relationship with Chloe is an interesting part of the show. The writers may be building up some angst between them. I'd rather see that story than the over the top Lexana. What I find interesting about Clark and Chloe is that they are partners, but unequal partners. He is the superhero and she is the research assistant. Whenever Clark shares stuff with Chloe, he knows that she is going to be tempted to get involved. He does not want her death on his conscience. I thought that Chloe had accepted her role by now, but that could be changing. It is a good source of angst, and the writers are always looking for ways to heap on the angst, so bring it on.

This is one case where neither character should get bashed. If/when it develops into something more, then we'll judge both characters at that point, but I didn't really see enough from both Chloe and Clark to go nuts about it.

Nah, I didnt think he was mean. Clark was disgusted and sickened by the alien people eater (and who wouldnt be?). He's trying to protect her, which means he's showing more concern for her safety than he has in the past. He was just very worried by what he released.
I understand why Chloe is pissed too since she's finally 'in the loop' and his only confidant/friend. Sooo I guess I can see both sides. Clark should have called her back though.

I didn't see that Clark needed processing time and that was why he didn't tell Chloe about MM. Clark did the same with to her with the GA thing and he's had lots of time to 'process' the stuff with GA and he still hasn't told Chloe about that.
Clark makes these decisions, gets it in his BDA brain about secrets, lies and protecting people and that causes him to sometimes be insenstive to the people around him because of it. That's what I saw last night. Chloe is his partner in finding the Zoners, she's kept his secrets from people she is friends as well, I think the least she's earned is to be told an overview of what happened. Not just told, "yeah I'm not telling you anything, oh well."
I think that MM can do more than just fly. Clark knew that he was either too fast for him to see or invisible (we the audience knows it's the latter, not former) and could kill the Zoner with a touch, the flying was another thing he can't do right now.

Given the fact that Chloe knows more than anyone about Clark, I think that she is going to have to deal with the fact that there are some things that Clark needs to keep to himself. Clark's life is not an open book to Chloe, just like Chloe's life is not an open book to Clark. Chloe knows 90 percent of what is going on, and if Clark doesn't want to share that 10 percent, that's is choice. Also, if Chloe does not find that satisfying, then she doesn't have to help Clark all of the time. They each have a choice.

And she hasn't told him about Lana. So, if Clark is wrong, so is Chloe, right? Or, neither of them are wrong, since they both are keeping secrets for other people.
Clark makes these decisions, gets it in his BDA brain about secrets, lies and protecting people and that causes him to sometimes be insenstive to the people around him because of it.
Yeah, that BDA thing never gets old :rolleyes: But in any case, the same could be said of Chloe. Her keeping Clark's secret led her to be a tad dismissive of Lois in "Sneeze". Not entirely undeserved by Lois, I might add. But Chloe was definitely more about throwing Lois off then anything else. Again, we had the Jimmy situation in "Fallout". BTW, I'm not blaming Chloe. But sometimes its hard to be put in a difficult position, and do right by everyone, while still trying to figure out whats going on. Its hard for Chloe, its even harder for Clark. Chloe may keep Clark's secret, but essentially Clark's whole life IS the secret. Chloe can always pull a Pete and go back to a normal, regular life. Clark never, ever can. This is his reality 24/7. Chloe can go off for a night with Jimmy and not have a care in the world.
That's what I saw last night. Chloe is his partner in finding the Zoners, she's kept his secrets from people she is friends as well, I think the least she's earned is to be told an overview of what happened. Not just told, "yeah I'm not telling you anything, oh well."
Except that isn't what he said. What he said was that she didn't need to know everything. And ya know, does she really need to know about people in bodybags who've had their bones sucked out of them? Does she need to know that Clark couldn't stop him? Does Clark owe it to her to tell her what he's feeling inside if he doesn't feel like sharing that? Is anyone really entitled to that? Best friends or not?
What she did need to know, to keep her informed, was that there was another player on the board. And Clark told her that. What else was he under obligations to share with her?

She just wanted details of what Clark saw and what he was thinking, but the guy does deserve some time alone to think if that's what he wants. He'll go to Chloe later on once he gets his thoughts in order.

Clark has graduated from BDA. I'm proud of him. This season has done a lot in redeeming him in my eyes.
And really, just because Chloe knows his secret doesn't mean he has to blab everything under the sun to her. Especially secrets that aren't his to tell and horrific deaths of human beings.

Complicating the picture is the fact that Clark feels the zoner problem is totally his responsibility. It is often a fine line between get some help from people versus shifting part of the burden onto them. Clark is bothered by his encounter with the mysterious oreo cookie eater. Like many guys, he does not see the value in merely talking about it with somebody who he figures cannot do much to help.

I think Clark was also a little wigged out about MM. You know, he thought there was just the zoners out there, now he knows there's other issues he knew nothing about. I would amazine it would be hard to express his feelings to Chloe when he probably doesn't even understand those feelings. I mean, I think Clark is seeing it as there's more going on on Earth then he ever contemplated.
And again, I liked your post BadToad, and usually do.
Clark needs to start brushing Chloe off how else is he going to learn how to be independent and handle his own situations (which we know he can) remember he does become a journalist himself ...

I loved the title of this thread :lol:
I don't think he was brooding. He was thinking (which is a little hard for him as he is a novice in this field).
Which is also the reason why he was a little dismissive of Chloe. I mean, he had so much on his mind and Chloe was constantly interviewing him.

I kind of see where you are going with this. To find another alien like himself maybe has him feeling not so alone, even if they are alien of different races.
