Anyone else LOL @ the kryptonite scene?

[sithius]

It made me laugh when Clark was on the floor going 'No Kara stay back' and Kara just looked confused; not weakened.

Countless episodes I've seen Clark further back from kryptonite then Kara was and affected badly. But then Kara uses her laser vision to save the day? What a joke!

Why wouldn't Clark have tried this before? Is he brain dead?

Yes, yes he is.

[Silent Kal]

But wasn't it the super-hearing episode when Clark used heat vision, and it rebounded off of the kryptonite and blinded him? That may be why he doesn't use it more often.

There were only 2 times Clark used his heat vision on GreenK...

As you mentioned, Whisper, that blinded him

and Onyx, when he made the GreenK in Lex's ring turn to Black K

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Obviously Kara has the REAL heat vision ;)

That's a pretty good explanation for why he doesn't heat vision kryptonite more often. One time left him blind, a second created black K. Black kryptonite isn't something he wants to be leaving all over the place. :)

Fact: kryptonite has effected Clark differently throughout the entire series, and even throughout comicdom. The writers make kryptonite as weak or as powerful as they need it to be. Clark has actually *supersped* away from kryptonite that was right beside him (Splinter). And then other times he's fallen down dying from kryptonite that was just in the same room as him. The reason Kara exploded the kryptonite is because she was using heat vision unchecked. It was a reference back to the earlier scene where she blew up the melon. She never learned to control it the way Clark does. Technically this makes Clark the more intelligent of the two, since he can focus and make his heat vision as small and non-lethal as possible, or as intense as he needs it to be. Kara blew up the kryptonite by using her heat vision at near full force, simple as that.

[sirconical]

It makes him more experienced, not more intelligent.

I instantly thought of Black K when she did that too. I guess they could argue it wasn't refined like Lex's Kryptonite ring. Earlier in Onyx the doctor told Lex that it had to be a very specific temperature to turn it into black K. They could use that to explain it. That leads me back to what always bothered me about Onyx though. How on earth did Clark know the temperature? Lucky guess??

[Superbeard]

In Splinter when Clark supersped away from green k it was during a hallucination from the silver k, so it didn't technically happen...

And yeah, the other times that Clark has used heat vision on green k it's been like pure green k. This was just another one of those rocks with a bit of green k in it. She blasted the rock apart, not the green k bits and pieces.

[wolverine316]

And the Clark bashing continues...............

[chlo-el]

Yeah it surprised me that she could just blow the Kryptonite up like that. Didn't try somthing like that before it caused him to become blind.

[CLSmith]

Yes it did.

The kryptonite was just there to get our boy in trouble.

Then cuz swoops in and saves his bacon!

Hi Midgard. I usually tend to agree with you almost completely, but I have to disagree pretty strongly on this issue. Clark's greater abilities with his heat vision do NOT in any way make him more intelligent. They mean that he's had a LOT more practice than she has. It doesn't make him more intelligent though, any more so than greater accuracy in using super-breath or even throwing a football would make him more intelligent than her.

[LionelLuthor]

As superbeard says- Kara blasted the rock, not the kryptonite pieces.

[smallvillefreak24]

I was kinda like - that's it? and ya if it was that easy y wouldnt clark have done that the hundreds of times he was w/ kryptonite in the room? Her super kick also made me laugh.. i was like o wow

[Honey45]

"Whisper": Clark uses heat vision on kryptonite, it back fires, he goes blind.

I thought this scene was awful because of the acting. When Tom got up from the ground and walked over to Kara. It was so bad. Tom is normally a very good actor.
This episode was a joke :(

[outsyder]

Actually, the last time Kryptonite was heated until it exploded, Lex split into two different personalities, BIG loophole there, but whatever...

And yeah, I did kinda want to see how Kara would react to Kryptonite. Apparently it just makes her indifferent.

[Mr.White]

She should have been in pain like Clark was considering the kryptonite was close enough to her for her to feel it. It only makes Clark look like a dunce that he can't take care of situations like these, but his cousin, new to Earth, can handle them better because of her aggressiveness. The show doesn't make Clark look good if Kara winds up being the hero and he becomes her assistant.

[SecretzNLyz15]

Question. Why oh why Clark, did you roll towards the green k instead of away? *wonders*....

[jesustlife]

Guys! Didn't you hear Jor-El? "Your training starts with Kara". Clark set everything up to test Kara. The two freaks were in on it too. It was all a test. The bad girl got the worst part though, that kick was un called for. Oh, and what the HELL? When has person ever sent and S.O.S., an bury it on a box? Isn't the idea of an S.O.S. to let people know you're in trouble??

She wasn't under the effect of the kryptonite when she zapped it. Most of the times when Clark's been trapped in a room with kryptonite, he was affected by its radiation. She was out of its range.

[XxKidMenuxX]

Clark= BDA

[Theshadow129x]

I laughed because i thought "typical. theres always kryptonite to when you get ready to fight somebody to make it look like you dont stand a chance"

This is the only thing that makes sense to me. I think the impurities of the kryptonite (the non-radioactive, rocky parts) caused it to break apart when it was heated). In Onyx, the kryptonite was pure like a gem, having no rocky parts. I was saying "Yes, yes, turn that sucker to black-k and release Kal-El" as I watched that scene only to be disappointed. Actually, I hope if Kal-El does show up, that it's during a season where Kara is not on the show and Clark and focus on training by learning how to defeat his Kal-El side.

Someone said that Kara used laser vision, but I don't think that's a power we'll see any Kryptonian getting or using on this show. It was definitely heat vision since the effect was the same. I would think laser vision would look more like a fine laser being shot out from Clark's/Kara's eyes (like the ones used on her ship).

It would have been smart for her to have used super breath in that scene. Every time they had a great opportunity to use superbreath this season, they never used it (like in Bizarro with all that dam water).

Totally agree to the super-breath stuff. It's the newest power, and should be used more often.

Got to disagree about the bad Clark/Kal-El coming back though. That part of the story should be done now, Clark is Kal-El, they should (if they bring it back) have Clark defeat bad Kal-El "within himself" (good open spot for MM). Clark has battled himself a few times now, lets see a redK Kara.... She can steal Clark's motorcycle, abduct Jimmy, elope, take him to a hotel and wear next to nothing....whoa....anyone just get deja vu?

[mistaguitarmasta]

i have ALWAYS wanted to see kryptonite get (successfully) heat-visioned! they did it back in the George Reeves series with their crappy special effects and i always wanted to see it happen on SV!!
