This was close to being Superman

[galatians221]

We have Lois Lane landing a big scoop for the Daily Planet, we have her hot on the trail of Lex Luther and we have Clark Kent rescuing Lana from a tall building a little bit reminiscent of Superman catching Lois Lane after falling from the helicopter and of course we have references to Clark becoming Superman from the comic book freak as well as Lana and I believe the movie star said something like that also. She called him her superhero. If I didn't know better about Millar and Gough I'd almost say that they are heading quickly into evolving this show into Superman. Everyone will say "no flights no tights" but that was a prohibition against showing Superboy. He is a man and if he's at the Daily Planet and is away from Smallville then they have the legal right to do that. I just don't see how they can delay much longer.

i know, when i saw lana fall, i was waiting for ...

-Clark: I've got you.
-Lana: You've got me? Whose got you?

Absolutely. I just watched that three days ago. This was a great night for the cause of seeing Clark beginning to fulfill his destiny.

[Ardiem3]

I have a feeling that theyre aiming Season 7 to conclude in a way, in case there isnt a Season 8. Sounds and looks to me that Clark will not longer be Clark but Superman by Season 7's end. If there is a Season 8, Clark will land a job at the Daily Planet and therefore, develop his alter ego.

That makes sense. They could end S7 as you say and if there is a season 8 we know that Rosenbaum won't be back and I don't think Kruek is coming back so there isn't much left to do on the farm. They could have Clark emerging from the FOS having been there for years and Perry White has taken over as Editor and we're ready for Superman. If it works they can continue and if it doesn't they can fold it up after Season 8

[fxrsteve]

I totally agree, they can't delay much longer and it will be during the season, not the end

[Effect]

The question is if they go in that direction how they pull off showing Clark as Superman in the suit and everything?

I loved the scene in Superman Returns when Superman is floating above the Earth listening to the voices and when he hears the bank alarm he opens his eyes and takes off. Something similar to that would be great I think. However I think Martha NEEDS to be there the first time he dons the suit. It's only right I feel.

I wish they'd do it right and have the suit be a crystal generated superpower. He would have the ability to disguise himself instead of all of the unanswered questions about where does he keep his cape and his boots and does he have to go back and get his clothes when he's done? In the first Superman movie Chris Reeves falls out of the Daily Planet window and as he falls his suit just appears. He isn't spinning or doing anything; it just appears. There is no reason why his face cannot be disguised. We would still see Tom Welling but it would be understood that they aren't seeing what we're seeing.

No, I was asking you a simple question and yes, you did bring up violence last time as well.

Can I just say that I did like the cape reference too? :)

[simaozinho200]

this was a great connection good job

[Crispin Glover]

Love this thread. I couldn't agree more with these statements.

That would be sweet if Season 8 is developing Clark's alter ego.

I've always wanted the last scene of the series to be Clark running outside the Daily Planet and all we see is a close up of him ripping open his shirt and revealing the suit. Maybe him shoot up into the air and then close with credits.

[uhhuhhim]

^^^ I always thought they might end it like that. Plus, Tom wouldn't have to wear the full costume, just the top half, much like a shirt.

I've always wanted to recreate the Chris Reeve scene, one of my favorites in movie history when he emerges from the FOS and has the suit on for the first time and flies towards the camera and smiles as he passes by. End of series. Except I'd love to see Smallville morph into Metropolis and keep it going as Superman.

[SteveS]

I am one of those who thinks that this season may well be the last and that TPTB and lining things up quickly, so this episode felt very Superman-like, thats why I watched ClarkMan fly down to save Lana 4 times already.

lois was merely incidental.

[adromidon]

Clark technicaly did not fly but yeah that was a food scene

[SteveS]

food, what food? Warrior Angle's food cake?

[adromidon]

opps typo food=good

What I really want to know is in that last scene where Clark catches Lana mid fall and lands on a car. Does the car owner have a Superman Clause in their auto insurance to cover them against aliens landing hard and crushing their car while saving their girlfriend with no regard to others property?

NO! Otherwise that would have pissed other viwers off who hate Clana, and it might have made them stop watching the show forever. Any way, they should have had a scene like that in the Warrior Angel movie, and Clark should have laughed.

[galatians221]

No, DC comics legally would not let Smallville show Clark in tights flying because of a legal issue with the Superboy character. He is no longer a boy so that legal problem shouldn't apply. If it is still an issue I'd hope that they could morph the show into a new one called "Metropolis" and go for another seven years.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

It's not just the legal thing with Superboy. TW said he never wants to wear the suit.

That can change. You just don't go out and find a hit show to start in and I doubt that Hollywood is clamoring for his services as a movie star. I like him but if this series could morph into a Superman series Tom would be in a position to ask for ownership, script control and a movie deal on the side. He and his family would be financially set for life if they aren't already and he would still be young enough to have his career continue after this series.

I just watched it for the third time and it's amazing how hard they seem to be pushing for Clark to become Superman. Ben, Lana and Chole all told him he must go save the world. Lana basically told him that she won't stay with him because he needs to go and then we have the flying scene and the red cape at the end. I mean you don't have to be Fellini to get the messages. Let's hope they keep this up and not go back to blueberry pancakes and Clark working on the tractor next week.

I think that they are setting themselves up perfectly. They end Season 7 with Clark having completed his training and they recreate the Chris Reeve scene of appearing outside the FOS in his suit and flying towards the screen and smiling at the camera as he flies by. If there is no Season 8 then that is the series finale and if there is a Season 8 it will be without Lex and without Lana and Lionel and it will be ten years later and Lois is the star reporter of the Daily Planet and they try Superman for one season to see how it goes. They cannot stay in Smallville after this season since Michael Rosenbaum is leaving and Lana has run it's course ang both Lois and Chloe are at the Planet already. It's time to move on.

[theWatcher]

I have to admit that I liked the ending scene in which we see the red cape moving with the breeze. It is kind of iconic in my view. All the hints towards his destiny was absolutely refreshing, giving me hope that he will soon start developing into the hero of legened. What a great episode!

Agreed and it is causing me to think just what it will be that will push Clark finally to that end. It may be Oliver's return as he was all over Clark and was the first one to tell him that he needs to get out of Smallville and save a dying world. After "Action" it is hard for me to imagine that they are going to delay this much longer.

[Wendell]

But it almost felt to me that Clark was rejecting the cape by leaving it on the fence. I know it was probably put there just for the visual impact, but it still gave me the feeling that Clark still doesn't want to go in that direction (consistent with his insistence to Lana that she is not standing in his way and that he doesn't want to leave Smallville). It feels like the path is almost completely laid out for him, but he still is resisting walking (or flying) down it.

As for next season being set at the Daily Planet, if they did that they would have to solve the problem with the glasses. I can't see Clark Kent working at the DP without the "disguise".

I think Clark was once again walking away from his destiny and back into Lana's arms. That was the picture. Regarding the glasses, they can get around that a couple of ways. Perhaps the greatest thing about Smallville is what Chloe said in the arctic hospital; that Clark saves people daily and wants no credit for it. They can have Clark saving people without them seeing him. My preference however is for Clark to have an ability to disguise himself as a crystal generated power. Watch Chris Reeves in Superman one falling out of the window of the DP and his suit just magically appears; he changes no clothes. Why can't his face be disguised as part of his powers? Lastly, just as Chloe went from being my most hated character to perhaps my favorite when she discovered Clark's abilities, Lois doesn't have to be stupid about it. She could know and not let on just as Chloe did. They can make it work.

[adromidon]

yeah those are all good points

I'm talking about Welling not wanting to play Superman because it will impair his acting career. It's tough to find a hit series and he's in one now and ought to maximize it's financial and career success. He has never been in a successful movie as a star and he may never become a movie star so he ought to be more open to maximizing his role as Superman on TV. I think he's a wonderful actor and I'm not knocking him; I just think he has a good thing going and ought to make the most of it.

[uhhuhhim]

"No flights, no tights." That's what Smallville is. If Tom doesn't want to do it, that's his own discretion, but the producers have always had that rule. That still is the rule. Clark has never "flown," only super-jumped. I would actually like to see TW in a powerful drama someday or even directing a movie he's written. Generally, though, you are right; it is hard to break out of a TV role, but I think he can do it.

[HowardFilms]

Clark has flown, multiple times.

Anyway, galataians221, I re-read your post, and I'm still pretty sure you said he'd be in a spot to demand a superman movie that he'd star in. Unless you happen to be speaking in some dialect of English I've never heard of.

That was because of the Superboy lawsuit. They can suit him up now since he's a man. I mentioned this earlier and another poster said that Tom doesn't want to play Superman and I responded that it would be wise for him to change his mind. Why not continue the series into a new one called Metropolis? Smallville is the #1 rated show on CW and the writers are constantly stating that it's time for Clark to fulfill his destiny. If this is the last season then I see what's going on but if they want an 8th season they can't keep dragging this out any longer and it doesn't seem that they intend to. Action was all about Clark moving on with over 7 references to him moving on and saving the world. The cape at the end was a screaming message that Clark is right now more interested in Lana than he is in fulfilling his destiny. Oliver is going to give him a very hard time about this. They can't keep him on the farm eating pancakes for an 8th season.

No, what I said or meant was that if Tom is concerned about typecasting he could ask for a piece of the new show which would make him fabulously wealthy and in addition have a clause that allowed him to do a couple of movies each year so he can avoid typecasting. He can have his hit show, financial security and a movie career. They can't continue the show without him so he is in the drivers seat. Walking away from Smallville or Metropois because he doesn't want to play Superman would be a mistake imho. They should continue the show with him as Superman and change the name of the show to Metropolis.

[Mello Penelo]

The show should have turned into Metropolis at the end of the fourth season. Clark could have been in college with Lois and Chloe. Lana could have been off doing her thing (too bad not off the show). And Clark could run home for a weekly dinner with his parents and talk to them on the phone about growing up problems. I mean, he's not changed at all since high school. The only difference is he isn't in school anymore.

[HowardFilms]

Yeah, college kind of...disappeared...for everyone. They've been skipping class for years, lol.

He already is wealthy. I'm sure the cast makes a pretty good buck even though it's the CW. Not only that, but he does have a movie career, but it's always in the backseat because the only time he can shoot movies is during the hiatus. I'm sure he's gotten more scripts, but maybe he decided he didn't like the projects that were sent to him? As for the comment about him not wanting to play Superman, isn't that what he was doing? Plus, he's stated in interviews that he wasn't sure what the show was going to be and that he didn't want to wear the costume as well as the lawsuit that was going on. I'm sure he would probably say the same thing if they asked him to put on the suit. Remember the Thirst episode where he had to dress like Zorro? It didn't seem like he enjoyed that either. I'm not saying we can't see a glimpse of the costume from behind a shirt, but he doesn't want to wear the suit.

They are continuing the show and they can't change the name of it. LOL.

It isn't about Smallville any more. Chloe and Lois are both in Metropolis and Clark is there half the time unless he's goo gooing over Lana in the loft. The part that is in Smallville is inane. He can only save his four friends so many times. I mean who is in the lead for being unconscious and in Smallville hospital? I'll go with Lex but Lana is a close second. They've worn Smallville out and it's time to go on to Metropolis.

[HiroofTime]

Thats exactly right, if he became a Superhero now, he'd not be Superboy, he'd be Superman. So maybed they are fasttracking him.

The owner, who should have car insurance by law, will be covered other than the deductible due to malicious vandalism, even if there was no vandalism and the accident was not malicious.

lol I just thought it would be funny to see a geico comercial about it

Announcer: This man had a alien land on his car crushing it to bits. (show the clip of Clark landing) But he went with a small company to save money now Bob is left paying for his damages. If he had Geico we would have covered him even if the aliens whole planet came and vaporized his car. Geico we cover anything!

I think not showing Clark do the real portion of his training (not this "watch over Kara" stuff) will be the biggest mistake they can make. I want to see Clark be developed from the guy who takes on everyday freaks and barely survives the occasional alien to the guy who can handle the aliens and protect the world from the great dangers of tomorrow (i.e. Doomsday).

They also haven't done a damn thing about the Eradicator yet.

The big question I've had is when will they announce that there will/won't be a season 8? Or in other words, when will they announce that episode 22 of this season is the series finale (if there is no season 8)? I would hope they know from advance so they can properly write the show and not bring it to conclusion too fast if there will be a season 8 or not slow it down too much if this is the last season.

However Michael Rosenbaum is leaving after this season and I've read that Kristen Keurk is also. That's fine as they are Smallville characters and the action in season 8 would be in Metropolis. Clark needs to get off of the farm and start working at the DP.

I think as of now, Clark working at the DP would not make any sense, even though that is his destiny. They have done such little developing of Clark's interest in journalism since season 3 that I'm afraid it's going to be a lightswitch.

I really want Perry to be involved with Clark getting a job there. I want them to remember what Perry White said at the end of Perry about Clark looking him up. What would really be nice is if Clark goes back to Central Kansas and Perry is an adjunct professor there and the 2 of them (Clark would be his research assistant) would publish a story that would get them both into the DP.

[SecretzNLyz15]

Doesn't Clark go into Journalism to know about all emergencies right when they happen? An advantage for his Superman identity?

[xrayvision]

I'd say so. Pretty much the same reason why Baern went to the DP to find Clark.

It would have been wise to have him train this season like I've been saying and to have saved Kara for next season where he could have met her while working on a story for an article for one of his college classes. That would have been smart.

Chris Reeve's character flew right from the FOS to the DP and just typed real fast.

[adromidon]

lol yeah I remember that he was typing like 2000000 words aminute

but there has to be a reason he choose journalism I think it is because everything ends up at the papers

[HalJordan4184]

Pre Crisis, when the character debuted, the newspaper was the the first to get the stories, as there weren't tv news broadcasts yet. In the seventies, Clark Kent even became a TV news journalist, to better keep up.

However, post crisis, Clark is a journalist, and writer, because he likes those jobs, and he's interested in it. In today's age, the newspapers are the last to know of emergencies. CLark is a reporter, because he wants to be.

Right, just goo goo eyes. She didn't even scream when pushed over the wall. I guess we're to expect that she knew Clark would save her. The eskimo kiss was chock full of passion.

[adromidon]

Yeah that would have sucked if Clark had gotten there a little to late to save her

[jack1487]

For myself I think that they need to show him going thru his training during Season 8. They could show him in the FOS and then start doing his world travels.

That way he could be seen doing all kinds of rescues and helping out and it would follow the comics. Also they need to get him some glasses to wear.

Then end the show after Season 8 make it the last thing we see is him going into the Daily Planet. But I have to agree with all of you that Martha needs to be included and also make it a 90 minute show. That way we could get closer.


Take Care,

Jack

Wrong... It would be stupid of her to say that and a slap in the facve by the writers to include that. Think about it. In Superman: The Movie (all bow to Christopher Reeve), Lois Lane had no idea who or what Superman was. Did not have the slightest inclination to his abilities.

Lana in Smallville knows. She knows his abilities so it would be really stupid of her to say that. Then again, Lana on this show is not the brightest crayon in the box so maybe it would suit her...

She was either too stupid to scream when pushed off of the building or was confident that Clark would save her. I think it was the former.

[operadiva]

How could she know Clark was going to save her ..she had no idea...i have watched the scene 3 times now..her back is turned ..she cannot see anything going down...she only saw him when he grabbed her going down...hence..it was stupid for her not to scream...i think i would be saying something more along the lines off@#$..if it was any normal person

[All about Clark]

Not everyone screams on roller coasters so I would guess not everyone screams from a fall to the death, as Lana would believe before seeing Clark. I personally never scream and don't feel it would be any different for me than it was for Lana.

She now knows that Clark has saved her umpteen times and mentioned that when showing the newspaper to Clark about him saving the bimbo. If that wasn't what was in her mind it's hard to fathom someone plunging to certain death and just lying on her back like she's in a pool lounging on a raft looking at cloud formations.

lol yeah but Clark said he would do everything in his power to make sure she was never hurt. Now for Clark those are powerful words
