"can you fly?"

[erikamichelle614]

i wanted to hit him.

[Freekzilla120]

Same here

[mistaguitarmasta]

what? why would you want to hit jimmy? i didn't think it sounded at all silly, stupid, or forced that the very first thought jimmy had when he heard that she had a meteor power was flight. i mean seriously, he's seen so many flying meteor freaks in the short time he's been on the show right? it just seems natural that flight would be his first thought. kind of a pavlovian mental association. yeah. not stupid at all.

i don't know, it reminds me of a trailer i saw for a new movie, i forgot what its called but its based on a book. The kid is learning about some powers or something, and he says, wait.. can i fly? and the other guy was like.. 'dork'.

it just seems a little silly.

I think Jimmy's line is just a throw back to Chloe's in "Rush". When she was drugged she asked Clark "Can you fly?"

[kp1984]

I remember when Chole ask Clark if he could fly. Clark said i'm not a cartoon

[mistaguitarmasta]

Here's the thing. Whether we're talking about "Rush" or "Gemini", it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense for people to ask their superpowered friends if they can fly. Think about it. Superman was the first superhero, right? Well if he was the first superhero, he would also have to be the first FLYING superhero by default. When you think about superheroes, you probably think about strength, flight, and other powers associated with superheroes you've seen and heard of. But Superman doesn't exist (yet) in the SV Universe, right? Therefore, wouldn't it be a bit silly for people to go around asking each other "Can you fly?" if they don't have any superhero to be influenced by?

If no one has seen or heard of Superman, how can they immediately ask "Can you fly?" when they hear that someone has a superpower? Why that particular power and why is it always the FIRST question? Just doesn't make sense to me.

It's a TV show, it was meant as a cute joke, not as realism.

[ClarkyBoy14]

Can't Warrior Angel, the equivalent of SM, fly?

[ginnyfan]

I thought it was cute. LOL!

Yes Warrior Angel can fly. Though it would be funny if he had huge wings and couldn't fly. heeheehee

No actually it wouldn't be funny.

[Odysseus]

I thought the line was pretty funny.

yeah, i know...i'll admit i chuckled when he said it, but little inaccuracies like that still tend to bother me....im a perfectionist like that....sort of a mild OCD

[ClarkyBoy14]

But it wasn't an inaccuracy...

Just doesn't make sense to me. Warrior Angel is the comicbook icon in Smallville's reality and he's known for flying. Warrior Angel is pretty much their Superman.

im sure in the smallville world people created the ideas of superheroes. chloe did call clark a superhero. lol

[UpandAtom]

but superhero was named after superman so how do you explain that?

[Iluvgreen]

I thought it was funny.

[Jephael]

Hey, lets not forget there have been other well known mythological characters besides Superman who had the power to fly.

When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back;
Three from the circle, three from the track;
Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone;
Five will return, and one go alone.

Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long;
Wood from the burning, stone out of song;
Fire in the candle-ring, water from the thaw;
Six Signs the circle, and the grail gone before.

Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old;
Power from the green witch, lost beneath the sea;
All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.




I think you are refering to "The Seeker"...It's based on a Susan Cooper novel called "The Dark Is Rising"...It is one of five books in a series...

I read it in the sixth grade for a literary competition...My school didn't win, but it TRULY is THE book that sent me to "The Hobbit" and "Lord Of The Rings"..."Chronicles of Narnia"...Until then, I was a Star Wars, J.I. Joe, Superman kind of kid... I recomend it to everybody...:D I haven't looked at crows/rooks the same way since ...

Oh, and having said all of that........I'm afraid the movie just comes up about a million miles short of what it could have been...So utterly miscast its painfull...as usual, the special effects are great...
