Kara and the Truth

[theWatcher]

Does anyone think Clark is in the wrong for not telling Kara about her true heritage, origin? If not, then pray tell why you think he is in the right.

I was thinking the same thing. If you remember in the episode Lionel suggested taking Kara to the Fotress to see if that could help her remember. Clark refused because last time he was there Jor-El imprisoned him. I think Clark is just being careful and doesn't really trust anyone right now

Clark can't really tell Kara now because she trusts Lex. Anything that Clark will tell her, she will go tell Lex now, which obviously Lex discovering Clark's secret can't and won't happen.

I think Clark is completely wrong for not telling Kara. First of all, he is losing her trust. Second of all, it will only push her closer to Lex, and third, by doing so it will allow Lex to get a little closer to the truth. This can all be avoided if he would just tell her the truth, after all, once she regains her memory she will remember how important her mission is and how she must guide Clark and of course would want to ditch Lex.

Agreed.
I thibnk Clark knows deep down that Kara trusts Lex more than him. Kara told Lex she was convinced Clark was hiding something from her, which he is. I just think he was being wary about sharing things with her, and prehaps hoping that small things might come back to her, but obviously they haven't.

I don't think Kara trusted Clark in the first place. As Lana mentioned to Clark and Lionel in the kitchen; Lex found Kara. He earnt her trust, and offered to "help" her get her memory back. She was basically thrown back into a "family" environment that she wasn't familiar with, and Clark is guarded with anybody, i think he was just being extra careful.
I doubt she'll stay with Lex that long. Next episode is Traveler, and we know Chloe takes her to the FOS and pleads with Jor-El.

Clark did want to tell Kara the truth it was Lionel and Lana who convinced him not to. Clark should have told her because it is her own orgin.

I think Clark should have told Kara the truth, but I can definitely understand his reticence(oh yes, reticence!). Kara trusts Lex more than Clark right now, & Clark definitely wouldn't want Kara to tell Lex; but the reason she trusts Lex more than Clark is because she knows Clark is keeping something from her & she thinks Lex is telling her the truth of what he knows (which of course he isn't) - it's all circular. Lex, Lionel, & Lana to an extent are all evil, Kara is deceived, Clark is doubtful, & no one knows whom to trust!
