Yeah, don't thank Chloe for saving you AGAIN, BDA!

[Welling_is_pretty]

Ok, so after Chloe did her whole thing of the speech to Jor-El and getting Kara back and basically saving Clark's bacon again does he thank her?

Ok, I know it might have happened off camera but it would have been nice to see. Sometimes I think Chloe's the real hero of this show, not Clark. She risks everything to take Kara up there, she faces Jor-El--no small thing--and Clark, once again does NOT say thanks (he has a bad habit of this).

It really steams my clams, you know?

Anyone else feel this way?

[skizzo]

and thank Lana too. Without the maps with the secret exits/entrances, Kara wouldnt have even left the mansion.
I kinda noticed how he didnt thank them, I guess it happened offscreen

[Lostfan588]

Well, I am really glad that Kara didn't take all the credit for the save. We don't really know whether she even remember the Chloe fortress speech, do we? But I think considering what was said in the fortress, it's better Clark not know right now. But I'm sure we'll get some great Chlark scenes in the upcoming episodes.

[Yankeefan]

no one ever says thanku in this show... clark has saved everybody numerous times and no one ever says thanks , it probably happens on offscreenville....and this episode had to much to show

[Lostfan588]

Well, I liked Chloe's whispered "thank you" to Clark in Noir when he saves her...

[aqgalaxy]

Well to be fair, after knowing Clark was kidnapped, Chloe and Lana didn't rush to see Clark either, so I guess it all evens out.

[skizzo]

Because only Kara could save him, they had to restore her memory. If both of them had gone to see Clark they'd probably be locked up somewhere

[BadToad]

No, I see absolutely no reason to feel this way. Sometimes I think people just go looking for something to hate on.

Obviously we did not see every second of what Clark did since he came back. I can see being ticked off that the show didn't include Clana and Chlark reunion scenes, but do you really believe that if you didn't see it on screen then it means it didn't happen? Do you suppose that the only things happening in any of these characters lives is what takes place on screen, and nothing else?

Personally, I've seen Clark compliment Chloe plenty of times. Apparently I get a different feed?

And BTW, did you rail on Chloe in Cure when Clark comes into the lab, and prevents Knox from cutting her heart out, and yet we never got a scene of Chloe thanking Clark for the save? Even if you didn't see it, did you doubt that it took place?

Yeesh! :rolleyes:

[harryandginnyfanatic]

He must've been too busy thanking Lana for just being Lana. :lol:

Clark: When I was in that cage the only thing that kept me going was the thought of coming back to you. Kara told me what you did. Risking to go to the mansion like that. I don't know what I'd do without you Lana.

[BadToad]

He must've been too busy thanking Lana for just being Lana.

And yet we saw nothing of the kind.

So, lets sum up...we didn't see him thanking Chloe, so he's horrible and not grateful.

We didn't see him thanking Lana, but he must've done that and it took up all his time.

Of course.

[Lostfan588]

Well it didn't bother me that much, but now that you mentioned it, after Clark's life was saved and all, he just goes straight home to nail up the barn? Why? HAHAHA...

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Most logical explanation: They needed a scene for Kara and Clark to reconnect again and talk about Lex and Lionel.

That scene made the cut.

[Welling_is_pretty]

Yeesh! :rolleyes:
wow. Such venom.

I loved this episode, actually, there were just a few things that bothered me and this was one of them. The fact that Clark hardly ever thanks those who save him, especially Chloe. Yeah, he compliments her all the time but he hardly ever thanks her.
No, I didn't rail on Chloe in Cute because what Clark did was typical Clark stuf and not something extraordinary like what I felt Chloe did in this episode. She showed real guts and went above and beyond (in my opinion) this time and so deserved special thanks and/or notice.

And like I said in my Original Post (you must have missed this part)--I figure the thank you took place off screen (before or after the Kara&Clark loft scene) but it would have been nice to see it onscreen.

[lastdaughterofkrypton]

Poor Clark, the man was trapped on kryptonite cage and people still give him a hard time. I love Chloe but I don't think that everytime we don't see him saying thank you or noticing small things he is being an a*s :rolleyes:

[BadToad]

And like I said in my Original Post (you must have missed this part)--I figure the thank you took place off screen (before or after the Kara&Clark loft scene) but it would have been nice to see it onscreen.

You title a thread accusing Clark of not thanking Chloe (something you then admit probably happened, and wasn't shown), and throw in the ever lovely BDA title, and you accuse me of venom?

If you were just ticked that they didn't show a scene like that, why didn't you just say "Hey, did anyone feel like this episode could've used this scene?" No, instead lets condemn Clark and insult him, even though what we're really saying is that the show just probably didn't have the time to do all the scenes we would've liked to have seen.

I would've liked a Chlark reunion scene, and a Clana reunion scene, and I would've liked to see Chloe, Lana and Kara plan the rescue, and I would've liked to see Kara telling Lex she was moving out, and I would've liked to see Chloe and Lana going through those tunnels.

Just because I didn't see any of those scenes, I don't doubt they took place.

Or, I'm not condemning Chloe and Lana and saying "Hey, this guy just got kidnapped, and tortured, and found out he'd been betrayed, why aren't they spending a little more time taking care of him? Making sure he's alright, not just physically". And yet, we didn't see any of that.

There are a lot of things that take place on Offscreensville, and sure, it would be nice to see them. But I guess I just don't understand why one would jump to the worst possible conclusion ("Clark sucks, he didn't thank Chloe!") instead of just saying, Wow, would've been nice to see that on screen.

[skizzo]

Of course.

Nothing that we wouldnt expect knowing the people on this forum...

[MidgardDragon]

A-fricking-men.

Agreed.

I must get your exclusive feed too.

[Chloe_is_my_Hero]

You guys are intense. Goodness. Opinion expression is good though. It never even crossed my mind that Clark did not thank the girls. They are all very close friends and friends just do these things for each other without the necessity of a thank you. There are many time that the thank you in understood. I am sure he did thank them in Offscreensville or whatever it is that it is called.

[SeaNymph]

I might have liked a scene with him thanking both Chloe AND Lana...but who knows what was said offscreen? I'm sure he did thank them at some point.

[MidgardDragon]

The simple fact is they had too many scenes that they needed to wrap things up. Not having a Chloe and Lana thanks scene enabled them to give us a long Clark and Patricia scene (or perhaps a long Lionel and Clark scene, or whatever having a Chloe and Lana scene would have taken out).

[luvinChlark]

We probably would have gotten an extra scene, but there just wasn't enough time in the last 10 minutes...

[shirkie]

Chloe is perpetually ignored. Boo!

[Kel-El09]

so according to your avatar..you've met am??

[Nerial]

I just assumed it was done off screen.

I've seen Clark save Lana and Chloe plenty of times, and receive no gratitude.

Specifically when they didn't know Clark's secret, the only time that we saw them reacting to his save would be with suspicion about a secret they knew he was keeping from them.

[go_clo]

Ya I hate how Clark never thanks Chloe! Chloe has saved him countless times and almost got herself killed almost all of those times but he never seems to realize what a heroic act it was of her, even if it would have been easy for him to do it for her. The only time he ever seems to realize she deserves a good "thank you" or some form of compliment is either when she tells him off or if he thinks he just almost lost her! :rolleyes:

I don't know why the writers write Clark like that! It's annoying!
It's possible all the thanking happened offscreen but why make it an offscreen scene?! Those kinda scenes are always the best and they always cut them. I would have loved to see him thanks Chloe and Lana for what they did! I'm sure they could have crammed something quick in there or cut something out to fit it. :\

[litew8]

"you know?"

I don't know. I'm not sure.

What do steamed clams feel like? :lol:

[chlo-el]

I wanted a scene where he thanks both girls.(Well where he thanked Chloe but both girls did help) But that doesn't mean Clark hasn't ever thanked them before. Clark has thanked Chloe plenty of times. He thanked her in Splinter S5 for covering for him, he thanked her in Solitude for saving him from Milton fine, and I'm sure there is more. And Clark thanked Lana for faking her death and protecting him in Feirce.

[lastdaughterofkrypton]

Oh come on guys if everybody ever saved on this show were shown thanking we will have half and hour only for that. Clark is the future Superman not the future Thankyou man! :)

[The Great Ymmij]

Well, we saw Pete thank Clark last week for saving him.

[MeKa]

I think a scene where Clark and Chloe sit down for a heart to heart after the FOS-I love your son scene would have been too much Chlark exposure. Remember tptb dish it out in bits and pieces. This is a bit. Let's wait for next week's piece. :-)

[Blichew]

I just assumed it was done off screen.

I've seen Clark save Lana and Chloe plenty of times, and receive no gratitude.



Ehm, he's future Superman, it's his job to save people without waiting for thanks :lol:

But saving Clark is something way bigger thing than being saved by him ;)
Even as we didn't have any Chlark conversation this week, I'd still like to see at least one minute talk about this in future episodes (which probably won't happen, because TPTB simply don't like their characters to talk about previous events), where Chloe says something more than her line in 6x01 ("Clark, it was the end of the world, I don't expect us to hook up now..." -or smth like that;) ). This time Clark could answer something to this, instead of doing one of his I-don't-know-what-to-say smiles ;)

So no, I'm not waiting for a "thank you" scene, I'd just like to see at least a little talk about what happened in the FoS (which could be hard to explain because as far as we know Kara didn't remember any of FoS thing, Chloe won't rush to Clark to say him about her little speech and Jor-El isn't this type of father...;) )

[wolverine316]

Wow are you guys annoying. I guess a few eps ago, Clark didn't thank her when she risked her life to bring back Lex from the dead with Clark still in his mind. Actually he said what she did goes beyond friendship. I guess a few eps ago when Chloe kept the beacon so that Clark can find Dax, his exact words were "you saved me again Chloe". Clark has thanked Chloe many times but some of you are too dense with your Clark hatred to pay attention.

[Chloe_is_my_Hero]

Can't we all just get along? No...but really it's all in actions and not merely words. We all KNOW that Clark is thankful for Chloe.

[Nerial]

I like those 'thank you' scenes, too. Don't get me wrong; I just believe that if they did all of them on-screen, it would end up feeling a bit repetitive after awhile and take up episode time the writers don't have.

But, yeah, I think it would be nice to see. I just don't think Clark deserves the BDA remark because of something we could just assume happened off screen.

[berniepooh]

Why do people tend to forget Pete's actions? He just thanked Clark in the previous week's epi for saving him.

[Sweetie]

I don't see what the big deal is here.So,they should do a thank you scene in every time she saved him to please you guys.Use your imagination and just presume that he did it off screen that's all.

[Blichew]

I guess that the topic is not about this particular thank-you scene. It's just that the majority of Chloe & Clark scenes are very enjoyable and fun to watch, am I right ;) ? Even those, who don't like this "couple", can't say 'no' here :)

[All about Clark]

I agree, they have to focus on what is important story elements.

BadToad is right, the thank you would have been offscreen and people just want to look for something to find wrong. Not to mention that Clark is always thankful and appreciative to Chloe. She got her thank you and I don't believe we needed to see it.

Got my agreement there. Obliviously some people would have like to see the extra scene of Clark thanking the girls but it would have not been as important as seeing what happened to Patricia Swann, hearing Lionel explanation on his role in the construction of the cage and on Kara thoughts on the events in the past days. Even if they did fit it in, it would have been very short and disappointing for the shippers.
Beside there is always the next episode which appeared to be tied to "Traveler" judging by it's title. There is enough lose ends of what happened in Traveler to go over to Veritas, so they might slot in a "thank you" there.
This show is not about social etiquette, it's about Superman and hot girls!

[Welling_is_pretty]

Wow, i'm sorry I ever started this thread!

I have to admit I was angry and was sarcastic in choosing my title for the thread (maybe I should have gone with the "it would have been nice to see this scene onscreen" instead but did i mention I was kinda angry and so not thinking clearly?). I am not a Clark hater, in fact he is my favorite character on the show.

I simply felt the need to vent about something I didn't like and so I gave my opinion about it. Obviously many of you disagree.

Let's leave it at that.
