Serousily, like I wish Lana could have turned into a motivating factor at least for him to FINALLY do something constructive. This is just reinforcing the fact that he doesnt seem to want to help out more then protect the people he loves. He could have done something great and after lana got hurt like at least fly off after Kara and brainiac. I mean common Kara seemed more willing to go off and help lana then clark did. If hurting lana didnt motivate clark what will?

When he was just standing on that roof and watching as Kara and Brainiac flew away, I thought "what a fool!"

Even that look Brainiac gave him before he flew upward said it all. I half expected him to mock Clark for being earthbound.

Something tells me many of the major scenes were cut, many moved to Descent, and the flying saved for Apocalypse.

I have to say, with the Boom Tube, I think Darkseid is becoming more and more likely!!!

He decided not to :rotfl:

Simple as that really, he thought it was a waste of time because he doesn't have the ability yet.

MidgardDragon

He could have jumped at least, to prove that he had the ability to get up in the air to catch someone that flies off. This DOES give The CW a good excuse for why they didn't air a flying trailer, though.

I don't really blame him, in a sense. All his other abilities just happened randomly. Super speed, we're told he sped off into the forest one time randomly.

X-ray vision, heat vision, hearing, super breath - he didn't exactly channel these. They just sort of hit him. Maybe he expects it will be the same with flight? I'm reminded of the scene in Superman Returns when he's about to hit the ground as a kid and he just floats there, shielding his head.

Who knows what angle they plan to take.

Um, the CW and Rogers suck. The Rogers description CLEARLY says "Kara teaches Clark how to fly".... where WAS THE FLYING!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad that episode was NOT the finale, because for a finale, it sucked.

in theoretical terms she does but she isn't a very practical teacher nor is clark a willing student.... sounds just like my old school math's lessons haha :lol:

lastwords

03-26-2008, 08:22 PM

Well Clark was not exactaly a paitent teacher when he was trying to teach Kara head vision, but she tried for him at least. I will admit that she ended up using her powers with percision when Clark was in trouble but that moment in the show should have been when Kara and brainiac took off from the roof....

Learning on his own...umm, that will be very difficult for this slowa$$ farmboy, I mean c'mon, how hard is flying? Just do the pose, lift off from your feet and push as hard as u can off against the ground and just let your body blast off to the sky, how hard would that be lol?

So, If Clark had attempted to fly with Kara in the barn, instead of saying it was a "watse of time," he could of taken off right after Brainiac and Kara and got to wherever they went to. Granted, he may of not of wanted to destroy him before Lana returned back to normal, but him just standing there as they took off seemed kind of weak IMO. He's better than that. He couldve at least of attempted to super jump to grab onto Brainiac but nothing... OTOH, the shot of Brainiac and Kara in space was excellent so that made up for it, in a way...

Alexander III

WookieeBoy

03-27-2008, 07:50 PM

Yes, I thought the whole scene where she wanted to teach him to fly but he wimped out was really lame. Every episode that goes by where he still doesn't fly just makes it that much lamer. When/If he ever does fly in the show, it will probably quite anticlimactic.

MidgardDragon

03-27-2008, 07:53 PM

And yet...the actual promo never even hinted that he would fly. Blame Space Channel for airing their promo. It was probably a promo that was meant to be used for the season finale version before they re-edited it, where he probably would have flown.

curiosity

03-27-2008, 07:53 PM

Maybe they went in and took that part out because the writer's strike was over.

HalJordan4184

03-27-2008, 07:59 PM

I think that was incredibly lame, and i don't even get Clark's reasoning. It's a waste of time to learn to fly, because we need to locate Brainiac... who can fly, and might not even be on earth, but in orbit or something somewhere. Therefore, in Clark's mind, that somehow makes it more pressing to find Brainiac, and then try to master his superpowers, which he will need to defeat Brainiac, AFTER they locate him.

Isn't the point to be prepared BEFORE the fight, adn not try to learn what your doing as your getting your butt handed to you?

I was really disappointed...I was like "what?" didn't AlMiles say it would be more like falling lessons with Kara...and now that Kara's gone it will never happen, unless Clark does it on his own and more likely we won't see that till the season finale this season.

I think it was kind of false advertising...lol

boywithbluehanger

03-27-2008, 08:41 PM

I wasn't surprised that he didn't fly. Thats a HUGE deal for the show...like I posted in another thread today. You'll know when he's going to fly. That's something that WILL be advertised.

And seriously...call me out on it if I'm wrong! I'll personally go to everyones house and and bring steaks and tater tots! If you're a vegetarian I'll bring a parfait and some broccoli!

ClarkSupportsOrganic

03-27-2008, 08:44 PM

That's a typical misleading advertisement on the part of the CW. And another potentially cool moment that didn't come to be a la the Chloe and Clark kiss at the end of season 5. (Not that they should be together forever- just that it was built up and nothing happened).

I wouldn't fault Clark for the non-jump though. I feel like Smallville had its budget slashed this year. No Xray vision, no super hearing, no super breath, no heat vision, just super strong and fast. Either that or lazy writing... I dunno.

MrZeppo

03-27-2008, 10:15 PM

Since this was the "proposed" season finale, I think any flying was probably cut out and the episode was retooled to it's current state. How epic would it have been if Clark not only flew, but took off for the first time from the top of the Daily Planet building?

I actually made a bet with a co-worker that Clark would back out, guess he owes me a cup of coffee now. :(

Well, here's hoping for some flying in the season finale... Still sucks tho, I agree, very lame.

ForzaItalia

Starting from the opening shot of the bird, the whole episode seemed like it was leading up to showing us Clark fly for the first time. I was 100% sure the episode would end with Clark flying in the final second and the words “To Be Continued.” But no.

Are Al & Miles trying to insult our intelligence? This getting offensive by now… Kara, Bizarro, Jor-el can fly after being on Earth for about 2 seconds, but Clark can’t fly after 18 years? How are we suppose to believe this guy goes on to become Superman?

After next episode, you can add Lionel to that list as well. It seems he flies out the window of the Luthorcorp building. Odds are tho, he hasn't perfected the landing.:lol:

I agree with MidgardDragon. This was an edited and re-shot episode, as we all know. In the original cut, he probably did learn to fly and he probably flew off after Brainiac and Kara into that "worm hole" as the cliffhanger in the finale, which would have been pretty ballsy!

haha...agreed. I'm betting Clark is either gonna catch Lionel or he's going to grab onto something and Clark sweeps in to save the day. I assume Lionel, if he's the one who dies...maybe will die another way. Idk...he probably dies at the hands of Lex though.

No way they would show the death of Lionel in a trailer, if they can't give us a better description of Veritas about Kara teaching Clark to fly! lol...

I'm with you there. They might as well reintroduce Martha into the show with the power of flight.

Maybe all the humans can start flying in the show so Clark will actually try to as well since he so desperately wants to be human. You'd think he would've learned his lesson after Mortal/Hidden.

I'm almost jaded enough to believe right now that the whole Kara/Brainiac space scene was some type of diversion to make us forget the fact that Clark stood on that roof like a tool with no idea how to follow them. :p

I was expecting Clark to fly after Braniac as a hidden ace in the hole between the krypto cousins. But tonight just goes on to prove my theroy that Clark only can use one and a half percent of his brain the other 98 and a half has been irreparably damaged by 7 years of kryptonite exposure and random kidnappings from Jor-El

Cogito17

03-28-2008, 12:02 AM

I don't have a problem with him not flying. But, they kinda had a mini-cliffhanger where they went to commercial break after Kara hinted at him flying. Then, they had a scene where he was going to try, only to show him back away. They seemed to hint at flying/trying to learn to fly, only to have Clark shy away when it came time to try. I guess it shows that at least he is thinking about it, but the whole issue of Clark flying didn't really seem to go anywhere.

I wouldn't say I am disappointed he didn't fly (I mean, its been 7 seasons without Clark technically flying). I just think its odd to bring it up without any intention of actually doing anything with it. Maybe if this had been the finale as planned, more would have happened.

Those were actually jumps but he can fly

He flew subconsly but crashed when he woke up.

He also flew in the tornado to save Lana. So all the flying lessons had to be was Kara taking Lana up high and waiting for Clark to get her.

03-28-2008, 12:53 AM

I felt cheated... so cheated. It was talked about so much that Kara was going to teach him how to fly. Clark didn't even do anything!! HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY!!! That hurt the most. I would have accepted him jumping out the window, going a few feet forward and then crashing into the ground.

faz

03-28-2008, 01:06 AM

Let's be honest, there's no way he was going to fly. But at least he could have put a LITTLE effort into trying to figure it out instead of some lame excuse about how he should be trying to find Brainiac instead of learning an ability he doesn't have yet (even though he's flown several times in previous seasons, or at least hovered).

maryjanewatson

03-28-2008, 03:08 AM

While I'm not someone who NEEDS Clark to fly, it is getting pretty ridiculous, as far as the story goes. like someone said earlier, all these other kryptonians who were only on the earth for for a couple of days can fly right away, but Clark, who had lived on earth most of his life, can't.

Well, actually, he can. We know he has the ability, he just doesn't know how to harness it. For example, he was CLEARLY floating in the 2nd episode of the series. So we know he can defy gravity, he just doesn't know how. Also, when he was kal-el in the premier of the 4th season, while it was kal-el flying, he was using Clark's body. So we know Clark's body can fly, Clark, as I've said, just doesn't know how to do it.

I can kind of understand him not wanting to try to fly on any given day, being afraid of heights and all, but what was frustrating about this episode was that given the seriousness of the situation, he didn't even want to try. Clark has always put his fears aside when it came to saving people (especially those he cares about), and I felt it was very un-superman like of him to not even try flying, even though peoples lives were at stake. I mean COME ON CLARK! whats the worst thing that could happen? You fall on your magnificent butt of steel a few times? Make a couple of small Clark-shaped craters? At least try!!! GEEZ!!

~*smallville_tv*~

03-28-2008, 03:31 AM

lol yeah that scene just wasn't enough! And I just thought it was wrong with Kara to say flying was just a piece of cake :P I mean it took awhile for her to get her superhearing with the ship key thing so she could have been abit more emphatic! And also try to tell how she actually flies kinda thing.
As for Clark saying it's a waste of time- it just made the scene end adruptly and it sounded like an excuse not to fly and if that were the case that should have been explored more.
Anyways I hope attempt 2 will be alot better lol. And I actually do like to see Clark try and stuff it up, rather than grab a hold of it straight away so hopefully writers won't dissapoint. I would say I would like Lana to have a part but yeah given the reduced amount she'll be on screen and her condition :( chances seem to be slim and I get the feeling when/if Lana gets out of her state, she won't be quite the same person (probably will give some clana problems as well as Clark blaming himself yet again.).

Nightwish07

03-28-2008, 03:36 AM

He has always said that he was "AFRAID OF HEIGHTS"....hense, the epi where he was across the street to go to the DP and save Martha and Blind Lionel...then when he was in the hot air ballooon.."RYAN" epi....there are so many references to the being afraid of heights thing....but I agree, it's now the 7th season...it's getting old, throw him into the air and see what happens.

Yeah, I think so, too. Just like he got x-ray vision, all of a sudden he could do it, but he had to learn how to focus it and how to start it willingly.
Or that heat vision - all his powers came when he didn't expected it, maybe just, because his body was ready to have this powers.

I guess, when his body or his mind matured enough or whatever it needs to be able to fly as a kryptonian, then it'll happen and not, when he forces it.

I agree that he should have tried at least when he was with Kara (would have been so funny to watch !), but we don't know, how much this episode has been changed /re-edited since it wasn't ment to be the finale anymore.

And what do we learn from that? Never trust those trailers :D

herolee10

03-28-2008, 04:26 AM

I think with all of his other powers, it just "came" to him, so in a way maybe Clark was expecting that his power of flight would just "come" to him like all of his other powers did. Never did Clark ever have to "learn" to use a new power that he'd never experienced using while being conscious of it.

True but some people are terrified of spiders and freeze up and lose their minds going hystarical in the process. I see that as silly, but it is what it is. Fear and phobia's can hinder the strongest of people.

Him not flying didn't keep me from enjoying this episode. I wasn't expecting him to fly, maybe a few crashes here and there from trying...and I can see how some are mad that he didn't even try. But overall him flying/not trying can be easily over looked for me.

Promise

03-28-2008, 08:52 AM

I'm glad it wasn't all about the flying. It would of cheapened the episode

I half expected clark to finally be able to fly and go off after them. Too bad i was dissapointed.

Well, Clark's flying should be done on a more dramatic situation. While I understand the frustration, you have to remember he is still Clark, not superman yet.

TheUnforgiven512

03-28-2008, 09:02 AM

I dont think clark will ever fly UNTIL he is superman. That was the case in the movies. Besides, it WAS a waste of time. He cant perfect flying in a second, or even an hour. it will take a while to get used to it. He probably doesnt want to crash in the city and see hundreds of people who now know some of his secrets. Or to fly in outer space then lose control and winds up just floating there helpless. If he flies, people will recognize him, which will draw attention to him and everybody he knows. UNTIL he gets the superman suit, he probably wont fly.

Also its one of the most expensive things you can do with a TV show. As it was mentioned earlier, he probably did learn a little but as the finale. But they edited it at the last minute to take the flying out since its not a finale anymore. They didnt have time to edit the description or promos.

maryjanewatson

03-29-2008, 02:29 AM

I'm joining the bandwagon of being upset that he didn't even try. I've pointed out on another thread that Clark knows that his body can fly. He found that out in Season 4. Which brings the question... if you knew you could fly... KNEW, and just didn't remember how... how long would it take you to try again? I would try three seconds later. And I would keep trying until it worked. Clark has waited three years and still is embarrased to try? WTF? What a jerk, and Kara should have pushed him. Or carry him up into the upper atmosphere and just dropped him. "Sink or swim time".

well, really, he found out in season 1, when he was floating above his bed that one morning (2nd episode). There he knew he could defy gravity. and then "rosetta" he says he think he might have flown, but that we'll never know. And then in season 4 like you said.

omigosh, that would be the best thing ever, if Kara had taken him against his will into the sky and just dropped him. :rotfl:

Yasise

03-29-2008, 03:57 AM

omigosh, that would be the best thing ever, if Kara had taken him against his will into the sky and just dropped him. :rotfl:

Yes and Clark would have looked like a big child...I don't think that I wanted to see him like that. It would have been funny, if he had tried a few jumps and failed to fly, but it wouldn't have been the same when Kara did, what you suggested, IMO.

He said to Kara "we're wasting time, with abilities I don't have yet", so maybe it is as simple as that and it's just a fact.
He doesn't have this ability yet and he will be able to fly when he or his mind is ready for that.
Or maybe that has something to do with Jor-El or his destiny?

In "Crusade" Martha told Dr. Swann's assistant that Clark flew and the answer of that woman was "That means that he totally embraced his destiny!"

I think, Clark hasn't accepted his destiny at all till now, so this might be the only reason why he isn't able to fly.
He isn't afraid of heights, maybe he is just afraid of what the consequences would possibly be when he would finally embrace his destiny. He lived all his life among humans, he doesn't know, what it means to be a kryptonian. How is he supposed to accept something he isn't sure of?

He must accept willingly his destiny first, and not be forced to accept it and then, IMO, he'll be able to fly.

...it would have been funny though....

Clark HAS the ability to fly, he just doesn't know how.

yes, it would have been funny, if he had tried a bit but as soon as he embraces his destiny, he will be able to fly, I'm sure :)
let's give him just a little bit more time...

and then "rosetta" he says he think he might have flown, but that we'll never know.
Yeah he mentions that his feet weren't dirty and he's not sure how much walking was involved. His body can fly but his mind can't control it yet. What a BDA

yeah, because when he's dreaming he's "doing" things subconsciously and as all other posters say, his body/mind "knows" already, that he is able to fly, but he isn't aware of this ability or how he actually should do it, when he's awake.

But he will be conscious of it as soon as he willingly accepts or embraces his destiny. There is still that knot in his mind, which he has to undo first, and that is solving his problems with Jor-El and accepting his destiny. Maybe he'll understands that connection in one of the next episodes.
Sorry, for repeating myself :)

I knew that Clark would not fly in this episode. If anything, I don't think this will happen till the "Series Finale", not season finale. A close out to the series, most likely next season. The only true flight he had as Kal-El, though does not count. *Azra-El*

Um, the CW and Rogers suck. The Rogers description CLEARLY says "Kara teaches Clark how to fly".... where WAS THE FLYING!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad that episode was NOT the finale, because for a finale, it sucked.

there was nothing about the scene that even justified the statement

even if maybe she had given him directions or maybe picked him up and flew him like holding the back of a bike while a kid rides it

it was absolutely ridiculous to ever have put that statement in... should have been 'KARA TRIES TO TEACH CLARK HOW TO FLY BUT HES HAVING NONE OF IT'

how do they even get away with that?

thing is i wouldn't have cared about the flying. seemed like a pretty weak reason for him to have to learn. but the fact is they said she was going to teach him to fly and she didn't, cause he still doesnt know how to fly

it's an actual LIE

LIARS!!!!!!!!

Hi Becky, I'm just wondering, is it possible, that they didn't have had enough time to edit those trailers in time?
I mean, they surely edited this episode, we all know. Maybe there was a flying scene in it before the editing, before they knew that it wouldn't be the finale?
Please don't get me wrong, I was as surprised as you were, about Kara actually NOT teaching Clark how to fly in that episode.
But maybe it was all an "editing time problem" - for the episode AND those trailers :confused:

yeah, "Arctic" sounds like Clark finally going on with his training or at least, that's what popped up in my mind, the first time I read it.
IMO, the last scene is him, standing in the FOS, like he did in Season5, Episode1 and having his training....

sorry for being off-topic :o
