Clark the Moron 2.0

[Superman of Krypton]

There were many BDA moments in this one and even though I thought this was a great episode (thanks to Lex)...I thought it was interesting that the B plot centered on people trying to convince Clark to stop being a BDA.

Is this the turning point? Will Clark finally change?

Or will he ignore everything and go back to pining over Lana like the last 100 times this happened?

[lovingtom]

he is..he doesn't want to kill lex, and doesn't want to do anything with lex, but he as all the answers. DUH..he needs to know that lex will be coming after him. BE KILL OR KILL..

[superspider02]

Yea hopefully its a turn for clark to be less of the BDA he has been alot of times in the series. As for the killing lex thing he doesnt want to kill any one even evil people because of his morals and his belief that there is good in all.

[AlwaysRight]

I thought it was somewhat Clark of him to realize the stupidity of killing somebody

I don't understand your reasoning for Clark to be a BDA in this episode. I didn't see it. Do you see him as a BDA for not killing Lex like the pathetic Chloe suggested? Teague wanted Clark to kill Lex but Clark hasn't. Does that make him a BDA?:confused:

[curiosity]

He's not really a BDA, he just should have stopped Lex from going to Zurich, not killed him.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

However, we did see that Clark doesn't believe for on second that his father would have sent something to Earth to control him. After all, why would his father believe he would ever turn against humanity?

[msleggie]

I was thinking the same thing, Clark has come a long way, the problem is that he has an even longer way 2 go & he seems to be @ a standstill

[The Ship!]

All I know is that Jorel had to create this Alternate world to make the point to CK that he would do best to start ACCEPTING his destiny. EVEN after Brainiac humiliated him during the same episode, he is still not getting the point.

It is so unfortunate that he isn't willing to Learn and really act as a MATURE PERSON.

I really think that JOREL MUST have DRopped HIm on his head when he was borned.

Oh well, maybe it is best to let LEX BE SUPERMAN.

[Superman of Krypton]

He didnt need to kill anyone initially...

He could have stopped Lex, confined him.. destroyed the artifact (instead of assuming Lex didnt have it because it wasnt in Lex's pocket)

I'm worried Jor-El is going to mindwipe Lex in the Fortress anyway

[Theshadow129x]

i didnt see Clark as a bda...i saw him trying to use what intellect he had to figure out everything. he didnt ask chloe to do all the work for him, he was there to help her too giving clues as to what they should look into.

Also, people have told Clark to kill Lex before but Clark doesnt believe in killing. Superman never did. so it fits that this is what he believes in. Just because someone doesnt believe in something doesnt make them dumb it just makes them different from you.

Hopefully this Clark dies and the real Clark (Superman) appears - I could care less how - have him walk up

Word.

yup, superman is not a killer.

[Superman of Krypton]

Superman would have just tossed Lex in jail for all the murders Lex did.

true, but he has no proof. that's why lex always gets away with it.

[Superman of Krypton]

Lex did get convicted several times in the mythos. He just manages to get away after a while.

Clark could have got proof if he tried, but he was too busy with Lana 2 episodes ago to care about what Lex was doing.

Clark can literally be anywhere at any time he wants... but rarely uses his powers in an intelligent way and is often forced into these situations that warrant him to take the hard road.


Then again, given all the power that Jor-El has in the FoS, he probably could have located the device (since Jor-El himself created it)

[susangail]

Although Clark is still a few steps behind the action, I did appreciate his intensity. He might not have been happy about the situation, but at least he was moving beyond moping. The loft scene with Chloe at the end was a microscopic improvement: "this is all happening because of me" "but the guy is bad" "so you want me to kill Lex now?"

[Vergon6]

You know Jimmy had that picture of Lex killing Lionel in "Descent". The copy of it was destroyed on both the computer at the Daily Planet and at Isis, but you would think Jimmy would still have the memory card (it seemed like he was using a high end digital camera) that would still contain the photo to put Lex away. We never saw that get destroyed and we never saw his camera get destroyed, but of course, like Gina's voice-mail message, that little detail will be swept under the rug lol

[haltoe]

Great, great point. With his powers Clark should be able to find the evidence and get the job done, the legal way. Instead Clark is too much of a Kryptonian Hamlet.

[Darth Pipes]

Another thing that annoys me about Clark continually blaming himself for stuff he has no control over. He talks about people who have died because of him, like Jor-El or even mentioning the Teagues. He was an infant...he had no control over the actions of the Luthors, the Teagues, the Queens or Swann when they all came together. They chose to respond to Clark by forming their group.

I think Clark just has a guilt fetish.
