View Full Version : Mr. Teague was disappointed in Clark/Mr. Teague was a disappointment

It was clear Mr. Teague thought Clark was irresponsible in not stopping Lex from going to Zurich and getting the cryptograph. When he told Mr. Teague he knew all about Lex, he was sooo disappointed in Clark.
Now, not only is Jor El doing things to punish Clark for carelessness in regards to destruction of the world, but Earth people are also.
I'm really glad Lana's leaving so Clark can finally realize the world is important. lol
----- Added 9 Minutes later -----
But then Clark didn't believe there was really anything to control him. He didn't believe his father would have sent anything to do that. Which his father shouldn't have. That's kind of strange. Most parents wouldn't want anything bad happening to their child. I wouldn't think Jor El would have done that either.

Edward Teague wasn't being reasonable in my opinion.
Was Clark supposed to know that Lex was going to Zurich?
Was Clark supposed to know that Lionel's threats were true?
Was Clark supposed to believe Lionel after he double-crossed so many people (including Edward Teague himself)?
Was Clark supposed to put everything aside and run for that box and then have innocent lives put into danger?
Was Clark supposed to let himself fade away from existence because he's running for that box instead of searching for Brainiac?
Was Clark supposed to suspend all belief that Lex had some "good" in him and wasn't that obsessed?
IMO, ET is a hypocrite in some form.

Clark didn't believe anything could actually control him. His said his father wouldn't have done that. So maybe his father didn't, and Mr. Teague is wrong.
I agree, Edward Teague shouldn't have tried to kill Clark, it wasn't his place. It would be very irresponsible to give anyone the secret to Clark's weakness, tell them Clark was coming, and how to control him. I think a better explanation would be that Brainiac left it, or Brainiac was behind it. Or, that Zod or his followers were behind the control device. IMO.

They made Teague out to be a religious fanatic - sort of like the Crusaders Chloe referred to. You don't bow down to someone in worship and then try to kill them in minutes' time. Very unreasonable.

I thought Teague was nuts...but he made a lot of good points. Clark needs to learn to be more proactive. He was willing to kill clark then and there to help protect the world. Like I said...he was totally off his rocker....but his actions could be seen as accurate.
Clark constantly dances around issues...waits for them to get out of control....then desperately tries to fix them. I think thats Teagues point. If Clark knows Lex is going to find out he's the travelor something needs to be done now...not after he's taken over. So the options are 1) stop lex from finding out 2) kill lex 3) kill clark. It's simple.
But instead Clark waits around.....so in that sense, I did understand where Teague was coming from. He was prepared to do what was needed for the greater good. A trait Clark has yet to master.

I dont think anyone means for Clark to go over to Lex's house and "off" him. I think the point is....it may come to the point where he and Lex are battling...and he has to do something drastic to protect the world. Thats the vibe I got from Chloe...and everyone else.
If Clark lets Lex control him....he is in turn killing people. I'm sure Lex would easily destroy people, and if Clark lets that happen...he is responsible for those deaths. How is that any better?? :\

You've just hit on the conundrum that is Superman. How many times in the countless history of Superman would it have been easier to just kill his enemy and spare future lives?
He lives by a code that is not pretty. But he's not a god and he knows it. It's not his say whether to take a life.
That's why Superman is so much more complex than the common person realizes.

Edward Teague had a very good point. Clark Kent on Smallville is destructively irresponsible. He killed Jonathan and Martha's unborn child. He put on a red Kryptonite ring and ran away from home, knowingly becoming a criminal and forcing his adoptive father to ruin his heart in order to restore him to normal. Revealed his powers to Lex in order to save his life, but allowed him to have his memory erased to protect his secret.
Got his memories erased from his father for ignoring his responsibilities. For almost an entire season, he ignored the need to gather the crystals necessary to form the Fortress of Solitude. Didn't return to Fortress like he promised, losing his powers. Ignored the threat of a great danger from Krypton coming to Earth so he could be normal. Got his adoptive father killed. Dropped out of college. Allowed Zod to run amok because he ignored his training.
You know what, this is actually getting annoying so I'm stopping now. Clark is a screw up. Jor-El probably would've done the same thing.
Which his father shouldn't have. That's kind of strange. Most parents wouldn't want anything bad happening to their child. I wouldn't think Jor El would have done that either.This was explained. It was sent in case Clark became evil.
Exacly superman is not a killer. this is DC comics folks, not marvel.And that's one of the many things that makes Marvel overall better and more profitable. Superman doesn't even kill people like Zod or Darkseid. Things just always work via Deus Ex Machina, a concept that was played out before this nation even existed.

He did no such thing. He tried to save Lex from having his memory erased, DESPITE the potential consequences it could bring him, due to his love for Lex and his hatred of the evil that Lionel embodied, and the fact that Lionel would be getting away with murder.

Was Clark supposed to know that Lex was going to Zurich?.
not on his own cause he can't do **** alone. but then why didn't he draft Chloe as always to hack in and take his flightplans, cause Chloe didn't think of it first therefore it was impossible?
Was Clark supposed to know that Lionel's threats were true? He should've at the very least entertained the possibility. Regardless of what Lionel has done, he was still the repository of a wealth of knowledge that clark needed. He let anger get in the way of his responsibilities.
Was Clark supposed to believe Lionel after he double-crossed so many people (including Edward Teague himself)? . see above reply
Was Clark supposed to put everything aside and run for that box and then have innocent lives put into danger? . as oppposed to all the bigger, badder **** that will happen if/when Lex gets control of him? yes of course that makes perfect sense:rolleyes:
Was Clark supposed to let himself fade away from existence because he's running for that box instead of searching for Brainiac?. well seeing as he gave up on that search and was asking for oblivion in the last episode This point is shot down. And don't forget before this he was outsourcing all the the hard parts of the Brainiac search (I.E. The entire searching part) to Chloe, so it's not like she needed him hovering over her like a useless housefly all day. It would've been just as easy to say "Hey, I'm going to look for the keys. call me if you find anything." But that would require intelligence and independence, the two things Clark has in shortest supply
Was Clark supposed to suspend all belief that Lex had some "good" in him and wasn't that obsessed? . He's already said on several occasions that Lex was a lost cause... AND IN THIS FREAKING EPISODE HE TOLD TEAGUE THAT HE KNOW THE KIND OF THREAT LEX WAS!! and yet he STILL didn't do anything about it??? Teague was totally in the right to call Clark on his sheer DUMBASSERY!!
IMO, ET is a hypocrite in some form.
not at all. In fact I'd hoped his words would get through him in ways even Chloe couldn't; but the loft scene proved it was a fool's dream

Clark was probably taking it easy on Lex to give Lex a fighting chance in the finale.
Almost everyone knows Clark's weakness to Kryptonite except for poor Lex, so it is too easy for Clark to beat Lex if Clark really wants to beat Lex.
The fight in the finale is now more exciting now that Lex has that crystal apple, but Lex is still going to lose. Usually somebody shows up and helps Clark win.

He choose to wait and when he did go, he stopped and watched the procedure. He could have very well ran through the wall and freed him at super speed.

And it was cool to finally see him get really hurt (physically) and once again, chloe to the rescue !!!!!!! clark would be lying in a gutter dead if it werent for chloe. I love chloe so much. I was actually glad that clark got hurt, I hated him for so long and I finally got what I wanted.
for someone to really hurt him, so I guess that makes me just as crazy as edward then, :D:lol::p

Again, this is speculation, speculation of a matter of opinion. No way IMO was it Clark's fault at all. Poor Clark, look what they put him through. You don't order someone to do something, and leave everyone they've ever known without explanation.
And the ship was only there because......... CLARK was there, so Martha would never have been pregnant in the first place if it weren't for Clark, and that story plot was soooo incredibly silly, I don't even like to discuss it. It was not needed an unecessary.
And...Brainiac is in fact a threat in the finale.
All about Clark
05-09-2008, 02:37 PM
Being that Zod could have taken over Clark in Solitude, it made sense to have this device. However, Teague shouldn't have known how to kill Clark based on Jor-el's wishes that his life be spared.
I think Teague was right about Clark and that he wasn't acting responsibly. He spent the night with a comatose Lana then to go to the mansion and take at least one of the keys from Lex. I do think Clark had a lesson to learn here, I just don't think the lesson should have been death as Teague intended.
And Clark does need to be able to prioritize in his actions between Lex and Braniac. He could say he was focused on Braniac, but we all know Clark spent a night with Lana instead of getting a key.
----- Added 8 Minutes later -----

Umm, actually Clark has been hurt more often than any human I've met and nearly died so many times already, which is strange for a guy who shouldn't get hurt.
Clark has suffered plenty and the longer he takes to accept his destiny, the more he will suffer. I actually think enough is enough on everything they have put poor Clark through.
Hopefully, this was a wake-up call for Clark.

I propose that Ed Teague is the big dumb human. He has Lex right in front of him and instead of killing him he leaves a message on Lex's chest for the traveller.
Bit of a random thing to do seeing as there was no guarantee that Clark would see it. Jimmy happening to get a photo of Lex's chest was just a ridiculous plot device - for one Lex was attacked at the mansion so the ambulance would have come onto the mansion grounds and collected him from there. Jimmy wouldn't have been able to take photos of Lex on the mansion grounds. The only way would be if he got a photo as they were unloading Lex at the hospital. So say we go with that.
Ed Teague finally gets to meet the traveller and he isn't quite what he expected so he decides to kill the traveller to prevent 'the most evil one' Lex from gaining control of him. It just strikes me as odd that he would choose to kill the traveller when he could have killed Lex. He had Lex right in front of him but chose to carve a message into his chest instead of killing him - if Lex was so evil then why not kill him right there, surely that would put a final end to the problem??
Also Ed Teague knew that the clock was at the church and that Lex would be coming to retreive the Veritas artifact there so why didn't he try to stop him or enlist Clark to stop him? Surely that would have been easier than trying to kill Clark?
xrayvision
05-11-2008, 08:25 AM
There is a lot that could be said.
Why didn't Ed Teague destroy the clock or have it melted down at a foundry? That would have prevented the Traveler from ever being controlled. Or why didn't Lionel (if he was so worried about the box in Zurich being opened) destroy his key?

Lex was stabbed before the chest carving was done. The assassin must have thought that should kill him. But he didn't know about Lex's meteor freak healing abilities.

Lex doesn't have any meteor freak healing abilities. He has an abnormally high white blood cell count but that storyline has since been buried never to seen again.
From what they've said about Kryptonite on the show - that it is the radioactive remains of planet Krypton, I don't know how it could have existed prior to the destruction of Krypton. But it is true it was in that temple where the stones were hidden. The storyline just doesn't add up!

I'm not so sure it was buried. I think they're doing it in a more subtle manner now. After all the times Lex got shot, he could have had heavy metal poisoning along with infections and other stuff, but he keeps living. He's gotten shot, stabbed, and more. I think his immune system is something like Wolverine's, but much less powerful.

Or was Teague just upset CLark wasn't doing more to stop Lex?
Kill kill kill! It's all so dead. There are livelier ways of shutting someone down. Granted Teague sent an assassin, but that's last minute stuff.
What I'm curious about is why make those carving on Lex? Was the idea to leave him for dead with a message for Clark on his chest, leading him to meet up with Teague? It appears so and from the looks of it the only thing that went wrong was the assassin was sloppy (Lex Lives) and Teague didn't like The Traveler's attitude...:mad: SO then that's it! Maybe Clark has to die, by the moons of kandor!!!
But wait! Then why does Teague leave Clark alive and well on the altar. And as he says, Jor-EL couldn't stand the idea of his son killed, so he devised this instead...
Trainwreck..methinks not (IMHO)...intriguing and interesting in my book. Where I will get irked is if, like so bloody often in this show, they've set up something very interesting and then let it drop like the Hindenburgh, never to be heard of again. SO much potential and then FIZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

Teague wanted to see the Traveler, just as all the members of Veritas did. The only problem is that when he saw Clark, and he didn't live up to expectations, it drove Teague crazier than a bedbug.

Yeah, Teague was a trainwreck of characterization. Although he's right about Clark refusing to accept his destiny, he can't complain about him not killing Lex when he intentionally passed up the chance with his assassin.
yeah, exactly what I was wondering about, too.
......... Then why does Teague leave Clark alive and well on the altar.
Alive and well??? He left Clark on the altar surrounded by kryptonite, which we all know is fatal for him. I doubt he would have been alive for long if it wasn't for Chloe.............

but it reminds me of Dr.Evil's line...I am going to go in the other room and just assume they are dead.

Above all,why did he let the destroyer have the devise that can control Clark.Is he that dump or is he really on Clark's side?
This bothered me. He's knocked to the floor, Lex who has a stab wound and carvings gets up faster than Teague and practically rushes over to pick up what he dropped and you don't even see Teague up or do anything about Lex's actions. How insane is that. Teague knew Lex was there for a reason and didn't bother to fight him for the artifact. What the hell was he doing, Clark didn't injure him. He should have been up before a stab wounded Lex and saw Lex head for the artifact and fight him for it.

Nobody knew that Lex activated the clock and that he had the artifact.
Clark came in and the artifact was on the floor. That's why he didn't see it
on Lex when he scanned him.

^Teague said it was moved to the church, and I think that is why he was there. He may not know that it was the clock as in he didn't know where in the church, however, he knew what Lex was after and he knew Lex would find it. So obviously he should have watched Lex's every move, now shouldn't he.
