The CLOIS scene's -- Your thoughts

[Minela]

Okay... so it was about Lana *gag* but that hug was still really great. I mean, it was long long long and they held each other and swayed from side to side together. Awwww.

What do you guys think?

Hello Minela dear :D

I think you said it all in the bolded part!

[ninthdegree]

It was amazing! My clois heart is soaring right now :D

[AndiGirl]

I loved the hug. It was very Lois...ish? haha. The way she hung back at first...like a deer in head lights, then she just runs to him. Showing her softer side...gotta love it. And I dont care what anyone else says....Toms tears....*applauds* I thought it was magnificent.

The hug was a very sweet moment.

[Minela]

Hello Minela dear :D

I think you said it all in the bolded part!


Jennster, what's up? Long time no talk. We had us some nice Cloisyness tonight. ;)

[AlwaysRight]

I would say it more a Clana thing with a dibble of Clois friendship, i guess it sort of mirrors the scene in Siren a bit

[LuckyLois]

It showed how much Lois cares for Clark! She ran to him to, that's how badly she wanted to soothe him!

[DreadShamus]

Lois will never be with Clark in this series. All this shows is Lois cares for Clark more than she lets on. It will be years before she lets herself understand more.

[wolverine316]

Its about time baby. Lana is gone. Chloe will probably marry that loser Jimmy while in jail. Clark and Lois forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimmyolsenblues]

i think lois was just being a good friend.

[superspider02]

Yea the break up video and the lois comforting clark was a very emotional scene.

[AndiGirl]

Yea...I'm not sure it was hinting at a romantic clois relationship...but definitely the start of a friendship...which is great.

[luvinChlark]

One question: Why was Lois even there? She was there in the morning then drove back to metroplois then back to smallville?? It didn't make sense...But w/e gotta have those anvils. :rolleyes:

[AlwaysRight]

If i am correct she does live in Smallville still

[Twitch]

I loved this scene so much, very emotional, the Clois hug was very sweet. :D

[jordeant1200]

sorta both she was there to comfort him but also itll help start the lois and clark thing

[RobynAdele0406]

Lois was just being a good friend. Clark was tearing up about Lana, definitely wasn't the start of some epic love affair between Clark and Lois.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

No, it was the start of a Chlark love affair.

Er, I really don't get this option.

[WickedJenn]

Jennster, what's up? Long time no talk. We had us some nice Cloisyness tonight. ;)

Yes we did! Loved the little bit of banter in the beginning, and of course, the hug rocked.

[jordeant1200]

Lois was just being a good friend. Clark was tearing up about Lana, definitely wasn't the start of some epic love affair between Clark and Lois.

its not "some" its "the" b/c it happens no matter what ppl think about it

[theotherJane]

Er, I really don't get this option.

And the sad fact that already 3 people voted for it. Except it had nothing to do with Chloe.

[Minela]

Well, it was very very anvilicious. While Lana is going on and on about Clark being destined for greater things and how he is not destined for her... Lois yet again walks into the scene and symbolically takes over. Ah... gotta love that. Those anvils man... they get me every time. I also loved how she felt his pain so much that she teared up herself. I mean, Lois doesn't jut do that for shits and giggles. If Lois cries, it's damn serious.

And the hug... the hug was really long. I think it is the longest Smallville hug to date. :D

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


Er, I really don't get this option.

It was for the Chlarkers who no matter what is shown on screen, only see a Chlark romance. You know those people. Gotta give them an option to vote. :lol:

[theotherJane]

The one thing I hated about the hug is that it made Clark look really, really bad. But that's to be expected, I guess. BDA at his best, and they made Lana all saint-like...ugh.

[AlwaysRight]

Er, I really don't get this option.

Because you know, Smallville is a story of Chloe's journey

[AndiGirl]

I see your point Minela...but Lana was going on about the world needing clark more then she does. Lana still loves him very much...but she's letting him go because it's the right thing to do. Which makes me think the writers are telling us there may be some harmless flirting between clark and Lois...but he's FINALLY going to focus on his destiny.

[Minela]

And the sad fact that already 3 people voted for it. Except it had nothing to do with Chloe.

Exactley. :lol:

[AndiGirl]

The one thing I hated about the hug is that it made Clark look really, really bad. But that's to be expected, I guess. BDA at his best, and they made Lana all saint-like...ugh.

how did it make clark look bad?

[jimmyolsenblues]

please don't start a shipper fight...please. it was a nice episode.

[curiosity]

Okay... so it was about Lana *gag* but that hug was still really great. I mean, it was long long long and they held each other and swayed from side to side together. Awwww.

What do you guys think?

It was symbolizing the ending of Clana and the beginning of Clark's future relationship with Lois. You could see Lois in the background as Lana's tape was playing, and then she ran and hugged Clark.

[kryptonaidxh]

:rolleyes:suprise surpise....that guh had to be about Lana...even when she´s not present Clark has to be an idiot for her, it would be better if they have cried for Chloe.:cool:

[meteor_phreak]

I think Lois, or ANYONE else put in that situation, would pretty much HAVE TO hug him...did you see mopey clark cry? I think it was pretty much an end to Clana, and since Lois doesn't ever use a doorbell, she was just right place, right time, and was being a good friend.

[Cellist]

I loved it. Finally they're throwing us a frickin' bone in regards to Clark and journalism!

[redeem147]

I think from the beginning of the scene with Lana saying goodbye while Lois came in the room until the hug was forshadowing for his relationship with Lois.

[WickedJenn]

I think Lois, or ANYONE else put in that situation, would pretty much HAVE TO hug him...did you see mopey clark cry? I think it was pretty much an end to Clana, and since Lois doesn't ever use a doorbell, she was just right place, right time, and was being a good friend.

Well, except for in the beginning of the epi ;)

But she rang it a million times and knocked, as only Lois would :lol:

[dru-zod2501]

a lightbulb by any other name is just as awkward

[redraven]

:lol: The third option really makes no sense.

I naturally voted for the second option, but even if I wasn't a Clana shipper, I really don't see how the Clois hug could possibly be seen as the start of an 'epic love affair'. :confused: She came into the house just as Clark finished watching the video *cough*contrived!*cough* and saw he was upset and what he was upset about. Lana. So she gave him a friendly hug to console him.


:rolleyes:suprise surpise....that guh had to be about Lana...even when she´s not present Clark has to be an idiot for her, it would be better if they have cried for Chloe.:cool:

Hmm...so after Clark finished watching a dear john video from the girl he loves, you wanted him to cry about Chloe? Okay.

[Minela]

Well, except for in the beginning of the epi ;)

But she rang it a million times and knocked, as only Lois would :lol:

Pitbull on a pant leg. :lol:

[meteor_phreak]

well, that doesn't count...I shouldn't say NEVER, :lol:...Lois has a "drama meter" in her pocket that goes off and alerts her whether it's more dramatic to ring or to just barge in.

[RobynAdele0406]

its not "some" its "the" b/c it happens no matter what ppl think about it

Yes, it happens in the comics. On this show? We'll see. ;)

I'm a Cloiser. I just so happen to not like this version of Lois, so I don't Smallville Clois.

[RedKalEL]

2nd best scene in the episode after clark kills brainiac

[double L]

It was a great moment between them, and it seemed very real.


No, it was the start of a Chlark love affair. :lol:

[Minela]

:lol: The third option really makes no sense.

I naturally voted for the second option, but even if I wasn't a Clana shipper, I really don't see how the Clois hug could possibly be seen as the start of an 'epic love affair'. :confused: She came into the house just as Clark finished watching the video *cough*contrived!*cough* and saw he was upset and what he was upset about. Lana. So she gave him a friendly hug to console him.

The hug was rather long... and knowing Lois doesn't do sad, doesn't really cry on the drop of a hat, and always tells Clark to stop moping... well that suggest something. Plus, it also helps a lot that we all know they are destined for a, yes, epic love affair.

[WickedJenn]

I think...and Minela can correct me if I'm wrong--that it didn't necessarily mean epic love affair "right now". More like them becoming closer as friends is just the tip of the iceberg for their eventual relationship.

[jacques]

Come on. I think the only reason he hugged her was because she was there. What could she do just stand there and watch while he cried. I'm a Chlark fan all the way.

[redeem147]

I think it shows that Lana represents keeping him in Smallville (and the farm) and Lois represents growing up and on to Metropolis.

[SteveS]

ClarkMan is in the midst of one of his most private and personal moments as he gets his 'dear John" from Lana and lois is sneaking in the back door of his house? The scene, up until I saw her, I thought was truly and emotional, after seeing her, it was ill-timed, unlikely and stupid.

"They" could have made her put her move on ClarkMan later after he has had some time to grieve; this is just a version of a lightswitch. lois going out of her way, uninvited, to immediately be with ClarkMan as he is still looking at the video? Stupid and wrong.

[jimmyolsenblues]

i loved it that lois wants clark to work there , very nice, but she is so competitive does not seem 100% kosher , you know?

[redraven]

The hug was rather long... and knowing Lois doesn't do sad, doesn't really cry on the drop of a hat, and always tells Clark to stop moping... well that suggest something. Plus, it also helps a lot that we all know they are destined for a, yes, epic love affair.

I give my friends long hugs when they're upset, too. Lois isn't completely heartless, if she saw Clark like that she wouldn't just tell him to stop moping, which she didn't. Any friend would realize that's what he would need, no matter how sarcastic they may be. Also, they don't know they're destined for each other, so that doesn't mean much from a character's perspective. So again...that hug is in no way the start of an epic love affair.

[WickedJenn]

I think it shows that Lana represents keeping him in Smallville (and the farm) and Lois represents growing up and on to Metropolis.

Ooh I hadn't thought of it that way...nice point!

[kryptonaidxh]

:rolleyes:yeah, that would have been a great scene if he wan´t disguised his proud and foolishness when he rejected that job aplication. only ´cause he didn´t work for Lex, come on! what a fool you are Clark.:(

[theotherJane]

...is just soo wrong.

[AlwaysRight]

Hopefully they hire somebody to play Perry White(even if it is not Micheal Mckean) so they can give a logical reason why Clark gets a job at the Planet(as a favor)

[krewsaider]

Maybe he will accept since Lex is "away" next season.

[RedKalEL]

Come on. I think the only reason he hugged her was because she was there. What could she do just stand there and watch while he cried. I'm a Chlark fan all the way.

so you probably hated the chimmy proposal too lol. except different reason u cuz u a chalrk and me cuz i didn't care and wanted more tiem for clark and lex

[WickedJenn]

Well, I think it would've been weird if he just stood there alone crying to himself as the minutes dragged by...he had a solitude moment in the barn before Jimmy came up.

[Minela]

...is just soo wrong.


I'm glad somebody agrees with me. Not to be the one to knock Clois scenes, but Lois Lane shouldn't be giving anybody, especially Clark, job applications. for the DP. I think that's just wrong. :\

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

I loved the hug...but it was over Lana thats what got to me, but it was kind of awkward, cute maybe bcs Lois is so much taller then Lana..lol It was a comforting hug and I'm glad Lois was there for him, but the timing was kinda off.
I just wish it wasn't over Lana it should of been over Chloe being in the hospital, now that was sad...

[wallyK]

Clark has no reason to go work at the Daily Planet. What's wrong with being a farmer? My brother-in-law is a farmer!! I know that Clark is "supposed" to go to the Daily Planet, but he needs a MOTIVATION. I see none at this point.

[CallMeClark]

It was so frakkin romantic.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

I'm glad someone finally did.

[theotherJane]

I'm glad somebody agrees with me. Not to be the one to knock Clois scenes, but Lois Lane shouldn't be giving anybody, especially Clark, job applications. for the DP. I think that's just wrong. :\

*High five* I didn't like that scene, at all. Clark needs to natrually develop an interest for journalism on his own.

[jacques]

I'm with you Minela, if anyone was supposed to be giving Clark a job application it should have been Chloe and a long time ago at that. Lois is barely a reporter now.

[AndiGirl]

Lois was just being a good friend...he was there for her, and she got the chance to return the favor. It was a beautiful moment.

[SuperKyptonGirl13]

that was a horrible lightswitch , i would never want clark to get in that way , i especially don;t want him to work for LUTHOR, it's a great thing he said no to that one

[Jade4813]

i loved it that lois wants clark to work there , very nice, but she is so competitive does not seem 100% kosher , you know?

She doesn't expect him to be her partner. She's fine with him working there in a non-competitive way, but I can still imagine her being...Displeased when she's later told she's to work with him. ;)

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Lois is barely a reporter now.

And Chloe is?

[Minela]

*High five* I didn't like that scene, at all. Clark needs to natrually develop an interest for journalism on his own.

*high five* back at 'cha. You are right. He needs to think of it on his own, it needs to be because of a reason, not just lame circumstances. If Chloe would have suggested the same thing, it would have been better. I think it would have felt more organic if she had suggested he take her place, or to at least be there so he would have access to the computers or even keep an eye on Lex... Never should it have been suggested by Lois Lane. :rolleyes:

[Jade4813]

I'm with you Minela, if anyone was supposed to be giving Clark a job application it should have been Chloe and a long time ago at that. Lois is barely a reporter now.

:confused: She's barely a reporter, though we see her actually doing reporting at the DP? As opposed to Chloe, who's not reporting at all, I suppose?

I'll never understand the logic.

[kryptonaidxh]

Actually Lois IS someone qualified to make job aplications. She´s the future star reporter of the Daily Planet!, of course she´s the best to do that, and specially because she should have seen some potencial in Clark for journalism, that´s why she gave the jos aplication to CALRK!, and not to everyone else., remember that Clark and Lois are going to be work partners? also soulmates, and lovers?

Clark was the big fool that rejected the job.;)

[Kreukie]

Another example of Clark not being able to think for himself! You would think HE would do it on his own, but no... someone has to suggest it to him.

Yeah... major growth there! :lol:

[WickedJenn]

Lois was just being a good friend...he was there for her, and she got the chance to return the favor. It was a beautiful moment.

Well said Andi :)

[Jade4813]

I don't know that I'm particularly adverse to the idea - I'm not like, "YES! I was hoping SHE would do it!" I'm kinda glad he turned it down, though. I like that he's thinking about reporting now (as he's shown no interest in it in YEARS) but I hope when he does apply for the DP, it's for his own motivations, not because someone suggested it.

Maybe to find out the news first so he can address it in his "super" alter-ego. ;)

Precisely...if not solely for journalism, at least for the bolded statement!

[jazzylg]

This shows that smallville is way off from the established premise of how clark gets his job. A practiced storyline since the 50's. Since smallville is more of an'elseworlds' and/or 'ultimates' type of alternate universe, it's all good.:\

[Jade4813]

Yeah... major growth there! :lol:

Hey, I consider it growth. She didn't hold the pen in his hand and help him sign his name.

A definite step up for Smallville. ;)

[srfrgrl]

And, plus, we really have seen them (more Lois than Clark) become more open with each other since "Siren." I mean, look at the end scene of "Apocalypse": she was trying to comfort him. I do have to say, though, that nothing will really happen until towards the end of next season...perhaps never! It's a sad reality, when Lois and Clark aren't together! :-(

By the way, has ANYONE FOUND OUT WHAT THAT SONG WAS!!!!!!!!!

[harryandginnyfanatic]

They end Clana in that scene and it quickly shifts to Clois.

Sign of things to come maybe.

[wallyK]

It's a lightswitch. In traditional Superman, he works at the Daily Planet so he can follow breaking news. That's not necessary in the Smallvile story, because Clark is not out to rescue kittens from trees or stop bank robbers. He's got extra-terrestrial villians to deal with. I'm not that familiar with the Justice League, but don't they use the Watchtower to monitor the world? Smallville is closer to that right now.

[Minela]

They end Clana in that scene and it quickly shifts to Clois.

Sign of things to come maybe.

Exactley. :D;)

[WickedJenn]

That's how I saw it, even if Clark and Lois don't ever start a relationship on SV. I mean it was such a huge anvil IMO.

[theotherJane]

I also liked how they pulled the ole switcharoo with this scene. Clark was there to comfort Lois over her breakup with Ollie and now Lois is there for Clark. Perfect!

[4Clana]

That's not necessary in the Smallvile story, because Clark is not out to rescue kittens from trees or stop bank robbers.
aww, I just got a mental picture of Clark doing this on the show. Would be sort of cute and a nice change of pace, to see him do that once in awhile. This is the sort of thing he can do without having to google.

[WickedJenn]

Exactly Jane.

He knows she'll be there for him even when they have their differences.

[wallyK]

aww, I just got a mental picture of Clark doing this on the show. Would be sort of cute and a nice change of pace, to see him do that once in awhile. This is the sort of thing he can do without having to google.

Yes, they could show Clark have fun once in awhile. I recently watched the episode where he discovered the Kiwatchi Caves. He had been out riding dirt bikes with Pete, having fun! And of course, Superman did rescue a kitten from a tree in "Superman The Movie". Then the little girls goes in to tell her Mom, who says "Didn't I tell you stop lying!"

[colonyofcells]

I think Clark was pretending Lois was Lana but the chest feels different, unfortunately.

[WickedJenn]

:rolleyes:

[aqgalaxy]

ED really didn't fit in this scene IMHO, for before she rang the doorbell like crazy and knocked, she doesn't just walked in. i think maybe they used ED instead of AM because ED is taller. There was a similar scene between Clark and Martha. The scene reminded me of when my Brother was distraught over something and I held him.

[Jade4813]

I think Clark was pretending Lois was Lana but the chest feels different, unfortunately.

You seriously have an obsession with ED's breasts that may not be entirely healthy. Since you bring them up in every fourth post or so.

I'm beginning to think you doth protest too much.

[Clarkgirl8]

Another example of Clark not being able to think for himself! You would think HE would do it on his own, but no... someone has to suggest it to him.

Yeah... major growth there! :lol:

Oh I didn't think of the scene this way, but now that you mention it...

I thought it was a wrong thing to do, first Clark has to develop his love for journalism (even when he's nowhere near, let's face it), then how bad did Lois look offering him Chloe's old job (I know it's not Chloe's job anymore but then why did they even write it that way) I mean i would try to help my cousin to come back but ok (I still don't buy the Chloe doesnt want to be a reporter anymore thing .blah.)

They're are trying to give EDLois all these things that she's 'suppose' to have sooooo fast that I'm not buying it. I mean two-three episodes and Clois are best friends, she's talking to him about being a reporter (since when Clark want to be one anyway) and about his destiny, really? Just slow down people!

And you have to admit it she looks kinda stalker like :lol: wanting him to be at the DP and watching him in the Clana video scene, I mean didn't Clark fell for Lois first? :p

[boywithbluehanger]

The smartest aspect of that scene is that the writers covered their butts by having Lois say that she knew Clark and Lex used to be close. Hence her belief that offering Clark a job at the Daily Planet (where he would work under Lex) may not have been a bad idea.

[SteveS]

ClarkMan did not ask for lois to come to his house or for her solace,she is making a move for her own benefit. She has a history of disregarding other people's privacy and space and yes, ClarkMan only hugged her because she was the backdoor-girl sneaking into his house. The scene would have made more sense if we saw the depth of his grief without lois barging in; the scene in the barn was no where near the same depth or intensity.

If he had called her to come to Smallville all the way from Metropolis and she came, that would have been impressive as the scene played out, it seems forced and yet again, unreal.

The good news is that the first time he uh, gets to know lois personally, he will be thinking about Lana and Alicia.

[Minela]

I think Clark was pretending Lois was Lana but the chest feels different, unfortunately.

:rotfl::rotfl:

[Jade4813]

There was a similar scene between Clark and Martha. The scene reminded me of when my Brother was distraught over something and I held him.

But I thought her comforting him was a clear sign that she comes second to Lana? So I'll choose not to address the interesting parallel with your story of your brother.

As for ED, yes, she knocked earlier. And Clark said "Come on in." Maybe she took him at his word. :p

Besides, if they wanted to use AM, I'm sure they would. Height has never stopped them before, even when they had to have KK on a pile of boxes to get there.

[WickedJenn]

I guess I have to be a male to empathize with that post about chest-size.

[aqgalaxy]

But I thought her comforting him was a clear sign that she comes second to Lana? So I'll choose not to address the interesting parallel with your story of your brother.
.
I said in terms of a relationship aspect should Clois happen it would come second to Clana, however the tone of the scene mimics a Sister comforting her brother

[minerva73]

It seemed like a friendship sort of hug, but then again I think that they're starting to open up to each other more (because this is the second time that Lois has comforted Clark within the span of two episodes).

I'm glad that Lana doesn't have a big mouth, though. She could have revealed Clark's secret, but she just said that the world needs him. Lana deserves a pat on the back. :D

[Superman's Girl]

If Clark does starting work at the Daily Planet in season 8 I wonder what Chloe's reacting will be since we know AM will be returning. I hope TPTB will allow Clark to work there early on in season 8 so we will at least have some time to enjoy it before the show ends.

[sherban1988]

I don't think it's the start of a relationship, but it's definetly going to bring them closer together as friends.
BTW, I SOOOO predicted this like, 2 weeks ago :D I said that we'll get a Clois scene better (or at least on the same level) as "Siren" ;)
And now, for my next trick, I'll pull a rabbit out of a hat :D

EDIT: Question, how can I ignore certain users' posts?

[WickedJenn]

I think everyone's going to see this scene in their own way.

My bottom line--Lois was there to comfort Clark. I'm not going to insinuate it was romantic in any way, because really, it wasn't. That being said...the fact that Lois was there in the room at almost the exact same time Lana was saying to Clark via video that they "weren't meant to be together" spells out something in the future, emphasis on that word.

[Minela]

I guess I have to be a male to empathize with that post about chest-size.

Not really. I'm a girl and I thought the chest comment was funny. However, I do have a great chest... if I may say so myself. ;)

[WickedJenn]

I meant in regards to the show itself.

And um, good for you Minela :lol:

[SpiritedDiva]

I thought ED and TW did a wonderful job in that scene. It was very touching. Though I didn't see it as romantic, I def saw mutual care.

[Clarkgirl8]

Hummm... we didn't need this poll c'mon...

Option 1 start of an epic love affair?
Really? they hugged once and it's the start of an epic love? Then Chlark (even Clana) is beyond epic ...

Option 2 Clana thing and a Clana thing only.
Is the closest one but not really, they're also trying to show us that Clois are starting a nice friendship (too fast IMO and so out of the blue but whatever)

Option 3 No, it was the start of a Chlark love affair.
Chlark had nothing to do with this scene :rotfl:

poll aside, it was a nice scene, Clark needed someone and Lois was around I'm glad they're developing their friendship. :)

[Superman of Krypton]

Its just more empty teasing, conviniently and randomly tossed into the finale as always.

Clark won't take a job at the Daily Planet on the show.

He's leaving to train for several years at the end of the series, so holding a Journalism job would be pointless.

[Minela]

I meant in regards to the show itself.

And um, good for you Minela :lol:

Ah... I know, I'm blessed. :p

[Jade4813]

Chlark had nothing to do with this scene :rotfl:

That doesn't always necessarily seem to matter, from some things I've read on here. ;)

[SmallTownSuperHero]

So have we figured out what she said to him? I watched it three times, and my pea brain is too tired to comprehend what she said!

[sherban1988]

So have we figured out what she said to him? I watched it three times, and my pea brain is too tired to comprehend what she said!

I think... it was "I'm so sorry"... can't be sure though

[Minela]

Actually Lois IS someone qualified to make job aplications. She´s the future star reporter of the Daily Planet!, of course she´s the best to do that, and specially because she should have seen some potencial in Clark for journalism, that´s why she gave the jos aplication to CALRK!, and not to everyone else., remember that Clark and Lois are going to be work partners? also soulmates, and lovers?

Clark was the big fool that rejected the job.;)

Yeah, but Lois is supposed to be too competitive to care about anybody getting ahead except for her at the DP. Clark is supposed to choose his path on his own, without being dragged to his destiny kicking and screaming.

[Jade4813]

Not really. I'm a girl and I thought the chest comment was funny. However, I do have a great chest... if I may say so myself. ;)

I'll take your word on it. ;) My breasts are probably fine, since my friend is currently using one of them for a pillow. On the other hand, mammary obsession is possibly unhealthy. ;)

Besides, when you think about it...I still think Clark is too scared of boobies to be all that adept at evaluating them, even when they're pressed against him. ;)

[TWLOVER03]

It seemed to me liek Lois just totally disowned Chloe Like " Oh well she's gone CLark, how about a job?" I thought that was a little random because I've always seen Lois as someone who looks out for Chloe, I dunno, to me it seemed out of place. Thoughts?

[Twitch]

I think... it was "I'm so sorry"... can't be sure though

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what she said too.

[SmallTownSuperHero]

I was thinking it was something along those lines, but I just can't quite make it out. By the way, I totally agree with your "give her full season eight" idea. I've loved this Lois since they introduced her, and enjoy their "I like you and can't stand that I like you" banter and sexual tension.

[SnowBird]

It was a very emotional scene and I'm glad Lois was there to comfort him. They are becoming closer friends which they need to be before a love relationship. One day a light will go on and they will discover their love for each other whether it happens sooner or later. I believe for Clark it will be later because he needs time to heal from his breakup from Lana. In the mean time, a close friendship between Clark and Lois will be welcomed.

[SmallTownSuperHero]

PS- Thanks for the quick responses. I gotta run for now. Still have an Ugly Betty season finale to watch, along with an episode of Grey's Anatomy (though I'm sure this week's lesbian kiss won't be near as hot as last week's gay kiss!) and an episode of Lost (season finale part one of three) to watch as well. :)

[minerva73]

Chloe hasn't really shown any signs that she cares about losing her job. She's not crying or moping about it, so I think that it was perfectly fine that Lois did that. If Chloe actually wanted her job back, then I'm sure that Lois wouldn't have been so quick to throw Clark an application without stepping up to that intern who got her desk.

[TWLOVER03]

I love your avatar [sorry that was really random]

1.
I am sure we will find out in season 8 what follows after huggings.
My wife likes hugs everyday.

2.
Last night I finally read 2 old messages from STFanatic about the rules.
I already said sorry.
This morning, I went over my almost old 200 posts and deleted all the ones that seemed to have violated the rules.
I hope all the Erica fans forgive me.
I just like to tell jokes and make everyone happy.
My fat wife gained weight and is now a c cup and fat is very useful.

[bklvr]

Besides, when you think about it...I still think Clark is too scared of boobies to be all that adept at evaluating them, even when they're pressed against him.

Awww, poor Clark and the scary boobies.... ;)

Seriously, I think they have been working in the second half of this season to develop trust and friendship between Lois and Clark. The hug in Siren (nicely paralleled here, as others have mentioned); their interactions in the AU in Apocalypse; Lois taking Clark out for a beer in the RW in the same episode; and now Lois comforting him over the death of Clana.

I actually do not support one ship over another, but I was happy to see that even Lana realized that she and Clark are healthier apart, and that Clark needs to get on this destiny and saving the world thing, already.:p

[warriorrenegade]

I wouldn't read too much into the hug. Lois was just being there for her friend. Thats all.

[SmallTownSuperHero]

Or perhaps, when she realized that Jimmy lied to her (which it seemed to me like she knew), she went to the one person (outside of Chloe, who can't work there right now) who has been a faithful friend to her, and wants to have someone there? It's not that hard to believe.

And if you go back and watch the past few seasons, their friendship has been a pretty healthy one. Aside from, well, you know, the giant I'm an alien superhero secret, it's been honest, no holds barred, be there for each other friendship. And the banter between them has always had that undertone of "I kinda like you, but I HATE that I like you." Even Lana noticed it - remember the whole "That's how the best ones start" comment?

Anyways, my guess is that he'll take it, simply because he needs to get away from all those memories of "OMGLana<3" that are at the farm. Well, at least that will be the reason the writers give it.

[minerva73]

lol, Thanks. I'm glad that you do. :) I already miss MR, so I decided to make one.

Another reason why I think that it's acceptable is that Lois wasn't really hurting Chloe (at least from what I understood). Chloe's desk was given to an intern, so Clark isn't really sitting at Chloe's desk. So it's not like Lois is trying to get closer to Clark (even if it means pushing Chloe away) or anything like that.

[colonyofcells]

I am sure Lois still likes Chloe and is not happy about Chloe losing her job, but obviously, Lois also likes the company of Clark. It is not yet love but Lois likes to be with Clark every day at least as a friend, at first.
Lois was first introduced as somebody willing to risk her life looking for the missing Chloe so the writers need to write Lois consistently also.

[6-Super-Man -5]

I think this episode is the starting point for Clois romance.

[Jade4813]

I am sure we will find out in season 8 what follows after huggings.
My wife likes hugs everyday.

*tease*Um...how many kids you got? Because there are a lot of steps between hugging and beebees, to my understanding. Unless my dad was just trying to put the fear of you-know-what into me. ;)



I hope all the Erica fans forgive me.


Your apology is appreciated.

[Clarkgirl8]

It could be more fun if they have Clark work for it and then have Lois like "What are you doing here Smallville? You don't even like to write" or something like that, I miss those days when they were fighting all the time *sigh*

[TWLOVER03]

I think this episode is the starting point for Clois romance.

I don't think so, they'll just tease us until the end

[Autumn]

I hated Lois in this scene. I felt she was being smug. She doesn't even care that Chloe was fired. She just wants to replace her. I'm glad Clark stood up for Chloe. If she cares so much for Chloe, then why act the way she does. She's a greedy backstabber who gets everything handed to her on a silver platter.

And Clark should develop an interest in journalism himself. I hope this show doesn't become Lois and Clark: The Early Years. I'd tune out.

I don't think they were throwing us a bone. I think they were wacking us in the head with it.

I'm glad Clark turned it down. I mean, why is Lois working for Lex when she's trying to bring him down? She accepts his paychecks. I recall Lana talking to her father in an earlier season and he says something about the Vichy's and the French. Lois might need need to hear a similar speech.

For once, Clark wasn't acting like a chump. He showed some actual backbone.

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

I was pretty disappointed...not that she offered Clark the Job, but the fact that Chloe didn't even get a hug or a decent hello...What happened to all the Chlo-Lo moments. And why wasn't Lois at the hospital to see her cuz. I don't think Chloe cares about the job at this point so I can understand why Lois offered him the internship.

[Lord_Balthaazar]

I loved how much she felt pain at his pain, and the way they held each other so close and how Clark didn't turn her away in that moment, but quite the opposite, he embraced her like she was his rock in the sea. Loved it :)

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Chloe should be at the Daily Planet.

Not really. Now that Lois is at the DP, having Chloe there would just be redundant.

Not that she's shown any actual interest in wanting her job back.

[svtwamedfan05]

One question: Why was Lois even there? She was there in the morning then drove back to metroplois then back to smallville?? It didn't make sense...But w/e gotta have those anvils. :rolleyes:

Kinda like when Chloe is always there. Shouldn't she be looking for a job to pay the bills or something. :rolleyes:

Anywho I loved it. Definitely love their growing friendship and love how they really are starting to show that they care for each other now. Something is starting

[MozartRequiem]

"Clark has no reason to go work at the Daily Planet. What's wrong with being a farmer? My brother-in-law is a farmer!! I know that Clark is "supposed" to go to the Daily Planet, but he needs a MOTIVATION. I see none at this point."

Don't know if someone said this or not, but what if his motivation is the fact that Chloe is MIA in the season premiere, and he wants to investigate to figure out what happened to her? Perhaps also we will be left with Lex Luthor surviving and going off to Metropolis, his hands clean of everything he's done still to the public. This makes Clark want to become a reporter so that he can take Lex down the good ol' legal way. It makes perfect sense if done in that fashion.

[Jade4813]

Kinda like when Chloe is always there. Shouldn't she be looking for a job to pay the bills or something. :rolleyes:

Yeah...like this is the first time the writers have thrown time out the window. :lol: Chloe's in Metropolis! Ten seconds later, she's in Smallville! A minute and a half later, Metropolis again!

They have clearly perfected the art of teleportation. Nothing else makes sense.

[svtwamedfan05]

I think it shows that Lana represents keeping him in Smallville (and the farm) and Lois represents growing up and on to Metropolis.

Now that's an answer I totally agree with. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Jade4813]

I hated Lois in this scene. I felt she was being smug. She doesn't even care that Chloe was fired. She just wants to replace her. I'm glad Clark stood up for Chloe. If she cares so much for Chloe, then why act the way she does. She's a greedy backstabber who gets everything handed to her on a silver platter.

Well, I admit that I wish they'd made it clear that Lois had talked to Chloe and that Chloe was okay with it. On the other hand, it's one episode with some OOC behavior (if one chooses not to believe that such a conversation happened, and that Lois didn't know that Chloe was okay with it.)

On the other hand, there have been something like a dozen or so other episodes in which you see how much Chloe means to Lois. Chloe was in trouble and Lois declared it "National Chloe Sullivan Day." Didn't see anyone else taking Chloe out and celebrating the fact of her very existence (and continuance thereof).

So we condemn her for the one OOC episode or we write it off as being OOC? How about with every other character? Because there have been characters - even Chloe - who have acted incredibly OOC in other episodes. So either you have to try to ignore the OOCness or you have to hate every character for being written badly. Like Chloe obviously backstabbing Lois in "Arrow" and trying to steal her story.

I choose not to completely despise Chloe for her behavior towards Lois. Or I'd have burned her in effigy long ago. Because if we're going to talk backstabbing, Chloe's hands aren't exactly clean, dear.

In a show that has written the DOG OOC before, I find it incredible to believe that every other character can be perceived to have acted OOC and thus not condemned for it. But Lois is put in front of a firing squad.


I'm glad Clark turned it down. I mean, why is Lois working for Lex when she's trying to bring him down? She accepts his paychecks. I recall Lana talking to her father in an earlier season and he says something about the Vichy's and the French. Lois might need need to hear a similar speech.

Again, isn't this comment a little hypocritical? Chloe didn't exactly turn down the paychecks when she was working under him. And she didn't quit in righteous protest.

So maybe Chloe and Lois BOTH need that little speech. Because it seems to me that Chloe was still cashing her checks, and I remember reading all about how Chloe was "secretly working to bring down Lex Luthor." Her righteous indigation must have stopped at the water's edge, though, because she still kept her job for numerous episodes after Lex took over the DP.

And when she quit, it wasn't out of altruism or even the idea that it was just. She was canned, and under protest.

Any assertion otherwise - or that she had such morals that she was turning down his checks as she tried to expose Lex - at this point is mere fanwank, IMO.

For the record, it's fine if you think that Lois shouldn't be working at the DP if Lex owns it. Perfectly fine. But don't use a double standard and say, now that Chloe's out of the DP, that it's the worst thing evah when it wasn't so bad when Chloe was there. Or refuse to condemn Chloe for the same behavior. I don't mind how you feel on the subject either way, but I can't stand double standards.

[jacques]

Chloe has been working on being a reporter since she was a kid. She literally broke down when the principle was threatening to take away the Torch from her. Now Lois has what... worked at being a tabloid reporter, slept with the boss, and stolen a story from her cousin that almost got her killed...(ex. season 6 epi. Combat.) Come on I think we all know who the true reporter of the family is. Just my opinion...

[Jade4813]

Come on I think we all know who the true reporter of the family is.

The one who's still acting as a reporter?

Or the one who's shown to still be INTERESTED in being a reporter?

Oh, wait...they're both the same person. Lois.

For the record, I wish they'd written Chloe out of the DP in a different way, if that's what they wanted to do. I wish a number of things about Smallville. But they DID write her out and they DIDN'T show her trying to get her job back. So, no, I'm sorry, but saying now that she's the "true" reporter of the family is like saying that I'm the "true" veterinarian of the family because I wanted to be one for 16 years before I realized that it really wasn't my thing and switched gears. It just doesn't fly.

[jacques]

Chloe has been interested in being on the top floor of the DP for how long? Lois just jumps from one thing to next every season. First working at the Talon, then with Mr. Kent later on Mrs. Kent, then tabloid reporter now true reporter. Oh give me a break.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Blame it on the writers. They wrote Chloe out of the DP.

Regardless it's still canon.


The one who's still acting as a reporter?

Or the one who's shown to still be INTERESTED in being a reporter?

So true. :D

[Jade4813]

Chloe has been interested in being on the top floor of the DP for how long? Lois just jumps from one thing to next every season. First working at the Talon, then with Mr. Kent later on Mrs. Kent, then tabloid reporter now true reporter. Oh give me a break.

And yet, again, whether or not you like the way Lois was written into the DP or how Chloe was written out, it's hard to say that "Chloe's the true reporter" when she a) isn't reporting, and b) isn't being shown to be even the LEAST bit interested in getting back to it!

It's like saying that Al Gore is the "true Democratic nominee" for the upcoming election. Was he in the past? Certainly. Did he fight for it then? Yes. But he's no longer doing so, nor is he expressing a desire to do so. So this is no longer a true statement.

[jacques]

When has Cloe even had the chance to fight for it between trying to stop Clark from being killed... or maybe between trying to stop Lex from finding out.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

She literally broke down when the principle was threatening to take away the Torch from her.

She's changed a lot since then.

The principle threatens to take the Torch away in season 1. She panics.

Lex fires her from her dream job in season 7. 'Lex fired me. Which is fine.'

Next episode she's at Isis making (her exact words) 'a career change'.

[Jade4813]

When has Cloe even had the chance to fight for it between trying to stop Clark from being killed... or maybe between trying to stop Lex from finding out.

You don't think they could have had a three second mention? Or how about when Clark talked to her about it and she said she was happy to be out of that Black Hole.

Yeah, she's been doing other things, but if she's the true reporter, then the show should be showing her still trying to get to do reporting. During this whole last season, though, with the exception of "Fierce" we didn't see her really reporting at all. We didn't see her going out and getting stories - in "Fierce" Jimmy handed it to her and in "Action" Clark put the interview into her lap.

Where's the Chloe from early seasons who went after stories come hell or high water? Yeah, her character did other things from time to time, but she did them usually AROUND or WHILE she was shown to be working on stories.

Chloe hasn't been shown to be REPORTING in a while, and in this entire season, I haven't seen her frothing at the bit once to get out there and do it. No, she didn't like Grant's comments about her work, but did she go out in the next few episodes and bust tail to change his mind? To get her spark back? I don't think so.

Fact is, whether you like it or not, they've been slowly moving her away from being the passionate reporter she was at the Torch. And then her being fired was the final straw - particularly since we haven't even seen three seconds of her saying that she wants to either a) get back to the DP or b) get into another paper. She seemed quite happy to set up shop at ISIS. Would it have been completely unreasonable to expect, if reporting was still so important to her, a comment: "I'm glad to be able to help, Clark, but I really want to get back into the bullpen."

How about during any one of the Chimmy scenes. They're canoodling and Jimmy comments that he misses her at the DP and she comments that she really wants to get back.

Come on, there's been enough filler in Smallville this season (entire episodes, even) that they could have shown Chloe with her passion for journalism. They haven't done it. And now she seems perfectly happy to NOT be reporting - not that she was shown doing much of it before she was fired. So I can't see her as the "true" reporter because, IMO, in order for any character to have that label, she must first be shown to be actually reporting - or even trying to.

As Chloe isn't doing that or even seeming to try to do that, I can't conceive of how she can be called the "true" reporter. It's like saying Lex is the "true" good guy of the story because he USED to want to be good and really tried to be (in his own way). Yeah, it was valid once, but that day is no longer today.

[LoisL]

If Clois were going to get teary and huggy over Clana sadness in this ep, then I think it was unnecessary in Apocalypse. A little too redundant for Lois' nature. She's a big softie on the inside, we know, but the point is that she covers it up with her abrasive people skills.

I'm sorry I sound harsh but I'm just annoyed because I love Clois hugs but the timing just felt SO off!

ALso, the whole convenience anvil appearance... I thought it was funny, romantic, and classy back in "Fanatic" (?) when just as Clark's wondering about loving anyone other than Lana, Lois pulls up in the car. Or even when just as Chloe is assuring Clark that the love of his life is just around the corner and Lois shows up. The big difference between those previous scenes and this one is that Lois had a reason to be there, so there was a delightful coincidence about it, fateful oddities, w/e. This time it is pure contrivance on the writer's part. Lois has no news, no expected reason for her presence (she's not meeting Jonathan or going up to her room to sleep or arriving for an event she was invited to or anything).

I just thought it was sadly lazy. I've grown used to this in Chlark scenes but what the heck we know Chloe is devoted; she can turn up in every corner. Lois could get away with it for her trademark underfoot-edness except that, unlike in S4 or even S5-6, Lois has barely been around Clark this season!!

I'm sad and confused. Chlark has a close friendship beyond anything else in Clark's life but I've never really wanted it for Clois. Clois' iconic beauty is the love/hate, serendipitous craziness. SV slowly building a more touchy, huggy, 'good friends' Clois doesn't work for me. IMO Clois were as good friends as you could ask for their special characters back in "Lucy"; where the friendship is mostly a tease, and totally a matter of whim. Trying to go the 'good friends' route IMO is just Chlark, only more hurried.

[smallvillerocks45]

For the first time, I finally bought the fact that Clois could happen. It was a sweet moment, and I actually liked it.

[Atomic girl]

I really disliked the scene it seemed so random for this CK. I did take it as an admission by the writers that they do realize that CK is supposed to end up at the DP. So, now they have to come up with a reasonable way to get CK there, not this way......

[Batman/Superman#1]

As i said before a relationship probably wont be seen in the series.

[jacques]

If you were in her position would you still be working for Lex the man who kidnapped you and put an hole in your chest. She couldn't truly do any writing because Lex made sure everything she did was censored. I mean come on, her cousin made it out of the basement before she did and we all know it wasn't for her reporting skills.

[AlwaysRight]

I just like the fact Lois will be the one who gets Clark into Journalism :)

while i don't think the scene was the greatest writing how they did it, it will be fun holding that over Chloe fans heads :P

[harryandginnyfanatic]

If you were in her position would you still be working for Lex the man who kidnapped you and put an hole in your chest.

It's not like she remembers it. Her memory was erased.


She couldn't truly do any writing because Lex made sure everything she did was censored.

Lois is the one getting her stories killed by Lex. Not Chloe.

He only bought the DP so he could control her.

A lot of good it did him though. Lois is still investigating him.


I mean come on, her cousin made it out of the basement before she did and we all know it wasn't for her reporting skills.

Last I looked, Lois was still in the basement.

[Atomic girl]

I was OK with the hug until it lasted so long. The length of it seemed OOC (to me) for Lois. This is the same girl that gave CK dirty looks when he held her hand while she lay in a hospital bed, and Clark was happy to see that she was OK. I took that as a friendly hand hold, but she didn't. Lois just isn't known for her soft side. (I kind of like that about Lois, it seems to suit her playing with the BIG Boys at the DP.) If Chloe had given him the hug it would have seemed more consoling.

[Jade4813]

She couldn't truly do any writing because Lex made sure everything she did was censored.

1) Again, nice argument. Except she didn't quit. She got fired. After being fired, you can tell yourself all kinds of things about how you "WOULD have quit just as soon as..." But the fact of the matter is...you didn't. Chloe didn't. She didn't turn in her resume to other papers. In fact, she seemed to be ducking and covering to KEEP her job. So sanctimoniousness here isn't working. She didn't take the high road. She got canned.

I can understand her wanting to stick around cuz a girl has to eat, but then don't go pretending that she got on her high horse and quit. Not only did she not get on that high horse, that horse was nowhere around. It had long since been turned to glue.

2) Okay, yeah, I could buy her "not being able to do any writing" if it was about Lex...if it showed her trying. I don't recall her even doing that. So, one presumes that she should have been working on SOMETHING. Or she was taking DP money and not doing a darn thing but playing on her computer. Like men who look at porn all day instead of working. An interesting use of time, maybe, but not what she's getting paid to do. So by that argument, her ethics are dubious at best...making point 1 even more ludicrous of an assertion.

Fact was, she wasn't scrambling to get out of the DP. She wasn't trying to report on Lex. She wasn't even seeking out other papers at which she could get her hypothetical story (that she wasn't working on) printed! And she wasn't, incidentally, trying to get Lex out of the DP.

She could sit there all day and whine about it, but if you're going to sit back and whine and not do anything about it, you're not being very proactive.

Yeah, Lex would have censored her stories about him. But would Chloe in S1-S3 have let that stop her? Or would she have said "damn the torpedoes!" gotten the story, collected her evidence, and gone to ANOTHER paper if she had to in order to get it printed? Or at the very least used it to get his corrupt rear away from the DP helm.

Sorry, but there's nothing noble about doing nothing to fix the situation if it bothers you as much as I keep hearing Lex being at the DP bothered Chloe. That's like saying you hate the politicians currently in office but when election time comes around, you can't be bothered to vote. If it bothers you - if this bothered her - she should have done something about it. She did nothing, and there is no excuse for that.

Unless, of course, it just didn't mean that much to her.

3) I do believe Lois is still in the basement, dear. I don't remember her getting a major promotion. So clearly, she wasn't sleeping her way anywhere. But, hey, it's always nice to just bash a character, isn't it? Not always accurate, but it does give a petty flavor to arguments. :rolleyes:

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----


Lois is the one getting her stories killed by Lex. Not Chloe.

He only bought the DP so he could control her.

A lot of good it did him though. Lois is still investigating him.


Apparently, though, according to the argument this addresses, it worked pretty well on Chloe. He wanted to control Chloe. He did so quite effectively. And then he fired her. And for all her pretty threats to him, I don't remember her taking him down at the end of this season...and sadly, she won't get a chance to do so next season, it seems.

So...one character, attempted to be controlled. Doesn't work. Is still investigating him.
One other character, attempted to be controlled. Does work. Doesn't investigate him. Doesn't expose him. Doesn't even so much as try.

Right. I'm failing to see how Chloe is the "real" reporter more and more as this argument goes on.

[Jade4813]

I was OK with the hug until it lasted so long.

I don't know...I don't think she's the type to normally hug for that long, it's true. But this guy wasn't just holding her hand when she's in the hospital, telling her he's glad she's okay. He's WEEPING. Grieving. Trust me, I'm not a hugger...I give about a three second max on how long I can tolerate it. But when my friend came to me because her fiance had just told her that he didn't love her (never had), but he was willing to share her bed for six months to give her time to convince him to stick around...let's just say that the hug lasted for long, long minutes. (Maybe an hour. Or a year. Possibly an eternity. Seriously, I am NOT good with hugging.)

But when someone's grieving, holding you that tight, you don't just push away even if it's in your nature to do so. Not if the person holding you is your friend.

You suck it up and hold them until they can stand on their own again.

[SV'S_immortal_hero]

this is my 1st ever post on these stupid chlois debates as i find them too ridiculous to care about

now all i can say is that if by your reasoning the length of time a person had working in a certain job qualifies them to be in the job more than others then i guess clark kent should never be a superhero and take ollies place or the rest of the JLA because clark has not showed the will to go out and help others simply because he can make a difference, but guess what we all know clark kent leaves smallville to become superman THE HERO that all heroes themselves look upto

so to say that simply because lois hasnt had much time as a reporter so she shouldnt be known as 1 compared to chloes time being a journalist and working as a reporter so should is wrong

plus even though lex is gone tess will be taking over all lexs assests and yes that includes the DP i doubt chloe will get back into the DP to write stories about lex

so that leaves the little papers

and as for the Isis foundation well since lana is well again we will have to see just what lana plans to do with it either shutting it down or comes back to let chloe take over

[harryandginnyfanatic]

and as for the Isis foundation well since lana is well again we will have to see just what lana plans to do with it either shutting it down or comes back to let chloe take over

I think Chloe will take over.

Now that she relates more with the meteor infected, (being one herself) she'll probably want to keep helping them.

And with all those computers she'll be right at home.

[Atomic girl]

I am a hugger, and it still seemed weird to me. I get what you are saying, and of course I wouldn't pull away, but it seemed Lois's first instinct was to hug him, which I thought was a bit OOC for her. She kind of runs to him to give him a hug. The hug reminded me of the one Clark gave to Lana in Hidden when she found out that Clark was still alive, also the one that Martha and Clark shared when Clark finally grieved for his father in Vengeance. But again, I see both of those hugs as being in character with Martha and Lana. I guess it's all a perspective thing.

[maryjanewatson]

I think she did it because Clark was there to hug her when she was crying over oliver.

Yeah, Lex would have censored her stories about him. But would Chloe in S1-S3 have let that stop her? Or would she have said "damn the torpedoes!" gotten the story, collected her evidence, and gone to ANOTHER paper if she had to in order to get it printed? Or at the very least used it to get his corrupt rear away from the DP helm.

Sorry, but there's nothing noble about doing nothing to fix the situation if it bothers you as much as I keep hearing Lex being at the DP bothered Chloe. That's like saying you hate the politicians currently in office but when election time comes around, you can't be bothered to vote. If it bothers you - if this bothered her - she should have done something about it. She did nothing, and there is no excuse for that.

Unless, of course, it just didn't mean that much to her.

You don't think Lex would have her blacklisted even before the story (any story involving Lex's extracurricular activities.) made it to another station?

[Vergon6]

As I understand it, when Lex bought the Daily Planet in the comics, he kept on Lois and Jimmy, and Lois kept on working there. So this literal character assassination of Lois in this particular instance is a bit misplaced, as it was likely supposed to parallel that similar circumstance in the comics.

For the record, I don't think this will be a light switch for Clark. As soon as Lex is out of the way, I doubt Clark will hand in an application. It's more likely that he will only join the bullpen in the series finale. If they can't get Michael McKean to make a cameo for that, perhaps they will have some line by Clark saying that the 'new editor' or 'Perry White' hired him because he owed him a favor or something along those lines.

And what is with people saying Clark is taking Chloe's job, even if he takes this. We have had this discussion in other threads, but people keep on bringing it up. The dialogue clearly states that an intern from the bullpen was promoted to Chloe's old desk, so there is an internship opening. Clark would be taking the internship, not Chloe's job. But it may be a moot issue come early Season 8 if Clark doesn't send in an application, and there was no indication from that scene that he actually would.

[Minela]

I'll take your word on it. ;) My breasts are probably fine, since my friend is currently using one of them for a pillow. On the other hand, mammary obsession is possibly unhealthy. ;)

Besides, when you think about it...I still think Clark is too scared of boobies to be all that adept at evaluating them, even when they're pressed against him. ;)

Yeah... poor thing. :lol:

[4CHLicks]

It was an obvious parallel of Martha Kent hugging Clark when he starts to cry from loosing his Dad after he sees his Dad on video on the home tv. EDLois hugged Clark when he started to cry from loosing Lana after he sees Lana's good-bye on video on the home tv. EDLois was being Clark's "mother"/family member. Nothing romantic about it.

[Minela]

You guys seem to forget that in "Apocalypse" Lois went in for a hug (therefore with Clark that is a natural reaction for her now), but ended with an awkward punch, this time the situation seemed more serious, she was so touched by his grief that she teared up herself and let her guard down and hugged him. It was beautiful, and I think the longest hug to date on Smallville.

[KalEl's Destiny]

Did anyone catch the tease with Lois handing Clark an application to the Daily Planet? Clark totally turned it down but it's def. gotta happen in Season 8 you would think right?

[Theshadow129x]

I didnt like that. Its not a simple application for a person to just pick up to get a job at the planet...Clark hasnt showed any interest in journalism. I hated that.

[KalEl's Destiny]

I didnt like that. Its not a simple application for a person to just pick up to get a job at the planet...Clark hasnt showed any interest in journalism. I hated that.

Yeah, good point. And I agree, it seemed like they were making it like he could just walk onto the job and easily have it. Plus I don't think Clark would ever want to work for Lex (especially after what has escalated now...maybe we'll see a Perry White appearance?) I wonder how or when they're going to have him show any kind of interest in journalism then if at all next season?

[EDIT] Sorry Mods, didn't see the earlier topic - my fault!

[LoveHurts38]

To be honest I am just going to see how it will play out in S8...It probably won't even be mentioned in the first part of the season.

[Green-Arrow28]

When Clark was watching the tape from lana and lois came in
lana sad "I need you but the world needs you more"

you would have thaught lois would be thinking WTF....

dont know if anyone else thaught the same:rotfl:

[LoveHurts38]

Yes, they held each other so close and it she was there just when his world was turning. Poor Clark being dumped.

[jimmyolsenblues]

for all of lois's punching clark in the shoulder and being tough and army brattiest, lois had tears in her eyes for clark's sorrow, it was a touching scene.

[jesslang]

i thought it was sweet when they both hugged each other ...she knew how much he loved clark...aww....no more clana....:(

[Ryudo]

When Clark was watching the tape from lana and lois came in
lana sad "I need you but the world needs you more"

you would have thaught lois would be thinking WTF....

dont know if anyone else thaught the same:rotfl:
Actually, Lois came in right after Lana said that.

[skylar]

That was the best part of the episode for me. It was sweet for Lois to show Clark that she cares for him too. The hug was long, and they helded each other so close. Clark now knows Lois has a sensitive side to her.

[skylar]

Lois just wanted to help Clark move to more better things then just staying on the farm all day. She doesn't know what Clark does other than what she see.

[jesslang]

well...i think it would be good if he worked at the daily planet ..but what about chole.?

[oberyn]

It's a lightswitch. In traditional Superman, he works at the Daily Planet so he can follow breaking news. That's not necessary in the Smallvile story, because Clark is not out to rescue kittens from trees or stop bank robbers. He's got extra-terrestrial villians to deal with. I'm not that familiar with the Justice League, but don't they use the Watchtower to monitor the world? Smallville is closer to that right now.

It might have been a lightswitch if he'd actually filled out the application and accepted a job offerAs it stands, it was just another Smallville "anvil", reminding us that Clark Kent will one day work at the Daily Planet. :rolleyes:

[myankskent]

for all of lois's punching clark in the shoulder and being tough and army brattiest, lois had tears in her eyes for clark's sorrow, it was a touching scene.

And an important scene. It just proves that when all kidding is pushed aside, Lois really does care about Clark and I believe that feeling is mutual on Clark's end as well. It's not going to lead to a romance at this point, but this level of closeness needs to be shown in order to set up the romance later on.

[WickedJenn]

If you were in her position would you still be working for Lex the man who kidnapped you and put an hole in your chest. She couldn't truly do any writing because Lex made sure everything she did was censored. I mean come on, her cousin made it out of the basement before she did and we all know it wasn't for her reporting skills.

Jade already addressed Lois being in the basement still, so I'll leave that one alone.

As far as Lois being hired in general (and this aspect seems to be constantly overlooked) Grant told Lois in "Blue" why he hired her--for her article that she did after she went undercover in "Combat" S6. He even mentioned it being an "edge of your seat" read. He also said something along the lines of wanting to hire her BEFORE he even saw her face. Whether you choose to believe Grant or not is fine, but that's how she was hired according to the show.

[WickedJenn]

Very well said. When you look back on this past season, we've seen Lois and Clark get much closer frienship-wise. They shared a hug in "Bizarro", albeit it was short and a bit awkward. Then there was "Siren"--we've never really seen Lois open up THIS much before to Clark, it was very moving. I'd say this scene in "Arctic" was just as emotional...and the fact that Lois wasn't awkward or fidgety, she just went straight over to Clark and took him in her arms. I think they've managed to work them getting to be closer friends nicely despite Erica's 13 epi limit AND even with the writer's strike.

[Joelito]

I love the scene, too.
To be honest, for me, the best escene of the season finale.

[superpal1]

Go Clois.

[Ryudo]

I think that the Apocalypse experience made Clark realize that Lois isn't just the shrewd, shallow, bossy, etc woman he thought she was. Which I think he'd been slowly realizing over the course of this season, especially with their scene in Siren, but seeing as how there were multiple parallels between AU Lois and SV Lois, he probably came to the realization that she would be a good friend if he let her in.

Plus, we don't know how long they stayed at the bar, or the Ace o' Clubs, or whatever, and talked. He could have born his heart to the woman for all we know. He never has been comfortable talking to Chloe about his relationship with Lana, but Lois probably gave him someone to talk to about the whole deal, making her presence and the hug even more sensible.

I think that her presence worked well into the scene. The imagery of her conveniently coming in right after Lana's "the world needs you" line so Lois wouldn't hear anything was amusing. The looks they shared, the sadness emanating from Clark and the sympathy coming off Lois, was touching. The song was perfect for the scene, with the director, sound guy, or whoever perfectly timing the first verse, "I saw you across a crowded room and was paralyzed" during the breakup vid, and then "i wonder if you've noticed that you've changed my life" during the Lois and Clark moment... that was just brilliant. It was touching. It made sense that, on her way home (Lois still lives at the Talon, kids), Lois probably wanted to drop by the farm and try to continue talking Clark into taking the job at the Planet.

It gave us some insight into the friendship that has slowly been building for three years now. It's deepening, as most friendships do. At some point in time, probably not on the show (unfortunately), Lois and Clark WILL get together. What better way to keep growing together as friends by having her there at the time when Clark's romantic world (he had been pining after whiny Lana for the entire existence of the show) came crashing down around him? It makes perfect sense for her to be there. Anvil moment? Sure. But a good one.

[Green-Arrow28]

Actually, Lois came in right after Lana said that.


ok my bad

[Jade4813]

You don't think Lex would have her blacklisted even before the story (any story involving Lex's extracurricular activities.) made it to another station?

MAYBE. But then again, MAYBE NOT. If she wanted to get Lex out of the DP (which one would really hope she did, as even *I* wanted him out of the DP) why not try? Yeah, he could have blacklisted the hell out of her. Or maybe she could have found someone to print the story. Even if it was at a trash rag like the Inquisitor, she could have gotten it in print - and yes, the Inquisitor prints trash, but they also broke the Green Arrow story, that other venues then picked up. So SOMEBODY could have read it and it could have gone somewhere.

Alternatively, she could have continued to investigate and then gone to the FBI or the police to show them her evidence to get Lex thrown in jail. He wouldn't be filling too many of his editor's duties behind bars.

Point is she didn't even TRY.

To my recollection this is the second time she's been blacklisted. The first time, she was so determined to get her story printed that she asked that it be done under a pseudonym. This time...? We didn't even see her do a Google search to take down the man. Pretty big difference.

Either way, if she had such a big problem with Lex, she should have done something about it. Succeed or fail, she should have tried. Because, again, you have no real right to complain about your situation if you don't try to fix it. Don't cry me a river - DO SOMETHING.

Lex being in charge of the DP is a big deal. She didn't like it, and there's good reason for her not to do so. So, in order to fix this situation, she...she...hold on, she...wait...she...um...I think she filed things. Did that address the situation? Was that EVER going to get Lex out from behind the helm of the DP? Was that EVER going to help ensure that there could be truth in reporting at that paper again?

No. But it was a good way for her to TRY to keep her job. Not a good way to make sure that her job would have meaning. But it was a good way for her to try to keep it.

In LnC, Lex Luthor took over the Planet. And Perry, Jack, Jimmy, and Clark all banded together to try to get his butt out of there. Worked pretty well, too. Even if you ignore the part where Lex was going to be arrested, Perry managed to find someone who would buy the paper right out from under him. He didn't invest any capital himself. He tracked down someone who'd be likely to want the paper Lex Luthor owned, met with him. And gave him an impassioned speech.

Chloe didn't even do that. And she's pretty good at impassioned speeches.

She didn't TRY to report it. She didn't TRY to investigate it. She didn't even TRY to find another way to get Lex out of there. She did absolutely NOTHING.

And, you know, a lot of people would. A lot of people would be more concerned about their paychecks and would sit back and hope the world would get better. I'm not going to judge them - I know how important food is. But if someone acts that way, I'm not going to pretend they were a) noble, b) acting "justly" or c) really, really, really worked up about it and REFUSING to work under Lex Luthor because he's just "Evol!"

I think Chloe from early seasons would have DONE SOMETHING. She didn't do anything here. Not one single blessed thing except have a brain lapse that, IMO, she also shouldn't have had and get herself fired. That's fine. I don't like that this is how they did it, but fine.

But given that this is what they did, I think there's absurdity in any argument that would lambast Lois for remaining at the DP - while, incidentally, trying to take down Lex (as "Arctic" proved) - as if it's the worst thing ever when a) CHLOE DID IT TOO and b) CHLOE didn't actually have a problem being at the DP, but while she was working for the King of Evil, SHE didn't see fit to try to rectify the situation.

Will Lois succeed in taking Lex down and getting him in jail (well, would she if he stuck around)? Doubtful. In other media, his exploits are reported upon and he's wily enough to stay out of prison. Would she get the paper to print the story on him? Doubtful again, while he's at the helm.

Could she go to another paper - even if it's a global paper in Gotham city - and get it printed? Yeah, I'm willing to bet if she had a solid story with proof, she could. And even if she couldn't, could she conceivably go to the FBI, the POLICE, or even a competitor with her story and, at the very least, get Lex ousted from his position at the DP so that there could be truth in journalism again? Absolutely.

At the very least, she'd TRY. Which is more than they showed Chloe doing, IMO.

[baltazor]

Well since apocalypse Lois seems to be more and more drawn to Clark...

[Eri-El]

This scene was awesome..........and the fact that Lois came to the farm earlier that day to try to "Recruit" Clark for the DP shows that she wants him to be closer to her more of the time:D

[Jade4813]

It was an obvious parallel of Martha Kent hugging Clark when he starts to cry from loosing his Dad after he sees his Dad on video on the home tv. EDLois hugged Clark when he started to cry from loosing Lana after he sees Lana's good-bye on video on the home tv. EDLois was being Clark's "mother"/family member. Nothing romantic about it.

Or a parallel to Clark holding Lois in Siren. When he was being her freind/confidant.

He comforted her when her heart was broken.
She comforted him when his heart was broken.

I agree that it wasn't "romantic" in the sense that I don't think they were going to end the night making sweet, sweet love against the refrigerator. But I do think they were setting up that Clark and Lois have grown close and that there will be some romantic developments between the two of them next season. We probably won't see them together until the very end, but I think they'll make it clear both people are looking at the other somewhat differently.

[JLedge]

Yay for Clois foreshadowing! :)

[Lara Lane]

I agree that it wasn't "romantic" in the sense that I don't think they were going to end the night making sweet, sweet love against the refrigerator.

Agreed as well, it was a good example of their friendship and care for each other. Right now they are just good friends who are there for each other. TPTB are clearly showing with this scene there is nothing romantic here yet, otherwise they would have shown us other kinds of reactions.

[WickedJenn]

[Eri-El]

Also they way that Lois & Clark looked at each other right before she ran to him......Speaking to each other without words....that they Understood each other....The same way that Jonathan and Martha used to do all the time.......Just awesome......

[WickedJenn]

Ooh I had forgotten about that, nice parallel!

[DailyPlanetFan]

If Clois were going to get teary and huggy over Clana sadness in this ep, then I think it was unnecessary in Apocalypse. A little too redundant for Lois' nature. She's a big softie on the inside, we know, but the point is that she covers it up with her abrasive people skills.

I'm sorry I sound harsh but I'm just annoyed because I love Clois hugs but the timing just felt SO off!

ALso, the whole convenience anvil appearance... I thought it was funny, romantic, and classy back in "Fanatic" (?) when just as Clark's wondering about loving anyone other than Lana, Lois pulls up in the car. Or even when just as Chloe is assuring Clark that the love of his life is just around the corner and Lois shows up. The big difference between those previous scenes and this one is that Lois had a reason to be there, so there was a delightful coincidence about it, fateful oddities, w/e. This time it is pure contrivance on the writer's part. Lois has no news, no expected reason for her presence (she's not meeting Jonathan or going up to her room to sleep or arriving for an event she was invited to or anything).

I just thought it was sadly lazy. I've grown used to this in Chlark scenes but what the heck we know Chloe is devoted; she can turn up in every corner. Lois could get away with it for her trademark underfoot-edness except that, unlike in S4 or even S5-6, Lois has barely been around Clark this season!!

I'm sad and confused. Chlark has a close friendship beyond anything else in Clark's life but I've never really wanted it for Clois. Clois' iconic beauty is the love/hate, serendipitous craziness. SV slowly building a more touchy, huggy, 'good friends' Clois doesn't work for me. IMO Clois were as good friends as you could ask for their special characters back in "Lucy"; where the friendship is mostly a tease, and totally a matter of whim. Trying to go the 'good friends' route IMO is just Chlark, only more hurried.

I think there a ton of reasons Lois would show up. Chloe just got out of the hospital, for one, maybe she doesn't know Chloe's with Jimmy and thought she would be with Clark (which would be a pretty fair guess, I think). Or she could just be showing up to badger him about the application she gave him that morning. Or she could be asking him advice about the lies Jimmy just fed her. Or anything else she wanted to tell him. The fact is, Lois DID have a reason to be there, the reason was just forgotten when she realized that Clark is grieving over his break up with Lana, and she realized he needed a shoulder to cry on. Hence, "screw whyever I came over here, Clark needs me right now".

[4CHLicks]

Or a parallel to Clark holding Lois in Siren. When he was being her freind/confidant.

He comforted her when her heart was broken.
She comforted him when his heart was broken. Agreed. That's what friends do for each other.

We probably won't see them together until the very end, but I think they'll make it clear both people are looking at the other somewhat differently.
By the same criteria then, there must have been many, many foreshadowings of romantic development of Chlark in every season, because there have many, many hugs between them. Sheer volume of Chlark hugs alone should convince you, Jade, of the PTB's romantic intentions for Chlark rather than Clois!!:)

BTW, I may have to modify my 13 parallels between EDLois and SV!Lana up to 14 parallels because of that Clois hug immediately after the Clana video. It was clearly ushering out Clana 1.0 and making a comparative parallel portait to Clana 3.0, Clois.

[DontCha]

I've said it once and i'll say it again..I love the anvils and what makes them oh so awesome in Smallville is the usage of mise en scene, staging and sountrack As lois says you'll realize you're not really saving fopr a bike..you're saving for a harley:

I just love how when he breaks up with lana, Lois enters.


goodbye kiddie bike, you've been good to clarky..its now time he grew up and got a Harley.

The soundtrack picked for this message is just fantastic:

Clark looks at Lois
Lois in shot:
"I wonder if you'll notice, that you'll change my life....
cut to clark emotional music, looking at lois
cut back to Lois:
"I wonder if you'll notice that you'll change my life"
They Hug:
"you're perfect"

That she is..she is your perfect match and she will change your life forever.

Go clois...awesome scene right there. Well done to the writers and director.

[Jade4813]

Sheer volume of Chlark hugs alone should convince you, Jade, of the PTB's romantic intentions for Chlark rather than Clois!!:)

How did you get that I was saying there was romance between Clark and Lois from me saying that it wasn't a romantic hug?

Yes, Clark and Lois are growing closer, as evidenced by their hug.

Yes, Chloe and Clark have hugged in Smallville.

Lois and Clark are growing close. Chloe and Clark have grown close. But if "growing closer" automatically leads to romantic entaglement, then a number of people are downright fickle in their attentions. Also possibly committing incest.

You can be close with someone without there being romance (Chlark).
You can grow close with someone and develop romance (Clois).


BTW, I may have to modify my 13 parallels between EDLois and SV!Lana up to 14 parallels because of that Clois hug immediately after the Clana video. It was clearly ushering out Clana 1.0 and making a comparative parallel portait to Clana 3.0, Clois.

she quite literally enters the second clark loses Lana

[yoda1138777]

The writers missed again, It would have been the greatest scene ever if they would have had whitesnake playing in the background :( The hug was long because Clark remembered what she looked like neked out of the shower. :)

OMG!!!!! THAT'S THE FUNNIEST PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[Odysseus]

Agreed. It was a great scene. This scene, and the one where Lois gives Clark the Daily Planet application were two great Clois moments

[Humdinger]

Great, but too brief.

[Twitch]

I can't stop laughing at that picture! :lol:

[smvlladdict]

Sucked!!!! So Obvious Hello Cbs

[LoveHurts38]

Well, All I can say it was a great scene and I love the shot before it went to commercial.

[jimmyolsenblues]

who I am kidding, I love every clois scene.

[All about Clark]

It was definitely a great scene, the hug and emotion was so genuine.

Even though it was about Lana, Lois showed Clark that she can be tender and loving and that is something that leads them to be in love.

Not to mention, that she wants him with her at the DP, how sweet. I feel that Lois really does want Clark but knows his brain is elsewhere right now, so being supportive is her only move at this point.

[Pink Hurricane]

It was a cute scene by itself, though I have to say it was a little strange for me. It seems like not to long ago they were at each others throats, and while they have been growing closer, it was a little wierd and seems like they might be pushing it a little. At least in my opinion. Then again, who couldn't look at Tom Welling/Clark in that scene and not want to hold him. I guess its the start of something new, but I couldn't help thinking that it should have been Chloe in that scene >.> But then again, that's the chlarker in me.

However, I don't think it was the start of any type of love affair. It was a clana thing. Lois saw her friend hurt and she was there for him. I think that was as far as it went. They're working on building their friendship.

[eas]

who I am kidding, I love every clois scene.

Ditto. They can have a scene where the two are just sitting in the same room and not even talking and I'll love it.

[neo0721]

Yea the break up video and the lois comforting clark was a very emotional scene.

it was a dvd not a video

[nk_84]

she was been a friend, but they are making them get closer emotionally so Clark will eventually have a thing for her. right now he cares, eventually it'll be more than that.

[eas]

I don't think this is the first time we've seen them get closer. The Clois scenes have been building up to this moment since the beginning. And it definitely began to get more obvious what good friends they were in S6. Back when Lois was dating Ollie, it was Clark she went to when she thought Ollie was the Green Arrow. And they had a very blunt conversation about Lois liking Ollie so much she wouldn't even care if he was from Mars. So, this season, when she cried on his shoulder in "Siren" it seemed very natural to me. It didn't come out of left field. And then the natural progression to that was their moment in "Apocolypse" when she catches him trying to find cures for Lana. And because of that brief scene, it made perfect sense to me that Lois felt so bad for Clark when she saw the dvd and his expression. Because she knew how badly Clark had been affected by Lana's condition and she believes that they were this perfect couple (her words to him in "Siren"). So it was very believable to me that she broke down when she found him that way. It wasn't about Lana, to me. It was all about how Lois feels about Clark and how much she loves him. (And, yes, I do think she loves him. She's not romantically in love with him, but I think she loves him as a friend.)

[morphs]

They definitely had a moment. Nothing must get in the way of Chloe and Clark being together though!

[supertayon]

I thaught last nights episode rocked. I loved the first scene with Lois trying to convince Clark to join the bull pen (she is the only one that really sees potential in his reporter skills) and she was flirty in a Lois sorta way which I loved. I loved the last scene that showed Lana finally leaving him (its enough already with herLOL) and turn around to see Lois his true love. The story of Clark and Lois is legendary and Tom Wellings and Erica Durance are the perfect pair for this modern interpretation. Their chemistry is great, they look great together, and they both play their roles to perfection. CAN"T WAIT TO SEE THE LOVE BLOOM in season 8!!:)

I couldn't vote because there isn't an option for "contrived".

[Mr.Magic]

well...i think it would be good if he worked at the daily planet ..but what about chole.?

It's pure speculation, but I'd say she starts working for the government. They could tie that in pretty well with the big bad of season 8 (and I like the idea of a government contact that doesn't need to ask CK to go fetch Superman).


Whether you choose to believe Grant or not is fine, but that's how she was hired according to the show.

Grant hired Lois because Lex said so. And Lex said so because he was worried. Reading people is/was Lex' greatest asset, and he knows, that Lois is like a pitbull and would dig until she finds bones. He wanted to distract her, even going to the length of taking the DP over completely.

That makes sense, or maybe she'll start working for Oliver and the JLA. Judging by the way they're writing her character I don't think it's likely she'll be going back to the DP.

[cygnusx1]

I don't think this is the first time we've seen them get closer. The Clois scenes have been building up to this moment since the beginning. And it definitely began to get more obvious what good friends they were in S6. Back when Lois was dating Ollie, it was Clark she went to when she thought Ollie was the Green Arrow. And they had a very blunt conversation about Lois liking Ollie so much she wouldn't even care if he was from Mars. So, this season, when she cried on his shoulder in "Siren" it seemed very natural to me. It didn't come out of left field. And then the natural progression to that was their moment in "Apocolypse" when she catches him trying to find cures for Lana. And because of that brief scene, it made perfect sense to me that Lois felt so bad for Clark when she saw the dvd and his expression. Because she knew how badly Clark had been affected by Lana's condition and she believes that they were this perfect couple (her words to him in "Siren"). So it was very believable to me that she broke down when she found him that way. It wasn't about Lana, to me. It was all about how Lois feels about Clark and how much she loves him. (And, yes, I do think she loves him. She's not romantically in love with him, but I think she loves him as a friend.)


to add to that, in the kara episode when clark told lois he was leaving smallville to go up north, that caught her offguard and she showed in a roundabout way that she really did care for him. although it is usually a punch to the shoulder

[4Clana]

Seriously, I think they have been working in the second half of this season to develop trust and friendship between Lois and Clark. The hug in Siren (nicely paralleled here, as others have mentioned); their interactions in the AU in Apocalypse; Lois taking Clark out for a beer in the RW in the same episode; and now Lois comforting him over the death of Clana.
IA, I thought it was really sweet.

[ginnyfan]

None of the above. Lois was being a good friend to Clark the way he was to her in Siren. She probably took one look at him and remembered how devastated she was when Oliver forgot about her with all her sexy getaway luggage.

[StrippedSmile]

I thought it was sweet, but definitely just friendly. It could spur something [well of course it'll spur something..but...y'know,] but not any time soon.

[RJLCyberPunk]

Considering that the show has now taken a path to please the canon character haters it really does not matter anymore...

[PepsiMax]

That scene was awesome!!!

[Angelina2809]

i loved that scene too!
clark had tears in his eyes (lois saw tears in clark's eyes just once - as alicia died)
lois face was full of sorry and sadness. she knew how much clark loved lana and she felt with him. clark was always there for lois too. as she had to leave oliver in this season and he huged her as she cried about that.
it was a emotional moment between clark and lois as clark get me video tape from lana.
i loved it as she said: "I'M SO SORRY" - so sweet.
clark needed this from her right now. someone who is there for him.
all the people in clark's life are leaving him or they are dying.
(like in lana's life)
like clark said to lois: "YOU ARE A GOOD FRIEND".
and she is a good friend. she is a person who do not want to show other people her pain.
she always wants to be the powerful woman and that nothing can hurt her but it isn't so.
she is like clark in this way. both want to be strong!
anyway, i love this clois hug scene! and i want to see more of it.

[Minela]

They definitely had a moment. Nothing must get in the way of Chloe and Clark being together though!

Except destiny. :D

Sorry, I had to throw that in. ;)

[AlwaysRight]

don't forget the mythos as well

[ginnyfan]

Oh Angelina2809 what a beautiful post! I got a little misty eyed. :)

[Sadistic]

Lois will never be with Clark in this series. All this shows is Lois cares for Clark more than she lets on. It will be years before she lets herself understand more.
Well, all we'll get is another season. It better happen soon.

[AlwaysRight]

Well, all we'll get is another season. It better happen soon.

I'd rather they just show hints next season then actual romance. Let Clark become Superman first then get Lois

[supercatmom]

When I first saw the scene, I loved it. Lana saying goodbye to Clark and Lois running to hold Clark while he cried. Lana, his past and Lois, his future.

But after the show ended and I thought about it, I changed my mind. Lana breaking up with Clark, again somebody else making a decision for Clark. Lana left because she was holding him back, with her around he could not make a decision on his own to become a superhero and help the world.

And him falling into Lois's arms, he could not have Lana, the love of his life, so he will settle for Lois, the rebound girl.

[Mr.Magic]

I thought we get a rebound-girl imported next season? Tess, or whatsherface?

Lois already had her rebound-Luthor.

[Lonnie]

I just got one thing to say... I love these guys! I love their banter and their friendship. I don't care if they are together or not, I'm just happy to see them on screen together ^_^

More moments like that please I loved it (aswell as the scene she tried to convince him to apply for a job on DP)

Beautiful said Angelina2809 I thought the hug scene was a great transition from Lana to Lois and it was very emotional and it shows that Lois Loves Clark maybe not in such romantic way but as a friend. And when Clark turns around and sees her he trys to hold back his tears and she runs to him that was very eloquently done.I love how she said "I'm so sorry" and they rocked back and fourth.

And guys did you notice the back ground music...when Clark was watching Lana's message she says "And please don't come after me.", right after that line the lyrics of the back ground song were "And I'M Paralyzed, And I'M Paralyzed". This referred to the Clark and Lana relationship and how deep it was and how distrout Clark was at the moment.

When Clark turns around and sees Lois the lyrics are "And wonder if you noticed that you've changed my life" now this line can be refering both to Lois and Lana but the eye contact was between Clark and Lois,but I guess it could go both ways.

Plus the Line "And wonder if you noticed that you've changed my life" was repeated twice maybe once for Lana in his past and now for Lois in the present.

However when Clark and Lois are hugging and swaying they zoom out and the last lyric of the song is "Your Perfect" for me this was referring to Lois, that there finally has been a shift in the tides. I just thought the scene was so precious and beautiful done even if Clark was watching a video, I felt for both Lana and Clark but was happy Lois was there for him. And I admit I did cry a tear or two. So this is what I think any thoughts guys?
Hope to see more Clark and Lois Dynamic in the future!;)

[supercatmom]

Your right Mr Magic - Lois is the rebound girl first, Aquaman, second, green arrow, third, Julian Luther, fourth, Green Arrow again.

Now enters Clark Kent?

You don't make any sense.

AC and Lois never had a relationship, just an infatuation and a kiss.
She really liked Ollie, and she tried to move on with Julian.
There wasn't a second relationship with Mr. Queen either.

If you think one kiss equates romance you should worry about Clark.

Chloe - Lana - Kyla - Lana - Alicia - Lana - Brainwash-Lady - Lana - Lois - Lana, I am sure I forgot a few and will spare you the other Chloe kisses.

[Alicia Chipy]

Anvils,Schmanvils...I'll talke a dose of Clois in ANY shape or form!:p
Seriously, the scene shows two very different individuals who will gradually GROW to be perfect for each other.;)

[harryandginnyfanatic]

It's cool how Lois's last scene in the episode, for the season, is with Clark.

[sherban1988]

I love love love LOVE how Lois keeps getting called the rebound girl :lol:
I bet my brand new PC that if he were to hook up with Chloe, SHE wouldn't be called the rebound girl. Noooo, she'd be the perfect choice, love of his life an' all that stuff.
Jeez, gotta love the one-sided comments

[eas]

Personally, I have to say that I think that the Clois on this show is the ones things the kind of done right. Naturally, Clois shippers would have liked for things to go faster. (Like... um... lots of shower sex in every episode. LOL)

But, of course, the show couldn't do that. So, they started the two out as kind of friends (with an obvious attraction for each other) and then moved on to kind of bantering partners... and then, slowly, their friendship evolved. We got S6 and Ollie saying that Clark was one of Lois's best friends (and he didn't correct Ollie). We had the "Hydro" kiss and Clark's awesome expression afterwards. And, then, we had "Crimson" where Clark realized how much he wants to kiss Lois and Lois realized that she must have really cared about him while she was under the influence. All leading up to last season's finale where Lois goes to investigate Lex and this season premiere where Bizarro grabs her ass and she goes to comfort Clark when she thinks that Lana is dead.

There was "full circle" moment when you compare the series premiere to the season finale. See how surprised Clark was when Lois hugs him in the season premiere. He hesitates for a minute and then allows her to comfort him. And she breaks up the tension by making a joke about how she'll kill him if he grabs her a$$ again. Now, fast forward 10 months later, and now she's hugging him and he's holding her and crying on her shoulders. And she's whispering, "It's okay... it'll be okay..." and he just sways with her and soaks up her hug. No words, no joking, just soft music in the background while the shot pans out to show then completely wrapped in each other's arms.

[smallvillefreak24]

^ I agree that Lois and Clark are being done very well especially compared with how they ruined clana this season.. I like seeing how their relationship evolves... they've had some really good moments this season

[eas]

^^ Yeah, I mean just compare the two hugs. So similar, yet so different. There was a natural progression to their relationship over the season that accounts for the difference in Clark and Lois's attitudes towards each other.

If i am correct she does live in Smallville still

She doesn't live at the Kent farm, though.... Also If you think back to her first scene with Clark earlier that day, she said to Chloe "we are done here" then left. So, why come back? They arn't that close of friends (yet) to check on each other twice in one day. And why did Lois come in quietly when in the morning she was banging on the door? Did she hear about Lana and rush over to see her? But why not see if Chloe's okay? That whole scene really didn't add up in my opinion. I think it that time could have been saved for a longer clex scene...

I still hate that Clark was crying more for Lana leaving him, then her being dead at the end of season 7.

:lol: I hadn't thought of that! It does lead one to some sick speculation though, doesn't it?

Lois could have heard that Kara is missing once again and was thinking of helping out Clark with it, see if he wants to talk or something. After all, it has been strongly implied she and Kara to have a pretty close friendship. It's also entirely possible that Lois has seen Chloe and has made sure she's okay, the show tends to cut off lots of scenes and just have them offscreenville. We don't have specific scenes of Chloe going to check up Lois if she's okay previously too (eg Rage, Descent), but it doesn't automatically means she didn't at all.


I still hate that Clark was crying more for Lana leaving him, then her being dead at the end of season 7.

I don't think it's exclusively due to Lana leaving him, it certainly looks like to me as a culmination of everything that has happened in the last few weeks. With that whole crazy Veritas stuff, Brainiac, Lionel's murder, Lex, Kara's missing and possibly dead -- like someone has put it earlier, Lana dumping him via DVD is just the rotten cherry on the rotten cake. If she wanted to leave him, she owed him to tell him that face-to-face.

shouldn't you just be happy for Clark that he has people in his life that care for him :P

You consider Pete, his parents, Lana as well as Kara are all out of his life at this point, maybe it just nice for Clark to have a few people who care. There could be a 101 reasons why she decided to come back, why question it(unless you have alterior motives that don't want to see Lois and Clark hugging i guess)
