Clark is holding Clark back. Lana told him she didn't want to be the reason he was staying. She even said that he could help the world with his powers. Clark's a big boy. IF he wants to stay on the farm and do his thing, then that's his choice. Not her fault.

I agree with what Oliver said, but I disagree too. Sure Clark stays on the farm and all, but he's helped a lot of people during his stay in Smallville. About 100 episodes, he's helped or save someone.
Without Clark being in Smallville this season Rachel could have died, Chloe could have died, Kara could have died, Lana could have died, Lionel could have died, that little boy and his dad/grandpa could have died (in Bizarro) and many others. Clark should get out and help out more, but he's learned a lot from his time in Smallville which would help him in the future. And he still is learning.
Especially in the last few episodes, I've seen Clark really being pushed into that, "Maybe you should venture farther out from the boundaries of Smallville" but at the same time, it's being emphasized that it is important that he stays there, at least for now. So I give Oliver's comment some merit, but I do think that Clark has more than one reason to still stay on the farm.Comment

Its nice to see these characters come into Clark's life and show him tough love. Its about time someone keeps on Clark about becoming something better than he is. My mom was like "Abby he's talking about your man" and "I was like good. That's exactly what he needs right now. Clark needs alittle slapping around to focus on something greater than himself"Comment

As much as I love Clark I have to agree with what Ollie said to him.
Get off that comfy clana couch and do something besides wait for problems to show up at your door.
He can do all kind of things in the world and then return to Smallville if he's needed thereComment

I don't mind what Ollie said, but I think its completely wrong to discount everything we've SEEN Clark do up to this point. Obviously the construct of the show keeps Clark tied to Smallville, so I think its a bit ridiculous to bring characters onto the show to chide Clark for something that the construct of the show demands.Comment

I love Ollie telling Clark, what do you do ? you sit on your couch, who do you help.
ME TOO!! LOL It was so exhilarating to watch someone say everything to Clark that (most of us) have been wanting to say to him. Yelling at Clark through the TV doesn't work very well!! So when Oliver called him on his frustratingly "stagnant" life, I was over the moon. I wanted to give Ollie a big KISS!!
I don't think Clark is "learning" from his time in Smallville. His life and how he approaches it is no different from several seasons ago. He makes the same stupid decisions over and over again. He has not made any effort to propell his life FORWARD to the future. And like other posters have stated it beautifully.....

Clark seems to just flip flop on this. Sometimes he is completely selfless and sometimes he's completely selfish. I don't know if it's poor writing or very good writing. I mean, if you were a young adult working through all of the stuff that Clark goes through, would you handle it any better?Comment

It was simply a heat of the moment argument. Frustrated, Ollie didn't mean it as Clark is just worried about others...simply releasing his inhibitions he feels toward Clark...he just feels Clark is limiting himself and with his vast powers feels that the world needs him..he's expressed this before to Clark...it's just that Clark hasn't found that yet- grown up- whatever you wanna call it...Clark isn't ready just yet...this is why the show is still Smallville and not Superman.Comment

I do not. Clark has had a full plate in dealing with Kara, Jor-el, and the phantom this season. I don't see him as lounging at home, but having to carefully think what is best. Not to mention he spent a month trapped in the fortress.
I think until Ollie has walked a mile in Clark's shoes, he does not have the right to tell him he's not up to parr. It's one thing if he keeps asking when Clark is ready to join him, and quite another to say he is failing.Comment
