Anyone notice the nod to Action comics #1 in this episode ?

Lois Lane's red dress in this episode "Identity" is the exactly the same as the one she wore in action comics # 1 .
That's pretty cool. And it seems like they've been throwing little nods to the comics all season long.
I hope they get a move on the clois relationship though. Clark should be the next one to admit his feelings IMO.
Well they've already made it clear that Lois is in love with Clark, but there's sill some uncertainty as to how Clark feels about her. I mean the only sign that would really point to him having the same feelings as her would be the part in Committee where he looked disappointed after Lois said she lied about loving him. Other than that, there aren't any real signs that Clark has the same feelings as she does, so a full Clois relationship doesn't really seem as close as might.

How about the fact that in identity he was pretty obviously jealous about her date?

With each season that passes she looks more and more like Lois. It's usually the hair that does it for me. I know that may sound silly, but it's certain way she wears her hair, looks like different versions of Lois from the comics.

This one, reminds me of her appearances in Superman/Batman for sure.

[COMPO]

to be honest she looks hot in the directors cut for bloodline :P

[SpideyVille]

How about the fact that in identity he was pretty obviously jealous about her date?
Idk, that seems to play back into his new view of Lois after the whole incident in Committed. Like it seems like Clark always falls for just any girl that shows that they have feelings for him. It's like he'll get with anyone just to be with someone, so this little hint of jealousy in Identity, along with the disappointed look at the end of Committed just seems like he likes the idea of Lois being in love with him, but isn't completely true in his feelings for her. Even after Lois asked him to think about where they'd be after if he had to answer the question, he had to take a moment to think about it.

[The Caped Knight]

Actually Clark feelings for Lois have been getting strong and strong as time pass on from since he first met her way back in his Senior Year in "Smallville High" (Season 4) , He may not realize it yet . But it's been obvious to everyone else around him for quite some time from Lana, Chloe, Jimmy, his parents even Lucy Lane saw it . this season tptb are really going all out to show us why Superman is destined to be with Lois Lane . Lois brings out something in Clark that none of his previous girlfriends have, besides making Clark laugh,smile etc... Lois brings out the best in Clark (She as unique of understanding him .) But she also challenges him, which Clark seems to enjoy a whole lot more . The playful bantering they have is a unique one because it show how much they care for one another . But without the romance yet ... In time that will take place when the time is right .

[M.O.Steel]

well said my friend.

however, (maybe it's the romantic in me) if they were to end it with him ending up with lana lang, i personally don't think it would contradict the mythos. the "end of his begining" ends with him being with lana. now what happens between the end of the show and the rest of his life, no one knows, or needs to flesh out. i don't think that because two people end up together at the end of a movie has to mean they are together for the rest of their lives. movies and their sequels have new love interests all the time.

but i'm ok with this also.

[Double Down]

Then Lois had no purpose being on the show.
Would you have been OK with the Star Wars prequels ending with Anakin as a good guy and us not seeing the transformation? What you are taking about deals with sequels, but Smallville acts as a prequel because we know basically how it ends. At the end of the show, people want to see him at the beginning of that journey, because we know where it goes from there and everything works out.

[Double Down]

Put another way, ask yourself what the show's function is: to show how he got to be Superman or to show how he ended up with Lana. The answer to that question should determine how the show ends.

Oh don't get me wrong, Lois and Clark definitely do bring out the best in each other. My issue is that everyone is expecting a Clois relationship so soon, yet they fail to realize that both characters aren't fully committed to each other yet. Like you said, Clark hasn't really realized it at all while Lois is just starting to realize that Clark may just in fact be the guy she's been waiting for her whole life. And like I said in my previous post, Clark may be starting to show signs of jealousy very her dating someone else, but would that have really been the case had she never answered that question in Committed? This has been a common flaw of Clark throughout the series. He suddenly develops interest in someone who shows him some signs of interests. Like in season one, Clark only started to develop feelings for Chloe after Pete told him that she wanted to go to the Sprnig Formal with him. Or even the Chlark kiss from Vessel, when Clark comes back from the PZ, it was like he was expecting to hook up with Chloe. It's little instances like that that make the "love" seem far less true and real and more like Clark acting out of desperaion just to be with someone. While I don't mind Lois falling for Clark first, I do find an issue with Clark ultimately deciding to do something about just because he feels like she's the best available girl at the moment.

This is wicked confusing. Are you folks talking about LANA, or LOIS? There's a huge difference! :cmad: ;)

[Double Down]

Lana, obviously. He said the show could end with Clark being with Lana, I was saying that shouldn't happen. The show is about him becoming Superman, not him ending up with Lana (because, as everyone knows, he ends up with Lois).

[AgentPat]

LanaGuess I have to go back and re-read the thread. I missed where Lana entered into the convo.

[Double Down]

Start with post 3007, you'll figure it out.

Lana Lane, eh? If this is some sort of combination of Lois and Lana, count me in! :up:

Especially if it is 100% Lois (Lana is lame).

It's a modern legend. If the show had ended in S5, maybe they could have ended it with Clark and Lana, but that ship has sailed. Clark isn't in high school anymore; he's working side by side at the Daily Planet with Lois, the woman he will eventually marry. The only two endings that are appropriate at this point, IMHO, is Clark alone or at some stage in the relationship with Lois.

[ariellem]

Lana Lane, eh? If this is some sort of combination of Lois and Lana, count me in! :up:

Lana Lane: the result of Lex's less-well-known cloning experiment.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Clark should have immediately and knowingly fallen in love with Lois upon first meeting her. It's an instant connection for him. I wish they would have left her out for him to meet her when he's older. If they had kept Lana's stories less elaborate things would be different I suppose.

[The Caped Knight]

Clark should have immediately and knowingly fallen in love with Lois upon first meeting her.

What's the expression ... Oh yeah "Love Is blind"

In some way believe it or not Clark did fall for Lois immediately , however he wasn't fully aware of his true feelings . Which didn't go unnoticed by those around him .

Lana was the very first to notice this in Season 4 episode 2 "Gone"

Lana: It's funny, isn't it? After everything we;ve been through, I thought it would take us longer to get over it.

Clark Kent: Us?

Lana: You and Lois.

Clark Kent: Lois? She's bossy. She's stuck-up, she's rude - I can't stand her.

Lana: The best ones always start that way.


Chloe was the next to pick on this , We saw this at the end of "Facade" after the dunk in the tank . Which is why when she drank the "Krypto-rade" in "Devoted" she was jealous of Lois .

Chloe: I know what you're up to. I went through this with Lana, and I'm not gonna go through it with you!

Lois: Do what?!

Chloe: Steal Clark!


Lucy Lane who was only in town for a short time saw something between her Big Sister & this Farmboy as well .

And let's not forget The Kents themselves - Jonathan & Martha (Martha in particuler saw how her son acted around Lois Lane . As did Lois around her son. Which reminded her of how her and Jonathan were when they first meet .)

I wanted to point out that Lois was dressed almost exactly like Action Comics!Lois is dressing in the current Brainiac story arc (in #868, #869, and judging from previews, #870). The blouse, the skirt, the hair. Almost identical! Normally I wouldn't notice, but the fact that Toxic aired around the same time these issues came out was cool to me. #868 came out in August, and Toxic was shot some time in August, so it's possible that the wardrobe department was using the comics as inspiration! http://lounge.cwtv.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks Pat , this brings a huge smile to my face
The aggressive army brat burst on the 'Smallville' scene right in the middle of Chloe's crush with Clark (say that three times fast). Then she rode her cousin's journalistic coattails to the Daily Planet, only to reveal her true feelings for the man of steel, her copy boy, in a chair much like the electric chair in prison. Clark may be the last to know of his love connection, but it's the last one he will ever have. Ahhhh, destiny is a magical thing...

OK...just for the record, i meant lana lang...but if you just read the post you should have figured that out.

Then Lois had no purpose being on the show.
Would you have been OK with the Star Wars prequels ending with Anakin as a good guy and us not seeing the transformation? What you are taking about deals with sequels, but Smallville acts as a prequel because we know basically how it ends. At the end of the show, people want to see him at the beginning of that journey, because we know where it goes from there and everything works out.

does she really have one?:whatever: as much as i love looking at erica durance, i really don't think she should have been introduced to the show.

while i really like the star wars analogy, i don't think it has to be the same. This is about superman during his time in smallville, not necessarily "how he became superman". yeah i know it kinda doesn't make sense. What i'm saying is that, it's meant as a snapshot in a timeline. obviously they are not going this route anymore, and they are really pushing the superman part of the mythos, but all i'm saying is that it didn't really need to end with him becoming superman. i like to think of smallville as just episode 1. no reason he needed to be evil as a kid right?

Put another way, ask yourself what the show's function is: to show how he got to be Superman or to show how he ended up with Lana. The answer to that question should determine how the show ends.

so does it really need to show him becoming superman? we would all love to see it, but it doesn't have too. i think early seasons, it was the second statement, and now its' more like the first statement

Lana, obviously. He said the show could end with Clark being with Lana, I was saying that shouldn't happen. The show is about him becoming Superman, not him ending up with Lana (because, as everyone knows, he ends up with Lois).

like i said, i think of it more like a snapshot in time, doesn't mean it needs to have the begining middle and end of the larger picture/.

Lana Lane, eh? If this is some sort of combination of Lois and Lana, count me in! :up:

so in a room with lana and lois.....:wow:the possiblities

Well, this is a story with an ending that people know and expect. It's a modern legend. If the show had ended in S5, maybe they could have ended it with Clark and Lana, but that ship has sailed. Clark isn't in high school anymore; he's working side by side at the Daily Planet with Lois, the woman he will eventually marry. The only two endings that are appropriate at this point, IMHO, is Clark alone or at some stage in the relationship with Lois.

i definitely agree that the show shouldn't end that way anymore, yeah the ship has definitely sailed. someone a long time ago suggested that this was an elseworld story where clark can end up with lana... and that was blasphemy in my ears. but then it got me thinking that if lets say lois didn't exist yet, why can't lana and clark end up together at the end of the show (not necesarily the end of the superman mythos)? agian, i'm a man of tradition, i just dont' think it would have contradicted anything. and also, i really don't think it should happen anymore, it was just something i thought of and wanted to see how others responded for discussion's sake.

superboy's love interest in the 80's show is lana lang. doesn't mean it contradicts the larger scope of things.

[Double Down]

I'm not debating whether Lois should be on the show, but once they put her on, that's the way the show needed to end: with Clark and Lois.
One thing that irritates me about Smallville is how he seemingly meets everyone he will ever meet way too early in his life.

[M.O.Steel]

true that. i think so too. i guess they are going the urban myth route instead of the image route.

Erica was awesome in "Bloodline" both as Lois Lane & Faora . Incredible acting by Mrs. Durance .

[Dr. Chaos]

The whole bodysnatching gag can get pretty hokey sometimes but I have to hand it to Erica, her portrayal as Faora was intriguing to watch play out.

I was actually kind of bummed she got switched back as soon as she did for a few seconds.

I really want them to Kiss, but for some reason or another I feel this is a really big tease (similar to Superman Returns , Where Lois & Superman are about to kiss after a romantic flight around the city of Metropolis . When Sups returns Lois to The Daily Planet rooftop . But just as their lips meet and their about to kiss Lois pulls away .)

I see a similar moment taking place in "Bride" that will prevent Lois & Clark from kissing (either due to the arrival of Lana Lang) or (Doomsday crashing The party) .

I hope I'm wrong ... But I Doubt It .

[Prison Mike]

yeah, I doubt the follow through with the kiss. I think either Lana shows up or Doomsday arrives. But I would LOVE to see them officially kiss.

I can't believe theres an almost kiss.. *shakes head* thats just torture lol

thinking about it some more, I think it's Doomsday that interrupts their kiss. They look like they're in the barn with other people in the background. It could be while they're dancing that they decide to kiss then Doomsday appears. I have nothing to base this on, though, so it's totally a guess.

it's okay. I just recently started to stay spoiler free. The last episode I know about is Bride. Starting from the Legion episode, I don't know much of the spoilers.

[Webhead2006]

ok mike, and i know i been warned this already twice and i dont want ot get in trouble, i am trying my best not to talk about future spoilers were we are not allowed to talk about them. I too would love to be spoiler free but i cant do it if i see or know there is spoilers for an episode i want to know what is going on cause i talk about the show with alot of people i know and i like to keep them informed on what is going on with the show since most dont know where to go for info and all that.

oh I'm not mad or anything. I love spoilers for this show, but I'm trying something different this time. I watch Supernatural and don't read any spoilers for it and I find each episode exciting. So I thought I would try the same with Smallville. Believe me, it's hard not going into the episode threads.

[Webhead2006]

yea i am like that with supernatural too i dont know squat on episodes beside the preview, since i dont know any spoilers/news sites for sn that are as good or big like ksite/Devotetosmallville sites for smallville.

Matt's Mega Minute on Lois Lane fighting Lana for Clark Kent.

"Lois is a fighter, but she's realizes sometimes you need to be patient. And there is no point in having someone around in your life if you don't know that they freely of their own will want you first, love you first. And if that's not the situation then Lois will step back and wait, because she's good enough to wait for." ~ Erica Durance

It's the second video on the list which says SMALLVILLE

I love that Lois isn't going to fight for Clark, If Clark wants her... He's going to have to fight hard for her . Classic Lois Lane approach to handling the situation . Can't wait for episode 15

[KBX]

Hmmm, so basically I wonder if the writers are going to make Clark miss having Lois around from eppy 11-14...

[LostSon88]

My best bet...11-14 Clark will re-evaluate his feelings for Lana.

Then by 14 (Lana's last episode) both he and Lana will:

1. Realize that they have both moved on with their lives.
2. Clark will realize that he truly does have feelings for Lois.

That is what I feel will happen.

this would be an insult for a superman and smallville fan. if you make so big progress with clark and even lois then they shouldnt make this.
it should be over. let lana clark smile and VOILA.

Pretty much agree with this. But where does it leave Lois? I think she's going to back away for fear of getting hurt again.

[Prison Mike]

I wonder where Lois will be for four episodes? She can't be out on a story for that long. Maybe she'll need a vacation after Lana comes back. lol

[LexFactor]

I wonder where Lois will be for four episodes? She can't be out on a story for that long. Maybe she'll need a vacation after Lana comes back. lol

I actually think that's a distinct possibility. If Lois doesn't get injured in Bride then I think she may go on vacation and visit her dad.

[LostSon88]

I don't see how this is an insult...you do know that Clark can evaluate his feelings for Lana in a MATURE fashion.

Just because he's re-evaluating his feelings doesn't mean he's gonna get all mopey/BDA on us all over again. He's grown up now, and he's gonna deal with his feelings with Lana in a grown up fashion.

Plus, it's natural that he would still have feelings for Lana...in many ways we will always have feelings for our first love. For her to come back and have him simply just brush her off like she was yesterdays news is not only unrealistic, but uncharacteristic of Clark/Superman.

For cryin' out loud he hasn't even admitted to himself yet whether or not he has feelings for Lois! Like you said, THIS IS THE TEST.

[Syncos]

I think you're on crack. Lana and Clark is a relationship that needs proper closure. When an ex love comes back into your life, you remember. You feel things.

All that matters to me is that they close off their romantic past. Have them go to dinner. Talk things out. Whatever it takes. Let things go, on good terms for once.

[Webhead2006]

yea i hope they have clark and lana take things more mature this time and the resovle their relationship and stay friends. So then he can freely move on to lois and his feelings for her. I dont want to see mopey/bda clark again after them being so good so far this yr with clark's character.

[The Caped Knight]

Those preview clips with Lois for bride were awesome , I love that scene with her and Clark , the heat is building between them . I just hate that lana's coming just as these two are starting to realize their feelings for one another .

Oh Well at least I know how the overall story will end, with Lois & Superman/Clark together as they are destined to be .

[Tron5000]

It can be weird when you see your first love after having been apart for some time. Even though I was with someone else, the first time I saw my first real girlfriend after about 3 years, it was a very strange feeling. Like, I knew I loved my present girlfriend, but having been with my ex for 3 years, there was a lot of history there. Fortunately, I handled it well and we now talk online every couple months or so. But Clark and Lana have a lot of history. There's bound to be some old feelings that arise.

And I'll readily admit that I'm no fan of Lana. I wanted her off the show at least a couple years ago. And this season it finally feels like Lois is getting her due, without having to play second (or third) fiddle. That's the main reason why I don't like this 5-ep Lana arc: it takes away from Lois (& Clark).

Some have speculated that Chloe, given her recent Brainiac meltdown and no knowledge of Clark's secret, may be on her way out. If that clears way for some straight Clark, Lois and Jimmy at the Daily Planet, chasing stories and saving Metropolis, then bring it on.

Erica proves herself to be a classy lady who stands up for her character, but also cares about the show's overall quality. I love her attitude and enthusiasm for her role and it's integral place in this story.

My best bet...11-14 Clark will re-evaluate his feelings for Lana.

1. Realize that they have both moved on with their lives.
2. Clark will realize that he truly does have feelings for Lois.

I agree completely. But I also think they are going to be involving Lana somehow in the whole "Where's Lex" scenario which I'm looking forward to seeing.

I think closing the book on this part of his story with Lana is a big step for him being able to turn completely to Lois. Erica hit that nail on the head. Lois wants all of Clark, not just part of him.

All that matters to me is that they close off their romantic past. Have them go to dinner. Talk things out. Whatever it takes. Let things go, on good terms for once.

People seem to forget - they didn't break up. They were in love and happily living together, finally working past all the Lex/Secret stuff when Brainiac put her in the coma and she subsequently disappeared. There was no clean "end" to Clark's feeling for her when he thought she left him.
Her feelings for him - *SPOILERS* were obviously the same as well since according to spoilers, she was forced to make that video and kidnapped.



I think a healthier and cleaner break is absolutely needed for the two of them. Like her or not, she's been a huge part of this show from the conception.

Of course, I'm a Lana fan outside of her being with Clark too, so I'm hoping her character in general gets a decent send-off.

Erica was Magnificent in "Bride" her performance as Lois Lane in this episode was extraordinary . I'll miss her in episode 11, 12 ,13 & 14, . But I'm so happy she returns in Episode 15 .

[Webhead2006]

yea great work from erica in the episode i totally felt their connection and then darn lana had to show up and screw things up for lois. I did like they atless gave a good excuse for her and jimmy to be gone for the next 4 episodes. Jimmy very injured with chloe missing and lois only "family" he has and to watch over him and try to nurse her own heart ache.

Yeah I was a little concerned by how they might do that but I think it turned out okay. It's a legitimate reason for their absence. Still disappointing that she'll miss so many episodes in a row though.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I still found Lana more appealing even with them trying to darken her and pull away from Clark. Erica was slightly better this episode but she tends to overplay the character which gets annoying. I don't want her as somber as Bosworth but I don't want her annoying like Durance... Teri Hatcher had the perfect balance *sigh*

I agree that Hatcher was a great Lois Lane but I have to disagree with your thoughts on Durance. I think Erica is well on her way to becoming the best live-action Lois there has been. I think in the past she's been held back by poor material but this season she's been allowed to be more like iconic Lois and is my opinion excelling.

Oh and I agree on Bosworth - terrible Lois Lane.

She so better be *sigh*

[Prison Mike]

Erica was fantastic in Bride. I loved all the scenes. And she was beautiful in that orange dress.

[Dr. Chaos]

Erica is probably just about one of my favorite actresses to portray Lois Lane.

The look, voice, humor, attitude. there isn't much I don't like about her.

The stuff between her and Clark this season has been alluring to watch. The romance between the two, it's just been effortlessly easy and alot less tedious than his entire history with Lana which was one big ride on the teen angst train.

Simply put, Lois and Clark are just fun and it's amazing how great their dynamic works in it's simplicity.

One of my favorite moments this season is still Lois freaking out when Clark gets shocked in committed and Clark's surprised reaction (hilarious) later on when she gave the honest answer.

[p4poetic]

Boy is this thread a relief. The twop Erica/Lois bashfest was too overwhelming, even if I get a kick out of it.

Agreed. I'd add Margot Kidder needed enough 'bounce' (be a little more humorous) which is why I put her behind Teri Hatcher. I like Erica Durance but she kind of over does the snarky part of Lois.

Ugh. They still really have no problem bashing Erica at all.. they suck.

[p4poetic]

When did I say it was her fault? Yes there's no changing the material but her delivery is also important.

[LexFactor]

So am I right in thinking February 12th would be a decent bet for Lois' return?

[Prison Mike]

so if episode 15 airs Feb 12, will they take another break and come back later to finish episodes 16-22?

[LexFactor]

I'm not sure when the break would come but I expect something like that to happen. It usually does.

[Webhead2006]

yea second half of the season is probably going to get spilt up probably. So with there being 12 more episodes i bet we will get 6 weeks straight of new episodes, break for a few weeks. so she is due to be back in episode 15 which could be airing feb 12th. so i could see then after 6 episodes straight they could be on another break for 5-6 weeks and then run to may.

[LexFactor]

Yeah I've noticed that Eureka is having a massive break at the moment.

[Webhead2006]

yea that is one thing i hate about shows on scfi channel like the stargate shows, doctor who, eureka, and then over on abc family kyle xy they tend to have season finales and then the next season 5-8months later, or break seasons up by a large ammount like eureka and battlestar has currently.

I don't find that Erica overacts at all. Her character is crass. That's part of why she's such a good reporter, she pushes people until they give her what she wants.

Hatcher was great as the Lois of a campy evening superman show. I don't think she'd be as good as Durance given the material of Smallville, though.

I think Erica May be the best version of Lois Ever, becasues of how she delivers her line in such a crass manner.

And her facial exresions while delivering them are priceless as if everyone else is wrong and she's not, which is sort of the core personality of Lois lane .

And I'm an old schooler who always thought Margot Kidder was the quenisential Lois, but Erica has surpass then all.

[elgaz]

I would tend to agree, she plays Lois Lane amazingly well. Sexy, sassy, and sarcastic. Full of fire but also brave, passionate and romantic when she wants to be. In fact, I can't think of any of the stereotypical Lois Lane qualities (which we know at least from comics and other Superman lore) that Durance doesn't bring to the table.

Lets not detract from Teri Hatcher, she played a very good Lois also - but lets also be honest, that show was in the 90s and like many 90s TV & film productions, it favoured the campy, humorous approach to the more serious believable one.

[Prison Mike]

yes, erica shows the best qualities of Lois Lane onscreen. She's the best live action Lois Lane IMO.

[Phatman]

WHAT THE DEUCE ?!?!?!?!

ERICA WILL MISS THE NEXT 4 EPISODES ?!?!?!?:wow:

No Erica Durance for four episodes! Crap. she's one of the reasons this show is so much better this year.

No Lois means I'll be skipping smallville for four weeks.

My problem with SV's Lois is that they don't make her very intelligent.

Indeed. I'm quite confident if Teri Hatcher was handed her same lines, she would pull it off without being "snarky"

Past season one and a half, Teri's Lois stopped calling Clark a farmboy and stopped nicknaming him smallville, so that would be hard to pull off, lol.

That show had its moments but sometimes it was almost as bad as the 60s Batman show.

Maybe most of season four... But you're exaggerating the camp incredibly.

There's no accounting for taste than.

How realistic and serious is it to watch a show where an alien from another planet (who just so happens to look like a human being) lands in Kansas in a spacecraft, taken care of by two old people, disguise himself as a dorky clumsy bumbling goof (pre crisis) with glasses to mask his identity, and dresses up in tights of the primary colors to fight for truth, justice and the american way?

Or how about a small tiny blonde girl with superstrength beating up vampires? But apparently Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel is supposedly such a superior show to all television and Joss Whedon is a God.

Nothing sci-fi can ever be taken seriously, regardless of the decade.

[ariellem]

Mmm... I can totally see Teri's Lois calling Dean's Clark "Farmer John". He'd smirk back at her with an annoyed look, she'd do her cocked-head grin, and they'd continue on... Far enough into the series, he'd have a quick comeback like, "and I've got some chores for you to do, Farmer Jane. C'mere." [kiss]

Nice compilations of Lois about how bad a speller she is. The Teri scene is my favorite.

Totally baffled here, so help me out...what are you saying? lol.

One of my favorite early Lois and Clark moments is when Clark takes her to Smallville in 'Green Glow of Home', where they're strolling down some sort of festival they were having, and whilst makes a few jabs at the town, she unknowingly points to Jonathan and said "I bet he's a cross dresser!" and "Let's see. So far I've been given a glimpse of ritual crop worship, been treated as your girlfriend, and insulted your parents. No, I couldn't have planned this,".

I like Erica Durance but she kind of over does the snarky part of Lois.

Except that a very well common characteristic of Lois Lane through out every incarnation of Superman . Lois has always been snarky that's just apart of her character from since Action Comics #1. She became even more so in John Byrne Superman comic reboot era that carried all into The 90's ABC tv series Lois & Clark : The New Adventures Of Superman with Teri Hatcher followed by Bruce Timm Superman : The animated Series on Kids WB voiced by Dana Delany (Who started the nickname/pet name "Smallville" for Clark Kent .)

I think Erica has done a wonderful job in her portrayal as Lois Lane overall it very accurate to the comic book counterpart as well as incorporating little parts of Lois character from the previous 4 women from the different era's that had the privilege of Being Lois Lane (not inculding bosworth .)

Also I enjoy Lois busting Clark's busting chops , it's part of the fun in this epic relationship that spaned over 70 years in the mythology . And as you can clearly see Clark enjoy it too .

I like that aspect of Lois' personality, but I'm glad they've dialed down the busting on Clark, and are now showing us more of her growing respect for him. It's a very natural and believable progression for her character.

Gotta love the wedding dress!

[p4poetic]

Except that a very well common characteristic of Lois Lane through out every incarnation of Superman . Lois has always been snarky that's just apart of her character from since Action Comics #1. She became even more so in John Byrne Superman comic reboot era that carried all into The 90's ABC tv series Lois & Clark : The New Adventures Of Superman with Teri Hatcher followed by Bruce Timm Superman : The animated Series on Kids WB voiced by Dana Delany (Who started the nickname/pet name "Smallville" for Clark Kent .)

I think Erica has done a wonderful job in her portrayal as Lois Lane overall it very accurate to the comic book counterpart as well as incorporating little parts of Lois character from the previous 4 women from the different era's that had the privilege of Being Lois Lane (not inculding bosworth .)

Also I enjoy Lois busting Clark's busting chops , it's part of the fun in this epic relationship that spaned over 70 years in the mythology . And as you can clearly see Clark enjoy it too .

I said she OVER does it. Reading is fundamental!

[TwilightPro101]

I like that aspect of Lois' personality, but I'm glad they've dialed down the busting on Clark, and are now showing us more of her growing respect for him. It's a very natural and believable progression for her character.

Fan of that as well.

[Bloodwynd]

Lois has definitely matured. She's went from being rude & always in the way to being much more mature but...is still frequently in the way, at least in the way of Clark when he needs to save the day.

[The Caped Knight]

I said she OVER does it. Reading is fundamental!

I got what you said the first time, I just wanted to express my opinion on the subject .

Yes their was a time when she overboard but that to be expected she was just The Army Brat daughter of General Sam Lane at the time . Over the course of the series Lois has grow up a lot into the woman she's destined to become .

And to be fair Clark has gone overboard even more so as BDA . to this day I still can't understand why'd he'd want to be nothing more than a mere mortal . Thankfully he's matured a great deal this season . Let's hope it stays that way .

[Bloodwynd]

I think he's always been maturing throughout the show, but even more so in season 7 & 8. One thing I believe the writers wanted to get across that even someone with the beliefs Clark has can easily make mistakes.

[Prison Mike]

I agree that lois and clark has matured greatly over the series. I can also see why clark would want to be a mortal. he just wants to be like everyone else which is what anyone would want who is different. I'm glad they showed him wanting that in this series because it would be hard to relate to a person who knew his/her destiny right from the start.

[Bloodwynd]

Indeed, and it shows how much he loves everyone...to the extent that he'd rather have a normal life than outlive everyone he knows & cares about. It's really sad to think about, actually.

[lou2099]

I just saw the episode where the guy was testing and killing couples. When Lois was hooked up to that lie detector, she said "yes" to loving Clark. It didn't register because she said she removed the finger device.

Now aside from wondering how she removed the device from her finger without the bad guy seeing it, if she did that why didn't she just say "no" and get the same non-result? Either way it would be perceived as the truth to the bad-guy.

She told Clark that she removed the finger device. My bet is that she didn't.

She was lying. Like you said, if she really did remove the device, she would've said no in the first place.

Its classic Lois, she's unwilling to admit her true feelings.

[Webhead2006]

yup so true.

[Prison Mike]

yeah, it's obvious she was lying.

[Threshold]

I can't wait to see where they are taking the Clark/Lois romance. They've already covered so much ground, where else can they take it before it becomes something.

[biaaly]

My guess, is they'll keep throwing some kind of roadblocks in the way.. Lana is one, after that, it'll be Lois' walls, after that, I don't know. I might be alone in this, but I'm really hoping one of the roadblocks isn't Clark's secret. We already saw that for years with Clana, it would be nice if they didn't make that an issue here.

Wouldn't trust be an issue in any relationship of his?

[Prison Mike]

Wouldn't trust be an issue in any relationship of his?

trust was a big thing for Lana but somehow I see Lois as more laid back. I think she understands that everyone has secrets and respects the privacy of others (even though she snoops around like crazy for stories). Yes, she does have insecurity issues but I don't think it's as big as Lana's trust issues.

[biaaly]

Yup. She was the one who told Chloe back in Pariah that if she found out someone had a secret or actually found out what the secret was, and it wasn't hurting anyone, then she wouldn't tell them that she knows, she'd wait until they were ready to tell her. And I'm of the group that thinks Lois already knows at least something of the secret about Clark, and is just taking her own advice and not pestering him about it. Plus we know as of Bloodline that Clark thinks Lois NOT knowing the secret puts her in more danger, rather than his usual stance of thinking people who KNOW the secret are in danger.

[Webhead2006]

Yea lois and lana in the show are two entirely different types of characters.

[The Caped Knight]

Now this I can't wait for, I'm so looking forward to this .

Great wallpaper!

[SeeyaroundSV]

Too bad the return date is wrong now.

It sure would be nice if Erica got to be on the show again before freaking March. Whomever is in charge of the casting budget that has continually refused to sign her full time should be fired. By the time Lois shows up on Smallville again, nearly 4 months will have passed. And they wonder why the second-halves of their seasons always dive-bomb in the ratings. *is angry*

[Mikelus]

That's the way it is, the key being the famous 13 episode restriction which is Warner/DC's doing because of the movie franchise. If there's a S9, Lois should be able to be in all episodes, the movie franchise is not a factor now.

The 13 episode restriction was lifted in Season 6 I think(when Superman Returns came out basically)

[SeeyaroundSV]

Like SV Fan said, it hasn't been a factor since Season 5 ended. The only factor is that the showrunners don't know how to properly allocate their budget. IMO they freaked out last year when Michael left and signed two villains to replace him instead of one, they took care of Allison, and then they had no more money left to give Erica anything more than 2 extra episodes. The only silver lining for S9 is that Tom has to be taken care of for it to happen at all, and after that the next person in line for a better deal is Erica because everyone else is signed. She has the most seniority of the cast outside of Tom & Allison who already have their new deals, and IMO after 5 years of service to the show it's about time she got rewarded.

[Mikelus]

Fact is, we don't know what goes behind the scenes, if the restriction was lifted, then something else must be getting in the way. If there's a S9, lets hope they can sign Erica for a full season, I think they will, time will tell.

Lana's cash to be in 5 episodes should be more then enough to sign Erica for 7-8 more episodes. I don't think signing 2 villians was a bad move, 2 villians for 13 episodes might have been a better idea then 1 villian for 22.

I don't see it happening, but Chloe's character is starting to become pointless, imagine the amount of cash they can free up if she leaves(they can probably can sign 4-5 characters to 13 episode deals with the cash she gets)

[Mikelus]

^^ They will need that money to get the DP office more interesting with Perry, Cat Grant, Steve Lombard... plus new villains like Darkseid, the Intergang, Metallo, etc.

[Prison Mike]

so when will Lois really be returning? I don't read spoilers or anything so if anyone can give an episode number, it would be appreciated, thanks!

[Threshold]

She'll be back for the 15th episode of the season "Infamous".

[Prison Mike]

wow, still 4 episodes away? :csad:

thanks for the info

[Threshold]

Yeah, as someone who is REALLY digging what they are doing with Clark & Lois in the show... that's a pretty long time between appearances. Then again, maybe it'll give their romance a bit of a slow burn which could work more in favor of the show.

Adding guests is fine, but if they spend money that should go to Erica who has worked on the show for 5 years on new people who have never worked on the show, the people responsible for that spending should be fired. Take care of her first, and then worry about new guests. She has paid her dues and she should be the next one to be rewarded after Tom receives his new deal.

Derek, it's not airing February 12th now. It's March 5th at the earliest. Man this sucks. :(

4 more episodes and it'll be all said and done.

Thanks, missed the latest update. Makes sense though. Gives them another mini-hiatus gap before the finale.

[SeeyaroundSV]

Waiting 4 months before returning Lois to our screens makes zero sense to me. The character is the female lead in 4 of 5 theatrical movies, her own TV series, an animated series and the comics over the last 30 years alone. Yet on Smallville she appears only 60% of the time. Every year I think the show is finally going to be different, and every year they disappoint me and fail to give this generation's Lois Lane her due by making her full-time. This show is Lucy yanking away the football and I am Charlie Brown running to kick it only to fall flat on my back and kill myself. :P

[TwilightPro101]

Can't say I've ever held that much contempt for the show. For me, its just a live action form of Superman, that fills in the void inbetween movies. It's a fun show yes, but I hold no expectations for the producers and their choices. Whatever happens, happens.

Either way, I'll be glad to see her back.

For now, I'm extremely curious to see what the producers are going to do in regards to Clark's development and putting Lana in the past.

I do feel the show has greatly improved over the course of the last few seasons though. So much so that I prefer the latest seasons to the previous.

[SeeyaroundSV]

Well I'm a big fan of Erica's, and I know she works really hard at the character and cares a lot about it. So when the showrunners or whomever is in charge continues to take her for granted and have her disappear for multiple episodes at a time when she wants to be there...it just upsets me. I watched the show casually in Seasons 2 & 3 before she arrived, but I got really invested in the show in Season 4 because of her portrayal of Lois. Now when the show has episodes without her, save a select number of episodes I can count on one or two hands, I simply do not enjoy it. I never became invested in Lana or Chloe, and if the show I watch does not have a female character that I care about I tend to lose interest (save Supernatural). In Smallville's case, when Lois isn't there it becomes the Clark & Chloe show, and I hate the character Chloe. Ergo I don't have much interest in those episodes except for really rare occasions of an exceptional one (ala Transference).

I was not aware of that. That majorly SUCKS!

[TwilightPro101]

Personally, I would have loved to have seen the producers actually fight for Erica more as opposed to having Allison Mack back this season. To me, it feels like we've been there and done that with Chloe's character exception of the Brainiac control this season, which I'm enjoying thus far.

It wouldn't have killed them to give her the 22 episodes irregardless or put her back in another Lana episode or 3.

I love that this season the photoshoot takes place in Metropolis @ The Daily Planet instead of Clark's loft in Smallville like in previous seasons (exsept for Season 6). For one thing it show a departure from "SMALLVILLE" to "METROPOLIS" . For another Lane & Kent + The Daily Planet = SUPERMAN !!!!!!! need I say more . :super:
