View Full Version : 10.2 - Shield - Discussion Thread (Spoilers)
I thought this episode was great. Actually a step up from last weeks. We got numerous scenes, scenes where I don't think they've used before which was refreshing. A Suicide Squad that's actually a little dangerous compared to Tess's team of misfits. For once Clark tooks Oliver advance about heroes staying hidden, and step into the light.
What was that piece of paper the Clark held in his hand during the final scene???

everything was great except the closing shot... why all of a sudden the motivation to wear a costume... and why did this motivation come from 'Cat Grant in Name Only'? I have to say that the casting director on Smallville should be flogged for many a miscalculation... including this one.
The Lois stuff was certainly the most interesting material in the episode.

KBX the paper Clark was holding was a plane ticket to Africa, he has been holding it half the episode planning to go get Lois back.
I like the new look for Clark, yes it would have looked better if the S was on the shirt instead or even if as someone else mentioned if he was wearing a blue jacket with a red S on it.
Also Deadshot as a cowboy didn't bother me at all, infact I actually liked it, because it shows that the SS is made up of a bunch of different people. Rick Flagg being the military man, Plastique a runaway teenager, and Deadshot the western cowboy.
Overall I thought it was a good episode. Can't wait to see next weeks

well there we go straight from a producer's mouth this cat is the real cat, just a different take on the character then the comics or lois and clark's cat. Also the whole thing about the heroes operating like viligates in a nice way to transition them from shadowy protectors to out in the open loved by the populice down the road.

down a little bit but still fair numbers.
Great episode, which I'm surprised about considering there was little to no mention of Darkseid.
Deadshot was a great villian used well. I'm glad they went with a modern cowboy like outlaw/outfit for him, making him have a wiff of southern about him was a nice touch as well.
Clark's new outfit is superb, the jacket is absolutely fantastic.. If I ever found one of those on sale in black I'd have it instantly. It's a suttle \S/ imprinted into the design of the jacket, very nice.
Real quality. :up:

They completely cut her out of the opening. In the premiere they had a shot of her walking into the JSA brownstone (which was in the premiere), Oliver and her with a bow (from Warrior), Chloe restarting Watchtower (Hostage), and then her credit. But in Shield, the opening had Clark's ship in space (Pilot), Clark blowing away sand to see the \S/ in the desert (Kandor). Then they also added Clark jumping and landing on the truck (Lucy), after they show him falling in Salvation, which was also in the Lazarus opening credit.

Wasn't a fan of the episode at all. Cat not noticing she magically escaped a burning car, Clark's 3-minute run to save Cat, the less-than-impressive new suit, Hawkman hitting on Lois...
Just seemed like a mess of an episode to me.

It seems like they won't be making this Lois into the same easily-fooled Lois that can't tell tell Clark from Superman. I mean first she knew Zod wasn't the Blur just by touching his hand, then Clark was the Blur because of the kiss, and now that Carter was the guy from the book just because of a letter. Carter even goes to say that Clark said she was "wise beyond her years".

Considering she's seen Clark naked, lived with him, known him since highschool etc, there's no way the glasses/reporter disguise would have worked on her in this context.
But it can work.. just not in the SV verse's take.
One thing I did like about this episode was Shanks changed how he plays Carter. It wasn't over the top and ridiculous like in Absolute Justice.
He played Carter like a normal person. Worked better.

yea they did blow not doing glasses over the yrs, i still wished they did when clark was blinded. so then at least for lois and some other characters it wouldnt have matter much. But in general they will probably do something for others we will just have to see.

It didn't bother me, IMO I thought Deadshot's introduction was so much better than Plastique in Season 8. Also would you have rathered the rock and heavy metal theme for deadshot similar to what icicle Jr. had in Absolute Justice ?
My thoughts exactly Kal. I liked the take on Deadshot. The cowboy persana was different and quite a nice change for a villian.
I loved that they kept his trademark names on the bullet, that was awesome. :awesome:

Really, isn't kind of obvious? He wanted to wear the suit in Lazarus before Jor-El took it away, so this is his alternate suit, the colors represent a more hopeful outlook. I like it, is cooler and practical than the classic one, and less campy for sure (suits don't look good on live action for the most part).
The producers said they're very happy with the casting, so... :indy:
Good episode, but Metallo was better last year.

The new Blur "suit" is crap, quite frankly. The black Blur suit was much closer to the Superman look than this thing is.
The Guard
10-02-2010, 01:16 PM
He looks like Super X-Man with the red leather jacket. But hey, it's a character step in the right direction, and it's not breaking the "no tights, no flights" rules.
It was kind of fun seeing Deadshot show up, even though he was a weird mix of his original version and his more modern one. Looks like he'll be around for a while, here's hoping he gets an evolved look.
Cat Grant was a weird mix of annoying, but in certain shots, she looked almost like the Cat Grant of the late 80's/90's, and kind of hot.
I absolutely loved Carter introducing the Ubermensch idea that Superman was born from.
Was that covered serving woman Plastique in disguise?
Anyone notice that the tags they use on Clark, Oliver and Carter are Deathstroke's colors?

In Superman The Animated Series pilot "Last Son Of Krypton" Lois get's the name referring to Nietzsche

Oh okay,
So he doesn't have a "S" on the shirt? I know he has one on the jacket, but you can hardly see that. Plus, the jacket can zip down so it ruins the "S" image. Nitpicking, I know. But still...
Wait, here's a question for our speculated minds: how in the hell can Clark get these outfits that are stylzed, designer outfits? If it is easy for him, it DAMNIT it should be easy for us too!
That's what I don't like about the new outfit too.

I don't know why anyone would complain, the character of Superman was created based on this idea of the Ubermensch. Nietzsche's philosophical idea is the only reason we have Superman. I'm glad they gave credit where credit is due.

It's just because they've used it before in the Pilot. I was hoping they'd come up with something different for the origin of the name. No big deal though.
One thing that felt off about this episode is they never addressed or clarified what exactly Jonathan Kent was last week. Clark never questioned whether he was interacting with a ghost OR someone masquerading as Jonathan.
It seems like such a huge out-worldly occurrence, (something that would definitely affect Clark on a personal level)..... I'm surprised it was ignored in "Shield"

Not bad, Mike. I like it. Personally, that screams more Red-Blue-Blur than the red jacket does, especially since you can't really see the blue shirt on the inside.
It's funny though, the look itself reminds me of one of the earlier manips of Clark wearing something that Ollie would wear, but I never once took them seriously because I didn't think he would ever wear something like that. Shows how much I know.

If you go to that replica prop website where they sell the jacket now, they state in the description that the same leather company that makes Ollie's wardrobe made the new jacket. They probably have a base pattern to work on :)

Another thing I find bizarre is that they haven't really addressed THE suit at all yet. Everyone seems to be acting like it doesn't exist, like an elephant in the room.
I would have guessed some of Clark's dialogue would have addressed Martha making the suit, questioning why she did it.. questioning it's purpose.. and questioning where the suit disappeared to..

In the pilot, Lana was commiting on the book Clark was reading . Not on Clark .
In Shield, Lois's discussion with Carter revolved around Clark and I'm sure in the back of Lois's mind She thought of Clark as Superman .
As for Jonathan's reappearence ,I'm sure Clark was thinking about it but his main focus was on getting Lois back. I'm sure you'll see him dwell on JK in future episodes.

I think the S being "torn" by the zipper when it's open is good. I take it symbolically as him not being ready yet. As for the suit itself... I have to see it in action from 10.3 on. It could go either way.

Its red because its representing the cape, and he has a blue shirt on underneath which represents the body of the classic superman suit.

Wow! I personally really loved the red jacket we got, but I have to admit that this is very nice! It looks more like an actual suit, rather than just a jacket. And the red on the shoulders looks like the cape! I can't believe the designers didn't do something like this instead! uugghh, now I'm upset and want this version! lol

I honestly think its better that the updated Blur suit looks NOTHING like the official suit.
I mean for me, if the Blur suit were to look something like the posted manips above, then...seeing him in the actual suit would kind of lose its luster because the two would look too similar.

I could see that as an alternative, X-Men/Hancock style Superman suit. It just needs pants done in the same style and some red boots. The S would be the ideal design and size for a movie suit, even if it were traditional.

Exactly. On one hand, you can have the logical explanation, that the suits will start to successivelly remind us of the final one. On the other hand, you need the final suit to make an impact and that's more possible to do with having the previous ones be quite different aesthetically.

Ok, I have two big problems with this. One, pick a dammed symbol and stick with it. Are they using the SR one or not?
Two, if he wants a less "dark" look, he already has the damn suit. Why the hell would he go get a whole new custom jacket made? It makes no sense.
If they don't want him in THE suit yet, what was the point of a costume change?

The reason for the costume change with out it being the suit is to get him out of the all black. As for the color choice of the jacket, I think it's a no win situation. I mean if they would have gave him a red and blue or a red, blue and yellow jacket people would complain and say if they where gonna use those colors why not just use the suit. And as far as not continuing story lines from Lazerus, I really don't see why they should. More than likeely we would end up with the episode have way to much stuff in it that could have been spread out over the span of a few episodes rather than being cramed into one.

That doesnt explain it and was kind of my point. To get him out of all black explains a change of costume. It does not explain why not the full suit.

He's not wearing the suit now because he doesn't have it. We saw it hidden in the fortress, but Clark didn't. Jor-El has it "hostage" until Clark proves he truly is ready. This new look is part of Clark's way of proving Jor-El wrong by showing that with or without the suit, he will step into the light and be the hero that he's meant to be.

I have agree here. That stupid jacket was just God awful. Loved the shield, and especially how it was the comic book one instead of that horrific SR shield. But Good Lord, it just didn't look good on him, he looked fat. If anything they should have made the jacket blackish/blue ( so it doesn't take to much from when he wears the actual suit in the finale) with the red S. And why did it have to be leather? He looks like something that stepped out of the Greese movie.
Or they could have just had him wear a red jacket with a blue shirt like he always did but only with a red shield on his shirt.
The all black look was pure gold compared to this new crap.
So many ways they could've gone and they chose this? Very disappointing.
I was really hoping I wouldn't have use that word in the final season of smallville. In fact the whole damn episode was boring, especially the Lois stuff.
Michael Shanks was great as usual, the only good thing about this episode.
I just have to say this, A show like Smallville can not be done on the small budget that it has. It just comes off as looking cheap, with the same redressed street and practically no location shots. I wish they would've had the budget of the earlier seasons.
He's not wearing the suit now because he doesn't have it. We saw it hidden in the fortress, but Clark didn't. Jor-El has it "hostage" until Clark proves he truly is ready. This new look is part of Clark's way of proving Jor-El wrong by showing that with or without the suit, he will step into the light and be the hero that he's meant to be.
That almost makes sense, except he DID have the suit. That would have been more clear if they showed Clark going to get the suit, only to find Jor-el hid it. Or wait, did they do something like that? Did they both, Clark and the suit, get zapped to the fortress together? I don't remember now.

Yeah, in Lazarus they both got zapped, only Clark was so focused on his talk with Jor-El that I doubt he even questioned what happened with the suit. I mean it looked like he was ready to wear it, but then he got zapped and yelled at by Jor-El so I can understand why he might feel like he wasn't ready since all his confidence was crushed. But the talk with Chloe about how she saw him saving the day wearing red and blue, along with his talk with Ollie about stepping out to the light, and Jonathan telling him to prove Jor-El wrong all lead to Clark deciding to wear his own red and blue because he knows suit or not and with or without Jor-El's approval, this is what he's meant to do. So I guess the theme of this season will be to prove he's ready to become Superman, and once he does that he will finally get the suit to wear.

To each his own I guess.
The tights are a part of this characters history, and ridiculous as they may be, it's something that even the non fans expect to see him in as soon as they hear his name.
There's this guy at work that shares my enthusiasm for entertainment, and we often discuss various tv-show and movies. But he's not into the whole superhero thing. I remembered a long time a go he mentioned that he had seen a few episodes here and there of Smallville, so with that in mind I mentioned recently that he had gotten his Superman suit, and all of the sudden there was an immediate reaction from him. He was pleasantly surprised, but I had explain that he wasn't wearing it yet.
Point being that the suit is something entirely different than this new atrocious jacket they have him wearing.
IMO it would have been far better if they just added a shield to his usual blue shirt and jeans.
If people like that Jacket, that's cool, but as far as I'm concerned, they could have done better, much better.
partypooper
10-04-2010, 11:11 AM
What worries me is they have changed the colours of his tShirt and Jacked to a duller Red and Blue, almost setting us up for a dull SR suit.... Bad times....
What bothers me about the whole idea of changing suits is, what's the point? Unless of course he wants to be seen by the people he saves, but if he's still going to be superspeeding before anyone can see him, a costume change is merely for the viewers. The same can be said about Clark's previous costume, the black trenchcoat.
SpideyVille
10-04-2010, 11:27 AM
Well if they wanted people to see him, I'm surprised they didn't add a hood or a mask like Ollie wore in Identity. I mean I know Clark has always been opposed to wearing masks, but I think that's what would make his appearance as Superman be even more better, that he doesn't hide his face, but rather gives the public a face to match with the saves. But he's still not at that point so I wonder what was the reasoning behind this new look. I hope they explain it in Supergirl.

I know. I wasn't bashing the classic suit's history. That's exactly why it is classic - because it exist for almost a century and when people say Superman they think of that costume not of a red jacket and blue shirt or a black coat. I know that, I just do not understand why some say the new look is "atrocious". It is still a proto-Superman outfit, it is not supposed to look that similar to the costume. The suit is an endgame and imo the new look should still not look to similar to it. And it doesn't. Clark just changed the coat with a jacket and changed the colors. Would've liked the S to be on the shirt, though. We'll see it in action. I just don't understand why some people hate it that much. But when I think of it, the coat didn't please everyone, too.

Well, it's not so much that I "hate" it. Well...a little bit actually, but mostly because it looks weird. Granted we've only seen it for a few seconds and not really in action, so it could grow on me I suppose.
But the main problem lies in the fact that this is what we have to look at for the remainder of the season, and it just isn't a good look for either Clark or Welling. I mean Welling looked odd in it. And the shield was barely visible. I do have to wonder just how comfortable that thing is to move in, it is leather after all. I suppose we could sum it up to me being disappointed because I was expecting something better and more supermanly, in stead of something that looks uncomfortable and makes Welling look outright fat.

considering how different smallville has been compared to the regular movie/comic mythology, and has its own continuity; i would have no problem if he wore this as his permanent superman costume. other than the collar, i think this fits with smallville perfect. i didn't make this, but whoever did, i think they did a helluva job.

That manip is pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't feel the awe of The Suit once he wore it. With what they gave is they accomplished something colorful, still pretty different for The Suit to make its impact and a nice nod to Superboy.

I have to say, I was really annoyed with the end of the episode when he put on daredevils cast away red jacket. Im actually taking it as an insult. I just cant seem to get my head round it. Like we have waited 10 yrs to see him put on the suit and in those 10 yrs they have just teased us and kept us waiting, which we waited patiently. Now were here at the final season with the big build up of showing us the real suit at the end of season 9, to throwing in another completely different so called suit. I think they kept us waiting long enough. They havent got enough episodes to be playing around with this kind of rubbish. Give us what we want! give us our proper suit and no superman returns cast away. Give us our air time and give us our epic superman full blown battle at the end. Thats all i ask!!

Personaly I think some people aren't really gonna like any version of Clarks suit no matter what untill it's the SM suit. I just don't see the point of putting him in the suit yet. I think the suit should be saved for a moment when you see Clark wearing it and you go crazy. I just don't see the need for Clark to be put in the suit in one of the first episode of the season just to put him in the suit.
As for the red leather jacket I do wonder how comfotable it is. A couple of weeks ago I tried on a similer style leather jacket and to me I felt very restricted. But I'm also not a fan of most coats and jackets anyway, I'll take a hoodie any day of the week over a coat or jacket.

Hello again, I enjoyed this episode a lot.
However, one tiny part confused me.
Chloe faked her death using Cyanide and an antidote?
Cyanide poisoning can only be cured while you're experiencing the effects.
You can't fake your death using cyanide if you take the Antidote first or long before.. You just die.
Chloe should have researched it better. :)
If you take it while choking to death from your blood not receiving oxygen, you have to take it in a 1 minute window. And you will recover to full health in less than 3 minutes.
Which makes it utterly useless to use to fake your own death.
I'm not nitpicking or complaining, I just find it humorous that as smart as Chloe is, she was done in by failing to research properly. :) That's irony.
And yes, I am well aware she's going to come back in the 13th episode. :)
Hopefully.
"Why am I dead?" "You chose poorly."
I'm reminded of that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGFuHC75aY
And I am aware it's because of the writers not researching correctly. That doesn't prevent it from being humorous. I mean, as smart as Chloe is, you'd think she'd try to find a way to fake her death that doesn't end with her being forever dead.
Unless they want to do some very complicated story line and make her into Nekron or something equally absurd.

And I am aware it's because of the writers not researching correctly. That doesn't prevent it from being humorous. I mean, as smart as Chloe is, you'd think she'd try to find a way to fake her death that doesn't end with her being forever dead.
Unless they want to do some very complicated story line and make her into Nekron or something equally absurd.
You thought way to hard about real world limitations of science in a story where the color of meteor rock can have different biological effects on an Alien superhero who's high school friends are geniuses, aliens, gadget toting vigilantes and and suffer from constant amnesia.

Now this is what the jacket should have been like. You can really see the \S/ stand out there.
Yeah. i dont know whose idea it was to make the jacket and insignia solid red.

B, Canukhead, Obviously you two didn't see the part where I said I found it humorous, not that I was nitpicking/griping/being a jerk
I am fully aware that this show doesn't have to strictly obey the laws of reality.
That doesn't mean I can't mention it. I fail to see why I can't find it funny and comment on why it's happening based on things inside the Smallville universe, instead of outside, like it being the writer's fault.
So, please, explain to me why I can't bring it up and say how I find it funny? I never once said. "OMG! Smallville fails. They are the sux!" :(
I simply stated that Chloe "died" because she didn't do the proper research, and that I found it funny that she, who was extremely smart, and known for doing research, didn't do the research.
That is ironic and I found it funny.
From now on, I promise to mark my posts that are jokes with the proper tags.
If I made that joke/reference on K-Site, they would have understood my point.

I don't get why he doesn't just put on the suit he has at the fortress.

Cause 1)Jor-El took it and Clark doesn't know what he did with it and 2) It's frozen in a pillar and I'm sure Jor-El won't just let him take it until he's ready.

I'm guessing it was hijacked and locked up in the fortress as a setup for the final shot of the series.
Haven't they said they know what the last shot is going to look like?
I'm thinking they are going to give us the suited up flight out of the fortress like in S:TM. That would be cool and all, especially if it was followed by the space flight and smile at the camera that those movies ended with.

I never said you couldn't do something, or that I didn't notice you finding it "humorous". I simply said that IMO you spent far to much time on that ramble for very little purpose or point. I'm glad you find it so funny but....I think your sense of humor needs a little work. I'm easily entertained and all, but you seem to rofl over...well nothing. I never implied that you were "nitpicking/griping/being a jerk", I just pointed out the large waste of time and lack of imagination that I was seeing.

Fair enough. To be honest, humor is not universal. :)
Not everyone will find the same thing funny.

Er, he's going to wear the suit before the last moments of the last episode.
It would be really bad if he didn't fly/wear it before then.

Personally I hope the final scene of sv isn't just a simple flyout of the fos.

Same here, because honestly, even in the movie, it was a nice tease, but you didn't really see much until he saved Lois and the helicopter. With SV, you won't get anything else after the last shot, so I would expect it to be a something bigger and better.

Just finished watching the episode. About the new costume...okay, so it looks like Clark is missing a tear-drop tattoo on his cheek :awesome:

But it still looks good to me. Nice to see the red and blue colors again.
I like the Cat Grant stuff, I find it humorous and a nice change up in the series. Nice to see a real damsel in distress rather than another chick who knows kung-fu.
How ironic.

I agree that I am hoping that we get more than just that at the end. Its just my guess as to either what they will do or at least part of it since his suit was locked up there.

Well for me I want clark to have the suit for most of last episode. Then battle darkseid who has a real form out in the public. We can't just do a simple thing like shirt rips or flying out fos now with all the show has done in the past few years.
zerohour films
10-07-2010, 10:46 PM
I felt that same way and said that for a while as well.
Had SV ended back in S5 and before they were too deep into the superhero lore then yeah getting by with a shirt rip, etc. might have been fine.
Hopefully at this point though we get some decent Superman time.
And before anyone jumps in---- Yes I completely understand that this show has always been about the journey to Superman yada yada yada.
I think its obvious the show has reached a place that doesn't quite fit the original design so the finale and ultimate reveal of Superman IMO should adjust accordingly.

I heartily agree. The show has definitely gone far beyond its original mold/plan, so the finale of the show should go further than originally planned, as well.

Well sv is its own thing. Sure they use things from donner movie, to the various eras of comics. Then add there own spin on things. So I do hope we get a good end and leave on a hit mark.

I totally agree Webhead
that was the 2nd post I heard about Smallville aligning with the Donner Movie when actually it's aligning itself with multiple things and uses homages and mythos from various Superman comics, cartoons, tv shows and movies and it's own ideas.
-Clark is assertive but has hints of mild mannered personality and can be bumbling as times in episodes like Rabid when he accidently drop his phone and other things like Golden Age, Post crisis, Birthright, DCAU, George Reeve and Dean Cain Superman. CR Clark has his moments of assertiveness(diving in front of a bullet, asking Lois on a date, etc) but his clumsy, mild mannered personality was more notticable.
-Clark was a football star why Clark didn't do that much

Thanks, webby.
Although, there was a fairly major factual mistake on my part. Craig hasn't fixed it yet, but he's feeling a bit under the weather...
I hope he gets better soon, but until he gets that fixed, please mentally insert "Justice Society of America" whenever I mentioned Legion of Superheroes.
I read and re-read that so many times and I know thaat was wrong, but somehow my brain thought LOS instead of JSA...
Weird error and entirely a brain fart of mine.
