5.20 - Fade (Spoilers)

yay edit away

Man **** them Chlarkers. **** Ships overall, they take the show way too serious.

I came away from this episode really shaken about Lana and her motivations. It felt as if Lana was not only mean spirited about the whole thing, but perhaps also out to actually harm Clark. She just felt like a different Lana, and I don't know this one at all. I do know, however, that Clark made a very good choice by letting her go. She seems unstable and would not be the correct person to share his secret with.

(And Serene, if you are reading this, what was your impression of Lana last night?)

I agree. I was so mad at her when she more or less said that Clark was untrustworthy. When has he ever been untrustworthy?

Lex tells Lana that there's a long line of people waiting to take a gun to his head and she doesnt ask WHY?

 

[blksuperman2]

That dude was a little too friendly with Clark at times

I got the same vibe

The only thing I didn't like was that Clark couldn't see the guy. He can also see in various spectrums of light so he should've been able to see him. Still a decent episode

 

[avidreader]

Great points!! Don't forget Clark's gutless lack of honesty with her about his secret, over the last 5 seasons.

He told her and she died. You think he wants to go through that again.

 

[avidreader]

why do I think I've seen this before ?

naah.. must have been "seeing" things again.. like that fat lady.. brrr..

I think the signifance of him putting the telescope away was to say its DEFINITELY over.

He told her and she died. You think he wants to go through that again.

From my POV, Lana is incapable of protecting Clark's secret at this point in her life. And he told her because he knew in a few weeks time that he was going to lose her. So technically, he told her out of fear and not confidence. That to me shows how little faith he has in her.

 

[avidreader]

And Lois.. yeah, we get it, she's his future. But I thought that scene with Martha was just silly. "Gee, Martha.. Ya think *I'll* ever meet a nice guy from a good family? Anyone *know* any guys like that?? Hmmm??"
I mean.. come the **** on! LOL.. Another nudge, nudge moment.

I actually thought those words were for Lana as well (even though she wasnt in the room).

 

[blksuperman2]

When's someone gonna post screen shots of lois doing Sit-ups????????????

 

[KalKai]

Already did.

 

[blksuperman2]

Yeah , I saw these, I want more....More I tell you.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Maybe-just Maybe, When You're Being Stalked By A New Foe W/the Power Of Invisibility, It's Not The Best Time To Have An Open Discussion About Your Powers & Weaknesses. And referring to it by its common nomenclature, which anyone can understand? Not a brilliant move either. Or Maybe That's Just Me.

 

[AgentPat]

I actually thought those words were for Lana as well (even though she wasn't in the room).

I had to explain that to my husband too, so yes, I'm in complete agreement with you. The foreshadowing wasn't just about Lois and Clark, it was about Clark's break with Lana.

As to the Chloe scenario... why do you guys torture yourselves and read that stuff? That was the LAST thing I thought ("Chlark") when Chloe was talking to Clark. K-site is too funny. It just is.

I really dont think Clark was that smart to do that. Then why did he bother to save her? And if he lost her than you dotn what an ex knowing your secret is capable of. He told her cause he loved her.

I know he loved her, but that doesn't change the fact that he felt he had to tell her in fear he was going to lose her. His conversation with Chloe in that very same episode confirms that. And he saved her because he didn't want her to die, just as he tried to do with Jonathan (from scenes we never got to see). To be honest, they're both unhealthy for one another, you've got five years full of evidence to prove that.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

This was a great show. I love how Clark has learned over the years not to take gifts for saving peoples lives. Now I do wonder how ever if he sold the big screen or kept it.

 

[blksuperman2]

What do you mean? He said he returned it.

 

[AgentPat]

^ Yup. He returned it.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Also I'll like to bring up a very good point. In opening with Clark & Chloe in Metropolis. Clark tell's her that he gave up being a Reporter after he left The Torch . So I'm guessing that something in Season 6 will push Clark back into The Journalism carrer, Choice . It might also be the thing that pushes Lois to becoming a reporter .

 

[avidreader]

Just reading around the traps, the general consensus seems to be that Lex was indeed telling Lana that he didnt know where Fine was and that he couldnt be found, only to be in direct conversation with him by phone and IM.

Now that he's won Lana he can resume his skilful act of only revealing what he wants her to know.

Is that Lex Luthor or what?

I had to explain that to my husband too, so yes, I'm in complete agreement with you. The foreshadowing wasn't just about Lois and Clark, it was about Clark's break with Lana.

Did your husband understand?

I think the signifance of him putting the telescope away was to say its DEFINITELY over.

Or that he THINKS, (again), that it's definiteley over..
But anyway, i think it's kind of half-full half-empty-glass debate..

As long as they have some options open, (and we all know that she will not end up with Lex), I'd say nobody's 100% right about their future in the short term..

I'm 100% sure that they will come back as friends, but as far as lovers, I think its over and I believe Clark will come to some kind of realisation of this early next season.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Two things I hate though. I feel Clark should not be hanging out around the DP as much as he is. I also feel you need to get rid of one or the other Chloe or Lois. To me they are the same person and I just feel there is no need for both.

On the other hand I like the fact that they are making it seem like Lex is using Lana to get to Clark.

 

[AgentPat]

Did your husband understand?

Mmm... he didn't really say. Gotta understand, hubby isn't into the "touchy feely" stuff LOL. He rolls his eyes during those kind of scenes, but he's up close and personal when Clark rides a nuclear missile into orbit or when Lex is being particularly baaaad. Hee! Different strokes for different folks.

I think the signifance of him putting the telescope away was to say its DEFINITELY over.

Also, something to keep in mind, the spoilers mentioned that he broke his telescope in a jealous rage. They *could* have cut that scene in editing and when he referred to his telescope not working, he may have meant it literally.

However, I think the scene worked better figuratively, as they shot it.
