Honestly I've seen Tom act better before. His look after seeing the kiss and when he confronted Chloe...it actually lacked in emotion. I don't know why but it came across like that. He simply lacked emotion there.

Might be because after months of acting he is just tired. But he lacks passion of any kind in both scenes.

I don't think he's tiring out at all. He gives a good look of anger/sadness at finding out the woman he loved has shacked up with the man he doesn't trust.

The triangle plot thickens.:eek:

You have to be blind not to see the pain in Clark's eyes. Remember, he didn't break up with Lana because he didn't love her anymore. Seeing her with Lex just makes his choice even more painful to bear.

Last time I checked I wasnt blind, but I didnt see any emotion there, just a cold blank stare. Thats usually how he gets before he gets angry, so thats why I assumed he was pretty mad.
 
He is angry.. "He walks in on Clark in the loft, right after Clark has an angry rage that results in the destruction of his telescope and a framed photo of Lana. Clark is visibly affected and angry over his breakup with Lana."
 
Just like how Superman breaks the framed photo of Lois after learning of her and Richard in SR.
 
I think Clark's anger stems from the fact that Lana is with Lex, its not the actual breakup of Clark and Lana itself.
 
As it stands now, I'm really not looking forward to this episode . But since Lois is in it, and part of The storyline is conneted to "Oracle" & "Vessel" . I'll watch it .

I meant that as more of a generic "you." Sorry if it came off as personally directed.

I think he definitely *gets* angry, but it's anger borne of pain. My heart just breaks for him. I wish we'd had more scenes of Happy Clark, they seem so few and far between the Sad Clark, and SuperheroClark ones.

What is Clark saying to the hitman with the green k rock? I keep trying to make it out and I can't. The hitman says in reply, "I always do."

"You'll never get away with it."

Dont you think its good though? A step in the right direction. Severing his ties with Lana that dragged him down for so long and finally moving forward. I always felt this should have happened way earlier.
 
I think there's more to this Lexana relationship than meets the eye.

Hence Lana's request for Chloe not to tell Clark..

Lana is up to something....

This isn't how I ideally would have liked things to have gone with Clark and Lana.. no. If I had my way, they (TPTB/writers.. whoever) would have found a way to make them work as a couple, without the angst, without the constant see-saw, and without their "relationship" being such a negative focus of the show, and dragging things down.

Unlike popular opinion, I don't think being a couple would have killed the show. I don't buy into the "Moonlighting" theory. It can be done: "McMillan and Wife," "Hart to Hart."... hell.. Nick and Nora Charles! But it needs to be written with a proper sense of balance, keeping the focus on Clark, and at the same time not diminishing Lex. Not an easy feat, I realize...

I'd also have Lana be stronger and more involved in helping Clark, as opposed to Chloe being the do-all, go-to girl, all-around savior. Not that I'd get rid of Chloe, she's a great friend for both of them.

I'd still have Clark leave Lana at the end of the series though, through mutual decision. Not because I want that to happen, but because it's the right thing for Superman and his greater calling.

Since none of that will ever happen, :p then yes, I'd rather see them progress in other directions with both characters, and stop tormenting fans that hate the couple, and fans that love the couple.

I hope that, one day, they are able to find their way back to becoming close friends at the least. :(

I'd like to believe that but I doubt that's the case. She ain't that swift.

You gotta give her some credit though, she researched the first meteor shower and found out a spaceship landed then as well.
 
I mean its pretty understandable why Clark is pissed. You have to have just started watching Smallville to not understand why he would be pissed off (Yeah I'm talking to you clueless muther****ers y'all know who ya are). Even if Clark and Lana arent going out he'll always love her and look out for her in some shape or form. That's his around the way girl, even if there beefing he'll always look out for her. So of course it's gonna mess with him when his other friend turned enemy gets with her. Like duh, it dont matter if anyone says "Superman wouldnt do this, or react like that". He's not that dude yet and even if he was I'm sure it would still piss him off, just like if it was Chloe or Lois with Lex.
Basically...

I'm with you boyscout. I think Lana is up to something.

The script notes that say the lie is eating away at her. I think she initiates this argument with Clark which then leads them to stop talking to each other, because she cant handle lying to him, knowing that deep down he cares about her so much.

As to what she's up to, I have no idea. :confused:
 
I doubt Lana is up to something though just cause its so hard to envision her at the end revealing to Lex she was tricking him.

I just think its a way of giving Lana a bit more backbone. Its what fans have been screaming that they dont like about the character for all these years.

The thing that would make it interesting about Lana deceiving Lex is to have Lex deceiving Lana as well.
 
Sure, and that would be great but you gotta look at history and say "would she just suddenly switch up like that". And fans will always find a reason to hate Lana. I can hear the excuses now if she did do that (which would be great if she did trick Lex but that's beside the point)

I'm just thinking of what she said at the end of Void, about not being put in a place of vulnerability again. That she will be happy NO MATTER WHAT she's searching for.

We all know what she's searching for and maybe she thinks Lex is the only means of getting the answers that she so desperately seeks.

I dont think the fans would scream at her for wanting that. All this time she has been so reactive to any situation that she's put in that it would be a nice mixup for her to start being pro-active.

that can also mean that she somehow knows there will never be someone like Clark in her life again, who can be in position to affect/hurt her so much..
(except for Clark of course)..

Because.. Everything comes from Clark..

I love the line in ongoing Crisis where someone (Lex/Alex) says:
Everything comes from Superman..
