8.15 - Infamous - Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[b24]

It's not, because most AU eps tend to stick to one character. This one has multiple storylines, so it's closer to Abyss if anything.

not really seems like in this episode clark feel he should everyone who he actually is because that way he won't hide himself while saving people

but jor-el interferes and gives him another AU trip where clark see what will hapenn if everyone knows his secret probably his close one will die more troubel and in the end of epsiode clark relaizes he nees 2 persoanlities not one

that's what i think main story of episode

That's more or less what I suggested earlier, difference being you're suggesting a preview and I'm suggesting a do-over:

Maybe it's Jor-El's Last(?) Stand.

Clark tries to do all this on his own terms and expose himself, with disastrous results - Chloe and/or Lois get killed. He's finally convinced he needs a secret ID, but is it too late? Jor-El turns back time once more, to when Linda Lake threatens to expose Clark. Clark has to figure out another way to deal with the situation...

I so wonder how the heck is this episode going to turn out.

 

[LexFactor]

I knew Chloe would get her memory back. I said it wouldn't last. I just hope this isn't a step backwards with Clark relying on Chloe all the time.

As for Jor-El turning back time, I hope this doesn't happen again. It was bad enough in Reckoning. One second Jor-El is saying that they are not gods then the next he's telling Clark to take the magical crystal that can go back in time.

Jesus, I sound negative. I shouldn't read spoilers.

Maybe she just finds out with the rest of the world, because everyone is going to know, including Lois, and if things don't remain that way, maybe Chloe will go back to not knowing...i don't know.

I don;t mind if Jor el or someone takes the knowledge away because I'm happy we get to see something we never would have seen otherwise, Clark being a publicly recognized hero.

 

[Migu-EL]

This should be a fun episode. I wonder what would happen if the following scenarios do not take place: An alternate universe, mind wipes, and time travel through a magical crystal?

 

[SuperDaniel]

I hope to God that the Glasses(!) are in this episode!!

This should be a fun episode. I wonder what would happen if the following scenarios do not take place: An alternate universe, mind wipes, and time travel through a magical crystal?

MM could show up disguised as someone else and pretend that was his real appearance but that he'd been taking Clark's shape for the rescues (giving the REAL Clark an alibi). Then he could zoom off (fly!) before anyone else could question him. The media would issue a bunch of retractions and apologies, and everyone would thereafter refer to Clark as "the guy the blur was imitating." Clark *should* then be completely off the hook in terms of his friends & family being safe. Even if Lois or Chloe were to see the real Clark in action later, even face-to-face, even in a liplock, they'd assume it was the other guy.

Easy out, and no memory wipes or time travel or suspension of disbelief or even glasses needed. All would hold up until a real Clark-Lois kiss; then she'd realize he was indeed the other guy she'd kissed (both as GA and as the blur). Then Lois would know, but not the rest of the world, and I think most of us could live happily with that.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Na..don't like this alternative...Why would he pick Clark out of all the citzens in the world?

 

[ariellem]

^ I think you missed my point. Clark IS the one who's the blur, but when he and MM realize Clark's putting himself and his family and friends in danger, MM does a coverup. MM, shapeshifted to look like Clark, does a few good deeds when the real Clark is obviously elsewhere (preferably on TV). Then MM shifts into some other form, in public, to show that the real Clark wasn't the one doing *those* deeds. He can give some BS speech about how he landed on the planet and was imprinted with Clark's appearance or something if that would help. Ergo, the public and media will assume that none of the deeds were done by Clark. Clark is no longer the focus of their intense attention. MM goes back to what he normally does.

 

[b24]

other than chloe's memroies epieose sounds good

it has kind of epic feel to it epsiode seems like turnning point for clark

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i really do wonder will this be taking place in reality, a dream world, or another alternate reality deal. I seriously doubt dc would sign off on letting the episode end with the whole world knowing about clark without no real superman identity formed yet.

 

[Spirited Away]

I just can't believe Tori Spelling of all people is the one behind this!

 

[b24]

^^^it would have been better if it was lex who theratens to reveal clark's secret in Infamous

but MR is not coming back anytime soon so they had brought back tori spelling

 

[Webhead2006]

yea, lets just wait to see how this turns out. Hopefully we get some more spoilers soon that will clear things up.

 

[b24]

what i like to see reference to superman movie secen where jor-el tells clark that he can't protect people for 28 hours a day and superman says it's 24 hours

 

[Webhead2006]

lol that would be funny. Like i said the other day hopefully with more news out on this episode things get more clear on what they are going for in the episode.

 

[b24]

^^^ myabe it's me but this epsode will be similar to Man of Steel comic issue

 

[Zorex]

Whatever the case may be in this episode... I hope the way out of the mess isn't issue. I want it to be a struggle, I want there to be consequences, dammit!

 

[b24]

^^^ it is more like spoliers can be misleading

remember kara teaching clark to fly

Or maybe instead of MM shapeshifting infront of everyone, let them think that the red and blue blur just happens to resemble Clark. That would explain the reason why Lois, Jimmy and everyone else who knows Clark wouldn't suspect him to be Superman in the future. It would also clear up the whole "glasses" issue.

 

[Migu-EL]

^^^ it is more like spoliers can be misleading

remember kara teaching clark to fly

That was going to happen but was cut out due to the writers strike.

 

[ZIPBAGS]

I have a feeling like this is another one of Jor-El's "what if?" scenarios. Like when he showed Clark what would happen if he never was around.

 

[Migu-EL]

Could be.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea everyone here and ksite boards keep thinking this is either another dream world, or alternate reality deal. Really since DC has to sign off on most aspects of the show they wouldnt really sign off on leaving the episode to end with the whole world knowing of clark when he doesnt ever have a true hero persona.
