Ideas on how to PERMANANTLY bring in flight

[Asteroid-Man]

Well I have one...
Chloe is being held hostage by a few of Lex's workers on a plain. Clark somehow finds out. The pilots parachute as the plain is flying towards a mountain. Clark needs to save her, and with all his might he lifts off the ground and just misses the plain he slows down, way up high and we see him floating. He pushes towards the plain and he rips the door open, just when he is about to pull her out, the plain crashes. Clark now flies over to Lex's manssion and Lex now has his mechanically advanced supersuite (just not super giant like in the comics) Lex denies everything. Clark and Lex break into a fight and eventually Clark throws Lex into the Kryptonite chamber and Lex is unconciouss and when Clark looks at Lex and what he had done to him, he runs away. The damages caused to Lex make Lex forget what happend so he goes to see his security recordings. We don't see what Lex sees. Clark and Jimmy mourne the loss of Chloe and they become closser friends.
Not much,

What can y'all come up with?

But I don't want him to fly.

^^Blasphemer

 

[Kaboom]

i dont like your idea AM. and i dont want him flying until the last half of the last season.

 

[NHawk19]

We'll have to agree to disagree. I think it's time they have him fly and spread it out over a season. It's one of the most important powers he has and something that really sets him apart from "normal" people and makes him more god like.

It would really be interesting to see how this Clark reacts to it. Besides they've teased it enough.

Are they actually considering turning smallville into superman show, or is this just the hope of many fans. Is smallville going to end with no follow up show? Will they start a superman show based on smallville without Welling?

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's a pipedream right now, no plans for a follow up show.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

I think he will only deal with it in season 7.

this is why my thread should be a sticky

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I am not saying make it a superman show, but atleast let him fly. Superboy flied?

 

[Katsuro]

Plane dammit!! It's spelled plane!! P-L-A-N-E!!!

Also, that plot idea was lame.

 

[The Sage]

How do you permanently bring in flight? Get a bigger budget.

CASE CLOSED. Thank you, hold your applause.

 

[Thunder Emperor]

After seeing flight in heroes, i say give smallville the budget and bring it on.

 

[Migu-EL]

They only need to show clark physically flying once in a while like they do with super speed. The rest of the time they can just insinuate flight by showing him doing a super jump into the sky then show him land at whatever destination he needs to go to. That could be a way to cut down the budget on flight.

LOL... I think there's more truth to that than some might think.

I think also one of the reasons for they not using flight yet is...because frankly it's not needed. Sure fans love to see it but aside from Crusade or Zod there hasn't been an episode or situation that required Clark to fly.
For them to do it it would have to really be an extreme situation like saving a plane from crashing etc...
If he do it often now he would also be tracked down by all the radars. He would have to learn how to avoid them.
I think the right way to do it, is he uses it on season 7 premiere, then he spends most of the season trying to perfect it but rarely using it saving it for a middle episode and the finale in which he will already wear the suit.

There has been some situations where flight could had been used besides Zod and Crusade: in Void (s05e17), Clark ran to Honduras to search for Fine. That's a huge distance: Flight would have been faster.

Flight is extremely expensive: I agree with you touse it for the seventh season premiere but rarely using it because he's still uncomfortable with heights.

I dont know whether flight would have saved him any time, because he seemed to get to Honduras in a matter of moments regardless.

I think Bruce Wayne has layed it out very nicely and I would like to see it played out in Season 7 just the way he said.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

Thanks. I think it has to happen sooner or later because he's getting more and more confident in who he is and accepting his destiny which is key to make him fly.
As I stated months ago after Reckoning aired I truly believed that what he saw there was flight because unlike in the past, after he told Lana his secret he suddenly felt confortable with who he is so finally he was free from whatever was preventing him from flying (something that he - metaphorically or not - identifies as fear of heights).
I always thought that indeed him telling Lana was the final step needed for him to completly fly but right now I don't really know how they're gonna acomplish that after making Lana think so poorly of him.

I never thought of flight in terms of Clark being accepted by Lana, but its certainly a theme that has played throughout the series, so its a possibility to consider.

I agree with you that the "jump" in Reckoning did appear to be more aero-dynamically controlled than just a power jump. In my opinion it wont be true flight until we see him take to the skies horizontally.

I'm really disgruntled with Clark and Lana being at such odds with one another at the moment, but I am looking forward to seeing them rebuild their relationship.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

Yes but will it be possible ? I don't know if it can...

I that case of honduras I think they "overrated" super-speed: I would buy it if was Flash's case. There's been other cases where Clark took a lot more. Do you remember in "Ryan" when Clark used his Super-Speed to find that doctor to save Ryan? back then He took a lot more time and the distance was shorter.

Moving on...


has anyone saw the 8th episode of Heroes, " Seven minutes to Midnight"?

In that episode, Peter Petrelli flew: actually they showed us only the effect of the camera "flying".

Smallville could use this idea: give us the hint of Clark flying without seeing him, just the camera "flying" around, like in Rosetta. It wouldn't so expensive as the technique used in "Crusade".

If they shot several aereal shots, they could use it to give us the idea of Clark flying.
