I prefer Lori over Chloe or lana. In fact before Lois, Lori was Clark's second love. So bring her in .
Yeah, I know Lori's history, I just think that with 3 leading female characters in the story already, bringing in a fourth just complicates and convalutes the storyline too much. You would have to bring her in with a detailed storyline for her history and then explore why things dont work out between them.
There's already a character there that can do that, whether she's canon or not.
Yeah and that was one out of TWO episodes. that you saw the transformation, I'm talking about as a whole Season 5 was the worst {half the damn season was about his love life & him wanted to be human.}
That was just an example. Its hard to sit here and rack your brain for specific quotes in each episode. However, take Fragile for example, that was an excellent episode to show Clark Kent becoming the Man of Steel.
He takes Maddie in, reaches out to her and gets her to utter her first words aloud in 8 years. No Foster Parents, Shelters, Counsellors or anyone has been able to do that.
He sees her powers and her reaction to it and he speaks to her calmly and makes her feel good about herself.
Clark figures out how to track her down when she disappears (it always makes me laugh when people say Chloe is the brains, but Clark's the one with the brains, Chloe's the one with the tools).
That was a perfect episode to show how far along Clark has come.
Even in Lexmas, he was able to talk a drunken suicidal Santa out of jumping off the roof.
I don't care about the action, as much as how the character is protradyed, This Clark is more like Peter Parker/Spider-man [The early years] Than Clark Kent. It took many Lessons in lose & pain for Spidey to finally embrace his DESTINY. So I guess will have to happen to SV's version of Clark. Because he's still NO Where Near The MAN he's DESTINED to become.
(1) He still hasn't accepted his DESTINY
But he doesnt know what that destiny is. You cant accept something while your still searching for it.
(2) He hasn't Embraced his powers or his Kryptonian origin
He does embrace his powers, he uses them all the time to help people. He hasnt accepted his Kryptonian heritage but he hasnt been given a good enough reason to either.
(3) He still a whiny, self centered Jackass Farmboy
He has feelings and expresses them. If he was self-centred then it would be all about him. He's been shown repeatedly that he chooses the happiness of others above his own happiness. He could have gone off to several different colleges, but he chose to stay close to home so he could help his father on the farm.
I'm not sure why you think he's a jackass?
I agree he is a farmboy, but he deferred his college education to help his mom on the farm.
(4) He still doesn't understand his DESTINY
Well he know's that he wants to help people, that's been an ongoing theme. However, he still is under the impression that Jor-el sent him here to be some kind of Ruler and he doesnt want that and as I said above he doesnt know what that destiny is yet.
(5) He still hasn't accepted Jor-EL has his Father
He's angry with Jor-el and rightly so. He's complicated his life to know end. However, he goes to him when he needs higher up advice. Sacred, Commencement, Vessel.
(6) He hasn't continued his Training .
See my answer to 5, and if he continued with his training and completed it then the show would be over.
Lana has repeatedly used her feelings for Clark and told him that he was the one that chose to end the relationship. Lex said that he didnt take Lana from Clark, Clark let her go.
Clark has not on any occasion risen to the bait. He didnt argue Lex's point or go along with Lana that his feelings for her was the reasoning behind the questions he was asking.
He made his decision about her and he's getting on with the job at hand despite whether he believes his choices were right or wrong.
Yeah, big time.
My 15 year old son when he was about 5 or 6, loved Superman IV to death, so it must have had something in it for the little ones.
Lois is the only woman in his life that will Challenge to be Better than he is. {She brings out The Best in him, She the only one that understands him both sides
In Smallville's point in time Lois understands him extremely well. Its probably one of Lois's strongest abilities, to really understand people. She's often the one shown to be able to read a person's thoughts. Something that I imagine will serve her greatly later on.
However, Chloe and Martha are both understanding of him and offer him very sage advice. I think Lana could too, if she knew his secret.
No way, he still not their . not even Close . The only ones that are closer towards their rightfully places in the mythology is Lois Lane & Lex Luthor . Clark's got a long long way to go.
Well he's not there of course, because the show would be done.
However,
- He does have his moral compass in place
- He does use his powers to save people, even those that may not deserve to be saved.
- He tries to help people that cant help themselves (Chloe in Tomb).
He could be a little more pro-active, but I think its the risk of showing his true identity that prohibits him from doing this alot of the time and the fact that he's not too trusting of Jor-el.
He could think a little more on world issues, but he hasnt come to the conclusion yet that "one person can make a difference".
I think with one possibly two more seasons to go, alot of this will start to happen.
