Why did Lois phone Clark and not the police ? [Archive]

:rolleyes: I was wondering the Same thing, but so many people were just so happy because Lois had called Clark for help, I didn't want to be a 'party-pooper'. :\ It's especially out of place since Lois thinks that Clark is a 'normal' man. What did she expect him to do? :confused: Of course, she may have thought that by that time of night, not knowing his actual whereabouts, she may have thought that he was at home on the farm. By truck, that would be about 10 min. away, and maybe she could hold off her assailant until Clark got there. :p However, none of that makes any sense, since calling the Smallville police would've been the smartest thing to do. :lol:

Prolly because she did some "illegal" stuff to tick that guy off, and she didn't want to get in trouble when she thought maybe Clark was nearby and could help.

Yeah, it may be difficult to explain to the police that she stole Luthorcorp property (does LC still employ a great deal of Metropolis?) and how the assailant 'magically read her' and knew she'd stolen it. She can handle Clark explanations just fine.

It doesn't make much sense, though.

because IMO this episode, in terms of clark and lois scenes was clearly about clark and his threatened alpha male status around Lois. He's obviously been knocked down a few pegs in committed where he got his hopes up and Lois dashed them.

In Identity, throughout she's constantly impliying he's weak saying he's an erron boy, that she can take care of herself etc etc. which is not good because he has new found feelings for her since committed and he's jealous and threatened that a new man has come into her life...he has feelings for her and he thinks they are not returned so he's frustrated by this. He's annoyed that Lois is picking another male and its not him.

So when she calls him, it brings him and the audience to the understanding that she sees Clark as her protector, her alpha male.

Then the scene after..he's very smug and now more secure about where he stands..the first thing he says is "so i heard you date ended badly" with a smirk..

rather than asking her if she's "OK" LOL he comments on how her date ended badly, clearly throughout this was about clark and his threatened alpha male status around lois.

He's happy, smirking, he got to knock out the opposing male, she called him to protect her, she has his back..in his mind, for her being a potential mate he's back on track.

Hmm. I don't know why she called Clark..But I don't think 911 would have been any more helpful...Not in her situation..I mean she was calling right in the middle of the action...Still physically fighting while dialing...Well almost...You get the point..I mean I don't think she would have had time for "911 what is your emergency? Ma'am please stay calm..Where are located?...Blah blah' I think given the situation...Maybe she called Clark out of habit...Or instinctively? Like she called Chloe in S6 when she got kidnapped...Maybe she thought they could handle telling the police better than she could at the present time? Does that make any sense? Sorry about the ramble...
Just thinking out loud..

Well remember earlier this season when she was drunk at Chloe's engagement party and she left a message on their answering machine saying, "Guess who came to my rescue? It wasn't Oliver Queen, it was Clark Kent..."

It seemed to me that just like all the other girls in SV she is figuring out that when you need a good rescuing you don't call the police...ya call CK. She's realizing what Chloe summed up long ago, "I knew it would be you. It's always you (that does the saving.)" She's just too proud and sarcastic to admit it. That's why she's so fun.

I think she knows CK is special and she suspects that he is indeed the good samaritan of Metropolis.Well,if she didn't,she might do now.She called Clark and the minute later,the guy who was trying to kill her was knocked out just like that.She said that she is good at keeping secrets ;)

DontCha

11-01-2008, 10:56 PM

Alpha male....hmmm...ok. that would make sense, why she would called him. or are you giving the writers too much credit?

not really, they seem to be pretty good with simple continuity and believable development when it comes to clark and Lois

I mean after Lois shoots him down 2 episodes earlier we then get him tetchy with her when he first meets her again. She undermines him at least like 3 times to his face. Implies that he's weak All this whilst rubbing in his face that she has a new man in her life. Then she says she can take care of herself and that she doesnt need him, Clark doesnt like this as his little one sided fake smile suggests. And when her new love interest actually comes in it gets worse for him, remember clark has no idea she's being fake. So he actually feels jealous, hurt, weak and knocked off of his pedistal when it comes to Lois, And whats worse he now knows he has romanic feelings for her..so its a lot more important to him where he stands.

Clear theme of alpha male jealousy and threatened position is raised in this scene.

So where does clark stand?

She calls him for protection rather than anyone else. Because she sees him as her protector, remember she loves him which requires a GREAT amount of trust. It tells us and him who's obviusly been feeling rather useless to her that she sees HIM as her protector and alpha male. And most women only see their mate as their greatest protector.

I saw it as she grabbed her phone hit repeat last call who was clark for whatever reason so she accidently called clark in time for him to save her. Plus She just wanted help she didn't care who from plus she was hoping he wouldn't kill her if she was on the phone if she failed to beat him while fighting him.

11-01-2008, 11:43 PM

The police may not have been able to help her IMO. Sebastian was pretty upset and he only gave her like 3 seconds to make that call and three seconds isn't enough to give the police your location. But Clark knew where she was (or he had a good idea), so Lois trusted him enough to call him.

migo

11-02-2008, 01:30 AM

That's a good point about location. Clark was worried about Lois, so if she calls for help and it goes dead, he knows it's that the date went badly. Then he can call the cops.

This is of course ignoring the fact that the cell phones have GPS location when you call 911, and they already established this in Episode 1 where they figured out where Oliver was based on his cell #.

I think despite her snarky comments to Clark all the time she realizes that he will do whatever it takes to protect the ones he cares about. She remembers what happened when they were trapped in the lie detector chairs. It was Clark that got them out. I am one of the many that feel that Lois knows more than she lets on. Why else would she not allow Clark to shake that guys hand?

i think that she has an inkling that clark is the samaritan, but maybe doesn't want to believe it yet....

Judging by the amount of time Clark has mysteriously shown up whenever she's in trouble..I understand why she'd call him. The guy has an habit of saving people.

Lois probably subconsiously knows Clark is the good samaritan:p

She called because she knows that there's something special about him (powers). She saw him using them in Committed.

quinny06

11-02-2008, 01:58 PM

I don't think it's got anything to do with alpha males, or her subconsciously knowing about his powers. I think its because of the same reason Lana and Chloe have called him when their lives have been in danger (before they knew about his powers): it doesn't make sense, but somehow Clark Kent will always come to your rescue. When he does it so many times, it just becomes instinct.

sinomi

11-02-2008, 07:29 PM

I think everyone who in trouble will call someone who really close to her/him, someone they loved/ trust. And for lois someone is clark, the first one cross her mind at that time

bychance

11-02-2008, 07:33 PM

I think it was natural reaction/instinct for Lois to call Clark for help. Of course calling the police would of been more logical (unbeknown to her, Clark was actually the better choice)

Because that is what Chloe has always done. But it makes sense that Chloe calls Clark because she knows about his abilities. That's why she calls him her "army of one". In the past, this character has called Chloe, so it makes no sense that she is suddenly calling Clark 24/7. Oh, wait, yes it does........ It's a glimpse into her budding affection for Clark. Right.

You got it right on that last sentence. Plus Lois has wisened up to realize Chloe is useless in these situations. Especially now that her "tears" can't help anyone. Lois may joke around with Clark and say things like she'll protect him but she knows Clark can handle himself in a fight and has in fact fought alongside him.

Besides, you know that if Lois called Chloe all Chloe would do is call Clark. So why waste time with a middle man.

It makes sense for Lana and Chloe to call Clark for help and it really isn't out of the ordinary. It is OOC for her to call Clark because it is not something she had been doing in the past. But it did create a convenient opportunity to have a scene where Clark saves her.

Some of this is very deep but i'm afraid the real reason she absurdly called Clark was because the writers knew that the realistic option of calling the police would have had her killed.

SteveS

11-03-2008, 03:24 PM

None of the above. The reason the call to ClarkMan is being questioned is that it is contrived, not real. Everyone knows in the U.S. to call 911 for the police, so there really is no logic in lois (the super-tuff military brat) in calling a mild mannered copy-boy in her moment of danger, he could be anywhere. If she had called the police they could have at least known where the call was coming from.

It was a poor contrivance. Better to have lois talking to Clarkman or already be in the process of calling him when she is attacked, that could have been plausible, but really sometimes the writing on this show is so poorly done.

SupesComicFan

11-03-2008, 03:37 PM

I think everyone is overthinking.

1. Clark knew where Lois was, he had seen her earlier.
2. From #1, Lois would have known (or thought she knew) that he was in Smallville, because he was JUST THERE and she doesn't know he can get to France in three seconds.
3. He has saved her 8 million times before.
4. She trusts him and loves him (I am not saying romantically, but they ARE friends).

Why does it have to be about 'shipping? So what if Chloe has done it before? Is Clark supposed to say "screw you" to other people asking for help? What kind of Superman is that?

DontCha

11-03-2008, 03:43 PM

She did not remember the number to call in emergencies for the police (it's all so confusing) plus 'they' needed an excuse to have ClarkMan save her life twice in the episode. I think she should have called 'The General.'

lois always seeks a fight, almost always loses, and almost never chooses the intelligent option, flight.

even the toughest people can get the crap beaten out of them steve, as Chloe said ometimes even the heros need to be saved.

See thats the thing. Lois has a big tough front but she's actually quite soft and human but refuses to let people see it, its similar to her incarnation in the comics too. She says she doesnt need anyone to help her but she gets into trouble all the time and its clark/superman who is her protector.

so its bad that Lois is being like iconic lois..because...:rolleyes:

In Harry Potter, someone who wishes to run from danger to save their own skin would sit comfortably in Slytherin house, Steve. Where people think its better to run away in the face of danger, rather than stand your ground in the face of danger to protect yourself and others. You're right it is the smart thing to save your own skin, but its also the most selfish, cowardly and undesirable of traits to have as a human being. Im glad lois expresses none of these because they are traits often given to the enemy of a story.

The hero of a story is often called brave, but he's also called stupid because of his willingness to throw himself into danger for his own pride/protection and to protect others.

lois is foolish because she seeks out confrontation when she has neither the strength nor skills to protect herself, maybe she is punch drunk. Stupidly thinking that because her father was a career military person, she has inherited some cartoonic delusion of power. In reality, by now she would have needed extensive plastic surgery to her face and false teeth like iconic Margot Kidder. lois is the iconic cartoon of 'fools rush in where wise men fear to tread.'
Her actions have little or nothing in common to the individual who shows courage and self sacrifice in the protection for others, most especially in private situations where lois' person is the only one under threat. Instead, she gets her head handed to her and her butt kicked frequently, yet no common sense of a connection lights a dim bulb in her head. She is foolish, not courageous. :)

So true! I grew up with Superman my whole life so having Lois be such a big part of Smallville and Clark's life this season is what keeps me excited and enjoying season 8 so much more than previous seasons.

If the show was only going to last four or five seasons, then I would not have cared if Lois and Jimmy were in it. But once it got past high school, I was ready for Clark to make the switch from farmboy with Lana to Daily Planet reporter with Lois and Jimmy.

Lois phoning Clark instead of 911 and then telling him in the next scene together that she wanted to "protect" him makes no sense whatsoever except to show the audience that Lois has a major crush on Clark and is trying to come off as Ms. Independent while, at the same time, trying to be near him as much as possible. Typical female in love. I can relate.

So what should she have done in that particular moment? Imitate some kind of animal and pretend to be dead? Get shot? Get hit? Because that guy was about to kill her and there was no way out beside trying to knock him out ;) it's only normal to fight for your life.

she doesnt seek confrontation, Since when?

give me some examples.

There was the time in combat but yet again, you seem to be taking moments where she has no choice in the matter and implying that she's doing it on purpose.

Chle should be dead after all her beatings, she got punched in the face full throttle by clark kent and didnt even get knocked out or badly hurt..

you know what. I might make an avatar with chlioe saying rejected by clark man..because its true..never gonna happen.

Yes, we are. What I meant was that if I'm going to explain my reasons to anyone it would be that specific user. I'm ending this now because, like I said, this isn't the place;)

I remember one avatar not too long ago one with Kristen Kreuk with horns and goatee.That was very offensive not only to the character but,the actress too.

Well, to answer the question, I found it normal when Lois phoned Clark and not the police. It reminds me the Lois and Clark adventures, they are working together, they are friends (ok they are more but for the moment, they think they are just friends), Lois begins to think "Clark" for everything, it is the story, we can't change it...

I believe Lois called Clark because it was her first instinct. She had very little time to think, so she went with her gut feeling. And that was to call the one person who's been on her mind a lot lately. That is Clark. Not to mention he's probably #1 on her speed dial.

Was it a reasonable move by Lois to call him rather than the cops? How cares, it’s Smallville!<o></o>

She called him because he is the first person she thought of,it's pretty clear and also,it's his show.He had to do something...after all he is Superdude :D

No,she's still posting but,she changed her avatar though;)

Exactly. ITA.

I also think the reasons are actually articulated in this episode. Not by Lois, but by Jimmy. Knowing about his powers, or not knowing about his powers, Clark gives the impression of someone you can call when you're in trouble, and he'll be there to help. He's someone that people feel like they can count on in a pinch. Lois is one of those people.

Also, Lois called Clark and asked for help. Maybe she assumed that he'd call the police along with coming over? Maybe she was in the midst of a fight for her life, and she just acted on instinct without giving it that much thought. Actually, its not that hard to fanwank it if you aren't bound and determined to hate on a character.

And wouldn't it be nice if none of our icons was deliberately baiting and offensive? Because really, doesn't that just encourage the "opposing team" to answer in kind? Seems like we could all behave a bit better then that. YMMV

I also think it is a combo of instinct, the fact that she cares about him, spends all day with him, and probably has him as #1 on her speed dial. Also, I have had a relative in a crisis where 911 would have been smarter and they called their sister first. It wasnt logical, but it is what happened.

I think she wanted her last dying moments to be spent with Clark talking in her ear, or listening to his voice mail greeting one last time. At least I would if I were her...

So what should she have done in that particular moment? Imitate some kind of animal and pretend to be dead? Get shot? Get hit? Because that guy was about to kill her and there was no way out beside trying to knock him out ;) it's only normal to fight for your life. But I guess that if she's no Lana or Chloe to pass out even before they get hit... that makes Lois look foolish :rolleyes:

ETA: BTW, I feel in the mood to ask a mod's opinion about your avatar hence I consider it pretty offensive and it's also a promotional pic of the ACTRESS not the character. I'll think about it.

Feel free to seek help.

She is foolish, not courageous. :)

Sometimes I wonder if there's a difference between the two. I suppose it's just which way you look at it. One man's fool is another man's hero.
I mean Lionel asked (In Veritas, S08E15)
"I wonder is it boundless courage you have or incorrigible stupidity?"
and Lois answered "Potato Patato."

So it may be a bit of both, but truly I think that's part of Lois Lane's character. She may not ever think things through, and her actions may look foolish to the casual observer, but she's always seeking the truth when she's doing these quote on quote "foolish" things, and I think that's pretty courageous. Not to mention she always at least TRIES to fight back WHEN she get's into trouble!

Perfect example: Lois bucking up to Maxima, even after seeing the powerful woman throw a vehicle across a street.... and being in that vehicle when it was thrown.

Actually a lot of people who risk their lives trying to stop a crime are seen as foolish because they should have waited for the police so they could do their jobs. In my opinion that person who died trying to save a life was courageous the person just failed.

On the other hand if the person succeeded in stopping the crime the person would be hailed as a hero.
