Things you wish they showed on Smallville instead of Offscreensville

[angelfire east]

Sometimes things are left out on the show because of time restrictions, they don't fit in the follow of the episode or the writers are lazy or forgetful or many other reasons. Whatever the reason what are some things you wish they showed us.

Here are some one the things I'd liked to have seen:


The rest of Clark and Chloe's secrets conversation from Arrival. I'd like to know what exactly he told her and didn't tell her
Lana's and Clark's conversation after he came back from the dead in Hidden
Lionel, Lois, Lana, Chloe and Lex's reactions to the news of Jonathan's death
Nell and H. Small's reactions to all the time Lana has been seriously injury and almost died
Gabe's reaction events of Tomb
Gabe's reaction all the times Chloe has almost died
what happened with Lex's blood transfences. Those e-mails aren't enough and don't count in my mind
Lana's reaction to Jason’s dead. Something more then what we got. She dated the guy for a year and was in love with him. They had their problems and relationship was busily over but she didn't know he picked his mother over her or was working with his mother.
Lana's reaction to Chloe's death. She didn't seem very sad or effected by her 'best friend/sister' death.
More of Lana's reaction to finding out Clark was alien, it really uncut her character and felt fake to me. I wanted to see her questions, her feelings how she came to her decision
Lex's reaction to finding out Clark was sick, like Martha, in Fever
Lana, Jason and Chloe's reactions to Alicia's death and their reaction to knowing they got it all wrong when it came to her
Clark, Lana, the Kent’s and Chloe's reaction to the new that Lex was shot on x-mas eve

[angelfire east]

LOL

another thing I'd have liked to see is

More of Clark's reaction to Alicia's death. He competely crushed after her death, the nest episode and rest of the season it's like "Alicia who?"

[myankskent]

The Clark/Lana conversation certainly would be something that I'd want to see as well from Hidden after Clark blew up the rocket. You're telling me that Lana wasn't at all curious why Clark looked like he was in an explosion? Maybe this is why she brought the medical records to Lex, because she was even more curious after seeing Clark after she thought he had died. This was just never shown onscreen. It made me laugh though from what Lana told Lex when she went to the mansion. She said that Clark was normal just like the rest of us, and meanwhile she just saw all of his clothes ripped apart and burned up, but yeah, he's normal.

Clark caring that Pete is gone.

[joeybw]

Lana actually remembering the secret

A flashback of Alicia is needed.

This is a good one.

I would like it if they had a funeral for the sheriff!

Why so savage? :\ :p

[tw190]

A visit from Aunt Nell, Henry Small or Gabe Sullivan would be nice. They are these kid's parents, well most of them, and it's like they all just disappeared. Even Chloe just saying, "I'm going to visit Dad this weekend" or Lana saying, "I haven't seen Aunt Nell in a while. Maybe I'll give her a quick call" would be a step up.

Because it's the sheriff and because violence should be added to this show whenever possible. That's why I'm a horror movie fan. Back on topic: I would also like it if they explained what exactly happened to Helen's character. Did she have a parachute or did she just go splat when she hit the ground after jumping out of the plane.

Explanation for how Swann ended up with the key at the end of legacy as well.

[allison89]

Oh, and Clark telling Choe how Dr. Swann was the one who told him about his kryptonian heritage...

[cotton candy girl]

I want to know who the heck got Lionel out of jail. He said something like "I should have known it would be you", but did they ever show who it was?

[Aloof]

Yes! I was wondering how Lionel got a jail-free card, too!

I wish they brought Helen back, and then we see Lex's reaction! :lol:

What about this? BETTER security for Lex! :p

[allison89]

Wait, didn't Genevieve Teague get Lionel out of jail?

[Carly22]

more of Lex, especially with his shirt off;)

[Nospam]

What Clark told Chloe about his secret. I am going to guess it was everything because she used the word "Kryptonite" for the meteor rock and that was never discussed on air. Also, what he told her about his biological father. This would have been interesting to watch, but probably not dramatic enough for TPTB.
Lana's full reaction to Clark's secret. I felt totally cheated in Reckoning how they just skate over that whole event. We never really do see her reaction.
How Chloe, Lana, and Lois dealt with the death of Jonathan and Lex and Lionel's reaction.

[Carly22]

And it was Genevieve Teague that got Lionel out of jail, she and Lionel have a conversation about it somewhere in season 4

TV standards held the grounds for that particular death for a reason. SV has limits to what it can show.

Once again, we're dealing with a show that has limitations and standards. You're not going to get anywhere near a horror film on this show and you can look at just about any attempt at supernatural for the reasoning behind that and why there isn't much horror on the show at all.

I was obviously kidding in that post. I understand that there are limits for tv shows. I actually think that smallville gets pretty graphic for a television show as it is. Remember in Forever, I think that is what the name is, the one where the kid makes the fake smallville high. The scene where a frozen body breaks on the floor was pretty explicit.

[romantize]

i would really like to see clark wonder about that time lionel called him son he bascially revealed his secert by saving him and then its just over and he didn't see anything??? pretty unrealistic and unexplained

Once again nothing that the standards didn't find as an issue. It could have a lot more gruesome than what it was we saw. SV is pretty tame in that department.

Enough of me babbling though, this is something for another thread and back to topic on my end...

[Saber]

I would have liked to have seen:

1. Who does Lex have hiding in level 33.1
2. Some more kiddy Lex & Clark flashbacks.
3. Lex trying on wigs because he wants hair.
4. A flashback of Lionel when Lex was first born, I would like to hear his proclamation to his newborn son.
5. Clark practicing his new powers over a period of time, like flying.
6. Clark trying on some new clothes already.
7. A scene where the family remembers the baby Martha lost.

Lois's reaction to being a witch, smae goes for Chloe.
More of Clark's reaction to finding out that their's another Kryptonite on earth (Dr.Fine)

I thought he would have told her everything but he didn't because in Splinter Chloe didn't know about the effacts of red Kryptonite on Clark. I would have thought that would be something he would tell her right away. Since he was so abusive to Chloe for the three months he ran away. Did he tell her it was Lionel in his body? Did he tell her how he met Lois (Kal-El)? Did he tell her the details of Isbel and how he frought her? I'm just don't know. Things I thought Clark would have told Chloe he didn't so...

since the writers we have now dont give alot of detail in the show.. i agree with you they need to show alot of this stuff which they dont that makes me mad, but anyway yeah i wish they showed what was on the paper jonathan was so pissed about that made him have a heart attack, and alot more things that i wish they coulda showed on smallvile but just cant think of anymore as of now :\

You are absolutely right, I forgot about that. You would think that Clark would fill her in on the Red Kryptonite and the transference with Lionel (well, at least the Red Kryptonite) as it was a significant moment in his life. Thinking back, I believe the only reason the scene was written such that Clark did not tell Chloe about Red K is to lend credence to the fact that Chloe worked out that Clark is infected with Silver K. Although it would have worked if she already knew about Red K to begin with, so the entire premise is unecessary in my opinion.

That is something I should add to the list: Clark's admission to Chloe that he was infected with Red K and that it caused his flight to Metropolis and strange behavior. Then, a nice apology and if Lana ever learns about the secret the same for her. I think they both deserve it. And that's yet another reason he needs to tell Lana his secret: that keeping the secret from those he cares about causes more hurt that it avoids.

Anyway.

Word on all of those, but I think we're going to get our wish on a least one of them, but if you want to know more check out the spoiler section.

As for watching Clark test out his new powers we've already had episodes like Heat, X-ray and Whisper.

[GooN]

id like them to explain why every guy who has ever been knocked out by clark using his super powers....especially those who work in luthercorp haven't told anyone about it? or are they all in bellevue too....

[MamaK]

Heck yeah GooN. I've often wondered if ALL of these folks (and they're too numerous to count) have run off to a distant place, like Siberia! And while we're at it, why don't Lana and Lois ever question why Clark is there one second, and quite literally is gone in a flash the next? How is that possible EXCEPT with superspeed?

[buddy232]

Lana's full reaction to Clark's secret. I felt totally cheated in Reckoning how they just skate over that whole event. We never really do see her reaction.

Lana's reaction when Clark died. How could she just say okay!


It bothers when things happen on the show and then on the next show it is just forgotten like it never happened. Like Clark's death. How could all the character just accept it. Like Lana hating Lex for trying to take the stone and now it's like it never happened. Like what did Clark do with the stone Lana gave him. We know, but don't you think Lana would ask. Like why did Lex, Lionel and all quit looking for the stones. How do they know Clark has them all and it is over.

T.V. series writers seem to have short memories

all i wanna see in smallville is jason and clark naked

[Tomsgurl88]

Lana's and Clark's conversation after he came back from the dead in Hidden

Yeah what the hell was this about?? I mean i can understand the first thing Lana cared about was that Clark was alive and everything and the sweet embrace between the two but COME ON after all of that i would of least said to Clark where the hell where you??!! You're dead then you're not dead, you disappear to god knows where, then you show up out of nowhere looking like you came out of a war. I mean that was just ridiculous.

[Mrs.Bizzaro]

yeah, you would think lana would question clark's death especially when she watched him die at the hospital and made that dramatic stumble and sob to the lobby where his parents were waiting.

I'd like to see more follow up from the guest superheros (flash, aquaman, cyborg)..they come for about one or two days and then dissappear and no one asks about them, like, "hey, clark, have you talked to that dude that i busted my car on lately?"..."What happened to that dude that saved my life when i was drowning?"..."what happened to that cute kid that told me he was from the future?"

Also i would like to see more clark and martha interaction...i mean, now that pa kent is gone...each other is all they have...

more shelby

One explanation...bad writing. That's why their relationship is hated by some, because they keep testing the limits of what they can get away with without Lana finding out about Clark but now there are too many inconsistencies in the plot. The old, Lana gets knocked out while Clark uses his powers is way overdone, so they develop these new things that happen where the viewer can continuously see the ridiculousness in why Lana hasn't found out yet.

[watcher4]

Jonathan still alive

An end to the Clana angst-whether they stay together for good or break up for good.

Some reference to the sheriff's death and what a good sheriff she was-maybe, even her funeral

A love interest for Chloe-besides Clark!

(I know I might get some bashing for these)

[MamaK]

Yeah Mrs. Bizzarro, I agree. What happens to these Superheros (and for that matter, the nice FOTWs) after they leave Smallville. I realize that the writer's are probably trying to avoid falling into the criticism of, "you used these characters and ideas already - stop recycling", but I think a lot of people would like some sort of follow up. Just like Pete dropped off the face of the earth, so do some of these Superheros. But we want more follow up!!! Where's the Flash? What's Aquaman up to?

[ginnyfan]

This is a great thread!

A lot of the things mentioned I'd really like to see. Are there Smallville books that correspond to each episode? This thread makes me think they'd be worth reading...

Great posts Angelfire east!

I would love to hear the whole of Clark's conversation with Chloe. But I understand that there wasn't time for that. As for the things Clark didn't tell Chloe...Smallville was being destroyed by Meteors and Clark had to be there to help.

I figure that when Clark came back from the dead in Hidden he told Lana he couldn't remember what happened. What else could he possibly tell her? And Lana was probably softer on him than anyone else could be because she constantly lost time when Isobel was possessing her in season 4.

I would love to see more of characters reacting to other characters deaths... Jonathan, Jason, Alicia... But then again we are only seeing 22 days out of a 365 day year... Especially Lana reacting to Chloe's death... I guess turning into a witch woman works as a huge distraction. And I guess maybe Chloe not answering her email for a few weeks wasn't enough to make Lana worry... and she doesn't watch the news... I dunno.
And it would have been nice to have Pete at Jonathan's funeral... Actor's schedules and budget...

I would love to see more of the supporting character's parents... but I'm sure acting schedules and budget are more to blame than anything... It would especially be nice to see the parents when Lana and Chloe are in the hospital. Not so much Lana's deadbeat dad... but Nell and definitely Gabe Sullivan. I agree that even a few lines here and there would be good.

Also Yes! why did no one care that Lex got shot on Christmas Eve! But again...22 days out of 365... perhaps that next week was full of outpourings of Smallville citizen love onto Lex Luthor. :)

I hated Lana's reaction to Clark's proposal in Reckoning! I get that she was overwhelmed but... The acceptance scene almost made up for it but not quite.

I like these suggestions too! I hope to see some of #5 happening in Season 6! :)

[Atomic girl]

I would like to see the conversation that Clark had with Chloe to explain some of the bizarre things she saw before she knew about Clark's power.

Things Like:
It was Lionel that almost kissed her in Transference.

[Red-K]

Lana caring about someone else beside herself ^^

[jpfort1957]

Who X was
Explain if it was Chloe or Brainiac that killed Sebastian.
Who the voice from the orb is.
Show what Tess did with the PZ crystal.
Show Lois's reation to finding out that Jimmy died and why.
