Clarks Wierd Moment In The Hospital after finding out chloe was dead!!!

[JTKB44]

when clark came out of the hospital room after hearing the news that chloe was dead he was acting all weird and was surrounded by something blurry like he was gonna do something and then he heard chloe what was that all about??? what you people think??? share your thoughts

[elway]

It reminded me of Superman returns. Then he happened to hear Chloe

[supergirl945]

it was like really powerful super-hearing

[Minela]

I think he was about to crack. Too much death was around him, I think he was about to loose it and so he heared all the sounds around him all at once. Than when he heared Chloe he was pulled back into reality.

[MidgardDragon]

It was just a new effect for his super-hearing. He was hearing all the sounds at once via-superhearing then he focused in and heard Chloe. He also was sort of staggering because he thought Chloe was dead there for a sec. I think he didn't intentionally listen for Chloe's voice, as he had no way to know she'd be screaming, but his superhearing just kicked in and he realized he heard something under the noise that shouldn't be there.

[~Chloe&Clark~]

I think he was listening for her... he can always hear her, and if you pay attention the whole mess of sounds gets louder until he can hear her voice. He is like hoping he will hear her in the chaos, and then he does!

[CrazyforKal]

It felt to me like he was caught up in emotion and in that moment took in all the sounds of the hospital. His hearing then picked up Chloe and he honed in.

[Sub Snake]

Umm maybe its a comic thing? I just thought he was in tune with his enviroment or was searching for something, anythign really. When he heard Chloe. Its defitely Super Hearing tho. Unless NEW POWER, EMPATHY! lol jk

It doesn't make much sense for him to be listening for her. I'd say his superhearing is probably always on in a certain sense, and he heard the screaming under all the noise just barely, then he focused in and heard it for real.

Then wouldn't he have listened for Lana?

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Its like he subconsciously heard her and picked up on it.

Hard to hear her, beyond that bad wig.

I agree. I don't think he was listening for her, since he thought she was dead.

His super hearing is like normal hearing. Say a normal person was outside the door of the morgue - they would have been able to hear Chloe screaming, just like Clark could from upstairs. Then when they focused, they could hear her voice better and tell where it's coming from, just like Clark.

[AndiGirl]

I think he was focusing his hearing...and trying to hear her. I think it makes sense that he would do that. So many times Chloe has been "dead" so...he had to know for sure. The he hears her screaming...and obviously not dead.

[superspider02]

Yea i agree he was full of emotion and was going to crack since lana was dead and now chloe too and he didnt want ot believe she was dead. Also i guess to it was a new effect look for superhearing which i thought was pretty good, i hated the original effect, and then the second effect look was pretty good. this new one was neat too.

[Khyla]

it looked like he was losing it. At first it looked like he was gonna cry, then he went into some kinda super-speed spin, or things were super-speeding around him.... like he was dizzy or something.... like it was all just too much for him to handle, and while everything was blurring around him, he heard her voice.

True but what about last seasons finale? He didnt use it then to listen for her. I think he was at the breaking point when Chloes voice saved him.

[krpto]

I got the impression that he was lisening for lois so he could find her and be with her she wouldn't be alone when she found out about chloe then he heard chloe screaming instead of lois who he was trying to find.

[Sex Luthor]

his reactions were weird before sounds came into his ears, almost like he was consipated or something...lol

[Dannyblue1]

Actually, I think Clark was about to lose it, and was losing control of his powers in the process.

I think Clark has to be in control of himself all the time, or else he'd rip off every door he tried to open, for example. And he also keeps his super hearing under control, otherwise he'd be driven insane from hearing screams/traffic/talking 24 hours a day.

In that scene, it really looked like he lost those controls he usually has. Sort of the way some people lose control of their bodies and just collapse when they hear they've lost a loved one.

I don't think he was specifically listening for Chloe. His control over himself, and his super hearing, "collapsed," (for lack of a better word) and all the sounds he can usually tune out came rushing in. Luckily, Chloe just so happened to be yelling at the same time, and he heard her.

I think you're right. It doesn't make sense that he would be listening for her if he was told she was dead. I think his mind was on overload and somehow his hearing kicked in. All the voices, sirens, and screaming added to the madness of his mind, and I think he was about to crack until he heard Chloe. I think his comments at the end regarding hate and anger related to that scene.

[isagill chlark fan]

i need to help please someone could relate me the escene when clark rescue chloe please i don´t live in the united states

[warriorrenegade]

I believed that scene to be depicting his emotional state at the time as being in chaos. Dude was on the verge of loosing it. Until Chloe pulled him back.

[MidgardDragon]

Sure, isagill_chlark_fan, always glad to help out someone who likes the show and isn't complaining all the time, here's what happened:

Clark goes to the hospital and is approached by a nurse who's looking for Lois. He asks what happened and she tells him that she can't tell him anything until she finds Lois (they have to tell the next of kin). He rushes into the operating room and some guy is in there, Chloe's nowhere to be found. He's told he can't be in there, and finds out that Chloe is dead.

He goes out into the hallway, and the camera swirls around him while things are all blurry. His super hearing kicks in and he's hearing everything around him at an enhanced level. Slowly he starts to hear Chloe screaming for help (near the start of the scene she's shown down there screaming for help, because she's locked in one of those drawers they put dead people in). Clark goes to the morgue and pulls her out, where she freaks out about the fact that she was dead, sees a death certificate for Lana, etc. etc.

[boywithbluehanger]

It's kind of like when you're in a room full of talking people and it all sounds like "blah blah blah" but if someone says your name, you can immediately pick up on it. Imagine how we all (most of us) are like that but for Clark he could probably weed out someone calling his name in a stadium full of people. Thats why he hears people calling for him as Superman I suppose...its like always being in a room full of talking people when he subconsciously uses his super hearing.

[bluecheeze]

I think Clark is just developing his powers and making them "super powers"??

Kind of like how he evaporated all that water with his heat vision, this hearing although it was probably led from the loss of Chloe was the development from his hearing power to super hearing power...

make sense..that just makes more sense to me

[chlark=destiny]

I think learning of Chloe's death was too much for him to handle...I mean, he probably had a mix of emotions: sadness, shock, guilt, etc....He might have felt guilty for not being Chloe's "personal bomb squad" like he had pledged to her in "Freak".

You could obviously tell that his comment in "Labyrinth" - "You mean a lot more to me than you know," was brought to fruition:)...I just wished that when he discovered that she was alive and well that he would have shown Chloe that same amount of tender emotion.

[isagill chlark fan]

thanks for you help midgardragon . i can,t wait to watch it in youtube you are amazing

Well said

[alienkinfolk]

Clark seemed to be having a human like moment(nervous break down about to happen) but he pulled out of it like a champ-only an alien can do that!

[SpiritedDiva]

I thought the camera work and special effects of that scene were awesome. It really conveyed Clark's emotional state well. He had lost his childhood love as well as his closest friend all in one day.

I think he was under so much emotional stress he was having a break down. And as a previous poster put it, Choe's voice is what pulled him out. Really intense stuff.

[Ilovebeinglost]

Remember when he first got his super hearing he had to learn to control it.
I was thinking he was so traumatized that he was ready to let loose and he picked up all the sounds at once and then snapped out of it when he heard Chloe's voice

[Superbeard]

It was just his superhearing, hearing everything around him at once, and it all being overwhelming.

[Tomsgurl88]

OMG i thought of Superman Returns right away, LOVED it:)

Well, is he also tuned in with the boy who was fishing and water?? Cause he also heard that.

Although I can add that since some of his abilities have been increasing maybe his real Superhearing is starting to kick in, I mean in the comics he can hear anything from anywhere in the world, he can even hear blood streaming throught the veins of people, I know it sounds creepy but the point is, so far in Smallville we havent even nearly seen the full potencial of his Superhearing.

Can I say plot device, what was the easiest way for him to find out he had to get her out of the morgue?

[MidgardDragon]

Well, plot device or no, there were logical reasons for his hearing to work that way, so it's not really strictly a plot device.

I liked how later... I don't remember who he was talking to, probably Martian Manhunter. Clark gruffly talks about how all his friends are going to die. Wow...

Great episode.

name one

[heavens_cry]

She means the world to him, if only he would take the time to let it compute in that head of his...

Hello clark anything up there???

[papercrow27]

i like everyone's theory of him just losing control of his hearing because of his emotion, but when I saw it, the first thing i thought was "my god...he's accepting that he's alone."

meaning, I figured that chloe was his anchor. If you'd seen labrynth, you know that he gives up after chloe dies, and accepts his fate as a crazy person, though untrue. With chloe dead, he accepts his fate as being alone; the sole survivor of krypton. In that respect, his powers become ultra enhanced, ready to accept his role minus the personal connections he's made as the world's savior.

but looking back, I'm going to have to go with just losing control of his powers because he was fraught with losing both his first love and his best friend in the same day. I don't care who you are, man or superman, that will bring anyone to their knees

[President_Luthor]

His world was crumbling around him, and with Martha in Washington, JK dead and even Lionel missing, Chloe was the only anchor -- and she was gone. He'd be numb and terrified at being truly alone.

[scififan]

He was having an emotional breakdown. His world was spinning out of control, everything going blurry...all his senses heighten up and all the sounds around him amplified due to his heightened state and was able to hear Chloe...because in his state he just wanted to grasp something of Chloe and got her voice.

[ms.c.]

It looked like he was breaking down. Everything around him was out of control and he was lost. He couldn't anchor himself until he heard her voice. The effect captured that feeling of the world moving too fast.

I agree! He probably hears a background like that always. But, since he was so devastated he lost control and started getting overwhelmed. Thank goodness because he might have never thought he heard Chloe if he was in control. Do you know what I mean??

THIS, and Khyla's remarks, make the most sense to me. I agree with you both. Clark was emotionally going to blow. That scene was to show us how he was feeling--losing it. It's the only way they could do that without a voiceover of his thoughts, or him saying something to someone to verbally describe his state of mind and feelings.
:cool:

[Lostfan588]

I think Clark completly lost it after he heard Chloe had died. His powers were going all whacky on him and I dont think he was intentionally listening for for either. He never does. Chloe's voice is the one voice he can hear without actually having to listen for it. Anyway, I liked his reaction. It reminded me alot about how he completly lost it in Labyrinth without Chloe.

[Krypton935]

^^I agree I think he just lost it and didn't know what to do. Aww maybe the Chlark isn't over! yay

[operadiva]

I think that when he heard that Chloe was dead he was having an emotional breakdown...And his super hearing kicked in and he heard her screaming for help in the morgue....He certainly did not do that when Lana died...He did not even cry..I think Clark cry..No super hearing kicked in at all....I think that Clark thinks of her much more than he is will to reveal right now....

I meant that when lana died he did not even cry...

Maybe Clark is afraid to reveal that he has deeper feelings for Chole than he wants to give into right now..only time will tell

Come on i remember in an epi..he used his super hearing and herd Chloe walking down the hallway...You mean to tell me he can't hear Lana in China...

Oops..

I agree - I thought that he was in shock for all his ladies keeling over and then he heard Chloe faintly and focused in on it - brought him back....... we would have seen a CK breakdown - I'm surprised he didn't attack Chloe with a super powered hug ;)

[foreversmallville]

I don't think he was actually trying to lidten to Chloe...he just heard her over all the other noise...probably was his emotions.

It's like how everyone on this site doesn't think Clark has emotions...but there are other mannerisms of his that proves he does. Instead of crying every time something upsets him...other things happen to him.

As for why didn't he hear Lana... I still say that Clark knows that Lana is not really dead!!!

[GaidinDre]

I thought he was listening for her. I think he couldn't believe she was gone and was listening, just hoping he'd hear her. I don't think he lost control because none of his other powers were activated, had he burned something or crushed something I'd agree it was a loss of control. Since only the hearing was used I think it was deliberate.

[operadiva]

foreversmallville... if Clark wanted too he would have used his super hearing..but he did not...Don't assume..Clark didn't...Hence he did not use his powers to find her...He thinks she is dead as a door knob...He didn't even try...nor did he contemplate trying...

I guess he cares more for Chloe..opps

That's exactly that Khyla. I must add... if you listen very carefully, above the other noice, you can heard Chloe saying 'Clark help, somebody help'. When Clark heard his name, he focused on it and reconized Chloe voice...

Yeah that relly didit for me. It's something that I wasn't sure if he was ever going to get. He couldn't save them all of the time and eventually everyone does die. He seemed to not get this before. I'm glad he finally did. That was agreat episode. So much growth on Clarks part.

I agree, he didn't look like he set out to listen for Chloe, he just happened to stumble upon her right before his break down.

In the Up up and away saga, he was readjusting to his powers and his heat vision never kicked in, but his memory and superhearing did.

And he had no reason to doubt the medics, he saw her state, he saw the look in the doctors face, in fact he wasnt told originally she was dead (the doc need to speak to Lois first) he guessed it, so I dont see why would he, like I said, plot device.

I'm not an avid comic reader so I'll have to take your word on what powers he has to actively control, but I do think he had a reason to doubt the doctors. He knows Chloe was meteor infected and that somehow Lois was healed leaving Chloe in bad shape. Considering those circumstances I don't think he would've considered the medical staff to be the ultimate authority on the situation.

This scene very much reminded me of the scene in Superman III when Superman (influenced by artifical kryptonite) started hearing all those noises and screams and covered his ears and started yelling. I wouldn't be surprised if Clark was about to do the same had he not heard Chloe's voice.

[the Dagman]

Actually, I think this was another manifestation of his powers that takes him a step closer to being Superman.

Yes, he did seem to be losing control over his hearing. Either that, or he was looking for someone to help in the chaos to take his mind off his loses. It was like he took off all the filters he usually uses and let all the sounds wash over him until he heard the cry for "Help!" Very much like in Superman Returns. Or even the old Lois & Clark show when bad guys made sure to gag Teri Hatcher so she couldn't scream out her trademark "Help! Superman!"

I think this was his first real time of using that skill of listening for help.

I have to agree with you as we all know his emotions are what happens to him and it is what cause each new power. And yes his sense where enhanced when this was happening to him. And to me it looked like he almost stepped over the line. I feel that he did almost lost it. My tow cents worth!@!

Thanks,

Jack

[Dor el]

Maybe he was so distracted by Chloe's death that he momentarily lost his ability to control or to filter out all the adventitious sounds with his superhearing. He has to make a conscious effort not to hear stuff otherwise he would eventually suffer sensory overload.

[Sweetie]

I think it was to picture his emotions.It was too unreal for him that his friend who always been there for him was actually dead.He was inside of a bubble,like nothing exited suddenly.Until,he heard her calling in the morgue.

[Bigx07]

All of you have great points. And I say he lost it. He couldnt take loosing Lana and then Chloe. That would make me or anyone else lose it.

[pharaoh8]

i'd figure you would be on this thread big =)

[MrZeppo]

I think it was an emotional response and not a new FX. Like someone said earlier, there was no effect when Clark heard the kid, but in this scene the camera was spinning around him and he looked dazed. I don't think it was an emotional breakdown as much as Clark letting go a little bit of that self restraint he always has. That's his biggest curse, he always has to hold back physically, so he does the same emotionally.

It was only when Clark first met Raya did he really start letting go, and you can see he's more real about the duality of being Clark and Kal-El when he talks to the Martian Manhunter. I'm sure as Kara and he bond (I really hope they do.) he lets loose again.

[Angelina2809]

Yes, I also thought he started to cry but than this super pin - around from him! I also think that he started to freak out because all the people he loved started to die! It was too much. Clark have all these power's and he wasen't able to protect Lana and Chloe (and also Jonathan).

[Dor el]

Yeah, like the vision he saw with the old lady in Ageless (I think) where he was in a cemetery surrounded by the tombstones marking the graves of everyone he cared about yet he was still a young man. At this moment, that vision was well on its way to fruition. I liked the effect. Appeared to symbolize that our man of steel's life was spinning out of control, and no matter how powerful he is, there is nothing he can do to change fate.

[Bigx07]

[operadiva]

Oh well Clana fans....It is what it is..he had a break down when he heard that Chloe had died..Nope no meltdown when he heard Lana had died..not even a tear..The writers never fail to keep one guessing...Is Clark suppressing his true feelings for Chloe?
Who knows...
Well Clana will get satisfaction soon when Lana Luthor return and starts Fornicating with Clark under Pa kent's roof and bed..I am sure Clana fans will be happy..Yes..Here is a future Superman to be proud of....

I thought so too. He was mentally searching for her. He knew she was Krypto-powered and it hadn't showed yet, he knew her vitals weren't normal. He suspected Lois was healed by Chloe. He wasn't out of control, but searching in a panic mode.
