Not that I want them to be together but when Lois was saying all those things about not being able to share a HERO with the world, and not being able to keep her mouth shut with the whole duel identity, made no sense to me. I thought she was supposed to end up with Clark Kent aka superman?? Smallville Lois Lane can't handle it?!

Thats the message I got from her words.

It's called Irony...it's employed in many dramas esp in foreshadowing and what not!

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

btw Lois sorta contradicted herself....when Clark/Chloe walked into Ollie's apartment she was trying to protect his identity by trying them to look the other way

It's not Irony, they crossed Lois off the list in this. When they outed Chloe being a brunette they outed Lois the Redherring. People wanted Proof of Chlois, well here it is.

ROFL! Yea u wish! Thinking it's Irony is wishful thinking. They wouldn't have Lois Lane herself crying out this issue to Clark Kent, if it doesn't mean anything.

At the very end though, they had some HEAVY HEAVY foreshadowing. What with Clark saying, "Maybe she'll get over the whole dual-identity thing someday" (*cough cough* with Superman), and then with the whole, "Why hang out with someone rich, hot, and famous when I can hang out with you?" comment by Lois.

Definitely hints at Clois being together. I think Lois has her issues now, but she'll get over them!

Maybe Lois just hasn't reached that level of maturity (not sure if it's the proper word for the scenario) yet. Like with Jimmy. At first he used to talk negatively on meteor freaks all the time and basically he thought that he could never be with a meteor freak, but when he found out about Chloe, he accepted it.

Just cause Clois is not together today, does not mean they will never be together.
Lois will try not to love superman because she knows she is doomed to 2nd place.
But she will fail.
Lois will love superman no matter what happens today.

Lois said she doesn't want to be left behind. Well, Supes can save the day and fly back to Lois and be home for dinner. Anyway, she's selfish and young yet. When she hits 30 and has grown up - she'll be ready to deal with duel identity. Also, she really doesn't mind Clark giving her the big hug.

As for Ollie, he looked interested in Canary at the end. If he was really broken hearted over Lois, I'm not so sure he would have let Diana Lance tell him what bad taste he has in Lois. The guy would have defended her - or should have.

Mary Sullivan
02-07-2008, 08:21 PM
Just ignore them...I swear I'm sick of their illogical nonsence....they are just desperate shipper fans who want Chloe and Clark married.

Please, we are discussing as adults here. You can disagree with us but the least i ask here is respect, because something i always did was respect Cloisers and Clanas.

As I said in other post, Ollie wanted to see Lois in the weekends, and Lois doesn't want that kind of relationship because she never had a "father" because he was saving the world and she was alone in her house taking care of Lucy. Clark won't see Lois in the weekends, she won't be at home wating for him. She will be right there sharing all her life with him, it's not the same situation at all.

It's the same with clana. If Clark wants to save the world he needs to let her behind, Lana herself says that she feels that she is holding Clark back. Lois won't do that in the future, she will be glad when Clark goes to save the world and she won't be waiting for him, she'll be with him all along.

I think it would be different if Ollie asks Lois to leave the town with him so they could fight to get justice together.

Besides, I think it was great that Lois told that to Clark, because in the future they will be in that same situation and he'll know that if he wants to be with Lois, she has to be an integral part of his life. She won't want to be at home making pie while he is saving the world.

Lois made a mature choice in "siren", she knew that her relationship with Ollie wouldn't work because they didn't want the same things, so she keeps the distance. Most of us are always claming that we want Clark doing right that in regards his relationship with Lana.

To end this post, I want to remind some people that Clark is afraid of heights and he is the future Superman anyway.

This is the tragedy of Lois and Clark. They can never really be together. At the end of Superman II when Lois knows about Clark's dual identity she understands what it really means to be in love with a hero.

"Why hang out with someone rich, hot, and famous when I can hang out with you?" was a great line. It was in someways ironic, Clark is going to be exactly like Oliver down the road. Clark is like Lois' best friend. She may always play down his assets but, it is all in good fun. Somewhere deep down there is a trust and understanding between them but it cloaked by friendly bickering and conflict.

This was one of my favourite scences in the series.

I seem to remember MK Lois and TH Lois having the exact same issue, as well as comic book Lois, who actually walked out on him when they were engaged and after a while and talking to Lana she came back to marry him so I dont see how this is a Chlois hint at all.

Besides, people´s expectations dont always come true, I never picture my self in a long relationship, nor that I could be with a workaholic (me being a party animal) now Im on my 10th month with my gfriend and Im happy as hell and she´s actually a very hard worker and yet things turned out just fine and on the irony, I seem to remember TH Lois saying something about never having an office romance, hmm, looks like that went down the drain :), I also seem to remember Clark saying he was afraid of heights and that he would never wear a suit and cape, does that mean that wont happen??

Don't you get it? Cloisers don't want full blow Clois. It's not going to happen on Smallville, we won't ever see it because Clark isn't Superman. This is the most we're probably ever gonna get. Hence all the foreshadowings.

TaraLittle
02-07-2008, 08:31 PM
I think that Lois feels what Lana was feeling about Clark, when Lana felt like she couldn't stand up to Clark's standards, but Lois wasn't being as dramatic about it. Lois thinks that if she is with someone with a duel identity, such as Ollie in this case, or our favorite farm boy in the future, that she'll never be able to stand at their standards. I think that she's also afraid that something will happen to them when their out fighting crime, because she doesn't want another brooken heart, because who does? And like Ollie said, he didn't believe Lois would blab her mouth about Ollie's duel identity, because would it really matter if she was dating him again or not? Of course not, but we all know Lois, and she's gonna protect his secret, just like how she tried to distract Clark and Chloe away from his Green Arrow gear. But yes it's foreshadowing to Clois a little bit. We all know that Lois and Clark end up together, so don't freak out Clois fans. And I loved the line when Lois said to Clark,"Why hang out with someone rich, hot, and famous when I can hang out with you?" Gotta love the Clois sceens!!! So maybe we'll see more Lois and Clark sceens, like in the next episode:):):)

AndiGirl
02-07-2008, 08:31 PM
I'm not sure if Lois can or cant handle sharing Clark with the world one day. I think she and Clark have a lot of growing up to do...that obvious. Clark is staying with Lana out of convenience....I mean, not that mature. But it's also like Lois said, she new they werent meant to be together...so why go through the heartbrake all over again. Maybe one day...Clark will be worth it?

But most cloisers don't want Clark and Lois in a relationship is Smallville, because the canon says that Lois falls in love with Clark first, and we don't trust in Al/Miles, they'll probably ruin our beloved mythos. All what we want it's Clark falling in love with Lois who doesn't realizes about that and sees Clark just as a friend. So, if Lois is not prepared to fall in love with Clark it has nothing to do with the 8th season, in fact, it's how we think it would be. :D

Yet most Chloisers continue to grasp at straws like the importance of haircolor, because let's face it that's the only thing you guys have going for you.

Actually most Chloisers don't care if their Lois is a blond. It's only those opposed to the theory who use that hair color as a point against Chloe because Lois is only suppose to be brunette.

Getting back to the topic, this Clois can never be because why would Clark even bother wanting to be with Lois knowing that she can never share him with the world just as he knows Lana can't here. Why go the same route again after surely the Clana is going to teach him otherwise.

Agreed, she outed her feelings TO CLARK meaning Clark will KNOW better then do anything with Lois because HE is the type of person SHE DOESN'T WANT. That last line she was talking about the simple farmboy she knew, thus why Clark didn't really smile at the end and looked away.

Not that I want them to be together but when Lois was saying all those things about not being able to share a HERO with the world, and not being able to keep her mouth shut with the whole duel identity, made no sense to me. I thought she was supposed to end up with Clark Kent aka superman?? Smallville Lois Lane can't handle it?!

Thats the message I got from her words.Here's the simple answer that I fail to see how you missed. It comes down to one thing. That one thing is called LOVE. Her love for Clark/Supes will overshadow the love she had with Oliver.

This love will make her eat crow when she gives her heart to the bumbling nerd in glasses sitting across from her in the work place. A bumbling nerd in glasses who just happens to have a dual identity.

True love makes a monkey out of you.

You are right and there´s little chance that Lois will be ready by next season how ever Id like to point out that its just as doubtfull that Clark actually goes out to save the world on a regular basis next season, so they´ll be just fine.;)
Yea just how Clark is not ready to be Supes yet....neither is she ready to be with a superhero yet

Actually Id like to point out that after rewatching that scene, I noticed something, Clark tells her that just cause someone has a great responsiblity doesnt mean she has to come in second and she doesnt belive him (not the same as not being able to handle it), so its actually forshadowing the fact that dispite his duties as Superman he wont put her in second place.

It's badly-written foreshadowing. Sort of like what they did at the end of Aqua. That last line when Lois says she rather hang out with Clark than going for the rich, powerful guy or whatever was some sort of foreshadowing that in the end, Lois can accept the hero, but her heart always belongs to the man behind the hero.

First of all, the line about not being able to Share a hero with the world is a classic line from every single incarnation of Lois and Clark. Just like every single woman in the world she wants to be loved too. Secondly even though she thinks that, that does not mean she can't end up with Clark later on down the road. Because for one she is young and like Clark does not know what the future holds. She is scared but in time she will be stronger than ever when Superman swoops in. Like the classic Lois she knows that a hero's destiny is far greater than her so she still wants them to continue what they do best. She doesn't want to keep any hero away from saving the world.

I didn't see the outing of Chloe's hair color, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

She made a line about the Black Canary being Dinah Lance wasn't so hard to believe, she could be as blonde as Chloe really is . . . which could be taken a Chlois way if they hadn't shown us little girl Chloe with blonde hair. It has also been said by MANY theory supporters that 'Lois'' hair color doesn't matter, can't change their tune to suit the episode. I'd like to see Erica with darker hair but the importance of her hair is below consideration.

Also, both Clark and Oliver knew that was BS when Lois said she couldn't handle sharing a hero with the world. They called her on it too. It's also classic Lois to have a fear of being abandoned. Well, MY Classic Lois anyway, we all have our favorites.

Probably a lot of people will assume I'm a blinded Lois fan, but really I totally see her words tonight as her own fears and her feelings that she isn't worth being somebody's number one.

never had a problem w/ Chloe's character (Chlark hook-up, would have been fun from S1-S3), but those fans who insist, just you wait and see, REALLY rub me the wrong way.

MKLois said pretty much the same thing.

It was an obvious reference to her.

And the whole line from Oliver about "yeah, when the world cracks open and time turns back" Well, in the first Superman movie wasn't there an earthquake followed by Superman reversing time?

I agree.

Here's the simple answer that I fail to see how you missed. It comes down to one thing. That one thing is called LOVE. Her love for Clark/Supes will overshadow the love she had with Oliver.

This love will make her eat crow when she gives her heart to the bumbling nerd in glasses sitting across from her in the work place. A bumbling nerd in glasses who just happens to have a dual identity.

Actions speak louder then words. While what Lois said may preclude a Clois relationship, if you assume that Lois will never manage to get past this issue and will be able to hold fast to it in the face of Superman, which is not a valid assumption if you ask me. Her actions spoke much louder embracing a Clois relationship. Once again Lois opens up and shows her venerable side to Clark. Whenever Lois needs to open up or break down it is always Clark we see her go to. You think that is an accident on the writers part? Her actions show that Clark and Lois are already establishing a base foundation for a relationship that will be so much stronger then what Lois built with Oliver, so much so that she will move past her fears of being second place.

I don't believe that Clark and Lois will be together because Lois has been hurt too many times to go through dating a guy with a secret identity like Green Arrow/Olliver.

She realized the BIG KISS, the one that rocked her socks was not Ollie, but one of his flunkies ... if they play this out ... and if there is an eighth season, they should use it with her trying to find out who that was .....

She's supposed to be an investigative reporter. She doesn't need men. She has their careers for breakfast. Let's move to the 21st Century, put her in network news TV. Her work puts her in danger with the worst of the worst. He (the real Superman) saves her while he's kicking butt and taking names. She's always in trouble because she's investigating crime and corruption. This Lois can do that (i.e. Erica) - this Clark Kent doesn't disappear when there's trouble. They work TOGETHER - she doesn't get left behind.

He stands on the roof, the American flag waving behind him. She looks up with adoring eyes, HER hero. He saves the world, then saves the girl. If he doesn't, and the earth opens up and swallows her, he turns back time. Greatest hero, greatest devotion to the woman he loves, protects, and fulfills his destiny and hers.

Thats the message I got from her words. Just goes to show that both SVClark and SVLois have a loong ways (emotionally, psychologically) to go before they become their destined future versions who would eventually fall in love and be a good match for each other.

Just like how SVGreenArrow and SVBlack Canary are so far removed from their future destined personas that you would get laughed out of Smallville if you suggest in the current SV timeline that these 2 would eventually marry.

The fun is in watching everyone try to evolve into their future versions...making mistakes along the way. It's all about the journey... (watching BDA Clark's journey, though makes you lose IQ points *sighs in frustration* :( )

If it was really meant to mean that she could never be with a superheroe, she would have had the scene with Chloe, but who did she have it with?

I totally agree, Triple L. When Lois listed all the reasons to end it with Ollie, he shot down every one of them.

And when she told Clark she couldn't handle it, he totally implied that it might true of some people, but he could see her being able to handle it. (Plus, he says that she becomes more interested when it gets more challenging. I loved that.)

One of the biggest things I got from that whole speech she gave to Clark was that Lois is mature. She looked at the situation with Ollie and saw that the end would not be pretty. And she decided that it wasn't worth being happy short-term, if - in the long term - she was destined for heart break.

Why? Because Ollie, as awesome as he is, wasn't right for her. Because he wasn't placing Lois high on list of priorities. She didn't get the sense from him that - even though he went out to the save world - she would still have a piece of his heart that only belonged to her.

In the future, Clark Kent will give her a part of his heart that is hers alone & she's been assured of her place in his life. And, on her part, she'll give him a sense of belonging and a feeling of home. Even when he's not with her, he'll be with her in spirit.

I'm not making a big deal about hair color, I'm saying it ISN'T a big deal. For what it's worth though, Chloe was seen as a child with BLONDE hair, just as infant Lois in the picture on her daddy's desk also had BLONDE hair. Both of them were born blonde. And if later they became brunette's naturally, which CAN happen, then that would be possible for both of them since Lois' has very visible brunette roots under all that golden wheat.

So obviously Lois Lane being a brunette is a non issue on this show, no matter what side of the theory fence you are on.

Thank you. :) I'm not always right, but I'm VERY right about this.

They both knew she was playing emotional dodge ball, and even Lois knows that was BS, even as she sadly convinces herself that she isn't important enough to NOT get left behind.

I liked that line from Clark too. He isn't so oblivious as I think Lois might prefer him to be. :p

I don't think it was just irony. It was a nice moment shared between two friends that care about eachother, and also as a way to give us some insight into Lois' flaws and insecurities.

Again, I have to agree.

We're always complaining - Lois fans and non-Lois fans alike - that Lois doesn't get enough screentime where we get to dwelve into her psyche. We're annoyed that we don't get enough moments of genuine emotion from her where we learn what makes her tick and the kind of insecurities & hidden emotions she has. (Also because, as a character, she likes to hide behind an armour sarcasm.)

In this episode, we saw how her past with the General has shaped how she views men. She's attracted to powerful men, who have "hero" complexes and want to save the world. However, at the same time, she can't help but feel that she's not good enough to be with men like that & just like her father, they'll always put her at the bottom of the priority list. Note that she doesn't think anything is wrong with that - in fact, she expects them and encourages them to think that saving the world is more important.

With Ollie, she gives him up so he can go save the world - but doesn't want to be dragged around like a stray piece of luggage along the way. She has enough sense of self-worth and dignity to want that for herself. She has enough self-preservation that she doesn't want to put herself through that kind of heartbreak again.

This scene showed us a glimpse of Lois we haven't seen since "Lucy" in a lot of ways. It's interesting to me because I've read a lot Lois/Clois fan-fiction that has a scenes like this, but it's always been based more on what we know of Lois from the mythos. So, it felt good to finally have Lois's back-story & Daddy issues validated onscreen for our SVLois.

Again, I have to agree.

We're always complaining - Lois fans and non-Lois fans alike - that Lois doesn't get enough screentime where we get to dwelve into her psyche. We're annoyed that we don't get enough moments of genuine emotion from her where we learn what makes her tick and the kind of insecurities & hidden emotions she has. (Also because, as a character, she likes to hide behind an armour sarcasm.)

In this episode, we saw how her past with the General has shaped how she views men. She's attracted to powerful men, who have "hero" complexes and want to save the world. However, at the same time, she can't help but feel that she's not good enough to be with men like that & just like her father, they'll always put her at the bottom of the priority list. Note that she doesn't think anything is wrong with that - in fact, she expects them and encourages them to think that saving the world is more important.

With Ollie, she gives him up so he can go save the world - but doesn't want to be dragged around like a stray piece of luggage along the way. She has enough sense of self-worth and dignity to want that for herself. She has enough self-preservation that she doesn't want to put herself through that kind of heartbreak again.

ITA, and I myself definitely see the scene being so much MORE than just irony. This is a genuine insight into Lois' character, as her own person right here and right now, and I truly appreciate that.

It showed that Lois was not gooing to let herself get in the way didn't it?

Yes, she has a very 'self sacrificing' attitude. We saw the same thing in "Lucy"
Telling their kidnapper to let her sister go and take her instead, since it was Lucy and not her that had the future.

Note that she doesn't think anything is wrong with that - in fact, she expects them and encourages them to think that saving the world is more important.

This was, mho, one of the best parts of the scene. She understands what a relationship with somebody like that would mean. That a personal relationship can't supersede the world.

Clark is the one with blinders on, while she's looking at the situation clearly. And at this point in her life, she made the right & thoughtful decision (albeit the viewer knows she's not destined to be with Ollie, any more than Clark is with Lana).

I thought this also underscored how young Lois is right now, she hasn't made her own mark in the world. She sees Ollie is destined for something great, but doesn't realize her own value. As she grows in to her self, makes her mark on the world, she'll understand she has a role to play. That her solo destiny, not tied to Superman, not tied to the Justice League, is very important. She is a champion of justice, just in a different way.

So when she ends up with Clark, she'll have the self-confidence to understand she's contributing, making the world better. She'll make the personal sacrifices to live with somebody she loves not only because of who the man is, but because she'll be secure in her self-worth.

Meanwhile Clark will understand he can't stay home with Lois and live a normal live, moonlighting as a hero. He'll go places where she can't go, see things she can't see and share experiences with other people (Diana, Bruce,Ollie, Black Canary, etc) that she may not ever fully understand.

But at the end of the day both of them realize the sacrifices are worth it because of their conviction that they are stronger together than apart.

(off topic: the Up&Up and Away Trade by Busiek/Johns did a good job exploring a very similar issue. Clark lost his powers for a year. He's living the life of reporter/husband and he's happy. It's a thoughtful story of how his powers return and the impact on his marriage & work life).

I'm not making a big deal about hair color, I'm saying it ISN'T a big deal. For what it's worth though, Chloe was seen as a child with BLONDE hair, just as infant Lois in the picture on her daddy's desk also had BLONDE hair. Both of them were born blonde. And if later they became brunette's naturally, which CAN happen, then that would be possible for both of them since Lois' has very visible brunette roots under all that golden wheat.

So obviously Lois Lane being a brunette is a non issue on this show, no matter what side of the theory fence you are on.

Thank you. :) I'm not always right, but I'm VERY right about this.

They both knew she was playing emotional dodge ball, and even Lois knows that was BS, even as she sadly convinces herself that she isn't important enough to NOT get left behind.

I liked that line from Clark too. He isn't so oblivious as I think Lois might prefer him to be. :p

I don't think it was just irony. It was a nice moment shared between two friends that care about eachother, and also as a way to give us some insight into Lois' flaws and insecurities.

I agree with that - I guess I mispoke when I said irony was the "whole point". More than that it shows their development as friends. I really enjoyed that part!

It has also been said by MANY theory supporters that 'Lois'' hair color doesn't matter, can't change their tune to suit the episode.

One would think so, but they have, many many times.
