omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe Lois will finally find out who the Blur really is! eeeeeeeeeeek!
Aww, poor LoLo. It’s time for Clark to reveal himself. Seriously Smallville…dragging it out any longer is just cruel for both of them. There better be a reveal in the finale. Lois has known Clark for 6 years at this point. The timeline on Smallville is different. Everything has been pushed back. It’s time that she knows.
I agree that a reveal is appropriate at this point. It really makes no sense to keep the truth from Lois any longer. She has proven that she would die for him and she is not any safer being kept in the dark. Have the courage to be bold Smallville. Bring on the reveal. Great picture!
While I agree he should tell her, it’s fully in his character to be afraid of putting her in danger by letting her know, no matter how much danger she’s in already (everyone else who found out had their lives turned upside down). And then there’s the fact that he’s essentially making a huge decision for her–if she knows, she has to constantly watch her tongue and how she acts/reacts to both Clark and the Blur to keep his secret for the rest of her life, which is another burden he doesn’t want to put on her.
Plus, Lois doesn’t want to know right now.
So, as much as I want the secret out, there are valid reasons for him to be keeping it at this point.
I see what you are saying Brian. But don’t you think that if Lois knew that it was actually CLARK who was the Blur…she would change her mind on wanting to know? Yes, she said she didn’t want to know. But I don’t think she would feel that way if she knew that it was the man she loved. I think that’s the trump card that changes everything. Clark has a crucial piece of information right now that changes everything for Lois. I think it’s time that she knows the truth so she can make an informed decision with all the information at her disposal.
But Lois really has no decision to make. She’d be in Clark’s corner once she knew, so the second he tells her, he burdens her with having to keep his secret (and she’d be in about the same amount of danger-Lord’s interrogation was hurting her specifically because she was protecting his secret).
Thing is (and this is brilliant on the writer’s parts), Lois loves both Clark and the Blur, and they’ve set up a situation where neither Lois nor Clark is fulfilled with only “half a person” (Lois needs the higher calling of saving people just like Clark does). So just the Clois relationship isn’t enough for either of them, just like the superheroics half isn’t enough for either of them. I think it’s THAT point that will eventually make Clark take a leap of faith that Lois will be all right if he tells her, because the Clois won’t survive for much longer if neither of them are enough for each other. It’s going to come to a point where it’s all or nothing for them, and I hope he tells her then.
But until then, it’s going to be his (both rational and irrational) fear of losing her because she knows that will keep him from telling the secret.
You make some great points Brian. I agree that right now neither of them are fulfilled with only “half” of each other. So we’ll see how it all plays out. Thanks for your insights.
And thanks for yours!
On a purely shallow note….how gorgeous are they? God. She’s stunning and he’s like walking sex.
Agreed.
Hell yes! I second that notion
Completely my first thought as well. How can you see them and not go, “Man, they’re beautiful!”
Wendy! I am going to comment on your totally shallow comment. “He’s like walking sex”?! I’ve have tried about a zillion different ways of finding out how to describe just how sexy Tom is. And you just nailed it! That was perfect! I take my hat off, to you. On a less shallow note, if they totally bail on this Blur releveal like they have on countless other things I am going to be SO P***ED! They can make a GREAT show with Lois knowing Clark’s secret!
They are Super Hot! Perfect Clois IMO
Totally agree about him being “walking sex”..
watching tom welling is like having an orgasm.. **Sighhh**
walking sex? is that supposed to be like when he walks there’s all this sex atmosphere all around? like he insipres sex or something?
Have to agree with everyone:
Clois is superhot!
Agreed. They’re like one hot super couple on tv now..! And I guess it’s appropriate time for Clark to reveal himself to Lois. There would be more interesting story the writer can come up with that.
Both Lois and Cloe should start to show some long term affects for always being knocked out or unconcious! Every episode, one of those chicks is out for an extended period of time!
This is Smallville, after all.
I don’t wanna spoil anything but I’m afraid Lois won’t find out beacuse –> SPOILER!! (Torn between Clark and the Blur, Lois asks Clark to come clear abt everything, but he refuses.)
Source: Official description of Salvation from KryptonSite.com
He can refuse all he wants, but that won’t help him if she pulls a Jimmy Olsen and sees him using his powers.
I agree that it’s time for the big reveal. They obviously are being lenient with a lot of the Superman mythos up to this point, especially with who finds out about his secret (i.e. Lana and “Jimmy”), so why not? I have a feeling this will all be undone in the series finale anyway. They can’t have all these people knowing he’s a superhero, so I think they’ll bring Jor-El back somehow and he’ll erase everyone’s memories. It’s not like this hasn’t happened in the comics either *COUGH Spider-Man One More Day COUGH*…
OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
OMG. OMG. OMG.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Clois fails..Yet again
If this is something to do with a reveal, I might die!
Lois is unconscious again. Lois, wake the hell up! You don’t want to sleep through this!
P.S. Why is Tom Welling the hottest piece of ass alive?
Is she dead? or unconscious? And wow clark is really rocking the hot black coat.
Judging by the flowers on the street, it looks like she just got thrown by a Kandorian and Clark caught her.
Love how those tulips bring a splash of color in the background.
(Wasn’t there a flower stall in the background in the Upgrade scene between LL & JC?)
DANG, like I wasn’t hyped for this finale already! Too bad I’m going to miss it, being out of country sans-internet. *weeps*
That’s too bad!
But just think of what awaits you when you do get back!
Eh, first the Zod shot showing the throw down is blueK-ed and this? Where’s the action? I’m shocked we’ve not seen anything about JSA/JLA.
How is this not action?
This stuff’s way more exciting than the JSA/JLA standing around.
@Carrie – Mortal Clark is nice with his fists.
I don’t mind the Blue-K fight, providing both Zod and Clark are affected. It will put them on an equal footing and makes it a different scenario to the previous Bizarro and Lex (as Zod) fights.
Clark and Zod need to go hard at each other. Hopefully, we will get a well choreographed, extended fight for the finale.
Hopefully, Smallville fans don’t expect too much…
I mean anything has to be better than what they got from Doomsday, right?
“Clark and Zod need to go hard at each other. ”
Isn’t that already the topic of a lot of Fan Fiction out there?
LOL – The thought had crossed my mind, especially after the K-site fight pics were released.
OMG. Please let it a reveal! Please…
OMFG! Lois, WAKE UP! Please, Lois deserves to know! Awesome!
Lois is just passed out.
As usual. LOL!
See it does pay to subscribed to the magazine. I’ll checking my mailbox everyday!!! Thanks for the alert.
Maybe he saved her and had no way of hiding himself and she faints.
REVEAL REVEAL REVEAL
Wow! This is a great shot! I can’t wait to see the story behind it!
Maybe Clark just saved Lois from Zod/Checkmate?
Yes, great shot. Beautiful couple!
WHOA… looks interesting!
ohhh… the reveal is coming… I can feel it!! PS.. Lois looks so pretty and Clark so superman-ish!! hot!
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!! MY LOIS!!!!!!!!!
I NEED TO SEE SALVATION NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE
I second that “SQUEEEEEEEEE”!! ;O)
