L&C Questionette

Last week we asked you: >>If there was one thing that Clark did on the show that just made you want to him with a Kryptonite linguini, what was it? Was it when Clark broke up with Lois? When he made some lame excuse at a very important moment? We know you all love Clark, but this is your chance to yell at him for that one time he wasn't always perfect. Go ahead, dig up the dirt!<<

Here are some of the responses we recieved! Thanks to everyone who responded:) My comments are in (parentheses). "Lucky Winners" get 35 superdollars! If you don't have an account, get one right away! The link is at the end of this newsletter:)

I felt like twaping Clark when he broke up with Lois right after her cuncussion!!! I mean, how is breaking up with her keeping her safe? The PUBLIC doesn't know they broke up, so they still think Superman loves Lois Lane. He is SO dumb, they had SO good!!! I really hated Clark then >;O(

(Ughhh, no kidding! I think Clark would blame that one on temporary insanity.)

(First of all, I would like to ask all of you not to be offended by my responce. Clark is an absolutely amazing guy, he's cute, sweet, can fly,:), but hey, nobody's perfect.) The one thing that kinda bugs (notice how I didn't use past tense, because the show is still on and going strong?) me about him is how ''Superman'' was always a little cocky. Whenever he was about to catch a villian, he almost always tilted his head and had this look on his face that said ''Oh, please. That little old gun isn't going to stop me . I understand that it probably wouldn't hurt him, except when he was shot with a kryptonite bullet, but still, he shouldn't so cocky all the time.

(I always think it's funny when he's Superman, how his voice suddenly gets deeper and all authoratative. I think that's why I like him better as Clark!)

Oooh, now how could I be mad at Clark? ...Actually, there was one time. Probably what every FoLC didn't like... the ending of "Contact." Here we are, Lois about to make everything all perfect by accepting his proposal... and he had to go and be over-protective and say it was too dangerous for her to be close to him. But that's what love is all about... risks! I cried and cried when I first saw the ending, threatening to punch Clark through the television set. I still cry when I see the ending! But you know what? Everything all worked out in the end, and now that I look back on it, it adds to the romantic tension that I oh-so-love about Lois & Clark.

(I, for one, can only handle watching the end of Contact because I know that Just Say Noah is only two episodes away! The kiss in JSN makes it all OK!)

Oh, I just haaaaaddd to respond to this one!!! This is so easy. I can forgive him for the lame excuses. I can forget all about the total and complete stupidity at even entertaining the thought that Lois would be safer if they broke up. I am not completely sure how much of the Dr. Deter experience I still hold against him, since he really should have known better, *but* The-All-Time-Number One I-Can't-Believe-Clark-is-Sooooo-Dense-Moment would have to be the Wanda Detroit Debacle. Do you remember a certain vehicle containing the aforementioned Love-of-His-Life and a certain dastardly villian, named Luthor? And do you remember the Man of Steel standing silently, helplessly and just watching that car drive away? This man could turn that thing into a paperclip if he felt like it, and what does he do? He lets Lex Luthor, a man who is obviously a Taco short of a combo, drive away with the only woman he has ever loved. Dweebiness to the Maximum Degree.

(The old "If you love someone, you gotta let them go" thing did NOT apply there! Note, no one ever says "If you love someone, you gotta let them go into the arms of a lunatic/murderer/arsonist/psychopath/former bald guy." No, that's nuts. And so was Clark, I'll admit it!!)
* * *
I'll never forgive Clark for the one time he had a HUGE screw up. He had already told Lois that he loved her to get Lex out of the picture. Even though that didn't work, Lex still got out of the picture... so to speak. Anyway, Lois realized she loved Clark, and he had the perfect opportunity to have her heart forever - but what does he do? Tells her that it wasn't true (of course he had his fingers crossed, but what can you expect from Superman...he's just an honest guy)- I'll never forget, I was sitting on my bed watching it and I got so mad that I fell off, jumped back up onto the bed, then started jumping around and yelling in disbelief. But I guess everyone makes mistakes... I was heart broken.

--SCarano590@aol.com

(I remember watching that, and shaking my head in disbelief. How could he? He lied to her! Fingers crossed, smoshed. I could not believe it!)

The stupidest thing Clark did was breaking up with Lois 'for her own good'. And she was just about to say 'Yes, I will marry you.', but, no, the stupid ABC writers felt like postponing it *just a bit* longer. Every time I see the end of 'Contact' I want to throw my shoe at the TV. Wait, in fact, this last Sunday morning, when it came on TNT, I did. On Tuesday I did too, when Lois slammed the door in Clark's face after their first date in 'Lucky Leon', but that's starting on the subject of stupid things Lois did, so I'll shut up now.

--bono4u2@wichita.infi.net

(LOL:) Yes, Lois isn't perfect, either. Whenever I see the end of Contact, and Clark flying out on poor Lois, lying in her bed with a nasty head wound and tears in her eyes, AUGHHHH I hate that. I usually fast-forward through it.)
* * *
I think Clark deserved a in Virtually Destroyed. Clark is a strong guy. He should have been able to at least temporarily knock out "X" so he could return to having *a super good time * with Lois in her virtual apartment. I think Lois wanted to him during that part, too

(Hehe, no kidding. Oh well, they have plenty of time for that later)

Haha this is a good question, um let's see I was the MOST mad when he ripped up the envelope from the Time Machine ep!!!!!!!! THAT WAS THE LAMEST!!! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT???????? What an idiot!! That was definitely the worst ending I've ever seen. OH and when he fell asleep in That Old Gang of Mine. That pissed me off so much!!! Like he's gonna fall asleep. GRRRR!

--Hoppe6@aol.com

(LOL! He's Superman and he can't stay awake for a conversation? But at least he's cute when he's sleeping)
* * *
The most "stupid" thing I think Clark ever did was not tell Lois that he was Superman. In my opinion, if he cared so much about her, he shouldn't have waited and waited until it was too late, or if she found out a way that she would never speak to him again. Their relationship was *so* strong...And I think Clark should have sat Lois down (like he was going to do in the beginning of "And the Answer Is..." but he should have planned it out more, not just thought of something quick to say like he was going to do in that episode) and had a long talk with her, and let her understand that who he was, was who he was...And he couldn't have done anything to change that. I think Lois was so upset in "We Have a Lot to Talk About" because Clark waited so long to tell her. Also, a *very* stupid thing that he did was propose to her *before* he even sat her down and talked with her about Superman and his identity. In my opinion, he should have had his parents, Martha and Jonathan sit down with Lois and him, because she is very comfortable around them, like they're her parents in a way. Lois maybe would have been upset for a little while, but not as much as she was in the real episodes of "Lois & Clark."

The one thing that Clark did that made me really want to get angry and start throwing things at his gorgeous head? That's easy, when he fell asleep at the end of "That Old Gang of Mine". Lois was all ready to pour her heart
out to him and here he goes snoozing (or at least pretending to, I've never quite figured that out). I know, I know, I've rationalized it, I understand that it wasn't time for her to reveal her feelings because she was strung out emotionally, but I can't help everytime at the end of that episode shouting at the T.V., "Wake up Clark, you'd want to hear this!"

--Mandyc@lcc.net

(I think he was pretending!)

By far, the most annoying thing Clark ever did was break up with Lois in the third season "for her own good" Hello?! People ALREADY associated her with superman. How was his breaking up with her really going to help? I remember sitting at the tv screaming at him how stupid he was for that.

(Good point. I never did quite understand all the logic behind that awful break-up, if there was any logic)
