I knew something was up when he wasn't yelling, I was beginning to wonder if the AI was hard of hearing. Hahaha, yeah totally! I paused the ep to say to supacat, 'look, he's not yelling!' but she didn't want to get excited too early. ;)
All along when Clark was screaming at Jor el in the past all I thought was "you should listen" Me too. We were in very small company.
understand that by Clark defying Jor-el he found his own way to where he ended up and made his path his destiny his own. True, I guess--I am just delighted that he ended up making a conscious, pre-considered decision to approach the Fortress differently. He didn't just rush there in an emotional frenzy. This is the true marker that he has grown up! And yes, like all kids, he feels unduly hard done by, but he's also manned up and set some boundaries with the Fortress. He's appealed to the AI to trust him and that means he has to repay that trust: WHICH HE DOES! I'm just so delighted.
Its been a wonderful season thus far (at least from this Clark fan's perspective) and I'm glad that if this is the last season, so far it looks to be going out in top form I'm loving it! I was a bit wary at the beginning because I couldn't quite work out how they were setting up the overall season--all these new characters, where was the focus? But now it's settled into its stride it's been terrific. If it keeps this up, I'll be very happy.
Clark is an absolute delight. I have never loved him more! Which is a weird place to be, the week fandom turns its knives on him, but hey, I am happy over here in my own viewing and since I'm not always happy, or on board with Clark, I am going to enjoy it, dammit!
