Continuing on with More Fun Smallville stuff
For the last round of Favorite Clark Scenes With.... I could only come up with 3 more characters. I almost added in Zod, but then I would've felt like I needed to add Davis too, and well, I just decided to leave them both off.
So, this round goes to Kara, Oliver Queen, and Tess Mercer.
ETA: Thanks to Wingster, who suggested we add Jimmy to this round. So, that makes 4!!
What is your favorite Clark scene with those 3 characters. I already have mine picked out, but I need to get to work on my visual aids. :)
I choose for them the last scene from Bloodline. And considering what they did with Kara in S10, I really wish this had been Clark and Kara's last scene together, because it was really perfect. The 2 were warm and loving with each other. And Kara's reasons for leaving made sense. I liked that she showed Clark her necklace with the family crest as a way of expressing how he was in her heart. I wish this was the way I could remember the relationship between these 2 characters.
As anyone that reads my journal already knows, I'm not a big fan of Oliver Queen. And I don't like how the "friendship" between Clark and Oliver has been written. I could probably count on one hand the number of scenes between the two that I really liked. I was really, really tempted to use their scene in the Finale ep, where Clark is able to help Oliver defeat the darkness and overcome it. Especially since I was totally not expecting that. But, instead, I choose a scene from Kandor. There are a few reasons I choose this scene. The biggest being that Oliver is trying to be a real, supportive friend here, and frankly, I think those moments are rare. No snarkiness, no sniping. He knows Clark is struggling with what just happened, and he's trying to be there to tell him that he's OK. And the other reason I choose this scene was because I like how Clark was with Oliver. This episode comes right on the heels of Oliver attempting to get back together with Lois, knowing full well that Lois and Clark have feelings for each other. Clark is, understandably, a little testy with Oliver. And even in this scene, the way Tom played it hinted at a bit of skepticism at Oliver's support. I've always chosen to see that line from Oliver about having Clark's back as purposely ironic.
Oh, there are any number of Clark and Tess scenes I could have chosen. The fact is that I very much enjoy Tom and Cassidy when they work together. And while their scenes together might not be numerous, a great many of them work for me. But, in the end, I think I choose the scene that is very hard to deny as the best Cless scene there is. The scene at the end of Luthor when Clark comes to see Tess in the mansion. From the beginning of S10, we had seen Clark and Tess be friendly. But this is the scene where I thought we really saw the level of friendship that had developed between them. Its quite an intimate scene. Under different circumstances, it could've even been considered romantic. But, we know it wasn't. It was Clark being a really, really good, supportive friend to Tess, even though he honestly had a few good reasons to be angry with her. Instead, he decided to try and understand why she did what she did, and where she was coming from, and he offered her a level of emotional support I'm not sure Tess had ever had from anyone else.
There are a few good Clark and Jimmy scenes. I almost went with the scene in Identity when Jimmy shows up at the farm, and figures out that Clark = The Red Blue Blur, because thats actually a really good scene for Jimmy. He might just be the only person that figured Clark's secret out all on his own, without a visual aid. And I do like their last scene in Doomsday very much, because Jimmy was so pleased that Clark was telling him the truth, and letting him into the secret keeping club. Its a shame he didn't get to be part of it longer. But, in my heart of hearts, I knew what scene I really wanted to use. And thats because its a scene that never fails to make me laugh. And Aaron and Tom are so wonderful in it. And it also introduced me to a new gesture I previously knew nothing about that. So, my choice is from Subterranean, and we'll just call it "Ring That Bell"
So, this round goes to Kara, Oliver Queen, and Tess Mercer.
