(Calling has Clana making out with Chloe seeing in front of the barn right? I didn't see that one. Also I would count the Exile glass break with epic tihngs happening. Kent men throw down! Reason why Bo is dead! )
I love love love how the sunbursts started in the hospital - I forgot about that. And it definitely started with merely trying to open up Luthor L's.
I wonder what the stain glass art in the Talon means though, a lot of people have brought that up before and they aren't really windows.
Idol has that great shot of Chloe standing in silouette in front of the window too.
I'd suspect they just use windows for the obvious. Namely to frame a shot, to emphasize symmetry etc. So to use the windows to frame a closing shot makes it look more ordered. So it just lends to the mood.
Or in some cases if it's framed tightly it can help makes things seem confined.
Then breaking the window is obviously very dynamic, so they use that for big turning points.
I do realize some of the windows have their own little quirks, like the Luthor crest you point out. Or the knight and his lady in the talon. There since there is a literal picture I figure it's fair enough to assume they want to make apoint if they frame the character with the symbol, like Tess with the Luthor crest.
The thing about the Planet window that intrigues is it's like a rising or setting sun. Or sometimes it could be placed like a halo.
The Watchtower window is just huge and the characters are usually dwarfed against it. Heck if I know what that means. The posies are supposed to be free thought, I looked that up before.
Well, the broken windows seem to definitely = big moments/romance. I think it's worth noting that we know from the Zod stills that Chlark are hugging right in front of the broken window with the car still there, but they never even show it except in the first wide shot of Chloe standing in the basement alone. If it were just about visuals, then I would think using it would be irresistible (the still of them from Zod with the car in back of them looks really cool) but they don't ever show it there. And again in Persona with keeping the windows out of the shot.
The usage of it in S9 is so insanely constant that they're obviously going for something deliberate there though. But I noticed that there are three scenes from S5-S7 that open with pulling off the window, and all three involve Lana (Cyborg, Chlark fighting in Noir, and Traveler). And it started being very prominent in the S8 scenes with Clark and Lois, where they would be talking about Lana there as well.
This picspam is seriously great. I don't really know what it all ~means~ but it does seem purposeful the amount they've stepped up using the Daily Planet windows. They do seem to be in like ever single DP shot in s9.
IT WORKED OUT SO WELL FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE TOP ROW.
AHAHA! One of the two people in those couples DIED so I'd say so! (Except we all know Lex isn't really ~dead~)
Seriously this is so metay and awesome I feel like I need to think thoughts about it! GREAT JOB! <3
ETA: I forgot to say: Vessel kiss= best kiss ever! It's the most epic kiss the show has ever done.

Well, if Lois dies, Chloe will be the real Lois Lane...so she wouldn't be really dead. :)
