Erica Durance ~ Smallville Season 8 Discussion Thread #1

Welcome to the 1st Smallville Season 8 Discussion Thread






Lois Lane Season 8 episode survivor
top 5 episodes

as voted by posters on the Erica Durance board.

Winner
8.05 - Committed


After they leave their engagement party, Chloe and Jimmy are abducted by a psychotic jeweler who was emotionally scarred by his wife's infidelity and is now kidnapping couples and subjecting them to a kryptonite-enhanced lie detector that shocks them if they lie. The abductor asks Chloe if she is in love with anyone else. Meanwhile, in an effort to find Chloe and Jimmy, Clark and Lois pose as a couple and are kidnapped themselves, then asked how they feel about each other.


Lois Lane Lines:

Another glass of bubbly? And throw in a Shirley temple for the lady.

Please tell me we didn't...

I take it I took a little drive on the porcelain highway.

You may have held my hair, but I don't need you to hold my hand, Smallville. This may shock you, but I can still drive a car.

You know what Lois likes to see when she comes home -- pants --pants on everyone.

Chloe! It's your coz! Guess who came to my rescue -- not Oliver Queen. [ Chuckles ] Clark Kent. He's just the sweetest boy I have ever known.

Whoa. No way am I putting my cousin's life in the hands of a mild-mannered copyboy. Try to keep up.

Clark Kent... will you marry me?

Well, we are finally out ring shopping. Who's the luckiest girl in the world? I am.

I know, right? I mean, we've been friends for so long, but we just had this one magical night, and we couldn't deny our feelings any longer.

You know, you're drifting dangerously close to cocky. What, no snarky comeback from the peanut gallery?

What's the point? Now that we've both seen your face, you're gonna kill us anyway.

Okay, crazy, this is the deal. We're not even really a couple. So this twisted test doesn't mean anything.

I don't know. Look, Clark and Lana went south. Things fell apart between me and Ollie. Just knowing that I had everything that I wanted right in front of me... and having it slip away. I just didn't want to see you have that kind of heartache.

Yep. All it took was them passing a madman's electro-cosmic death quiz, and I am sold.

Please. I mean, we do make a good team, but don't let our cover go to that big old head of yours.

Smallville, everyone knows you're a terrible liar. Who knows where we'd be if you'd answered that question?


Runner Up
8.19 - Stiletto



Lois believes that she needs a big story to secure her reputation as a star reporter but the red/blue blur continues to elude her. However, after Chloe is mugged, Lois steps in to fend off one of the attackers and uses the opportunity to pretend a new superhero, Stiletto, has come to town and is giving exclusives to Lois. Clark is concerned Lois will hurt herself pretending to be a superhero but after he is captured by thugs with kryptonite, Lois steps in to save the day.


Lois Lane Lines:

Okay, obviously there's been some sort of mistake. It's not like I squeezed into five-inch booted heels for my health.

The gargoyle at the gate was letting in everyone but me.

Can you blame the guy? What was I thinking? If you want your first interview with a rock star, you don't start with Springsteen.

I respect his heroism, professionally. But even when I did lower the bar and tried to slum a Green Arrow interview, it turns out Mr. Emerald Chaps is another closet case when it comes to publicity.

Call me Stiletto.

Tomorrow you can drool over her with the rest of the world. I'm fine, by the way. Thanks for asking. It's not every day that a superhero entrusts me with her phone number.

Look, if you want to help Chloe, why don't you go downtown and talk to the thug they did catch? Maybe Stiletto left enough teeth in his mouth for him to rat out his buddy.

I mean rebound your career. Nothing numbs the pain of a breakup like good, old-fashioned work.

Metropolis' newest superhero. Incoming. Meet... Stiletto. I was gonna sew an "S" into the chest. Is that tacky?

And when that police scanner goes off, The Red-Blue Blur is never far behind. E-mail those photos to my editor. I'm off to talk to a real hero.

Isn't it almost your bedtime, Smallville?

Oh, that's right, because your idea of being a hero is making sure there's still paper in the fax machine.

No, because you're doing way better than anyone expected!

Go figure. I want The Red-Blue Blur. I get the exact opposite.

Seriously, is there any woman in your life you haven't stood up?

I wouldn't say anything, Clark. I'd listen.

Then let's go save the world. I'm in the market for a sidekick anyway. Just don't slow me down

Why did you do that, Clark? You didn't need to be some kind of hero.

Those heels were giving my blisters blisters. Besides, if Manheim had better aim, you'd be dead. And it was really sweet of you to, you know, throw yourself in there, but I never should have put you in danger. It's not like you save lives for a living.

Look who got grazed by a funny bullet.

I'll put my best men on it. And by "men," I mean me because I work in the basement and employ pretty much no one, unless you count my intern. I'm sorry. I'm rambling.

What I've really been wondering is... what is it that you need? I mean, you've dedicated your life to a city full of strangers. And I'm not saying that I know what it's like to be a hero, but... even the fastest blur in the world can't outrun loneliness. I guess what I'm saying is... ...if you ever want to talk -- totally off the record -- I'm only a phone call away.


Third
8.10 - Bride


It's Chloe and Jimmy's wedding day and the two prepare to walk down the aisle at the Kent farm. Meanwhile, Oliver tells Clark he thinks he's discovered where Lex is hiding and takes off to Cuba to confront him. However, when he arrives, Oliver is shocked to find Lana instead. Clark and Lois grow closer but chaos ensues when Doomsday crashes the wedding and tries to kidnap Chloe.


Lois Lane Lines:

Stop hogging the spotlight, Smallville. Hey, cuz, you know that I love you, and I wish you and jimmy long and happy years together. And remember what The General always says -- marriage is the only war where you get to sleep with the enemy. You can edit out that last part, right?

Goldilocks, this is Mother Goose. What's the status at bridal central?

No. Mother Goose to Baby Bear. Mother Goose to Baby Bear. Come in, baby bear.

Better wear your bow and arrow, Cupid. That bumbling tadpole is not my Prince Charming.

You need to get your eyesight checked, Olsen. Clark doesn't like me. He likes...driving me crazy.

My God. I have too much to do to start crying, but you look breathtaking.

Are you starting to have feelings for tall, dark, and scary?

Smallville, chop-chop! Let's go! We can't have a wedding without the escort to give the bride away. Looks like you're ready.

Well, I guess you don't have much need for cuff links when you have a whole closet full of flannel shirts, huh, Farmer John? Big-city boy, let me give you a lesson. You just have to make sure this part sticks up straight, and then it slides right in.

Go on and enjoy the party. Trust me, it'll be a real buzz-kill to listen to me whine like Patsy Cline.

Okay. It's like I was going along, and it just snuck up on me. And I tried to ignore it, but then there are these moments that you can't. Maybe I was reading it wrong. And to add insult to injury, it all went down at tonight's tribute to romantic bliss. I know it sounds sappy... ...but I thought... just for a minute... that someone needed me.




Fourth
8.07 - Identity

Jimmy snaps a picture of Clark super-speeding to save Lois from a mugger and manages to catch a red and blue blur on film. Jimmy shows it to Tess who decides to run it on the front page of the Daily Planet. Clark fears his identity will be discovered so he asks Chloe to run interference with Jimmy, but she refuses.


Lois Lane Lines:

I write news stories, not fairy tales -- especially ones about mythical saviors that no one's ever seen.

Well, without a photo, that story is about as relevant as a five-part exposé on the Tooth Fairy.

I wouldn't be so sure. As shocking as it might seem, Smallville is no hack.

How does a violent criminal walk free? Yes, I've heard of bail --for jaywalkers or shoplifters, not muggers who almost killed me. I hope you realize that I will personally take this up with the mayor. Hello?

You know what you need? Lois lane's guide to surviving the big city. I know all the tips and tricks.

Nothing. But, ooh! Could you do me a favor? Zip.

Little thing called a date. I know you're fresh off the farm, but sometimes, when a guy likes a girl, he asks her out.

I don't do too well with fortune-tellers. The last one I went to see told me that I was destined to fall for a guy who flies a lot and likes to wear tights. So I'm just waiting for my cross-dressing pilot to make his landing.

And I can just as easily forget. I have a terrible memory. You can trust me.

What's rare? A pen that works in this place?

If I told you my secret, it would have put you in harm's way. It was for your own safety.

I certainly did, Jimmy Olsen. I have to say that I've underestimated you. As hard as it is to believe, I was saved now twice in two days. Without a doubt, I'm officially a true believer in this red-and-blue superdude.

I'm gonna use my expert tracking skills and find this camera-shy superhero.


Fifth
8.08 - Bloodline




Clark receives an anonymous package containing the crystal that Tess found in the Arctic. When he removes the crystal, it activates and sends him and a visiting Lois to the Phantom Zone where they run into Kara. Kara opens a portal for Lois to return but Zod's wife Faora escapes with her and takes over Lois' body. A possessed Lois goes on a rampage in Metropolis.


Lois Lane Lines:

Handle with care, Smallville. I've had those albums since I was 10.

Yeah, but at least the rooster only crows once. You try sharing walls with pre-wedding Chloe and Jimmy.

What's the funky paperweight for?

Smallville, just drop it!

What the Hell? Look, I'm no astronomy major, but I thought there was only supposed to be one sun in the sky.

How many spaceships does a girl need to stumble upon to convince you that there are aliens among us? Clark, we've been abducted!

We're not fine. We're standing on our graves! We're gonna die, us together. No more farmhouse, no more Daily Planet!

Oh, my god. Kara. They've abducted you, too?

So, first Kara, then Clark and I. It's like the Kent Farm's ground zero for alien abductions.

This is our DeLorean?

Lois/Faora: I need to find my son.

Lois/Faora: Trust me, my son. That which kills you makes you stronger.

Lois/Faora: Remind me, Kal-El -- did Jor-El and Lara come looking for you? Of course not. They didn't love you like I love my son.

Lois/Faora: You have feelings for this creature I inhabit. [ Scoffs ] Like father, like son.

Yeah, right. It was a dream. It's called make-believe. What other reality stars you as my knight in shining armor?

I think this season has been the best so far for Lois. I know that we're not thrilled by her four episode absence to put it mildly, but at least in every episode she's been in, she's gotten a lot of screentime. I think that Clark is usually the only one who has more screentime than her in the eps she's in.

ITA. It's been a great season for Lois. We got to see her go after stories and be mentor to Clark at the DP. We got to see her feelings for Clark start to develop and it's been interesting to see her feelings towards him especially in Instinct, Commited, and Bride

I'll work on a banner

I adore your banner Ray! The coloring is lovely.

The first half of season 8 was pretty awesome.

She's so pretty this season! Not that she wasn't in other ones, but her hair!!! GUH. I'm glad they decided to get rid of her previous hairstyle. It really didn't do to much for her.

Love the banner Ray!

It's hard to believe that she was featured so heavily in the first half of the season and she's barely around in the second half. Hopefully she'll at least get a ton of screentime in the remaining eps that she's in.

Thanks Ha and Rach

Yeah, S8 looked so promising in its first half. Lois had tons of screentime and good stories. I'm crossing my fingers for amazing Lois bits in the ones she's in too Rach
