^ One of the best quotes of the series.

Very memorable and meaningful one too.

Martha did have many memorable quotes

I always loved when we can really see Martha do something since I felt her character really took a backseat to Jonathan a lot of the time so when we saw her do something big, I was always so happy because Annette did a great job with it.

Same here

its why I liked when she worked with Lionel or with the Senate

a fine mess · 11-30-2017, 08:39 PM

I remember when she was involved in politics! Cool opportunity for her.

I agree Sarah, her scenes with Lionel was some of her best stuff of the series whether people liked it or not.

And I always said that I don't know what it was but everytime I saw emotional scenes between Martha and Clark, it really got to me. It seemed like around Annette, Tom acting really pushed to another level.

Like the episode when we FINALLY see Clark cry at the end of Unsafe and Martha tells off Clark about what he did under the red kryptonite influence.
Or the episode AFTER Jonathan dies, and Clark sees the video tape of Jonathan and he cries watching it while wearing Jonathan's tape and Martha goes over to hug him.

Or in Season 5 when Martha is dying... and they have that sad moment.

His cries in front of mom is heartbreaking. So real.

It really was so real

such great acting

We rarely saw him cry, so those scenes were more powerful/meaningful.

Yup, and of course Martha could bring it out of him.

Connection between a mother and her son.

To quote Martha, "A mother love never dies."

I loved all the Martha versions, but loved Annette's Martha the most. I think it is also because we've seen her so much in the 10 seasons.

**eternalfate** · 12-05-2017, 11:53 PM

And this Martha just had the most to do.
