Remember Picket Fences or Northern Exposure?

Why he doesn't use his heat vision even though he's bulletproof?

What I meant to say was when some guy is pointing a gun at one of his friends or someone he's trying to save.

 

Clark doesn't know he can fly - I think he saw it in that one vision but he's never flown before. Like his other abilities it will probably come to him as time progresses, like his heat vision and such.

Gotta disagree RagingBitch. In the episode where he goes into the tornado to recue Lana he later tells his Dad that he's (Clark) sure that he was flying and not just floating in the twister.

And yes, the "dream" of his Dad , Kalel, flying would also give him a huge hint. I thought there was one other episode where he kinda used flying powers, but I'm probably wrong.

Oh yea I forgot about that. It was way from the early 2nd season but I think he thought of that more as "mind control" than flying - IIRC, he said he "willed" himself over there. I definitely don't recall him saying he was flying. I think that if it was the case where he knew he could fly anywhere he wanted, he would have done so by now. I think the intent with the "willed" part was that although he was in a tornado rotating at a couple hundred miles an hour, he had control of where he was going due to his strength and subhuman abilities.

The other episode - the only other one I could think of was the dream where he imagined he was floating over Lana's bed watching her sleep.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the newspaper classroom use Alienwares now? I'm pretty sure I've seen the green towers in several episodes recently, though I do remember chloe using a mac some time or another.

My pet peeves
- Chloe's haircut. Dunno why, but it just drives me nuts. I think she should style it differently or grow it out.
- pete being completely useless. just kill him off.
- Clark being a complete idiot and not telling Lana his secret. Confide in her so you two can finally hook up, and then you can tap that a$$!

Why would she? She's suppose to be a high school sophomore.

this is season 3, she should be a junior now.

my pet peeve: they use a body double every time "lana" shows skin

Are you fvcking serious? That body she showed wasn't hers?

definately wasn't hers (i'm talking about the ep is season 1 were she gets infected by the flower). also notice that when they show back shots of her she usually has some kind of bag to cover her ass. she is definately sefl-conscious though after that maxim(or whatever it was) spread i'm sure she has lightened up a bit.

yeah, they have been alienwares since lionel donated money as a bribe for chloe. i'm sure the only reason they used macs to begin with is the same reason most shows/movies do -- it's cheaper to show those than show windows.
