I thought "Big Girls Don't Fly" was very emotional. Great acting by Teri and Dean.
Lois was so sarcastic at the beginning after Clark told her. The thing is, there
wasn't enough WAFFy moments between Lois and Clark. I mean, this whole episode is
about how Lois deals with Clark's discovery about his heritage and the "leaving for
forever" thing, right? Then what happened to all the moments between Lois and Clark?
Everytime they tried to talk about it, Lois ends up changing the topic. That just
drove me nuts. They didn't even show how Lois and Clark finally decided that Clark
should go. That was so abrupt when they suddenly pops up at Zara and Ching's place
and told them their decision.

And also, Tez looked so pathetic with all the makeup and the bad teeth and all. It
was totally unnecessary. Who are they trying to scare anyway? The kids? He didn't
have to look like that to be an assasin; someone normal, like Ching, would be a good
assasin. And what about the scene between Lois and Tez? That was way too long. It's
like the producers want us to take a REALLY close look at his hideous face. I mean,
what's the point of that anyway? They should have used the time to show some WAFFs
between LnC.

At the end, it's the first time that I've seen Clark cry on the show. He looked so
sad.... Great job, Dean.

Well, I believe Lois was changing the subject because she didn't want to
break down- that's the feeling I got.

And the scene where Lois is looking at Clark from his balcony is the point
(I think) where they decided that he should go.


From reading this and other posts where people are mad about them not
discussing this or not showing that- it seems like some folks aren't going
to be happy unless they make this show a day-time soap (where they can
spend countless months on one topic) or there is a virtual world where you
can go and watch L&C hash out things day and night...

I think some things are important to show and be discussed on the show,
but I also think just showing one little scene of Lois looking at Clark
through the glass is worth more than a whole hour of a conversation
dealing with the decision to go.

Cheers!

It was even more abrupt for anyone watching in Rochester, NY because the
ABC affiliate played too many commercials in the break before this scene
and then just chopped right into the part where Lois said it was a mutual
agreement.

They'll do that. Tonight, L&C'S old competitor MURDER, SHE WROTE ended
its weekly run, and they did a nice goodbye to their fans -- except in
Washington, where the affiliate dumped out of the network feed to run two
commercials and a news teaser. Outrageous.

This same affiliate (WUSA, Channel 9) consistently chops the end off
whatever show is running at 10 p.m. because it thinks you really want to
see their robotic anchors endlessly tout the upcoming news.
