Lois & Clark: The Proposal

So, in this week’s episode of Smallville, Clark finally asked Lois to marry him and I have to say it was the perfect proposal for them. Lois being late for their date because she was being worker-bee reporter. Clark completely awkward and nervous and getting more nervous by the minute as Lois was pretty much babbling herself out of his plans. You could see the panic in his eyes as she was telling him they just forget the whole date and just go home. Then the perfect save - he pretends to hear a call for help and zooms away - only to call her on a phone booth and have falling white rose petals falling out of the sky. Then, he comes back and gets down on one knee and nervously, proposes. So, frakking adorable. She of course says yes, leaving me crying and the show not even being on for 5 minutes -lol!

Loved the surprise engagement party the gang threw for them too. As Lois pointed out, it was nice to see them together and not having to hide anything from anyone. They both just looked so happy and everyone was so happy for them. I think they all needed some happy to go with all the crazy going on in their world. I can relate, I need some happy with one of my tv couples too. It’s hard out here for those of us that like the crazy complicated ones. Sigh.

The show also continued with the destiny and fate themes for Lois & Clark. There was the letter from Chloe, the speech from Oliver and of course the comparisons between Lois & Clark and Carter & Shiera. I love how the show continues to point out how epic their relationship is and then goes on to make it epic. It’s not just talk - it’s show and tell. Carter saving Lois this week and dying in the process was also epic. He died as he lived a hero - but it’s not over for him. Death is a release that brings him back to his love Shiera through rebirth, and he knows that so he meets death with no fear and he makes Clark promise to never forget he needs Lois in life to be the hero he’s meant to be.

The music for this episode as always was great. One of the things I really liked about it this week though was that there were some fun winks to the fans. When Clark proposes to Lois, there is a slight hint of the theme to Lois & Clark The New Adventures of Superman in the background. Then, later at the engagement party, there’s a hint of the Superman & Lois theme from Superman The Movie. I really appreciate it when this show does stuff like that. You have all that history behind this couple - damn it, you should use it! In a way, Lois & Clark get reborn throughout time just like Hawkman and Shiera.

Overall, the entire episode was really good. I didn’t think they could top last week’s but they managed too. Can’t wait until the show is back from the break!!!


Let’s re-watch that magical proposal, shall we? Play it again, Sam!!
