How has Jonathan changed since season 1? How has he not? :)

Well I partly answered this in a spoilers thread, but I'll say it again here. I'm capping season one for the site right now, and it hit me this afternoon before I even saw your QOTW.

After all the bad things he's been through, Jonathan hardly ever smiles anymore! There are lots of happy family scenes in the first season especially, but now all we see is doom & gloom for Jonathan. I wish the writers would give the good guys a break and give them a lil happiness once in awhile! Jon & Clark need something to smile about!

Yes, that's true. He's been very unhappy lately, especially toward the end of the season. :*( That's a change I think we all could have lived without. And he's much less sure of himself than he used to be. As he said himself, he doesn't trust his instincts like he used to.

Of course, his attitude toward Lex has changed a good deal. Unfortunately, they barely explored that at all in season 3, despite hinting that they were going to. Maybe they'll get into it next season.

He hasn't changed in that he'd still do anything for Martha and Clark. And also, he still strikes me as very humble -- in fact, more humble than ever. I know not everyone sees that, and it's true he's proud in some ways -- not wanting to accept help, etc. (As I said, he used to have a lot more confidence than he does now.) But he's humble in that he's usually good at recognizing his own mistakes and apologizing for them, and in that he puts others ahead of himself.

And of course, he's still as sweet and caring as he always was. :wub:

Ditto to everything said.

I really wish they'd let up on him some. I havn't seen him give a really good smile since "Perry" That's 17 episodes ago. Not that I was counting. *lying through my teeth*

There were a couple of good ones in "Resurrection" -- but still, smiling bravely during a life-and-death situation isn't quite the same as smiling happily!

Maybe we should think about changing our name to the "Stop Torturing Jonathan Society," or even the "Let Jonathan Laugh Society"! ;)

LOL! I like those names Renee! I totally agree! That's the one thing I wish - that they would let him smile and be happy again. His smile is one of his best features!

ONE of his best features. Heck, it IS his best feature. You remember that smile he gave Martha is Jitters? Ahhhh....

His other best feature is displayed in "RED" and I think you ALL know what I'm talking about.

Let Jonathan Laugh Society. I like it.

I just capped Jitters yesterday! And that's exactly what I'm talking about! I love the family hug at the end too ;)

I liked that hug too. I felt so sorry for Lex, though. He looked as if he was going to cry watching the Kent family's warm hug. But speaking of this question the one way Jonathan is different is that he's not holding on to Clark as much.

But he CAN'T hold on to Clark as much! His blasted deal with Jor-El won't let him. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME SO DANGED MAD!!!!!

The best scenes with Jonathan is where he is trying to hold on to Clark. Take those away and you have SQUAT!!!

(whoa...I got a little carried away there for a second didn't I?)
