I'm one hundred percent convince that Lionel was writting code that has to be decipher... if not, CK is big and dumb and... alien

Clark is Kryptonian but he can't translate it...

It was in code. Hence the computer program to scan for patterns. Clark can read Kryptonian, remember Chloe took him the pattern after she found it... she can't read it.Comment

he couldnt read it because it all wasnt whole letters
the letters were proken into small peices so what he was looking at looked like giberishComment

There is an explanation........Just like in english we can create different meanings, or jumble up letters for different codes........hell read the davinci code if you want an example. All you need is the key to reading the text and thats what chloe found in the mathematical analysis.Comment

i thought he didn't know all of it bc when he was at FOS chloe messed up the learning process of all of that..or am i missin somethingComment

There is no logical reason Clark can't read Kryptonian anymore. Period. Everything I have on Kryptonian writing-- including dialogue from when Clark was reading Kryptonian in "Rosetta"-- is at http://www.ezrasmall.com/kryptonian-main.htm (go into the Gallery and then look at the pages related to the ship interior, etc.). Clark truly is a BDA, and I'm not sure what else to say about this lapse.

Parle-tu français? Pourtant, c'est le même alphabet
(For the mods: do you speak french. It's the same alphabet)
Hablas espanol?
(Do you speak espanol)
It's possible he doesn't understand. But I would have liked an explanation!Comment

He reads it. We saw that in Rosetta.
Kryptonian was created as an alphabet in the 40s, I think. But SV seems to be using it as a symbol language, like Chinese.
A bit of a stretch that Clark can't read it. But that's why we have cryptanalysts working on decoding messages. Sometimes, even when you know the alphabet, you need a computer to sort it all out.Comment

If Jor-El is so powerful he can communicate through Lionel from beyond the grave, why the hell wouldn't he do so using a standard Kryptonian alphabet and standard Kryptonian language? Look at the writing inside the ship... This just doesn't make any sense.

He can't read it, but CHLOE can translate it for him to read, that has to be the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen in this show.Comment

Chloe didn't translate it. Chloe scanned the symbols and ran it thru a computer to find a repeating pattern.
Can you read this jumble of letters?

It's impossible to easily read a jumble of letters no matter much English you know. The same thing applies to any other language.Comment
