the way clark immediately turns so petty and vindictive the moment he gets a shred of power is amazing. back on the plane, in the before, he was basically begging for scraps of attention from elizabeth / tyler. even going as far as to tell the kid about his dad, against elizabeth's wishes.
but later, when he's a de facto leader of the severn city airport community, he wants to kick them out?? why? because they can call him on his bs? i guess. miles also saw glimpses of the real clark, but miles was in the bag
so clark is a petty mean dude who never got over arthur besting him or whatever he perceived arthur's stardom as a movie star. and he took it out on his loved ones. except for miranda, i guess
