First of all Lana isn't dead. If no one noticed the giant white truck that drove by right before her car blew up. There is no possible reason for it being in that scene unless lana went into it. My guess is lana set up the bomb herself so everyone would think she was dead and could escape. Secondly, has there not already been a seasonal finale where Clark has to fight another version of him self. Even if this time the evil clark can absorb kyrptonite. Thirdly, how has clark not got caught in the act of using his powers by Lex. He uses them in his mansion which Lex has admitted to he has surrvelence on. Otherwise i thought it was allright

My God..... First time on here reading comments and now i know why.
I am a HUGE superman fan and always have been (my entire right arm is covered in a superman/ bizzaro tattoo) but reading what some of you have to say is disgusting, absurd and obviously coming from a place of ignorance.
Im aware Smallville is an "alternate take" on the Superman universe but if you "Chlark" fans honestly think that Clark belongs with Chloe you are horribly mistaken and are obviously mis-informed. I know the writers have done some things that vary slightly from the existing Superman mythology (Lex as a friend, Jonathan kents death, the existance of Lionel and Chloe)and that can be understood because noone wants to watch the same old story over again. To think that Clark would end up with Chloe is going against and changing probobly the most significant and meaningful part of Superman lore, Lois & Clark. The whole series is based on that premise. The same premise as the original comic books: No matter the amazing things Superman/Clark can do, he is most human in the way that when it comes to love he is truly powerless. This is a theme that has been reflected in many of the Superman comic books i have read, and has been, and still is the central theme of Smallville. Taking away "lois & clark" is as significant as taking away the signiture cape and boots.
I get the sense from reading these comments that alot of fans are of the "dawsons creek" variety, you "like" Chloe and you "like" Clark, so you want to see them together. Now i love Allison Mack and the character she plays. Chloe is an integral part of the smallville story but in reality she is a "fake" character, and in that manner she is expendable. She will die in heroic fashion before this series ends and we will see the writers continue to plant the seeds of lois & clark, i beleive without actually seeing them romantically involved, as that will be the final cliffhanger in the final episode.
Smallville is different than most series because most of us already know how the story ends. The interesting part is watching the characters slowly develop into the people they will become. I know you fans of prime time soap operas want to see Clark live happily ever after with Chloe but we all know lois is the one he's meant to be with and Lex is the man he's meant to fight against. The fun part will be watching all the events in the upcoming seasons lead our characters down that path and watch as all the Superman lore is in the end, respected...... I hope.

Cheers, Shane W

I'm a fan of BOTH Chloe and Lois,and I personally would never let fan groups determine if I like a character or not.I read a varity of message boards(I like reading different perspectives on the characters)And EVERY fan group have people that are harsh towards the other characters.On SWEET Lana fans are harsh to Lois(calling her Hois)and Chloe(call her a troll). TWOP is harsh towards Lois(call her Nois)and Lana (call her Pwink Pwincess).Ksite has a varity of fans.DevotedtoSmallville appears to be more Lana and Lois friendly.DI is more Lois friendly.
If I go to a site that isn't Chloe or Lois friendly I know not to get bent out of shape if posters take pot shots at those two. It's a site for those(whether Chloe,Lois or Lana)fans who like that particular character to vent,talk etc. So going into that situation I'm prepared and never get offended,because it's to be expected in a way. If I allowed other fans to determine my like of a character,when I go on SWEET I'd love Lana and hate Chloe and Lois. TWOP would be love Chloe hate Lana/Lois. DI would be love Lois hate Chloe/Lana and so on.

Guy your are right. They are changing the story. Bizzaro Clark is going to become the actual Clark Kent, Lionel Luthor will be the arch nemesis of Clark Kent instead of Lex Luthor and Lana will be the Clark's love of the life.

I think that in the season finally Clark looked SEXY in black.... my god he looked good... i sure wold like to have sex wit him..

Guy, you were right bout that; Chloe should become Lois Lane of Smallville. Lana should come back but not to Clark, Lois Lane (Erica Durance) is just not right for that role. Lex was supposed to be down-right evil, but instead he was between nice and confused. Because the whole story was a myth, I guess that why the story lines can be changed since it’s not a true life story. If the writers know they are going to change the story, why are they still torturing us with Lois (Gosh she sucks). Since Jonathan is dead I guess I can’t come back, unless they planned on turning the whole story into a Soap-opera, coz to me its looks like that where they are heading. But I hope to see Martha and Pete soon.

Well it is like this, if they kill off the main characters of the show I am finished watching it. Clark, Chole, Lana, Lois, Lex and his father and Martha Kent are the main characters of the show and what makes the show so outstanding, interesting and dramatic, as well as filled with excitement as well as adventure. If you kill off the main chracters of the show the show becomes boring. Look at Stargate SG1, they removed the main character and bam, the series comes to an end. The same thing will happen to this great series if they kill off the main characters. I myself do not want to see this happen. I love watching the Smallville series, it is one of my most favorite shows to watch, of course I have been a superman fan since childhood and I am now 62. I have not missed any of the superman related series on TV. Smallville is the best Superman show since the first Superman series with George Reeves. The rest were OK, but, don't hold any place compared to Smallville. Do us all a favor and if Lana and Chole are dead bring them back or the series is done. Removing any of the main characters of a show is the first step in the series ending. It has happened countless times in the pass with many great shows. I really don't get it, writers and producers have a great series going and make decisions they know will destroy it and end it. your comments are welcome, please ........ send them

CLARK and LOIS should really forget their differences and just fall in LOVE, this time with a conscious mind.Last Episode was devestating,If CHLOE dies SMALLVILLE would be a bum. Without CHLOE,CLARK WOULD, personally,be CRAP! (readers, don't hate me for that)I still think CLARK is CUUUUTE!!!! Lex should say bye, bye to SMALLVILLE. I think the faster you get him off the better.
Lana on the other hand should be blown to bits right about now.My entire class thinks LANA is a HO!! (No offence Kristen!!)

I heard that Chloe and Jimmy got together, if you know what I mean. Is it true? I am 51% sure they did. Poor Clark.

I can see how CW would be motivated to keep Smallville on for the 8th year. Even with the low ratings, Smallville and Top Model are the top show. I have watched the show from the pilot and I don't like how the characters are evolving:
Lex should be insane and evil. Lex is written now as a deceitful sissy. The Smallville Lois is unnecessary, she acts like a skank and not the endearing Lois of Margot Kidder league. Erica as Lois is just appalling. How did Lionel become a good guy? I just don't get that kind of illogical character change. I honestly have not enjoyed Season 6. I still feel the show's appeal is about Clark-Lana-Lex-Chloe. I hope the writers write some great stories about them and bring the series to a finish. The show should satisfy the viewers who have watched from the beginning: Clark and lana should realize their love before he leaves for training. Mother Kent should be around the farm to wave good-bye. Lex should become vicious and an American psycho and Lionel should stay bad, so bad that Lex will kill him. Chloe should be the Lois of Smallville, she has earned the viewers loyalty after all these years.

Anybody can be Clark's future love. It’s just a story that can be re-written. People please get over your fight of Chloe and Lois. Find something else to do. Am a Chloe; Lana’s fan, i really don't care 4 Lois, but that doesn't mean that CW are going to change her character 4 me. Whoever wins Clark's heart is fine with me. I hope 2 not post anything after this, coz u fans ve nothing else to do except pisses each others off. High scholars behave well than most of you grown ups. GET IT INTO YOUR THICK HEADS; IT’S JUST A SHOW, SO STOP STRESSING YOUR YOURSELVES OVER NOTHING. JEEZ!!

Its actually nice to see that even though clanaers and CLoisers have had their good share of fights in the past and I'm sure some of us still go at it, but we've accepted that Lana is Clark's first love & Lois is his future & true love.

And even though I wish Clark and Lana could stay together, it's best I just enjoy the ship while it lasts, or the good times they did have.

If the writers got it right the comic Clana relationship wasn't suposed to be so angsty, I can see why so many wish death to clana. Believe me I too find it frustrating.

Still I'll assume everyone is a fan of Smallville & Superman, and sice some claim to know alot about the comics than you must know that every character is important to Clark's journey to becoming the great hero he's destined to be.
Not just watch the show just to come on boards and fight over ships and characters and bash and hate the cast members and belittle eachother.

We're a fanbase of pre-Superman, we should be above such childish stuff. Has anyone not learned anything from this show? Or do you fast forward the parts that dont have your favourite characters and ship in it?
Superman has been going on for 70 years - we should be able to discuss things like adults. This fanbase is ripping itself apart the fans will be so divided that in the next 30 or more years superman won't be as popular because it is the fans that keep it going, into the next generation and if we keep carrying on like this with this negetive behaviour and attitudes no one is going to wanna be apart of this fanbase if they can't (constructively and respectfully) express ther love for this superhero without someone picking a fight with them.

Please call truce people until the show is over atleast, lets enjoy it while it lasts, together.

The characters are who they are, they arent going to change any one of them to please a small portion, since everyone has read, watched different incarnations of the mythos characters.

I love the modern take on them, its quite clever.

I heard that its possible for more mythos characters to be introduced next season, and General Sam Lane returns next season will be supermad, can not wait!

Peace

I would like that Clark and Lana ended up by being friends some day, and still, being a cloiser, I accept that Lana is the Clark's first love and therefore the principal couple of Smallville, but Lois is and always will his real love and soulmate.

Nevertheless, I cannot stand the lack of Clark's morality, because he will not learn his values from Jor El, but from Martha and Jonathan. Martha is in the DC and Jonathan is dead. Clark already should have a few very strong values. It does not come with the suit, it comes with the education that the Kent gave him.

I can stand to see a bit stubborn Clark at the moment of fight because he is not trained yet. But his human values always were inculcated by his parents, he should have them ALREADY

*QUOTE*
I'm so sick of this "Lana ruining Clark's morals" BS. In case you fail to notice, he's not wearing the big red and blue spandex suit yet (it's still tucked away in Chloe's closet for when she wants to play SuperChloe)....and he's not "supposed" to act like anything other than a young man who's ex-buddy manipulated and took his girlfriend. Why wouldn't Clark be happy that Lana's leaving Lex? Why shouldn't he kiss her? Just because she dons a freaking diamond ring that means absolutely NOTHING?

She didn't marry Lex because she was just dying to be his bride. And since the phony wedding she's found out the truth behind her so-called husband's manipulation and lying to her about everything he's ever said. Yet she's somehow obligated to remain faithful to that a$$hole? No freaking way. It was an abusive relationship, she wanted out of it and she's still as much in love with Clark as he is with her. Plain and simple. They don't owe Lex Luthor crap.

As for all this Chloe and Lois battling, let it go already. Lois is Clark's future. Chloe isn't. That's pretty simple to understand too. Chloe plays a role in his life when he's a young man. She's his longtime buddy. She has an avid interest in journalism...and these traits she has are one of the reasons he's inspired to become a journalist himself. She's there to act as an influence on Clark. Fantastic. Now, if only she would give him back his brain full-time so he can actually someday work on and write a story on his own...that would be terrific.
*UNQUOTE*
I 100% agree with you.
I like Lana, and still fond of Clana - even though I ship Clois but Lana is the right person to be and deserves to be Clark's first love- think about it my fellow Cloisers, without Lana/Clana WE wouldn't have CLois in the future.

I'm just hoping the writers patch stuff up nicely between Clark & Lana, they deserve to be happy and remain close friends (like they were suposed to in the comics)
I think Lana will have a great deal with finally setting Clark straight.
Lois can't give him too much guidence because that's her role in the future.
Lana should help Clark become a man while Lois helps him become a hero.

Chloe; I'm hoping next season her powers evolve better and she official joins her place with the JL as the Oracle.
Chloe has always put others before her so when her powers are finally under her control and aren't life threatening to her, she can save people too. I think Chloe would be great as a hero, afterall Wonder Woman played her Mom. How freaking cool was that?

For the love of God kill Chloe already with this kind of fans I wished I was dead too.

And geez all of sudden not liking a character based on their fan base is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t be lemming’s people. Make up your own mind based on what the character does or does not do and not the fan camp that follows it. It’s not as if liking any character requires having a pet die-hard fan sitting with you on the couch when you watch Smallville or you all of a sudden have to agree with 100% of their viewpoints. That’s like saying you aren’t going to listen to a band because the die-hard fans all dress in black leather, do copius amounts of drugs, and wear face paint.

UNQUOTE

JASON: THIS IS SPOT ON! I like Chloe AND Lois..and quite frankly, from the posts we see from both sides, both fanbases are out of control!!!..but that does not mean I have to dislike any or both of them...and I WILL NOT CHOOSE A SIDE because liking one or the other is NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

Like or dislike the character for what they do for you, not what fans say about them.

Clark is too sexy for his own good. yummy.

and Lois just plain out bites the big one. get rid of her PLEASE she is a super annoying character.

I'll I have't to say is if you guys kill of chole I'll never watch sv ever ever again!!!!! I love how her and clark work togather in the shows,and her power is sooooooo cool!! Now for who i think will died in the new shows this fall is lionel because we all know that lana did't blow up,and Lois,Lex,Clark,and Clarks Mom are in the later shows.And every budy loves chole sooo I think its lionel who gets cut off,deader then a door nail!!,off with his head!! byebye!! see ya later!! lionel has left the building!! so go with my plan for the show

You all complain that Lois isnt into journalism, as soon as she does you complain even more!
Then when word came out Lois would get a big arc next season and would stumble onto a big story at S6's end/finale - you all complain "no she can't take 33.1 thats chloe'story!"
Um no one owns any story, its up for anyone to grb - hell Linda Lake could of figured out Lex's plans.

And now you bash Lois (& Erica = how very grown-up of you) on how she researches & invistigates???

I read up on Iconic Lois Lane from the comics and it's very clear that Lois (yes I mean SV's Erica's Lois - the only Lois in SV)
is well on her way to be her iconic self, she will reach that before Clark or Lex. Here's what I found at Supermanica;

Lois Lane’s penchant for getting into trouble;
Because Lois Lane is fearless to the point of foolhardiness (S No. 21/2, Mar/Apr 1943: “The Four Gang leaders”; and many others), she is forever getting into serious trouble from which only Superman can extricate her, something the Man of Steel has done on easily a thousand occasions. In the words of Superman No. 4 1/2:

If Superman had a medal for every time he’s rescued Lois Lane, he’d have enough metal to build a battleship, for, as all Metropolis knows, these rescues have run the gamut from bandits to burning buildings. Extricating Lois from trouble has become daily routine for Superman! (Jul/Aug 1946: “Clark Kent’s Bodyguard!”).

Lois Lane’s penchant for “getting into trouble” is alluded to in the chronicles repeatedly. In May-June 1941 Clark Kent describes it as her “favorite sport” S No. 10/3), and in November-December 1952 he muses that Lois “has a genius for getting into trouble!” (S No. 79/2: “The End of the Planet!”).

“I can’t get to sleep—worrying about Lois,” thinks Clark Kent to himself in Spring 1942, “...she has a better aptitude for getting into trouble than anyone I’ve ever known.“ (WF No. 5: ‘The Case of the Flying Castle”).

“If anything happened to Lois,” observes Superman wryly in July-August 1942, “I’d have to join the ranks of the unemployed!” (S No. 17/1: “Man or Superman?”).

And Superman No. 104/1 contains this comment: “Lois Lane seems to have a natural talent for trouble! How often her busy little brain gets her into scrapes where only the Man of Steel can save her!” (Mar 1956: “Lois Lane, Super-Genius”).

When Lois Lane does find herself in jeopardy, it is usually for one of the following reasons:

(a) In pursuit of a news story, Lois fearlessly, and recklessly, places herself in mortal danger.
(b) Criminals attempt to harm her in retaliation for her articles exposing their rackets in the pages of the Daily Planet.
(c) Evildoers kidnap her and attempt to hold her hostage as protection against Superman onto force the Man of Steel to do their bidding
(d) Evildoers attempt to harm Lois as an indirect means of wreaking vengeance on Superman.
Early on, however, Lois Lane comes to realize that she is under Superman’s personal protection and that, no matter how dire her predicament, the Man of Steel will always arrive in time to rescue her. This knowledge has nurtured in Lois a flamboyant self-confidence that borders on the ridiculous.

“For a girl who is in serious danger, you appear singularly unconcerned,” remarks the Talon, after he has taken Lois Lane captive in July-August 1942. “Why should I worry,” replies Lois smugly, “when Superman has made it his full-time activity to look after helpless me?” (S No. 17/1: “Man or Superman?”).

“Luthor will probably kill you the minute he gets here,” exclaims one of Lex Luthor’s henchmen to a cocky Lois on another, similar occasion, “…yet you have the nerve to grin.” “Why shouldn’t I?” replies Lois with a smile. “Superman has always managed to show up and save me whenever I was in trouble! I’m sure he won’t fail me now!” (S No. 17/4, Jul/Aug ‘42: “When Titans Clash!”).

It is this same reckless self-confidence that informs Lois’s response on another occasion, in July- August 1943, after she has been taken captive by a hoodlum in the pay of the Dude. “I don’t understand you, lady,” remarks the hoodlum. “You should be scared stiff, but you act like you’re going to a lawn party!” “Why shouldn’t I be cheerful?” laughs Lois. “Just think of the big scoop I’m going to score!” (S No. 23/3: “Fashions in Crime!”).

In the early years of her career, Lois Lane frequently carries a small pistol in her purse, both for self-defense and for extorting information from criminals (Act No. 43, Dec 1941; and others). She has apparently abandoned the practice; however, by the end of 1942, perhaps because Superman’s constant intervention on her behalf rendered the pistol superfluous.

By the 1970s, Lois Lane eventually learned the Kryptonian marital art of Klurkor in the city of Kandor and became formidable in hand to hand combat. This skill served her well in later solo accounts in Superman Family where her independent investigations led to her defeating numerous criminals without Superman's intervention being necessary

So stop claiming you think you know everything of how the ILL is suposed to be.
Are you the writers? the creators?
No, just disrespectful, obsessive, so called "Supes/SV" fans.

And hating what Chloe has become & wanting her to ve something/body else is an insult to Chloe herself.
I love Chloe.
Chlois = no Chloe, which would really suck.

Season 7 better have more Cho-Lo & Chimmy :D

So I see you idiots still like to come on here and spew your crap because your fantasies of Chlark/chlois are ruined because she's a freak and is not Lois Lane or Lana?

Get over it.

"Chlonie" (Chloe the clone of Lana & Lois) yes she is a clone, she is a rip-off, a cheap rip off.
A sneaky way for the creators to get their oh-so-unoriginal character into the mythos.

I've seen the shows, movies & read the comics, including Superboy and Supe's GF Lois Lane, which one issue featured on the cover Lois kissing Green Arrow, and Aquaman & Batman were next in line - so that is canon! SV's Lois having relationships with JL members is apart of ILL.
Here's a link to the comic cover Im talking about.
http://i15.tinypic.com/53yqjxl.jpg

here's some info from the Lois Lane (comics)

Depictions of Lois Lane have varied in the nearly 70 year history of Superman comic books and other media adaptations. During the Silver Age, she was the star of Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane, a comic title that had a light and frivolous tone. However, the original Golden Age version of Lois, as well as versions of her from the 1970s onwards, portray Lois as a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman.

Aspects of Lois' personality have varied over the years (depending on the comic writers' handling of the character and American social attitudes toward women at the time), but in most incarnations she has been depicted as a determined, strong-willed person, whether it involves beating her rival reporter Clark Kent to a story or (in what became a trademark of 1950s and 1960s era Superman stories) proving to others her suspicion that her fellow reporter Clark Kent was in reality Superman. She also traditionally had a cool attitude toward Clark, who in her view paled in comparison to his super alter ego. At times the character has been portrayed as a damsel in distress.

Lois is regarded as attractive, but not in the exaggerated "supermodel" sense often seen in superhero comics' depictions of women. Her appearance has varied over the years, depending either on current fashion or (especially more recently) the way she's depicted in contemporary media adaptations; for instance, in the mid-1990s, when Lois and Clark began airing, Lois received a hair cut that made her look more like Teri Hatcher, and her eyes were typically violet to match the Lois of the television cartoon Superman: The Animated Series after that show began airing.

Lois is the daughter of Sam and Ella Lane. In the earlier comics, her parents were farmers in a town called Pittsdale; the modern comics, however, depict Sam as a retired soldier, and Lois as a former "army brat," with Lois having been trained by her father in areas such as hand-to-hand combat and the use of firearms. Lois also has one younger sibling, her sister Lucy Lane.

By the end of the 1960s, as attitudes toward women's role in American society began to change, Lois did as well. 1970s stories featuring Lois depicted her as being fully capable of taking care of herself, engaged in more solo adventures without Superman being involved, and her being much less interested in things such as discovering Superman's secret identity. For example, in her solo stories in Superman Family (an anthology title started in the mid-1970s from the merging/cancellation of several previous titles, including Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane and Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen), Lois regularly battled criminals in her investigations and defeated them with quick wits and considerable skill.

I noticed that in comics where Lois & Clark live Today, in an apartment at 1938 "Sullivan" Lane in Metropolis.
...Look! Loook! Chlonie has a her own lane - everyone be happy!

Another thing is "Chlonie" is as much a copy of Lana than Lois.
go read here;
http://supermanica.info/wiki/index.php/Lana_Lang

And she is the reason why CLark is the idiot he is now, "Chlonie" is jealous of Lana, yet she cheerleads for clana?
She's a lier & backstabber - as soon as clana break-up Chloe plaus both sides and urges clana back together but when they finally do - oh Chlonie is jealous?? WTF!? She has issues - she she get over it, move on, clark doesnt love you girl, not that way. If nothing Chlonie should of been cousin or sister to Lana.

The Mythos evolves every generation, SV has modernized the characters and the stories. Chlonie has destoryed this generation's chance of evolving since the only thing that has evolved on SV is her. The writer's favourite.

this show is what needs saving, they should of killed Chlonie in season 3 and kept Pete - who is the real best friend of Clark Kent! but he left because Chlonie (yep her again) hogged all the spotlight.

WAY TO GO - SOON Lex will want to leave, I hear MR already wants out, like KK.
I don't blame em.

Here are some quotes which might give insight into why Lois was not introduced into journalism until Season 6 IMO

"http://movies.about.com/od/spiderman2/a/spiderag062204.htm -
Is there a specific look you’re going for?
MILES MILLAR: I think someone with the right attitude, actually, a really funky contrast to Lana. Just a really cool, modern version of Lois Lane.

AL GOUGH: And again, this is the Lois before she’s a reporter and everything else, but you want to see the seeds of what she will become and the kind of relationship she’s going to have with Clark down the road."

Well they did that in Season 4 with Lois investigating along with Clark.

"http://www.kryptonsite.com/gough0904.htm
K-SITE: Was bringing Lois Lane on to the show always part of the plan?

GOUGH: Yes. The question was always with the movie division of whether or not we could do that. We initially wanted to bring her on for a full 22 episodes, and they said, well, you can have her for 13. Which was fine, so we worked out an arc for Lois for the season. But the plan was to introduce Lois into the series at some point. And we'd really talked about it last year, and really couldn't make it work, again, with getting all the components of Time-Warner that need to sign off on these things to sign off, and so we really kept plugging away at it, especially during the hiatus. Then the feature division graciously said yes, and so we were able to introduce Lois this season. Which at that point, I think we needed to introduce a new character into Clark's life, and it's interesting since this is the woman he will ultimately end up with, who at this point, when he meets her, doesn't like her at all. So it's great because it gives you a completely fresh dynamic to have this character who Clark doesn't really like, and she doesn't really like Clark. Everybody else on the show pretty much likes Clark, so there's this one person out there who doesn't, who will call him on things, and it's an interesting side of Clark to see, and I think it really plays into Tom Welling's romantic comedy chops. And he's good. And they're really good together."

So the movie division has the restrictions in the number of episodes Lois can appear.

"http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a1199/index-3.html
OG: Will the show tie in at all to the Superman movie next summer, or is it completely off-limits?

AG: We're friends with [director] Bryan [Singer] and [screenwriters] Mike [Dougherty] and Dan [Harris] and we certainly talked and let them know what we're doing this season. We don't want any egregious mythology conflicts. There's no storyline that's going to play into the movie or anything like that."

TPTB have mentioned that they are using Chloe as Clark's link to journalism and DP. There were restrictions for the number of episodes in which Lois can appear so it wouldn't be possible to place Lois at DP because they have to have Chloe at DP providing the information to Clark and it will be egregious mythology conflict as to why Clark is working with Chloe instead of Lois. So they had to have an alternate route for Lois into journalism and their choice was that Lois start her career from a completely different approach than Chloe and TPTB chose tabloid reporting which would have been an egregious mythology conflict in season 5. And that is the reason why they had to get Lois into journalism in Season 6

"http://blogs.mediavillage.com/ed_martin/archives/2007/04/smallville_2.html
Me: Chloe has developed into one of the most interesting characters because she's central to the show but she isn't part of the classic Superman story.

DS: It's great with Chloe, because we have free reign with her and can take her in any direction we want.

TS: Free reign meaning free from DC Comics mythology."

Amen. That plus no/minimum comics knowledge explains why all the DC Characters are screwed up.

-----Yes, she investigates for Clark but because it's not the Chloe Show, the audience only sees her interactions with Clark not her work at the DP. That doesn't mean she's given up her dream of being the best investigative reporter at the DP.------

Then how in the world is Chloe sidelined for Lois to become a reporter because Chloe is still written as doing the investigations for Clark. Since Chloe has her own meteor freak story going on I would like Clark to start doing his own investigations instead of running to DP for everything.

----- Lois fans, the problem is not Lois, the problem is the magic evolution of Lois. -------
I didn't like the way Lois was introduced into journalism. But since then there has been no magic evolution.If would have been a magic evolution if Lois got into DP after her GA story. Time in and time out we have been reminded that Lois works for Inquisitor which is a tabloid. Even in Prototype the FBI agents wouldn't believe Lois because she worked for the Inquisitor. I want to see her gradual step up in her career. I didn't expect Lois to start at DP directly and I am seeing the glimpses of the ace reporter whom we will see in the future.

wow the smallville season finale rocked!!

All i have to say is tht Chloe was one of my favorites, and if she is dead the show will definetly not be the same w/o her!!

Lois fans, the problem is not Lois, the problem is the magic evolution of Lois. Chloe take 132 episodes to become a good reporter and Lois take 12. Why destroy a character. In the last 40 comments, 90% destroy the character of Chloe. You are not better than somes Chloe fans. You know that in the mythology Clark and Lois are together. I have a suggestion for the producers. I suggest that Chloe ages at the same speed as Clark. If it is considered that he ages 10 times less quickly than the human, when LOIS quit the world Clark will be with Chloe for the rest of his life. Lois fans and Chloe fans are happy.

Lois was kept away from her real profession i.e., journalism only because of DC restrictions so all the arguments by Chloe fans are useless. Al Miles would've shown Lois as a journalist from day one and she'd be in Daily Planet by now if it weren't for the restrictions! What would Chloe fans have done then?

When "Lois" was first introduced, I liked her (as many other Chloe fans did) and was ready to accept her as iconic Lois Lane (ILL). Her first four episodes were great. But as the show progressed and "Lois" was shown to happily mooch off the Kents (who had financial problems), rag on Clark, and generally show no interest in anything - it started to grate on my nerves. Yes, ragging on Clark is an ILL trait. But ILL gave Clark a hard time because Clark was the bumbling newbie that ILL felt that she had to babysit. In Smallville, "Lois" had nothing to feel smug about.

In fact, she failed to graduate high school. She insisted that that was a mistake but her father told her she was missing credits and enrolled her in SHS. Once there, she reluctantly worked for the Torch to get her credits but wasn't interested enough to pursue writing/journalism/anything. She got into MetU because Lex pulled strings as a favor to Clark. She never got the required credits to graduate SHS and happily accepted a handout to go to MetU. She then proceeded to squander her opportunity at MetU by getting kicked out for drinking and other stuff. She again happily came back to SV to live with the Kents. Since then she's been handed a job as waitress at the Talon. Next, she was handed the campaign manager and chief of staff jobs despite the fact that she was not qualified to do either.

Fast forward to this year. After a barn door almost hits her, "Lois" is suddenly a reporter. She tries to get hired at different newspapers but, with her credentials, only manages to get a job at the Inquisitor. She disses the DP by calling it a pseudo-intellectual rag. She lies to get on the front page and to earn a paycheck. She almost gets fired from the Inquisitor for not coming up with a story and begs Chloe to give her one. When Chloe refuses, she lucks out when she recognizes the venue in an image Chloe threw out after Clark spilt coffee on it. Then she steals evidence in an attempted murder investigation and stumbles into Project Ares where, as luck would have it, her first drunken kiss is being used as a prototype by Lex. It's all contrived and convenient and not ILL-like.

In the meantime, Chloe graduated valedictorian and went on to MetU to study journalism. She actively continued to pursue her dream of working at the DP, the best newspaper in the DCU. When her deal with Lionel came back to haunt her, she overcame that obstacle by showing Kahn that she could investigate, get proof, and write a good story. Since then she has had two front page stories in the DP and, while she's still in the basement, she is working hard to achieve her dream. Yes, she investigates for Clark but because it's not the Chloe Show, the audience only sees her interactions with Clark not her work at the DP. That doesn't mean she's given up her dream of being the best investigative reporter at the DP.

All this to say that even after "Lois Lane" was introduced, the Al, Miles, and the writers had Chloe continue to investigate, write articles, and get in the DP. She continued on her path as investigative reporter working with Clark to bring the truth to the people. She is one of the youngest reporters to get published at the DP. That is why so many Chloe fans see her as the iconic Lois Lane in Smallville and why "Lois" will never measure up.

wow...there is some crazy stuff going on in these boards.very sad.

It's one thing to know what to do in times of crisis and at the brink of death, and another to ACTUALLY do it when the time comes. Some people just lose all notions of calm and common sense, and do the complete opposite thing instead. Just how many people have lost control of a car, and instead of pulling the emergency break, they floor the gas pedal instead. Or the way people always panic in times of emergencies like a fire break out, when they've been told countless times they should stay calm.

When you're stabbed with something, shock usually takes over and your reflexes/instincts will tell you to pull the thing out. Not many people would be able to overcome that reflex and remember what to do (or not to do) instead.

Lois definitely should have known better than to pull the dagger out, but I could hardly hold her against that. Common sense is usually swept away in moments like that. It's a realistic reaction.

There are jerk posters from every shipper camp. It's hard not to be a little defensive as a Chloe fan when most on-line posts aimed your way seem to be celebrating that she might die, end up crazy, or as a meteor freak. On many boards you can barely even discuss the character without either a Clana shipper saying “neeneer neener Clark’s always going to love Lana” or a Clois fan saying “pffft Lois is going to blow her away”.

Speaking personally I never take shots until someone starts taking them at me. But, and when a poster says "Lois always loved journalism" and a Chloe fan says "No she didn't, in fact she said 'Kill me first' when it was suggested as career path" that's not taking shots at a character or a fan camp. That's just stating what actually happened on screen. Correcting someone isn't taking shots at them. I don’t mind at all if a Lois Lane who lies in her articles, wasn’t into journalism until a flying barn door almost hit her, and couldn’t come up with a story to save her own job without rooting through her cousin’s trash is your cup of tea but it doesn’t mean that any of what I just said is untrue or taking shots. It’s what really happened. Now, I can understand why someone who posts “Lois always loves journalism” can feel as if they’ve been attacked when they get a paragraphs response with quotes and scenes from the show detailing why that statement isn’t accurate but simply stating “You’re wrong” probably doesn’t go over much better because we all know how human beings react to that statement (they say prove it so why not be proactive).

And geez all of sudden not liking a character based on their fan base is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t be lemming’s people. Make up your own mind based on what the character does or does not do and not the fan camp that follows it. It’s not as if liking any character requires having a pet die-hard fan sitting with you on the couch when you watch Smallville or you all of a sudden have to agree with 100% of their viewpoints. That’s like saying you aren’t going to listen to a band because the die-hard fans all dress in black leather, do copius amounts of drugs, and wear face paint.

I enjoyed Phantom..

-I Love evil Lex
-Love the fact that Lexana is over *finally*
-Loved the secret reveal between Clark and Lana and the kiss between them was oh so sweet.
-Love the fact that Lana isn't dead (we know she's in the back of that mail truck ;))
-Love the fact that Clark got BOTH his balls back and is pissed off as hell and looking sexy while doing it.
-Loved Chloe
-Loved the Chlark scene
-Love JG/Lionel
-Loved the Lionel/Clark scenes (including the one with MM)
-Loved the Bizarro/Clark fight
-Loved the Clark and Lex confrontation
-And Lois what can I say about this chick, she is just a trouble maker on the show. She is the one character on this show that actually goes looking for trouble and 99.9% of the time, someone has to end up risking their life to save her(when she was warned by Chloe who knows the Luthors and knows what they're capable of, that something like this would happen).

What kind of individual who's supposably has military training would pull out the knife when she should know that by doing that, she will bleed faster (she doesn't even TRY to contain the wound by tearing off a piece of her shirt but could figure out in the blink of an eye that the numbers she heared from Wes were coordinates *rolleyes*).

I expect that kind of stupidity from Clark since he's spent most of his life being invulnerable until a Krpytonian dagger stabbed him in "Talisman".

But for Lois to do that while preaching that she's "Lois Lane and lives for battle" just makes her come off like a self absorbed superwoman wanna be (Just my opinion).

Overall, the episode was good and I look forward to S7. :)

Pauline, I agree with your spot-on post. I, also, was a huge Chloe fan & it's been very hard this year to keep being one with the way a lot (notice I use "a lot" not all) of Chloe fans take pot-shots at other fans and their ship preferences.

I do think that the SV-verse should be big enough to hold not just one, but THREE, great female characters. I don't understand why fans of the show would be content with just having one female lead hold the title. I want Lois, Chloe AND Lana to be given their dues and be fully developed. It's not too much to ask. However, it becomes harder and harder to root for Chloe's development when a lot of her fans spew such hatred and venom when time is spent exploring any character that is not Chloe.

Personally, I'm not crazy about the "Chloe is a meteor freak" plot-line. I liked it much better when she was an ace reporter and she didn't know Clark's secret. However, I'm willing to take this ride and see where the show takes us with Chloe next year. I have faith that Allison Mack will take the scripts and knock them out of the park. She'll make it work out, I'm sure. I'm not ready to give up on her, yet.

Same with Lois. There have been a lot of times that I haven't liked how Lois's character evolved -- but now I am getting my return on my investment. Slowly, but surely, the writers are creating a Lois Lane in this story that makes sense to me and I continue to adore. And what's wrong with that? Any fan of the Superman mythos should be happy that this iconic character is getting screen-time and that her character is being fleshed out. It's consistently been one of the hugest complaints that people have about SVLois -- that's she's not an "investigate journalist" and now that she's clearly getting there, people are mad because time is spent on explaining how it happens? I don't get it. Obviously, they can't explain every little detail about her journey (they're supposed to spend that time on Clark) but whatever they have shown us this year has been pretty consistenly well written & I would argue that nothing in "Phantom" was out of the blue when it came to Lois's role.

Personally, I just don't understand why we can't all just get along. Sure, have issues with characters -- but does it have to be all hatred, all the time? Are names really necessary? I'm not that crazy about Lana and Lionel, but I'm never going to spend an hour of my life ranting and raving about them. The same writers are writing all these characters & it makes sense that they'll drop the ball sometimes on one character over the other. They'll make mistakes (the Lexana pregnancy, etc...).

But must we all get into little groups and gang up on specific characters to make ourselves feel better about our own preferences and what we enjoy in the story? How is that a fandom that anyone wants to be a part of or is proud to be a member of? The answer is: it isn't. But even if this (very vocal) small group of fans bombard every message board with their hate and disrespect, I'll rise above it and continue to hope that Chloe gets the development and time that she deserves next year.

-----As I recall, Chloe got the call, Chloe and "Lois" snooped and got caught, "Lois" stripped, Chloe photographed the license plates, "Lois" ran off with a stranger so she wouldn't be arrested, "Lois" got tasered, "Lois" tried to kick some butt, Clark and Chloe saved her butt, Chloe wrote the story.-----

Lois and "Chloe" witnessed the car hit the girl and if "Chloe" got the call why did she not go alone to investigate. Lois was the one who stood up to Maggie Sawyer. Lois stripped because "Chloe" forced her into the situation.Good work by "Chloe" to throw Lois into in an uncomfortable situation when she was trying to help "Chloe" get a story.If "Chloe" want's to be a great reporter then she has to do the dirty work herself not throw your family member into that situation. And by the way Lois did not run off with a stranger. She was forced by the stranger to go with him when she was trying to get arrested. And Lois did take care of the guy before Clark brought down the helicopter. Thus with the help of Lois and Clark "Chloe" got her first byline at the DP.

I liked Chloe until she knew Clark's secret. After that she became the deus ex machina and a convenient plot device. Clark running to her for all his problems made Clark look like an idiot. TPTB got carried away when one of their invented characters was to be added to the mythology but in the process they sacrificed the canon characters. Clark is also supposed to be an ace reporter at the DP. He avoids using his power and tries to use to brain and investigative skills to get to the stories. I loved and it was far more refreshing than he running to the DP when he used his investigative skills in this season.I hope Clark uses his brain in the future to do his own investigations.

And her name is Lois Lane. Maybe she keeps repeating it because people call her Nois, EDLois Not-Lois.

"Nah, she repeats it because it's the only characteristic she possesses that identifies her as iconic Lois Lane.

Btw, just because people refer to "Lois" as Nois, EDLois, etc doesn't mean they are taking jabs at either the fans or the actress. As I recall, neither the fans or the actress are involved in the development of this pathetic imitation of iconic Lois Lane."

No Clarkfan you just proved my theory in your post.... People call her that to A) Insult Lois Lane and B) Insult Erica Durance.

If not then why continue to call her that. Any other name other than her own especially one that has such negative connotations is a jab. Alot of Durance fans and Lois fans take it as such. It's rude and demeaning. Until you can actually find substantial and valid arugments that don't constitute as mud slinging and 7th grade name calling then it will be seen as such.

As always, Chloe fans are always the immature ones. At least the other fandoms respect the others enough to not bash and back themselves up when they do.

I thought the Clark and Lana fans where a bunch of twelve year olds but I guess it's even worse to be Chloe fans -- a bunch of 40 year old prudes with the tactics of 12 year olds.

Chloe's a meteor freak with fat arms, Allison's an actress who hasn't done anything (and won't) that isn't in relation to Superman or cartoons with fat arms.

If you guys can be childish then I guess I can stoop that low as well to bash and not really make a point at all.

Lana and Lois will always win in the end because they actually have some place in the Supes history.

I don't recall the Iconic Lois Lane from the comics growing up in Smallville, going to school with Clark & Lana, giving CLark his first kiss, obsessively jealous of Lana and backstab Clark because he chose Lana over her?
And still after it has been obvious that Clark is in love with Lana, she still is jealous and lusts after....Oh wait, that's Chloe. NOt Iconic Lois Lane.

Lex & Lois weren't originally suspose to be in SV prior Metroplois, so since in this show they are in SV that gives a green light for anything can happen? like have Chloe be the know-it-all, should-be-Lois star of the series?

Chloe should get what she worked hard for? Why? Who says? is it written in stone?

You want to offer the rest of the fandom some concrete evidence why Chloe should get what you claim she so rightfully deserves above everyone else?

Lana has worked hard too - and look what the writers gave her! and CLark?
He's saved people's lives, even died (because of one of Chloe's psycho frineds in episdoe Hidden) and he still hasn't stepped foot onto his destiny, he's still back peddaling - because he needs Chloe's "okay" first? because she likes keping him around as her 'handy-one-man-army-&-resource-collector?'
We have a future Superman who can't think for himself?
If people want to say Lois isn't her iconic self, neither is Clark, Lana and Lex their respective iconic selfs they only bear the names --- all because the show revolves around Chloe who has worked so hard and deserves to get to the top?

Chlark is the weakest ship out there.
Clark was only interested in Chloe like what 2 times in the series?
first was in season 1, the dance with Chloe before the finale - he ran back to Lana to save her from the twister. So Chlark lost its first try.

2nd time, Chloe kisses Clark in Vessel because she fears she'll never see him again?
Iconic Lois Lane would never lose faith in her man.
Chloe was just trying to steal a kiss, she was probably worried that if not about something happening to Clark than she was worried for her own life?
Again Lois Lane is fearless - she wouldn't think 'oh I might die' Lois is not a quitter. She wouldn't doubt herself before even trying.

And what did Chloe do next in episode ZOD? Ditch Clark for Jimmy.
Lois would never ditch her man.
Chloe is not the iconic Lois, sure she works at the DP, is into journalism, but she hardly leaves the desk to investigate in the field - oh no leave Clark & Lois to do the dirty work for her.

Honestly Chloe should of married Lex instead of Lana - Chloe'd make a better Luthor, she's cunning, would kill (Lex in Progeny), backstabs, is secretive, jealous and is a truth seeker, so is Lex. Perfect match.

The times Chole got lucky with Clark has involved either one or both of em infected with Red or green kryptonite mixed with something (Rush, Devoted) and afterwards Clark would still go back to Lana.

Clark & Lois have also been under the influence of Red K (crimson) but not in Hydro and CLark didn't have to kiss Lois back but he did - and he liked it.

And you want to talk about stupid stories?
Lois barndoor story episode was important - it was about Clark's new ability. Episode Sneeze, while Thirst with the vampire twist was just a failed stupid filler episode because the writers wanted to do something Halloweenish (the party) and they had BTVS's Spike on the show at the time.
That episode had no importances to it besides oh lets get Chloe back into the DP - and to grab ratings we'll have Carrie Fisher guest star.
Same for Progeny - lets bring in Wonder Woman.

Ha, who guess starred when Lois came on the show? Margot Kidder - CR's Superman's Lois Lane. that itself is saying something, two Lois Lanes, one passing down the orch to the next generation, much like CR handing it down to TW.
Have you even got the season 4 DVD? there is a doco covering the past Lois Lanes - who in it not Chloe, Lois, Erica's Lois.

And the complaining about an actresses chest?
Well I recall Chole showing alot of clevage in earlier seasons, probably to turn Clark's attention away from Lana, but Clark doesn't look for that in girls. So why do you feel so threatened by Lois or Erica. Oh I know you must of picked up one of Chloe's charming qualities. Jealous right?

You bashed Lana in the beginning and still do, and now you bash Lois.
Because Chloe won't be Clark's past or future lover?

Lois has traveled with her dad around the world, and even Lana went to Paris. Chloe has gone much anywhere (FOS doesn't count because almost everyone has been there, so thats nothing new)
Lana & Lois have more experince in life and have been to places - they'd both write better than Chloe.
Chloe makes alot of movie references so whos to say she doesn't think up her own ideas when she writes.
Lois is good with words, sure some words a made-up (words are always being made-up -its called slang) and they catchy and intriguing if they are bizarre - Lois pulls you into a sory by making it exciting. Reporters dont get good stories, a reporter makes them great!

They didn't have to kill off Chloe. NOOOOOOOOooooo! Lana I think is still alive. I think she has a power of surviving death too many times to remember.

My the hypocrisy is running rampant on this board isn't it? Those of you admonishing the behavior of Chloe supporters are outrageous hypocrites. EVERY LAST SV FANDOM BEHAVES OUTRAGEOUSLY IN THE DEFENSE OF THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTERS. Without exception. Clana and Clois fans are just as obssesive and insulting in expressing their viewpoints. In my opinion, Clana/Lana fans have nothing to be upset over. They get Lana featured on high all the time. Lois fans have every right to be happy to see Lois being developed into something other than a T&A chick. Chloe fans (not Chlois fans)? I think they have every right to be upset if Chloe's character is being overwritten by someone else. Especially someone that's iconic to the myth yet has only been written as comic relief and eye-candy. GET OVER YOURSELVES, THE SHOW IS WHAT IT IS.

I used to be a really big Chloe fan, but I have to admit, her diehard, fanatical fans are just completely turning me off the character. It isn't Allison's fault, she's great. But you guys are freaking out of bounds. Can you tone it down just a notch? It really should be OK for other characters, i.e. Lois, Lana, to also get some decent writing, and some character development. Last time I checked, this wasn't the CHLOE show.

Jesus people, take a breath! There's a character named Chloe, and she's cool. And there's a character named Lois, and she's cool too. And the Smallville universe is big enough for the both of them. No, they won't both be the top reporter at the DP, and end up with Clark. But couldn't other cool stuff happen to Chloe along her journey?

Not that any of that will make a bit of difference, because I'm sure Chloe fans will continue to berate, browbeat, insult, condescend and generally irritate any other fanbase that doesn't happen to believe that this show revolves around Chloe, and the only character worth anything is Chloe, and every single other character, particularly Clark, has to grovel to her or they are worthless. Sigh!

Other than that, Phantom was a pretty subpar episode. I wish one of the "deaths" had seemed more then just a tease to be resolved in episode 7x01. As it was, it was ho-hum.

I also hate Smallville's habit of cramming everything into their last episode. I wish they had kept some of the soap opera stuff as background filler, and concentrated more on building up to this finale. I really think the phantom story and the level 33.1 story was more important then who ends up with Lana Lang. Its a pity the show writers didn't.

The Bizarro stuff was cool, and Welling was great. I'm not sure it makes sense though. And it was good to see the Martian Manhunter again.

I hope season 7 is better then season 6. and I hope that those in charge remember that CLARK KENT should be front and center, and the show should be about him and his journey. Not a guest superhero, not his love interest-present or future, not his best friend and sidekick. Clark Kent!

I'm not really surprised that "Phantom" has been poorly received.
- Clark vs. Bizarro has sorta been done twice already on the show (Visage/Crusad), so it's really not all that new of an idea to see Clark "fight himself".
- The Clark vs. Bizarro fight was kinda lame.
- Chloe "dying" to save Lois? Come on, seriously?
- Lana surving for another season? Too good to be true to have her actually die, wouldn't it?
- Lex going to prison for "murdering" Lana, but not for crimes against humanity? Yawn.
- Lois being hip to geographic coordinates, even though she, admitedly, flunked geography? What?
- I've seen better flying on Heroes.

I'm actually glad the finale script got leaked because we were all better off to be prepared of the mess that we saw onscreen.

I hope S7 can fix a lot of the crap that has been floating around S6 (a.k.a. BizarroWorld) with a Clark who grows out of Lana and regains his heroic nature and consistent characters and storylines that I care about again.

ETA: I meant "Super short review of Season 6 not 7" doh.

Wasn't it mentioned in the same blog was Chloe was the brains and Clark was the brawn in their partnership. She is still shown as the brains in their partnership.That dynamic hasn't changed so I don't get what Chloe fans are complaining about.

Lois Lane getting into journalism is her destiny just like Clark Kent becoming Superman even when he didn't care about losing his powers because all he could think was to have a relationship with Lana which killed Jonathan later, still hangs around Smallville instead of working with the JL to take care of the phantoms and level 33.1, moping around because of Lana's marriage to Lex instead of finding the phantoms(JL have to tell him where they are(combat) and how to take care of Wes (prototype)) and he has the urge to kill Lionel and Lex because of his love life.

This Clark Kent in future also becomes one of the ace reporters at the DP. If at all anything TPTB are sidelining Clark's journalism for the sake of Chloe because she is contact for journalism and DP.

The biggest reality that the Chloe fans always try to evade is the simple fact that Chloe got her first headline for Daily Planet due to Lois and the Lane/Kent team. So in a way, the writers without bringing Lois into Daily Planet showed us that who's the real reporter of the story, it's Lois Lane, not Chloe!

As I recall, Chloe got the call, Chloe and "Lois" snooped and got caught, "Lois" stripped, Chloe photographed the license plates, "Lois" ran off with a stranger so she wouldn't be arrested, "Lois" got tasered, "Lois" tried to kick some butt, Clark and Chloe saved her butt, Chloe wrote the story.

And her name is Lois Lane. Maybe she keeps repeating it because people call her Nois, EDLois Not-Lois.

Nah, she repeats it because it's the only characteristic she possesses that identifies her as iconic Lois Lane.

Btw, just because people refer to "Lois" as Nois, EDLois, etc doesn't mean they are taking jabs at either the fans or the actress. As I recall, neither the fans or the actress are involved in the development of this pathetic imitation of iconic Lois Lane.

Wow is this CWboards or TWOP? Gah I'm so sick of "Lois, Lois Lane, general's daughter" line. Get over it it's not funny to say it over and over again and you're not oh so clever by saying it gah.

And her name is Lois Lane. Maybe she keeps repeating it because people call her Nois, EDLois Not-Lois. (A proverbial thumbing of the noses maybe to some theorists out there *ahem*)

Please there's only one Lois Lane. Or shall we call AMChloe, or Noloe, or PodChloe as I've seen her referred to at times. These are pathetic jabs at Lois and Durance fans that are unwarranted.

Chloisers get a bad rap for the mundane and inane theories that they post (outside of TWOP for instance). I don't care if "All" Chloisers don't believe that Lois will die hence letting Chloe take her name. But when people post that theory and scenario over and over again that's what sticks in our head. And it's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard of.

What's sad is that most Chloisers (from what I've gathered not a sweeping generalization as most of you will say this is) are in their 30's and 40's *Sigh* and yet have no problem bashing Durance saying she looks like she's in her 30's whatever the girl is 29 get over it!

Anyways for the first half of the season the ratings were good because they weren't shipper heavy. They dealt with the ensemble cast which kept everyone happy. That's to me, why the ratings were high. When they started to isolate ships and characters is when the ball was dropped. I guess even CLoisers can't toot our horn at Crimson huh... not allowed. *sigh* whatever.

And as far as Phantom goes, Bizarro was hott!

TW did what he could with the writing. Lana went Boom! (Nice)

Lois managed to head butt a guy with a 7inch knife stuck in her gut. And Chloe's got some interesting tear ducts.

Did I mention Lana went Boom?! Okay it was good for me :)

"Suddenly the writers should steal Lois's dreams and her life and give it to Chloe who shouldn't even exist in the story!"

What a strange attitude it is that "Chloe shouldn't even exist in the story." She's been on "Smallville" since the very first episode. You could easily argue that "Lois" shouldn't exist in the story, since she was a latecomer to the story, and in most versions Clark and Lois never meet till the Daily Planet, but Chloe? Why shouldn't she exist? She's been integral to the story since the very first episode. "Lois," on the other hand, drops in for thirteen episodes a year, and is at best tangential to the plot.

There's nothing strange about writers adding new characters to an established mythos. Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Cat Grant-- all of them were added to the Superman story at a later date. Even the Daily Planet isn't original (it was first called the Daily Star). So what's the problem with Chloe being added to the story? Is it simply that she's always been the show's Real Journalist, while "Lois" spent years drifting aimlessly? Is it that Chloe's been dedicated to journalism since she was nine, with two headlines on the Daily Planet's front page to her credit, and the character who's truly devoted to bringing truth and justice to the people... and thus she makes this incompetent version of "Lois" look really, really bad by comparison?

QUOTE

"Another problem with Chloe's supporters is that they think that Chloe is loved by everyone and she's bigger than the show. That's simply not the case, you guys really need to come out of the delusion that everyone watches the show for Chloe. There are many lovers of Smallville who watch this show for Clark, Lex, Lionel, Lana or Lois or for everyone!

UNQUOTE

I appreciate your analysis...but by saying that "Chloe supporters" think that Chloe is loved by everyone and that we believe she is "bigger than the show" is a rather SWEEPING statement about her fans.

Not all of her "supporters" think this, and one cannot come to this conclusion based on a few posts. There are LOTS of Chloe fans who watch the show for other reasons, like plotlies, mythology, DC characters etc...liking Chloe and liking the WHOLE STORY are not mutually exclusive. Most likely people like me, who are like this, dont even bother to post much or engage in these wars.

No, that's not the case. There were NO restrictions about Lois Lane being at the DP according to the producers. None. They just chose to make Not-Lois a talentless hack whose work is so bad no decent paper would take her. She had to agree to lie and had no problem doing so, just to get in at the tabloid rag, the worst paper in town.

It has always been Chloe who has shown talent and love for journalism and has always wanted to work at the best newspaper in the world, the Daily Planet. Just like Lois Lane in the comics always loved journalism and wanted to work at the DP, following in the footsteps of two of her idols, Nellie Bly (remember her? Chloe's idol in Gine?) and Perry WHite (remember Chloe's words in Perry? You were the kind of reporter I always wanted to be.) so, no, Chloe has done what Iconic Lois Lane always does and Not-Lois can't hold a candle to her. Because she isn't the real Lois Lane of this show; she's a pathetic imitation of her.

Lois Lane is always the best of the best and if she isn't, as Not-Lois clearly isn't then she's not worthy of being Lois Lane.

But Chloe is; she's proven that time and again over the years.

Lois was kept away from her real profession i.e., journalism only because of DC restrictions so all the arguments by Chloe fans are useless. Al Miles would've shown Lois as a journalist from day one and she'd be in Daily Planet by now if it weren't for the restrictions! What would Chloe fans have done then?

By the way, if you watch the show carefully, you would know that when Lois was slated for 4 episodes only, she was shown to have a love for journalism and she wrote for Torch as well. It was only after she was made a regular and DC restrictions were imposed that they stopped her from progressing in that field. However, Lois has always been involved in some type of investigation in most of the episodes that she has appeared in.

While she was not a journalist, Lois was working for a politician and that too was a very respectable job so infact Lois has much more professional experience than Chloe has.

The biggest reality that the Chloe fans always try to evade is the simple fact that Chloe got her first headline for Daily Planet due to Lois and the Lane/Kent team. So in a way, the writers without bringing Lois into Daily Planet showed us that who's the real reporter of the story, it's Lois Lane, not Chloe!

Someone said on here that they should have someone who isn't in their 30s to play Lois?

Tom Welling is a year older than Erica, and they both look damn good for their age.

The whole cast does.

If you can't find nothing to bash about a character - don't sink so low and bash the actor.

Its beyond the line of pathetic. You cant even see the line, its a dot to you!

I feel real sorry for the Lana & CLana fans, the writers have totally destroyed both Lana, Clark, & Clana, which started out so great in the earlier seasons.

They've also managed to ruin Lex. And have given Lois the backseat treatment.

And for what?
You know why they did it?

To get their favourite "Lois/Lana-CLone" Chloe into the comics.
She now has powers (whoopy-freakin-doo) and is the Oracle for the Justice League???

She treats Jimmy like crap.

and Those fans of Chloe/Chlark/Chlois who say they are the 'real' fans of the Superman Mythos? who hate Lana & Lois & Jimmy who are Canon characters???

Who bash & hate the actresses & actors on this show because it doen't live up to their Chloe/Chlark/Chlois theories and fantasaies???

I hardly see the Clana & Clois & Chimmy fans say horrid things about Allison. But you Chlark/Chloe/Chlois "fans" bash Kristin, Aaron & Erica to death.

You lot are a digrace and make turn new SV fans away from discussions.
I've never seen a decent discussion when you lot enter with your claws & fangs out.

Its pathetic to say these horrible things about this talented cast who have to act out this crap. And the cast are the ones who make it bearable to watch.

I love the chemistry between TW & ED, and I love how Lana is taking care of herself, she's not a damsel in distress anymore and doesn't use Clark as a 'one-man-army'.

I love how Lex & Lionel always switch good guy bad guy roles each season - it keeps us on our toes. Who is the worst of the two evils?

Hope to see lots more of Jimmy & Lois next season.

An hopefully Clark will investigate on his own like he did in FREAK episode without the help of Choogle!freak.

Bring the JL back!

Please let's end the war!

Erica/Lois fans want Lois Lane to be the great reporter and Clark Kent's soulmate like she is in the comics right? And Chloe fans want Lois's life for Chloe right? So here is a solution that will make everyone happy:

> Let Lois work on the Wes story. She'll gather all the proof needed, and get her story published in Inquisitor or may be another newspaper. As she exposes Lex Luthor, she gets noticed by a great paper such as DP. Or may be she applies for a job in Daily Planet and begins working as an assistant/junior reporter. Fine?

- Let Chloe be in Daily Planet too. Give her a promotion or something (Don't ask why?) let her work on.. whatever that she's working on these days. Let her do her googling and sidekick work for Clark as well, drop her a couple of bylines in the process. Chloe the reporter right? Fine.

> Let Clark become a journalist too because it's his destiny to be a great reporter (I am sure no one will call that a lightswitch).

> Show Lois/Clark teaming up just like the comics and just like they've been doing in Gone, Krypto, Recruit, Forever, Exposed, Fragile, Reuinion, Hydro, Prototype and all other episodes that Lois/Clark fans love.

> Show Clark Kent falling for Lois Lane just like the comics, just like he's logically and naturally supposed to based on the attraction and chemistry established b/w them in the season 6. Let the fans see the glimpse of the legendary love affair of all times.

> We'll be near the series finale by that time, so Lois after writing many wonderful and worthy bylines for Daily Planet pursues some big & dangerous story.

Now, as we know the iconic Lois is known for her recklessness and so is our Lois, so she dies in pursuit of her big story. Clark tries to save his soulmate but the 70 year old legendary Lois Lane is killed, because in our story, there is a Chloe Sullivan too!

> Enter Chloe. She takes up "Lois Lane" as her pen name, and now all the fame that was associated with Lois's name is hers. (Don't ask how she will explain that to Clark, Lex, Lionel, Lana, Lucy, the General, Martha, their colleagues in DP, Perry White, Lois's readers, etc)

> Clark Kent, who never had any romantic feelings for Chloe will suddenly and instantly, deeply fall in love with Chloe because her pen name is now Lois Lane!

Oh, and Erica Durance who loved Lois Lane since her childhood and has put all her effort to make Lois Lane a wonderful character on Smallville should be humiliated in the process because she deserves it after making us believe that she's Lois Lane!!

Here! Everyone happy? Lois fans got to see Lois as a journalist and in love with Clark just like the iconic Lois, and Chloe fans got what they wanted forever - Lois Lane's life for Chloe! I think it's a great solution. The writers must think about it!

How can people say that EDLois was never into journalism?

Maybe EDLois herself didn't realisze it but the moment she appeared on SV, in Season 4 what was she here for?

HUh?!!

To "investigate" Chloe's death.

And when CLark found out Chloe was still alive, Lois joined him in "INVESTIGATING"

say it with me In-Vest-ig-ating.

So quit whineing about Chloe/Chlois bullcrap.

Chole is Chloe, a great character and addition to the show, and to Lois Lane's family and background.

She offers great support to both Clark & Lois and plays an important key role in their destinies.

Quit complaining that your favourite character isn't gonna end up with the HERO.

Clark aint a hero yet, Lex isn't the greatest Villian yet, and Lois isn't the great reporter yet.

Be satisfied that you fav character Chloe has achieved the most development in the past 6 years of this show, and stop bashing all the others when it's their turn to grow.

I feel that Lana needs some love from the writers too, they've butchered her character brutally since season 3.

And Clark & Lex need to be men and not little boys, the only 'man' I've seen on this show it Jonathon Kent (R.I.P) and Jimmy Olsen!!

Don't let us down Season 7.

And quit bashing the actors/actresses.
You only make you and your side of the fandom pathetic & childish.

- Chloe got fired from the Torch because of her blatant lying (Rogue, rememeber?)

No, she got fired because her Principal thought her stories were lies. They were the truth she just didn't have proof.

It's funny that you even mention something about Chloe lying in her articles for the Torch because just this season Lois has lied in her articles for The Inquisitor.(Wither, Arrow, remember?) So please don't talk about Chloe lying when she has NEVER lied when EDLois has.

- What did she do in the entire S1? Silly wall of the wierd stuff. No serious stories. Do you count that as being a journalist? Sorry, no one does!

Ok you may think her stuff as being silly, but come on. First off, it was THE TRUTH, secondly it's a high school paper. She was 15. Unlike a 23 year old EDLois looking for Chubraca(sp?)or letting her editor put an alien spin on her first story for The Inquisitor. That's what I call silly.

- How does she get into Daily Planet? Oh, a favor from Lionel and just backstabbing Clark, that's all!

Yeah that's true...BACK IN SEASON 3! She paid her dues for that the whole season. In season 5 she got in on her own merits.

- How did she "heroically" found out the truth about Luthors? Oh, that ridiculous Truth episode, and mind you, she didn't refrain from using her power on Clark, Martha, Pete or anyone else. Hello?? Chloe does your friends' privacy and ethics mean nothing to you? I guess not!

Ok first off she had no idea what that gas did when she was talking to Martha and Pete. And the episode already said that the gas made Chloe do things that she doesn't do. She wasn't herself.

- The gwweeaatt reporter's father's life and career was destroyed just because she was jealous of Lana and became a Luthor pawn!!

OK, AND. We know this nobody was denying it or making excuses for it. What does this have to do with Chloe and reporting? Nothing, NADA. Lets move one.

- And here's the real LIGHTSWITCH.. how does this GWWEAAATT journalist get into Daily Planet? A story about vampires that fell into her lap because of Lana Lang.

*snort* How much bull can you type into 1 post? MY WORD! How the hell is Chloe becoming an intern @ the DP a lightswitch? It would be if you know...the character wasn't interested in journalism for...lets just say 2 years, until something fell out of the sky and almost dropped on her ass and had the epiphany to become the best gosh darn journalist EVA!! You know I think I just described EDLois. Alrighty!

Chloe getting into the DP is not a lightswitch, it's just one of the many deserved payoffs of her hard work that we have seen from the very beginning.

- Chloe the ggwweeaatt reporter was a phone operator until Lois Lane and Clark Kent teamed up to give Chloe her first byline.. wow! What a gweeat reporter Chloe.. sorry, but Lois Lane doesn't share bylines Chloe, so you can only dream of becoming Lois, that's all!

WHAT? This must have happend in Offscreensville because I don't remember it going down like that. Chloe was the one to answer the phone call, Chloe was the one to investigate it(EDLois followed her), Chloe was the one to think quick on her feet and say that EDLois was a stripper so they didn't get caught snooping, Chloe was the one to take pictures of the liscene plates, Chloe was the one to figure out where EDLois was because EDLois decided to go off with a stranger so she wouldn't go to jail, and Chloe was the one to write the story. I remember Chloe showing gratitude to EDLois and Clark for helping her. But saying that they gave Chloe her first byline is straight up BULL.

- When Lois steps into journalism, what does our gweeatt reporter tell her "I am jealous of you"

OMG, WTF? Seriously, WTF.

You are taking that line totally out of context. Chloe cleary says after EDLois said she was jealous because she wasn't the only one in the family that has a way with word, and I quote... "I might be jealous but words have NOTHING to do with it."

Chloe was basically saying she's jealous of EDLois' ASSESTS, it has nothing to do with Lois getting into journalism. HELL, Chloe doesn't even think of EDLois as her competition! She even told Clark that. Get your facts straight before coming up with some bogus arguement. PLEASE.

- Lex tries to kill our gwweeaat reporter's mother but that doesn't matter because she does not want to put herself into danger. When Lois puts her life on the line to get to the bottom of things, what does our gweeeattt ambitious reporter advice her "Back off" Oh Chwwooee you're so brave!!

And yet another lie. Chloe told Lex to his fucking face that she would glady risk going to jail to expose the crap that he has done. Did you miss that? Chloe told EDLois to back off because EDLois does not know what she's getting herself into. She even told Jimmy the same thing. Chloe knows how the Luthor's play. She knows better than to go into the lion's den balls out without the information on what she's getting into. Unlike Lois.

From her wall of the wierd Barn door story to her expose about Lex, Lois has grown as a journalist. She didn't make any deals with the Luthors to get into DP. She didn't have Clark Kent to drop stories in her lap. That's a reporter and that's her struggle. She's working for a tabloid yet far more excellent than the gwweeaat reporter Chloe!

How the hell did EDLois struggle. First off the Barn Door of Opportunity fell out of the sky and into the tabloids. You're saying that Chloe gets her stories because of Clark. Well Lois got hers because of Clark, she just didn't know it. And in the span of 2 episodes, "Lois, Lois Lane, daughter of General Sam Lane", gets onto Lex's case because the man Lex was using for his Army so happened to be Lois drunk first kiss. EDLois got lucky, AGAIN, because she's Lois Lane, daughter of General Sam Lane. She got lucky in Combat and got lucky in Prototype. I wonder how many times the PTB are going to pull the army brat card when it comes to EDLois stories. They're 2 for 2 already.

If anyone is sidelined, it's Lois who was never given a chance to shine because we had to endure the GWWEEAAT reporter's vampires and tree articles!

*snort* If you really think so.

It is about time TPTB should stop sacrificing Lois for the sake of their beloved Lois-wannabe aka Chloe the gweeatt reporter! The ratings in the first of S6 were great because there was lots of Lois/Clois/JL, the moment Chloeville came back, the ratings went down the drain.

Chloeville? 2 episodes turns it into Chloeville. Gimmie a break.

The ratings went down because of the train wreck that was Promise.

TPTB need to start actually giving a fuck about good story telling and leave the lightswitches, retcons, and faux babies to soap opera shows.

So please spare us the torturous journey of our gwweeeatt reporter Chloe, that's not what we signed for!

Maybe that's not what YOU signed for. But the so called "Torturous journey of Reporter Chloe" is why many people are still watching. People, not all mind you, want to see her get where she has been destined to go since S1 which is top reporter for the DP.

And MP So much WORD to your post. So much.

Lois already became a journalist whilst Chloe was/is still working for Daily Planet so Lois didn't steal anything from Chloe. However, Clark's journalism was put on hold because of Chloe. So if Chloe gives up on journalism next season, it would be a great favor to Clark not to Lois. Lois is already on her path of becoming a journalist without any crutch.

So Lois Lane being sidelined for Chloe's sake for 3 whole years was not unfair? If Chloe had stolen Lois's name and her life that won't have been unfair? If Chloe had stolen the man Lois Lane is destined to be with, that won't have been unfair? Chloe working in Daily Planet instead of Lois Lane was not unfair?

But poor Lois Lane wants to explore her passion for journalism and wants to expose a guy who killed her friend and suddenly that is unfair to Chloe?

Suddenly the writers should steal Lois's dreams and her life and give it to Chloe who shouldn't even exist in the story!

Chloe was never anything like Lois and she proved it in Phantom. She's not the girl for the Man of Steel because she isn't the daring reporter we all know and love as Lois Lane!

Yes! I think Chloe should no longer be in Daily Planet because she does not belong there. Daily Planet is Lois's place and she should be in that newspaper because she is the one who is writing the real stories and that is how it should be!

Chloe fans want Lois dead because they know Chloe cannot compete with Lois and once Lois gets into DP, Chloe will have no place there because Lois will always write the best stories. They wish death on Lois so Chloe can steal her life and be a lame reporter who cannot write any story without Clark's help.

I hope that the writers kill off Chloe instead so that the pathetic conspirators get the taste of their own medicine.

Chloe's a loser and she never deserved Clark and never will!!

Chloe is still doing the same research for Clark and Clark is taking care of the field work. So how is she getting sidelined for Lois I don't understand because you still have the partnership you had asked for.

No one is getting sidelined for anyone. If anyone loves Chloe as Chloe, they will be happy that her character did not die and she has got a new intriguing arc added to her story. She can use her powers to help her friends, she can become a part of Justice League and a lot more!

However, Chloe's supporters can never be happy in this fandom because they want something for Chloe that was never hers and never will be - someone else's role! They envy Lois because she becomes Clark's life partner, a place that Chloe can not acquire as long as Lois Lane is there. Therefore they endlessly bash Lois and when nothing works, they simply aim their guns towards Erica Durance.

First, it was the debate that they don't accept "this" Lois because she is not a journalist (which by the way is lame because this is a pre-Superman story, you cannot have Lois Lane as a Pulitzer winner reporter already whereas the Clark of this story never showed a tiny bit of interest in being a journalist) now, Lois Lane is progressing as a journalist but she's still being bashed because now it's unfair to Chloe? Wouldn't it have been unfair to Lois if the writers had kept her from journalism so that Chloe could shine? or worst, killed off Lois so that Chloe could be with Clark? No that's not unfair, but Lois becoming a journalist is unfair? This is the most blatant double standard I've ever seen!!

If you just go through one or two posts by Chloe fans, they simply don't make any sense. It's plain bashing, that's all. If Chloe is working on a story, that is plain genius, if Lois is, then it fell into her lap and she doesn't have a brain or she doesn't know how to research etc. Same old arguments, same old bashing lines, same old brainless posts.

If you guys simply use some common sense, you'll know that Lois and Chloe are merely fictional characters written by the same writers. So comparing Chloe and Lois is ridiculous as it is! You cannot claim that "Lois is brainless and Chloe is smart" because there are simply too many incidents where Lois is written much better than Chloe and vice versa. It's the writers' choice and it is in their hands what they want to show and which character they want to focus at the moment.

Another problem with Chloe's supporters is that they think that Chloe is loved by everyone and she's bigger than the show. That's simply not the case, you guys really need to come out of the delusion that everyone watches the show for Chloe. There are many lovers of Smallville who watch this show for Clark, Lex, Lionel, Lana or Lois or for everyone!

Thanks a lot and please stop this bashing spree!

They need a new Lois for Smallville. Someone who can say her lines without turning them into smirks, jitters and ADHD symptoms. This is a show about Smallville characters in their late teens or early adulthood. Don't get someone who looke like she is in her 30's to play Lois. Get it right producers.

Chloe? A great journalist? Please! There can't be a bigger joke! Here are some "highlights" of her GWWEAAT career:

- Chloe got fired from the Torch because of her blatant lying (Rogue, rememeber?)

- What did she do in the entire S1? Silly wall of the wierd stuff. No serious stories. Do you count that as being a journalist? Sorry, no one does!

- How does she get into Daily Planet? Oh, a favor from Lionel and just backstabbing Clark, that's all!

- How did she "heroically" found out the truth about Luthors? Oh, that ridiculous Truth episode, and mind you, she didn't refrain from using her power on Clark, Martha, Pete or anyone else. Hello?? Chloe does your friends' privacy and ethics mean nothing to you? I guess not!

- The gwweeaatt reporter's father's life and career was destroyed just because she was jealous of Lana and became a Luthor pawn!!

- And here's the real LIGHTSWITCH.. how does this GWWEAAATT journalist get into Daily Planet? A story about vampires that fell into her lap because of Lana Lang.

- Chloe the ggwweeaatt reporter was a phone operator until Lois Lane and Clark Kent teamed up to give Chloe her first byline.. wow! What a gweeat reporter Chloe.. sorry, but Lois Lane doesn't share bylines Chloe, so you can only dream of becoming Lois, that's all!

- Her headline about Graham (Fade) about illegal immigrants (Subterranean) all thanks to Clark Kent! Oh boy, where would our gwweaatt journalist be if there was no Clark Kent??

- When Lois steps into journalism, what does our gweeatt reporter tell her "I am jealous of you" Thank you Chloe, Lois never had anything but love for you, she still has.

- The gwweeatt reporter with gweeat principles keeps information from Lois so that she is not able to get her article published. Wow, you sure do know a lot about professional ethics my dear gweeatt reporter Chloe!!

- Lex tries to kill our gwweeaat reporter's mother but that doesn't matter because she does not want to put herself into danger. When Lois puts her life on the line to get to the bottom of things, what does our gweeeattt ambitious reporter advice her "Back off" Oh Chwwooee you're so brave!!

Chloe = The real Nois.

Chloe simply tells us this is what ICONIC LOIS LANE never was and never will be!!

From her wall of the wierd Barn door story to her expose about Lex, Lois has grown as a journalist. She didn't make any deals with the Luthors to get into DP. She didn't have Clark Kent to drop stories in her lap. That's a reporter and that's her struggle. She's working for a tabloid yet far more excellent than the gwweeaat reporter Chloe!

If anyone is sidelined, it's Lois who was never given a chance to shine because we had to endure the GWWEEAAT reporter's vampires and tree articles!

It is about time TPTB should stop sacrificing Lois for the sake of their beloved Lois-wannabe aka Chloe the gweeatt reporter! The ratings in the first of S6 were great because there was lots of Lois/Clois/JL, the moment Chloeville came back, the ratings went down the drain.

So please spare us the torturous journey of our gwweeeatt reporter Chloe, that's not what we signed for!

Sarah and Claire...how do you read this stuff????..huh...all I can do is skim, and its the exact same thing all the time: Chloe vs Lois.. *sigh*

and not only that, but it seems that fans have to bring in Allisons "pathetic display of clevage" as one poster put it, or something with ED's looks.

WHAT THE HELL DID ANY OF THESE WOMEN DO TO US??? NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

They work with the crap that the Goughlar gives them!...so please, let us have some CLASS and COMMON DECENCY to our arguments and keep KK, AM and ED out of the fan wars...stick with Chloe, Lana and Lois.

Oh, and this is for you guys Sarah and Claire: why dont you ask Dawn Ostroff (sp?) to go to Al/Miles and have them all sit and read these posts..get a sense for how fans feel because I think the Goughlar is out of touch. And I am serious about this.

Heck, you have my FULL PERMISSION to put this message to Al in a lovely envelope and send it to him...cause he needs a clue.

I dont know if TPTB think these wars are cute and exciting because fans are getting all hyped up about their show: but THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT AL/MILES!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's analyze the problem...and i'll take it from both sides so as to represent everyone...or at least the major parties involved:

Basically, Al..you wrote yourself into a BIG HOLE when you brought Lois Lane into SV and decided to wait 2 years for her to get into journalism. I will say with confidence that you and your team had ABSOLUTELY NO FORESIGHT that these wars would happen...and frankly, anyone with remote common sense could have foreseen it.

Perhaps what would have been better was for you to, at the end of season 3, into season 4, gradually shift the reporter status from Lois to Chloe seeing as that was your intention all along. Of course, alot of ppl would NOT have liked that, but it would have made more sense than waiting for YEARS, having fans become more "invested" as you say, in Chloe's journey into the DP and taking down Lex Luthor..and then pulling the rug out from under her fans at this late stage in the game.

How could you even THINK FOR A SECOND that your logic is sensible when you say in an interview that you "wait for the fans to be invested" in the character, and her dreams, ambitions etc, before you pull a whammie and not have it as a "cheap trick".

News flash for you Al: IT IS A CHEAP TRICK AND THE FANS SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU!!!!!!!!

Which story teller, in their right mind, not smoking weed, thinks it is best to wait until the audience is invested before doing a 180 degree change??????...and your timing could not have been more convenient too...so please, have some respect for the fans and come right out and say what you are really doing.

So the result of your mess??? BOTH GROUPS OF FANS FEELING FRUSTRATED!...AND BOTH HAVE A RIGHT TO...for different reason...and the result of this: lashing out at the "opposing" character.

So let's see...why are Lois fans frustrated?

1) they had to wait for years for Lois to get into journalism

2)all the hate from other fandoms..

3) having to continuously defend their fav character to other angry fandoms because it is already written in years of comics etc that this is what Lois gets..etc

all valid points.

Now, why are Chloe fans frustrated? (there are some similar points..)

1) hate from other fandoms

2) having to continuously defend the "right" and "purpose" of their fav character because the argument is that she is not in the mythos, so she is...nothing much. And let's face it, that's what the general consensus is: she's not in the mythos- she's not important.

3)watching SV develop Chloe's love for journalism for 5+ YEARS, seeing her mistrust of Lex develop along with Clark's, and the friendship dwindle for YEARS, providing her with valid reasons to take down Lex, many of which are quite personal, and then you do a switcheroo and not plan on following through with any of that. Instead, you find a convenient way to move her out of all the things that fans have known her to be for years.

And yes, we dont know how season 7 will play out, and this is still speculation. But all fans can go on is APPEARANCE of what you will do. and it APPEARS that this is what you are going to do.

So Mr. Miles and Mr. Millar, you wonder why this is such a problem???

Well, it is obvious where you are going with Lois, because the mythos is already written, and you seem to want to follow it. And for the sake of Lois fans, who waited for 2 seasons to see her get into journalism and see her become the Lois they all "know and love", I can understand their happiness at the direction of the show...they are fans and they should be happy that some good is coming to their fav fan. It is valid

But what about Chloe and her fans Al??? What about the Chloe they "know and love"? What happened to the Chloe who was not afraid of battling the Luthors and did it in the past? Why do you feel the need to change one character to make way for others?....here is some advice: dont change her into someone her fans no longer recognize?...and you are dangerously close.

Can I explain to you what you have been portraying to them for six years?...Let me clarify it for you. For six years, you have subtly, and not so subtly told Chloe and her fans that:

-Chloe is neither exotic nor hot. Apparently she is not attractive enough to have the attention of males...even further, apparently not superheroes in the making either: not Clark, not Ollie, not AC...no one. I guess she just doesnt have the pheromones for it huh? And then after YEARS of this, you say: "OK, well, let's just give her Jimmy Olsen"..the resident geek of the superhero world.

Because of course, if a woman is too smart for her own good, you have to do something to bring her down right???

-you've also just told her fans that despite all the YEARS of buildup and pounding into fans' heads that being a top reporter at the DP, editor in chief, and Pulitzer prize winner..all of this will be shot down because of your bad writing. Now, a counter argument is that, in life, dreams, ambition etc change. That is true. However, this is not real life. This is a 6 year long story. And in a story, characters and plots develop consistently over the course of the story, and dont change at the 99th hour.

For example:
What if you develop Lois into her reporter role in season 6 and 7, and then in season 8, she suddenly decides that she no longer wants to do journalism. Instead she wants to run her own business?

What if, at the end of season 8, Clark decides that he no longer wants to help ppl. Instead he wants to join forces with Lex..and they both decide to become car salesmen?

Absurd isn't it? But fans of these respective characters WOULD be upset at the switcheroo after these years of buildup. So why wouldnt Chloe fans be upset?? Why? Because she's not in the mythos?..so you could do whatever you want with her story? No, Al. as you can see, for the fans, that excuse doesnt work. Which brings me to my next point...

-you tell her fans that because she isn't originally in the mythos, then it's ok to do a switcheroo because there is no DC to answer to.

so when you take away her dreams etc...what do you leave her with?...what do you leave the fans with? I suppose you think that this new meteor freak power will be the new "gift" to the Chloe fans, since years of buildup will be brought down. My advice to you, is that you have to SELL IT LIKE HELL because all it screams right now is RETCON WRAPPED IN A PRETTY PACKAGE...HOPEFULLY PERCEIVED AS A GIFT.

-you also tell fans that she will be the cheerleader for everyone else into their destiny...but what happens to her destiny?..the one that you alluded to for years? Nada. Who encourages her in her destiny? Nada. And i'm not saying Chloe is Lois. I'm saying that you had the opportunity to rectify this situation in earlier season, and YET, just in Progeny, you tell the fans AGAIN that journailsm has been in her blood since she was a wee tidbit...when you could have shown them on their way to Grandma instead, as was a rumoured scene. These kinds of things fuel the fire, when you show one thing and do something else. And if she gets NO story, NO Pulitzer, NO life at the DP, NONE of her dreams that she worked at for years, then you are surprised at the anger??????

It's like pulling the rug out from under her fans again and again. Even though she is not a mythos character, her fans need to be respected too...and their concerns are valid as well.

Why dont you come right out and say you dont know how to write two reporters, and now you are trying to clean up your mess?..perhaps you will gain some of your credibility and respect back from some fans instead of doing roundabouts with them.

Fans should not have to pay for your shoddy writing skills. You owe it to your fans of both Chloe and Lois, to keep them true to their nature and work your asses off to develop them both. You know Lois is Lois is Lois, but yet, you gave Chloe the dreams and aspirations of comicbook! Lois...and you continued it for years and years...getting fans more and more invested. You owe it to the fans who have made your show what it is now, given you possibly 8 years to work with, and stuck with you through some serious shit, to get BOTH GIRLS ON TRACK. I dont know how the heck you plan on doing it, and i dont give a hoot. That;s your job, not mine....i dunno, maybe you could have a kick ass Chlo-Lo investigative team or something?

Come off your high horses and see what you have created! Do you read the posts of your fans? do you see how much hate is going around??? these arguments are not healthy or constructive, they are downright demeaning to both characters, and ESPECIALLY to the women who play them... who put all their heart and soul into the shit you give them to do.

There is so much hate that ppl dont even believe the Chlo-Lo love anymore!!!! So much hate that Allison and Erica are continuously being brought into this crap. For someone who likes both characters, it is very hard to enjoy this show, when this hate FROM BOTH SIDES is all you get. No fandom is without blame in it, yet both fandoms have a right to be upset.

But hear this: not because i like both characters means I appreciate your attempts to change one's actions, philosophies etc and make her unrecognizable to fans..'unrecognizable' meaning destroying/changing things at the core of that character.....if that is what you intend to do.

Step up to the plate, and get your characters on track. You can stick to the mythos and still stay true to characters you spent six years developing. All you have to do is work harder,and not take the easy way out and hope that fans will shut up about it.

This is YOUR show, Al. This is YOUR mess. FIX IT.

I did post in the blog long before that after Chloe knew about Clark's secrets she is being used too much for plot advancements or showing her time in DP for doing research for Clark and Clark takes care of the field work. I had complained that she was not getting out there and getting the stories like she used to when she worked for the Torch. But some of the Chloe fans shot me down saying that was partnership and they both are fighting for Justice together. Chloe is still doing the same research for Clark and Clark is taking care of the field work. So how is she getting sidelined for Lois I don't understand because you still have the partnership you had asked for.

Comments on Phantom:

- Not as good as Prototype, but still, enjoyable.

- Loved Bizarro.. "I'm you. Just a little more Bizarre," Seemed liked TW was really enjoying it. Ah, he enjoys everything but the mopey Clark.

- LOVVVEEDD Lionel Luthor. He's the best character on this show, totally unpredictable, funny, interesting, cunning, smart and he's still channeling Jor-El too. I love it!

- Erica Durance was tremendous as usual. "Longitudes and Latitudes, no duh!" I loved how she didn't back down from her story, like adviced by her *ahem* *ambitious* cousin!

The whole getting into the dam thing was not Lois's style, we know she would have kept a weapon or something, but DUH! That was the only way for Chloe to show her tears and "love" for her cousin!

- Chloe's power was lame. They should've given her something that would help her in her JLA sidekick duties like hacking. That would have been natural. Anyways, I think that was stupid but too late to change. So Chloe will always keep a bottle of glycerine from now on?

Oh and please stop showing the "Chloe jealous over Clana" scenes. They are too ridiculous. I mean come on! Didn't Chloe say that she moved on from Clark? She has a boyfriend for heaven's sake, Jimmy Olsen anyone? Why IS she jealous of Lana now?

- Lex was okay, not great. Nothing worth commenting but that slap.. ouch.. you're pathetic Lex!

- No comments on Lana.

- We can actually mute our TV sets and lipsync Clana convos now. "I will always love you" "You are the same Clark to me" "We can be together" "I will save you" "you can't help me" *sigh* Someone bring more Lois please!!

When Clark said "I am from Krypton say something" I laughed out loud. I really did.

- The SFX in the dam scene were greeattt.. Truly.

- I hope Annette will appear in at least half episodes next season?? Please! :(

Anyway, it was a good finale. I loved Bizarro, Lois and Lionel.

S7 should have Erica in all episodes, more Lois bylines, Lois/Jimmy teaming up, Clark becoming a journalist and an active part of JL, lots of Clois kisses and lots of unpredictable Lionel.. oh and evil Lex and a Lexois fight!

Thanks, peace to all!

Its funny to see Chloe fans acting like 5 year olds once again. They want candy or else they'll cry and make life hell for every body!

I really, really think that you people should like Chloe as Chloe and sit back and watch what direction TPTB are taking with her. Her fate is in TPTB's hands and you don't even know if she ends up being a journalist or not, so these Chloe/Lois comparisons might prove to be nothing in the end!

It's just too ridiculous to think that fans of a TV show demand a popular comic book character to be killed off, and not just that, her name and her life should be stolen and given to another character so she can be with the hero. That's simply.. retarded! And obviously, when the producers of the show don't comply, you come up with these hate posts!

Grow up people. Smallville is as much Lois's fans show as it is Chloe's fans, why should we be robbed off of our favorite character for your sake?

Chloe isn't the only character on the show. Al & Miles are committed to all their actors/characters & their fans. They can't simply ignore all the rest of the characters/actors and make only one character shine.

Erica/Lois is an essential part of this show/story. She can't be ignored and sidelined and have her role given to someone else. Fans have been waiting for too long for Erica to be given an opportunity to shine, for Lois to do the work she's born to do - journalism! Why should they be deprived of seeing this moment, I don't understand.

As the story gradually moves towards Clark's destiny, obviously, Lana and Chloe's importance will reduce in his life, Lois Lane will take the role of his lover, confidante, best friend and partner. Lana, Chloe, Lori, Diana, X and Y cannot just change their name to Lois Lane and become that woman! So stop humiliating yourselves and Chloe.

Erica Durance has done a great job. She joined the cast only in S4 and has done a tremendous job and earned herself a huge fandom. She deserves to be praised and loved for that. Please put your petty theories aside and acknowledge the actors for what they do to bring the show to us.

Also, please stop bashing Al & Miles just because they are not running the show the way you want to. There won't be any Chloe or any Smallville without them.

Lois Lane has been wonderful this season. I love the fact that she is all alone in her war. She has no super power friend or truth serums to help her get the clues and collect proof. Even the General has refused to help her but she's doing all the research, all the data collection and deserves to get this byline.

I can't wait to see what her big arc in S7 is, and I am sure it has to do with journalism and her relationship with Clark!

I love Smallville, love Erica Durance, love Lois Lane!

If EDLois can only excell over the sidelining or death of another obviously better character then she doesn't deserve to be Lois Lane. We have known Chloe for six years, we care about her because we've watched her grow in an organic fashion and she is the real reporter on this show. EDlois is a pathetic imitation who hated journalism until she was lightswitched into it with a stupid barn door and she continues to steal or bumble into any real info she gets. I think it's outrageous that anyone thinks EDLois could ever be the real thing when she is so bad at what she does, she has to climb over the back of her own hurt/dead cousin to get to the top. That's not Iconic Lois Lane in any way.

But Chloe isn't dead. Poll after poll have shown Chloe is by far a fan favorite and neither Lana nor Not-Lois have ever surpassed her in popularity. It's obvious that the writers had painted themselves into a corner (to borrow the sentiments of a smart lady) and were toying with a last minute change in Chloe's character for some bizarre reason. Now that is another instance of lightswitching since we never had any hint that Chloe was meteor infected. Chloe isn't a superior journalist or writer or even computer whiz because of her meteor ability as some have said; she's just better than most because her passion is for journalism and truth and helping peole through them. Just like Nois suddenly shouting Journalism is her calling when she dissed it and refused to explore it for years despite encouragement by Clark and Chloe both, it's bad writing to suddenly spring something out of the blue like Chloe having a meteor induced ability with no lead in whatsoever nor any reason for it. But it doesn't matter in the long run because Chloe is a reporter who searches for truth and justice at Clark's side just as the real Lois Lane has always done; she doesn't write crap so she can keep her pathetic job at the tabloid rag and get her all important paycheck.

Clark and Chloe sitting across from one another said it plainly. Here are Lois and Clark.

People who think it's okay to steal and bumble your way into stories and lie willingly for a tabloid just because your name happens to be Lois Lane continue to amaze me. Because if there is one thing Iconic Lois Lane has always stood for it's the truth and using the truth to help others. And Iconic Lois Lane is already doing honest work at the Daily Planet not making up crap for a tabloid rag. The real Lois Lane just happens to go by a different name right now just as Clark Kent, born Kal-El of Krypton is currently known as Clark Kent of Earth and has not yet assumed the moniker for which he will once day be famous thoughout the galaxy. It's what you do and what is in your heat that's important and Chloe has the true spirit of Iconic Lois Lane in her heart.

The girl who currently has the name of Lois is merely a caricature, an imitation. If she were supposed to be the real thing then she would unquestionable be the worst Lois Lane ever. But she isn't and no amount of back pedaling by those who were scandalized and angry when Chloe said her cousin had no interest in journalism back in Delete, or who continually making excusess for her and trying to convince themselves "Lois" can get away with anything that would be wrong if someone else did it, because her name excuses her from having to meet the same high standards to which others, like Chloe, must, will change that. Lois Lane has always met the high standards and been the best of the best. Lois Lane is the human match for Superman because of that. This "Lois Lane" can't even come close. But Chloe has shown herself to be Clark's equal and perfect complement. EDLois is not different and no better than she was when we first met her. And that is just not good enough.

How mature is blame Lois for the low ratings of protoytype, or it was Promise or it was Lois on Prototype??? make up ypur mind people.

You just grab the first thing to justify "low ratings" if it is "Progeny" it was because of Promise not beacuse of Chloe no way, if it is Prototye is automaticly because of Lois???

"Progeny" reasons,

* Comes after an Hiatus
* Not because it was heavy Chloe and she was showed "kicking asses" and aiming at Lex a gun
* Comes after the "aweful" Promise,
* Not because it was heavy Chloe and she was showed "kicking asses" and aiming at Lex a gun AND Woder Woman was guest starring.
* was prempted??

Anyway any reason is good for the lausy ratings of progeny except that Chloe was OPENLY promoted in the trailers so the viewr knew it was a CHLOE heavy episode. But God forbbid if somone dare to say that it was Chloe's fult. SACRILAGE!!!!!!! Never in this life....all the universe conspired againts that episode...Chloe has nothing to do with

Now lets move to Prototype shall we??

"Prototype":

* Comes AFTER a free falling ratings drops
* but hey lets blame Lois
* The trailer ONLY showed Lex developing the Prototype and Clark saying that he couldn't beat the prototype
* but hey LETS blame Lois
* Lois was showed in the trailer like 0.5 seg
* but HET LETS BLAME LOIS

LOIS LANE THE CAUSE OF WAR, GLOBAL WARMING AND THE FREE FALLING RATINGS DROPS!!!! (funny Nemesis, and Progeny ratings were blame because of Promise)

So EVERY poor ratings of the episodes before Prototype are Promise's foult but Prototype doesn't deserve that reason cause it was Lois heavy one and you only knew it was a lois heavy one when you turned to watch the episode.

Give me a break and be objective people...ratings are not baswed on a single character focus (BTW I am not blaming Chloe for Progeny I am only showing the poimnt that Chloe can't do no wrong and her storyline are a god gft from heaven).

I stick to my theory that you are grabbing anything to bash Lois......

I rest my case

I have said this before. Chloe is not sidelined for Lois. She was already getting sidelined from her career goal when she knew about Clark. In season 5 most of the DP scenes were Chloe doing research for Clark or counselling Clark about his relationship with Lana instead of going out and getting the stories.
Now Chloe is jealous of Lana knowing the secret and Lana did see a file about Clark Kent. I am wondering if Lana comes back alive if she will tell Clark about it and what will Clark's reaction be. Because he deleted all GA files from her PC so she will not investigate GA.

This episode was Duh when compared to Commencement or Vessel.

Good
- MM return but under utilized
- Bizzaro Clark
- Lois figuring out the co-ordinates
- Lana in on Clark's secret
- Lex's continuing path into becoming evil

Bad
- Martha going to DC.
- Clark trying to kill Lionel and Lex for Lana
- Lana being Clark's priority rather than the phantom
- Clark researching at the DP. DP is a reputable paper but Clark has a 24/7 pass to go in there and use their system
- Chloe jealous that Lana knows Clark's secret. Has already happened.
- Lois getting stabbed to reveal Chloe's powers. It had the Beauty and the Beast effect
- Lex slapping Lana

Better focus on Clark and his destiny in Season 7 instead of focussing on the supporting characters.

I think it says a lot if people are happy with Chloe being sidelined in order for EDLois to be what she's supposed to be. It says one thing. Chloe already is what Lois should be, and isn't. If Smallville had done this right in the first place, both girls could co-exist quite well in this universe. As it is, according to the logic of some, the ONLY way Lois can be THE Lois Lane, is if Chloe is not around. Interesting.

when can i see this episode again, missed it due to a church function.

How can anyone honestly believe that sidelining Chloe and throwing over 6 seasons of back story is genius story telling?

My guess is that they don't actually read the comics. In the comics, Lois Lane works for years up the ladder of the Daily Planet; devoted to it and the truth. It's not about personal gain, it's not about barn doors. She prints the truth - no matter how much it costs her.

Chloe's paralleled to Lex Luthor and Clark Kent in terms of plotlines, destiny mentions, character growth, and the idea that they 'are who they are.' She's the reporter, she's the confidant, she's the equal, she's the truth seeker in this story.

The more Nois is shoved into Chloe's role, the more this is proven and reproven to the audience who has actually watched the full series.

Wow! Do some people not pay attention to detail or what? We *just saw* that Chloe's been a reporter since she was eight, and we've seen her journey up the DP three time now. On the other hand we have her 23 year old cousin who thinks barn doors and picking trash = valid journalism.

Not a fan of Chloe's cousin copying everything Chloe wants/works for. Sorry. It was gross three years ago. It's grosser now.

And prior posters are right - the fact that episodes all about Erica Durance continually loose points and sink to be the lowest rated episodes in the series says the most. People are tired of Clark and Chloe's characterizations being assassinated. Can't blame them. Hopefully the writers will get it. :)

Isntead of seeing a bright side you are all complaing about it

Hmm. EDLo Single White Female-ing her cousin. Please explain why this is positive again?

I think it's quite telling that shoving Chloe out of her natural role on the show for six years caused a series low for the ratings. Whether certain people like it or not, Chloe is the reporter of the story and in Smallville, she came first. And ratings, going back to s4, show that if it comes to marginalizing her for a character and actress which lack in comparison - then they aren't going to watch. People don't want to downgrade, and frankly I don't blame them.

It's great to see that having an opinion is once again derided at the cwblog though.

For the love of God kill Chloe already with this kind of fans I wished I was dead too

RESEARCH(Nois doesn't know that is a research)

*********************

You know, sometimes I think people DON'T WANT TO SEE THINGS really, now that is just wrong, how can you honestly say Lois doesn't know how to reserch?? I mean, I think people just like to bash Lois and don't even know what a hell they are saying.

I am not a Clois shipper I am not a Clana a Chalrk a Chlois or wahtever stupid ship/theory this show has, but the one thing I can say from the neutral side is that the Chlarkers that believe in Chlois are the most BASHING fandomm ever, they CAN'T really give an argument or show disconfort without bringing down/insulting a character.

I always thought Clana shippers were a buch a 12 year girls (sorry but I did now I don't I think they have their point) but don't worry Now the Chloisers have earn that place, no wait they act like 5 year old that when things don't go the way thay want they start whining and bashing and insulting, no wonder there is one thing called KARMA, you only get what you give, and then you have the guts to tell "Clana fans insults Chloe, Clois fans bash Chloe...all the fandom insult chloe...we are the "sane" ones" Pwwwllleeeeaaseeee you are all a buch of hypocrites.

Really those types of comments do0't give a good fame to your cause (if you have one cuase last time I heard Lois Lane doesn't have meteor poewr, but who I am to express my opinion)

I know I am going to be insulted etc etc..but suck it up and grow up, and take the good things that could probably be happening to chloe now and let the otherss character grow.

Isntead of seeing a bright side you are all complaing about it...Are you really Chloe fans??? cause it doesn't seem like it I must say, the minute that a new ingridient for her unknown story is added you allenter in panic an start throwing knives to all the charactercuase the things are not going the way YOU wanted.

u guys should have clark and lois moments in the next season please
i hate lana bacause clark doesnt act like superman when he is with her
chloe----i will miss you=(

How can anyone honestly believe that sidelining Chloe and throwing over 6 seasons of back story is genius story telling? Since season 4, the show's writers have presented the viewer with a passionate but incompetent individual with EDLois. Her life's story has been characterized as lacking talent or direction. What evidence have we been shown that she possesses one shred of real journalistic skill or insight?...if there's evidence, somebody please point it out and quickly.

Chloe slid out of the womb with a nose for reporting, and this is essentially an established point of fact since this show began going back to the Pilot episode. Chlark has been given the greater degree of relationship development since the beginning of the show, and Chloe's nose for news has been one of the few defining characteristics of her character.

EDLois came stumbling into Smallville virtually homeless, penniless, unskilled, without a friend and without direction,...and, so now we're supposed to believe that one barn door, a dead former boyfriend and a stab wound later that she's capable of landing a front page story at the Daily Planet? That's absurd on it's face.

For everyone who thinks character regression, endless Clana and the lightswitching of EDLois is good television, let's just hope that the writers get back to work placing this show back on track and back on schedule for next season. Chloe Sullivan is ILL because the show's writers have written her that way since the start....why would any viewer take pleasure in watching such a brilliant character as Chloe ripped apart and her life story changed for the sake of advancing a previously untalented and bumbling individual like EDLois?...and moreover, how could anyone enjoy watching her character burdened with such a lame and useless power as a deadly tear that could take her life in a moment of time?

Wouldn't the viewers far prefer seeing the true leading lady of this show realize her dreams, get her dream man, defeat the villian and come out on top?....that's how Chloe should finish this series.

"Clark and Lana also have being fighting for six years to be able to be together, but they are not meant to be a nothing can change that. Why are Chloe's dreams the only ones that cannot break?. Why must we change 70 years of history for her dreams?"

The show's given pretty valid (in my opinion) reasons why Clark and Lana shouldn't be together. It never fails with those two. No matter what season or what's going they never trust each other when they need too and they acknowledge this on-screen constantly. Clark hasn't been fighting anything aside from his inability to get past a pretty minor trust hangup. Well actually he's been fighting my patience but that's another story. It's a little different situation than seeing Chloe who's been struggling for years to make it professionally get surpassed by a character doing 1/4 of the work.

Also, 70 years of history doesn't "change" because someone does something new. History by definition can't "change" once the second hand slips by a moment. From the moment it happens history is immutable and only changeable through interpretation. If Smallville did something different with Chloe/Chlois Al and Miles won't be coming to your house to burn your comics books and action figures nor will you forget anything in Superman's past incarnations. Neither would Bryan Singer all of a sudden re-release Superman Returns with a Chlois twist or incorporate it into the second movie. Everything you love about the character isn't going to all of a sudden evaporate.

That's just silly thinking.

Superman has a bunch of different interpretations and SV would just be another interpretation and not a re-invention of the wheel. I doubt it's even something that would carry over to new comic or film versions because it only really works once. Not to even mention that Lois being in Smallville in the first place and Clark sleeping with Lana in unprecedented in the 70 year history as well so what's the big deal? If nothing can change then what's the point of telling new versions...you could just watch the last one and get the same story.

Ahem, sorry back on topic with my summary of Season 7. Lets see:

Clark, Lex, and Chloe's character's all basically sacrificed on the alter of Lana for who knows what reason this year. I'm not even a ratings analyst and I can spot the downslide in every season past 3 when the Clana comes back with no resolution. Why is it so hard for paid professionals to spot a downward trend when mopey Clana comes back to the forefront of an arc?

Super short review: First Season that I won't own on DVD.

Here is to hoping that S7 can be better than what we got this year. I'll always come back for good stories.

Quote: ETA: But some people seems to think that if she won´t become Daily Planet´s top reporter it´s an insult to her character

It is when we have been shown that her dream was to be the DP's top reporter for 5+ years. IT'S HER DESTINY! Destinys don't change when it comes to Smallville. If Chloe does not get the pay off she deserves, it's an insult to the character and her fans who want to she her hard work pay off.
____________________________

Then, as i said, Lana would be Clark´s destiny, she is all that matters to him in Smallville. As much as Clana sucks it´s Clark´s dream since he was a child. Get away from her is "the hardest thing that he had had to do in his life" (yes, the same guy who lose his father the last year because of he chose to save Lana). Just because Chloe wanted to be Daily planet´s top reporter since she was a almost a baby, it don´t means that she would be someday. If you asked me, she made her choise the day that she become Clark´s sidekick. That day was the day when she lose her dream, because since that moment she thinks that to help Clark is more important that her job, like Linda Lake told her.

"Lois gets into journalism. But apparently she did it the wrong way. Yes, well I guess barn doors really don't make as interesting article material as vampires do."

You forget that this Vampire storie was a disease. Did you watch closely? Even Kahn says that Vampire stories are for The Inquisitor but then Chloe proves to her that it was a disease, so it's something important, she shows Kahn her RESEARCH(Nois doesn't know that is a research) about the disease.

This has got to be the worse finale to date. Wow it was...not good. at all.

Chloe's power sucks! Now if the next season does what I fear it will do, then that just shows how lazy the writers are regarding Lois, Lois Lane, daughter of General Sam Lane.

Clark told Lana his secret finally!! But boy was it anti-climatic. Not nearly as good as his reveal to Chloe.

Bizarro Clark is sexy.

The Chlark shot with both of them working on different computers was awesome!

Chloe telling Lois to back off the story well @ first I was like WTF? Then it could be because Lois has no idea what she's getting herself into. Unlike Chloe who's house got blown up but still manage to put Lionel behind bars at 17.

Lex slapped Lana!! Not that I condone domestic violence, but this is Lana and I don't care about her so Lex slap away.

Lana got blown up! YAY!! But Lana got into the conviently positioned mail truck! BOO BOO *hiss* How freaking obvious was that one! I guess it could go either way. If KK does stay for a certain of episodes they won't pull something out of they asses again like they did with Chloe and the Underground Railroad story, when that house blew up right after Chloe closed the door. Anyways, getting off track.

Lionel, WTF happened to my Magnificent Bastard?!?! I want you back MB!! I.WANT. YOU. BACK!!

The Healing Gray Tear of Suck. What can I say? The name says it all. The scene was so bad. So so so so bad. No matter how good AM was acting NOTHING could save that shit. NADA!

I still don't think Lex faked Lana being preggers. I refuse. His not that pathetic. Right? RIGHT?!

Well we are dealing with the Pink Peep (you know the same one who outsmarted BOTH Luthors*rolls eyes*)and we know she makes everyone dumber. Example: PROMISE!

Lois, Lois Lane, daughter of Sam Lane. I could have sworn you fail Geography.

Whatever, Bad finale to end a HORRIBLE season. Buh bye Smallville. Until I read some spoilers that are worth coming back, I'm done.

ETA: But some people seems to think that if she won´t become Daily Planet´s top reporter it´s an insult to her character

It is when we have been shown that her dream was to be the DP's top reporter for 5+ years. IT'S HER DESTINY! Destinys don't change when it comes to Smallville. If Chloe does not get the pay off she deserves, it's an insult to the character and her fans who want to she her hard work pay off.

Frankly, if there was a contest between Clark and Lex for President tomorrow - I'd vote for Lex.
Clark a hero? That's just a joke, he's a hypocrite and Lana grates on my every last nerve. This show is fading badly.

This episode was complete crap. The entire second half of the season from Promise onwards destroyed any hope I have for Clark being the hero I've known from the comics and the movies. Lana has reduced him to a pathetic and laughable character. Sadly, she's done the same to both Luthors as well.

This horrible episode was accompanied by more lightswitches for Temp Lois at Chloe's expense. The writers are proving that EDLois basically has to absorb/become Chloe in order to be successful at being a journalist. She has no passion other than a paycheck and now a contrived, ridiculous first-kiss subplot when compared to the emotional depth of Chloe's reason in Moira. What's next? Will EDLois discover someone else she's kissed being experiemented on by Lex? How convienent for her. What absolutely disgusting, contrived writing at Chloe's expense for this sad joke that is EDLois. The show is confirming they've stuffed up with EDLois and her becoming/absorbing Chloe is the only way for her to succeed at anything.

Worst of all in this episode was Chloe being saddled with the *lamest*, most stupidest power ever to get her away from the DP. This is accompanied by the most boring relationship (next to Clana) on this show in Chimmy. What an utter waste of a season 6 was and now I have no hope that season 7 won't be the same - utter trash thanks to the plot contrivances for Clana and EDLois.

I am old enough to be familiar with the comics, and one of the consistent things about Supes, either in his tights or his reporter glasses, is he is someone we can respect and admire. Like another poster said somewhere in the thread, the JL calls him "Boyscout" for a reason.

I want to respect and admire SV's incarnation of Clark, but I'm just having trouble doing it. Sure, he needs to grow into Superman, but by his age, shouldn't most of his beliefs and behaviors be shining through? He's not a child any more, he's between teen and adult. I just wish we'd see more of his adult side. Making out with married women? No. Coming a hair from killing people over the same married woman, who has been shown by SV's writers this season to be quite manipulative? No, thanks. Like I said, I want to respect and admire the man Clark is becoming, but SV's version is weak, whiny, judgmental and blind.

I want to respect and admire SV's incarnation of Lois Lane, but I'm having even more trouble doing that. Iconic Lois Lane -- crusader, feminist, intelligent woman who is capable of, I don't know, getting a college degree? Someone who's not written as a T&A joke who lightswitches into "journalism" because of a barn door, yet without the integrity and desire for truth -- with proof. With SV's Lois, she's not interested until it's personal. It's not that she's a despicable character on SV, but she's no Lois Lane. She, like Clark, has had years to begin growing into her canon role, and the progress she's made has been abrupt and without sufficient foundation.

I want to be thrilled and horrified by Lex Luthor, criminal mastermind. While I enjoy the morally grey aspects of his character--complex villains are the best kind--I don't want him to be the inconsistent idiot SV has shown him to be. Most of all, I *do not* want the greatest hero and greatest villain, arguably, in comic book history, to oppose one another because of a waffly, weak female like SV's Lana Lang. That's just so...pitiful. I want them to be MORE.

I do enjoy SV's Chloe Sullivan, and her character arc and progress, unlike most of the others on the show, has been gradual, consistent, and layered. Whether or not she becomes romantically involved with SV's Clark, she and Clark have a deep and abiding friendship, and Chloe brings out the best in Clark while not bogging him down in angst. She inspires him to be the Superman I want to respect and admire.

This show has its moments, but especially after the melodramatic soap opera that was season 6, it does not do the Superman mythos justice. And Superman is supposed to be all about justice. I've never been closer to dropping the show, and I've been there since season 1, episode 1.

Oy, will the day ever come for someone to check in here and not see so much fighting and insults flying?
Obviously not.

Once more it's Chloe vs. Lois.
Like it's impossible to love and enjoy both.

There will always be fans to complain about Lois. It's been going on for years now:
"Lois shouldn't be on the show, Clark meets her at Daily Planet." Well since when did AlMiles do what the canon says? Lets just look at Clark still running after Lana, the high school sweetheart.
"Lois doesn't even like journalism." Lois gets into journalism. But apparently she did it the wrong way. Yes, well I guess barn doors really don't make as interesting article material as vampires do.
"Lois doesn't know anything about investigating, the stories are always handed to her." Lois meets a source in the alley (which turns out to be Jimmy). Lois investigates the senator and his overseas account. But apparently it's not enough, we didn't see her do it. But hey, they better not show it - because then the show will be giving her too much screen time!
"Lois has no right to investigate Luthors. That story belongs to Chloe who's been working on it for years!1!" Yes, because Chloe is the only reporter in the world investigating one of the most powerful families. And since when does a story 'belong' to anyone? Chances are if you've been working on something for 5 years, and still don't have the proof you need to publish it, someone else if gonna beat you to it and write the article.
"Chloe was written as a Smallville version of Lois before Lois showed up." Yeah well, they couldn't get real Lois Lane. And then they managed to get her on the show, and it's time to start developing the character into what her future self is supposed to be.
"Lois isn't passionate about journalism." She's not supposed to be the 'iconic Lois Lane' yet. Just like Clark isn't Superman yet. And just like Lex isn't the evil genius mastermind yet. All three of them are still so far away from what they'll become, and have a long way to go. It's called character development. The journey is what makes for an interesting television.

But it's useless to argue that with those who dislike her.
And some even so much that they'll go as far as to bash the actress herself. Classy, that.

For all we know Lois might stop world hunger, find the cure for cancer and AIDS while writing a Pulitzer winning article with her free hand, and there would still be those who would say "But she didn't do it fast enough!". */sarcasm*

And the talk about how Chloe was the journalist first and how she's entitled to something? I'm sorry, but what? The show is not called Chloe Sullivan. It is supposed to be a show about young Superman. If anyone is entitled to anything it should be Clark. And he's the one who gets the worse treatment. Being Chloe's "personal bomb squad" and running to her all the time instead of using his own brain. Unless he's busy moping over Lana and running after her like a love struck puppy, hoping that maybe, someday she'll give him back his balls. And brains. Because apparently it's cool to go around and threaten to kill people because they hurt poor little Lana. Poor little married Lana whom he was too busy kissing on her wedding day even though she was pregnant and marrying his ex-best friend.
Pathetic!

If anyone deserves anything on this show - it's Clark Kent.
He should get his balls and backbone back first.

And then we can talk about doing the same for Lex Luthor, the whiny future villain who's too busy chasing his cheating wife to notice his father is always one step ahead of him.

After they fix the two *most important* characters on the show, then maybe I'd understand why other characters should get some special treatment.

Not that Chloe needs it.
She's working at Daily Planet, where she always wanted to work.
She's Clark's confidant.
She has the most adorable boyfriend who loves the ground she walks on. And Jimmy is coming back next season if I'm not wrong.
Show creators admitted that she's their favourite character on the show to write for.
And apparently they have a whole storyline planned for her already for season 7.
Oh yes - awful! AlMiles must really hate her.

Quote: I don't get why people feel that Smallville has to be a competition between Chloe and Lois, with Clark and the Daily Planet as the tiara.

Because frankly? The way tptb have developed Clark this season, he hasn't been that much of a prize.
____________________________

I don´t get it either, I would like to see future Chloe as a reporter in the Daily Planet, or maybe like some kind of Agent Mulder, or even traveling around the world investigating X-files (paranormal things are her call, after all). But some people seems to think that if she won´t become Daily Planet´s top reporter it´s an insult to her character. I don´t think so, and the fact is that the future Daily Planet´s top reporters are Lois and Clark, they always have been, and they´ll always be. No matter how cool is Chloe or whatever character that someone writes in the future.

Hm, I don't need to start with - to some people - outrageous claims about Chlois or how sad the EDLois performance really is.

What I do want to comment on though is the ridiculous writing in some parts. This season started out promising and very soon lost all its direction and consistency.

Chloe has been my favorite female character in this show since I couldn't stand Lana anymore (back in season 2) and Lois never got to the heights she would've deserved because of her presence in Superman history.

All of this got me to a Lana I have grown to hate, a Lois who isn't worth the name she has been given (even though I love iconic Lois Lane and mildly like Erica Durance) and a Chloe who is being pushed down after having been a strong, loveable and loyal character for several seasons.

I can't help but blame the writers for this result, even though all of this has been going on for months and in some details for years. Draw your on conclusions from my comment.

WTF! More Lightwicthes for Lois?

And i never thought i'd hear this:

"Thank you for giving back Lois what was hers from day one - the passion for journalism."

Yes from day one...in the comics Lois wanted to be a jurnalist since she was a kid just like Chloe, just who you called a journalist wannabe. Chloe doesn't want to be a journalist..she already is one and she doesn't work at The Inquisitor but at the Daily Planet!
Lois got into journalism not because of passion but because of money. Like she said in Combat "She would get fired of The Inquisitor(!!!) and would be without her weekly check!

Cna't wait until next season..the season Chloe exposes Lex with the article that she already started to write as we saw in Progeny.

Phantom was awful. It left a depressing season on a depressing note. Chloe looks dead. Clark looks beaten. And Bizarro and Chloe's worthless cousin take some of their DNA and suddenly they're great. Everything is wrong with this picture. The wrong people are down.

Chloe is the reporter on the show. She always has been, she always will be. She needs to get back to dedicating herself to journalism. Clark is the hero and he needs to likewise get back into the hero game. They've both been off the whole season and I hope the writers fix the situation fast. I'll give them one episode to correct the mistake, but if Chloe isn't back to reporting by episode 2 of Season 7, I'll know that this show needs to be written off as a total loss.

I don't get why people feel that Smallville has to be a competition between Chloe and Lois, with Clark and the Daily Planet as the tiara.

Because frankly? The way tptb have developed Clark this season, he hasn't been that much of a prize.

I like Chloe. I've always liked Chloe. Part of why I liked her was that way back in season 1, she has had some very lois-like qualities. I love the fact that she is being allowed to grow as a seperate character with accomplishments that exist outside of what we see from comicverse Lois. I would like to see her introduced into the comics universe as a character that exists independently of 'the girl that used to have a crush on superman.' Because her character has so much more to offer than that.

This does not mean she takes away from lois at all. There dosen't have to be only one stand-out reporter at the Daily Planet. By my estimite, the Daily Planet, it's a paper the size of the NY times. So I'm sure that they have more than one good reporter.

What hurts the show most, is the overemphasis on the relationships. the clark/lana/lex/chloe/lois/Jimmy six-sided triangle thingy. Seriously, this show is groaning under the weight of it's own love triangles.

I would like to see more of the development of clark becoming superman. This show has been lukewarm this year. It was at it's best when the focus was on the action, not the teen relationship drama.

From the first moment that we saw Lois in Smallville she was investigating. Not to write an article, but investigating anyway. She did not stop before anything up to finding Chloe. During 4th and 5th seasons we saw her with investigator's skills, though again, she was not writing articles as a daily basis. It is just a part of her personality, the only thing that has changed this year is that now, she is writing. In "Forever" she slipped past for the window looking for her cousin, now simply she looks for a news.

When she came to the series she wanted to be neither reporter nor Clark's soulmate, like Clark did not want to be a hero and Lex did not want to be a villain. But it does not matter, because the fact is that ultimately they all will be.

For me to say that Chloe deserves to be the Daily Planet's top reporter because it is what she wants since she was a girl is like to say that Clark deserves to marry Lana because it is what he wants since he was a child. Will he marry her?, not truth?.

Clark and Lana also have being fighting for six years to be able to be together, but they are not meant to be a nothing can change that. Why are Chloe's dreams the only ones that cannot break?. Why must we change 70 years of history for her dreams?

quote: The scene simply showed the viewers why Chloe can never be Lois no matter how hard she tries. Chloe telling Lois that she has gone up against Luthors was laughable because Chloe never has put up a battle against them. She was only used as a pawn by Lionel back in season 2. Chloe's cowardly backing down and telling Lois to do the same was merely because of selfish reasons that Chloe doesn't want Lois to succeed as a journalist from day one.

Me: Did you not watch s3? Chloe took down LIONEL LUTHOR. A high school girl took down someone nobody else could before.

Chloe telling Lois to back off was because she knows the dangers in dealing w/the Luthors. She said it to Jimmy too. And guess what? she was right. Nois ended up stabbed and pulled out the knife (which you shouldn't do! duh! so much for the army brat claim she makes ever 5 seconds) and because of that Chloe is now dying.

oh man, this episode was pure crap.

Lois suddenly grew a brain? she suddenly wants to find the truth? She was completely retconned to be more Chloe-like.

I'm so close to letting go of the show. I don't care for characters that only get anywhere through a lightswitch.

Chloe w/a power is ridiculous. My only hope is that it is temporary. Gone by episdoe 2 at least of Season 7.

First, why the condesending comments to Chloe fans, really not nessasary, unless you feel threatned by her...

I am old enough to know the comic lore, but age has nothing to do with it, it has to do with interest in the subject matter, and Smallville has generated more a lot of new interest for the comics since it's inception...

Second TBTP have made it clear Smallville is not the comics so anything can happen..in the comics Lex and Clark didnt know each other before Clark became Superman...so what 'is' in the comics doesnt and will not always be in the show.

What ever happens happens, but I do not believe that the writters are writting the current Lois with the same strength of character of the iconic Lois Lane...Chloe is more Lois than Lois....

We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the coming season...

"Thank you for giving back Lois what was hers from day one - the passion for journalism. I am glad that TPTB didn't rob the real Lois of her true destiny for the sake of Chloe - a journalist wannabe with zero talent."

That's the most wildly inaccurate assertion I think I've seen here. Since when did this sad version of "Lois" have journalistic passion? Oh, that's right-- NEVER. Chloe had to talk her into working at the Torch, she finally agreed just to get credits. And she then got a free ride to college and never even THOUGHT about journalism again until this year. She even dissed journalism repeatedly, saying "kill me first." There is no evidence that this "Lois" EVER had any passion for journalism before this season of absurd lightswitches. Chloe, on the other hand, has wanted to be a journalist since she was nine ("Progeny"), and we've watched her unearth the truth since the very first episode of "Smallville."

And Chloe, a "wannabe with zero talent"? Gee, I must be getting a different feed of "Smallville" on my cable. On the version I've seen, Chloe has impressed a Pulitzer-prize winner (Perry White) with her writing, convinced another top editor (Kahn) she's worth hiring despite her youthful mistakes, and had at least two front-page headlines on the top newspaper in the DC universe. That's like having two front-page headlines in the New York Times-- before she's twenty. It is absolutely indefensible to say Chloe has no talent for journalism. Based on what the show has shown us, she has a great deal of talent for it.

If anyone's "destiny" is journalism, it's Chloe.

Exactly how old are Chloe fans who post here? Have you guys heard of Superman comics?

Old enough to recognize iconic Lois Lane - regardless of her name. Btw, many Chloe fans are Superman comics fans.

The writers should stop attempting to revive Chlo-Lo because it died the day Chloe shamelessly declared that she was jealous of Lois (Sneeze).

Funny, I thought Chloe made it clear she wasn't jealous of her muffin-peddling college dropout cousin who was inspired by a barn door. She made a joke that if she'd ever be jealous of "Lois" it wouldn't be because she's suddenly a "reporter" but because of "Lois's" assets.

It's also funny how all of Chloe's attempts to get "Lois" interested in journalism are suddenly forgotten after "Lois" magically found her "calling".

Lana isn't dead. She hopped on that passing ice cream truck to get out of smallville. Chloe isn't dead, either her own powers or martian manhunter will help with that. Lionel is probably dead but not sure on that one. And martian manhunter and supes are gunna team up and kick some bizarro ace!

I loved the finale, it rocked! It kept me on the edge of my seat most of the show! It was exciting, sad, and unpredictable the whole time! Everyone did a great job with their acting, I think it's so cool how they all can transform into these different characters! I'm going to miss Martha, poor Clark, both his parents are gone, but at least Martha can come back! Also, I am very angry, why did Lana and Chloe have to die, why couldn't Lex or Lionel die! I mean it just wasn't right, just when you think Clark and Lana have a chance to be together, that chance is just ripped apart,so sad! And whoever thinks that Chlark(which is a stupid conjunction by the way!) has any chance, is stupid! Obviously Clark is too much in love with Lana(maybe a little obessed)he has been from season 1, thank you very much! Now maybe he and Lois have a better chance of surviving, but I don't know! Other than everything I mentioned, the season finale was so awesome!

all i have to say is this:

Pa Kent is gone. Ma Kent is gone.....and Clark's common sense has gone with them.

please please Pa Kent...rise from the dead and slap some sense into your son. He needs you now. SERIOUSLY.

Martian Manhunter: good luck with this boy.

It's sad to see how Chloe fans are poisoning the well. Why can't you people co-exist with other fans? Is Chloe the only character who deserves to be written better? Do other actors/characters and their fans don't matter? Why is it so hard for you people to accept the fact that majority of SV fans don't watch this show for Chloe. We Erica/Lois fans have waited patiently for 3 long years & watched Lois being sidelined. Now the writers are finally giving Erica an opportunity to shine by giving Lois her true place in the story, but her fans have no right to enjoy seeing their favorite character getting good scripts and episodes? NO! because THAT is an "injustice" to Chloe? Excuse me, but Lois Lane is the true heroine of this story not Chloe. Lois is Clark's soulmate not Chloe. Just because the writers/TPTB are finally giving Lois her rightful place in the story, it's making Chloe supporters jealous and outrageous? Or are you guys only threatened because Lois is a competition Chloe cannot beat? Whatever it is, it is really annoying and ridiculous to watch Chloe fans rant and rant against Lois on these forums. You people make these places unbearable for all the other fans of Smallville. If Chloe takes up all the screentime, you guys are happy but the moment any other character gets a good episode or gives a great performance, you guys are out with your daggers drawn.

Not all fans watch Smallville for Chloe so please respect other actors/characters and their fans.

Thanks a lot!!

Chloe telling Lois "I love you" was perhaps the biggest joke in the history of Smallville. The writers may have forgotten but the fans surely remember that only two scenes ago, Chloe had displayed her usual jealousy over Lois working on a story and suddenly she began to love Lois?? The writers should stop attempting to revive Chlo-Lo because it died the day Chloe shamelessly declared that she was jealous of Lois (Sneeze). It was sad to see Lois's character being dragged into Chloe's useless plot. How many fans are exactly interested in Chloe's meteor powers and what does that have to do with Superman mythology?

TPTB should learn the lesson from the ratings of this season. As long as they showed a heroic Clark, JL, Lois/Clois the ratings remained excellent. The moment the show returned back to the same old soap opera and ridiculous storylines such as Chloe and her mother, the ratings fell drastically. Even great episodes like Nemesis and Prototype had to suffer!

In the seventh season, please keep the story around the real big three, i.e., Lois, Clark and Lex. That's what fans tune in for & for God's sake we are not interested in watching Chloe & her silly tears!

Yes beautiful Finale, Love the pure Clana and the Kiss, that was so beautiful... The kiss was magnificent.. I loved it and Chloe oh gosh it made me cry.. I love Chloe and I love Clana and Chimmy:D

As always, it was a pleasure seeing Erica Durance on the CW Upfronts. She looked beautiful as usual. Kudos to her for always supporting Smallville! I love her amazing insight on the role of Lois Lane. Truly, she owns Lois!

Well Well, the finale has ended. What next? I have this sickening feeling that this time the writers will shove Chlark down our throats if the next season is final. Since Clark is no Superman yet then obviously Chloe should get a piece of him too, so hey, let's hook them up. That'll make a bunch of Chlarkers happy too! What if the poor boy never showed any sign of romantic feelings for this woman? What if Superman is further humiliated by hooking him up with a woman who slept with none other than Jimmy Olsen!!

Oh, wait, we have a Lois Lane in the story too. You know, the struggling journalist who has no superhero best friend to drop stories in her lap? The one with no Vampire stories to get her into Daily Planet and no secret deals with Luthors? Oh the same Lois who's working on giving a martyr his honor back! The woman who is truly Clark Kent's match and soulmate! What about her? How about giving her a chance to be with the hero just like she is in the comics? Oh forget about her! She'll just remain the underdog as she is from day one. So what if the people tune in to watch a Superman show and cross their fingers for classic moments from the mythology. Who cares! Let's destroy the hero further by keeping him away from the destiny one more season! Only this time, replace Lana with Chloe!

So once again, we'll have Erica as the most under rated actor of the show appearing in half of the episodes only and this time instead of Lana, we'll have Chloe stealing from Lois what has been hers for seven decades.

If the writers could only watch the contrast between the Chlark scene at DP in Phantom and the Clois moment in the barn in Prototype, they'll know TW/ED's chemistry is far more excellent than anything on this show. Even Tom looked tired when Allison was doing her "jealous of Clana" expression for the 900th time! As opposed to that, his telling ED in Prototype, "I know that look," was pure classic Clois (with perfect foreshadowing of the comics and LnC) moment with an excellent chemistry on both sides!

But we know, we fans of mythos/Superman won't get anything! Once again, Lois Lane will remain in the background while some over rated character gets the limelight!

Sad, sad.. we don't have any Steven DeKnight to save us anymore!

Please give us some nice Clois moments in season 7. No more Clana and Chlark crap please!!

Lois Lane lied to Chloe?? What the hell?? Why should Lois share her story with Chloe? She's not bound to tell Chloe anything! I'd have appreciated if Lois simply told that freeloader Chloe to shut up and get out!!

As for Lois calling Chloe, it was because of the sake of that stupid tear power that Chloe had to show off did the writers made Lois call Chloe instead of hospital or police. That is why I've hated it from day one that they involved Lois in Chloe's lame plot line. They've often ruined Lois for the sake of her stupid cousin and this was one of those moments.

I am hoping that they keep Lois's story separate from Chloe in S7!

I am glad that the writers finally took the right step in the right direction and stopped torturing us with the Lois-wannabe i.e, Chloe. Thank you for giving back Lois what was hers from day one - the passion for journalism. I am glad that TPTB didn't rob the real Lois of her true destiny for the sake of Chloe - a journalist wannabe with zero talent.

Although I really wish that Chloe stays dead and we never see Allison's face and her pathetic display of cleavage again, still if she's alive, please keep her away from Clark. She has kept him from becoming an ace journalist for too long. It is time that Clark shines as a journalist and stops using this pathetic woman as his crutch.

I cannot wait for season 7 and more of Lois, Clark, Lex - the real characters of this story, not some cheap imitations and wannabes.

PS: I hope nothing happens to Lana. I love Kristin!

When this season final was written, the season 7 was not confirmed. If it was serie final, Lana and Chloe are dead. Lois take the place of Chloe at the DP and take the place of Lana in the heart of Clark and the mythology is respected. The majority of fans don't like EDLois. The next season final will be probably identical. In this case why not have romantic Chlark during the season 7. The problem of romantic Chlark is that it is logical. During the last six seasons Clark and Chloe learned how to know. They are able to guess which the other thinks. The name of this is complicity. The real and durable love is not the passion (Clana), it is a business of patience and friendship (Chlark). For the mythology the Clana is not a problem it is easy to break but not the Chlark. The Chlark is solid like Clark.
If the producer decided to follow mythology (Clark and EDLois). They don't know how to break the Chlark without a death. I hope an alternate mythology where Clark finished with Chloe. Smallville is already an alternative mythology with Clark without glass, Lex freind of Clark, Lois before the DP and without journalistic past and Lionel the father of Lex.. Forget Clana, after 6 years the majority of the fans hopes that Lana dies to put an end to Clana.

I agree with your entire post, Jesse. But this:

My prediction for season 7? Clark will remain a limp, weak-willed character. He will attempt to deal with Lana’s laughable faked death, possibly try to move on with Chloe in a pathetic relationship that will insult those fans of Chloe who still watch this show. However, the entire SV world will stop and drop to it’s knees it gratitude when Lana returns. Clark will betray Chloe with her while Lana will only be reclaiming what she’s always *deserved*. In the meanwhile, Lois Lame will continue to magically get every story she’s ever wanted and even *gasp* bring down Lex Luthor in the process. Lex Luthor will go behind bars and take on the dubious title of Galactically Stupid Villan.

is pure gold... but sadly it's also way too accurate.

Highlight of the episode - Bizzaro Clark, Lois investigating, Clark revealing his secret to Lana.

Bizzaro Clark, "I am you only bizzare" - Tom owned that scene. Apart from that Clark Kent was not enjoyable this episode.He was ready to kill Lionel and Lex for Lana. Whatever was supposed to be a highschool love has turned into an obession. He suddenly have a PC to do the research at the DP was unbelievable. Does that mean anyone can walk into DP and use a PC to do the research?. DP has become another place where Clark can walkin and do whatever he can.

Lois investigating was good. There was a nice continuity from the previous episode and Lois kicking ass was good. This episode showed us the classic Lois Lane who will keep Superman busy. As far people complaining that Lois Lane was a feminist and is showing her fake chest - did they say in the show the Lois underwent any surgery to enhance her chest. If the actress has done it in the real life or not is debatable. Even if she has done it why does it matter for the role she is playing.

In season 5 whenever DP was shown and the Chlark talk was about Clana relationship or doing the research work for Clark we didn't hear anyone complaining about how Chloe is getting side tracked from her career goal. If at all anything TPTB are showing that Chloe is babying Clark so much that its affecting her career growth. Lois developing into a journalist doesn't have anything to do with it. In fact time in and time out the show has reminded that Lois works for Inquisitor and that Inquisitor is not a reputable paper like DP. Its upto Chloe to stop babying Clark and stand up to him and ask him to do some basic research by himself so she can concentrate on her career.

Sending off Martha to DC is another mistake. Martha and Jonathan as such an integral part of Clark's destiny. Already Clark has lost his moral compass after losing Jonathan. I hope he doesn't lose whatever compassion he has after Martha leaves to DC. And in season 7 please focus on Clark, his character development and him taking big strides to meet his destiny.

"Phantom" was the worst season finale to date. But it's par for the course for the craptastic second half of season 6.

Where to begin? Clark. The PTB have managed to make me hate Clark. He is a self-centered, whiny, obsessive jerk. His heroic motivation to find the zoners, help the nascent JL, and start his training was quickly forgotten when he got back on the Lana Hamster Wheel Of Angst. It doesn't matter that Lana treated him like crap ("I don't know how I could have loved you.") and that she's pregnant and engaged/married. It's Lana Lang and she will be loved. Men will kill, move mountains, cross oceans to get in her pants.

Clark doesn't like that Lana married Lex? Hey, there are freaks he can abuse and Zoners to kill. Lana tells Clark that Lionel blackmailed her into marrying Lex but neglects to mention that Lionel told her he did it to protect Clark. Clark's solution? Violence. He once again goes off half-cocked to beat up (kill?) Lionel. I thought that Clark learned to think before he acts in "Vengeance"? Maybe he needs to learn the lesson a few more times.

Ironically Clark tells Lana the secret (again) and she ends up "dead". Didn't we do this in "Reckoning"? Lana has been "dead" 10 times so far in the series history. TPTB, don't tease us if it isn't going to stick! Clark jumps to the conclusion that Lex "killed" Lana and goes rough up (kill?) Lex. Hey, the Zoner who is killing innocent victims, can wait. He's not a threat to Lana after all. She's "dead". I am truly disgusted by Clark's behavior. Maybe Bizarro!Clark can get rid of Lanafied!Clark in the s7 premiere and we'll have heroic Clark back.

Chloe warns "Lois, Lois Lane", the general's daughter, that going after Lex is dangerous (foreshadowing much?). What does "Lois, Lois Lane", the general's daughter, do? She lies to Chloe and goes unarmed, alone to the dam. A security guard has a gun pointed at her and tells her to leave. Her answer? "I'm not leaving till you tell me what's going on here!". Hmmm, will the security guard:

a) put down his gun and explain Project Ares in great detail so "Lois" can write her article?
b) put down his gun and ask "Lois" on a date?
c) force "Lois" out at gunpoint?
d) laugh hysterically at "Lois"?

Predictably it's (c) (although he was laughing hysterically on the inside). Now we all know how incompetent Lex's security is but "Lois" happens upon the one guy that is half-way effective and gets stabbed. Eh, way to go "Lois"! Idiot.

Chloe rushes to help "Lois" at the dam. Instead of getting "Lois" to a hospital or calling 911, Chloe breaks down and cries?! WTF? That was such an out-of-character moment, it was jarring. Chloe is the one who saved Clark at the Fortress ("Solitude"), who helped Clark in "Mortal", who held her own with the superheroes in "Justice", who rescued Jimmy and Clark in "Wither",... Chloe is a go-getter, a truth seeker. She takes action. She gets things done without superpowers. But here she cries?! Really!?

Some sort of "transference" takes place and "Lois" is miraculously cured and now Chloe is dead/dying. This is possibly the dumbest turn of events ever. Is "Lois" now the bestest reporter ever too? Because, let's face it, the only way that "Lois, Lois Lane" can be a good reporter is if she becomes Chloe Sullivan. Al, Miles and the writers are desperate and it shows.

Lex slapping Lana was also jarring. Lex Luthor does not lose his cool. He is calm, calculating and dangerous. He gets his lackeys to do his dirty work for him.

The police arresting him for Lana's murder was also out of left field. Did the police find a body? Are they sure it's Lana? Do they have evidence that Lex planned Lana's murder? It made absolutely no sense.

All in all, season 6 made season 4 look good. It's obvious the writers have run out of ideas and are treading water. I shudder to think what they will come up with in season 7. Lana clone? Clark moping in his loft? More Chloe tears? "Lois, Lois Lane" getting into the Daily Planet? Lex and Clark arguing about who loved Lana more? Ugh. *shudder*

I loved the season finale. I hope Chloe is dead, and Lana is alive and lana and clark get together next age. The show doesn't need Chloe, and I hope the writers realize this, because I hate these Chlark scenes... gah

The CW Source don't help Smallville. Whereas the co producer Alfred Gough last Wednesday in an interview try to reassure Chloe fans that Chloe is alive in the season 7 and the CW present the casting of Smallville to reassure the fans (Chloe, Lana and Lionel are on the list) the CW Source play with the nerves of the fans. The last time you put one of the favorite character (Chloe) in a death situation in the season 3 finale you lost a great quantity of Chloe fans. This lost was compensate by new fans of Lois. But Smallville lost fans. It's a big mistake. You gain 1 millions viewers for one episode but you lost another million in a permanent way.
I know several freinds who left Smallville and did not return after the season 3. Please respect your fan. The silent majority don't send comments, just stop watching the show. I read comments here and on others sites and Chloe fans are not happy. Rather than to wait 4 months unhappy several prefer forgive Smallville permanently. It's not a good news. During six years you create an amazing relation between Clark and Chloe. You gave a multitude of indices of romantic Chlark. You do not deliver the goods. Chlark fans are frustrated and quit. The real Lois Lane is Chloe and the perfect Clark girl freind is Chloe. All my freinds and my daugther school freinds understand this but not you. You started to lose viewers when you reactivated the Clana and annonced the possible death of Chloe.

I read CW is interested in targeting female viewers. I am a female viewer and I want to give you an opinion. My friends and I do not like Erica Durance playing Lois. Lois was an early feminist and we have problem with how Lois's fake chest is constantly displayed popping upward in a push up bra. This is insulting to women viewers. Lois is not a Hooter watiress. Look at all your leading actreses, do any of them display themselves in the manner that Erica Durance shows off her fake chest?

Ok people the DC comic, movies and SV are all entertainment: fiction and myth. So, the characters are not real; they are just for our enjoyment. People need to stop saying someone belong with someone, because of the movie and the comic. The story lines can be change, coz it not real! Lana lang, and Lois lame are alright, but i like Chloe is the best. That doesn't mean that i think Chloe and Clark should be together, she may be a perfect match for his whining butt. I don't know why lois feels in need to always act like masculine just coz she's a Gen's daughter. For those who said Chloe was jealous of Lois; What the...!! I don't care if CW decided to pair up Lois & Clark whatever. Just coz Chloe has been playing it cool while Lois is doing her self-righteous thing doesn't mean Chloe has lost her passion for journalism. I bet if more of Chloe investigating happened in this season, Lois fans would had said something bout Chloe trying to owned it all. All of these charades just comes down to favoritism. Lana i hope you come back, but please leave Clark alone; same goes to you Clark. Lois i hope you’ll steer up the pathetic chemistry between u and Clark for while, and then leave. The guy don’t know how to quit when he’s in lust. Chloe i hope you find happiness and that make Clark jealous. Lex you are really the devil incarnate. Martha please come home and set you boy straight. Lionel i like you, but i still don’t trust ya.

The finale was very "cut and paste." There was no clear exposition.

1. If Lex is getting the DNA from the dangerous alien, why wouldn't he have contingencies for the alien turning on him.

2. Lex can't be stupid and sympathetic and be a strong anti-hero. They need to make Lex vile and sadistic and pyschotic.

3. For Lana to justify setting him up. He should have really beaten her with blood splattering on his shirt.

4. They need to bring back the idyllic romance between Clark and Lana with no more angst and fake obstacles.

5. Chloe should have more time in the season finale.

6 Lois shouldn't smirk and make everything into a joke. She is taking all the screen time away from Chloe. Chloe is the Lois of Smallville. How are they going to be two actresses playing the same role? Give Chloe all the Lois stories.

Ok people the DC comic, movies and SV are all entertainment: fiction and myth. So, the characters are not real; they are just for our enjoyment. People need to stop saying someone belong with someone, because of the movie and the comic. The story lines can be change, coz it not real! Lana lang, and Lois lame are alright, but i like Chloe is the best. That doesn't mean that i think Chloe and Clark should be together, she may be a perfect match for his whining butt. I don't know why lois feels in need to always act like masculine just coz she's a Gen's daughter. For those who said Chloe was jealous of Lois; What the...!! I don't care if CW decided to pair up Lois & Clark whatever. Just coz Chloe has been playing it cool while Lois is doing her self-righteous thing doesn't mean Chloe has lost her passion for journalism. I bet if more of Chloe investigating happened in this season, Lois fans would had said something bout Chloe trying to owned it all. All of these charades just comes down to favoritism. Lana i hope you come back, but please leave Clark alone; same goes to you Clark. Lois i hope you’ll steer up the pathetic chemistry between and Clark for while, and then leave, cuz the guy don’t know how to quit when he’s in lust. Chloe i hope you find happiness that 'll make Clark jealous. Lex you are really the devil incarnate. Martha please come home and set you boy straight ba4 he does something despicable again. Lionel i like you, but i still don’t trust ya.

chloe better not be dead! her and clark belong together! I loved how chloe could heal lois sooooo cool I was waiting all year for her power. and two clarks! sooo cute love that.and I love that lex is going to jail but its sad lana has to fake her own death to put him in jail.

Phantom didn't look like a season finale. It was like any other regular episode because its obvious now that all the characters will be back next season.

I really hope we do see Martha next season. If it was AOT's decision not to come back because of the way she was written this season then writers are dumber than I thought they would be. JK and MK are a very integral part of Superman's life and SV is making fun of the whole Kent family dynamic.

The highlight of the episode Bizzaro Clark and Lois investigating. The almost smirk Lois had when she figured out the co-ordinates was very nicely done. BC was awesome and in the fighting scene I was rooting for BC to knock some sense into Clark which is kind of sad.
MM just made an appearance hopefully they will use him efficiently in the next season.

How much are you going to screw Clark's character for the sake of the Clana relationship. Clark is ready to kill Lionel and Lex for the sake of Lana. I almost wish that he kill them and go to jail for it and that can be the end of SV. Clark and Lana kissing when Lana is still married to Lex - she still had the ring on. Way to go Superman. Stop saving the world because Lana is more important. I do not see this Clark fit to touch the Superman mantle.

Chloe's power was lame and I honestly hope they will improvise it next season. I did not like her reaction when Clark told her that Lana knew about him and they both kissed. After what she has gone thru with Clark and Lana because of the secret I thought she would be releived that she doesn't have to the secret holder and lie. TPTB have made Chloe look petty and still hung upon Clark when Clark is still hung upon Lana. Chloe is not sidelined for Lois. Chloe is sidelined and demoted to the status of Clark's sidekick ever since she knew his secret.

Hopefully TPTB can get their act together and give us a good S7 with character development for Clark.

I can't believe how much bitter some of the clana and chlark fans are.. wow! so lois and clark's characters are ruined over and over for the sake of clana and the sheknowsitall chloe but it is okay as long as their ships continue but the moment the writers decide to bring lois lane in limelight and gradually give her the position lois is supposed to have in this story, shippers come out and shout because lana and chloe got sidelined?

Hello! this show was about Clark not lana or chloe!!

Since when DID lana ruin clark's morals in the comics like she has on smallville? And Chloe? she didn't even exist. It was always lois lane who's clark's true love and the ace reporter! now when the story is going towards the real mythology, the shippers are feeling threatened and giving petty remarks about lois and erica durance? That is just SICK!

Erica did a great job for three years but she is always under rated because it's either about lana or chloe. Isn't this show about Superman? Aren't lois and clark supposed to be the main characters! but NO!! as long as there is clana and chlark, it is okay for you people even if clark's character is turned into crap!! If erica gets a good script to work with then it is a huge injustice to poor poor lana and chloe!! why??

The comics fans should be happy that the writers are finally ending clana and making clark the superhero and lois the journalist she is supposed to be.. but for clana & chlark fans its only about their ships... do the thousands of fans who watch the show for erica and for lois don't deserve to watch great scenes written for lois/erica??? NO!! just because that would turn lana and chloe into victims? what about the times when lois gets crapped because of lana and chloe? what kind of double standard do you people have?

what a shame!

Anyways, there are still lots of fans who love erica/lois and who want clark to get out of the clana & chlark trap and become superman so we'll be watching smallville. I am hoping s7 is great. stop compromising lois and clark's characterizations for the lana's and chloe's. it's just too much!! we've seen lanaville and chloeville for 6 years, now give us some real mythos and more lois and clark!

i am watching smallville for lois, clark and superman and i hope almiles don't dissapoint us!

Great episode! I am so glad that Aaron Ashmore is coming back for the seventh season. He totally deserved it after doing a great job in S6! Congrats Aaron :)

If Lana doesn't come back in Season 7, I would be really pissed. The writers should do a better job of writing her character, she has done so much for Smallville. During Season 1,2, 3 Smallville had 7,8, 9 million viewers. Review your scripts from those days. Clark and Lana, everyone should have a first love romance like theirs.

Cool finale! I loved everything from Bizarro to MM to the fight between Clark and Bizarro....

Lois Lane rocked!! Erica Durance is just TOO WONDERFUL!! Please, Please bring her for all 22 episodes next season!! AND MORE OF CLOIS PLEASE!! TOM/ERICA ROCK TOGETHER!!

Chloe's power was totally ridiculous. I was laughing out loud when the tear came out. She was jealous of Lois the entire season and now suddenly she loves Lois! Pathetic... Allison over acted a lot and made the scene look even more stupid!

PLEASE BRING MORE OF ERICA DURANCE!! MORE TOM/ERICA CHEMISTRY AND MORE CLOIS IN SEASON 7!!

I started watching Smallville when ABC Family started airing the reruns this year. Love the Clark-Lana chemistry. I am glad Clark finally told Lana the truth. I purchased Smallville Dvds just to watch them together.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SHOW NEEDED. BEFORE WHEN JUSTICE LEAGUE WAS WORKING TOGETHER THE SHOW WAS HYPED UP BUT THEN KIND OF CHILLED FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE FINALE WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AND EVERYONE IS POSSIBLY DEAD. THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!

I liked the episode a lot. It was action packed and really fun. Clana scenes were predictable and boring. Other than that, almost everyone shined. Tom, John, Annette, Michael, Erica and Allison did a great job.. Bizarro, MM and Lionel parts were great. Lois Lane was awesome as usual. I'm glad she's okay. Chloe doesn't look good, but we know she will be fine. Clark should save them and I really want Clark to move on with Lois Lane now. She's the girl for him and I hope Clark sees it!

First of all, the things I loved:

- Loved Lois Lane. Erica is truly improving more and more as an actor. Gotta love Lois Lane's reporter mode. I am glad she's still on Lex's trial about Wes story. Can't wait to see more of that in S7.

- Loved how Lois dismissed Chloe's advice about letting the story go. Oh Chloe! You should know that Lois Lane doesn't back off from a story because it is dangerous. That is the difference between you and Lois!! So stick to your vampires and tree plantations, let Lois Lane do the investigative reporter's job please!!

- Bizarro part was amazing. Can we keep this version and let go of the mopey whiny Clark? Please? Anyways, the whole fight scene was awesome. Loved it.

- Lionel Luthor was A-mazing. Gotta love John Glover!!

Now the things that I didn't like:

- Clana off course. Same old, same old. Future Superman kissing a married woman.. pathetic!

- Lex wasn't impressive. He was great in Prototype but in Phantom, I didn't like his characterization. It should have been powerful. May be when he gets rid of Lexana, we'll have our old Lex back!

- Chloe is getting totally redundant now. First of all, I hated how she went all jealous of Lana knowing the secret now. I can't believe she advised Lois to stay away from Lex after what he did to her mother. She should've encouraged Lois to fight.

- Lois getting stabbed. OUCH! Thank God she's okay but they didn't have to make Chloe the savior. It was totally lame. MEH!

I'll miss Martha a LOT!

I hope that these new developments help Clark get closer to his destiny. Please bring more and more of Lois's investigative journalism, more Lois and Clark teaming up and lots and lots of Lois/Clark/Jimmy action in season 7!

I just hope there is less of Lois. She is just awful. She can't act and wrecks the dramatic moments. What thinking woman would get into a fist fight with a guy with a gun. It was too stupid to be remotely interesting. I was watching with a group of friends and we were laughing out loud. Lois said to the guy with a gun pointing at her, " I am not leaving until you tell me the truth about what is going on down here." What is this a SNL skit?

I sincerely doubt anyone is dead but I hope Lana is in few or no episodes next year! She is the worst part of the show.

Funny recap, Sarah!

LOVED THE FINALE!!! the writing on smallville is simply phenomenal.

(1) not convinced that lana is totally dead. i think she staged her murder to frame lex.

(2) won't believe chloe is gone either until i see her funeral--but since her character is the property of smallville and NOT DC comics, she is expendable, unfortunately and probably will get written off (dead or alive). AM is a great actress, tho -- would still hate to see her character dead. one thing for sure: chloe will carry a torch for clark until the day she dies.

(3) i have mixed feelings about lionel but had suspected long ago in season five that he "turned good guy" who basically was going to get things done in questionable ways.

(4) i thought TW's performance was quite compelling and strong, overall. great seeing bizarro CK!

(5) lex luthor unfortunately is lex luthor. his reputation precedes him. nuf said. MR is still sooo sexy!

(6) they need to cast a new lois lane. erica durance just doesn't do it for me. not sure if it's ED or if it's how ED is being asked to portray lois lane. (for the record, kate bosworth doesn't do it for me either, as lois lane.)

WOW. i can hardly wait for season 7; would like to see a season 8 without any of the 7-year contract actors/characters (lex, lana or chloe) in the mix. i think that would be a challenge for smallville's writing staff. they can concentrate on developing CK's character as the man he will one day become: superman.

I mourn for Lana and Chloe. And most of all, I mourn for the love between Lana and Clark. If Lana really is dead, it's bye bye Lana, hello Lois! And dude, seriously Lois and Clark have NOO chemistry. Rrr, I've been depressed every time I think of Smallville. Okay truly, it was a really good finale, but it still SUCKED! I hate death!!! Yes, I know I'm rambling, but I need to vent! I really really reaalllyyy hope that Chloe and Lana are NOT dead. End of story.

So, to wrap up:
- Clark: Beaten up.
- Bizarro: On the loose.
- Lionel: Trapped in rubble, possibly dead.
- Lana: Apparently blown to bits.
- Lex: Arrested for the death of Lana.
- Lois: Stabbed, healed, and currently trapped in a water-filled building.
- Chloe: Healer, possibly dead, and also trapped in rubble and water with Lois.
- J’onn J’onzz: Orbiting the earth, trying to get his guts to grow back.
- Martha: In Washington, DC. Who knew that nation’s capital was so much safer than rural Kansas?

^-ROFL

OMGGG....that was a gudd finale,,,,i think that lex or his dad should die,,,,,but mostly his dad,,,,,i reallly like what Lana did fake her own death.....Well at least that's what i really think happened,,,,but if it is sooo,,,gudd job Lana.Chloe i knew that she had another power,,,,but i hope that by savin Lois,she didn't kill herself,,,because i reaaly think that the show is nothing without her,,,,Lois she's okay but i think that the show would be okay if she left,,,Lex doesn't look like he's about to die soon,,so watever, but maybe the show would also be crap without him,,,,His dad could goo,,,,don't need him that much,,eventho he's protectin ma BOO CLARK,,and CLARK,,,, i would stop watchin this show for life if he was to die,,,,,,because he is the star of the show without him the can't be NO smallvill,,,,,,,i want him to be with Lana sooo much,,,but he need to get everything and everone out of his way.....If she keeps plauin games which i don't think she would,,,they Chloe is a other person that might be right for him,,,,but LANA AND CLARK TOGETHER MATCHES PERFECT.........

Lex maybe didn't plan the pregnancy with all the hormone injections? Okay damn i missed that completely. Just thought he was playing dumb. Interesting.

All I know is, better not be a long wait til we see Lana again. No hiding b.s. come on!!!
This is a series not the actual comic book, besides Lois and Clark can have their thing waaayy in the eeend of the series.
I say satisfy the long-term since-the-beginning fans and finally let Lana and Clark reunite ..ahh!!!
Thank you :)

Congrats SV, you’ve made me loathe Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

According to this season, Clark is a weak-willed idiot without the strength of character and I would argue basic intelligence to grow past the farm. After six season he remains enamored of a truly ridiculous caricature in Lana Lang whom you unbelievably still think the audience must adore in her perfection. She literally can do no wrong that you will not make right by trashing everyone else. It’s amazing the lengths to which you’ve trashed everyone to make this happen this season. Worse still, you’ve taken Lex Luthor along for the ride.

Clark and Lex are no longer icons of pop-culture. They’re cardboard cut-outs of every OC/Dawson’s Creek cookie-cutter male character the audience grows to loathe after a season of utter garbage. (soon Hidden Palms and Gossip Girls will be added to this esteemed list) The amazing thing is, Al Gough, so utterly out of touch with most of his audience keeps insisting this dreck made for a strong season. Does he even watch the show anymore?

Congratulations too, SV on confirming that Chloe fans really have no reason to tune in any more. You have changed her so completely with this sham of a relationship with Jimmy and now to add insult to injury, you’ve added the lamest and cheesiest power you can to her character. The cherry on top is the sacrifice of Chloe for Lois Lame. I have no doubt Ms Mack will be back next season, but I can’t for the life of me fathom why. The show has shown they have no qualms about sacrificing a character as the shortest and easiest way to a resolution to a plot line, and lets face it, Lois Lame has in the last episode indeed stepped over Chloe’s dead (dying) body to grab everything Chloe’s ever wanted, while Chloe twiddles her thumbs and lets it happen. What this show has given us is the final inkling that Chloe is going to be geared up to die for Lois Lame to get a kick in the pants she so desperately needs. After all, what will she do on a story that isn’t someone she’s personally involved with and has to deal with a military base? And after the hack job of this season after Promise, we know these writers have no qualms about churning out tripe and expecting fans to buy it. Not this one. My prediction for season 7? Clark will remain a limp, weak-willed character. He will attempt to deal with Lana’s laughable faked death, possibly try to move on with Chloe in a pathetic relationship that will insult those fans of Chloe who still watch this show. However, the entire SV world will stop and drop to it’s knees it gratitude when Lana returns. Clark will betray Chloe with her while Lana will only be reclaiming what she’s always *deserved*. In the meanwhile, Lois Lame will continue to magically get every story she’s ever wanted and even *gasp* bring down Lex Luthor in the process. Lex Luthor will go behind bars and take on the dubious title of Galactically Stupid Villan. By the end of the season, fans will be so bitter, ratings will be so down that a death is pretty much a given. Oh, and Jimmy will do something or the other if he’s still no dedicated to ruining Chloe even more.

Cheers, Chloe. It was nice watching what glimpses I got from the real Chloe and real Clark in season 6. Ms Mack, be glad you’re rid of this tripe. You and all your castmates are better than this show.

I LOVE SMALLVILLE SO MUCH IT IS LIKE THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD AND LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY FUN BUT IT ENDED REALLY SAD AND I HOPE CLARK DO WHAT HE GOT TO DO AND KILL THAT PHANTOM AND I HOPE CLARK GET BACK HIS GIRL WHICH IS LANA BECAUSE SHE IS NOT DEAD AT ALL....

Randy

what r u guyz talkin about clarck and lana are ment for each other there hot together thats the only reason i watch this show if they stoped being toget her i will die that would rewen the show i hope clarck will luv lana for ever i think they r soooooo cuite together

what r u guyz talkin about clarck and lana are ment for each other there hot together thats the oly reason i watch this show if they stopo being toget her i will stp watching the movie i hope clarck will luv lana for ever i think they r soooooo cuite together

Did anyone else notice the huge diamond rings on Lana's finger as she was kissing Clark? Real subtle that she is a married woman. Yeah, she was leaving Lex but Clark is called the "boy scout" for a reason. Lana has fryed that poor guys brain with her indecisive behavior. Oh I can't be with Clark because he doesn't tell me the truth, but Lex trusts me, Oh wait, on second thought you know what Lex I can't go on with this lie. Somewhere before this was her dating Whitney and that guy she met in France... Am I the only one seeing a pattern here? Do us all a favor and hook up Clark with Chloe or Lois but keep that poor boy away from Lana Lang, I can't handle another season of Clark chasing after her.

WOW! What a finale, I think that the pace of the show was at an all time high. timing of the events was great, all leading up to the cliffhanger ending. I really hope Lana is gone, she bugs me and So over her acting like she's tuff. dude she stinks! my roommates, and friends had a gathering to watch the finale, and cheered when the car blew up, but of course she probably is still alive....darn. but Chloe...I hope she is not dead, I don't think she is, but I guess we'll just have to wait until the fall to find out. and anytime there is two clarks it's always good, and the fact that one is bad ooooh love it!!! tom welling is really good at playing a "bad guy". he's hawt! and when lex slapped lana, ouch! that was kinda sexy in a strange way. also cheered at that. Great show. can't wait for next season and of course I will be purchasing season 6 as soon as it's out on DVD (I have em all!!!)

Was it just me or did they seem to drag season 6 all the way until the finale and boom all of a sudden Clark tells Lana he is an alien, he finally finds out she knows his powers, Lana leaves Lex, Chloe's power sucks the life out of her and Lionel teams up with Martian Manhunter. My head hurt from all the information overload. Nothing like cramming the whole year into an hour episode. I think there was more action and dialog in the season finale then in the other 21 episodes combined. I hope next season they do things at more of a steady pace. Understandably, you save the best for last but if you don't preceed it with a steady stream of good no one will be around to watch the finale.

Clark you need to seriously and honestly send bizzaro and his fellas a no return ticket into the abyss! Its time Clark become who he was born to be: saving the world including Chloe, i hope. This show is nothing without Chloe, and please no more power for her, the power thing is a total screw-up. After hearing Clark said to Chloe that he was still in luv with Lana in lastnight finale, i felt sorry for Chloe. Now I really think Chloe should summon courage; braveness and move on without Clark. The man is in lust with Lana. Lois good job. Lex and the whole lab project was disturbing: at times you'll think the guy is nice and the next he's acting like the true son of the devil, and i don't mean Lionel Luthor.

the ep was pretty good.I don't think chloe is dead, but i think she on the verge of dying. loved the daily planet part w/ both clark and chloe woking together... very nice chlark momment...i loved that there was a lot of action and bizzaro-thats exciting!!!!lana faking her death was a good part too... chloe's power is ok i thought it would be a lot worse!!!! can't wait for S7.. oh and i need sum chlark next season!!! they belong togeter!!!!

All I can say is Lana better *STAY* dead!

The season finale was so good! TWO CLARKS! How HOT!!! I can't wait to see more of them in Season 7!

Seeing Chloe dead because of that ridiculous power better not be true. If Chloe come back next season: i hope she has no power, come back as the butt-kicking reporter we've grown and love to watch. Lana sorry you left, but i'm still curious 'bout the way your death. As for Lios i have notting say. Lex did looked like he was innocent 'bout Lana's death. I'm sorry for Lionel, and i'm starting to have a change of heart for the poor man. Finally, Clark you did a great job, now we just need you to kick bizzaro's ..., and also safe Chloe and the rest of the world.

Great show, but to much chaos. Personally i think Lois should ve stayed dead, and what kind of power did you gave to Chloe? One Tear drop and boom Lois is alive and wonderful Chloe kicked the bucket.

I loved SV finale, but what i understand is Lana's car bomb scenario. What in the world is wrong with the SV writers, Chloe cannot be dead! She's the best character on that show, and Clark's back bone.

i cant believe lana AND chloe died! that doesnt make sense and was totally stupid.

That was dumb that chloe saved lois but then ends up being dead herself...what kind of power is that?!?! u can use it once, and then u die wow!

i really hope lana went into that truck thing that was passing and didnt get into the car b/c i dont want her to die!

i was so happy when lionel hit bizzaro with the kryptonite but was then confused and frightened when bizzaro seemed to get stronger lol...that played with my emotions.

The finale was exciting. I don't like how after every season, everyone is in chaos. Then those dreaded words come across the screen...."TO BE CONTINUED..." I hate that! Now I have to wait for next season to find out what really happened. Anyway, I don't think anyone is really dead, unless that rumor of someone leaving the show..maybe they would kill them off, but other than that, I don't think so.

Mwa ha, kudos for the snarky recap. Much more fun than the finale itself was.

As far as finales go that was kinda disappointing.
The first 22 minutes were a complete snoozefest.
It picked up a bit after Martian Manhunter started to explain how he was watching over Clark all this time.*cough*retcon*cough*

Lex and his search for the Phantom was OK.
The little boy was cracking me up, I was laughing out loud through most of his scenes. Just a bit over the top for my taste.
And yes - I also laughed when Lex threw that doctor to the kid phantom. lmao

Lana blowing up - could it have been a bigger fake-out? They didn't even try to make that truck less obvious!
Still, with Lex arrested (Where is the evidence? The police was never too bright in that town...) I guess at least she'll have to go in hiding, and we'll be Lana-free for some time. \o/ At least I hope so.

Loved Lois snooping around, that was neat. Glad to see she didn't leave the story just because Chloe told her to.
Although it was a matter of time before some of the goons she usually goes up against stabbed/shot her.
Luckily it was Chloe to the rescue. Loved the scene.
So what is Chloe's power? We know it's a healing power, but does she take another person's injuries on herself and then heals herself after that? She can't be dead, she better not be.

Clex scene was short but OK. Pity it was all about Lana.
Loved how even angry they still wanted the other one to get out to safety when the phantom showed up.

Loved Bizzaro! He looked like angst and anger free version of Clark. Sounds fun! Plus - kinda hot.
And how cool is it that he can fly?
Also, two characters for Tom to play next season - it can only mean more fun!

Looking forward to season 7.

in general this was a pretty good episode so i say bravo.

Smallville's finale was AMAZING!!!! it was everything and than some. from the organ ripping, Lana and Clark both coming clean with each other (how romantic was that!!) to Clark being treated like a step child by his alter ego!!! Kudos to the writers. I love the way Lana faked her death and framed Lex to get back to him for all the lies, very clever of her she learned a thing or two from having the Luther last name. I hope you realized that Lana snuck herself in that truck that passed by her car. Aw, I hope that Lionel is not dead after finding out that he was on Clark's side I kinda like him now!!. Chloe is not dead, it will just take her some time to recover from healing people.. her eyes will open in the premier of season 7. As for Lana, she will show up somewhere, but I think through out the 7th season she will pay Clark a surprise visit only to find out that Clark had moved on and is smitten by Lois, yeah yeah so I hope. Cannot wait for Season 7 hey, you never know if things continue to be so interesting there may even be a season 8!!!!

I'll admit, the only moments of SV I see are the last 10-15 min before SPN.

The end of last nights episode has compelled me to watch next season. (much better than the usual relationship drama episode endings.)

Good effects too

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SMALLVILLE WAS REALLY EXCITING FOR ME LAST NIGHT AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.

I just wanted to say that last nights smallville finale was off the hook, i mean it had everything you love about superman. Now that bizzaro is on tbe loose things will get shaken up a bit. good finale action packed. cant wait for season 7
