Poll: Do you like what was done with Chloe?

[Clarky123]

hey think about it this way at least they didn't kill her off


that would be a better solution, no on can agrue about that beeing moraly wrong!:rotfl:

[HeartChakraBabe]

Not yet. From what I can see, PS3 doesn't like Chloe, so I wouldn't be surprised if they do kill her in the end. I will forever hate them if they do. This was devastating enough.

And I know I've said it before, but I'm gonna say it again: SHE HAD BETTER GET HER MEMORY BACK!!!

[unfocused]

Chloe isn't going to die. And she might get her memory back. But this is just something I believe, I don't know the facts.

Honestly, I don't see either of these things happening. IMO, the memory wipe was done so they could write her out without killing her off. I just don't see what the purpose was otherwise. So I don't think she will get her memory back or die.

[Hopefulsuicide]

I find it hard to believe that you are addicted to a show that you believe has bad writing, so I'll just ignore what you're telling me about you thinking the writing is bad. I'm going to go with my gut feeling here, you love the stories PS3 are giving us this season ;)

i really think you should consider what you just said

a) an addiction can easily be for something you don't enjoy/something that is not good for you. in fact almost all addictions tend to cause you negative things in some way or another. in terms of tv, if i said i was addicted to jerry springer i could hardly suggest that was because it was so enlightening...
or if i said it had an addiction to teletubbies, it would not be because of the amazing dialogue

for me, as a smallville addict who no longer really enjoys the show, i can say the addiction STARTED when i did love the show and the characters, but now it's like a relationship that's gone sour. i know i don't love them anymore, but i can't imagine a life without them because i've been with them so long.

b) your going to ignore what fat elvis said and decide that it isn't true? are you suggesting he is lying about not liking the writing? i think that's incredibly rude...

[umm]

hey think about it this way at least they didn't kill her off


They might as well have! The biggest development of her life has happened in those 4 years, it's what defines her, it's what makes her Chloe we all know and love! Deleting her memories, and we are talking big chunks here, equals deleting her identity, and that is one cruel death, actually that is a fate worse than death!

I think unfocused has a fair point. Many people can't understand why someone would watch and be so devoted to a show that they don't think is very good. It's a strange thing. But like you, I used to love the show. My obsession started in middle school. It was then that I discovered things like internet message boards and spoilers. It wasn't until Season 3 that I really started noticing the flaws in the show, but by that point I was so invested that I just couldn't stop.

So while I get what he is saying, I think it is important to understand my POV on this and not immediately assume that my sticking around has anything to do with the current quality of this show.

Actually, that's is exactly what you said. "After all, it would be for his own good." See?

Heh. My bad. However, I was being sarcastic. I don't think it would be for his own good. But my opinion on it doesn't matter. Clark should get to decide how to live his life. No one should decide what is best for him but him. Chloe has the same right.



What I got from the ending of Abyss and the AU in Apocalypse was that Chloe will have her happy ending without Clark. I can see her happy with Clark and working beside him, but she is also in danger. And this time she was in mortal danger, which is what I believe to have been that final stone that brought the mountain down for Clark and pushed him to make that critical decision.


She is in mortal danger in nearly every episode. And yes, "Apocalypse" and "Abyss" did purport that notion. But other episodes, like "Labyrinth" and "Wrath" demonstrate that Chloe does a lot of good for Clark and that she is a worthy partner. But again, I'm not really arguing whether or not this decision was best for Chloe; I am arguing whether or not the act of mind-wiping her was morally acceptable. I think we may just have to agree to disagree, because clearly I will never think it is an OK thing.

Lol calm down there. We were having a bit of silly banter, nothing to do with you. Don't try to turn this into something it isn't.

Most episodes tell us Chloe is a worthy partner, I'm not disputing that and NO ONE thinks that. I BELIEVE she is a good sidekick. I said that already. I also said I believe what Clark did was immoral. But I guess everyone chose to skip over that part of my posts :lol: I guess I just have an open mind and let myself see the reasoning behind what he did and try to understand it.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to skip over that part of your posts. I guess I was just confused because despite believing it was immoral, most of your posts have been whole-hearted supports of Clark's decision. But I see your point. I do understand his reasoning behind it, and I know he did it for the right reasons. But I still can't defend him here. I don't have much else to say that I haven't already, so I guess we will just have to end the argument here. :\

i think the problem is that i can't see the step in logic... if you believe what he did was immoral then how can you think it was the right thing to do?

this is a choice he made that isn't even based on facts, but maybe's. she MIGHT be safer. she MAY have a better life now that she doesnt know the secret.

it's not a good enough reason to do something immoral...

[unfocused]

I think it was the right thing to do because the alternatives would have been much worse, from a friendship point of view and a savior point of view.

I agree his decision was based on "maybes" but these are "maybes" he has seen with his own eyes.

Try looking at this through Clark's eyes:
He's seen Chloe happy without knowing his secret, he's seen her in love and living a life she loves... all either without even knowing him, or knowing his secret.

Now, knowing his secret and fighting by his side, he's seen her in danger countless times. She's been near death so much and he never knows if this day will be her last. He loves her so much and doesn't want to see her hurt, or worse... die. And it's all because she knows his secret and he allows her to fight alongside him against evil.

Again, I don't hold it against him for making that controversial decision. Because I try to look through his eyes and see the tough choices he has to make, from his point of view. And, being so open minded, often times I can see why he makes his choices, even when I don't agree with them.

[KEGZilla]

I'm in the minority but I like what they did. Clark's destiny is protecting people, and he is protecting his best friend. Being a best friend means making the tough decisions, and this is one of them.

[RedKRules]

Yeah, but that was not his decision to make ....

i do get what your saying, and i know he loves her a lot and he thinks he is doing absolutely the best thing for her... but he's a lunkhead, he's a BDA, and he's not thinking about her as an independant person

yes, he has seen some visions of what Chloe's life would have been like if he had never existed, but he has no idea what the future holds for Chloe now, now that she knew the secret, is still his best friend, but doesnt remember anything...

again i say what he did isnt malicious, but it makes him look like a complete idiot to me... and i can't believe that his father was proud of him for that... that makes it look even stupider... it makes all kryptonians look like simpletons... if they can't see the bigger picture...

[RedKRules]

And I thought Superman was suppose to be the smartest person on earth, who am I kidding??! :rolleyes:

[All about Clark]

I didn't read everyone's post this time, but I'm really riding the fence on this one.

Chloe was begining to get herself in too deep. Who's to say she wouldn't do something to harm herself further.

However, I do believe he took from her, her greatest gift, her knowledge that she made an impact in the world. Not many people can have a gift like that. And to lose that gift would be pretty unforgivable if she did get her memory back. It would be enough to break that Chlark relationship for good. It just doesn't seem healthy either way.

I don't think Clark is a "lunkhead," or a "bda," or an "idiot," or a "simpleton." And frankly, I feel insulted that your side of this discussion has reverted to insult after insult this way.

[Hopefulsuicide]

my side of the discussion is still cohesive and i am still making valid points. my use of negative words that pertain to Clark at this point in the storyline is to voice my opinion. how on earth am i supposed to explain my opinion without the use of these words, when it is my opinion that the storyline made him appear a lunkhead, a BDA and made kryptonians out to be no more intelligent than your average human...

i will avoid using truly offensive words if people express their offense. i will not use swear words in reference to characters. i will never simply character bash without backing what i say up with a good arguement. but i'm not going to censor any negative veiws i have of Clark because you don't like it.

[unfocused]

No, your side of this discussion isn't still cohesive and making valid points. That's my point, you and others are reverting to insults because your argument isn't cohesive. That's why I feel insulted.

how on earth am i supposed to explain my opinion without the use of these words
If you can't explain your opinion without the use of insults, then I really don't care for your opinion. I don't see the difficulty in saying "he's a bad decision-maker" instead of "he's an idiot." The quality of this discussion, mostly made by you, has been great up until this point.

i am not reverting to insults... if my thread had simply said 'clark is an idiot' then yeah you could say i was simply insulting him

what i said made perfect cohesive sense and had a very distinct point. that the writers have made clark look unintelligent

let's try posting the same arguement again, with slightly more subtle synonyms shall we?

i do get what your saying, and i know he loves her a lot and he thinks he is doing absolutely the best thing for her... but he's a bad decision maker, has bad judgement, and he's not thinking about her as an independant person

yes, he has seen some visions of what Chloe's life would have been like if he had never existed, but he has no idea what the future holds for Chloe now, now that she knew the secret, is still his best friend, but doesnt remember anything...

again i say what he did isnt malicious, but it makes him look like a person who's brain is not capable of the same mental processes as most of the people on this forum to me... and i can't believe that his father was proud of him for that... that makes it look even stupider... it makes all kryptonians look like people who are incapable of making intelligent decisions... if they can't see the bigger picture...

is that less offensive? or is it simply my opinion you find offensive?

[unfocused]

It was your newly insulting approach to this discussion I found offensive. I don't mind the insults in moderation, but to use them now to explain your opinion just threw me off. You were better than that. And making that post just after claiming you don't like patronizing comments tells me your argument is no longer cohesive.

But honestly, I don't really care any more. Like I said, if you can't explain your opinion without basing a post on insults, then I really don't care for your opinion.

[Hopefulsuicide]

yes, that came across as patronising, because i'm exasperated from trying to keep you happy... and i don't know why i'm bothering now... you seem to simply have decided that you don't want to respond to me because i called Clark an idiot

i mean whether you take offense to the word stupid or not should really not bother me, but i try and keep everyone happy on this forum. i like to have good, heated but not angry, impersonal arguements, with no poster to poster name calling

but i think he was an idiot! i really can't say it any other way... and if that is how i feel i really shudn't be apologising for it, or trying to re word what i'm saying

if you no longer want to continue this discussion because i called Clark names, that's fine

[RedKRules]

I said a week ago Clark was going to act with hypocresy last night and I was right .... when he told Chloe that he was not going to let that memory go away .... I was like really Clark?? .... please don`t make me laugh at you farmboy!!

[unfocused]

if you no longer want to continue this discussion because i called Clark names, that's fine

Slander much? You can keep putting it that way if you'd like. But I know the truth is I don't want to continue a discussion if aggravated insults are the base of your argument, and the only way of "making your point." Previous post; prime example.

[disciples of zod]

when it comes to this, i sorta sit on the fence. i mean, chloe doesn't have to worry about clark anymore and worry about slipping up. then again, she was really trustworthy, and she wouldn't have revealed clark's secret to anyone.

on the other hand, it sux for clark because he has to hide the truth from chloe...again. yet i think sooner or later she'll figure it out...again!

That's almost just as bad as killing her. And why do they need to write her off? Yeah, I'm sure some would argue: 'well, she wasn't in the comics...' So? Smallville hasn't really followed the comics before. Why do it in this case? She can remain in the show until it ends. It's not like she'd suddenly have to appear in the Superman movies or anything. And the producers are fools if they think Smallville can survive without Chloe. I for one know I would stop watching. I'm not interested in seeing Lois and Clark: The Early Years. CHLOE is the one who has brought life to Smallville for the past eight years. Bouncing her character now would be downright stupid.

And as for her not getting her memory back; she had better! I can't believe they are doing this to Chloe. She deserves more respect than this! Like I said she's been the life of the show all these years, and to completely change/destroy her like this is horrible! :mad: She's not Chloe anymore. I want the real Chloe Sullivan back. I want to see her have a satisfying ending and not be tossed off the show like she hasn't mattered that much.

I agree that Chloe doesn't need to be written off, but I can't see any other reason for the mindwipe. Some are using it as evidence for Chlois, but since Chloe has had nothing to do with journalism this year and has been confirmed to be in love with Jimmy and not Clark, I don't see that happening. IMO, PS3 have shown nothing but disrespect for Chloe this season along with a burning desire to get this show to match up with mythos whether or not it matches up with the past seven years of the show. So I find it hard to be optimistic about Chloe's future this season. :\

I don't think the comics have anything to do with their decisions with Chloe, whether she was in them or not. From what I've seen so far, it looks to me like they aren't trying to write Chloe off, it seems more like they are writing her into a bigger and better story. A story we wouldn't have seen with the previous producers. Granted, this story, at the start, seems like they are just messing with the character and making a lot of people mad, but I truly believe the new PTB felt that Chloe's been too perfect for a few years too long, and it was time to rock her fandom. This doesn't mean they are going to write her off or kill her off, I think it actually means they are giving her an even more important and centered role this season.

I think this should be considered. As a Chloe fan, I fully welcome a change that will involve a bigger and better storyline for the character. I know it's hard for some people to accept, but maybe our new show runners just want to stir our emotions with bold writing. I'm going to give them a chance, you don't have to and that's perfectly fine. I just hope I may be right about this, I think I am.

[Fat Elvis 007]

but I truly believe the new PTB felt that Chloe's been too perfect for a few years too long, and it was time to rock her fandom.

I agree with you that Chloe has been "too perfect" for a while now, but I don't see how PS3 are doing anything to change this. She has been more of a pod person this season than ever before. The murder was clearly Brainiac's doing. I would like a return to the deeply flawed, but strong and well-meaning Chloe of the earlier seasons.

[tarrow21]

I think it's quite tragic in terms of the Clark/Chloe relationship - basically wiped away the last 4 yrs. Although after 'Bride', it's nice to see that Clark is still pretty normal around her. I expected him to not know how to act around her anymore.

But when I really think about it, it can be a good thing. The past 4 yrs of Chloe's life revolved around Clark. She basically didn't have a life of her own. Now she will.

I think since Brainiac has taken over her, she will probably regain the memories once they get Brainiac out.

[RedKRules]

Yes that is what I think as well, once Brainiac is out .... she will get her memories back :)

Hmmm....Interesting theory. I hadn't thought of it this way. I hope you're right. I wouldn't mind them rocking Chloe's character, and I'd welcome them giving Chloe her own important role, aside from being Clark's rock. As long as she ends up well and her memories of Clark are restored! *Hoping*

[chloefanforever2007]

I didn´t like it, but I do hope it is not permanent!

[SacredK]

No, I didn't because it was back to the lies. Plus Chloe said she wouldn't trade the day she found out Clark's secret for anything. Clark should have respected that.

[orient_celts]

I couldn't believe Chloe's memories were erased. I also hope she will get it back because just as everyone said, those four years would be for nothing.

[Diego*Chloe]

but I truly believe the new PTB felt that Chloe's been too perfect for a few years too long.


That´s because they don´t know what to do with Chloe, i think that after the Lionel thing they ran out of ideas and well....O_o

And i do belive that now that Chloe does not know anymore she will get killed :/

[RedGigant]

In these ep. the writers are ruined the best relationship in the show. It started in Arrival when Clark confess to Chloe all about him and these reforce their friedship and the two protect each other from then. I think if they don't want these friendship became romance, don't need to remove the friendship. Now these are just erased.
These is specially cruel about Chloe, she don't can get never the love from Clark and she only get friendship and trust. But now she don't remember that she defined as "the best in her life".

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

No I did not like it...but I believe She will get it back though. Cause if not they totaly wasted 4 years.

[ChaosSV]

NO way!!!
to much history!!

[Azra-El]

I just so happened to be re-watching this episode right now, and I was thinking about Chloe's amnesia, and I was looking at this thread and thought I would comment. And then I realized that I actually started this thread a long time ago, haha. Funny stuff :rotfl:

[Mars Investigations]

What really annoyed me about this storyline was that Clark never faced any consequences for the fact that he erased someone's memory.

[Hopefulsuicide]

What really annoyed me about this storyline was that Clark never faced any consequences for the fact that he erased someone's memory.

ditto...

he did it, a couple of episodes later she remembered everything again, except the fact he'd done it, and it was all washed under the carpets...

what is the point of a storyline that never gets a conclusion?

[honsou]

It might be good for Chloe in the "danger sense", and "burden wise", but think about her loss for the past 4 years!
Practically every memory she has had with Clark, has involved his secret! Helping him COUNTLESS times, saving lives, making a difference and growing closer as friends is all GONE now! And replaced by what? The sense that Clark is hiding something again, and doesn't trust her??
It's like they are back to square 1, and not at ALL as close anymore. Chloe even said the day she found out, changed her life for the BETTER, because she made a difference in the world....... now that's gone too.
Terrible decision.

As a Chloe fan, I fully welcome a change that will involve a bigger and better storyline for the character. I know it's hard for some people to accept, but maybe our new show runners just want to stir our emotions with bold writing. In my opinion it has NOTHING to do with bold writing. They are actually doing the opposite: "Hey, anyone got ideas? No.... okay then, let's wipe her memory and start over!" That's not bold, that's just starting over, without really thinking it through.

1: If all her memories for the past 4 years with Clark (using/talking abilities), have been wiped, that means she's only been with Clark for a handful of times in 4 years..... which means: not much friendship, not really close at all. He would be more like an acquiantance!

2: If all those memories were manipulated by Jor El, so she remembers BEING with him, but nothing about abilities, what DOES she remember? 300 movie nights with Clark? Again: not really a growing friendship.

It's pretty clear they didn't think this through, not bold writing at all, more like desperate writing.
