Chloe's response to Clark: As long as I'm around...

[davidbrenton]

Chloe: I want you to do the right thing. Know that I'd understand.
Clark: Well, that's not gonna happen as long as I'm around.

CHLOE: LOOKS DISAPPOINTED AND WORRIED AS IF SHE KNOWS DIFFERENTLY.


Is this foreshadowing? Yay, or Nay?

[Iluvgreen]

No. Clark will not kill Chloe ever.

[davidbrenton]

No. Clark will not kill Chloe ever.

I don't mean kill her, just "have to" choose not to save her in order to save someone or sombody's else.

[AndiGirl]

I thought it was more forshadowing for the show down between Clark and Dooms.
Clark saying "as long as I'm around."

That just screamed...to me atleast. That maybe one day Clark wont be around, or in the position to be the hero. If Clarks dying....he will have little say in whether Chloe sacrifices her own life to save him...and help the greater good.

Thats what I got from it. :)

[luvinChlark]

Hmm. I think Chloe knows what Clark did for her. And maybe she fears something else is coming. Like the Doomsday/Clark battle. (Of which I got from what Rokk was saying to Clark at the end too.) Chloe wants to know Clark needs to do whats right for the world if he can't save her.
In my opinion, I think this convo was more of a tease to the audience of what could happen. Not exactly foreshadowing her actual death. Referring to the Doomsday arc, Chloe will/could be in serious danger. But Clark/S-man won't kill her, it's just not his style. At least that's how I saw him in Legion. :)

[vyperman7]

They handled Johnathan's death the same way. They kept hinting at it all through out season five up until it actually happened. In Legion, not only did the Legion members hint at it by saying "Maybe Chloe's death inspires Kal-El to take flight" but there was also the conversation with Chloe and Clark near the end of the episode. Now I am not saying it will happen this season. However, I do feel that Chloe will most likely get killed off by the end of the series.

[Vindellavon]

Well, cliche always did say end it all with death. :(

[Demien]

Yes

[RedKRules]

Well many hidden death messages have been told on this show ..... if they were all leading to the grave... everyone should be dead by now :lol:, I just don´t think Chloe will die at all.

Exactly. What if he's NOT around anymore? What if he's off fighting? ;)

[Marissa]

I'm afraid so.. I was just thinking the same thing.

I hope I'm wrong :D

[cygnusx1]

maybe this is the heart wrenching decision clark has to make at the end of the season if there is a season 9

[optinox]

Well it could be foreshadowing chloes death. In legion they were mind boggled as to why chloe sullivan was never heard of in the history books, they even thought up reasons why she was never heard of. Maybe the intend to keep chloe till the end, and maybe she becomes the reason why clark becomes superman. Think about it, out of all people except lana, clark has saved or been there for chloe more than anyone, in reference to clarks kryptonian herritage and his secret, they are much closer than anyone, they have more of a bond, and chloe understands how important clarks destiny is more so than he does right now.

Throughout smallville chloe has always told clark, he can't save everyone, and sometimes sacrafice one life to save billions is worth it. Even in 'legion' they said maybe chloe death is what pushes him to fly. So my thought was because chloe isn't in the comics, and since legion made reference to that and they took the time to show that they were thinking of reasons why clark can't fly, and why chloe hasn't been talked about. Maybe chloes death or as she's dying, or in a moment of despair is what pushes clark to fly and eventually go on to train with Jor-El and accept he was destined to be a hero, aka superman. Thats my guess, as much as i'd like A.M not to be killed off, she's not with jimmy in the movie/comics so maybe she becomes the inspiration for clark to fly and go onto become superman.

[Bizarrolover]

I think the 'as long as I'm around' has to do with doomsday. We know he kills Clark, and Rokk warned Clark to be careful in the days to come, so I gues it's that. Maybe Doomy kills Clark, resulting then in Chloe's death, and that is what finally inspires Clark to become Superman, like the guys from the legion said.

[Hopefulsuicide]

why does her death mean she wouldnt be in the history books. jonathan died and he's still remembered. seriously why would the death of Clark's best friend, Jimmys wife, and Lois' cousin result in her being forgotten, especially if it pushes Clark too his destiny

I am thinking this could be "heroic send-off" at the end of session or Series, because I think that heartbreaking decision for Clark to move on to the next phase have relation with LOIS

[Vindellavon]

Bingo. Chloe Sullivan's death certificate has been pending since S3, and it was signed just last season! But she's back, and now once again her death certificate is pending. Doomsday is here, and now Clark's death certificate is pending, Tess is attempting to screw over Lex and her's isn't that far off either. The same goes for Lana, Lois, and like RedK said, every other character on Smallville, plus Davis! Truth is, we don't know who's going to kick the can, not till the last moment of the very last episode of the season.

[morena]

when I heard Chloe I remebered Siren. It shows that Chloe knows the importance and is well with that of Clark to save the world, contrasted with Edlois said in Siren, which desere a man who put the first place, which she can't share a hero with the world, can't be second priority

[zorasuperman]

I think that chloe will probably get killed off; perhaps not now in season 8 but by season 9 i could see that happening.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Foreshadowing for Clark maybe.

Maybe it's Clark's death that inspires Chloe to take flight. :lol:

[Mickey_Bickey]

She certainly wasn't talking past tense in that conversation. I'm wondering if she does know something. There was definitely a concerned look on her face. It's not like Chloe to keep secrets though, but they wouldn't have thrown that line in there if it wasn't going to be tied into something in the upcoming episodes.

[optinox]

why does clark have to die by DD, just because thats what happened in the original comic doesn't mean thats what has to happen. Why duplicate the scenario twice, once pre-superman and again later as superman....makes no sense to me. Would just show clark being weak, given the fact if they had him die twice. Second, the other storyline is that he didnt' die, but went into a coma like state, briefly explained in the Superman:Doomsday movie, which is the version i go by. Thats like saying, well the superman today isn't the real superman cause i prefer Pre-Crisis superman cause his power levels were much higher, everyone has there preference, and theres no set rule to which one to go by. I'd really hate to see clark die by DD, i think its the most unoriginal idea ever, he's used the death/near death card too many times. Unless clark gets hurt, chloe heals him, she starts dying, and she tells him "clark you can do it, you can fly", basically a short heartfelt talk, and thats what pushes clark to fly. I can see chloe written off, but not till the end of the series. If DD was never suppose to come to earth because brainiac altered history, then its not the upcoming events that are the reasons the losh don't know who chloe is, maybe superman never mentions her for personal reasons. Had DD not came, and brainiac not changed history, the losh would still not know who chloe is...so its possible she could die but not because of events that brainiac set forth in motion.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

why does clark have to die by DD

PS3 basically said that it's why they brought Doomsday on the show.

[optinox]

PS3 basically said that it's why they brought Doomsday on the show.

Yes they brought DD on the show because they said "DD is the only villain known to have killed superman", that doesn't mean thats what they intend to do. Clark for one isn't superman yet, second if PS3 already knows that superman dies/or goes into a coma after fighting DD, then why would they duplicate the story...so clark can die, get transported back to the fortess, revive, train with Jor-El, become superman, battle DD a 2nd time and have the same scenario happen again, its very unoriginal. If anything clark shouldn't die, and should defeat DD, so that way when they fight the 2nd time, DD has adapted/evolved and superman has much more harder time with him to the point they both collapse in the end.

[susangail]

Yeah, I thought that even in the comics, Doomsday killed Superman the second time around. And even after Superman came back to life, he went on to fight Doomsday a few more times. It actually got a little easier for Superman after Doomsday evolved enough to feel fear.

I agree that Chloe knows something. Maybe about Doomsday and Brainiac's original plan.

[Cage]

Foreshadowing for Clark maybe.

Maybe it's Clark's death that inspires Chloe to take flight. :lol:

I thought that I was the only one who thought that LOL:rotfl:

[Saturn Girl]

Because Chloe has been such an important part of the show, if she's to die at all then they should make that as part of the climatic series' ( not season) finale. We'd all be in tears (well most of us) and it would underscore the drama in seeing Clark finally don the suit.

Throw in Doomsday JLA, LoS and Kara have Chloe die a la' Supergirl in Infinite Earth (Infinite Crisis or whatever its called) and you have all the high drama and angst you could ever hope for.

[Billy Jor-El]

Getting in late on threads, but here's my take on Chloe.

Did you notice the opening scene with the wrecked decorations? We did not see Jimmy's name on the banner, it said, as far as we could see...." To the future....Chloe...."

I am thinking that Chloe will end up with the Legion ring, and in order to otherwise save Clark will end up traveling to the 31st century to do so, a one-way trip. She will indeed become The Protector. How will they explain such a thing with Jimmy? I don't know, and I hope I'm OK even talking about this on this board. Although it is my speculation, I do not want to read the "spoilers and speculation" pages, I do not want any true spoilers. K-den?
