View Full Version : This Time Reversal's Consequence

The last time it happened, someone close to Clark dies. This sounds like a whole deja vu thing again isn't it? Will it be someone whom we all know, someone who will happen to end up being slaughtered by Doomy?? :confused::confused::confused:

Here's a place to debate what will eventually be the consequence of Clark reversing time.
We all know "Reckoning," and how the whole life force thing was started in "Hidden" and then in "Reckoning" we saw a timeline in which Lana died, and then Clark reversed time to save her, ultimately resulting in the death of his father in a secondary timeline. However, in the first timeline Lois almsot died but was saved by Lana, and in the second timeline she almost died and was saved by Clark, symbolizing that Clark and Lois were destined to be together in both timelines.
In this episode, I don't think its coincidience that Clark (stupidly, I might add) slid the ring on at the exact moment that Lois exclaimed she had something important to tell Clark, which was that of Doomsday being destined to kill him.
However, now that we've gone back in time, we see that Chloe no longer knows that Davis is Doomsday, and since he found an alternate means of controlling his double identity, his course of future will not involve him telling that to Chloe.
It's no coincidence Chloe pointed out the "consequences" that in the Smallville 'verse always occur following a time reversal.
Towards the final scene with the Chlark discussion of the consequences, something in the way that the music and cameras worked to "thud" around Chloe makes me think that since she is now unaware of Davis' destiny and intentions, Chloe will die later on in the season as a result of Clark's decision to travel back in time, and she will die through the outcome of the Doomsday storyline.

I believe Davis, through the end scene, discovered that he can (temporarily?) tame the beast within by killing or hurting people as himself. So that might eventually come back to get Clark.

I don't think he would lie about that. Or if he did, we would have a scene where Clark pulled out the ring when he was alone so the audience knew he had lied.

Maybe Clark should have waited to hear what Lois was saying before he put the ring on.

I think you're on to something there that Chloe is going to die at the end of this season. That's why Garth had no memory of her! Last time it was his dad who died, & his mom is already off the show, and Lois isn't going to die--I think somehow Doomsday will be destroyed at the end of this season (maybe J'onn J'onzz will do it), & Chloe will be killed in the process. That's just my guess, so it's not really a spoiler, is it? What do I know?

Well I think the consequence is definitely going to have to do with Chloe/Clark/Doomsday.
Lois got the voicemail from Chloe and was trying to tell Clark when he did the ring/time reversal thing. Therefore, he didn't hear what Chloe's message was about. He could have used that information for the near future. Things just don't bode well right now for Chloe...or Clark.:( There will be a devastating consequence that both will have to pay.:(:eek:

I just don't see how it's going to play any different.
1) Davis turns into Doomsday.
2) Davis hurts/kills Chloe, because he's obsessed with her and she always seems to be around him.
3) Clark figures out Davis is Doomday & vice versa.
4) They have an epic battle.
All four of these are still going to happen. The consequence is on the viewers. If Clark hadn't reversed time, we would seen this play out in "Turbulence" and this arc would have been over in the next episode.
Now, we have to sit through about FIVE more episodes of this story to get to the same ending.

Hey anyone else notice that the second time around Clark was able to pick Lois up? What happened to the lives he was saving.... could Linda Lake be testing him and since she was in the containment, couldn't do that the second time ago?

He didn't save her in this reality/timeline, either. By the time Lois got the message, she was probably already dead.
Also, he wasn't going to rush off to save her, because Chloe didn't say she was in danger. She just gave Lois the message that Davis was Doomsday. Lois was just saying, "Hey guess what? Davis is Doomsday." She wasn't saying, "Go save Chloe."
Chloe is dead, either way, I guess.

BINGO! I think this is the big consequence and I think we will be able to see the ramifications more clearly in later episodes and of course that this will delay his full transformation. I'm sure part of it is that Clark did not hear Lois say that Davis is Doomsday so again everything is moved back.

I think that if people had a question as to who the two deaths would be in the finale, there should be no question now. "Reckoning". "Doomsday". Eerily similar titles that are often synonymous with one another. I already see many similarities in the set-ups for both episodes. I see the end result being similar as well, the loss of a long-time series regular. The reason they cut from the Chloe/Doomsday confrontation without going back? History will repeat itself in the finale. They're gonna spend a lot more time on it in between now and then so it'll be much more involved. I think Chloe will be killed at Doomsday's hand, and I think Davis doing that to the one person who hoped against hope that he could be helped essentially kills Davis Bloome, leaving only Doomsday.

I think its simpler then that. Cause before Clark altered time Davis was getting Chloe to warn Clark that he was Doomsday. Clark may have been able to prevent the ultimate rampage that is going to occur when Davis finally loses control. Chole may or may not be collateral damage in this, but now there is no warning and Doomsday is going mess up Metropolis looking for Clark. With Davis's warning that could have been avoided.
We all know Chloe has no place in the Superman mythos that we all know, but I would like to see her live as someone on here speculated by changing her identity at Clarks insistence when he becomes superman to protect her.

Last time Clark went back it was to stop a death... that death was what Jorel said someone else would die to balance it.
No one died the first time around this time, so I think no one needs to die to even it out.

Jor-el said Clark "the universel will find the way to get the balance" What is it mean?
It something happen one time in one lifetime sooner or later everything returns to happen again (Butterfly efects)
We all know "Reckoning," and how the whole life force thing was started in "Hidden" and then in "Reckoning" we saw a time line in which Lana died
And Lex was responsible of it, The die is one strong and definitely way to put people or animals apart one of the others. "In requiem" Lex could separate of definitive way to Lana for Clark, indeed Requiem is almost a synonymous of death. (the balance was got)
and then Clark reversed time to save her, ultimately resulting in the death of his father in a secondary time line. However, in the first time line Lois almost died but was saved by Lana, and in the second timeline she almost died and was saved by Clark, symbolizing that Clark and Lois were destined to be together in both timelines.
this a good sample for what I said before with the difference that for me in this case more than Calrk and Lois be destine to be together, means that it was not the Lois' time to die yet.
In this episode, I don't think its coincidence that Clark (stupidly, I might add) slid the ring on at the exact moment that Lois exclaimed she had something important to tell Clark, which was that of Doomsday being destined to kill him.
it thought that if time in reverting the situation were delayed more atrocities could happen in between. Plus the mention of the ring destruction was more to US (fans) than Chloe, Like Guys forget it if you think the season finale would be reverted by the Ring...
However, now that we've gone back in time, we see that Chloe no longer knows that Davis is Doomsday, and since he found an alternate means of controlling his double identity, his course of future will not involve him telling that to Chloe.
Chloe is the SMARTEST girl in the show and in Eternal she is going to connect 2 +2 but the difference will be 2:
1.- she will keep the whole true about D/DD far away to Clark, in order to protect David
2.- she will try to help David to Control DD, and handle the only way to control is Killing people ( We Saw that today, bye-bye pills, welcome bad boys to deserve to be death :eek:) Because she is deep down Protecting Clark, He lost the first round with DD.
adding to this
When David Knows who is the other Kryptonian, the beast wins to David run. When the beast took the control Chloe was in BIG danger, and Clark Was not there to help (Legion- Prey, references) We did see if she was or not Killed by Doomsday... that is the Tricky point, But forme she is stink...
Other point. From this episode time turn consecuenses gave to GA/Olli, Jimmy and Tess the oportunity to be save for now...
what do you think???

Well said! Here here! I don't like where they've taken her character this season, but I really hope Chloe doesn't die :(. I think the quality of the show would take a nosedive.
First off, I don't think the consequence necessarily needs to be a death. That's how it was the first time around because Jor-el needed to nick someone's life force to save Clark, but there's no real rule that time travel = dead people. Saying "there's always consequences" here is kind of like telling your younger brother he shouldn't try to hitchhike across Brazil. It's really dangerous, and something will probably go wrong, but it's not as if there's a clear-cut rule or tradeoff like there was with Jor-el in Reckoning.
If it were a cosmic balance kind of thing, I don't see why Linda Lake couldn't be the consequence. A life is a life, no matter who it is.

chloe will never EVER be remebered as being apart of this mytho by anyone but smallville fans, not superman comic/movie fans not anyone whose followed the story for a long time. Only smallville fans and I think its safe to say that smallville fans don't outnumber superman fans lol. chloe is just that person who people will ask "who the hell is this and why is she in this story?" like Ive been asking every single season lmao. and on top of that smallville is just smallville, a TV show - nothing special like a big screen movie would be, you'll never see chloe in that though :)

Oh there will be consequences baby.
Rewatch the final Chlark and listen closely to the score. An inspirational tune plays during the convo about Lois and his identity. But when Chloe wonders if something will change in the timeline because of the time travel the music turns ominous as the camera zeros in on her face, then Clark's face.
Before the time travel Davis learned Clark's secret, but was rejected by Chloe when he confided in her, and his secret was told to Clark who would have been able to stop his future murders. But now in the current timeline Davis has discovered a way to postpone his metamorphosis. This change in the timeline now gives him more time to win Chloe's trust so that should he confess his secret later in the season she may have a completely different reaction this time and choosing to keep his secret, leading to all kinds of terror.

It's no coincidence Chloe pointed out the "consequences" that in the Smallville 'verse always occur following a time reversal.
Towards the final scene with the Chlark discussion of the consequences, something in the way that the music and cameras worked to "thud" around Chloe makes me think that since she is now unaware of Davis' destiny and intentions, Chloe will die later on in the season as a result of Clark's decision to travel back in time, and she will die through the outcome of the Doomsday storyline.
ITA. But I think what was also highlighted in Reckoning and will happen again this time is that the things that were meant to be will happen regardless of the change of timeline. As you pointed out, Lois was saved both times in Reckoning. Even in Apocalypse that was an AU with a different timeline because Clark never came to earth, we still saw Lois and Jimmy in their places at the DP with Lois still single because her 'soul-mate' had never come to earth. Chloe was also happy in that timeline, as was Lana, but was Chloe happy and alive because by not coming to earth Clark hadn't brought Doomsday with him?
So I think she was killed in Infamous in the first timeline and Clark saved her when he used the Legion ring (also telling that he didn't go back and change the Lana outcome I felt) and I think it does foreshadow her death in this timeline. The only difference will be the chain of events that lead up to it...
I thought she died this time around? Didn't Doomsday kill her in that car? Why wouldn't he? Clark turning back time actually brought Chloe back to life.
I thought the consequence was that Linda Lake was killed by Doomsday.
I just don't see how it's going to play any different.
1) Davis turns into Doomsday.
2) Davis hurts/kills Chloe, because he's obsessed with her and she always seems to be around him.
3) Clark figures out Davis is Doomday & vice versa.
4) They have an epic battle.
All four of these are still going to happen. The consequence is on the viewers. If Clark hadn't reversed time, we would seen this play out in "Turbulence" and this arc would have been over in the next episode.
Now, we have to sit through about FIVE more episodes of this story to get to the same ending.
ITA Sana and this is how I saw it too. Though in fairness when it comes to the number two on your list I think that Chloe's reaction to the news that Davis was sent to kill Clark and how fast she ran away and the fact she contacted Lois to tell her might all change in this timeline. Yes she's obsessed with him, but in the first timeline it was a much more immediate reaction. By not knowing who Doomsday was sent to kill, she may just see a meteor infected type victim similar to Bette except in this case she has an emotional connection to him as well. By removing the 'sent to kill Clark' part of the equation she might make different decisions. But ITA it will have the exact same outcome.
Consequence=Clark not being able to save Chloe from Doomsday in his reality/timeline.
Poor Chloe. Great Season Finale.
Thing is we don't know if he would have saved her in the old one either. If he hadn't then either way he would know it was something that was meant to be and no matter what he did he couldn't have stopped it. This way, once again I fear we have a Clark who will blame himself for the outcome, even if he had very little to do with it beyond bringing a hitch-hiker with him on his way to earth.
Unfortunately, I think you're right. Nothing good ever comes out of a time change/reset (at least on SV). I know he was trying to 'make things right', but still. I'm afraid this is going to bite him in the butt harder than Reckoning.
Yeah that's what I think too :( Timelines, AU's... when Clark interferes it doesn't have a good outcome...
Oh there will be consequences baby.
Rewatch the final Chlark and listen closely to the score. An inspirational tune plays during the convo about Lois and his identity. But when Chloe wonders if something will change in the timeline because of the time travel the music turns ominous as the camera zeros in on her face, then Clark's face.
Before the time travel Davis learned Clark's secret, but was rejected by Chloe when he confided in her, and his secret was told to Clark who would have been able to stop his future murders. But now in the current timeline Davis has discovered a way to postpone his metamorphosis. This change in the timeline now gives him more time to win Chloe's trust so that should he confess his secret later in the season she may have a completely different reaction this time and choosing to keep his secret, leading to all kinds of terror.
ITA Cedric. I think the writing has been on the wall for a while now. If not it's one heck of a lot of effort to put into a false trail.

I thought the consequence was that he went back in time right before finding out about Doomsday....

Chloe dying is not a ocnsequence (or would not be) of the time reversal. She died before Clark reversed time.
If anything, if Cloe does die in both versions, it woudl show that some things are just meant to be.

70 YEARS AGO, Lana, Perry White and Pete had no place in the Superman mythos.
Today, they have a place. Chloe deserves a place.
Why Allison was acclaimed at the Last Superman Convention at Metropolis.
Why DC bought the right on the character of Chloe. It's certainly not to erase the character.
Maybe not in the Superman lore but she could easily be integrated in to the (comic book ) Green Arrow series or JLA one or Bird's of Prey series, now that Barbra Gordon is going back to her roots as Batgirl someone is going to need to fill out the role of Oracle.

I think Clark will die as a result of the time reversal

the consequence in reckoning was because clark went back in time to stop a death so stopping a death caused another. this one he wasnt preventing anything he just didnt want to be hunted down and found out. guess if you want to think about it the consequence for this time travel was linda lake being killed by davis. also clark not learning that davis is doomsday. if he learned that beforehand and went back in time he could of done something but now he wont find out cause davis wouldnt find out he is the kryptonian and clark will be too late when davis becomes full on doomsday.
