Chloe - Watchtower

[Chlollie]

Chloe has join the JL.

Dam I pick the wrong one on the poll, I mean yes.

[THE"Lurker"]

Ok so i figured i'd come out of hiding for this. Most of us have thought this would or hope it would happen.

I for one though it was cool the way they introduced her as 'The Official Watchtower' of the JLA.

Very cool way to end the sode

Thoughts.......?

[hyped4lnc]

I absolutely love it. If we were not getting a season nine, I could see a spin off for her and Ollie.

[dreamsofnever]

I'm so happy about that! She seems like she's found a purpose in life again.

And I must say... I dug the Chloe/Oliver interaction tonight. If only she wasn't going through a divorce... *sigh*

[nede]

i thought it was very cool!....lol...im all excited!...

as long as she is still a part of clarks life...becuz if she's not then i wouldnt like that...i wood prefer her to b in clark/superman life than 2 b in JL, if tats the case

['Tonio09]

im sooooo excited!!!!!! go watchtower!!!!! :) :) :)

[Alexander III]

If she's gone back to being a reporter, that means she'll be living under Lois's shadow once again...I'm glad she has found a goal and purpose in life now, WATCHTOWER GO GO GO!!!

['Tonio09]

I'm so happy about that! She seems like she's found a purpose in life again.

And I must say... I dug the Chloe/Oliver interaction tonight. If only she wasn't going through a divorce... *sigh*

I agree! Hopefully this is a foreshadow of her and Oliver having lots more scenes together next season!

Clark is/will be a JL member so they would be in each other's life as teammates.


I'm glad she joined. Its correspond more to what Chloe has been doing in the past than being a counsellor. She will be fighting the bad guys.

[AndiGirl]

I'm so happy about that! She seems like she's found a purpose in life again.

I did a girly squeel! :lol:
I was so thrilled when they were doing their call off, and the way she said "lets get to work." Priceless!!!

ITA, the banter between Chloe and Ollie....I cant lie, it was kinda hot! :eek::p

[Forney2414]

I started thinking she could be watchtower once the JL was introduced. This is awesome because now we know Chloe can't and won't die. :)

['Tonio09]

i started thinking she could be watchtower once the jl was introduced. This is awesome because now we know chloe can't and won't die. :)


she better not!!! Not after this!!!

[roccanater]

I thought that was cool. Nice scene.

[snookie16]

I loved that Chloe got a direction again and now she's the offical watchtower. Also I love how this is her leaving the past behind. It seems that they might be going full ahead with Chloe and Oliver. I have to watch things again.

[Dresden]

Yep. That was pretty cool and for the first time all season in those last 2 minutes with Ollie, Chloe did NOT annoy me and I actually found myself liking her once more. :)

[Var-Zol]

Folks, keep in minjd, she might be working with MM on the actual JLA Watchtower that was shown in the end of Justice and Doom, it was built by Virgil Swann! :)

['Tonio09]

I did a girly squeel! :lol:
I was so thrilled when they were doing their call off, and the way she said "lets get to work." Priceless!!!

I didnt squeal,I did a very manly "YEAH!!" and nearly knocked over my computer!! :rotfl:

[AndiGirl]

Yep. That was pretty cool and for the first time all season in those last 2 minutes with Ollie, Chloe did NOT annoy me and I actually found myself liking her once more. :)

Yay!!! :D

[individuall]

I LOVE Chloe as Watchtower! :D

Go Chloe!

[AndiGirl]

I didnt squeal,I did a very manly "YEAH!!" and nearly knocked over my computer!! :rotfl:

:lol: Well....you gotta keep it manly! ;)

[Sports72Xtrm]

I'm indifferent to it. But atleast on the bright side Chloe serves a purpose on the show other than to tell Clark how to run his life.

[ZODisGOD]

that was a good ending

[Darth Pipes]

Chloe as Watchtower is awesome. It's a worthy position for her.

[kryptotrite]

Good for Chloe. NO reason to want to be Lois anyway.

[Saturn Girl]

Go Watchtower go! No wonder the Legion never heard of Chloe Sullivan.... History knows her as "Watchtower!" Now I really don't want her character killed off.

[eas]

OK, I just have to say that I REALLY enjoyed that ending scene. The music... how cool Chloe looked. I wish they'd gotten Chloe to this point WELL before this point. (I don't think that the marriage to Jimmy was needed to have Chloe reach this epiphany.)

Even my husband - who is a sporadic viewer, at best -- said that it was a cool scene & that it made sense with Chloe.

[Lauren_17]

Me and my sister squeeled through the whole episode. I loved the yellow glow at the end of the ep. It was brilliant. I love Smallville.

[thehenry89]

I'm glad they finally found something for chloe to do.

[tyson08]

Absolutely! It's excellent news and I'm anticipating more!

[AndiGirl]

ITA Eas

I wish this would have happend along time ago! :) (Even though I'm still worried about where they are taking Chloes character....but I wont dwell on that right now. :\)

She just seemed so happy, and finally like she found her place.
The music definitely added alot to the scene too!

['Tonio09]

Go Watchtower go! No wonder the Legion never heard of Chloe Sullivan.... History knows her as "Watchtower!" Now I really don't want her character killed off.

:D :D

[chlo-el]

I was sooooo excited. Go Chloe! Chloe is embracing her heroness completely. Go Chloe! Let the past in the past and embrace the future! Woot! Woot!

['Tonio09]

:lol: Well....you gotta keep it manly! ;)

LOL!!

[Cyn]

Gotta say I totally approve of Chloe being made Watchtower for real. The PTB have officially named her now. That's cool.

[WickedJenn]

I agree, I wish they'd had her delving more into this much earlier and cut the Brainiac possession shorter. I'm glad that this is the epiphany they chose for her.

[dru-zod2501]

I'm so proud of Chloe tonight. New purpose was just what she needed

[theotherJane]

I thought for sure it was going to be something Jimmy related, but this is even better. I loved it!

[chlo-el]

Go Watchtower go! No wonder the Legion never heard of Chloe Sullivan.... History knows her as "Watchtower!" Now I really don't want her character killed off.

Exactly. They just thought it was a place. They probally heard how smart "The Watchtower" was. They might've been confused when they heard it was pretty.

[ginnyfan]

I was happy that Chloe joined on as Watchtower but also kind of confused. It seemed a little redundant. Wasn't she already Watchtower? But I guess now it's official and full time. It was cool.

[cloisthelegendbegins]

I LOVED the ending and I'm so glad that Chloe is officially Watchtower now :)

[Supsfan]

Personally I think they should have brought Martian Manhunter or Mr Terrific to fill that role, but oh well.

[davidbrenton]

Very happy here. She found her own way in the world. And is a prime candidate to lead a spin-off.

[abbaspice1]

Very cool!

[chlo-el]

Word. So much word. Chloe didn't need to get married to Jimmy for this. But I'm glad she finally embraced who she is. She is not Jimmy's wife. She's the Watch Tower.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

Go Watchtower! :D

[chlo-el]

Very happy here. She found her own way in the world. And is a prime candidate to lead a spin-off.

YAY! I'm so watching that spin off!

trust i think it's a good direction, because it felt like her charecter started becoming bland a bit

[SuperTal]

Yeah! It's about time!! Hope she survives the finale!!

[VisionGirl]

I always assumed she still worked with them. But, yeah, it's a good fit for her.

[Night_Hawk90]

meh i dont want to be hounded but i hated the ending i dont think chloe deserves to be watchtower imho

[Chlollie]

Watchtower! Yes,

[chlo-el]

meh i dont want to be hounded but i hated the ending i dont think chloe deserves to be watchtower imho

She totally deserves it! She's been through heck. And she's always supposrting superheoreos and now she's just embracing it. Go Chloe. I always knew she was a hero.

[Melekith]

Watchtower...ONLINE.

Chloe rocked my socks when she said that.

[NinaDavis]

meh i dont want to be hounded but i hated the ending i dont think chloe deserves to be watchtower imho

I agree! Bring MM to this role!!

[ClarkyBoy14]

I'm glad she's the Watchtower now. She was great in that role in "Justice," so it's good that she's doing it again.

[crush41gb]

I loved it. This season is just so much better and more fulfilling. It's difficult to watch the earlier seasons. Grrreat job everyone! Oh, and I am so in love with Lois.. just had to put that out there ;).

[Karafan1]

I loved that scene! Looks like they are starting the build up to "Doomsday"

[haydenclaireheroes]

Ok so i figured i'd come out of hiding for this. Most of us have thought this would or hope it would happen.

I for one though it was cool the way they introduced her as 'The Official Watchtower' of the JLA.

Very cool way to end the sode

Thoughts.......?

in the end of justice in season 6 the green arrow had asked both chloe and clark if they wanted to join the team. They both said no they had unfinished bussiness to do. What was the bussiness i think for chloe it was to find herself but she ended up getting lost and lossing her way. i said this in another post for the last episode turbulence and i said i was disappointed in chloe. I said that she was like midevil times when people thre rocks at people when they did wrong. I felt chloe had been pelted with rocks and kicked in the dirt. She had been hurt bleeding. It was hard for her to get up. Put this episode she had healed gotten up people were throwing rocks but she would not stay down. in the beginning of this episode she was the same girl in the last episode she was alone thought she made to many mistakes. she rather be anyone besides her self. Than we see the gift from clark the book of the wierd and unexplanable. We saw a little of the old chloe the chloe everyone loved. As the episode went along we saw our old chloe. she taught clark how to use his power like in season 4 when he forgot. This episode we saw things of the past without seeing flashbacks. It was great in the end chloe feels comfortable in her own skin. She finnally relizes those things in the past should be left in the past. So she makes a new better life for herself and that was to become part of the justice league. We see chloe invincible and for the present and the future i dont think anyone kick her were she was before.

i absolutely love it. If we were not getting a season nine, i could see a spin off for her and ollie.

If she's gone back to being a reporter, that means she'll be living under Lois's shadow once again...I'm glad she has found a goal and purpose in life now, WATCHTOWER GO GO GO!!!


In the episode we saw chloe always wanting to save people but always was on the side lines now she has a meaning and now she can be in the action. who says you need powers to be a hero.

[jmf1977]

My first reaction was *yawn* - been there done that. But on second thought I'm glad Chloe has some direction. I'm just not on board with the whole idea yet. I'm not a Chloe basher by any means...I just think for Chloe to be so involved in the JL is kind of a stretch. Also, it's not necessarily true that the Legion never heard of Chloe Sullivan bc her code name is Watchtower. The Legion knows the true identities of Clark and I would assume other members of the JL. So this still needs to be explained.

I wish Chloe would be able to get a life/direction separate from Clark. I'm getting kind of sick of her and Clark having all of these heart to heart convos re his true destiny...blah blah blah. What's the difference between Lana becoming a superhuman to save people vs Chloe now taking on the role as Watchtower (please no harping on this I'm just asking) - other than the fact that some do not like Lana.

Finally, hopefully we get to see next week a true relationship between Clark and Lois as we know it to be. I know we won't see it right away, but for Chloe to be the only female right now in Clark's life that knows his secret cheapens the future iconic Clois relationship.

Someone still needs to post a plausible reasoning why, in Clark's view, that Chloe is perfectly safe knowing his secret yet Lois is not. I understand why TPTB made Chloe the only character to know for so long...they needed a crutch for Clark. But now for TPTB to still use this excuse is getting old.

[haydenclaireheroes]

I'm glad they finally found something for chloe to do.


some people thought that chloe's story should have ended in season 4 but from this episode her story has just begun.

[Amelie]

Chloe Sullivan is finally being who she was written to be and not a watered down version of another character. That was nice so yes I am excited that Chloe became the watchtower.

[nic25]

I actually liked it...its better than her wanting powers!

Chloe has a perpurse and this is making her seperate from clark more than ever before.
Also by the end of this season i think lois will know his secret.

[SGuthrie27]

I was PUMPED to see the return of Watchtower. WOO-HOOO!!! That's been the best news and development for Chloe in half a season. Finally, even though she's putting her reporter dream behind her, she's making her own mark in a big way by helping coordinate the efforts of the proto-Justice League.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[MAR-MAR]

All I can say is it is about time. Chloe as watchtower is wonderful. Seeing Oliver support her is great.

[Kschreck]

A lot of Chloe fans are angry about this and I'm certainly not one of them. Chloe started as THEE intrepid reporter and for a long time she really enjoyed doing this. As she got older though, you got a sense that she became more interested in helping people out as well as solving mysteries.

She then left the Daily Planet after Luthorcorp. took it over and spent a lot of effort harassing her over the course of a season or so. If I was in her position, I would have done the same.

Since Luthorcorp. STILL owns the Daily Planet and Chloe kind of have moved on, it only makes sense to me for her to accept the watchtower position. I just think it gives Chloe a great usefulness to the Smallville universe and I am beginning to speculate that the new set that is being created could indeed be a brand new command center for the Justice League and perhaps other heroes seeing how big of an importance superheroes (and supervillains) are taking in Smallville.

Season nine could very well have a large emphasis on two things:


-Superheroes coming together and fighting evil (maybe a spacestation to replace the Isis Foundation like in the comics)?
-Clark Kent becoming more like Superman


This is all theoretical but I totally see it being possible.

[SnowBird]

Chloe is a perfect choice for Watchtower and I'm happy for her:)

[kal-el_Girl]

Extremely happy that chloe is where's she is needed FINALLY someone needs her for a change!

[clois-destiny-forever]

Cool way to end the episode.

[origin]

I love Chloe as "Watchtower"

When she said "Watchtower is officially online" I got chills.

[xrayvision]

Just another sign of how incompetent the "superheroes" of this show are that they need a non-hero to make their missions possible. That role is supposed to be Martian Manhunter's since he has telepathy & can communicate with them without electronics.

:rolleyes:

[superspider02]

That was a sweet scene at the end of the episode with chloe becoming an official full time jl member.

[superman07]

YES! I'm glad she's official on as watchtower. she has true purpose again!

[cksidekick]

Watchtower is Online



On behalf of sidekicks everywhere, let me just say: Chloe Sullivan Rocks! :D

[SmallVille Fanatic]

That part was awesome. I can't to see how this goes. Oh does anyone know that song at the end? It fit pretty well with that scene.

[xrayvision]

As much of an insult to the "superheroes" of Smallville I thought that ending was, all I have to say is that unless they plan to have Oliver, Bart, Victor, Dinah, or AC in every episode left in the series so that Chloe can be "Watchtower", Chloe will be right back to mothering Clark the next time we see her.

[globalbudd3]

Well, I didn't find it suprising that she did. I always thought the show hinted at it.

She kind of reminded me of the role of Barbara Gordon as Oracle in Birds of Prey.

The question is how will she tell Jimmy of what she is doing?

ITA, chloe needs to live a life that is seperate of clark kent

[AgentChaos]

She won't. Chimmy is over and Chloe is leaving him behind.

[superjude]

I love, love, love that Chloe is Watchtower!!!! It is freakin awesome! I now just want that to continue. Chloe is now a member of the Justice League. How cool is that!!

To add to this, now she will have her own purpose in life again and they won't have her mothering Clark so much!!!

I would have to disagree...Clark isn't a full member of the justice league. Most likely she will be working with Oliver more than Clark. I think TBTB realize that Chloe needs to move on from being Clark's crutch and help others instead. Clark seems to be doing fine on his own these days...I don't think Chloe will interfere.

as much as i love chloe, but ur rite!

[xrayvision]

Well, I didn't find it suprising that she did. I always thought the show hinted at it.

She kind of reminded me of the role of Barbara Gordon as Oracle in Birds of Prey.

The question is how will she tell Jimmy of what she is doing?

Except Barbara Gordon was given realistic character development. After the Joket paralyzed her, she had nothing else to do, so she became heavily involved with technology and over time became Oracle.

Chloe on the other hand just happened to start hacking in season 5 after she was told Clark's secret in full and they decided to make Clark rely to an unnatural degree on her. She went overnight from a reporter to a hacker as we saw in Mortal. Chloe was never meant to be a hacker when the show started. She never received any training. I was able to buy the stuff she did when Brainiac was possessing her. But other than that, all her technological capabilities just popped out of nowhere. Prior to Mortal, Chloe had a web of contact whom she relied on to help her out with electronic devices.

This is what makes me so mad about Chloe. They took a reporter character who was written very realistically as I watch the first 3-4 seasons and turned her into what she was never meant to be after introducing Lois. At that point, they decided to have her character steal the roles of other characters. First it was Clark, with Chloe doing all the research & brainwork Clark used to do back in the earlier seasons (season 3 & before). Now it's the Martian Manhunter, who is the real Watchtower of the comics. I don't count Lois because she was here before Lois & Lois wasn't shown being into journalism back then.

I don't think there should even be a Watchtower because this isn't even the JLA. They never called themselves the JLA & this is just a precursor to it. The real JLA is headed by Clark/Superman, not Oliver Queen. I think they should just forget about making Chloe be part of the "superhero team" or have any Watchtower role at all. I like MM's role as Metropolis detective & don't think Oliver, Dinah, Bart, AC, Victor, etc should be on the show now, with this being a show about Clark, not those characters.

They have yet to show:

1. Clark fixing the FOS
2. Clark & Jor-El talking in depth about Doomsday
3. Tess' reaction to the file Jimmy left with her
4. Clark fighting someone at least half as powerful as Doomsday for some practice
5. The continuation of Oliver "killing" Lex & Chloe's involvement/knowledge of it


As for Chloe, I think they should have either done something believable with her back in season 5; something that would not intrude in the roles of other characters; or just killed her off. Because IMHO they're doing great damage to the show trying to find something for her to do and are ruining several characters just to avoid disappointing her fans. And it's bothering me how Superman fans, or fans who are in it to see Clark become Superman (and even the other heroes), are the ones getting consistently screwed and having their favorite heroes from the comics be continuously insulted (like sending the vibe that the team is not able to do their thing without Chloe watching over them, when they were clearly doing this offscreen continuously in season 6).

My personal preference for Chloe would have been for her to realize sometime in season 5 that she wasn't meant for journalism and to completely change her life around by joining the precursor of what would have been STAR Labs and being taken under the tutelage of a brilliant scientist (maybe Emil Hamilton) who would teach her things that she never knew that would be able to help Clark later on when he becomes Superman. Had they done this, they could have developed Chloe totally seperate & independent of Clark and it would have worked since she knew his secret. And I guarantee fans would have been happy with such a destiny. By doing this, Chloe would have been Clark's proxy to getting things analyzed by the experts at the STAR Labs precursor operation. And Chloe would have been given a chance to learn about alien technology as the experts analyzed the objects. This would have been a cool thing to involve Lex in as well. But instead, the writers chose the lazy, moronic way to write Chloe, Clark, and several other characters.

Just my $0.02.

[Storm45]

Well, I didn't find it suprising that she did. I always thought the show hinted at it.

She kind of reminded me of the role of Barbara Gordon as Oracle in Birds of Prey.

The question is how will she tell Jimmy of what she is doing?

They have separated so she doesn't owe him any explanations.

I think TBTB realize that Chloe needs to move on from being Clark's crutch and help others instead. Clark seems to be doing fine on his own these days...I don't think Chloe will interfere.

What I was trying to say was, how do they plan to include Chloe in the storyline of the remaining episodes if she's mainly going to be involved with Oliver & when Oliver won't be appearing in every episode?

[number8]

That ending was just so, awesome.

[AndiGirl]

[SGuthrie27]

I'll admit that in some ways this storyline does feel sort of "thrown on" to the end of a season, and it'll seem a bit "unnecessary" if it turns out that Chloe is the one to bite the big one in the season finale, but I don't think it's entirely out of left field. It's NOT been ONLY since Season 5 that Chloe's hacked into networks and such. She's been computer-savvy since the start of the show, and her research skills were second to none in terms of Smallville High, and then she continued to wow us with her ability to find out virtually anything once she was officially on the staff of the Daily Planet. Moving on up as the Watchtower seems more and more to me like a logical step for her, and I don't think it's at all silly or unimportant a job. The fact is that Martian Manhunter DOESN'T have his telepathy right now, so he CAN'T coordinate their efforts. And besides, it would be a bit of a taxing strain to keep in CONSTANT communication with ALL the Justice League members across the world. Besides, it helps to have someone off the field of battle to coordinate things so that if something happens to particular heroes during all the fighting, they have someone who can definitely call in for reinforcements.

Now all that being said, your idea was very inventive and interesting, xrayvision. I never would have thought of Chloe acting as a STAR Labs person, but I guess it would be another way for her to channel her desire to root out the unexplained and get to the bottom of the mysteries of the universe. Still, that's not the direction they decided to go, and may have been a little too "Fringe," if you know what I mean. Besides, I think it'll be a cool storyline if they play their cards right. It could even make a nifty spinoff series, in my humble opinion (and I think Chlollie would agree with me on that, eh?). ;)

Now all that being said, your idea was very inventive and interesting, xrayvision. I never would have thought of Chloe acting as a STAR Labs person, but I guess it would be another way for her to channel her desire to root out the unexplained and get to the bottom of the mysteries of the universe. Still, that's not the direction they decided to go, and may have been a little too "Fringe," if you know what I mean. Besides, I think it'll be a cool storyline if they play their cards right. It could even make a nifty spinoff series, in my humble opinion (and I think Chlollie would agree with me on that, eh?). ;)

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

If they can pull it off without having her be smug/cocky, I think I would be able to live with it. She gave me the impression in Justice like she was hot stuff and God's gift to the team.

[Sports72Xtrm]

I think her being watchtower has a lot of potential. I agree with what S.Gunthrie said. It'll be nice seeing MM being a field agent instead of research guy because he's an alien. However, what can Chloe do as watchtower every episode that Clark can't do for himself is what I'm curious about? Being Superman means being Super so there are very little Clark should need help with.

[Billy Jor-El]

Bob Dylan wrote it...Jimi Hendrix immortalized.....Chloe personifies it

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

GO CHLOE!!!!!!!

[amberdawn]

Sure, why not.

[AChloeChick]

I freaking LOVED it!

The last scene with her and Ollie rocked, especially when she looked right into the camera and said, Let's get to work!

AWESOME!

This, this is REAL Chloe and it's about darn time we got her back! The sheer determination and focus on her face as she put the ear piece in was so great.

WatchTower if officially online!

[lana 9]

i can not wait for more chloe watchtower i love that chloe is the watchtower go chloe

[borednow]

I'm glade she found something that makes her happy.

[drvr8]

I started thinking she could be watchtower once the JL was introduced. This is awesome because now we know Chloe can't and won't die. :)
this in no way guarantees a future when you are housing/supporting Doomsday.

But it was cool to see that though.

[zHeN_zHeN]

Yes, I've been waiting for Chloe to finally join! She's gonna kick a**! Go Chlo! :D

[AChloeChick]

Yes, I've been waiting for Chloe to finally join! She's gonna kick a**! Go Chlo! :D

Oh, she already kicked butt (espcially Jimmy's) Sorry, I just HAD to go there. It's the first time since the horror of last week's sting that I've been able to make light of it (glad Chimmy is over, but the way they handled it is despicable).

This just makes her kick butt even more!

[The Dark Knight74]

I like Chloe being Watchtower. Hope we see more of her in her new role later on this season and s9.

[Iluvgreen]

I am so freaking out right now!!!!!!!!!!

[AChloeChick]

I like Chloe being Watchtower. Hope we see more of her in her new role later on this season and s9.

Me too. However we have the whole possible death looming over her.

[The Dark Knight74]

Me too. However we have the whole possible death looming over her.

I know. I didn't wanna spoil anybody who didn't want to be spoiled.

[GENERALzod777]

That was the most bad@$$ ending of any episode. All i said was **** yeah!

[svtwamedfan05]

Wish she would have done this in the first place instead getting in over her head with Davis

[OkiyaShuichi]

I love that scene !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Kryptochloe]

Ok, don't get me wrong.. I loooove the Watchtower job for Chloe. But..
it is just me or she didn't sound and look like the real Chloe??? I don't know, but when I saw her on that last scene, it gave me this strange feeling....:confused:

[skugers]

I'm not that happy. It's only my opinion but I think she won't be JL Watchtower for long.
Things will happen...
And I agree, she was quite strange in the end...

[AndyBear1980]

I've been a bit disappointed this year with the Chloe storyline, but I have to say, tonight's final scene made up for it.

I loved Chloe the Reporter...but if we're not going to get that anymore, then there's nothing I'm enjoying more than Chloe as Watchtower. This is going to be great!

[AgentChaos]

I'm not that happy. It's only my opinion but I think she won't be JL Watchtower for long.

Why would they go to all that trouble of establishing Chloe's status as Watchtower if it's not going to last long?

[Chlollie]

Why would they go to all that trouble of establishing Chloe's status as Watchtower if it's not going to last long?

I agree,

[Timester]

Just another sign of how incompetent the "superheroes" of this show are that they need a non-hero to make their missions possible. That role is supposed to be Martian Manhunter's since he has telepathy & can communicate with them without electronics.

:rolleyes:

J'onn J'onz is dead in the comics, yet the JLA is still around. Heck, there are many versions of the JL that MM wasn't part and all comunication centers.

[TheANIMAL (marcus)]

Every superhero organisation needs someone sat at a desk doing some clear thinking.

[ChlarkerFan]

Me too. However we have the whole possible death looming over her.

Yeah, but I think this episode disproved that completely. Chloe is here to stay! :) As for the WatchTower, totally awesome!

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----


I was PUMPED to see the return of Watchtower. WOO-HOOO!!! That's been the best news and development for Chloe in half a season. Finally, even though she's putting her reporter dream behind her, she's making her own mark in a big way by helping coordinate the efforts of the proto-Justice League.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

Yes, I agree!

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----


A lot of Chloe fans are angry about this and I'm certainly not one of them. Chloe started as THEE intrepid reporter and for a long time she really enjoyed doing this. As she got older though, you got a sense that she became more interested in helping people out as well as solving mysteries.



I'm a Chloe fan and I'm so not disappointed. It's quite the episode. I've never been more excited because Chloe has a real future now and she's so damn cool. The WatchTower is perfect for her! :)

----- Added 5 Minutes later -----


I'll admit that in some ways this storyline does feel sort of "thrown on" to the end of a season, and it'll seem a bit "unnecessary" if it turns out that Chloe is the one to bite the big one in the season finale, but I don't think it's entirely out of left field. It's NOT been ONLY since Season 5 that Chloe's hacked into networks and such. She's been computer-savvy since the start of the show, and her research skills were second to none in terms of Smallville High, and then she continued to wow us with her ability to find out virtually anything once she was officially on the staff of the Daily Planet. Moving on up as the Watchtower seems more and more to me like a logical step for her, and I don't think it's at all silly or unimportant a job. The fact is that Martian Manhunter DOESN'T have his telepathy right now, so he CAN'T coordinate their efforts. And besides, it would be a bit of a taxing strain to keep in CONSTANT communication with ALL the Justice League members across the world. Besides, it helps to have someone off the field of battle to coordinate things so that if something happens to particular heroes during all the fighting, they have someone who can definitely call in for reinforcements.

Now all that being said, your idea was very inventive and interesting, xrayvision.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

I actually think this fits more with Chloe than reporting does. Chloe is so much more than that and she's always been about helping people out. Now she's helping heroes and thus she is a hero of her own (always has been IMO) and is gonna be connected to saving the lives of millions of people. That's completely awesome.

----- Added 6 Minutes later -----

It was just you. Lol. I felt the complete opposite. I saw Chloe maxed out to her potential and embracing a great destiny. I loved it.

[Mr.Magic]

Yeah, but I think this episode disproved that completely. Chloe is here to stay! :) As for the WatchTower, totally awesome!

Maybe. We don't know what might happen to Chloe when Doomsday goes after the JL.

Smallville is officially Elseworld now. Anything goes.
They might even surprise us and kill another Leaguer, like Green Arrow.

[Mickey_Bickey]

It's perfect for her, and I really like the chemistry between her and Ollie I have to say!!

[SupermanRox]

Yes, I'm very happy to have Chloe join the JL. It was awesome!

[rick.itch]

yes, but im a really big chloe fan, but i love lois to... so maybe its secret work but should't chloe tell lois about jL or am i a crazy chlois

[KrissO]

Awesome!!! :D

[Krypton935]

Loved it! THat was great!! I love the the JL!!

[costas22]

Great scene.Hopefully they will stick with this and keep her away from Davis/Doomsday

[Eurynome]

I think it was the perfect ending. I couldn't be more happy that this is what Chloe wants to do.

[Isabel14]

One of the most greatest scenes ever..And the light coming from her back, that suggests me that whatever fate she has, she will be happy.

[Super Maverick]

anyone else have the bob dylan song in their head now?

[shadow4486]

Awesome, baby with a capital "A". It was an exciting way to end the episode.

[Hopefulsuicide]

Chloe = Watchtower is the only thing they could have done with Chloe at this point that would make sense. I mean what else could there be. Villain? Another reporter? Back to meteor freak councilling? Hairdresser? :lol:

That said, i've been waiting for it for a long time... and it's great to see it finally happening :)

[Animation]

It seems odd they made her watchtower considering her upcoming stuff with Davis. Interesting. Anyway, I hope she'll be able to stay with the JL even "after".

['Tonio09]

Great scene.Hopefully they will stick with this and keep her away from Davis/Doomsday

Yeah me too. Hopefully after ep. 20. If im not mistaken thats supposed to be the last time we see Davis.

[AChloeChick]

I've watched that one scene over and over again, and it STILL gives me chill bumps!

I know there are plenty of Chloe fans who are upset and/or disappointed over this. However, I'm not one of them. This is the first time in a looooooooooooooooong time I've seen the fire and determination in Chloe. I, for one, am freaking glad it's back!

It's about darn time.

This arc has SO much potential. I've always viewed Chloe as a heroine in her own right, this only enhances that. Plus, they don't just let anyone be part of such an elite league. You have to have that 'special something' in order to be a part of it.

WatchTower is officially online. Let's get to work!

Soooo true. She really looked special in that and like she truely belonged. That scene was just so exciting and it exceeded my expectations. I didn't think Ollie would be right there by her side encouraging her along. But he did and it was beyond awesome. They both felt really right like they both were lost but then they found where they belonged.

[gardy1]

That was a great way to end the show. I hope that they don't kill Chloe off on the season finale. I see some potential great story arcs with Chloe and the JLA.

Tess i like, but if she gets killed off i'll be okay with it. Powers that be, please kill off Doomsday. (Begging) We need a brand new story arc lineup for Season 9.

I liked Zatanna too. They should bring her back for a few episodes next season. This was my favorite episode of the season so far.

[Sunny8]

I love Chloe as Watchtower:). This job is even better than her job at the DP.

[LuckyKrypto]

It's perfect for her, and I really like the chemistry between her and Ollie I have to say!!

Same here! :)

[mrw66855]

I like that she is watchtower now do not get me wrong, but I have a fear they will not focus on it anymore or enough to make an impact on the show and on the character. I am saying this because we know that she loves Davis/doomsday. And that that is where this season is going. These are just my opinions, but I have to say that it gives her a purpose again on the show and it makes complete sense with her character.

[alma]

Love her new role. It fits her perfectly, and she will be working with all the heros!!!.

[MizMercyLane]

Chloe RULES as Watchtower!! Loved it when she officially signed on online. That has got to be one of my favourites quotes of the show. Gave me goosebumps when she said it. I felt that it was an iconic moment! Really awesome!

[AChloeChick]

^^^I've watched it repeatedly and I STILL get goosebumps.


I love Chloe as Watchtower:). This job is even better than her job at the DP.

So do I!

[BillBoeBaggins]

Why did Oliver tell her this will change her life forever and she can never be a reporter after this? I mean she has already acted in this role before so it's not brand new to her and she still leads her normal life.
Thoughts? Secret identity?

[chlo-el]

I don't think chloe has fullyembraced it yet. She only actually was Watch tower for one ep. Other times she would help Ollie on occasion but hse wasn't in full Watch Tower mode. I don't see why she can have duel idenity like everyone else. But Chloe seemed just at home in that scene.

[dsfjr1190]

:rolleyes:


I agree. And didn't Green Arrow himself tell Clark that involving Chloe in superhero business would only get her hurt? I guess a case of bad writing caused him to change his mind.

Watchtower should be a hero, not some random civilian. There are tech-savvy super-powered heroes (Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, and much more) that should be in line for the position before Chloe.

Hopefully Chloe will die in the finale or something will happen to so that common sense will return to Oliver. Civilians (especially civilians with no training) should not be getting involved with this type of thing.





ITA, chloe needs to live a life that is seperate of clark kent


She could open a bookstore if that was the case. Being Watchtower is just stupid.

[BillBoeBaggins]

I believe it was the reverse and then GA commented how she seems to be in danger every day with him, CK.

Chloe isn't a random civilian. She has serious hacking skills and has been part of the whole superhero life style for years.

And Ollie wasn't talking about super hero business he was talking about Alien business. He didn't want Chloe to end up like his parents. His parents got involved with alien business and they died for it. Oliver has involved Chloe in superhero business before, he didn't seem to mind before. But he just wanted to be left out of alien business and he wanted Chloe to be left out of that too.

I don't have time to post a debate on this right now, so I'll leave with a small thought that's been floating in my head lately: Chloe has become the new Lana.

[Storm45]

In fact it was Clark who was worried about Chloe getting involved in superhero business because of her side job with Oliver. Oliver didn't mind.

[SandyV]

I like that TPTB are giving Chloe something to do beyond thinking for Clark. I think that Clark has lost his "sidekick", but he has proven he does not need one.

When she said "Watchtower is officially online", I was jumping up and down so much, I was worried about if the bed frame could stand it. :)

Now she can research all the strange and bizzare things and do something about it. I have not read spoilers, but no matter what happens, this decition made her happy. It shows that she is truely moving on, ready for the next challenge.

[umm]

I for one am happy about this development, and those who aren't and wish her death, I have just one thing to say to you guys! Stop raining on my parade!

[Boycott SF:Movie]

Damn Chloe looked hot during the last scene!

[chlo-el]

I don't have time to post a debate on this right now, so I'll leave with a small thought that's been floating in my head lately: Chloe has become the new Lana.

Please:rolleyes: Oh, well. I'm not going to debate but even any was acting like any one it was Lana. Chloe has been doing the super hero thing a long time before Lana. Chloe has been hacking computers along time before Lana. Chloe was helping people a long time before Lana. The list could go on but you get my point. Some people hate Chloe just because she's not in the comics or the fact that she's heroic. OMG girls can be heroic too stop the presses. :rolleyes: Oh, well each to their own.

[smallvillefreak24]

all i can say is BOO YA

[Chlarkrocks]

So this is my two cents worth about Chloe being watchtower. It's fitting for her. Besides this is the first time I've seen the crazy chemistry between her and Ollie, loved it. Chollie for season nine!!!! Besides the whole thing with Chloe turning into Lois was funny, but it should have happened earlier like in season six or seven. It makes her seem like she's still in love with Clark when I don't think she is at all anymore. If she dies I will go after the producers because the whole inspirational speech turning her make to Chloe makes me remember why I like her even after this season. It's been so not Chloe and that bothers me. I just wish that Chloe had been the one to decided that her and Jimmy aren't right for each other. As for her sheltering Davis it doesn't seem out of character for this season. Like Ausilleo said the deaths on Smallville never stick so that means she either get's her meteor power back or Clark or another JL memeber figures out how to bring her back. I think that Chloe finally giving up reporting shows that her character has first and foremost grown. Secondly I think that her as a reporter instead of being Watchtower doesn't show her need to help people as well. Clark either needs to become JL member or risk losing his friend and confident. As for Allison acting the scene with Justin showed her true potential as an actress, I hope Smallville keeps going if not a Justice League/Chloe spin off could be just like Angel and Buffy.Keep Chloe and Smallville in your hearts for years to come! GO CHLOE AS WATCHTOWER AND KEEP THAT FIGHT UP!

[Kryptochloe]

WATCHTOWER IS OFFICIALLY ON LINE!!!!!!!!!!:D

And she definitively belongs there... with other Heros!!!:D

[kal-el returns]

chloe's character was getting slightly boring. but now that's she's watchtower, it'll be SO much more interesting, can't wait til next episode

[j-kent]

They were right when they said that viewers would be happy with her concluding send-off for a potentially ending show

[smallvillesweetie]

I have a question, what is the watchtower? Sorry if it seems dumb lol what what is the role of the watchtower and was that in the comics?

[amberdawn]

The Watchtower is the base for the Justice League. Yes it's in the comics, in different forms.

[smallvillesweetie]

Ok so what does she do for them? Instruct them and help them out or something else?

[cksidekick]

Yeah, it's a literal place. A headquarters for the Justice League. Smallville has given Chloe the codename and made "Watchtower" an actual person. I love it!

Usually one of the team members will stay at the Watchtower to coordinate all the other members, send them where they are needed. A 911 dispatch of sorts. That member temporarily answers to the name. Chloe is PERFECT for the first person behind the wheel. All incoming transmissions will be to "Watchtower" not "Chloe".


"Red/Blue Blur to Watchtower....Come in Watchtower....Hey, Oliver, is this this thing on?"



"Don't call me Oliver! I'm Green Arrow! Disregard Watchtower! Erase last transmission!"





.

[smallvillesweetie]

So do you think that might be possible why the legion didn't remember her existing?

[Kschreck]

This has some amazing potential behind it but I am afraid the budget will prevent anything truly amazing coming out of this. How can they go on "missions" in one single Metropolis street and so fourth? Still it's a very neat arc. Smallville deserves a bigger budget. Specially now that the show is getting so good.

[AgentChaos]

I agree. And didn't Green Arrow himself tell Clark that involving Chloe in superhero business would only get her hurt? I guess a case of bad writing caused him to change his mind.

It wasn't the superhero business Oliver was talking about. It was the Krypton/Brainiac stuff.


Watchtower should be a hero, not some random civilian. There are tech-savvy super-powered heroes (Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, and much more) that should be in line for the position before Chloe.

Chloe stopped being a civilian the second she got involved with the proto Justice League's activities back in "Justice". Besides, I'm sure Oliver would rather have Cyborg out in the field than being stuck at a base of operations. Chloe has the techno skills to do the job, and he trusts her implicitly.

[devilneedsaride]

I admit it. I cheered. Although that was coming on the heels of a pretty big groan at Chloe going "That reporter thing I did for seven years of the show? That's not me! Why? Because the writers didn't want me horning in on Lois's gig." But I was glad to see her going into the superhero business instead of just sitting around like she's been doing all season. That was a pretty epic ending.

[RedKRules]

Watchtower = Consolation Prize.

[BadToad]

If Watchtower is a Consolation Prize, and I don't think it is, then its one HECK of a consolation prize. Chloe is one of the JLA now. An accepted member of the hero club. She's going to be part of saving the world, not just with Clark, but with other superheroes. There are few positions of such trust and responsibility.

[AChloeChick]

So true.

That's one of the points I've been trying to make. There are only a few select who ever get to actually join the JL. Its' HUGE! Plus, there's SO much potential for this arc. I just hope AM makes it into S9.

Personally, I've always thought Chloe is TOTALLY AWESOME. Now that she's officially WatchTower, she's TOTALLY HOLY FREAKING CRAP AWESOME!

RedK, I KNOW you're upset about this, and I'm truly sorry. I'm just not sure what else to say. Making Chloe an official part of the JL is an enormous honor. It is in NO WAY a consolation price. Like I said, not just anyone gets to be a part of it. For Chloe to have THAT much trust and belief in her by Ollie, Clark, and the rest of the gang says she is more-than-worthy, and she's just as much a hero as the rest of them.

Plus, they had to get DC's permission. We're talking DC here.

Again, I'm sorry you and some others are upset about this, but it truly is an overwhelming honor for her.

[dsfjr1190]

Don't put words into my mouth, it makes you look idiotic. I have no problem with heroic women. I am a fan of the Terminator movies and tv series, Dollhouse, Heroes, the Superman movies and comics, the Stargate franchise, Firefly/Serenity, etc. All of those have heroic and empowered women. Don't presume to know me or what I am thinking just because we have different opinions.

What I meant by saying Chloe is the new Lana is that some of the things happening to Chloe this season is only happening because Lana left the show. I think had she stayed Davis would have been attracted to her, like every other psycho-killer. It would have been Lana running ISIS. it would have been Lana messing with Clark's head by giving him different advice or opinions on the same subject week-to-week. It would have been Lana with the depressing story-arcs, etc. Chloe is just getting a little bit of spill-over that would have been used on Lana's character were she here. Still, that's just could've-would've speculation, which is kinda pointless, I guess. This is why the show needs more charatcers, so its characters can stay consistent.

I don't hate Chloe because she's not in the comics. I just think that there are certain things from DC mythology that if want to adapt, you should do it right. I don't think anyone who isn't a super-hero or a trained or experienced fighter should be on the Justice League in such an important capacity.

I also don't want Chloe just replacing or taking over a DC role. There is no reason for her to be Watchtower, Oracle, Lois Lane, or anyone else. Just as there is no reason for Tess to be Catwomen, or for Whitney Fordman to be Wildcat. Why can't she simply be Chloe Sullivan?

[Kryppy]

I'm very happy to see Chloe join the JLA.

But I still wouldn't call her her a "Super-Hero," because she doesn't go out on the scene. She's more of a "Super-Hero-Helper." Unless she's going to be doing something different than she did in Justice.

[redeyes]

She has always been the watch tower. It is just offical now. Now that being a reporter isn't in the way.

[<Adam Knight>]

Im glad!!! im excited to see where this will go. Should be good!

[llk6165]

I wanted to see this develop a long time ago. Chloe will rock in this capacity.

[marcella]

That was cool:cool:

[e-µ-i]

For me - one of the coolest moments on TV (not SV, TV) history. I started jumping in my chair, simply amazing ! - Watchtower is officially online !
And the music ! Damn, a perfect package ! ;)

[rick.itch]

she is online :)

----- Added 8 Minutes later -----

:) i love her as thje watchtower but i think it would be better with braniac power in her

[Selina]

I think it's great. It's a great role for Chloe and she is more than deserving.

I always found her better in the super-hero kind of roles. Working for media freaks at the Isis foundation did very little for her character.

She is best when she's at the centre of it all. I cant think of a character who is more fitting to the role.

[chlo-el]

Don't presume to know me or what I am thinking just because we have different opinions.

What I meant by saying Chloe is the new Lana is that some of the things happening to Chloe this season is only happening because Lana left the show. I think had she stayed Davis would have been attracted to her, like every other psycho-killer. It would have been Lana running ISIS. it would have been Lana messing with Clark's head by giving him different advice or opinions on the same subject week-to-week. It would have been Lana with the depressing story-arcs, etc. Chloe is just getting a little bit of spill-over that would have been used on Lana's character were she here. Still, that's just could've-would've speculation, which is kinda pointless, I guess. This is why the show needs more charatcers, so its characters can stay consistent.

I don't hate Chloe because she's not in the comics. I just think that there are certain things from DC mythology that if want to adapt, you should do it right. I don't think anyone who isn't a super-hero or a trained or experienced fighter should be on the Justice League in such an important capacity.

I also don't want Chloe just replacing or taking over a DC role. There is no reason for her to be Watchtower, Oracle, Lois Lane, or anyone else. Just as there is no reason for Tess to be Catwomen, or for Whitney Fordman to be Wildcat. Why can't she simply be Chloe Sullivan?

Sorry about the words put in your mouth it just seems like sometimes people hate Chloe for being a hero because she's not in comics or because her as a hero is threatening. But I think Chloe defiantely has the capacity to be great addition to the Justice League she has had the skills for years. And I'm sorry but there is no one in the comics that I am aware of that is called the Watch Tower. So she would not be replacing anyone. I know MM and oracle did similar things but so what when JLA expands I'm sure there were plenty of those type of people that organize everything. Besides Chloe Sullivan is a hero Chloe Sullivan hasn't been the type to just lead a normal life. When she does try she doesn't seem herself. She was herself when she went after metoer freaks, and after strange and abnormal things, and then when she started give a hand to super heroes. It is who Chloe Sullivan has become. ;)

And sorry if it seemd if I didn't respect your opinions.

[Marissa]

I am! Ofcourse.

[chlo-el]

So true.

That's one of the points I've been trying to make. There are only a few select who ever get to actually join the JL. Its' HUGE! Plus, there's SO much potential for this arc. I just hope AM makes it into S9.

Personally, I've always thought Chloe is TOTALLY AWESOME. Now that she's officially WatchTower, she's TOTALLY HOLY FREAKING CRAP AWESOME!

RedK, I KNOW you're upset about this, and I'm truly sorry. I'm just not sure what else to say. Making Chloe an official part of the JL is an enormous honor. It is in NO WAY a consolation price. Like I said, not just anyone gets to be a part of it. For Chloe to have THAT much trust and belief in her by Ollie, Clark, and the rest of the gang says she is more-than-worthy, and she's just as much a hero as the rest of them.

Plus, they had to get DC's permission. We're talking DC here.

Again, I'm sorry you and some others are upset about this, but it truly is an overwhelming honor for her.

I sooooo agree it is not a consolation prize at all. It's in honor to be a part of. And it's more of an honor then reporting I think. I thought she could do both eventually so I'm a little sad about that. But it is great for her. And the fact that so many heroes want her to be involved does speak volumes. And I am sorry to that some Chloe fans are let down because of the reporting thing. But I like heros more then I liked reporters anyway. Sure repeorter can be heroic in their own right but they aren't knee deep into it like Chloe would be. They report the action they aren't part of it. And think that's was part of Chloe's epiphany when Clark said that he just reported news and Chloe said he made news. When she said this it felt like she was convincing him that was much better. THen just reporting on it.

[Smalvil1]

im glad chloe is now watchtower. better than being group therapist. too bad i dont think itll last

[Jack-El49]

I'm glad Chloe is now Watchtower as well. Her character was really dying on the vine and now, her epiphany is that instead of being a journalist reporting on the heroics, she wants to be directly involved in the heroics. I hope this saves her character - even if her name has to be buried and erased (or maybe it won't we'll see if reversing time in Infamous changed history of the future).

With her computer skills and researching abilities, she'll be more useful in that role to Clark and the rest of the JL.

[kgal1298]

Does anyone else see a Justice League spinoff in the works??? I loved it hands down how can you beat this ep. I am so happy Chloe is Watchtower and speculations was correct.

[Meteror Freak]

But what about the Isis Foundation??? Will Chloe still work there??? They are tearing down that set after all. Shame, I thought it was a cool set.

[amberdawn]

I don't know about the set, but I don't think the Isis Foundation is gone or that she abandoned it.

[Jack-El49]

What's cool is that people have been speculating this for about 3 years and now it's a reality.

[chlo-el]

I don't know about the set, but I don't think the Isis Foundation is gone or that she abandoned it.

I'm one of the few that's really sad about this. I think Chloe could have done a great job helping the meteor infected find the right path. I just don't like the idea of Chloe giving up on people and trying to help them. And just assuming all MF's will end up evil. I hope Chloe sticks with it and has it as her duel idenity thing.

[cksidekick]

Joining the Justice League, even as part time members is the best thing Meteor Freaks can do to find the right path. Chloe can help these same people you say she has given up on by organizing this team. She hasn't given up on anyone. She is helping to create a constructive outlet for their powers. Some will choose to join and some won't.


And on the bigger point of it being an honor to be a member of the team, i say it's selling Chloe a bit short. She isn't just a member. She IS Watchtower. I'm a Superman fan first and Smallville happens to fall under this file. Watchtower is a big deal. She's not just a founding member of The Justice League, they name the flippin' headquarters after her. Yeah, it's a big deal. At least to this Superman fan.

Watchtower is online.

[vikingjedi]

Go Watchtower go! No wonder the Legion never heard of Chloe Sullivan.... History knows her as "Watchtower!" Now I really don't want her character killed off.

The more I think about it the more I'm digging Chloe as Watchtower. It makes sense on a lot of different levels. There's definitely some chemistry there with the Green Arrow too.

[hero`s passion]

I was really glad that Chloe became a member of the JL, I want her in season 9 as Watchtower, it would be great, so hope that she won`t die:)))))))))))

[Welling_is_pretty]

I loved seeing Chloe join the team (please, it's time they made it official).

I thought that Chloe could do something like that. That she could be a JL recruiter. The thing that makes me think that she's giving up on her Isis kids was in "Hex" she said that most of them would prob end up evil anyway. So I just don't want her to give up on them. Even though she has had bad experiences w/ them before. And a couple have turned bad. I hope she still tries to save them. And I hope she finds and recruits some by helping them.

And yeah, being WatchTower is a very big deal. She gives them organization and she gets to boss around superheroes.

[Violet-Shadow]

I thought the Watchtower scene was pretty cool but I'm not all that happy with her stepping into the "Oracle" position. That spot belongs to Babs alone, IMO. I always envisioned a different future for Chloe. However, now that she's there, she's there. If she stays Watchtower, I don't really care all that much.

Yeah, well. Ollie seemed to take Bruces role in SV. So it seems about right.

[Violet-Shadow]

That's what many people think... But Chloe can never compare to Babs in my book. Maybe next there will be a "robin" type character then...:lol: Ollie's sidekick...

If you notice in that first scene with Oliver, she was like that about her life in general. She was just down on herself and that included her ability to help the Meteor Infected. Now she has not only a job that she is passionate about, she is in effect helping to create Isis 2.0. The whole point of the last scene was to address all the issues in the first...:)

[anewbie]

hello everyone.... can someone please tell me why there are many who don't like the chloe character?... I decided to post here because you all probably more knowledgable about the whole thing because all I can sense based upon the posts I read (not in here) is that they don't like chloe because she is not part of the comics world???...sorry, I am new here and all I've been doing really is read posts... the chloe character for me plays a major role in smallville and I love everything about her... does smallville have to follow the superman story in the comics?.. just need enlightenment...

Hi, anewbie!!! Welcome to K-site!:)
Yeah, you are right... is tough been here, but you know, that's what you get when you are as awsome and unique as Chloe Sullivan is!
Anyway, don't let those "Hate Chloe, hope she dies" posts get you. You can just ignore them.
See you on any Chloe thread...;)

Yeah, I think your right about that. I just hope she still tries to help them too. I think she will.

[Tatiana]

I loved it, I think she is going to be great

['Tonio09]

And yeah, being WatchTower is a very big deal. She gives them organization and she gets to boss around superheroes.

I hope there's a scene in either Doomsday (or maybe sometime in season 9) where The members of the JL are reporting in and Oliver gives them there next assignment(s) via 'Watchtower' and Chloe's at her desk explaining the JL's next mission and where they all are going to be located/positioned and their each individual task, etc. I think that would be pretty cool. And right before they head out Bart flirts with Chloe a little and she just smiles and says "see ya Bart!"

[Kryptochloe]

And I would love a scene like the final on "Justice" (i don't remember if was "Justice" indeed) where the members of the JLA are walking in line, and there's an explotion behind... something like that, but with Chloe in...:D

[SandyV]

And yeah, being WatchTower is a very big deal. She gives them organization and she gets to boss around superheroes.

Chloe seem to have no hesitation bossing Clark around during missions. I can totally see her bossing around the JLA. :D:lol:

[ClLaLeChFAN01]

YES! Im glad Chloe joined the soon to be named Justice League team.

[Storm45]

Okay, some people says that Chloe took Oracle place, while others says that its Martian Manhunter's position.

If this Watchtower position is so sacred how come two characters can claim to be Watchtower. Does it really matter or there's something I don't understand?

The title "Watchtower" in the comics and the cartoons doesn't belong to a person. It's actually the name of the Justice League's headquarters. I think when you hear people referring to "Watchtower" being J'onn J'onzz's position they're referring to the actual duties Chloe performs in that regard. In the JL cartoon J'onn functioned as the communication center of things just as Chloe does on "Smallville" coordinating efforts, sending in back up, etc. When J'onn used the term "Watchtower" during communications it wasn't to refer so much to himself as a title, but rather was much the way the military might use the term "Base". There isn't really a person named "Base", but when they radio they will say, "Base to __________" or "Base out".

As to "Oracle", I think that's a separate issue entirely. Oracle functioned as the all purpose goto hacker for various super heroes. This was a seperate person and seperate job entirely than what J'onn performed as the JLA dispatcher. Chloe mimics this on "Smallville" as she has often been the goto hacker person in that media. I still remember when Clark had to break into Luthorcorp when he had no powers. He phoned up Chloe and she brought her trusty laptop she bought with her allowance and used it to beat a multi-million dollar security system.

At least Oracle had the good taste to have a system of Crays at her disposal before she did the impossible. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the clarifications.

Well, I doubt that DC comics sees whatever happens in the animated series as something sacred. I know I don't so I don't see any problems in that front.

As for Oracle, I can live without her not existing in Smallville world. Superman's and DC universe won't be shattered by that.

['Tonio09]

I dont see why some people have a problem with Chloe being "Watchtower." I know those were the duties of MM, but I would like to see him out in the field with the other members. That way we could see him use more of his powers.

[Night_Hawk90]

i dont see why its a problem that some ppl dont like the idea of her being watchtower, not everybody has to agree

[Mrs.Bizzaro]

Chloe becoming watchtower is a perfectly natural progression in the Smallville universe. Smallville is an alternate version of the mythos of Superman. There are many different interpretations of Batman in comic books. Why can't Superman have different variations on the story in tv?

['Tonio09]

i dont see why its a problem that some ppl dont like the idea of her being watchtower, not everybody has to agree

True. Im just saying I think it would be good for both of the characters. We'd get to see more of MM in action and Chloe doing something that isnt Clark-related.

But to each his own.

[Jack-El49]

i dont see why its a problem that some ppl dont like the idea of her being watchtower, not everybody has to agree

I don't think it's a problem when ppl say they don't like the idea of her being Watchtower. But it does become problematic when they rip apart another character as the basis for Chloe being moved in that direction or "accuse" a character of stealing Chloe's life and dream. That's just nonsense.

I like her being used as Watchtower because I think she fits very well in that role far better than being a counselor to meteor freaks. If there was a good reason to keep her as a journalist, the writers would have done that. Chloe is a blank page for the writers since they created the character. It's up to the producers what they want to do with that character but not so much with the others that have a mythos-based background.

[Tess is Smokin]

the watchtower thing was just a consultation price. this was the second and last time she'll be it.

[AgentChaos]

the watchtower thing was just a consultation price. this was the second and last time she'll be it.

Then why would they go to all that trouble of setting her up as WatchTower if it was going to be a one-time thing? That makes no sense at all.

[Pantalaimon]

I'm one of the few that's really sad about this. I think Chloe could have done a great job helping the meteor infected find the right path. I just don't like the idea of Chloe giving up on people and trying to help them. And just assuming all MF's will end up evil. I hope Chloe sticks with it and has it as her duel idenity thing.

I really hope they will follow up on that as well.
The meteor freaks are part of Smallville's identity. They're generally seen as a cheap plot device, but for once they were able to do something genuinely interesting with these people when Chloe took up the counseling position.

I so no reason for her not to continue that job next to her watchtower duties though.

[jpfort1957]

Chloe has always wrapped her life around doing for others, she knows them all, she was made for that position.
