Everything Chlark

[Vindellavon]

We saw Chlark per trailer, we saw Chlark per webclip. No romance, but the angst is plenty. There's Chlark in this episode, and discuss it right here.

[SGuthrie27]

Rock on for Chlarky goodness! I'm hoping there's plenty of it to be found in this episode...

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Dustmite]

I think we're going to get a lot of 'Chlark' in this episode. We already have the clip of their reunion and Chloe flailing in his arms and the clip from the trailer as well. I can't wait to see what else we get.

[Vindellavon]

You know what I love about this season? All major episodes included Chlark, and here we are, down to the last two episodes, and it's all still about Chlark.

Come to think of it, final three episodes of the season have been Chlarked, and Beast delivered the perfect Chlark ending.

[haydenclaireheroes]

i need more chlark mabe not as a relationship but at least as a best friend you can never dobt.

[Dustmite]

So no real Chlark but I heard that Clark was very sweet to fake Chloe. I still have to watch the episode yet but I'm looking forward to the AM/TW scenes the most.

[costas22]

Clark was very very sweet to Chleva. In essence though we had no real Chlark scenes.

[justme_007]

It shows that Chloe still cares about chloe and i don´t want to start the fire but when fake chloe took his hands... i don´t know ....clark´s look left me thinking

[marcella]

Did we have Chlark in this episode?

[Sue Denim]

The Chlark we saw was actually one-sided with Clark towing the line. It really looked a lot like Chlark though, even though Chloe was actually Eva Greer (eyeroll). Clark's reactions to faux Chloe were wonderful and we left this episode with Clark more determined to find Chloe.

I didn't really think that Clark leaned into Chloe* at the beginning of this episode to kiss her. He did however take her back to his place, offered his ear and comforted Chloe*.

[Kryptochloe]

He felt so bad about how fragile and scared fake Chloe looked...

Agreed. It was Clark's reactions to Chloe that made this 'Chlark'.

[Sue Denim]

The scene I've watched over and over is Chloe* dying. No way that moment won't leave a mark on him. When they reunite, I don't think he'll waste too much time. Before Chloe*'s headache started, they were fighting some. I don't know if you've experienced the situation where you lose someone you love and you weren't on good terms, but it does leave an imprint. "Why were we fighting?"

The way Clark's voice grows hoarse saying her name makes me almost cry.

[RedKRules]

Tom´s officially a Chlarker in my book :p that´s all I can say :D

[Kalista]

Agreed. It was Clark's reactions to Chloe that made this 'Chlark'.


I enjoyed the way he took care of Chloe. You could see his frustration when Fake!Chloe jumped at the sound of the coffee cup hitting the table. He was so considerate by telling her that he understood if she didn't want to talk about the situation.

Maybe it just me but I really enjoyed the Isis scene when he questioned Fake!Chloe about leaving without telling him and turning her cellphone off. I love when he said he was looking all over for her.

I hope the real Chlark reunion will be sweet.

It reminds me of Chloe's death in Labryinth.

No...but it was again showed how much Clark cares for his best friend. I love the Chlark friendship and it has certainly been shown to be special to both parties in these episodes.

[Kryptochloe]

Well, it looks like this director knew very well how he wanted Clark to react about Chloe (in this case fake Chloe) :p;)

[RedKRules]

Yep, :D:p

The look Clark gave when fake!Chloe grabbed his hands was priceless :p.

[Sue Denim]

Yes, he didn't just drop her off at the Talon and say, "Just shout if you need me." He took her back to his place, started a fire for them, served her tea. He was also thinking about her physical health, and wanted to take her to the hospital. Chloe* must have talked him out of that someway.

The thing is, you know that they didn't just walk back to the house. He didn't want her out of his sight. He would have carried her back. Her well-being was more important than changing into comfortable clothes, he's still in his dress shirt!

Clark was totally focused on Chloe*. And although it was sort of ick, he didn't like hearing Chloe*'s story about how Davis wouldn't leave her alone. To be honest, I didn't either. The idea once planted, I have to wonder if he worries that Davis is abusing Chloe now.


I hope the real Chlark reunion will be sweet.

I think it will be. Why put so much rocket fuel behind the search?


It reminds me of Chloe's death in Labryinth.
Yes it does. What was different though was Clark saying, "I can't believe I didn't see through her diguise!" Fever Letter anyone?

[RedKRules]

Nice catch Nancy, Fever Letter mention ....*Swoon* :o

[Kryptochloe]

^^^ :eek: I didn't notice that before... nice!

[Sue Denim]

Nice catch Nancy, Fever Letter mention ....*Swoon* :o
Sorry, can't take credit, someone else saw it first. I hope they speak up and take the credit for it!

[RedKRules]

Alright, credit to whoever that mentioned the Fever Letter reference on this episode :)

I think that Fake!Chloe was definitely trying to push Clark's button's by insinuating that Davis was forcing himself upon her. Clark knows that Davis is obsessed with Chloe based on their conversation in the FOS. So once they left town I wouldn't be surprised if think of the possiblity of something like that happening.

Such fears would only intensify his efforts to rescue her.

[Dustmite]

Alright, credit to whoever that mentioned the Fever Letter reference on this episode :)

Yup, Kudos to whoever spotted it :)

[rebecavaldez]

Can it still be called "Chlark" scenes if Chloe wasn't really in them?

[Dustmite]

Can it still be called "Chlark" scenes if Chloe wasn't really in them?

I think several people have already given their thoughts on this in this thread.

[RedKRules]

Of course .... Clark´s actions made it Chlark :) got it?

btw I really missed Real!Chloe, I knew something was lacking :(

[costas22]

I don't know if it makes sense but i would call them Chlevark scenes.

[Sue Denim]

I don't know if it makes sense but i would call them Chlevark scenes.
I would know what you mean. I'm still calling them Chlark* or Chlark scenes just because we were suppose to think it was Chlark. Clark was misdirected so as a viewer I was.

ITA! Clark believing that it was Chloe calling out to him - super cool that Chloe's voice activated his hearing - and Chloe dying - Clark whispering her name when he thought she was dead, that was heartbreaking. Because of Clark these were two great Chlark scenes.

[costas22]

Without a doubt, Clark's actions after he found her, showed how much she meant to him.

I really do marvel at this friendship. There's a whole lot of unconditional love there.

Exactly. It was becausr of Clark that these were Chlark scenes. You've mentioned two but I also loved him taking care of her in the farmhouse and be so willing to give her space and time to talk if she needed it.

[actaeon]

On the one hand, Clark showed a great deal of fondness and tender concern for Chloe.

On the other hand, Clark couldn't tell fake Chloe wasn't the real Chloe.

So I don't know what this says about Chlark.

Well ... first Fake!Chloe did a great job! ;) .... Clark had a lot on his plate ... find Davis, save Tess and those kids .... so I am not really sure he had enough time to notice it ... although he DID looked puzzled when he asked her why she didn´t tell him that she was leaving and why she turned off her phone.... and she couldn´t answer it straightly.

But that´s MO....

I also thought he looked a little confused when she told him that the Beast needed to go (paraphrasing). I do not think Chloe has ever called Davis that and IMO the look Clark gave her was of puzzlement. However, you could also see that he was concerned for her and what she went through. So he could have just thought she went through something traumatic and it changed her viewpoint.

[SVfan87]

I loved how Clark was so concerned for Chloe and wouldn't let her out of his sight. It was as if she was a piece of glass that he didn't want to break.
Some of my favorite Chlark quotes (which is pretty much all of them):

Chloe: What're you doing with the crystal?
Clark: Look, Chloe, don't worry about it, okay, I dont want you involved. You've been through enough already.

Clark: Chloe, you okay?
Chloe: Yeah, i think all the mayhem is just a little more than I can handle. I'm gonna go outside for some fresh air.
Clark: Chloe, look, I dont like you going outside alone. Not when Doomsday could be so nearby.
Chloe: Clark, it's just outside. Trust me, if he comes back I'll holler.

And my favorite:
Clark: Chloe, why did you take off without telling me? And then not answer your cell phone when I called? And do you know I've been searching everywhere for you?

It's just too sweet. He cares so much for her. He's a great friend. I didn't really see anything romantic between them (or, on Clark's part). Just a lot of concern.

[Dustmite]

So I don't know what this says about Chlark.

It says nothing at all. He knew she was acting odd but he thought it was due to the fact that she was traumatized by what she'd been through. People tend to act off when they've been through something huge like he thought Chloe had and it wasn't as if he spent weeks with her without realizing something was up.

He confronted her about her 'lies'. We saw the scene.

[Khyla]

On the one hand, Clark showed a great deal of fondness and tender concern for Chloe.

On the other hand, Clark couldn't tell fake Chloe wasn't the real Chloe.

Oliver says "Hows' Chloe?"

Clark shakes his head and looks around nervously, as he says, "Something happened...." His eyes very briefly meet Oliver's, then look down, implying that he doesn't want to speculate further, but continues to blame himself as he walks towards the screen with his back to Oliver.

I think that showed us that he felt something was really "off" with her. and since he didn't have a clue that there was another shape-shifter in town, or that it would make any kind of sense for someone to be impersonating her, he just assumed she was acting different because of whatever traumatic thing she went through.

Clark knew she wasn't herself.

[Inkpen23]

The Chlark scenes in Injustice weren't all that great to me. I dunno, I guess I was expecting a more intimate conversation between Chlark for their first reunion together after their poignant phone conversation in Beast. Last week I was looking forward to their reunion because I had thought they were going to have a intimate conversation about what was said in Beast but I was wrong and now I'm not as excited about their reunion. At best I think we'll get a hug and then they'll move on to something else and pretend like nothing happened and go back to business as usual. They probably won't have time to talk in Doomsday, with so much going on, so I'm not expecting much from Chlark for the rest of the season. But hey you never know anything could happen. *crosses fingers*

Back to Injustice.....

I know to a lot of people it appeared as though Clark was going to kiss fake Chloe in their fireplace scene, but I didn't see that at all. I didn't get that impression at all. I thought Clark looked very concerned and sort of startled by the hand hold thing but he didn't look like he wanted to kiss Chloe. I loved the barn scene where Clark tells fake Chloe she inspired him. I love seeing Clark give Chloe the proper appreciation she deserves. That's what a true friend does and the writers should allow Clark to show his appreciation for Chloe more often, and next time Chloe needs to be present. I also liked how Clark was very protective and concerned about Chloe. Although that's nothing new with Chlark because Clark has always been that way with Chloe but it was nice to see it again.

I just wish Clark was more emotionally available for Chloe though instead of just being her "personal bomb squad" when her life is in danger. Clark's very good about being there for Chloe when she needs to be rescued but he's hardly there for her emotionally. Their relationship has been a bit strained this season, so it's stands out more but this has always been part of the Chlark relationship. I think in one of the early seasons Chloe had said something to Clark to the effect, I can't remember which episode, that he's always there for her when she's needs to be rescued (meaning her life is in danger and she needs to be saved) but he's hardly there for her when she needs him emotionally. I think that still rings true today where Clark is still shown to be very protective of Chloe but isn't there for her emotionally. He still thinks Chloe has to tell him what's going on in her life in order for him to be concerned about it. I hope the writers change that next season although I won't be around to see it.

I thought Clark looked very concerned a sort of startled by the hand hold thing but he didn't look like he wanted to kiss Chloe.
It would have been a completely inappropriate move for Clark to start a kiss. I did wonder if that's what Chloe* might have tried. I agree with you Inkpen23.

The fireside scene with Chlark* I saw Clark actually taking care of his friend and offering an open ear to her. It's not all about him, and we saw that. That to me is a the mark of a good friend. He didn't dump her off at the apartment in the Talon and say, "Shout if you need me," He expressed enormous concern both for her physical and emotional health. Taking care of Chloe was more important than changing out of his dress clothes.

[Lilah]

The scene I've watched over and over is Chloe* dying. No way that moment won't leave a mark on him. When they reunite, I don't think he'll waste too much time. Before Chloe*'s headache started, they were fighting some. I don't know if you've experienced the situation where you lose someone you love and you weren't on good terms, but it does leave an imprint. "Why were we fighting?"

The way Clark's voice grows hoarse saying her name makes me almost cry.

Yeah, he would have reacted the same to anyone he loves dying in his arms... TW is just such a great actor.

[ms.c.]

I thought Clark was taking his cues from Chloe. She was curled up on the edge of the sofa, so he let her have some space. He didn't want to crowd her. When "Chloe" touched his hands she moved forward and I think for a split second, Clark got the wrong idea that she was going to move in for a kiss and so he moved in to return the kiss. When "Chloe" stopped moving forward, Clark looked down at their hands and looked back at her for some cue for how he could comfort her.

I think he wanted to make her feel safe but he didn't know if physical contact (hug, handholding etc) would be welcome or not.

Clark knew something was off with "Chloe" but any difference in her behavior could be explained away by the emotional rollercoaster she's been on with Brainiac, Chimmy marriage/divorce, and now Davis/Doomsday. Plus "Chloe" heavily implied Davis sexually assaulted her (a trick Tess probably told her to use to get sympathy) which would traumatize anyone and make them behave OOC.
