I lost count how many times Clark supersped away from Chloe this episode (OK, I exagerate. I think it was twice). What got me is Clark and Chloe are discussing where the body was found and Clark just takes off leaving Chloe. Why did he do that? What possible reason would he have for leaving her there? If there was a rush to get there before the searchers trampled through the area, fine, but manners dictate that he should have at least said, "I am going on ahead before the searchers make this difficult. Wait here", or whatever. Is courtesy really that difficult?

Sorry go on a rant. It's just one of my peeves that everyone talks about how well Clark was brought up yet he has no manners at times. :(

Dude, I noticed that too. To me it seemed similar to the Sneeze situation, like he doesn't want her to be with him if it's a dangerous situtation.

Well first off, there was a guy's life in the balance and secondly, he is definitely trying to do his thing away from Chloe so she doesn't get hurt and she knows it.

Hmm, good point, and Khufu pointed it out as well. For a second I thought Clark was regressing to his pre-Arrival treatment of Chloe. Makes complete sense and I feel stupid that it never ocurred to me. :o

I am convinced that they did that on purpose. If you pay attention, Chloe's reaction is even more p*ssed off than usual. It was also no coincidence that this happened in the episode where she becomes Jimmy's 'girl' (I swear if he says that one more time, I am going to puke...). The TPTB wanted to show, I think, that there are clearly things about Clark that annoy Chloe, so that being with Jimmy seems actually believable.

This wasn't a great day for Chlarkers...:(

Weill its ironic, he superspeeds away from her to save her from being hurt, and at the end she ends up saving him.

...and for calling him 'his girl', i.e. being so possessive, of course you are right. But still, I felt like they want to show us that Chloe is not 100% into Clark anymore, that there are things that bother her about how he treats her - to make Jimmy seem an attractive alternative, in a way. I am not saying that I like it, but that's what I got from watching today. Wasn't very pleasant...

I think the point of her reaction was to shine a light on the fact that he just took off to keep her out of a potentially dangerous situation again, and that that's not his usual behavior. I noticed that they intentionally picked a distance that they could have easily walked to in a short amount of time ("just a quarter-mile up the road"), and so the fact that he didn't wait for her pissed her off. In fact, I get the feeling that this very issue is what's going to make Clark have to address his feelings for her, because she's just going to keep getting increasingly frustrated with it to the point where she will finally ask him "Clark, what the hell is wrong with you lately!!??"

EUreka !!! that is exactly what I think. I think that the whole Clark speeding away from Chloe is to keep her away from danger. Last year they were in danger together all the time but I think that he is afraid to loose her and he is over protecting her or trying to be his own man and not depend to much on her and she will eventually confront him about it and that may reveal a few things that Chloe may not want hear/ or may want to hear... Either way this is just setting up for things to come... subtle/not so subtle cues

I truly hope yall are right.. I hope his feelings for her have matured and are making him keep her out of harms way.. I really think this needs to be the season of Chlark love.. we know it won't last so however fleeting it is, I WANT IT! And we DESERVE IT!

When you mentioned that Clark was trying to keep Chloe out of danger, my first thought was his feelings are beginning to show. I think you're right, that the situation is going to build to the point where Chloe is going to ask Clark what is going on and he will have to admit his feelings. Something along those lines. All very angsty, but in a Clark kind of way.

I seriously doubt that because the spoilers say something different about Clark's feelings. We'll see.

The writers are finally learning, is my humble opinion. Chloe should not have lived through that battle with Braniac in the FOS. There is no reason for her to be alive. That was her death scene...

I mean come on, why didn't he kill her? He had a chance to. At that point he had murdered ever human that got in his way and she did big time.

So not having her in harms way stops the fans from thinking it is dumb and contrived for the freak of the week not to kill her off right there in Clark's face.

Yeah, I think it's Clark maturing. He doesn't want Chloe tagging along when there is danger, sort of how Superman doesn't bring Jimmy Olsen or Lois Lane along when he goes to fight badguys.

I agree on the maturing part. But I think Clark's intent to keep her safe is an indication he has feelings for her, because he never worried about her before, such as in Hidden, when he died and she was kidnapped. How come he didn't go looking for her? She came to the loft to talk with him. She was going to him. I'm seeing the shoe on the other foot now, him looking after her.

agree and I think if this keeps up he won't have to tell her how he feels cause she will notice.Well maybe not that he likes her but she'll notice how diff he's been treatin her and she may call him on it.I think these early signs of him leavin her out of things will come to before midseason/jan...Cause at times she looks annoyed when he doesn't want her around so I think she'll question his sudden change but I do agree.

^^^Definitely, I think you guys hit the nail on the head. I think it could also make him even more vulnerable/hurt when and if Chloe decides to get really serious with Jimmy and cut off any romantic chance with Clark. That'd also advance the season and where writers may want to take Clark (sort of like the lonely hero theme from the recent movie).

Oh, how much I would like to agree with you folks...
But haven't we forgotten about Lois in our little scenario? The spoilers I have read so far can't sound good to a Chlarker...

Clois is for later, maybe next season, but Chlark is the now.

I'm not so sure Chloe is as into Jimmy as she portrays. In all of the trio scenes she seems to be playing the field, as if she is trying to make Clark jealous.

Jimmy is the one giving her attention and she's biting it for now, but I see her as secretly still wanting Clark. She has got to notice he is more concerned for her safety lately. It will be interesting to see if she calls Clark on this to see if she can get a reaction. I see the Chlark coming but she is not yet done with Jimmy til she gets more out of Clark.

Let's hope you're right.
Maybe at some point in the near future, Chloe will confront Clark in what could be a big fight between them. She could yell something like: 'why are you protecting me all the time? You behave so strange', and after she shoots a few of those verbal rounds at him, it could finally slip out that he actually does have feelings. <awkward silence>. And then?

Hmmmmmm, that would be nice...
Well, I guess dreams are what keep us Chlarkers going...

The spoilers don't say anything at all about a Clois relationship. And both ED and Gough have said Clois won't happen this season, if at all. So no, I'm not worried about that. Just read the blurb about Arrow next week in TVGuide about there having already been "heat" between Clark and Lois! Anyone see anything even close to that actually happen? No, didn't think so.

Anyway, back to the Chlark. I predict a fight soon based on this very issue! Probably around the time Raya shows up (how convenient). It will look bad for the Chlark, but it's actually good in the long run. They are upping the level of emotion (to be capitolized on later) and using it as an excuse to stretch Chlark out over the season. But this time I suspect it will be Clark, not Chloe, who comes away the most hurt by it.

They hype the most minute details that never materialize or get blown utterly out of proportion. The only thing that matters is what we see on our TV screens.

I am starting to think the same thing, these days. I wonder whether I should still read spoilers at all?!? But then again... Had I not read any, then the first ~5 minutes of 'wither' would have most likely killed me - heart attack...

I always thought it was unrealistic that after she learnt Clark's secret she didn't get in danger much. Considering what has happened to the Kents, Pete and Lana (when she knew the secret) and then having Chloe immune to such things was not believable. That Braniac scene especially was strange considering Braniac probably could care less about her. Having her out harm's way, does make sense though.

I felt like the reason Clark zipped away and left Chloe behind has something to do with the fact that he just found out about Chloe and Jimmy at make out point. I think he wanted time to think or he just wanted to get away from Chloe for a little while. Normally he would have enjoyed those walks but at this point he was a little hurt I think. If he was concerned about her safety he would have stayed with her. The plant person could have been anywhere in the woods so by speeding off and leaving Chloe he could have left her vulnerable to the Gloria. Also, in sneeze he said she couldn't come because he wasn't a 100% and couldn't guarentee her safety. He would have let her come if he hadn't been sick...

yea that's what I was thinkin when we got the spoiler of raya comin back and clark showin interest.Espcially after AlMiles and even TW have stated that clark would go at the season alone,but so far we're hearin diff.He may be single for the first half of the season but to say he's focusin on savin the world(TW interview)isn't what's comin on screen.But ur right I see them havin chlark have sum kind of blowout right when raya comes or around that time,and clark will be hurt(Cause he still won't tell his feelings),chloe will think he's jus actin funny and clark will decide to pursue gloria since he'll think chloe is mad at him/moved on.

haha yea it may be like in crush how she ask whats his prob,he must have a savior complex.Whenever she's in trouble he'll rescue her but other than that he's made emotionally unattach,which is sumwhat true.He'll save her and put his feelings out there for her safety in a sec but when it comes to tellin his bf how he feels about her he's quiet.So I can see them havin this blowout,tho the anti's may luv it and think its a sign of the end,if happens it may actually be the best sign this season to a setup for chlark.So we'll see,but if this keeps up she will approach him about his actions towards her.Jus as jimmy will eventually ask chloe of her feelings towards clark.

I think these conflicts will indeed be difficult to avoid. Especially Jimmy's role will be interesting. Will he back out? Will he force Chloe to choose between them? Will he be the reason why Clark and Chloe will fight? It's going to be interesting...

I agree with what most people say that he's showing a pattern now with her: he's trying to keep her out of harm's way. If it was just in this episode, I could agree with someone who said that he was trying to get away to clear his head (wich is also VERY possible, since it was just after he discovered about Jimmy and Make-Out Point) but we have to keep in mind that he went WITH her to the woods, so he was already spending time with her, he was talking to her, just a small distance like that would be nothing, and yes, Chloe could also be attacked there, but there were people there participating in the search and the place where it could be most dangerous was next to where she found the body, so he goes ahead to make sure there's no danger anymore, and then he calls for her when he finds the body of the guy. He's thinking that: "well, it's not the GUY who is infected with kryptonite, because he's a victim too, then who is it? I better talk to Chloe, she might now be in danger"

Back to my point at the beggining of the post, I could agree f this was shown in only one episode, but in Sneeze we had two instances of this happening, so is a pattern now. And she will call him on it sooner or latter.

About all that you guys said: :D and here they are trying to shove Clexana and Clolliver down our troats... Chlarkchimmy is the real deal!!

The real triangle, the real conflict and Clark's emotional arc this season is this situation with Chloe and Jimmy. It will be spread all across the season and there will be a LOT going on.

Is like I said when I first read the spoilers about Jimmy coming and Chimmy: perfect move from the writers to bring Jimmy in at THIS point. It opens TOO many doors, and most of all it opens the door for Chlark and makes Clark confront his feelings for Chloe. For once, TPTB were spot on! :D
