Tears With Healing Powers!

[niki]

Whoa, her tears have healing powers.
It could have been MUCH MUCH lamer than that, so I think it's pretty cool. It's a power used for goood!

This is crazy!

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

That's just like Fawkes the Phoenix from Harry Potter! Maybe Chole is a phoenix?

[Kid Collins]

Damn that was cheesy!!

:rotfl:

In 4 months she'll be rising from the ashes like a phoenix. ;)

[supermanfan04]

[cmm]

Was also a lot like sailormoon LOL

[B]Actually, I don't think her healing power is lame. She can save lives through a tear drop, that's kind of like being a Dr., Krypton-style.

[MidgardDragon]

Here's the thing about the way they did her power up: it doesn't have to become the focus of her character now. No one even has to know about it. Chloe cried and then passed out, Lois woke up and was healed. Neither of them know how it happened. So Chloe has a power, and sure it can be used as a plot device if they go that route, but it's not the focus of her character and she's pretty much in-tact no matter where they go from here. So wether you think being able to save lives is lame or not, it doesn't really matter, as her power reveal changes nothing, and in Chloe's case that is a good thing, as she's pretty much perfect as it is.

It also can lead to lots of speculation. She healed her cousin, part of her own bloodline, so could she heal others, or do her powers effect only those in her bloodline? Considering how family-centered the events leading into Chloe's power were, I'd have to say that it's a good possibility that this isn't a healing power that will be able to be used as an "out" for the writers but rather as a part of her continuing story.

[hemmy]

Well all the spoilers said they were green tears I was let down :)

I was totally thinking that!! But I think this might mean the end of Chloe.... :(

Did anyone else also find it ironic that the dam that they where all at looked a lot like Alkali Lake in X2?? The lake that we saw the rise to a certain other Phoenix at...... ;) I dunno, maybe that's just the X-men fan in me... :)

[green lantern_96]

i have a feeling that this is the last we will see of chloes power, it mainly arose from the fact lois is the only family she has left and dont want to lose her, there was more emotion for her in that moment than any other

Oh, God, don't remind me!:eek:
(I was a huge fan back in the day.)
Surprised that didn't come into my mind, too.

I just thought something like "Hey, She brings back
the dead!"

At first I thought it was lame, but then I realized,
hey she HEALS people!

But I certainly hope Chloe lives. :eek:


She's my second favorite character next to Clark
and she was looking awfully dead there near the end.
All gray and pasty like Lois did just moments before.
Bad sign! Bad, bad sign!!:(

[silentsea]

I was thinking more of that Chuck Norris joke when I saw this episode:

Chuck Norris tears cure cancer. Too bad Chuck Norris never cries.

[Baron Karza]

HEALING POWERS?!? THAT'S the best they can do?!? Healing powers?!?

And that cheesey-a** falling teardrop scene? You see that like 10 times in the fletchin' pokemon series. Holy SMOKES! Did these guys study literature in college to crank out this spoo?!?

I tell you what, they better not get rid of Chloe. I mean, I know alot of people think she's lame but just look at that face (looks at GL_96's avatar). Those soulful, languid eyes are the only thing that gets me thru some of this garbage these guys are slinging at us.

Anyway, yeah. Please guys. I know you've got budgets to conform to and deadlines to meet, but you're not writing a kiddie show, okay? Please.

[MidgardDragon]

Here we go again. I love how the ability to heal is lame now. No wonder many of the world's medical systems are complete crap.

Well said. I just want to make it clear that I appreciate the acting abilities of all the Smallville actors, and send kudos to all of them for the things they do for us as fans. But seriously, I was hoping all the spoilers about Chloe were gonna be dead wrong - ugh, what an unpleasant surprise. Truly this meteor ability in such a monumental and significant character like Chloe was unquestionably lame.

I like your theory about it only affecting her family... That is an interesting thought. It will be cool to see where they go with this.

I don't see how Chloe's power was 'lame' though. It's really cool IMHO. :)

Nice!! I was dreading what her power would do to her character. But, you've given me hope that she'll stay Chloe.

:rolleyes: Someone just needs to relax. No one is saying healing real people in the real world is lame. No one is calling persons in medical professions "lame". This (surprise) is a television show about a fictional superhero. No matter what anyone says, like I've explained before, I don't think healing power is lame, but the facilitation of that ability in friggin' crying starts the lame ball rollin'; couple that with limiting one of the more significant characters of the show to that ability, and you've hit "Lame Avenue". Of all the abilities we've seen in SV the past 6 seasons, this one is just plain wrong to *stick* to Chloe. It would've been better for her character seriously to have developed cancer from all the K exposure, or just no abilities at all.

[you_smell_terrific]

I thought she had a beautiful power :) I'm kind of wishing I hadn't read the spoilers telling about it because I basically knew how the entire episode would go down, but I loved it anyway :D

<rant>I hope Lana stays "dead" for a little bit, I'm so god damn sick of this ****ing clana ****. </rant>

*coughs* maybe if that happens Clark can move on to better things

[MidgardDragon]

Daspoo: What you said has nothing to do with what Baron Karza said, which is:

HEALING POWERS?!? THAT'S the best they can do?!? Healing powers?!?

This person said healing powers are lame, flat out, not how they presented it. I wasn't speaking to you, I was speaking to the person that said these lines.

[Baron Karza]

Say WORD! Thor needs to chill over there. Look, if they're gonna give her healing powers that's next? She's gonna turn green, sprout antennae and make dragon balls?

You know, women these days should be portrayed as more empowered (no pun intended). Intelligent, strong. Healing powers just reinforces a not-so-negative but still archaic view of women as life-giving, teet-swinging resources to be exploited.

They should have given her the Canary Cry, man. Or at least Spider senses. Something.

[supertun]

Dudes, all I know is that Chloe rocks super hard, cries healing tears which is off da chain!!! and is still the sweetest character ever! I would never think she's lame :) or her powers :)
I love how ironic it is that after years of dealing with meteor freaks she finally became one!.....anyway, I'm just really excited! :D

That's fine, but my comments in response to yours I think express what Baron was getting at. And technically he didn't say healing powers were lame "flat out". For all we know, he was thinking like me and others that the introduction of those abilities were disappointing after all the buildup to something special in Chloe, and disappointing to have been given to such a major character. Maybe he'll explain it to us at some point.

LOL - I thought that's what you meant. LOL

[Dxe316]

IM sorry but does no one think that that was the STUPIDEST "super"power ever. maybe not ever but comon.... healing tears... she cried on her mother a few eps ago... that didnt heal her....

[kiariclois]

Lamest power ever...
and Tears are not super power...
It's magic...
hahahaha...

I think Chloe would cry a lot in the future so she could save a lot of people... hahaha... Lame... lame... lame...

It could happen. TPTB have the tendency to forget about what happened last episode and pretend such events didn't exist at all. But I hope this won't be the case.

And I don't think her power is lame and we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Chloe was experiencing grief and strong emotions and this probably brought her healing powers to the surface, manifesting themselves in her tears BUT it doesn't mean that's the only way she can use them.

She doesn't have to cry every time in order to access to them, maybe in future episodes (because come on, we know she is not dead) she will learn to control this power and heal with a touch. That'd be really cool.

[Baron Karza]

It's not that the power is lame per se. It's more than I can do.

It's jut not entirely original AND it's a power that hurts the user. It's an UNpower. Can you imagine if Clark used his heat vision and his head burst into flames?

What if it turns out that's the extent of her power? They gonna stab somebody every time they need to work her into a story and are tired of the unrequited love schtick?

Bah! Maybe they SHOULD have gone with krypto- freak detection. Maybe rocket boobs. Oh! The Golden Lasso power was kinda cool. They could water that down and give her super-truth detecting powers.

Ah, I just don't know.

[Pamela]

I was a bit let down with Chloe's power too. I had the theory that she would prove to be indestructable, i.e. be able to heal HERSELF after getting shot, stabbed, or whatever. And of course do it automatically WITHOUT tears. That power would come in handy.

What makes you think they're going to use this power so much that they have to think up ways to put it in? What makes you think it'll be reused at all? Chloe doesn't even realize what she did. It's also possible that they could explain a way for her to use it without it draining her so much. For example, practice. Perhaps a tear isn't the only way to manifest it? Maybe she can even learn to heal without crying? There is potential here and there's no reason they have to go down all these roads that all the haters are suggesting. Chloe never has to use the power again for all anyone knows, and it was a nice touching moment between her and Lois that puts her in proper peril for the finale. No big deal. No reason to get upset and go on the "LAME" rampage.

[Baron Karza]

They already used it. They are already using it. THAT'S what makes me think that.

Will she use it again? Really don't care. As long as they don't write her out of the show.

The scene was indeed nice. I think I saw it on an episode of the Powerpuff Girls.

[silverstreak]

yeah, i thought her healing powers was cool. i would of never thought of that. that was a good surprise!

[FiReFTW]

Lois was dead though

It would be kinda strainge if Chloe could bring back the dead , then she could bring back anyone :P

i wonder how it works , maybe its just few mins after someone died , or few hours , then it doesnt work anymore

[adromidon]

How do you know Lois was dead and not just knocked out.

Also maybe she can only bring people back from the dead that have been dead only a short time if infact lois was dead

[Clana4Life]

Knocked out? Her entire face was blue and she was lying in a pool of her own blood. It literally looked like she had died from blood loss - the result of a knife jabbed in her gut.

[adromidon]

true but have you ever seen someone that is close to death and lost alot of blood? They are really pale.

At anyrate if she was dead that would lead me to believe that some restraint to her power must exist such as maybe the body can not have been dead more then a few hours or something or possible she has to feel an emotional attachment to the charecter.

[Lara Lane]

If Lois was dead, then Chloe can't heal people. She can bring them back to life.

She'd be like, the queen of the zombies :p

I think Lois was not dead, just about to die. Or would it be cooler if Chloe could revive people rather than just heal them?

[Kyogre]

LAME it suits chloe

[Clana4Life]

Is Lara Lane a DC character? I know Lucy Lane is Lois's sister who at one point dated Jimmy - at least according to the Supergirl movie.

[JBW157]

Okay, i really don't understand why everyone was calling that power lame.

IT BRINGS YOU BACK FROM THE DEAD.

that's pretty damn powerful.

even if it did (maybe) kill her in the process.

[Lara Lane]

Mr. Mxyzptlk once showed Lois and Clark a possible daughter in the future which name would be Lara Lane-Kent. I think it was in Adventures of Superman #630 :D

[SVTpat]

One think that I think some people maybe missing is the fact that, Chloe and Lois have no idea what just happened. They have no idea how her powers worked. I doubt Chloe is going to wake up and say, "this is how I did it!" Could make good story of her finding out how her power works... that is, if she even remembers. Other than that, her power will only come up at the last minute and never the main focus, as everyone has talked about.

[Saber]

I love the fact that Chloe can heal. It can be high in demand in this day an age. Imagine all the good she could do, the inner dilemma of who does she heal.
Will she heal the good as well as the bad people of the world?
Does she judge who gets to benefit from her power?

There are a lot of ethical as well as moral issues with this power. If they are creative enough, they can really show her trying to establish a credo for her to go by.
I think this power is productive and very cool to have, maybe she’ll teach Clark a few lessons along the way.

[adromidon]

maybe there is some condition to her powers such as maybe she has to really want to save the person not just do it to do the right thing maybe if she subconsiously thinks they deserve to die her powers will not work

[pharaoh8]

people remember that al gough said they were going to explore chloe's power futher. so it might be more than just healing people.
I thought it was cool, chloe's pain for lois' death, all those feelings and wishing that lois was alive was all put in her tears.
I'm excited to know how they are going to explore this.

[adromidon]

Chloe is the next messiah. lol She will develope a following of 12 disiaples and heal the sick where ever she goes

[pharaoh8]

oh man. lol

[adromidon]

lol I thought you know clark hurts them Chloe heals them what a team

[pharaoh8]

hole rusted metal, batman. lol

[adromidon]

she will be his robin man the Superfortress and heal the weak.

On her off days she will do reporting for the daily planet and pretend not to know her dirty little secret "she like to heal"

lol Seriously I wonder how they are going to relate her powers to clark they have to in some way or another since they are best friends.

[pharaoh8]

yeah that is true.
but there has to be more to it than just the healing tears don't you think.

[adromidon]

yeah

[pharaoh8]

i'm still stuck on the whole messiah thing. lol.

[adromidon]

lol yeah I thought that may ethier get some laughs or piss off some people which would not be intentional

"Chloe my faster is sick with the plaque will you heal him"

Chloe raises her hands and places them on the old man "Your Sins are obsolved you are now healed. Live long and hate the Luthers"

lol

[pharaoh8]

yeah. as much as i hat the luthors I love them as well. they are evil to the point of ,...... i don't even know what. =)

[adromidon]

yeah they are pretty evil

[pharaoh8]

you know what... evil is just not the right word.

[adromidon]

lol this is true.

[pharaoh8]

Now the quest to find a great word for how evil the Luthors are.

The best I can find is wicked.

yeah, I like wicked.

[adromidon]

Wicked ? hmm not mean enough

[pharaoh8]

ok ok. so help me think of one.

[adromidon]

hmm how about benevolent dictator. No wait that is Bush

Umm it is hard to pin point

[adromidon]

Ok i am guessing we have some people here that ethier did not like that comment or do not know what to say lol

[pharaoh8]

LMAO

and this is true.

[adromidon]

I mean just because I compared Bush to a benevolant Dictator should not scare anyone off.

lol

[pharaoh8]

even if it's true. lol

[adromidon]

lol

[adromidon]

According to the spoilers Chloe will survive Yeay

[pharaoh8]

she has too. she is main part of clark's story.

[adromidon]

Yep I figured she would but now we have proof

[pharaoh8]

yeah. especially now that she has powers.

[adromidon]

yep she can heal people she is a regular Prodical healing the sick and needy

[pharaoh8]

lol. which honestly it's a cool power to have.

[adromidon]

Yeah but it would get annoying having to heal everyone

[pharaoh8]

why?

[adromidon]

Once the word got out Chloe would have lines of people needing healing lining up infront of her waiting to be healed

[Zaine07]

But Chloe is not going to go public about her powers. She is going to kinda keep it a secret just like clark and his powers.

[adromidon]

But will she tell Clark ?

[Zaine07]

of course... why wouldnt she. They are bestfriends and they tell each other everything. Chloe is gonna tell clark and probably no one else. She might also be afraid to tell jimmy and that might cause a rift between them.

[adromidon]

Yeah that is true. And she may think Clark can handle it because for one Clark knew she had a power but did not know what it was and two because Clark is special himself

[pharaoh8]

i agree.

[adromidon]

They may still team up and make the new Dynamic Duo Clark and Chloe allthough she would need a fancy costume and a cool superhero name.

[pharaoh8]

like what?

[adromidon]

Umm i do not know Kryptoheal or Healerific


god those are awful names i do not know but she could get ahold of that K that gives humans temporary Kryptonian powers and help Superman at times

[pharaoh8]

LMAO

oh man, i needed that laugh

[adromidon]

yeah She can be Chloe by day and Supernerd by night lol

[pharaoh8]

that is just wrong.

or they can just call her crybaby

[adromidon]

lol yeah that would work

[pharaoh8]

hehe. she could team up with johnny depp

[adromidon]

LMAO yeah they can be Superman's lackys

[Zaine07]

johnny depp!!! lol!!! he cool. But chloe should team up WELSEY SNIPES!!! They would make an awesome team... lol

[adromidon]

lol
