:lol: Nice of you to twist his words around. He is still about reporting truth and justice. I might remind you of a certain episode where Chloe said if you can prove the existance of a UFO that's a front page story for the DP. Ha! Now that seems to be forgotten. And if you would pay a little closer attention he didn't print Lois' story because she lacked prof.

I loooooooove him.

Oh, and somebody mentioned his age, well if you were paying close attention he is the "new wonderboy reporter" you don't need to be a old hack to know what is news and know how to write it.

Muahahahahaha. Lois is at the Planet.

Chloe....lost her mojo....:rotfl:

Of course Chloe haters love him... this is their dream episode...

No offense... Chloe was going off what Clark said too... that she didn't know what she saw... that she hit her head by falling in the mud.... She was telling her to back off to protect Clark....

Of course there is no proof... but a UFO piece isn't something that news paper looked for...

The DP lowered it's standard on what it allows on it's pages and THAT was the Only way Lois was able to get hired

No credentials? I think being employed by a paper is more credentials than writing for a highschool paper. Plus, he LOVED her writing. Papers are about talent people. Lois got talent. :D

Um.. no offense he convinced her to write the article.. he read it... he wanted her on there...

also if he loved it... he wouldn't use absurd at how good it is... and he jumped down her throat when she said "you gonna print it.."

Could it be possible... the article sucked, and because lack of proof gave him a way out of saying just that...

I'm not a huge Chloe fans but didn't care for him at all. It's his overall presentation. He came off as a complete jerk at best and an ahole at worse. Then again I think it kinda needed to happen.

Lex is clearly not going to be the "bad guy" in the story now. The government group is most likely going to be the big bad and that's directly related to Kara but we have to have another person to be against and Grant seems to fill the role.

I just don't like that at least for now it seems like they are trying to build up Lois by crapping on Chloe's character. You don't need to do that but that's what it looks like. I'm hoping that Chloe will either leave the Daily Planet for perhaps the Daily Star (that's where Clark and Lois originally worked when Superman first appeared in the comics (back when he couldn't fly but could just jump). The Daily Planet, flying, and seveal other things came later.). Or she she leaves the Planet and her character gets taken in a new direction that doesn't involve the paper at all.

From what we've heard, the Torch was more reputable than the Inquisitor, which is pretty sad. Chloe started with a college intership to get her foot in the door and she's taking classes at Met U in journalism. Lois barely graduated high school. There's no way she would be hired at a real newspaper with these "credentials".

He believed her story, he gave her a chance to write about it, he thought she had spunk and passion. That is why he gave her a chance. He still believed her story and LOVED her writing, but couldn't print it because of lack of facts. I think you seem to forget a certain article about vampires that got somebody else hired because the "...writing wasn't half bad..."

I was thinking of you guys when I watched Grant insult Chloe and I knew exactley what you'd say, and I was right. Still doesn't take away from the fact that Lois rightfully got intot the DP. She is here, she is not queer, get used to it!!!:D

I liked him and it's good to see someone else at the Planet besides just Chloe and Lois and Clark. He gives the Planet attitude. And if anything Grant reminded me of how Lois acts in the future at the planet. Maybe he is her inspiration into being the hard as nail reporter that she becomes who knows. I think he'll be a great addition to the cast.

Lois Lane sees a spaceship and that gets her the job? Give me a ****ing break. Oh, and here I thought "big bad" Lois was going to take down the Luthors? When pigs fly. Oh, that's probably Lois' next story since Chloe actually does grunt work. The only thing this Lois Lane has shown us is how some people in the world seem to think that being a complete ***** is how you get ahead in life. There's your planet, Minela.

In all fairness, he did mention the Torch twice. Which means he must have seen something in her. I loved the line about lighting the torch that went out after hs. He wants them both to compete, it only makes you work harder when there is something on the line.
Chloe has been slacking on the reporter side for a while, and this will be just the kick in the @ss she needs to get back to what she does best.

Still think he's a goober, tho.

Exactly he loved the article and that lois didn't hold herself back she jumped into the story working to prove it and wrote a story he just said next time make sure you have proof so we can print it without looking like we are making things up since people don't beleave what is clearly laid out for them unless they see photographic evidence. Lois didn't hold back to protect someone she went in there and wrote the article so she got the job it was fair. And he is starting her at the basement till she gets proff even though she worked for a real paper not just a highschool tabloid filled with articles about strange people who may or may not have abilitys. Sorry but in real life lois would be higher then chloe now since she writes the articles and throws herself into them trying to prove them no matter what whereas chloe just sits at her desk and write articles that seem to be handed to her.

You are right. I loved the way she got there, but not for the reason you think. I thought it was the exact way as Lois should get the job, based on her passion. And I've been singing the tune of Chloe slacking of in the journalism department for months now. Glad to see the writers adress it. I think you should be glad, this will prompt Chloe to get her butt in gear and write something for a change. Don't worry. I'm sure Chloe will impress the editore in another episode.

No sh!t sherlock she was trying to let it go.. she was protecting Clark!

Also Clark was there... you would think Lois would get an interview with him or use him as evidence about seeing the ship uh? Oh wait Clark would say it wasn't a ship....

Regardless that it's true.. she got the job because she was given a tabloidish story to write...

And he pretty much just handed Lois the job like some random person off the street! :lol:

chloe was hired for the DP because she got "spunk", also she was hired there in highschool because lionel bought the job for her. What has chloe done? no major stories, nothing. So now he hires lois because she has "passion" and her writing is good. so what will she do with the opportunity? well we already know that.

i really enjoyed this episode, and i like the new editor of the DP

Isn’t that kind of like Kahn offering Chloe a job if she brings her a story, but afterwards when she can’t print it she gives her the job anyway even though she had said earlier she didn’t like her writing, felt she had gotten her original job though unethical means and actually had a party when she was fired?

I laughed out loud at that point because it just sounded so similar to how Chloe got into the Planet the last time.

Uh…as mentioned above, didn’t Chloe herself say that a UFO, if true, was front page worthy of the Daily Planet itself? Seems to me that you’re just crying sour grapes, because the writers went out of their way to let us know that Grant was not only successful, but was admired by his peers, which doesn’t suggest any lowering of standards at all.

He just liked Lois’ moxy and her prose period. That’s not only believable, but let’s face it that’s also the exact same reasons Chloe fans feel that she got back onto the Planet’s staff.

I can't say that I actually 'like' the guy, but I do like that he reamed lois, no one should ever waste a moment of polite courtesy on her crap, tell it like it is. The guy is trying to motivate both lois and Chloe in his own brusque sort of way. If Chloe efforts were truly deficient, she would be fired, she isn't so he is just trying to get her in gear.

As a rule of thumb, always return lois' general rudeness with rudeness, she is too dull to understand anything else.

chloe changed the names for the people in that article to protect clark, lana, and everybody else so the facts couldn't be checked and proven so the story wasn't printed but she still got a job at one of the best papers in the country if not the world with only a highschool education and no experience in the real world even with luthorcorp having her blackballed.

Lois hhas worked at a paper it may not be the most respected but she still works to find out the truth and prove what she beleaves she doesn't hide stories because they may be hard to prove she goes out at looks for the proof while chloe just writes the stories she wants and that are "easy" to prove. Face it to the outside world chloe has hit a slump and hasn't been a great reporter in a long time she is to busy worrying what people might think instead of being like lois and hamering her way through till she finds a great story.

How could Grant really believe a UFO story? He doesn't know didly squat about Lois and right off the bat he believes she's being truthful about it. I speculate that if Perry didn't have proof that Superman could fly he wouldn't believe his mother so I don't buy that Grant believes a stranger that her UFO story is 100% on the level.

Oh, how I hated this character!

This is a storyline that I was not looking forward to, but his character was way worse than I expected.

As far as acting goes, he really seemed like a kid trying to act like a tough adult. Everything he said sounded phoney, and yes, it did seem more like he gave Lois the job because of his hots for her. His whole attitude seemed more like he was just a spoiled jerk rather than someone who is hardworking and disciplined. I work for a newspaper but if he were my boss I'd quit.

I'm sorry but despite my personal opinions, I thought Grant Gabriel brought something fresh to the show. I actually CARED about the Daily Planet this time, and the editor wasnt the usual, fast talking, nor stern and firm individual with a heart that has almost become cliche. I liked his pompous and somewhat obnoxious attitude.

xaosthry

10-04-2007, 08:06 PM

Yes, Grant is a weasel. I hold nothing against Lois in this episode. He hired Lois because he spotted a reporter hot on the trail of a story. It's not the story he was after, he wanted to see what she could do. Just like what Kahn did with Chloe. Neither story got printed.

savingpeoplething

10-04-2007, 08:10 PM

Why is it that he knows EVERYTHING about Chloe before he even meets her even though she's working in the basement?

I didn't like him at all. It's not that he did a bad job per se, he just wasn't old enough to be believable and I would prefer an actor that has more edge. His lines were brash, but he didn't sell it for me.

10-04-2007, 08:25 PM

For all those who keep harping on how the DP would never turn itself into a tabloid by being interested in a spaceship story, this is what Saint Chloe herself said way back in S2 during Duplicity, when Pete found Clark's spaceship:

Clark: Just guy stuff. Um, you're not really looking into this UFO story are you? I mean, it sounds like Inquisitor stuff.

Chloe: Maybe, but if there is some truth to it, that's front-page news. For the Daily Planet.

He may not be perfect, but if you saw his interview on the CW website he is so cute in a geeky kind of way. He would have made a great Jimmy.

All Lois had was a few eye witness accounts, but she smelled a story there - and she was proven right when Superman finally showed up.

So that's all what editors are supposed to do? Steal their subordinates stories so they can run away with it and get their names printed in history books?

And here I am wondering why all those years Perry let Lois Lane to become more famous than himself. I mean, why on earth he'd ever let Lois dig for stories of flying aliens instead of himself then i.e. Birthright? Didn't he know the first real evidence of aliens would put him in history books? :rolleyes:

I like Grant Gabriel. His no-nonsense attitude about journalism is something the show needs. He seems to know what he's doing. This guy has the role of an editor down pat. That's how all my editors act.

However, I noticed he said, "Stories pay the bills around here." This isn't true. Advertising pays the bills. I get his gist, but sales only contribute to like seven percent of all income for a newspaper. Tiny flub in the writing, but a statement screams at me.

I think he's great... As I remember correctly, Chloe has never been told negatively about her article... I'm glad Grant did...

I think Grant may motivate Lois to be a great reporter she is bound to be... Smallville is after all going to follow Superman mythos... I'm super happy to see Lois arc in here... I'm so excited to see Lois in DP... :p

2. He is her inmidiat boos and as a boss HAS to know everything about his emplyees???

That seems off to me. True. Besides he thinks Lois is good reporter while he didn't meet her before and probably didn't read her articles. I really think he's working for Lex or is some new psycho.

GaidinDre

I liked him, he told Chloe exactly what she needed to hear. It's about time Chloe resumed her life and got out of the holding pattern she's been in. As for Lois I think it's possible he knew who she was already and wanted to test his premise that she has some talent. That way if he decided to hire her (as he eventually did) he could stick her in the basement thinking she's getting a break rather than her feeling like she's being courted and could ask for more.

You're so anxious to bash Lois when Chloe got her job the exact same way. Her story about lesbian vampires was just as much crap and as unprovable as Lois' story.

I completley agree. Let the wars begin!!! (in a family friendly way of course :)). I think this is a brilliant tactic by TPTB to get both fan camps (Chloe and Lois), to tune in and be entertained. My guess is it will go something like this: Chloe gets a scoop and gets a pat on the back, than Lois gets a story, than Chloe, than both end up on the front page, than Lois, than Chloe...you get my point. Everybody will be tuned in, than we have the Clana ship for all the Clana/Lana fans and we have hot Kara for everybody, and it looks like we will get a mature Clark this season, a new enemy the government and a few twists and turns with the Lex and Lionel characters. Brilliant, this season will rock!

I like Grant for the same reason I like Lois and Chloe and, when he was around, Adam. Given the nature of heavy drama in Smallville, brash characters who flat-out boss the other characters around and criticize them are more than welcome. Lana is the embodiment of everything I hate about the show's emotional pace. Clark and Lex aren't much better, they're always beating around the bush and speculating and dwelling and reflecting on things. Grant's blunt and to-the-point, and that's the kind of thing this show needs.

He didn't say News Stories sell papers... He said "Bring me the story, a Story that sells paper"

He said "old guard way of thinking is the reason why news papers across the country are being thrown away..." So it's obvious he's looking for newer stories that are tabloidish... Lois could have given him fake photos and I bet you, he would publish it...

This is no different then the rival between The New York Post and The Daily News

In order to increase circulation, and to sell more papers if there are exciting stories... that are found in like the Inquisitor... Basically... Tabloid stories with some proof....

I don't care what he thinks about Chloe or Lois but I want him out. There's enough characters already. Now they brought in Kara too. They have MM and Oliver. I think it's enough characters for one show. I don't like that they send Martha away and brought in someone who will have only little to do with Clark's story.

MidgardDragon

10-05-2007, 12:32 PM

Oliver is a one or two episode guest star, Grant is a short arc guest character, Martha and Jonathon are gone, Pete's been gone forever now, how do we have too many characters?

Main characters: Clark, Lex, Lana, Chloe, Lois, Lionel, Kara

Guest star characters: Oliver, Bizarro, Martian Manhunter, Braniac, Grant Gabriel

Now let's look at Season 4's main characters: Clark, Lana, Lex, Chloe, Lionel, Martha, Jonathon, Jason

Guest star characters: Mrs. Teague, Isobell (should definitely count as a separate character as much as she shows up), Bridget Crosby, Kal-El, Alicia

So we have one less main character in Season 7 then we did way back in Season 4, and the guest stars don't really count, even though of the one's I listed we still have the same in Season 7 as we did in Season 4.

I don't like him to much either. He came arcoss as a A$$. Just the way he talked to Chole mad me upset. Glad he gave Lois a chance but he doesn't know Chole to speak that way to her.

I always wonder why people dislike a character for what they do. I mean really dislike them, not just love to hate them. Grant's supposed to be that way to Chloe, it's how his character is written. We're not supposed to like the way he treats her. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the character and how Chloe (will eventually) one ups him and puts him in his place. After all he can't be there forever since Perry White will eventually be the Chief.

I think it's enough characters for one show. I don't like that they send Martha away and brought in someone who will have only little to do with Clark's story.

Well, who knows? Maybe Grant will end up giving Clark an entry-level position too before his time at the Daily Planet is up.

Hey, it's just a thought. ;) Clark's going to have to start working there somehow, or at least getting some more journalism experience since he hasn't written anything since HS, and doesn't appear to be attending college anymore either.

The fact is, Lois was always meant to end up at the DP! The way that was accomplished was however wrong! I mean I don't mind that Grant gave her a job based on a story, that is how you get in after all, what I mind is the way he demeaned Chloe and her talent. Playing favorites at the expense of others is plain wrong, and Chloe needs to stepher game up, for no other reason than to show Grant wrong, and make him choke on his own disgusting words!

I love him. He's confident, intelligent, and speaks his mind. I respect that in a person.

If the DP keeps up it's old style way of thinking, then in the future it would miss out one of it's biggest headline ever: A sexy flying alien in blue tights and a red cape who has super strength and shoots fire from his eyes :lol: Hmmmmmm........... Mere tabloid fodder? Or Pulitzer prize-winning source material?

Plus in the SV Universe, aliens, spaceships, ancient artifiacts from a dead alien race, superpowered humans, billionaires funding human cloning projects with alien DNA are real; so they are fair game as subjects for legitimate news stories.

Lois could have given him fake photos and I bet you, he would publish it... And what proof do you have to back this conclusion? :confused: Events in Kara just proved that Grant won't run a story without evidence backing it up
