Chloe's Power (She's been practicing?)

[Chlollie]

Pretty cool how Chloe uses her power on Jimmy.

[Ilovebeinglost]

Yes, much better than crying every time she has to heal someone. She has side affects depending on the degree of healing.

[ClarksGal]

Chloe's power is awesome.

[erikamichelle614]

yea. the last time we've seen her power.. her tears were what healed people, now its like shes mastered it. how many chances do you think she was able to use it?

[TheLastKryptonian]

Yea I know it's great! But it seems she still takes on the effects/wounds of the person she healed because after she healed Jimmy she was shaking her finger since his cut was just transfered to her. So I guess now she has better control and over time may develop a higher tolerance for pain.

[miks]

and I love it! Without the stupid tears, it's an awesome power

yea, thats how she does it. she kinda takes pain and makes it her own. when lois died, she died. etc..

[sdogg1m]

Ugggg... The beginning of the end for Chloe.

[Gre-El]

I was wondering how she was going to show him. Was she just gonna start crying? :lol:

[theotherJane]

Chloe is E.T.!
:lol:

Why do you say that?

[miks]

I don't think this means the end of Chloe, I feel like she has an even more important part now, maybe even JL member watchtower!

[erikamichelle614]

thats what i thought. she would cry.. but i guess not. its kinda like that kid, cyruss from "visitor" in the 3rd season, except he doesn't take the pain. his was so much better.


but i kinda think her power is like her personality. she is so compassionate.

[SVfan4ever]

This was so much better than the tears. And I'm so glad she finally told Jimmy.

[babyluthor]

That was a great scene! I was expecting she was going to try to use tears, but now she can heal with regular touch! Unfortunately it does look like she absorbs the persons injury when she heals them. This could be a good or bad. Good because she can save people, but bad because she might take it too far like what happened in the season 6 finale.

[superspider02]

Yea i was glad it wasnt tears any more too. Its a hole lot better bring in the hands.

[Chlollie]

I like how she used her hand to heal and not her tears.

[ChlarkMe]

Doesn't it seem like a recycled power from the boy who thought he was an alien and healed Lana's horse? I believe his hands glowed when healing.

Jor-El even gave Jonathan that power temporarily the one time to heal Clark. His hands glowed as well.

On the other hand it's interesting that this power was connected to aliens, healing and specifically healing aliens.

[BeldarofRemulak]

I wasn't expecting her to show Jimmy and when she did I was pleasantly surprised. Her power looks so cool when she did it from her hand. I wonder how she practiced though.

[jazzylg]

Well, when she 'died' healing lois, she regenerated(like claire in heroes). So that little cut she got from jimmy should heal quickly. Think about it, the ultimate test of her power was death, and she came back to life. Once she discovers, or is able to share with clark the extent of her ability, she can possibly heal him from k-rock damage.

[msleggie]

I was a little happy to see that Chloe had some control over her powers.

[miks]

but she didn't actually have the physical representation of the cut, just the pain, so technically there wasn't anything to heal on her

[erikamichelle614]

it didn't seem like just glowing though. there was like this mist that traveled from her hands to his.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. This is just my theory, but given that Chloe is meteor infected, that would mean to me that anything inside of her would be a danger to Clark if it were to get absorbed into him. I'd be interested to see if TPTB attempt to show this.

I didn't notice that, I'll watch it again to see what I missed.

[miks]

yeah she was effected by meteor rocks but doesn't mean it will hurt clark. Clark always fights meteor freaks and they don't hurt him just being around him or using their powers on him, at least not that I can remember

They don't hurt him by just being around him, but it seems to me that Chloe's power involves giving what is inside of her to the injured/dead person. So if what is inside of her is meteor infected, I'd have to wonder what kind of reaction that would give Clark if he were to absorb it.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

The power ruined her character, IMO.

[miks]

I hope not a bad one, I would love to see that kind of connection if she ever healed him

Personally, I'd rather Clark give what's inside of him to Chloe, but I'll take whatever I can get.

:p

[Randy G.]

I really love Smallville, and Heroes both, but when are the writers going to realize that not everyone on the show needs a power? Characters can be just as interesting, and play an integral part in the story, without a power.

TPTB..... I'm pretty sure it's called "overkill." Look into it. Thanks! :rolleyes: :lol:

[AndiGirl]

I love Chloe's power! It's just sums her up completely. She takes in people's pain and makes it her own. Thats essentially Chloe. I also like that it isn't just tears anymore. I actually agree with the theory that Chloe will become a member of the JL. I'm starting to think it will take a lot to kill Chloe, if she can die at all. ;)

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

What a surprise! It happened that soon! Okay, if I'm not mistaken, did she use it from her hands though? It was hilarious. Chloe is metoer infected. I'm glad Jimmy knows.

Yeah, but she doesn't need to be a freak to do that, you know?

[AndiGirl]

No, she doesn't need to be....but she is. I've just accepted it! haha. I agree though, the writers didnt need to enhance Chloe by giving her powers....but if she has to have one, this is definitely the power that defines Chloe to the core.

So does this mean that she has a cut on her finger like Jimmy or just the pain in that area? I was trying to see if she wore a bandage like Jimmy or had a cut but I couldn't tell. Did anyone see if she had a cut or a bandage on her finger later in the episode?

No. She didn't have a cut on her finger. It doesn't work that way. She's able to heal people by making their pain her own.

[krpto]

YaH but whats to keep her from pulling a max(the guy form roswell) and using her powers to heal people who were ment to die I mean whats the point of superman and the JLA risking thier lifes to protect the world when they can just call chloe to heal thier injuries. We need to seee an explanation as to why chloe doesn't just go heal everyone of anything like max did with the kids that had cancer. Maybe Chloe's power only works on non superpowered human in other words it won't work on clark or most of the JL That needs to be made clear so we just doen't have a super bda who depends on chloe fixing everything and healing everyone.

[tejdog1]

Boy, TPTB must've been watching their Star Trek TOS Season 3 DVDs.

It was a beautiful moment. I loved that glowing thing her hands did. She does take on the hurt of the other person, but it is only temporary. Well... she came back to life in the premiere so... I'm assuming it's only temporary.

[ClareKent]

For a moment I though Chloe was gonna cry over Jimmy's finger to show him her power :rotfl: and then I though she might get a cut on her finger :lol: But it was a really nice moment :D

[ginnyfan]

Yeah, I was waiting to see the cut on Chloe's finger also.

IMO, it is not. This enable Chloe to make mistakes, she can't be perfect all the time (even if we want her to). She kind of "freaked out" at being infected, she mishandle her relationship based on her problem of accepting herself and she is learning.

Chloe has grown so much and is probably the most mature character on the show that it would be hard for the fans to see her falter without reason. Something needed to be done to her character to take on a personal challenge and I much rather her be a freak than betray Clark or go insane. Chloe cant be the stagnant research machine of the show.

Again, it was simply unnecessary and sloppy to make her a freak. But again, AlMiles think it's better to shock the audience then to come up with interesting storylines. So, here we are - we have to enjoy their mess. However, Chloe is not the same any longer, her character is ruined.

[daughter of the child]

^ i disagree. chloe has been pushed aside recently and i think its time that chloe gets something. she's my favorite charator and her power reflects herself. chloe is loyal and self sacrificial and she now has the best power of any meteor infected in the show.

is anyone else a jimmy/chloe fan? i was dying in the elevator scene! the pictures! the kiss! the hug at the end!:eek: they are getting better, moving forward to each others arms once more.... i really hope they get back together soon!

and chloe, idk for some reason i dont think she'll tell clark right away... and i really hope she doesn't tell MESSED-UP-FACE CLARK!!!!!!! :\

[InLove_with_Chloe]

That's where I disagree, sorry. This power does not 'reflect herself'. The power changed her character, to the worse. There would have been plenty of ways to make Chloe 'interesting', this season......plenty of ways to avoid her being 'pushed aside'. Instead AlMiles took the easy way out and went "....Woaaah, dude, check it out: Chloe's a freak!!!". That's cheap and silly. And even worse: her character as we knew and loved it, is gone.

[Fly by guy]

I think Chloe having powers is a slap in the character's face. Isn't being a super tech geek enough?
The only good I can see coming from her having a power is if she uses it to heal her OWN broken heart, since it appears Chimmy is OFF again.

[WickedJenn]

I thought that was awesome, she seemed to really have it controlled.

They said she'd use her powers again this season, was that it? I feel like it wasn't, she didn't HAVE to use them, it was more a demonstration...

I agree 110%. A slap in the face.

[Perlenoire7]

I don't like that they gave Chloe a power but it doesn't change the character to much for me - she is still Chloe, she still does the things that she needs to do - Anyway I want to see how far they will go with it.

[samanta]

Chloe's using her power on Jimmy and use her hands for it. How does she know how to do it? They have never showed us that she's been practicing. The last time they mentioned it was when Chloe was so affraid that she was ready to lose her memories to get rid of it :mad:
Can't stand Chimmy.
I'm glad I stopped watching.

[Iluvgreen]

It was sooo cute when she showed him. I'm not sure how she practiced. Has she even shown Clark yet? I don't know. Maybe on animals. lol

I LOVE CHLIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful episode of htem.

[pyroblaze]

Does anyone else get the feeling that Chloe will end up dying later in the series because of her power?

I'm guessing that Clark will be badly hurt or even dead and Chloe will use her powers to save him. She wasn't permanently hurt when she healed Lois and Jimmy because they're just regular people, but Clark is super and he's... well, Clark, so when she heals him, she'll probably end up dying for real.

I really hope that doesn't happen because I'd like to see Chloe live at the end of the series, but I can totally see it coming. Haha.

That's a good point...especially trying to heal someone like Clark...his lifeforce compared to humans is exponentially stronger, that would definitely take its toll on Chloe.

However, after someone mentioning that they're supposedly adding Chloe into the Superman comics in 2008, I'm wondering about her character dying...

Honestly I thought that was the explanation on why she doesn't go around healing every single person.. She takes on their pain and it hurts like a son of a b!tch. I mean sure if I could heal a person/save a life by stabbing myself or cutting a chunk out of my flesh to do it and knowing it would heal I would.. but we don't know the extent. Not to mention the drain physically on Chloe. Plus what if it's only physical wounds that can be healed and not things like diseases. And why would her being able to heal make superman obsolete, that makes no sense. Just because you can heal someone from an explosion doesn't mean stopping the explosion isn't a good idea.

Max only did that one on xmas eve because he was having issues.. but he doesn't continue to do it and there are side effect like liz getting all shocky when she's mad.

I'm down with the power because it does complement her perfectly and I'm ok that she's become a metor freak because it is plausible with all the research she's done with it, because her mother was also infected. so to me its actual continuity.

And I realize there is so much that the writers have been doing off screen (lana and chloe after lana's Death) and a bunch of other stuff.. but there is a purpose for dramatical affect which to me this was.. those things will be explained later.. if we knew she was working on her power would we have been surprised.. no..

But it makes sense that she would in secret. She even told jimmy she's been in denial. She said she's barely said it out loud - that he is the first person she's shown. This was something that was completely about her that she was working on herself and mastering herself so we didn't see it much like Lana with Isis or Lex with Grant (did we see the test tubes or Lana's moving van)..

I understand that people believe Chloe doesn't need powers. I mean look at batman and GA, they don't have powers.. (unless you count being as rich as Lex a super power which imo it is.) But I just like it and it's something that makes her special.. It's something that takes her reliance off clark to save the day.. It's something that does grow her character.

This is smallville Meteror Freak is it's staple and if it has two real marks of Smallville (because Clark is iconic w/o smallville) then it's Chloe and the creation of meteror freaks. Chloe and her powers are the perfect combination of the only truely orginal thing in smallville has to offer; and I'm really sorry that some viewers can't accept that.

I simply don't agree that is my opinion. You have yours, which you have voiced over and over and over and over again. I dont see how becoming a freak is "sloppy" or a "slap in the face" at all.

We can't deny that Chloe does seem to get the short end of the stick, but at the same time she is presented "saintly". She is alway there, loyal to the T, and always has done the right thing. I would think it to be sloppy if the writers started to write her like Lana (Fickle, not making sense, etc.) and have her betray Clark for some stupid reason.

Being a meteor freak, shows a new level to her character, IMO. She actually is making mistakes (with a relationship that you don't want-chimmy) and she is learning to accept herself and expect more out of Clark (for him to realize she is more than a search engine), but you wouldn't see that now would you? You haven't watch this season, so you can't vivually see her charcter becoming "crap". You may hear things online, but that isn't the same as seeing her character.

I am. I still love Chlark, but I do like chimmy and if Chlark isn't planned then I am more than willing to have Chimmy, because Chloe is my fav and I wish her to be happy

I was thinking they could use this storyline too. It would be a great way to show her loyalty and devotion to Clark. But if they go with this, I really hope Chloe recovers at the end and lives through the end of the series.

I am just making sure that at least one person around here keeps on protesting 'til the very end: Chloe is no freak. Not in my Universe, no. That's wrong, wrong, wrong.

Don't mind me, all I want is my message to be heard. Consider me one of those weird guys at the street corner, holding a sign announcing Armageddon....

[clana4everfan2]

Some people on this thread may think Chloe can hurt Clark instead of healing him. But could she kill Bizarro with her powers rather than her healing him. It may be interesting if the real Clark showed up but her powers she used on Bizarro to kill him. Well I'm glad at least they are allowing her to use her powers. I want to know more about it and if she can hurt people. And if she takes their pain and injuries if she healed Clark then would it kill her?

[xaosthry]

When I read the title of this thread I just got this image of Chloe tormenting kittens and puppies just to practice.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of actually.

I can see Clark facing a bad enemy and ends up dying slowly, only to have Chloe use her powers to bring him back, and permenantley dying in the process.

I would still love her dearly, especially if she did that, but I'd probably be a wreck for weeks afterwards. (Yes, she's quickly become my favorite character after Clark.)

[ClareKent]

When I heard that Chloe would use her powers again, the first thing I though was Clark getting seriously injured and Chloe saving him, and maybe dying in the process. I still think that can be possible if Chloe's character is meant to die at the end of the show, which it'd be horrible, but you never know.

[BeldarofRemulak]

She is my favorite over Clark! He just angers me sometimes. But I really did enjoyed this display of her powers rather than the tear drop.

[Serynarpc]

I agree, I'm psyched that she doesn't have to keep over and die each time she uses her power. Perhaps this will help her realize that she's not a ticking time bomb till she saves someone- at the cost of her own life.


erikamichelle614- I agree with you. Chloe's power seems linked to her giving and self sacrificing personality. She always puts others happiness in front of her own.

[umm]

I am glad she is using her powers again, that scene with her and Jimmy when she healed him, and the scene where she told him the truth about herself was great. I don't know where their relationship will go from this point on, bat that was certainly a closure their both needed since the beakup was a tad bit abrupt to say the least.

[CLSmith]

It's possible this is the nature of her power from the get get go.
It just first manifested itself in her tears.

If she's practicing on who or what?

Herself perhaps.

Cut her finger, apply thumb the Chloe Glowy appears and badow!

I claim the term Chloe-Glowy! I'm going to copyright you will be hearing from my lawyers if you use itwithout written consent!!!

:D

[Lauren_779]

I think Chloe's power is evolving. First tears, then hands. Soon(and I hope they show her power again) she might not even get the side effect.

But I was sooooooooo happy to see her power.

[aqgalaxy]

Actually the Hand thing mimics how her Mother uses her power. You see the green Glow on the object, here we see the injured area glow

[Lauren_779]

I wish though this wasn't the last time I we see Chloe's power, but I think it is.

[theWatcher]

It is logical to think that she would try to learn about and harness her abilities. This also shows that she is very brave to take on pain like she does.

[BeldarofRemulak]

I just wish they showed her "practicing". It seems odd at how smoothly she used her power. I mean who could she practice on? Does Clark know the extent of her powers? When did she discover it can be done through her hands? Was she aware of how she used it before? I think there are a lot of unanswered questons, but i really do enjoy her power and the way it look coming from her hand.

[red_cape_7]

this was definitely a big question for me. how does she know how to use her power so easily now?

[RedKRules]

I asked myself the same questions.... but It was really cool....

At this point we thought it was just her tears that healed and when it did it pushed her to the point of death.

Good point! I didn't realize that until you said something here.

Perhaps second generation meteor freaks will have more control? We never did see when her mother originally became infected, though. Pity.

I'm not sure that I loved Jimmy's expression while they were hugging after the Chloe- Glowy. He looked.. apprehensive.

I think he was simply awed. Jimmy thinks people with powers are awesome anyway. And I did agree that the writers kinda forced Chloe's sudden use of her hands as the healing factor. But I'm optimistic that we will get a further explanation of how she found this out in some future episode. After all, she really didn't clarify any details to Jimmy. And he's the only one that know about it right now. I think we will get something, even if it's brief.

[timbojill]

the end is near for the healing I believe. What a perfect way of getting her off the show.

So as far as Clark goes, he only knows she has meteor power, but I don't think she ever told him what it was...correct?

That's my take on it, WickedJenn. She more or less told Clark to back off from questioning her on it. And it hasn't been brought up between them again that I can recall.

Ok, that's what I thought. I'm wondering if she'll tell him anytime soon, and what's been holding her back on it...

Edit: I thought of something that might be holding her back from telling Clark her exact power...maybe she feels that if she tells him what it is, he'll worry about her even more and feel as though he needs to be near her more in case of something. Perhaps she just doesn't want him to concentrate on her too much because of her knowing (basically) the kind of destiny that he's got in front of him. She doesn't want to hold him back...

Just my theory anyway.

[DestinyAw8s]

Oh, I think Clark will definitely find out, one way or another. As to why she is holding back? It could be that she needed time to come to terms with the fact that she is a meteor freak at all. It's quite a turn around for her. And she is only beginning to grasp the maginitude of her power. So, she's still very cautious and only told Jimmy because she felt she needed to share her secret with him under the threat of impending doom. That's what I think, anyway.

Ah, that definitely could be it. I wonder if she would've eventually told Jimmy if that bomb incident hadn't occurred...

As for that, I don't know. Although, she didn't seem to regret having told him and further went on to show him what she could do. I admit he kinda pressed her a little, but she didn't have to reveal it all to him. I thought Chloe and Jimmy were adorable in this episode. Such good acting from both AM and AA, but only TPTB know how they want the characters to develop on this show. I gave up trying to second guess them a long time ago. I love to speculate, but I'm more often wrong than right. :)

To me it almost seemed she was relieved to finally tell someone (meaning the whole secret since Clark only knows she's got a power and that's it)...she's been holding that in for a while now. I could understand her reservations, with how people felt/feel about meteor freaks.

Yes they were good in this episode, I enjoyed their scenes together.

[DestinyAw8s]

I agree, WickedJenn. I think she is relieved and actually happy that she has someone with whom to share her secret. Someone who doesn't appear to judge her or be repulsed by her, especially pertaining to Jimmy. That particular worry was very evident in the elevator when she said, "Some feedback right about now would be appreciated" or something along those lines. And I believe that Jimmy was trying to reassurance her in the only way he could think of, by that sweet, impulsive kiss. Eventhough, they later tried to downplay the action itself.

[supergirl28]

she semms like a pro at this.

[The Krypton Knight]

I just think its wierd that Chloe's power is healing the first place. We've never seen her heal from anything tramatic before (well, not anything more tramatic than the usual gunshots/broken leg/explosions that all the characters miraculously survive), nothing that even hinted at it. It seems like such an easy-way-out, cheesy power. It really should have been some kind of variation of super sleuthing/or intuitive adaptiveness (sylar style!), considering how quickly she solves riddles/picks up hacking skills, etc. I don't know, it just seems like it came out of nowhere and doesn't really relate to Chloe in any meaningful way. (I know, I know, "she's so compassionate" and all that, but still....)

[STFanatic]

Well, there was that time Clark burned the GPS chip out of her.

Which makes me wonder if Lana has it too, she healed quite fast from having Zod puncture a hole in her hand ;)

[All about Clark]

I don't think Chloe could practice on anyone because then they would know she had this power, unless she could heal animals.

[Elite]

i was surprised that she'd suddenly mastered the healing ability.

well, it looks like Smallville's got their very own Linderman - and we know how that ended :(

She mentioned in S6 "Freak" about the amount of times she's been exposed to kryptonite/meteor rocks. Remember in "Obscura", S1 how that cop injected her with it? Not counting all the other times she's come across it. I think it more stems from that specifically rather than her bodily healing abilities.

I think if they made the power enhanced sleuthing/hacking skills, to me that wouldn't be anything that fantastic because she's already good at all that. It would, IMO anyway, be kind of mundane. Maybe this power is not the first one I'd pick, but it makes sense with her personality. Remember what Clark said in S5 "Tomb" after she asked him why Gretchen Winters picked her to appear to? He said "Maybe because you care more about other people than anyone else I know." So when you think of her healing power in that respect, it makes a lot of sense.

This is way out there, but perhaps sometimes the meteor power fits the personality of the person.

Just a theory, anyway :cool:

I think it's more than that. If they are hurt in a particular way the kryptonite seems to affect what's hurt. But being that Chloe has a big heart and her heart is meteor affected, it could be relating to the bodies needs or it's emotional condition at the time of infection. Maybe she was emotionally hurt at the time. Anyways, it is interesting that the kryptonite affects each differently.

[Chlois Supporter]

I think Chloe's ability to heal isn't that she herself heals, and can pass that on to others. But only that she can heal others. Including animals. Remember Cyrus from the second season ep Visitor? He was a meteor freak with the ability to heal people/animals. He also touched them and they healed, along with the same golden glow. I believe that Cyrus and Chloe had the same power. Also whenever Cyrus healed someone, he too had the wind knocked out of him, taking on their pain. Much like Chloe did with Jimmy and Lois.

[ClareKent]

I didn't remember about Cyrus but it's true, just when I thought they gave Chloe an "original" power it turns out that we've already seen it before :(

Yeah, I would think that the personality of the person who has a meteor power would have some basis at least, but more on how they choose to use their power than what it actually is. Powers of FOTW seem to specifically involve what the person was doing at the time of the meteor shower, if I'm remembering right. I do get your point about having her power be "Super Sleuthing" or something like that, how she wouldn't really be acting any differently. They could go a little more in depth tho, like showing how her brain works, honing her powers, etc. They could even have her and Clark train at the same time!:lol:

Seems possible, and I could see the writers going in that direction, but I hope not. It's corny, IMO. A big heart + kryptonite = Healing power? Seems more like fairytale stuff (Not real life stuff, like Superheroes who are indestructible and shoot fire from their eyes) :D

I remembered that, and that was part of the reason why I was kinda wtf? when I seen it. But I don't know about not being able to heal herself, or else how did she come back from the dead?

Yep :(

[Perlenoire7]

I think Chloe's ability was dormant for a long time, it was never really awaken - but she has had it since she was a child. I just want to remind everyone that her mother was able to control her because she had been meteor infected. We can speculate as much as we want on this but until they show us how her mother got infected with Kryptonite in the first place, we won't be able to figure out why she had this particular power. As someone mentioned earlier the nature of the power that fotw develops has a lot to do with their personality but most importantly what they were doing when the first got the exposure. We never actually find out how Moira Sullivan got infected - I mean Chloe was a small child when her mom realized that she could control her - I thought Chloe was from Metropolis - When did they visit smallville for her to get exposed to kryptonite... So many questions unanaswered ....

[All about Clark]

It seems most of the freaks weren't aware of their power in childhood, but became aware in adolescence or young adult. I too think Chloe was infected long ago when her mother was infected.

I actually like that Cyrus had this ability before Chloe, it doesn't seem so impossible.

[ginnyfan]

Cyrus' power was slightly different from Chloe's. When Cyrus healed the guy with the broken neck and the sick horse he didn't take on their illnesses or injuries. Chloe would have.

But yeah still healing. Chloe just has... side effects...

Ok here is what Smallville Wiki says:

"Chloe's parents are Gabe and Moira Sullivan, who have been divorced since Chloe was five. Moira is a metahuman with the power to control Chloe telepathically, so she had herself committed when Chloe was eight and has been in a mental institution since Chloe was 12."

...

"Sometime before actually moving to Smallville, Chloe and Moira were exposed to meteor rock radiation and Chloe suffered a mutation that remained latent until it manifested when Chloe was twenty years old as mysterious healing tears."

http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Chloe_Sullivan

It may have been at some point that her parents perhaps visited Smallville, but, it had to have been after the meteor shower in 1989 obviously. Chloe was born in 1986...thus she would've been 3 at the time of the meteor shower, and then her parents divorced when she was 5. So sometime between the ages of 3 and 5 her mother was exposed, discovered what had happened and I'm thinking that was the rift that caused the divorce and eventually lead to her instituionalization.

Hmm. How so? I think Chloe has been taking so much trash from people she deserves a little spot light. Having this power hasn't crippled her character to me, except that one time when she wanted to be normal and went to that doctor. Something I would never expect Chloe to do. Don't worry anyhow, the writers have a way of reversing the stories. Look how they cleaned up Lana in this episode. ;)

Anyhow, what I'd really like to know is whether or not Chloe's power can help her self heal quickly from some sort of major injury...

[Welling_is_pretty]

My first thought when Chloe was healing Jimmy was "wow, she doesn't have to cry to heal anymore?" So yeah, seems like the Chloester has been practicing.

Ok, anyone else have flashbacks to Star Trek (the original series) and that empathic chick who healed by taking people's injuries away and transferring them to herself then healing herself? I totally thought of that when Chloe said her neosporin line.

As for Chloe's healing ability (also reminded me of Shawn from the 4400), I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, ok, it seemed a bit weird that all these people got infected and Chloe didn't. But at the same time it seems like a cop out to have the one normal, intelligent kick ass girl in the show suddenly have powers. Sort of a case of "we've done everything interesting with Chloe that we can. Time to turn her into a Kryptomutant! That'll open up some storylines!"

I dunno, I think I'm going to have to wait and see how this goes.

I totally agree with this. I definitely don't have a problem with Chloe getting more screen time, I just wished they would have utilized her already interesting traits. The power does seem like it came out of nowhere, and is being used more as a plot device than anything. This isn't Chloe bashing at all, I just don't see the point to giving her a power NOW, after all this time. Hopefully they integrate this into a larger storyline, ALA the eclipse, and it's release of Bizarro, instead of a half baked plot to rid the world of humans. (At least, that's my theory:))

Though yet again all the 'learning' happens off screen. We should have had at least one scene, or even a throw-away line . . . ahh I'm used to it though. Happens with all the characters.

I agree that it's much better than crying. It seemed like a kind of romantic moment, with the glow and the music. Chloe surely has a much nicer feeling power (to watch that is) than other meteor infected. No I'm not using 'meteor-challenged' its stupid, they aren't lacking meteors they are INFECTED by them.

to quote you "I totally agree with this".

Her power did seem to come out of nowhere and does seem to not fit in with the larger storyline. And it occured to me this is not exactly the most useful power for her to have regarding Clark. He heals pretty well on his own so she's not going to be a big help to him with it! (course she might be kept busy healing his friends! Heck the number of times she will probably have to heal someone's head after a concussion--! :lol: )
