The very last scene.. clark and lana didn't even know what to say or do. It was just awkward. I don't even know how to explain it. They are history. If the only way lana knew it wasn't him was through a physical aspect, its over.

The fact that chloe has known clark forever shows how much better she knows him than lana.:rotfl:

I felt this emotion shown in the last scene was really exquisite acting. They both did an incredible job, I couldn't have believed it more!

Oh and I'm glad they are so awkward because I want clana over! :)

The reason Biz blew his cover was, because he hurt Chloe.
Biz claims to know CK's thoughts, intersting that Biz felt no warmth towards Chloe.

I defintely agree with this comment ... I was expecting them to say anything, expecting Clark to maybe turn to Lana and say, "I still love you" or "What the hell were you doing with Bizarro why didn't you know it was me dagnabbit we shouldn't be together or maybe we should 'cause you do make me smile but then again think about all that we've been through and mmm I love pie and I miss my mommy dang can we sleep now" ...

But the silence, with the music overlay, was gorgeous and powerful enough that no words had to be said.

Biz is the opposite of Clark. There should be no warmth between Biz and Chloe. That's reserved for only Chloe and Clark and the Chlark scene showed that in spades. Clark's hurt at Chloe's skepticism as she backs away and his relief when she jumps into his arms, not to mention his grin as he walks into the DP and sees Chloe.

The Chlark was perfect in this episode and it highlighted not only the difference between Chloe and Lana but Clark's relationship with both girls.

I have to be honest.
I came home around 6pm, and I watched Tuesday episode of house on the dvr.
Then watched smallville at 8pm, then watched lost at 9pm.
And smallville had better writing , better suspense, better ACTING, than house or lost.
I was shocked because normally its the reverse.
I am proud of Almiles work and the actors in this episode.
It was really good.
I felt bad for clark, lionel , bizarro , dax-ur, and I hated Lex and braniac.
Great writing. Good stuff.

I dont know about the other shows. But, last night's epi was very good. Only 2 bits I didn't care for. Lionel/Lex convo "It's you I've lost", and Lex screaming in the rain. Biz/Clana was the best! I loved Lana in this show. Simple, straightforward story-telling! If they keep this level of writing up, they will have made a successful transition out of the JK/MK era of Smallville.

The flirting scene in Bizarro (Biz/Lo) lacked warmth ? Biz didn't seem annoyed at all, EVEN after she slapped him.LOL
If you compare the Biz scene w/ Lois in Bizarro, and the Biz/Chloe scene in Persona, it's similar to CK on Red-K w/ his inhibitions getting stripped.

IMO. Biz, being a double of Clark, takes on the same emotional attachments that Clark has.

Clark claims to have loved Lana from the moment he saw her. Biz has Clark's memories of Lana and says in Gemini that seeing her again was like falling in love with her all over again.

Clark's weakness for Lana also seems to be Biz's weakness.

Right he's twisted he's the opposite.

Chlark=Bizois

Clois=Bizoe

Clana=Bizana is the same because Lana is the opposite now... Clana is Clark loving the Pink Princess, Bizana is Bizarro loving the Dark B!tch (the opposite of the PP)

Still, he wasnt annoyed with Lois at all, even after she slaped him and he manhandled Chloe just cause she wouldnt help him, seems to me he´s got some issues with Chloe. I guess Bizarro has some of Clark´s feelings and to me Clark views Chloe as a sidekick so obviously Bizarro will as well, hence he got anoyed when his sidekick didnt fullfill her duties.

Hmmm

Clana= Bizlana cause Lana was not darker nor pinker than she´s been through the duration of season 7, its not like Bizarro met a completely diferent Lana that Clark had left in Blue. Iconic Bizarro I would agree, but SV´s version of Bizarro is not one who follows the "Oposites" rule, he´s a lot like red k Clark but with an agenda and not just living in complete freedom.

And Iv never seen Clark misstreat Lois and considering she purposely tries to get on his nerves he´s quite pacient with her.

No offense, in Cure it showed Chloe not wanting to help Clark, not being his sidekick he grew concerned. Bizarro was annoyed by Chloe even before her saying to wait, because he made faces behind her back. On more the one occation Clark stated how he wished he could fry Lois with his Heat Vision and how he doesn't like her. Bizarro and Chloe is like Clois.

Bizarro has Clark's memories but his perspective is clearly the opposite, he dislikes Chloe just like Clark dislikes Lois

Lana confessed to everything she's done to Bizarro, she's darker, manipulative, not speaking in that "oh so innocent" voice. Also Bizarro never met Lana, until Gemini. Also Clark said in Wrath that Lana is darker. He's in love with Lana of Season 1-2, NOT of Season 7, compare the two Lana's you see the difference.

Yes he is. Lana is different. Clark said he's been in love with Lana since he was Five, is that Lana, the Pink Princess Lana, the Lana of Season 7? NO. She darker, she herself is the opposite of what she's been in Season 1-3. That is why Bizarro loves Lana, cause he loves her for who she is, while Clark loves the image of who she was.

I never said Bizarro and Clark were the same, but its funny that there are none of Clark´s feelings for Chloe present in Bizarro and since Crimson we know Clark fancies Lois (phisically not romantically)

I know it does not help you´r cause bella but Clark likes Lois, yes they banter but we have canon that confirms they regard each other as friends, and people who dislike eachother are not friends.




Lana confessed to everything she's done to Bizarro, she's darker, manipulative, not speaking in that "oh so innocent" voice. Also Bizarro never met Lana, until Gemini. Also Clark said in Wrath that Lana is darker. He's in love with Lana of Season 1-2, NOT of Season 7, compare the two Lana's you see the difference.

I think Isis is the least of Lana´s evil deed´s this season, Clark saw her powerdrunk in Wrath and know´s she killed her clone, he knows she stole money from Lex, IMO the isis thing doesnt change much. Plus its not like Bizarro and Lana were cooking evil plans in bed, Biz had romantic feelings for Lana and as it seemed he only wanted to survive and live his life with Lana.




I never said he does, he does state how he doesn't like her yeah, but he would never touch her because he has a conscious

My point was that what you were saying was baseless (the Clois = Bizloe) and again as much as it pains you Clark LIKES LOIS, sorry but its canon, I dont want to get all Chlois thread in here but just watch Arrow, Lucy or even Oracle (as much as you find it hard to belive) and you´ll see that they consider themselves friends, friends like eachother.

Kal wanted a warm body, and Lois was throwing herself at him. he doesn't fancies Lois, she's just attrative. Yes I know they are friends, yet they hardly show that they are. In Wrath he sees Lois hurts he goes "Lana did this?" He doesn't go "Oh Lois I was so worried" he didn't even care it seems she was hurt. In Kara, he had no probably saying goodbye to her cause he isn't close with her.

What dark side of Lana? I didn't even see Lana do anything dark in this episode. It's ubelievable to me how Lana using her computers at the Isis foundation equates to her being "dark." If she kidnapped or stole or spied on people, that's dark, IMO. Bizarro was perfectly happy with Lana making dinner for him on the farm and being her pink princess self. That's why I don't buy this opposite thing.

Kal wanted a warm body, and Lois was throwing herself at him. he doesn't fancies Lois, she's just attrative. Yes I know they are friends, yet they hardly show that they are. . .
Its the type of relationship they have, remember Lucy, it seems to me that given their personalities they dont like to admit they like eachother but they do

Lois: So we are friends now?
Clark: I wont tell anyone if you dont.

And Clark fancying her phisically and being atracted to her isnt the same thing?? And lets not forget how Kal is with girls, as soon as they start anoying him he leaves them, when Lois went about him being a farm boy, Kal would have regularly just blow her off and go search for a nother hot moma, but amazingly enough he had the patience to take her up to the roof and impress her. Now Im not saying this means Clark loves Lois but I think she atractive so he finds her atractive, I dont see the problem with that.


In Wrath he sees Lois hurts he goes "Lana did this?" He doesn't go "Oh Lois I was so worried" he didn't even care it seems she was hurt

This just proves Clark is uncapable of thinking bad about his perfect angel Lana


In Kara, he had no probably saying goodbye to her cause he isn't close with her

but he did so speculating on it isnt necesary

Which brings me back to my point, Bizarro wasnt all that diferent from Clark so his little patience for Chloe stood up. Again Im not saying Clark doesnt have patience for Chloe or that he´s holding some grudge, no no; my point is that Bizarro has Clark´s memories so my theory is that Clark views Chloe so much like a sidekick (perhaps she typecasted her self) that BIzarro took that to an extreme and was pissed she wasnt performing her duties.

So basically your argument is that Clark does not have any feelings for Chloe at all, does not regard her as a friend, doesn't give a crap about her and the only reason he talks to her at all is to get information and expects her to fulfill her duties. Is that it?

I think he does love her (as a friend) but their relationship dynamic has been stuck in the sidekick one for at least two seasons. Remember in Combat how anoyed Clark got with Chloe cause she couldnt find the Combats promotor?? It reminds me a lot of Bizarro loosing his patience with Chloe this last epi, even the apology seemed very similar.

Also that Bizarro doesnt deal with the same thing the same way Clark does, so he took Chloe´s sidekick role as her obligation, I think Clark on the other hand is thankfull Chloe does what she does for him.

Also we know how it ends, THAT´S also our basis for Clois, that´s the good think when you´r a cloiser, no need to grasp at straws or make up silly theories, we just have to wait and know that even if we dont see it in Smallville Clark and Lois end up together.

It's spelled psychoanalyzing, and believe me, that takes time. We are just judging off their POV within grounds of the rules. Chlark came out strong.

Really? Because the last few posts in this thread tried very hard to prove that Clark only uses Chloe for information and has little or no feelings towards her.


Remember in Combat how anoyed Clark got with Chloe cause she couldnt find the Combats promotor??

Yes but I don't remember her being scared of Clark as she was of Bizarro. Friends lose their patience with each other, they share harsh words, they even fight and it hasn't only been Clark losing his patience with Chloe. Chloe has told him what he doesn't want to hear on numerous occasions. Quite a contrast to Clana where they tiptoe around each other afraid of speaking their minds.


think Clark on the other hand is thankfull Chloe does what she does for him.

They're a partnership. Lana picked up on it and indicated her jealousy when she mentioned that Chloe wasn't the only one good with computers.

Nope I see theyr banter as subconcious flirting (ive been in similar situations) I recall Ketherina Stratford and Patric Verona in The Taming of the Shrue or Mr Darcy and Liz Bennet from Pride and Predjudice that both relationships stared with hevy banter and an aparent hatred that ended up as deep meaningfull love. Also we know how it ends, THAT´S also our basis for Clois, that´s the good think when you´r a cloiser, no need to grasp at straws or make up silly theories, we just have to wait and know that even if we dont see it in Smallville Clark and Lois end up together.

What exactly are you waiting to see on Smallville? And if you take great comfort in the undisputed fact that Clark ends up with Lois, then none of his relationships on SV should ignite such nit-picky debates.:)

Perhaps my english, or you´r english is failing but I never said theyr banter means they love eachother, but like in the examples I quoted it is posible that that banter/hate ends up turning into love. And as we know, it does happen, so Im not worried at all.

the action mostly, I like action movies, Im a shiper cause I have loved Clois since I read comics as a boy, I coincidentally started reading comics around the time Clois finally became a reality and not just Lois chasing Superman who is chasing Lois as Clark. But really in the end the shiping doesnt bother me, unless its Clana, not perse but cause its now beyond my suspence of belief and boring. I much rather see a grea fx fight between Clark and Bizarro than Clark confesing his love to Lois, like I said I know that happens, so its not a priority on my list.

And just cause I like debating doesnt mean Im pasionate about other ships, oh and Im sort of have my personal agenda, see I was never too involved in the forum but when I see inacurate statements I tend to debate them.

I think he does love her (as a friend) but their relationship dynamic has been stuck in the sidekick one for at least two seasons. Remember in Combat how anoyed Clark got with Chloe cause she couldnt find the Combats promotor?? It reminds me a lot of Bizarro loosing his patience with Chloe this last epi, even the apology seemed very similar.

Also that Bizarro doesnt deal with the same thing the same way Clark does, so he took Chloe´s sidekick role as her obligation, I think Clark on the other hand is thankfull Chloe does what she does for him.

It's spelled psychoanalyzing, and believe me, that takes time. We are just judging off their POV within grounds of the rules. Chlark came out strong. Chloe knew it wasn't Clark, while Lana loved the villain. Brainiac and Jor-el knew it was the phantom. The message of the episode in terms of the chlarkana is that Chlark is a better match then Clana.

Personally, I don't believe Bizarro's reactions to people are any sort of conclusive reflection on Clark's feelings. He is aware of how Clark feels about people, it doesn't mean that Bizarro's own feelings have to be the same. I think the way they presented Bizarro on the show made him his own person totally, even while being in Clark's skin. He wasn't Clark's opposite, he wasn't Clark's spirtual or emotional twin. He was an entirely different entity. And therefore, IMO, his reactions to Lana, Lois or Chloe mean absolutely nothing to me.

I think that the message was that Clana is based on both Lana and Clark´s idealizing one a nother and never actually took the time to know eachother but I think even Jimmy would have known Clark wasnt himself if he had seen Clark hurt Chloe. But I do think Chlark is much healthier than Clana, no arguments there.

My original point was that Clark is too depending on Chloe helping hima and that either in the story or the writers have been stuck in the sidekick dinamic for too long, Id like at least some mention taht Chloe and Clark went to the movies together or somethin, but all we get is them working together to fight crime.

The very last scene.. clark and lana didn't even know what to say or do. It was just awkward. I don't even know how to explain it. They are history. If the only way lana knew it wasn't him was through a physical aspect, its over.

Like how it was meant to be over in Reckoing then it took 3 episodes for them to break up?


The fact that chloe has known clark forever shows how much better she knows him than lana.:rotfl:

Well, had Biz not let his guard down and grabbed Chloe the way he did, she may have continued to be fooled by him.

Well, I think we know Bizarro isn't Clark...so I don't get the argument that because Bizarro disliked Chloe and was head over heels about Lana at this time in Clana's relationship post-Wrath mind you, that means Clark has no feelings for Chloe- if he is going to express his feelings exactly the way real Clark does, then Bizarro would have genuinly had feelings toward Chloe as a friend...he didn't. But I think we can all see by pretty much every episode that Clark does care deeply for Chloe, and the hurt he expressed when Chloe backed away from him and his 'look me in the eyes' and the hug...they do care for each other. If you are going to say that because Bizarro Clark didn't go treating Chloe like a sleeze...well, isn't that a good thing?

Oh, and Bizarro was more fearful of Chloe, because he knew that she knows Clark better than the other girls so he has to be more careful in the way he act around her.

But whatev....the difference between Chlark and Clana was made very clear in this episode by the way each reacted to real Clark's return and which knew him best, and who was trying to be like who to Clark 'See Clark I can hack too!'

Lois wasn't even mentioned in the episode so I don't see the point in discussing my opinion about her importance in Clark's life at this point.

This is where I'm going to have to step in here. Why did Chloe know that it wasn't Clark? It was because Bizarro screwed up royally and forgot all about the shield. Then Chloe told Bizarro to go home and take a breather and that is when Bizarro forcefully grabbed her arm demanding that she tell him where the shield is. Then he tries to cover it up by saying that he was hoping that she could jog his memory. I said before this episode ever aired that I was going to be taking a close look at how Bizarro handled himself around both girls if I were to judge Lana and Chloe in this episode. I'm sorry, but I have to be fair here and say that Bizarro never did anything as bad with Lana as he did with Chloe. He was blatantly bad with Chloe and grabbing her arm was the icing on the cake. And if that wasn't enough, when Chloe confronted Lana about Bizarro's behavior, does she think to tell Lana about Bizarro grabbing her arm and scaring the **** out of her? No, she doesn't. It's possible that Lana would say something completely stupid in response to that like, "Chloe you're lying" or "Chloe, maybe Clark hates you and that's why he did that" but unfortunately we'll never know since Chloe never brought that up to Lana.

Bottom line here is this, perhaps the writers were trying to show that Chloe knows Clark more than Lana, but IMO, they had a lousy way of showing it because everything was handed to Chloe on a silver platter for Chloe after Bizarro put his hands on her. I would've liked to see the same happen for Lana and for her to brush it off like it was no big deal, but again, that never happened. It just came off as very contrived writing and that's pretty much across the board for the majority of this episode for me. JMHO.

No, they are not out of the date range of which you speak. I am recalling instances from season 6 alone. I will not debate whether you think their time spent in front of the fireplace are "dates or not. Clearly they are spending free time together in those instances and they are not work related.

I really don't think this is chlark vs clana.
I think the writers intentionally wrote bizalana to hurt clark. To show another mini-love story.

IA. They've hurt each other many times before. Lex being the last one. But, this time it's Biz. How much more hurtful can it get when it's you yourself. The ugly truth during the Biz/Clark/Lana scene. Good stuff!



Yes but I don't remember her being scared of Clark as she was of Bizarro. Friends lose their patience with each other, they share harsh words, they even fight and it hasn't only been Clark losing his patience with Chloe. Chloe has told him what he doesn't want to hear on numerous occasions. Quite a contrast to Clana where they tiptoe around each other afraid of speaking their minds.


Well, that's the appeal of Chlark to me. They've had their ups and downs, but the fact they depend and support each other makes them the best developed relationship on the show for me. It's too bad they dont do Clex anymore because that was also a very well developed ship.

Dustmite, Take me back, please!! *crawling on hands and knees* :\



Personally, I don't believe Bizarro's reactions to people are any sort of conclusive reflection on Clark's feelings.

What is the point of giving these examples if they are going to be shrugged off as plot advancement. It was time spent together that wasn't working and that's what you asked for.

Clois doesn't need to be "tainted" by the Clana drama, so I'm relieved it's been on the down low.lol

I enjoyed the concern Chloe showed when she told CK that she took the shield. I believe she thought he might get upset.lol

Yup he really showed that when he lost his cool and misstreted her.

Exactly because Chloe had caught on that he wasn;t acting like Clark would, and so he planned to run off to Paris with Lana so he could escape her suspicions. Makes a lot of sense to me.

No Im saying those examples are plot related. The plot in Labyrinth was the AU Clark was in and what did they talk about in the fireplace??

I want examples like the Lake one, pure leasure get togethers, not something the writers cooked up to tell us something.

Per canon, numerous coffee dates were mentioned. And using your reasoning, if a couple on a date discuss the events of the day or what happened at work--are they working? Of course they would talk about what just happened in Labryinth. Chloe heard Clark fall and didn't know what was going on. When she rushes to him, he hugs her like there would be no tomorrow. Then Clark makes the comment that Shelby saved his life. Why woudn't they talk about that?

Chloe loves Clark for who he is, Lana loves Clark for who she wishes he would be.

I think Clark falling in love with her without even talking to her is a clear indication of this, he knew nothing about her except for her looks. I dont think Clark and Lana really know eachother. Perhaps that last scene meant Clark was doubting his feelings for Lana and Lana knowing she screwed the pooch

Don't you think that these should have been red flags to Lana?

Clark saying he was giving up on finding Kara
Clark agreeing to join forces w/her to take down Lex
Clark being willing to have sex
Clark being willing to leave Smallville

No, not on the same level as what Chloe encountered. I think that Chloe should know that Clark gave up on going after Kara as well, otherwise, Chloe would've been on him all during that month about trying to find Kara. As for taking down Lex, how is that something that Clark wouldn't do? At the end of Progeny, didn't I keep hearing a lot about how Chloe and Clark were going to team up to bring Lex down as soon as Lana was out of danger? So no, that's not out of character. If Bizarro said that he was going to kill Lex or torture him, that's a red flag, IMO.

As for leaving Smallville and having sex, well, here's the deal there. We never saw what went into Lana's decision to have sex with Bizarro, that happened offscreen so it's hard for me to judge something that I never saw. If Lana immediately jumped in the sack with Bizarro without bringing up the fact that he has had concerns about them having sex to clear the air, then I would consider that a red flag. But when it comes down to it, if Lana should raise an eyebrow about Clark being in love and happy with her, then what's really being said here is that Lana should not trust that Clark loves her and believe that Clark is lying to her and essentially using her by claiming to be happy with her. That's also saying that Lana doesn't have a high opinion of Clark at all and I could definitely see her taking massive amounts of heat from people if that were the case. YMMV.

But take the movie example I was asking for: we have two alternatives we see them going to the movies and thats it, then I would count it as a date meant as one, now if they go to the movies and in a scene of the movie we see Chloe and Clark finding a solution the´ve been trying to find then its a plot development date I wouldnt count.

Sex, or the lack of it, has been an issue with these two since he regained his powers in season five. Even when they got together in the current season, it was still an issue.

I completely agree with what you said, those two don't know anything about each other. This episode also proved that Lana is just a little to self absorbed for Clark, Bizzaro worshiped the ground Lana walked on, and the real Clark focuses on more than just her and I think that bothers Lana a lot. Those two should not be together, the silence in the bedroom spoke volumes, if I was Clark, I wouldn't have gotten in that bed.

Perhaps given some deabates in this forums people are a bit defensive and perhaps jumped on me too quick, cause I would never hint that Chlark are not friends and my words put in a proper context would show I dont lie. Its undoubtable that Clark and Chloe a best friends in fact not two days ago I was complaining about Clark not having male friends and that his best friend and second best friend and so on are all girls.

But with LANA! I mean.... LANA! Also just the way Clark was talking was completely different...his voice was deep, and he was speaking so boldly, plus Clark's always been shy about sex and stuff....and Clark being willing to leave behind not only Chloe but his family in the US (Martha in DC and Kara) to elope with Lana in Paris, and a lightbulb didn't go off?

I just think as Clark's 'one true love' who he'd be willing to spend the rest of his life with, she should know him better than Chloe or if not then at least enough to recognize when he's not acting like himself. And considering she doesn't, it's just pathetic imo.

I don't think that it's speculation at all. Chloe didn't ask Clark once about Kara in "Persona". It never came up and if Chloe knows Clark better than anyone, then she should know that finding Kara would be his top priority over everything else. Isn't that what Lana is being blamed for here? That she should realize that Clark would never just give up on Kara?



Help me out here. I don't recall Clark ever discussing the idea of teaming up to take down Lex with Lana.


I was talking about the scene in "Progeny" with Chloe. Clark has discussed killing Lex before in front of Lana. That was in "Vessel". Obviously, those were extraordinary circumstances though.

But again, Lana's decision to sleep with Bizarro was not shown. It is not something that would come up in "Persona" either since the decision was made prior to that point, unlike Clark's search for Kara which should come up all of the time if Clark was still trying to find her and placing that above everything else. Chloe's first words to Clark at the DP would be about asking him how his search for Kara is going, that is if Chloe wasn't told by Clark that he gave up on his search, IMO.

I dont know what dates you are talking about and when they were mentioned. Even if Im wrong and there have been dates here and there, its an undeniable canon fact that since Chloe learned of Clark´s secret they´r relationship turned more and more like hero-sidekick and even progressed to the point where Chloe calls herself Clark´s sidekick and does research for clark even without him asking for it. Now I dont think its a bad thing at least in general terms but I think theyr relationship´s been kind of stuck in that dynamic, ok maybe not in offscreenville where they aparently meet quite often, still I cant judge a show based on what happens OFFSCREEN and in the episodes Ive seen 90-95% if the time Clark and Chloe are in Hero-Sidekick mode.

About that...it does seem that in previous seasons including season 6, Clark and Chloe spent alot of time in offscreenville that was mentioned not only by themselves but other characters like Jimmy and Lana....

But in since Bizarro came- I'm surprised that it made it seem like 'Clark' (well, Bizarro as him) and Chloe might have gone a couple weeks without talking to each other during the past month or two....that just seems a bit OOC...I don't know...

Clark is not a machine. His feelings do change from time to time. Back in season 3, I never thought that Clark would actually trust the advice of Lionel Luthor, but look how that has changed. My point is, I don't think that it's a stretch to think that Clark would take Lana's research from her foundation and put it to good use to stop a very bad guy out there, Brainiac. After all, that is what Bizana were trying to do in "Persona" were they not? The quest to take down Lex seemed to have ended or was put on a temporary hiatus because Brainiac popped up. Obviously Lana didn't know Bizarro's true intentions regarding Brainiac because he was manipulating her.



How can you say that Chloe should have asked about Kara in Persona but it isn't necessary for Lana to discuss the issue of sex w/Clark in Persona?:confused:

Because the decision to have sex is not something that would be talked about every single day. Kara's investigation would be ongoing unless she were found or Clark gave up on his search, IMO. Plus, there was a golden opportunity for Chloe to bring Kara up. Bizarro walked into the DP saying that he needed to find a kryptonian scientist. IMO, if Chloe knew that Clark was trying to find Kara, she would've said something like, "Why are you searching for another kryptonian now when you're still trying to find Kara? Is this scientist connected to what happened to Kara?" To me, that's something that Chloe would say. YMMV.

Well, he told Lana that Kara was missing. Chloe also knew at the beginning of "Gemini" that Clark was up at the fortress so yes, I would have to assume that Clark told her that he went up there to find Kara, unless he lied to Chloe about his trip up there and told Lana the truth.

Well, Chloe doesn't know then, right? So isn't your entire argument that Chloe should have been on top of Clark about find Kara all speculation? It would be in character for Chloe to do so. But if we don't have definitive proof that Chloe knows Kara is missing at this point, you cannot use that as a basis to say that Chloe should have been suspicious that Clark gave up on searching for Kara. (run on sentence..sorry) Or that Chloe witnessed more red flags. It appears that Bizarro was spending way more time with Lana, so Lana would have witnessed the most unusual behavior. You say that the evidence was handed to her but that is not necessarily the case. It may appear that way because, Chloe hasn't seen BizClark for a while, and right off the back she is experiencing several behaviors that are completely out of character for him. The way it was written may give you this impression, but both ladies received numerous red flags-just in a different space of time. One lady knew Clark well enough to pick up on it.

No, that's not what I am saying. I am saying that we don't know if Clark told Chloe about Kara. If we don't know if she knows, you cannot speculate on how she should have reacted to Kara's disappearance in Persona. You can't have it both ways. Either you cannot speculate on onffscreenville or you can.
You say that you can't use offscreenville to support an argument if it will support your opponent's POV. But when it fits your argument, you have no qualms about using it. That's all I'm saying.

Canon...Clark told Lana that he was going up to the fortress to find Kara. Canon..Chloe knew that Clark was up at the fortress. So what you're basically saying here is that if Chloe had no idea why Clark was up at the fortress or thought he was up there for another reason, then Clark lied to her but he did tell Lana the truth about his trip. If that is what you take out of that scene, I can't argue with that but all this is doing is knocking the Chlark friendship, IMO.

I'm going to have to go back and watch the episodes. I cannot remember. Which epi did he tell Chloe that he was going to the FOS?

In Gemini Chloe called Clark and left a voice mail saying that Lana told her that they settled things down before he headed it to the fortress and that she was tired of lying telling that he was on Minessota

Right, I was looking for a transcript to get the exact details but couldn't find one. I guess that Clark didn't tell Chloe that he was going to the fortress, he only told Lana but Lana told Chloe. So Chloe knew that Clark went there to find Kara.

I think Biz had grown comfortable in "Clark's shoes" and the idea of Clark's return set him on edge. In the 'Bizarro' epi he told Clark "You don't deserve this life; but I do." I think Biz became impatient with Chloe because he wanted to find "the shield" ASAP and secure his hold on Lana and his life on earth - permanently.

Well it could be that Clark did tell Chloe but before going to the fortress he stopped to talk with Lana.

I mean that was the vibe I got that Clark just decided to talk with Lana first before go. Cause frankly I don't see why Clark wouldn't tell Chloe but to Lana yes.

Well bottom Line Chloe knew.

Again. I don't see the proof in anything you have stated. I will re watch the episode. Who was Chloe supposedly lying to about Clark being in Minnesota?

I start over:

- Clark talk with Lana, they made up.
- Lana talked with Chloe about settle things down before HE went to the fortress
- Two weeks Later. Chloe calls Clark telling him by the cell phone that Lana told her that before HE went to the fortress they (Clark and Lana) worked things out.
- Chloe says she is tired of telling people Clark is in Minnesota (she tells later to Lois Clark is with Kara on Minnesota spending the holiday) that she doesn't know if she should be angry or worried.

She knew that Clark was on the fortress, whether Clark or Lana told her, she knew

Epiosde Gemini, the first Chloe scene.

the only thing that kills me is that biz was hanging around for a month having no idea where clark was...or when he would be back. They made it sound like biz wanted to kill clark in spoilers and tv guide description but not once did he even try cause he didn't even know clark was in the FOS when he went there looking for the shield. he was just as happy letting clark be away while he played and saw no need to seek him out and kill him.

Those emotions displayed and played by the two actors were great!

That last scene was done well by the two actors. Clark's look was that of hurt and felt cheated. Then Lana with her kind of begging and forgive me look. That was awesome!
Great ending and the song was even better playing along with the scene. It was well done!

Until I see further proof. I stand by my original argument that Chloe did not necessarily know that Kara was missing and that BizClark had given up looking for her.

Personally, I don't believe Bizarro's reactions to people are any sort of conclusive reflection on Clark's feelings. He is aware of how Clark feels about people, it doesn't mean that Bizarro's own feelings have to be the same. I think the way they presented Bizarro on the show made him his own person totally, even while being in Clark's skin. He wasn't Clark's opposite, he wasn't Clark's spirtual or emotional twin. He was an entirely different entity. And therefore, IMO, his reactions to Lana, Lois or Chloe mean absolutely nothing to me.This is also what I saw, BadToad. I don't recall any episodes where Clark wanted to physically remove the internal organs of others, or showed a deep-seeded desire to burn people to death with his heat vision. SV!Bizarro was a much different creature than ClassicBizarro, and I do not think he can be used a measurement of Clark's true feelings.

Now, the Bizana/Clana is another issue entirely. Jimmyolsenblues nailed this IMO - is was a plot device by the writers to insert angst into Clana and make Clark feel bad. Everyone loves Lana. Clark loves Lana. Lex loves Lana. Chloe loves Lana (like a sister). Lionel loves Lana. Zod loves Lana. Bizarro loves Lana. Random meteor freaks love Lana. Normal human stalkers love Lana. I am surprised Brainiac does not love Lana. (Maybe he has had his fill of needy, petite women.) Clark's evil double is less a reflection of Clark's true feelings than it is a sign of Al and Miles disturbing vision of a world where everything revolves around a shiny haired simpleton. YMMV.

Well then good for you that then live better thinking Clark has lost trust on Chloe not telling her Kara was missing. The proof is there, is ridiculous to think Chloe would know about Clark on the fortress and not about WHY Clark went there....but whatever

He told Lana and not Chloe. Either way both scenarios are bad for Chloe:

1. If Chloe doesn't know Kara is missing. Bad for Chloe.... because Clark now has a new confident and Chloe is not THAT necessary
2. If its the second and Chloe DID know Kara is missing, then Chloe is an idiot thinking Clark would give up looking for Kara and rather be in his house "doing" Lana.

Sounds good but you can't prove assumption one or two.

Well Chloe covered for both Kara and Clark when they were missing for 2 weeks. So Chloe did know they were missing. Then Clark returned and we don't know if Clark told her or not. We can't just assume he didn't just because we didn't see it on screen for the Chlana reunion happened offscreen as did Chloe's practice on controlling her power.

Here's the thing, did Chloe and or Lana tell Clark about Brainiac's return?

That is what I am saying. I don't know how you just can assume Clark didn't tell Chloe Kara is missing, Considering how close Clark and Chloe are I found really weird that Clark told Lana and didn't tell Chloe.

Bizarro must have told Chloe a hell of a lie to justify he just stopped to looking for Kara. Cause is not a Clark-thing-to-do just let Kara go.

Brianiac: I don't think there e were exactly time for that, I think is one of those thing that will fall in off screenville, Lana probably was more concerned that she screwed a clone and like it. And with Chloe well I think we pretty much saw the Clark/Chloe interaction, he arrived Chloe told about the shield Clark left, Clark talked with KryptonianJimmy etc

that scene was awkward, but in a "what the crap is going on?!" kind of way. that scene didn't make any sense to me and felt very out of place.

How could it not make sense to you? Did you not watch the rest of the episode? Lana was disturbed that she'd fallen in love with the wrong guy, and Clark was hurt by the same. How did you miss that?

It was anything but out of place. It was perfect, acted perfectly, and set to perfect music.

We can't assume that Clark did or didn't tell Chloe because it is not clear from what has been presented to us.
