Is Chloe even a journalist anymore?

[theotherJane]

Seriously...does she even care?

[TWLOVER03]

I know, it's very disappointiong, and I am a huge Chloe fan, It makes me sad that the writers are pushing lois in way too fast and pushing chloe out

[minerva73]

I don't really think it's a matter of she doesn't care. With Lex there, she doesn't have much to do. She can just print out little stories that won't get her name anywhere on the map. If Lex finds her story offensive, then he'll stop it. That's why she doesn't seem so "journalistic" anymore IMO. :\

[Lostfan588]

Well, I can't put spoilers in here so all I'm going to say is yes.

[sabi908]

her sole purpose on this show is to protect clark and help him out

[TWLOVER03]

you can put a spoiler if it has a tag

[you_smell_terrific]

Yeah it pisses me off too :( I have no problem with Lois at the Daily Planet (although I still don't like how she was hired -.-) but why do they have to push Chloe to the side? I really hope they stop sabatoging her character >.<!

[VisionGirl]

Eh, who says Chloe even needs to be at the Planet? Frankly she's a far better hacker than she is a reporter - and seems to enjoy it more.

She should just work for Oliver full time.

[Lostfan588]

you can put a spoiler if it has a tag

Right. It's a shame I never learned how. :lol:

I agree w the person who said neither Chloe nor Lois can get much of anything published as long as they are under lex's radar.

All I'm going to say is I can see Chloe getting a kick in the butt she needs.

[aqgalaxy]

Yeha, Lois Lane is a journalist with getting handouts when Chloe is actually going to Plants to make sure she can keep her access with them. Seriously they aren't pushing Chloe aside, they are just showing how ridiculous it is to call Lois a reporter. She sits at her desk and an e-mail gives her a story that is already published in the paper? Since when is that journalism?

[TWLOVER03]

i agree if she's not at the DP she needs to be in the JL

[MidgardDragon]

What choice does she have? She can't write any really juicy stories with Lex there. She's probably just writing fluff pieces to stay afloat, while helping Clark on the side. Unless she leaves the Planet, her dream job, then she can't really help it.

[TWLOVER03]

i believe sopiler tags are [ spoiler ][ /spoiler ] ewithout spaces but i dont really know

[jimmyolsenblues]

if you want to post a spoiler use [ spoiler ] [ / spoiler]

without the inside spaces.

[Smallvillefan78412]

She does care, but protecting Clark secret take #1 priority in her life now. Its really a bummer, she would've been great at the Planet if she hadn't found out about Clark. She should ttly stop moonlighting for the JL and join them full time. She's wasting her skills @ the Planet writing filler stories when she could help save ppl in the field with the JL.

Was I even talking about Lois? Although you do have a point, receiving an email about a random lead had me rolling my eyes.

[sabi908]

she should join JLA...she will be a great asset to them

Unless she leaves the Planet, her dream job, then she can't really help it. Exactly, look how stupid Lois and Jimmy are doing finding a connection of the murder with Lex's father, now don't get me wrong it's a murder needed to be revealed but how they go about it, they were already caught, and second even if they wrote a story, If Lois knows anything by being at the Planet under Grant, they don't publish Luthor stories anymore.

very funny...chloe has gotten several reports through leads...heck most journalists do...

and i suppose you will conveniently overlook the "exposed" eppy...where lois went out of her to grab the story..

i swear why do you people bring up Lois in everything...is that you're only counterargument to Chloe's fallacies...two wrongs never made anything right. The OP didnt even mention Lois's name!

[aqgalaxy]

I just knew you'd be starting something.
Was I even talking about Lois? Although you do have a point, receiving an email about a random lead had me rolling my eyes.

Was it really necessary to call me out like that? I'm just saying you ask if Chloe is even a journalist anymore, she had the second lowest amount of screentime, so I say we can't ask that question based on this episode alone.

[luvinChlark]

I agree. Plus even if Lois finds proof that it was Lex and such. She isn't ever going be able to print it with Lex owning the DP. Him owning the DP hurts everyone, he is in power. Lex needs to loose all power of the DP because eventually Lois will fall back to where she started.

[Minela]

I know, it's very disappointiong, and I am a huge Chloe fan, It makes me sad that the writers are pushing lois in way too fast and pushing chloe out

Fast? The woman has been investigating since she stepped foot on this show, now she has been in the DP for an entire season, investigating stories all this time and people are still hanging on a belief it is Chloe who still deserves a journalism career. :\

[VisionGirl]

Lois is hardly stupid. Frankly she's been trying to take Lex down before he owned the Planet. Chloe had not been. In fact she warned Lois OFF the Luthor's. Said it was too dangerous and not worth it.

So you can't say that was Chloe's priority. Chloe made her choice.

ETA: People have some odd definitions of Journalism. Since when is getting an anonymous tip "lazy writing"? She got a tip and chased it. It's the name of the game.

Thats how Chloe got her first byline -- if we recall Exposed.

[aqgalaxy]

very funny...chloe has gotten several reports through leads...heck most journalists do...

and i suppose you will conveniently overlook the "exposed" eppy...where lois went out of her to grab the story..
Yeah Chloe does hack, but Lois did crap. She just was sitting on her ass when she got the e-mail out of no where. And if I recall about EXPOSED, Chloe was at the DP at night with Lois while she was playing a video game, Chloe was answering calls and there was a call of this girl asking for a reporter, Chloe responded and GOT out of the building and checked with Lois who asked if she shouldn't have told a HIGHER up reporter to do the story.

The paper published a mysterious death story, it was Lois who found out (through a source) that it was a gunshot and about the neckless and that it was LEX WHO DID IT. That's journalism. :cool:

[aqgalaxy]

Well Chloe was right, Lois did get stabbed in the episode Chloe warned her in. Also how has she been trying to take down Lex other then in Action? Wes was forgotten and Lex asked her to do his expose in Gemini.

Good grief, Lois wasn't even working for the DP in "Exposed."

I have a feeling they'll close this thread. :/

[Lostfan588]

Ah! Thank you Jimmyolsenblues! You're awesome! :p

Anyway, like I was going to say, while I believe Chloe HASN'T been able to get a really awesome story (though into this season and second half of last) still seems like she's getting small articles published- I'd blame it mainly on the fact that we've had Grant and then Lex owning the DP now- and with that, the entire atmosphere and values of the Planet has changed since the time she worked in the DP season 5- the one that valued truth over sensationalistic stories. I think a redemption arc for the Planet is coming up next season. So.

When Lex fires Chloe from the Planet and that with Al saying this is going to make Chloe even more adamant at bringing him down, with Chloe out from under Lex's radar, gives her a great chance to do some field work and get the expose finished...it gives her an advantage neither she nor lois has right now under lex's nose

[aqgalaxy]

The paper published a mysterious death story, it was Lois who found out (through a source) that it was a gunshot and about the neckless and that it was LEX WHO DID IT. That's journalism. :cool:

That's not jounalism, it's handouts. A mysterious E-mail with the morgue of Patty Swann. Then they visit Isis in the end where Lionel gave pictures of the murder with Lex in an envelope for Lana. Yeah I guess it's easy to open a envelop with pictures in it to find out Lex did it.

[dru-zod2501]

I don't really think it's a matter of she doesn't care. With Lex there, she doesn't have much to do. She can just print out little stories that won't get her name anywhere on the map. If Lex finds her story offensive, then he'll stop it. That's why she doesn't seem so "journalistic" anymore IMO. :\
but at least they're showing Lois work towards it. The same threat applies to all the DP crew, but Lois & Jimmy are still trying, there's no reason she can't... oh wait. Clark IS the reason.

[aqgalaxy]

Good grief, Lois wasn't even working for the DP in "Exposed."

I guess opening an envelope is just as easy as Chloe turning on her Magical Computer.:o

they are so bitter! i guess knowing that the whole Chlois theory is logically flawed...their only last resort is to needlessly sabotage Lois.

not everyone can be [Chloe]. :rolleyes:

[Lostfan588]

not everyone can be St. Chloe.

True. :)

[aqgalaxy]

Well, if i do recall Lois did not get a handout in this episode she got a tip :)

No a tip would be an actual person E-mailing her, and Lois saying "cool my source pulled through" as if she was waiting for the E-mail but no it came from out of the Blue. then she stumbled on the envelope Lionel was gonna give Lana that had pictures of the Killer with Lex? How is that not a handout?

[LoveHurts38]

still lois got interested in jornalism because of a barn door falling out of the sky

Waaaaaa! Lois got into journalism because of a barn door! Waaaaaa! Look how she got in! Waaaaaa! Lois is working with Jimmy!My gosh. Anytime Lois does something let's start bashing.

If I remember the episode correctly, Lois wanted Chloe to ignore the tip and pass the story to another reporter.

hahahhaa WAAAAAAAAAAA! will be their last words when Lois and Clark get married and Chloe is one of the bridesmaid. I wonder how they will spin that one.

OMG! In your eyes Lois can't do anything right, so why am I even bothering with this? May I just remind you of one particular famous expose...I'm sure you're familiar with it...hmm...Watergate???

Mysterious source? Ring any bells?

That's what journalism is all about, you get a tip, you follow the lead, you investigate. Seems to me Lois and Jimmy did just that.

Btw, you don't have to respond because I'm done with this conversation.

[TWLOVER03]

I am not bashing I am stating my opinions
i actually do like the Lois character a lot but it seems a little off to me that she jsut became magical jornalist IMO out of the Blue

[aqgalaxy]

hahahhaa WAAAAAAAAAAA! will be their last words when Lois and Clark get married and Chloe is one of the bridesmaid. I wonder how they will spin that one.
I can't wait to hear the responses from EDLois fans when Chlois is revealed and they go WAAAAAAAAAA. :rolleyes:

[miks]

that Chloe and Clark are having a little side action. lol Well it wouldn't be a stretch because Clark did kiss Lana while she was with Lex.

[LoveHurts38]

Are you a reporter?

[JAMHEXXX]

And......your point is what? Lois wasn't even working at the DP. Yet she was the one that went undercover as a stripper and got the story for Chloe.:p

[sabi908]

that Chloe and Clark are having a little side action. lol Well it wouldn't be a stretch because Clark did kiss Lana while she was with Lex.
so you want her to be a mistress...lol nice Chloe fan you are

She decided she liked the career path because of a specific incident, but she didn't just magically get there! She started out at a tacky tabloid rag and earned her stripes. She might have got an easy break when it came to getting into the Planet, but she was on that path anyway so who cares?

[sabi908]

Easy. It's all a big setup for Chlark. :D The greater the obstacle, the greater the Chlark payoff. Don't you know that by now? That's all we have been hearing through 7 years of Clana. :rotfl:

[TWLOVER03]

I would like to make it clear that I am not aganist Lois because she definatly has her role on the show, but since I really dont want to spend the remander of my night arguing over a fictional tv show I'm gonig to back away slowly
and try to escape without my head getting bitten off

[aqgalaxy]

Are you a reporter?

No, I'm a Psychiatrist but my Brother is a reporter for La Reppublica

[miks]

so you want her to be a mistress...lol nice Chloe fan you are

nah, Clois will get married because Lois will claim she's pregnant. Clark will believe her and that's why they get married. Then when he sees no bump he divorces her and marries Chloe! :lol:

[JAMHEXXX]

No, I'm a Psychiatrist but my Brother is a reporter for La Reppublica

Never heard of it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Why would I, I don't live in Italy.

[sabi908]

My cousin is a reporter and she used to be a waitress before she got into the whole journalism field. She never thought about pursuing this career but it just happened.

Okay, I understand your angle here.

she lives in italy...

[celita]

Chloe chose to become Clark's sidekick since the fifth season, that is what is holding her career back. She woulnd't write about Patricia Swann with or without Lois, Clark is the reason why Patricia is dead, and that means that Chloe wouldn't write about that just like she didn't write about a lot of things before. It's Chloe's choice and has nothing to do with Lois being a reporter. There isn't time enought to be a reporter, a student, to drive 6 hours in a daily basis to go to work, a sidekick, the one who gives advise to everyone about their relationships, recurrent Jimmy's girlfriend, and to work with the justice league.

Lois is working as a reporter and had two relationships, don't blame her if she is more focused in her wotk than Chloe is, Lois has a lot more time to work than Chloe has. She may have less experience, but she is working harder to be a reporter while Chloe is working hard to, but to be a sidekick.

[sabi908]

nah, Clois will get married because Lois will claim she's pregnant. Clark will believe her and that's why they get married. Then when he sees no bump he divorces her and marries Chloe! :lol:
hahah funny!

[Lostfan588]

Are you a reporter?

I am! :p Well I'm still working on my degree though, but I write for a paper. For my leads I look for anything that comes my way and definitely take into account ideas that people bring up to me- so for that I can't condemn Lois for pursuing it. That said, most of the time, my stories don't come to me. I usually have to go out and pursue them.

That's the one thing that does bother me about Lois on Smallville, sure occasionally it's alright to take on a story someone suggests to you every once in a while, but when stories come falling out of the sky like that every single time, it begins to look like laziness on the part of the writers.

[VisionGirl]

Why is it that Lois fans want Chloe to be happy and enjoy professional success and Chloe fans want Chloe... to be Lois?

If your character's not good enough for you...

yeah I know, that won't really happen.....

Clois won't get married :lol:

By the way changing subjects real quick...I would love to visit Italy one day:) Looks very beatiful and the history do watch sometimes the Travel Channel. I just had to say it due to your avi.


So your brother is telling you everytime how he gets a story? or his boss tell him to investigate something?

Their son Jason, had asthma in Superman Returns.

[Lostfan588]

This is the next lifetime, this is Smallville an alternate universe. Chlark is on it's way!

True. Anyway my answer to this thread is 'yes'. Chloe's not a doctor, or a cook, or anything, and she writes for a newspaper so I guess that would make her a reporter. :lol:

The only thing that she really needs is to find the perfect opportunity to finish the expose on Lex-looked in gemini like she's gathered alot of dirt so far- so i think we'll see her get that opportunity for a journalistic redemption arc soon.

[sabi908]

so lately
been wondering
who will be there to
take my place
when im gone
you'll need love
to light the
shadows on your
face

if a great wave shall fall
it would fall upon us all
then between the
sand and stone
could you make it on your own


if i could
then i would
ill go wherever you will go
way up high
or down low
ill go wherever you will go

and maybe
I'll find out
the way to make it
back someday
to watch you
to guide you
through the
darkest of your
day

[AndiGirl]

She is a journalist...but she is a best friend too....and seeing as her best friends life is being threatend, I think that takes presidence over dressing up like a gardner with Lois and Jimmy.

And that one will be just for you because pigs will be flying everywhere in Smallville!


I honestly think as soon as it happens, a lot of people who absolutely KNEW that it wasn't going to happen will "disappear" and we'll never hear from them again.

[Lostfan588]

Then she's been flying under the radar ever since this season started, because we saw virtually no reporting from her this whole season.

Has Lois gotten a story published yet? If not, then she's not "reporting" either. Like I say, I can see what youre saying to an extent, under Lex and Grant the DP's completely changed from the times of Kahn, so it's not the easiest thing to get a great story right now.

Yeah I know all about the spoiler. I just playing around. Thanx about my avi>:)

[miks]

Has Lois gotten a story published yet? If not, then she's not "reporting" either. Like I say, I can see what youre saying to an extent, under Lex and Grant the DP's completely changed from the times of Kahn, so it's not the easiest thing to get a great story right now.

you're great!
You state your opinion and point out that you obviously respect the opinion's of others. A lot of people aren't like that on this thread!

[sabi908]

And that one will be just for you because pigs will be flying everywhere in Smallville!


I honestly think as soon as it happens, a lot of people who absolutely KNEW that it wasn't going to happen will "disappear" and we'll never hear from them again.
and when it doesnt happen... which chances are it wont

people who were CERTAIN about it will hopefilly crawl back into their rocks

it goes both ways

[Lostfan588]

you're great!


Well...not always...but I try...:lol:

Now that was rude.

[warriorrenegade]

Then she's been flying under the radar ever since this season started, because we saw virtually no reporting from her this whole season.


True, but she's also had her hands full with her own secrets and lies. I'm of course referring to her meteor powers. Maybe its just me, but if I have a mutant power that causes me to die for extended periods and could ultimately lead to my death...writing columns is the least of my worries.

[aqgalaxy]

So your brother is telling you everytime how he gets a story? or his boss tell him to investigate something?
He always gets assignments from his editor, it's what they always do. however he does follow leads of his own if something suspicious happens. He does get e-mailed stuff thus why i said that there should have been a Source comment it would have been less of a handout and actually be a plus for EDLois

Why is it that Lois fans want Chloe to be happy and enjoy professional success and Chloe fans want Chloe... to be Lois?

Chloe fans want he to be writen how she's always been written, as a reporter and such. Basically never change her character only mature it. Lois fans genuinly want Chloe out of the City and virtually ignored in the future.

I think they moved Smallville closer to Metropolis about Season 4 or 5. The way people keep running back and forth (alot of times more than once a day) there is no way it's still 3 hours away. 1 1/2 hours tops. ;)

Exactly, on top of that, her journalism isn't followed anymore at the Daily Planet, Truth in journalism is Old guard now. Thus it is violating her beliefs.

[sabi908]

after repeatedly provoking...you call foul!

this is exactly why i avoid engaging in circular reasoning with Chloisers...i guess i let my boredom get the best of me this time.

I don't know what you call provoking but that definitely was not! I was joking the entire time, and I thought you were too until that little remark.

And never once have I mentioned ANYTHING about Chlois, so don't make this into Chlois debate because it's not. I was being funny, you were being rude. Ciao! :D

[Lostfan588]

Maybe a better why to put that would be Chloe doesn't value the particular brand of journalism the Luthors have brought to the DP. There are different kinds of reporting, so Chloe doesn't have to agree with Grant or Lex's ethics to be a reporter. That doesn't make sense. Chloe's more the old school type imo.

Maybe during the first half of the season, I'd believe that, and I did. But ever since "Gemini" aired, Chloe has opened to Jimmy about her power, he has accepted her which in turn gave her some peace of mind and she's even been using it more and more, so I don't really think how that could have an impact on her desire for journalism.
I think she's grown tired of journalism and uses the DP just for resources to help out Clark and the JL.

Why is she still at the DP if she feels that way? Surely [Chloe] would never stay at such an abomination.;)

Well, I don't know about that. I think this season Chloe's arc at the DP *I mean she is there working at her desk virtually every episode* (esp w the upcoming spoilers) is being made to be just as important as her freak power. Nothing has led me to believe Chloe is tired of journalism all, simply that her focus on career has taken a backseat during the recent drama. I think her building ugly outcome of Chlex tension, is going to light th fire under her that she needs.

And also, since Gemini Lex of all people has taken over the Planet. She disagrees with what he's been doing to the place she 's always dreamed of working since she was a child (which we saw in Progeny in her childhood flashback reporting is something she's always loved), and to top that Lex has got it in for her? What's a girl gonna do? It's not like Lois is getting things published either under Lex, so I don't see how Chloe focusing on other things (while also working at the DP as she has since S5) makes her any less of a reporter than her cousin.

I agree, but don't forget...Chloe may be using her power more and more but the worse the situation the worse she is off. She dies episode after episode...I think that's a lot to focus on.

[Lostfan588]

True. That same thing annoys me too, but then again, she's in the same boat as everyone else, including Lois right now, so I don't think it's too big a deal if she tries to endure as long as she can and stays true to herself-which, she has spoken up a few times this season about what she sees is going wrong with the Planet. I mean this is a place she's dreamed of working all her life so it would be a hard thing to give that up- as she said in Thirst "I was on the groundfloor of my dream"..which is why the upcoming spoilers i think will do her some good and hopefully put her on the right track. Like I said, she has a ton of info on Lex, and she has some of it typed from Progeny...so this might force her to get proactive and finish it so the DP can be restored the reputed paper it once was.

[KSiteTV]

Okay people.

1) I recommend that most of you posting in this thread re-read the board rules.

2) Please, no "St. Chloe" or "Nois" references in here.

3) DO NOT TALK ABOUT OTHER FANS. If someone is doing it, report the posts. Don't keep the fighting going.

4) If this thread continues to just be yet another Chloe vs. Lois war, this thread will be closed. So keep it civil, ok? Thanks.

This will serve as the only warning for this. Some people might even already have warnings in their PM boxes. Seriously, don't take it to name calling or other stuff - keep it civil. Luckily most people in this thread are behaving, but of course it just takes a few people to ruin it for everyone.

[jazel]

I have a hard time "understanding", how Chloe can trace Brainiac for Clark. Did think it was cool, that Lois did bring her up to Jimmy.
Sorry, but I just don't see Chloe, as being much of a journalist anymore.

No wonder since she runs off to save Clark's ass every chance she gets. :cool:

[SteveS]

Chloe's calling is greater than trying to make a headline out of nothing. Thats lois' joblet.

[myankskent]

That's not jounalism, it's handouts. A mysterious E-mail with the morgue of Patty Swann. Then they visit Isis in the end where Lionel gave pictures of the murder with Lex in an envelope for Lana. Yeah I guess it's easy to open a envelop with pictures in it to find out Lex did it.

So now Lois getting a tip at her job is a handout? Unbelievable. Then when she decides to get off her a$$ and investigate, it's a handout that she finds an envelope at Isis. I'm beginning to think that Lois has to climb mount everest in order to get a freaken lead for a story that she deserves and it's very telling that she is actually getting blasted for following Lionel Luthor. How dare she get evidence as a result of doing her job!

[jazel]

it's very telling that she is actually getting blasted for following Lionel Luthor.

Tailing Lex, and NOW Lionel, how dare she !
LOVE it, go "Mad Dog" go !:lol:

[myankskent]

That's a fair question.

I'd say part time journalist and full time sidekick.


Totally agree. All she does is try to track Brainiac for Clark these days. I'm not saying that's a bad thing and that certainly makes her an excellent friend to Clark, but it doesn't help her status as a journalist.

[SteveS]

Oh, so sorry, you are a week too late, it was Chloe who said that she would climb Mt. Everest, lois can't spell it or know what country it is located in. At the same time, a morgue picture is not a lead, it was a wild goose chase lois cooked up to hopefully and erroneously try to nail Lionel. He pegged her intelligence correctly.

[thehenry89]

who knows it just seems like she's following clark around playing super choogle 24/7.

[myankskent]

I'm not so sure about that. While Lionel was shooting his mouth off to Lois, in the end, she's the one who found the information that he had after she followed him without him knowing about it. I think that if Lionel knew what Lois now has, he'd reconsider his previous statement about her. YMMV.

[jazel]

I'm wondering if the P Swann article CK's reading when Chloe walks into the DP, was written by Lois, couldn't see a by-line.

My results say and show that lois cooked up a wild goose chase to incorrectly claim that Lionel murdered Patricia Swann, which he did not. For your results to vary, then the next episode will have to show that by sheer force of intellect and a morgue picture, that lois correctly figured out that Lionel was the murderer.

We will touch again on this when it is all made indisputably clear.

[Johniam22]

Hmm..I don't think it was much of a stretch, she just followed the weird/massive power outages.

[do3mire]

Lois and Jimmy scoobying. That's pretty iconic. Yeah, I think it's obvious that the writers have decided that reporter!Chloe and reporter!Lois just doesnt work on the show. I never believed as some posters wished that the 2 could have worked side-by-side at the DP. It was obvious that they had to sideline reporter!Chloe if Lois was to have any meaningful role on the show. Which is what they are doing this season in spades. I agree that they are no longer writing Chloe as a reporter. Where, oh, where did my favorite Torch editor Chloe go? *sniff* :(

[LexLuv180]

Chloe's main goal in life was always reporting. Now she knows she has an alien best friend who needs help saving the world from time to time. They're showing that as her priority.

[AlwaysRight]

I am guessing no, Lois is trying to dig deeper into the story looking for the "big cool headline". If it was her story you would see her name on it and they probably would have made mention about it as well.

[svtwamedfan05]

I think ever since Chloe got a meteor power she has really lost her mojo in journalism. Sure she likes bringing justice to criminals but I don't think she's really into it anymore. Maybe more into helping Oliver and the gang investigate more than anything. Now a days.

[SueB]

They've really set her up for full time Clark duty IMO.

[ginnyfan]

Seriously...does she even care?

Well she started to make some effort under Grant but to be fair she's had a lot on her plate. She was having a hard time accepting her freakiness and since that was her biggest drive (33.1) before sidekicking it... that put a damper on her enthusiasm.

Since then she's under Lex. So... I don't know. For a long time Chloe has had a different focus. She's been saving the world. Maybe she's falling in love with creating the news rather than reporting it.

Clark had Chloe working full time to find Brainiac. Though I find it funny to think that Chloe would have a chance at doing that. Really according to the events of this year, he should have had Lana working 24/7 to find Brainiac. Didn't she triangulate his location for Bizarro?

LOL!

[Deana]

Why is this even a question? Her world is Clark. She has put him above everything including journalism. This has been a fact every since she found out his secret. Can't blame Lois for Chloe choosing to baby Clark 24/7.

She is to busy being Martha and sidekick to write a story.

[LexLuv180]

Realistically she'd be a pretty selfish gal if she put her dream job above world-crisis emergencies, IMO. She knows how important it is for Clark to find Brainiac, and that should take priority considering all the lives that have been lost already. She's making a bigger contribution than writing a story, it's just behind the scenes.

I'm not knocking Lois at all here, so don't take it the wrong way. There's just no comparison. Lois' character knows nothing of Clark and the crap going on, so of course her goal is still going to be shown as making the next big story.

[skylar]

Can't blame Lois for wanting to get big storys. Chloe knows that there are a lot of freaks out there and Clarks needs her help. Something she can be hands on with.

[Khyla]

the Lois/Chloe debate aside, I think it has been firmly established in the series that Chloe is a journalist. It's been built up on a rock solid foundation from day one, and there's really no need to continue "showing her being a journalist". It's no longer necessary to take up screen-time with that. :\

[MeKa]

Seriously...does she even care?

Episodic evidence suggests she cares. Always has. It just doesn't fit into the writer's program at this point. And they haven't exactly done a great job developing the core three.

I can both agree and disagree with that statement. If the TPTB want Chloe's destiny to be a reporter then they should show her being a reporter on occasion, if she is ment for something else then no need to really push that plotline.

The fact that EDLois is getting the reporter push though probably means Chloe's role as a reporter needs to be phased out(hard having a show with 2 reporters)

Don't forget near the end of season 6, she said it was her goal to bring Lex down(using journalism as a method of doing that).
