Why wasn't Lois helping w/ Chloe's wedding?

[chlo-el]

OK so I've noticed that Lois didn't even mention her cousin in the AU. I was hoping they would still be close.

[AlwaysRight]

I think what was stopping her is called a job :P

Beyond that do you talk to complete stangers about your cousin when you first meet them.

She mentioned her uncle.

[Lara Lane]

with everything going on in the episode, I guess the writers didn't get the time to add that detail, but hey, Lois did call Clark "Meteor Freak". Where do you think she got the infamous term? Form her beloved cousin, of course ;), who, by the way, probably didn't develop her meteor powers in this reality. I hope.

[Alexander III]

Lois had a thing for George. That has to be it!

[chlo-el]

Lois had a thing for George. That has to be it!

Well she did mention she had more unrequited love for heroes then a greek tragedy. George could have been in that group.

[Ilovebeinglost]

Show isn't long enough to cover every little detail that the fans think up later when the epi was over. Wasn't important to the storyline

They only have 37 mins to squeeze everything in.

[4Clana]

There should be an "other; unimportant" option. This episode was packed as it was, this episode was about Clark, thankfully. I don't think Lois mentioning the wedding is really all that necessary. Just like it wasn't necessary to know the fiancee's name.

[AlwaysRight]

She mentioned her uncle.

does she have to mention every member of her family? :P

I mean she didn't mention her dad Sam or sister Lucy either, i would think in the big picture they more important then Chloe to her.

[chlo-el]

Well her cousin was getting married that weekend. She could of mentioned one little line of I have to save this world so I can see my cousin get married or something like that. And in SVRW we have seen Chloe and Lois become so close that we have seen Chloe be closer to her then her own sister and father they have shown her immidiate family realtionship as not the closest.

I just missed Chlo-Lo and would of liked a small mention if they were close or not.

[LoveHurts38]

But, in the AU Lionel was not even mentioned from Lex.

[chlo-el]

But, in the AU Lionel was not even mentioned from Lex.

Yes he was. He told Kara that his father died to protect her secret.

[A_Chloe.S._Fan]

Lois was probably too busy trying to protect the world from Lex, or helping in of screenville.

[All about Clark]

I couldn't even tell whether Chloe worked at the DP. Maybe she did and took time off for the wedding and Lois only needed the day of the wedding off from the DP. This episode really wasn't about the cousins relationship, which could have been good or bad, however Clark came to impact it.

It had occured to me, that without Clark's SV stories, Chloe might not have ever worked at the DP and only dated Jimmy while on internship. Maybe Chloe's death never needed to be faked, maybe Chloe never left Smallville and maybe Lois never went to Smallville. With Clark gone, a million variables are at play.

That is true. That is why I wanted to know: did Clark affect Chloe going to the DP? Did he affect Chloe and Lois getting close?

That make sense that w/out Clark Chloe's death could be faked. But she was in Metropolis so it looks like she at least lives there and George was wearing a Metropolis police t-shirt so it wouldn't make sense for her to live in Smallvile. But then again doesn't make sense for anyone to live in Smallville who have jobs in Metropolis and they do it anyway.

I choose to beleive that Chloe did work at the DP and was taking off for the wedding and Lois would join her on her wedding day. I like to think they would be close with or with out Clark but who knows.

:DWow! You covered a LOT of territory. I agree with you, too. ;) Lois was quite BUSY with an impending 'apocalypse', and any 'Helping' with Chloe's wedding may have already been fulfilled since the wedding was scheduled for the coming Sunday. It was only a tiny piece of the plot to let us know what was going on in Chloe's AU life, but not important enough to move the story along.:\

[ginnyfan]

She mentioned her uncle.

But Chloe's dad had great hair. LOL!

I pretty much agree with All About Clark.

There's so much that we don't know. I voted that Lois was busy saving the world but would be at the wedding.

In my world the bridesmaid stuff was the weekend before. LOL!

[svtwamedfan05]

Because this was so important to the AU storyline :rolleyes:

Anywho since we are going to talk about something useless I voted: She would but saving the world w/ her article was more important she'll be at the wedding

[SteveS]

Consumed with envy, lois who always loses in her luv affair, can't bear the fact that Chloe is in love and about to get married, but it is only envy not jealousy.

[Jade4813]

I imagine that she was helping with the wedding. However, bear in mind that this is Smallville where "pregnant" brides (several months along) wear corsets to the big day. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't just entirely slip their minds that weddings aren't planned in an hour and a half.

Or maybe Chloe and George were eloping. George comes from a big rich family (you see that ring?) and it's either elope and get married in Aruba or have an oppressive wedding with 3,000 people. My best friend from kindergarten did that. She realized with her fiance's family, they'd have to invite ninth cousins fifteen times removed and she didn't want to deal with it. So they went off, got married just the two of them, and came back to have one HELL of a party.

[Kal-ed]

First of all, I think the speculation is getting a tad out of hand here and seconldy and the safes bet is that it simply didnt come up, like I said I dont go around telling people about the weddings Im going to atend specially when its not either the time for it or the subject simply doesnt come up.

Also Lois couldnt know Clark knew Chloe, but Clark knows Chloe is Lois´s cousin so ist should of been him that brought up the subject or asked Lois if she was atending the wedding at least to find out if in this AU they did get along or not.

Thirdly a thousand things could have happened so that the cousins didnt really get along, not enemies or anything, just lost touch for too long and their paths drifted too far a part.

But since we are all speculating for the worst why not blame Chloe instead; maybe Chloe didnt invite Lois because Chloe is jealous of Lois cause she got a Pulitzer Price.

[Thrill_Seeker]

I actually think that if not for clark then lois and chloe wouldnt have really semi-reunited.
cos without clark that safe-house would never happened, chloe would of been presumed dead, lois would of never come to smallville and become close with chloe and clark and she would just live her life till she became the reporter we see in the AU,
and just never really saw her cousin,
she probably didnt even know im guessing,
although im sure chloe would invite her, but ahhh who cares ???
theres no way they could fit that much stuff into one episode. they've only got 40 mins, so there was nothing more they could've done.

[Alicia Chipy]

I'm sure Lois would probably be the maid of honor at Chloe's nuptials.they just can't cover every angle in a scant 37 minutes.

[PhantomKnight88]

I will admit that I had hoped for some mention of Lois being at Chloe' wedding, but I wasn't at all surprised that didn't happen. Personally I think Clark has nothing to do w/ the closseness of the cousins as everything we heard before Lois and Chloe actually had a scene together made it look like they were close long before they lived in the same town.

So I agree, the writers just didn't have the time to put it in there, and there was no point to it being mentioned even if they had had the time.

[stenochick]

The bride plans the wedding for months, but the bridesmaids plan the bridal shower and then a few weeks or so later, show up for the rehearsal and wedding. If I was in Lois' place, I would be investigating and working on my stories right up to the rehearsal and then be there for the bride on her wedding day, and then right back to chasing the story.

I think that's true that this is generally how it goes. Of course, I'm still shell-shocked from the last wedding I was in where I was Maid of Honor and in charge of, among various other things, cutting out and ironing crests onto table runners for the reception. I swear, I think that lasted for at least four decades. Those d*** feathers!

But it does seem like that close to the wedding pretty much everything that even the Maid of Honor does is either already taken care of or not yet the time to do. The bachelorette party might have been the next night (if there was a next night). Things like making sure the flowers, caterer, etc. were ready could be done via the phone. Chloe'd be in charge of going for the last fitting of her dress, and it was probably off at the cleaner's by then, to be picked up the night before the wedding (so as not to wrinkle).

At least by what I remember of all the weddings in which I've taken part.

I swear, if I ever get married, I'm eloping to Tahiti. I've heard it's lovely there, and I won't need to plan these details!

[jimmyolsenblues]

lois lane has traditionally always been too busy getting a story to have close friends and family relations.
it was nice to see lois act iconical-ly.

I moved to be with my fiance so my bridal party had to fly in or make a road trip for the wedding. I planned everything but the bridal shower, which my matron of honor took care of.

Chloe seems like the type to want to be in charge of her big day and not delegate anything out. Lois seems like the "tell me when to show up and what to wear and I will be there for you" type of bridesmaid. She would not do well with the maid of honor role with the schedule she keeps.

I enjoyed putting it all together myself. If you keep it simple and stick to a budget, you can enjoy the whole process and have your bridesmaids at your side to enjoy the day with you, instead of them hating you by the time the big day comes :eek:

[Jaded Wolf]

Maybe because the writers assumed they don't have include minute detail like that because the audience is smart enough to make conclusions on their own that in no way affects the quality of the story. Maybe Lois had been helping out but not that particular day. If you have to have everything explained to you then...

[Ayanne]

Probably for the same reason EDLois was humping the man who dissed her cousin in front of her/ doesn't care that Chloe was fired by Lex.

She's shown that Lois *is* ONLY about herself. Hitting on Clark at the end was in REALLY bad taste, & since when has she been a "good friend"? Never.

[Serynarpc]

Perhaps it was in the background. Meet for lunch on Sunday to plan reception dinner, work on conspiracy until then.

We don't see every aspect of character's lives- thank goodness we didn't suffer through the long line of Lana stalkers filing by to see Lana.

Sounds like someone hates Lois! :rotfl:

It's another SteveS :lol:

[RedKRules]

i think she was helping off screenville....

[kryptonaidxh]

:confused: who cares? maybe Lois was too busy taking care about the story of her life searching for the global attempt of Lex and trying to avoid that he destryed the worl next to Clark, or maybe she heldped Chloe before with the wedding details, maybe she was going to help Chloe later, who really cares?:\

[chlo-el]

So iconic Lois Lane ditches her family and friends? That's nice to see? :rolleyes:
No wonder I like Chloe better then any version of Lois.

What about how Chloe treats Jimmy:P

[chlo-el]

What about how Chloe treats Jimmy:P

I never said she was perfect. But she is shown as a very loyal person who helpsher friends and are there for her friends. And the way she treats Jimmy has more to do w/ hiding secrets then it does w/ not being there for him.

I just think it was sad that iconic Lois Lane is viewed as someone who values her career over people who she cares about. And for a while I didn't think SVLois was like that at all. She has been there for Chloe and I think that she is a kind of person that would be there for Chloe.

[VisionGirl]

The question SHOULD be why was Chloe planning a wedding during Armageddon?

Jeez, cut Lois some slack for having priorities.

[chlo-el]

I'm all for, for Lois having prioroities. I think that she would be concentrated on saving the world. But there isn't any suggestion that Chloe knew anything about it.And there isn't any hint that Lois was even going to be involved in the wedding or knew about it. I would have just liked a small hint to know if Lois and Chloe were still close or not.

I just didn't like the comment that Lois not having close family and freinds because she was too focus on her career and that what makes her so iconic.

And the prioroties that AULois has are the priorites that RWChloe has. Saving the world.

[Lara Lane]

Well, there isn't any hint either that Lois was not involved in the wedding. The point was simply not mentioned.

It doesn't make her so iconic, it is just one more trail that makes her Lois Lane. She is a workoholic


And the prioroties that AULois has are the priorites that RWChloe has. Saving the world.

Maybe, but they are two different persons, with two different personalities and ways to deal with their priorities.

All in all, with these posts are you just expressing that you are disappointed with the writers for missing some chlo-lo interaction?

Yeah mostly. That's what I'm saying. I misss Chlo-lo. And I would of at least like a mention that they are close.

[mistaguitarmasta]

Maybe in the AU, Lionel didn't try to kill Chloe, so Lois never came to Smallville and they never got to be as close as they are in our universe.

[rebecavaldez]

i think they were still close but just maybe not best best cousins. i mean, she did know stuff about smallville, so that means she has to have been in contact with someone;CHLOE!
