Except for Chloeiac, this season looks promising

[xrayvision]

I like the return of the old Clark Kent who was last really seen in season 3. I like how he's joking again & is happy.

I really don't like what they did to Chloe at all though. I hope Brainiac seperates from her somehow and she returns to normal.

No way! Best Chloe story line ever.

Chloe=snoozefest, personally I'm sick of all the Chloe propping

[ClarkyBoy14]

I'm interested in seeing what's going to happen to Chloe, but I kinda liked her old power better so far (except for the whole dying everytime you heal someone). Guess we'll have to wait and see how it all turns out...

I agree that it's nice to have our old Clark Kent back, though!

[yoxodo]

Does look promising. though i've seen better premiers. Is Chloe's new power really because of what Brainiac did to her? Well, at least the techno-whiz thing is less fatal than the healing power. I wonder if its just Clark she can't heal...

[thehenry89]

clark finally found his coconuts, and wouldn't you know it they were in his loft the whole time.

[theotherJane]

Totally agree. I really could care less about her new power, and Chimmy seemed a little stale.
What I am curious about seeing is the dynamic she'll have with Davis Bloome. All the other stuff doesn't interest me because I've seen it before.

[abbaspice1]

My opinion of Chloe has lowered after this episode. He cousin (the one who is like a sister) gets hurt rescuing her, but instead of at least CHECKING on her, she goes into a hug-fest with Clark. WTH?

And Clark has to TELL her to watch over Lois? Again, WTH?

I just don't get it.

Well Put.

[xrayvision]

This premiere definitely did not seem like an episode of Smallville. It was very weird with all that stuff in Russia. I didn't like their explanation of Clark's disappearance the rushed healing he received thanks to the MM. It's gonna raise the question that if Lex was found after crashing on that deserted island after only 3 months, why not a more populated place (that is if he is in Russia).

But I'm willing to put this aside for the potential this season has.

Hopefully they will make her flawed again and make her lose her powers and release Brainiac. That would bring her back to the character we all loved in the 1st four seasons. She really hasn't been that realistic since then. I thought Chloe being able to hurt Brainiac was a bad idea in Arctic and hope they drop the effects so that it doesn't have any bad influences on this season. It's just lame because Chloe was never meant to be made into such a character.

It has to be since it happened pretty much right after she awoke from what Brainiac did to her. I wonder if Brainiac will try to seperate from Chloe or perhaps even use Chloe against Clark now. That is one way to really make the story interesting (if Brainiac uses her against Clark). It would be very boring to see Chloe at Isis using her Chloeiac powers to rat out everyone to Clark. I hope they get some sort of devious ball rolling.

[Vergon6]

Regardless of whether part of Brainiac is in Chloe, her encounter with him obviously affected her mind.

Somehow I think the control serum (derived partially from Moira Sullivan's spinal fluid) will play a part in the season again. I wouldn't be surprised if Tess uses it on Chloe just like the Luthorcorp goons did, so she could use Chloe as a weapon, especially if she develops violent powers.

They are definitely going to have to work on some sort of anti-serum to innoculate Clark's friends against that stuff.

[xrayvision]

I think Clark will realize what's going on and will be forced to try to rid her of Brainiac's presence.

I don't think Brainiac is 'in' her he's just upgraded her.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Chloeiac? :lol:

[Meteror Freak]

I'm hoping that her power will not have come from braniac but will be something she's had for a very long time, explaining how she's been able to hack into government files and top secret stuff for mega corporations like luthorcorp since she was like 14. Unfortunately though, I think they will say her powers came from braniac.

[Dor el]

I kind of like the Brainiac affected/infected Chloe angle. I hope that there is a struggle between Chloe and Brainiac for control. IF, something of Brainiac has become part of Chloe, she clearly is in control, at the moment, as evidenced by her willingness to help Clark. Brainiac would have let him die straight up. Or could it be that Brainiac is why her power didn't work on Clark? Maybe the power is still there, but Chloe is not the only controlling force within her. I think it would be cool for Chloe to challenge Clark is huge ways until Clark has to realize that Chloe is more than just Chloe. He may have to fight her and I think that would be interesting to watch. Clark beating up on a woman and said woman beating right back. Makes me chuckle.

[WalkinDude]

Watched this episode last night, and I loved it. This season definitely looks promising. Heres hoping the season is so great that it's not the last.

[redRound]

I have mixed feelings about Chloe's power possibly coming from Brainiac. It's an interesting story, but I'm annoyed that no such thing was given to Lex. When Zod happened, I really thought they'd give Lex Zod's Kryptonian intelligence or something, but they just mind-wiped him. Ugh! It just goes to show how rubbish AlMiles were. And then there's also the issue of Chloe being such a Mary Sue. She's constantly taking characteristics/stories from the other established characters, and it's to their detriment imo. This would be the latest thing. But it still looks interesting.

[mistaguitarmasta]

Chloe + Peter Petrelli + Brainiac = Chloeiac

[jimmyolsenblues]

i wish we had the writers and budget of heroes

[xrayvision]

Maybe Brainiac's influence will make Chloe use Clark to bust him loose once again without Clark even knowing it. That clever bastard is very likely to do something like that.

What I really want is a closing shot in a future episode showing a city's worth of people walking with the camera zooming in and showing Brainiac as one of them--just so they show him as a future recurring villian in Clark's life.

[Billy Jor-El]

I've never been a fan of Chloe having powers at all; she's too cool just as she is. That said, having incredible mental ability fits well to her character. I would hope she uses it to see what a BDA Clark can be.

I suspect she will play a large role in the true donning of the cape by series end.....

[xrayvision]

^^The thing is, Clark isn't a BDA anymore. I finally know that his BDA-ness ended with what I saw last night.

[miks]

I think her super genius is interesting and hope that's not her only new power and that we can get something else like healing back, but the part I loved the most was when she got back to the real world she read through all of those DP articles with her new power! She really is a reporterholic!!

[kalelnica]

i dont like chloe. she should die once the braniac thing leaves her.

[miks]

hehe she won't though, she's too highly loved.

[Valerie]

I am excited about Chloe going in an ambigous way with her new ability. Being a big Chloe fan myself it is hard to admit, but yes, she did go a little Sueish (However Lana will always hold the place of the biggest Marysue on the show.) in the last couple seasons. Between her self sacrificing, and her healing ability, she had lost some of her early years edge. So it would be refreshing to see her walking a bit closer to the dark side, and maybe even have a confrontation with Clark.

I am resolved that Chlark will probably never happen, and I like Jimmy as a character, but I still don't like Chlimmy.

[xrayvision]

hehe she won't though, she's too highly loved.

If she gets married to Jimmy, I think she will definitely die, unless SV's Jimmy won't be single.

[Shadow116]

Exactly, at any rate lets hope DC puts there own version of Chloe in the Superman mythos already. I mean Lionel is now a part of it...

Please hardcore SV fans don't ruin Chloe being in the comics again, she doesn't have to be exactly like she is here.

[AndiGirl]

If she gets married to Jimmy, I think she will definitely die, unless SV's Jimmy won't be single.

Thats my problem...I really dont know what I want for Chloe.
Part of me wants to give Chimmy another chance...but we know Jimmy isnt married in the comics....which means chloe dies.

If she isnt with Jimmy, then what? They leave it with Chloe being alone.....Sad, but atleast she isnt dead.

Doesnt seem like there's a good outcome for chloe no matter what, which is a pity. :(

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Brainiac is not in her, it is the same infection that Barbara Gordon got, many have compared her to Oracle in the past because of her role in the JL, and the scenes of her in Isis, this just shows that SV is running with it.

Dont get mad....anyone...but I'm not aware of Barbara Gordon...could you explain please? :)

[Chlollie]

I don't think Brainiac is in Chloe, just got some of his power.

[TheLeague]

couldnt agree more! and its being done so well so far

[The Great Ymmij]

Barbara Gordon is Batgirl in the Batman universe. She eventually retires being Batgirl after Joker shoots her in the spine, leaving her paraplegic, and works as the Oracle for the Suicide Squad. Apparently, she took on some of Brainiac's intelligence, but I'm not sure about that one...

[kiariclois]

Hmm... I love everything about the episode and I do think it's promising, EXCEPT the whole situation with Chloe's power.

Brainiac was 'attracted' to her because she was already a genius. After he left her she could feel her toes for a while but it had no lasting effects beyond that.

[Billy Jor-El]

Yeah. actually you're right. I hang on to our trusted and true nicknames, but when Clark wanted to join the DP to be a part of the action, and he stood up and fought even without his powers, he is becoming more of what Chris showed us Superman could be ;)

[Hopefulsuicide]

shhhhh! don't jinx it!

[unfocused]

The Chloe InterActive Construct. It sounds sexy.

I like that whatever Brainiac did to her took away her healing powers. Now she isn't a meteor infected anymore. Something she's wanted. And I'm sure this new found power will not last.

I think xrayvision is on to something. I think Brainiac is inside of her somehow. Or he will find a way to resurrect himself through her.

[robbiehart21]

I think that some of the others who responded about brainiac inside of Chloe are on to something. That would explain a way for them to have brainiac return. And I do remember the article that one of the producers(I could be wrong) wrote saying that the marriage episode would be a bloody mess..possibly when brainiac splits from her and kills her?

I'm glad though that the first episode really has a focus on what Clark has to do now. The other season premieres kind of left me feeling as if they knew they had a longer contract with cw, so they weren't worried about really getting Clark to becoming Sups. This year, though, I feel really good about where they are going.

Side note: Did Rogan get captured by JL, or did he escape? I think he knows EXACTLY where Lex is, doesn't anyone else?

[chlo-el]

I love the whole Chloe has Brainiac powers thing. That's so cool. And I don't hink Brainiac is inside her or anything she just took some of his power when her power was portecting herself from him. It looks way intersting to me.

And I think Chloe still has her healing power it just doesn't work on Clark.

[unfocused]

I didn't know there was going to be a marriage episode. Please use spoiler tags next time. Please, seriously.

The papers said Regan went missing. Most likely the JL captured him, but I'm thinking it might be Tess Mercers doing. We'll have to see.

I really like the character of Regan. He seems natural. And he works great as a more rational follower to Lex. He also seems like he can do a good job in charge.

Why does Chloe have to be with someone to be happy? Everyone doesn't always to be paired up. People can be perfectly happy being single, and just dating whom ever they find interesting.

And why is it fine for a guy (Jimmy) to be single, but not a girl?

Doomsday is going to kill Chloe as they do whoopie in bed.

I don't ever remember Batgirl taking on anyone's (Brainiac, etc) intelligence. I thought it was because she couldn't be Batgirl anymore so she spent her time learning about high tech computers, hacking, satellites, etc from her connections to people like Bruce Wayne, her father (Commissioner Gordon), and others (Nightwing).

You're right. Ostroff may order TPTB to make Clark a BDA again. I better shut up.

Yeah, I had the same feeling. I thought Tess might have had him killed or perhaps strapped down somewhere. I hope he's still alive since he's an interesting character. I could have sworn the actor who plays him was a cop in an episode of Smallville or Supernatural (I thought he looks a lot like the cop who arrested Lex in Phantom). I wonder if Tess really wants Lex found or not. If they find him, then she loses her power as top dog. It will be very interesting.

So Doomsday, Chloe, and Whoopie Goldberg will have a 3-way? :p That would be the most messed up thing ever in this show. LOL!!

[unfocused]

That's disgusting, xrayvision lol.

[HeartChakraBabe]

Chloeiac? :lol:

That was my first thought! :lol: The name combos have got to end!

[unfocused]

Lol I agree.

Especially after someone coined "Clamone," of Hypnotic.

By the way, shouldn't it be Chloiac Instead of Chloeiac?

[xrayvision]

I don't know. I know with ships, they usually do that, but Chloeiac wasn't intended to be a ship, rather Brainiac's programming residing in Chloe while it figures out a way to release itself.

[jimmyolsenblues]

i feel bad for chloe becoming infected though, i just want chloe to be happy and loved.
