    Chloe had the most screen time in s5,6,7,8. Not my cup of tea, especially when you have Lois Lane as a regular character. TPTB sure loved Chloe.

      Yeah, they very much loved Chloe - perhaps more than all other characters. That was their little baby. The first half of Season 8 was pretty heavy with Lois, but the second half went much more Clark/Chloe heavy and Lois lite. They even went so far as to make Chloe look like Lois to try to cover up the lack of Lois in the second half. LOL

        If I remember correctly someone stated that the original concept was to do a love triangle with Clark, Lois and Davis. So we might have ended up with Lois harboring a fugitive. Not to mention do other stupid stuff that Chloe ended up doing.

        I think what they did with Chloe was perfect for the character. Not being a mythos character they could really do risky stuff. For me, it worked. Lois Lane upstaging Clark in S10 was imo a lot worse than what Chloe did to Clark in 8.

          Wow, really?
          'Cause I heard there was going to be one with Clark/Lois/Oliver in s8.
          Anyways, I'm very glad Chloe did what she did, and not Lois.
          Not fond of the character at all, so I prefer s10 over s8 .

            I prefer Lois more than Chloe too but wasn't a fan of how Lois was portrayed in S10...but this basically applies everyone in the final season so...

              And the trend of Chloe remaining on top of the standings continues! I'm not going to enter a debate over whether that was good or not... I'm just going to state my opinion, and that's that I LOVE Chloe's interactions with Clark, and considering how dreadful their scenes together were in Season 9, and that there was a major lack of them in Season 10, I'm glad my favorite pairing (romance, friendship, etc.) had so much time to shine!

              I'm glad Lois had a lot more scenes with Clark as well. She became my third favorite character this season, and was SO much better than in any previous season, IMO.

              I wish that Clark had gotten to have more interactions with Jimmy. I thought that was an area where TPTB really dropped the ball. Even if he wasn't technically the "real Jimmy," he'll always be THE Jimmy on Smallville to me, and I would have liked to have seen more iconic interactions between him and Clark -- maybe even have him ACTUALLY learn Clark's secret in "Identity." That would have made what happened in "Doomsday," if they'd gone ahead with that storyline, all the more tragic, and it would've made more sense for Clark to have left the way he did.

              I was also surprised to see that Tess and Clark's percentage was SO high in "Turbulence," but I guess that makes sense, considering that most of Clark's story in that episode was spent on the plane with Tess.

              Thanks again for all your awesome work on this project, Matthew!

                A love triangle with Clark/Lois/Davis? I never heard of that. It's hard for me to imagine Lois tasering someone that she's supposed to care about and throwing body parts into the dumpster, among other things. That wouldn't sit too well with the huge Lois fanbase.

                By Season 8, I was tired of Chloe. Seasons 5-7 was too much for me the way that it was, and then Season 8 really had me questioning the show since Chloe was still around AND getting a lot of screentime. I think that with Chloe being a non-mythos character, it opened up many freedoms in the writing for her - unfortunately, IMO, a lot of what the series was supposed to be about ended up being undermined in the process since the writers/producers seemed to be much more invested in Chloe than they were in Clark and the others.

                I didn't really get the vibe of Lois upstaging Clark in Season 10. I wasn't too impressed with either, and Lois was even made to look bad a couple times. The writing in general was just very poor, IMO. Lois just seemed to be the one that benefited most out of the poor writing for Clark - similar to how Chloe benefited very much from Clark's bad characterization in Seasons 5-7.

                  Yep, Chloe was at the very top again, and it would be for the last time, I'm sure much to your disappointment. LOL

                  I liked Lois in Season 8 too, but moreso the first half. The show in general just seemed to get a bit of a refresh that had the characters looking good. Sadly, IMO, whatever it was that the first half of Season 8 had going for it disappeared never to return. The "Clois" relationship just never got back on track for me.

                  That was definitely the real Jimmy, no matter what kind of loophole was used to try to take that away. I liked the Clark/Jimmy dynamic of the show - even though there wasn't much of it - but unfortunately another one of Clark's pals gets written out. I don't get it.

                  Yeah, the Clark/Tess interaction in Turbulence is the highest of the series. I was surprised to see that Clark had a higher percentage with Tess in the second half than he did with Lois.

                  And your welcome again, Jeff. It was very time consuming doing this, but it was fun and interesting.

                    ^ In regards to what you said about Clark and Jimmy's interactions, I completely agree, and you're right about my feelings toward Clark's dip in percentages of time with Chloe after this season ended.

                    Here are the percentages of screentime that Clark had with Jimmy, ranked from high to low. I really enjoyed their interactions, so perhaps I'll re-watch the highest ranked episodes they had together, because I thought there was a ton of great potential for their friendship. Following that, I've posted Clark's screentime percentages with Davis.

                    This is the color-coding system I used:
                    Season 6
                    Season 7
                    Season 8

                    Clark's Percentages of Screentime with Jimmy:

                    38.46% - Noir
                    32.98% - Identity
                    25.7% - Trespass
                    18% - Sleeper
                    17.66% - Abyss
                    15.95% - Prey

                    12.95% - Freak
                    12.61% - Instinct
                    12.11% - Apocalypse
                    11.16% - Doomsday
                    8.82% - Hero
                    8.65% - Wither
                    7.21% - Stiletto
                    5.46% - Subterranean
                    5.26% - Bride
                    5.02% - Lara
                    4.48% - Arctic
                    4.47% - Committed
                    3.5% - Cure
                    3.29% - Hydro
                    3.27% - Zod
                    2.08% Descent
                    1.28% - Crimson
                    1.25% - Fierce
                    1.2% - Beast


                    Clark's Percentages of Screentime with Davis:

                    27.09% - Beast
                    19.54% - Prey
                    11.72% - Eternal
                    7.65% - Toxic
                    7.13% - Doomsday (combined total of Davis and Doomsday)
                    5.22% - Plastique
                    2.65% - Bride (as Doomsday)
                    2.2% - Abyss
