  • Chloe contradicts herself, again. Huge mistake.

    Chloe tells Jimmy that she has lived in Smallville for ten years. That is simply impossible. We learned in Obscura that Clark first met Chloe in grade eight when he was assigned to escort her around the school. That would mean that Chloe arrived in Smallville in 2000 or 2001 (at the latest) not 1996 as she claimed (2006 - 10 years).

    Another Smallville discontinuity, like the time Chloe told Clark in Tomb her mother left when she was twelve yet she told Clark in Lineage her mother left when she was five.

    Oh well.

    Wow, you obviously pay more attention than me... So Chloe moved to SV right before the show started...?!? Cause it started in 2001, right? So, how come She, Pete and Clark were already the trio of 'best friends' in the pilot??? And when he told the story about the first Chlark kiss back in 8th grade, it certainly sounded longer ago than just a few months, no...?
    Oh, well. I can live with dis-continuity.
    After all, Chloe is a fictional character.
    Yes, she is.
    Yes, she is.
    Yes, she is.
    Yes, she is.
    Yes, she is.
    I have to keep telling myself, ya know...?

      Clark and Pete had been lifelong friends. Clark, Chloe and Pete had been friends for a year at the start of the first season, which coincides with the start of the school year. They didn't screw that up at least.

      Lack of continuity is just another Smallvillism. It's like the writers are trying their best to create enough phenomena to support a Smallville drinking game. "Chloe contradicts herself", take a drink. "Clark broods in his loft and plays with his balls", take a drink. "Lex opens a bottle of over priced water", take a drink, etc.

          Lee/daddylion once put it very well (and much better than I can) when she said that in SV the writers just focus on a few 'big' moments every episode. They obviously don't care that much about the filler scenes in between those. The result is the sketchy drama we see every thursday, and the usual relationship desasters.

          But what I don't understand is that some characters are still so damn believable that I actually really like them and keep coming back to see them...well, uh...her.

            For the record, Shelby is a boy. Feel free to update your photo album accordingly.

            And Lee is most certainly correct, although the writers have put a lot more effort into continuity in the last few seasons.

              Well, now I want photographic proof that Shelby is a boy...

                  Maybe Chloe was just saying 10 years like rounding it up.. because she would have been in Smallville for at least 7 years..

                    2006-2000 = 6 years. Smallville picks up the story at the start of the grade nine school year (2001). We don't know if Chloe to moved to Smallville in the fall of 2000 or part way through the school year, 2001, but she has been in Smallville no more than six years and no less than five.

                    Ten years is a bit of a stretch.

                    By the way, cute avatar.

                    daddylion also pointed out that the writers focus more on the big moments in the episode and let the details slide. I wish my job was like that.

                      Yeah, I don't think many people stretch how long they've lived somewhere, unless they just don't have good memory or something. I hate the lack of Smallville continuity.

                        Maybe instead of just coming to Smallville when Clark showed her around, she had been going to another school instead.

                          That is refuted by past statements and the fact that Smallville has only one highschool. The simple fact is the writers got it wrong. Again.

                          It's only a big deal for those that agonize over certain details.

                              Just put this discontinuity in the closet with all the other like the discontinuity that smallville is six hours away from metropolis even though the characters drive it in like 2.
