Honestly, would it’ve hurt the network to have put up a disclaimer before the show? Something along the lines of “Chloe sucks a lollypop in tonight’s episode- viewers with a history of heart problems should exercise discretion”?
Holy Flurking Schmidt.
“…you’re the cunning linguist…”
I like Chloe.
After the lollipop, I like her a lot more.
Heh. She sure was smoking, wasn’t she?
Why, dear God, why does Clark not forget about Miss Dull and go after Chloe? She’s smart, has a great personality, and is in possession of one of the most radiant smiles, like, ever. Please tell me what Lana’s got over that. I am so confused by the Clark-n-Lana-4ever messages the writers keep pushing – what, with all the “some people are just meant to be together, Clark” long lingering stare instances – when…they’re not! They’re meant to not be together!
Gah.
Fate.
Kizmet.
Superman cannon.
Now, we all know Smallville would NEVER stray from Superman cannon, don’t we?
Yes, Lana wants Superman’s cannon. But I don’t think it’s in the Superman canon to permit that sort of armament to go off, if you know what I mean.
Canon. The word is canon. Putting “Superman cannon” and Lana into the same sentence is wrong. Very, very wrong.
Yeah, Superman cannon. That’s pretty much all it is, because Chloe’s so much more interesting than 2-D Lana.
See, now if I were the director of last night’s episode, in the parting shot where Chloe “merely” takes the lollypop out of her mouth, I would have had her lick it. But then that may get me banned from the WB.
Well, remember that Chloe is, in part, a foreshadowing of another woman in Clark’s future. So Clark does, in some sense, leave Lana behind and pursues someone more like Chloe (though not Chloe herself).
She did lick it when she took it out. Not a big slurp up the side of it, but a definite lingering of the tongue.

You make it sound like Clark dumps Chloe because he finds out she’s a crack hooker or something, but then realizes he loves her, and it is too late. So he goes Chasing Chloe and runs after Lois Lane. not that a storyline like that wouldn’t be cool or anything, but since Lana is hot, he needs to go after her!
I beg to differ – Lana is not hot. She is very pretty, and she has a skittishness to her that’s quite cute, but she’s chilly. Chloe, OTOH, sizzles!
Bah, Clark is a tool.
January 4, 2003 (1/4/03) was a Saturday. Was there a Smallville episode that day?
I saw last night’s show, but am not a regular viewer. In the Smallville version of the Superman canon, is red Kryptonite a variant that came to Earth with the rest of it, or was some green K changed into it somehow?
And in either case, how did Pete get his hands on some?
It’s only known that it exists. Whether it came down with the green K or is green K that somehow changed has not been addressed.
“Meteor rocks” aka kryptonite can be found fairly readily in Smallville and its environs. It’s not unreasonable that Pete would have known where to look for meteor rocks and found a small chunk. Pete also knew what to look for, which helps.
I’m upset that they dared to do the whole memory got erased thing again. How many times can people learn that Clark has superpowers and then the memory gets erased? It was old before the show started and they’ve used it countless times. It doesn’t matter who you tell your secret to because there’s a really good chance they’ll forget about it or die. Either way it’s win/win. :rolleyes:
Yeah, that bothered the hell out of me, too. I swear, it’s amazing that town can ever get anything done, what with everyone losing their memories at the drop of a hat. As soon as Chloe found out about Clark, I KNEW she wasn’t going to remember a thing. :rolleyes:
Yeah, I was hoping she’d remember too. Apparently the only one who remembers anything suspicious that episode is Lex, and given the lack of continuity that show has, he’ll probably forget too. :rolleyes:
As anyone who’s read “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex” or “The Filth” #5 would realize.

Actually, I was hoping beyong hope that Chloe DID remember, and just didn’t say anything because she knew Clark wanted it that way. Maybe down the road she’ll say that.
I fully agree with all pro-Chloe sentiments. She looked good with the black streaks in her hair. Lana is eh looking, but something about her is just…off. Not physically (though I don’t find her that attractive) but just personality-wise. I’ve heard that off-camera she’s cold and stuffy, but that may just be talk.
The kid’s death in the beginning was kind of surprising to me. I thought for sure he’d survive somehow. But no, splat. A least he did something Stupid “Normal” Clark hasn’t: smooched the everhot Chloe.
I have to admit, last night’s episode for some reason brought something home for me that I hadn’t really thought about before this: The amount of deceit Clark has to do to get through his life. Superman: The Liar of Steel. Sure, it’s for a good cause, but still. That’s a lot of pressure and weight on a guy, especially one in high school.
I don’t mean to take away from the Allison Mack droolfest, because, ya know, I’d be right there with you, but I’m wondering if anyone’s tallied up the body count from this series. Specifically, from Smallville High.
Look, we’re dealing with an alien who’s faster than a speeding bullet and can make popcorn with Eyes of Death ™, so I’m not exactly expecting this to be like real life, you know? Nevertheless, if my high school had an average of one kid die every week, look, that would be it. The town would move. We’d bus out to other districts. Half the class would be in therapy for the next 10 years. Let’s face it, Smallville should be Ghostville by now.
When will you people get a clue?
Yes, Lana’s pretty. Scary pretty. Yes, Chloe could melt a hole in a thing with a really high melting point just by licking a lollipop. Sorry, gotta take a minute here to savour that one.
Anyway, what does that have to do with Clark?
Clark has already found the object of his affections, and it’s a rich bald guy.
I thought this was probably a “bring your own subtext” issue until I saw “Red” just after reading the HoYay thread on Television Without Pity. Then I had an epiphany. I could tell it was an epiphany because I spit a mouthful of perfectly good beer across the room.
Clark and Lex, you think about that and suddenly the whole way the first season is shot makes sense.
Should Chloe need some consoling once Clark realizes his forbidden love, I’d be glad to offer my services.
Oh, and if it doesn’t work out that way, Lex should call me, we’ll get a beer and see what happens.
