Chloe seems so determined for Clark to think she's living some happy go lucky life. He's usually the person so goes to...and it seems the writers are trying to push Davis into that position.

Especially during their last scene. Chloe doesnt tell Clark Jimmy accused Davis of murder, or that she tased her husband. "We're going to get our happily ever after." What the heck!?! :eek:. It didnt look all that happy to me Chloe.

Which, by Clarks expression...he obviously wasnt buying it.

It looks like the separation is beginning. :(

I can understand why Chloe didn't tell Clark the truth. Admitting you have marital problems, even to your best friend, must be tough. Not to mention that Chloe may not even be admitting all this to herself, so really lying to Clark was actually lying to herself.

Chloe being in denial about a lot of things seems to be a prevalent theme this season. :(

But yeah, PS3, are for sure pulling them Chloe and Clark apart. I saw signs of that since Davis was introduced...

I was disgusted by the comment that Clark should leave the Daily Planet. Clark can take care of himself & was a hero long before Chloe knew his secret. He doesn't need anyone giving him advice like that. That's why he regressed so much over the years.

AGREED! He doesn't need her hanging around.

I think that comment was out of place, chloe was just pimping a double identity last episode and now a complete 380 and he should just hang it up? It didnt make since! Clark and Chloe have been growing more and more distance since the first episode this season. I have felt it all along. Really sad!!

I honestly think the writers threw that in there to show how hypocrital Chloe was being. I love her to death...but when she said "You have the habit of trusting people too fast, and I dont want you to get hurt."

All I could think of was her and Davis...and where that roads leading. Then she chose not to discuss her failing marriage with Clark.

It's all just forshadowing IMO.

I like how they're doing it though. This is what happens with real people -- focus shifts in different directions, and people grow apart.

Chloe was just being over protective. Clark's parents would have said the same thing. They always hated it when Clark took risks.

I agree they are growing apart and it has been evident since the 1st episode this season. They are making the Clois relationship stronger and slowly showing Chloe going to the dooms side. I think this is all forshadowing her death.

Yeah, and after she said that she made a big deep pause. I thought she was thinking and worried that she was doing the same thing but she just didn't want to admit it to her self.

Good point, I never thought of it that way. She seems to be trusting the wrong people. Slowly being seduced by evil. Interesting in an episode where Clark is referenced several times for his goodness and you see Davis becoming darker and darker, almost demonic in his appearance in some cases.

Yeah growing apart... I noticed it when Chloe confided in Davis that she feels guilty, that maybe Jimmy wouldn't be in the position he is in if he hadn't met her. Instead of talking about it to Clark or Lois, she told Davis when she really doesn't know Davis all that well.

I think that showed the Chlavis connection really well. I think she has been less and less truthful with Clark when it comes to her own feeling. When ever she has her own problems she doesn't tell Clark. When she broke up with Jimmy she pretended it didn't phaze her in s7. It's what Chloe does. And sometimes people can have a connection right away. In Abysse they showed this in the backflash of Clark and Chloe. They had this immediate connection right away. They seemed to bond right away because they both felt like outsiders and I think the same thing is true in Chlavis' case.

Little by Little, the writers are preparing us for the break-up of Chloe being Clark's sidekick. Superman doesn't have a sidekick so you know that this parting is inevitable and will be happening sooner than later. It was fun while it lasted but Clark is going to be cutting the apron strings, so to speak, and going out on his own.

nahhhhh, Chlark is GREAT ... nothing can tear them apart ..... I am sure they wil get through everything and their bond will only get stronger, I don´t know if that is possible :lol: :D

I have to agree. That has to be the worst thing Chloe has ever said to him. One minute she was all about the double identity and then when she found out about the plane "crash" she suddenly changed her mind. Clark has been in worse predicaments than that before. Fair enough Tess may know his secret and she can be unpredictable at times, but i think he's right on the money. Tess is NOT LEX. She's not going to use his secret against him.

Clarks right about the DP being his perfect cover. It is in the movies, comics and in LnC; and Chloe KNOWS that. He can't sit on the farm all day and do nothing like he had been throughout S7.

Chloe and Clark are growing apart and have been since Plastique IMO. They're pushing Chloe closer to Davis for a reason.

I hate it that Chlark is growing apart, and I'll only end up accepting it if that relationship, and Chloe in general, has some sort of redemption by the end of the season, or series if Chloe's still around in S9. I didn't really have too much of a problem with what Chloe said to Clark about quitting the DP and hanging up the RBB outfit. To me, like others said, it's just her being overprotective of Clark. I think what happened in "Infamous" really affected her more than she'd like to admit, and she wants to make sure that Clark doesn't make the same mistake twice and reveal himself too easily to others, especially ones who could easily have hidden agendas, like Tess. She was overreacting, and yes, she wasn't thinking through things clearly, or she would've realized that she should often be taking her own advice, such as by getting out of her relationship with Davis while she still can, and looking at all the facts about him. What bothered me much more about that line was the way she was lying about how well her marriage was going, and the whole "happily ever after" bit. Chloe hasn't kept secrets about herself from Clark for quite some time, and it was painful to see it start to happen now, even though I believe most of us could see it coming. :(

This isnt really where I was going with this thread...
Sometimes people just naturally grow apart. It's very heartbraking for this pair...because their friendship was/is so amazing.

I dont think they would ever just give up on it though, so its not looking good for Chloe in my eyes. :\

And I dont think their friendship was ever about "needing" eachother. Yes, from time to time they do....but they have a mutual love for eachother as well. So just because Clark doesnt need a sidekick anymore, that doesnt mean he has to stop needing his best friend.

Superman doesn't have a sidekick

I have to disagree with you there.
He has two sidekicks, Jimmy and Lois. They are known friends and helpers of Superman, which is one of the reasons why those two are targeted by villains alot. The other being that they usually are investigating them already, which involves Clark directly.

Chloe is not only pushing away Clark but also Jimmy, choosing Davis over both of them. It's pretty heartbreaking to see her in such a sad state. There is no denying that things have definitely changed between her and Clark; the romantic dynamic is pretty much gone.

Chloe's you should leave the Planet and hero business advice to Clark was rightly ignored by Clark, who actually seemed to sense that all was not right with her and Jimmy, as shown by his next comment. He also knows that he is not the right person to step in as a marriage counselor but I wish he would take Chloe and Jimmy and shake some sense into both of them. Okay, sorry, this isn't about Chimmy; they were always going to be doomed, I just didn't want Chlark to be doomed as well. Fortunately, Clark doesn't throw away good memories. Unfortunately for the romantic Chlark fans, he just keeps those in his back pocket. Next week is going to be very interesting as far as Chlark is concerned.

Don't ruin one of the best on-screen friendships ever! Chloeeee, come back to us. :(

I'm hoping it's a one-episode blip rather than a real trend. We did after all have the adorable "Am I losing you Clark?" moment in Infamous.

Chloe was not herself in this epi. Even the way AM played the character was weird, it is the first time, I find she seems not convincing at all...

Which, of course, was subsequently wiped out of existence by the Legion ring. :\ At least Clark still remembers it, or should.

Okay, but I consider them friends/co-workers and Lois as girlfriend/wife. To me a sidekick is like Robin as in Batman and Robin, JMHO. Clark has called Chloe his sidekick. I don't recall but has Clark referred to Jimmy or Lois as his sidekick?

Mr.Magic

No, he didn't, but on Smallville Chloe was doing Jimmy's job from Lois & Clark.

Well, it still happened. It's still a fair measure of where their relationship is.

I do kind of wish that moment hadn't been erased though.

To be honest for the most part the relationship seems one sided more often then not. We see Clark run to Chloe needing help being a hero, or his Lana issues, etc but we hardly see her run to him when she has issues.

i think their friendship is so determined.. Chloe has been Clark's only stable friend throughout the entire show.. can we honestly think that it's okay for them to throw it out the window i am really disappointed in how much they are growing apart i miss the connection so much and it's just not fair anymore they made us trail for so long with Lana waiting for the chlark and now they have pushed that aside AGAIN in room for Lois. to be honest Lois and Clark scenes don't excite me as much anymore because it's being done pretty often now.. it's a rarety to find a decent chlark scene :(

I'd like to know what the reason is to for distancing herself from Clark. It's been happening for a while now..

chlo-el
03-22-2009, 11:11 AM
Being close to Clark hasn't done her any favors. She got kicked out of the Daily Planet, got infected by Brainiac, got arrested, and kidnapped, and so much more. It would make sense for anyone to distance themselves from someone who has caused so much turmoil.

Sadly I don't think Chloe is distancing herself for that reason. She just doesn't want Clark to know that her life isn't going good and maybe that she made a mistake and perhaps that mistake had something to do with him. I think the reason why Chloe has continued w/ her relationship with Jimmy was so she could move from Clark. Chloe could never admit that to Clark.

Chlark have always been close but when it comes to Chloe's relationships Chloe keeps her heartache to herself.

There is no place for Chloe anymore in Clark's universe IMO. She had a role before Lois had become closer and closer to Clark and she will become his best friend and will be his future wife.

I'm sorry to say (for Chlarkers) thet she doesn't have a role in SV anymore and they want to create an interesting story for her now, that is why she's been acting strangly lately. But it works cause there are a lot discussions about her on forums!

Yeah growing apart... I noticed it when Chloe confided in Davis that she feels guilty, that maybe Jimmy wouldn't be in the position he is in if he hadn't met her. Instead of talking about it to Clark or Lois, she told Davis when she really doesn't know Davis all that well.

When Chloe said she felt like Jimmy would not be in this position if it was not because of her, it sounded very Clark-like to me. Maybe she does not want to confide in Clark for fear of making him guilty. We already know that he can feeel guilty at the drop of the hat, so I think she was worring how Clark would take on more guilt.

With Davis, she does not have that worry. He is willing to listen to her. Little does she know that he IS the reason Jimmy got hurt in the first place.

She has always put Clark first in their relationship since she has know his secret. She was his Krypo-Hag in Season 5. She listening to the Clana drama and was selfless in her support of him, no matter how that hurt her. She hid that hurt from Clark then, just as she is shielding him now.

JMHO
