Do you still like Chloe?
Alot of people are saying that she is turning into the new Lana.
She is becoming darker, does this make you not like her character anymore?
Personally I still like Chloe, she is much different now though.
Just looking back to season 6 or 7 she has changed so much, but then agian what do we expect with all she has been through?
For an example when Lex turned darker, we still liked his character right?
is it the same thing with Chloe or have we give up on her?

I still do like her but that "like" is decreasing by the day. The writers ran her character into the ground this season and I think she is quickly becoming the next "Lana Lang" which is rather disappointing for all of us long time Chloe fans.

I agree and my only hope is that they are planning on something big for Chloe to redeem herself.

I don't think Chloe needs to be redeemed as I don't see her as being in the wrong. She's not perfect of course. But she doesn't have the knowledge that we the audience has. So, I'm not holding her to those standards. I loved the episode, even though it was heartbreaking for everyone. This has been one of the few episodes where I haven't been bored for most of it this season.
GO CHLOE!!! And Davis of course. Though I liked everyone in the episode tonight.

Chloe's mistakes just for this episode alone:
-Tasering Jimmy
-Not trusting Jimmy, ever. Even after Davis broke the handcuffs he was in.
-Trusting Davis even when he was covered in blood in that one episode and told her that he might be killing people. Even after Clark warned her about him.
-Telling Clark to quit the Daily Planet and stop being the Red and Blue Blur (after convincing him to start both of those things).
The list probably goes on. We know that Clark finds out that Davis is Doomsday by Eternal and we find out that STILL Chloe will be supporting him (reasons unknown at this point).
Chloe is a trainwreck and this episode alone is enough to prove it. I love the old gal but the writers have really Lanafied her. lol

I still like her. Its not the first time that she took a darker turn (season 2-3)and I'm not the kind of person who flip-flops my opinion in every episodes (i.e: popular in Bulletproof/ disliked in Power) (popular again in Infamous/disliked in Turbulence).
She makes mistakes and has done some questionable actions. I can accept and I'll see where it will lead her.

I like Chloe. She was duped this evening, but I don't blame her for this. Davis' plan was brilliant. Jimmy is too insecure when it comes to Clark and now it seems with Davis as well. I've seen him much more rational than he was tonight. No one was believing him - not Chloe, not the hospital attendants and I think with good reason. Heck, I thought it was dreaming at first when he saw Davis kill that guy. Chloe is a character still worth rooting for.

The reason I say that is because like I said in another thread not only did Clark tell her he didn't trust Davis but Davis himself told her he's afraid he might be killing people and now her own husband tells her he saw Davis kill a guy. That's three times she's been told basically the same thing by three different people and she won't even consider it. What else has to happen for her to think you know there might be something to this. Bear in mind this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Chloe.

I'm not really caring for this insinuation that Chloe is becoming darker and therefore like Lana. Lana is not dark and neither is Chloe in my opinion. Last I checked she was a superhero. So if Chloe is becoming like Lana, good for her. Because Lana is dedicated to saving lives. What do you think Bre?

I still like Chloe.
In "Infamous" before the time turn-back everything was wonderfully smooth and direct. Davis further affirmed that he can't settle for just being friends with Chloe. It seemed that this was partly to protect her. He said their friendship could be dangerous. Chloe heard it as a choice between Davis and Jimmy and chose Jimmy. THEN upon finding out that Davis was a monster out to kill Clark - Chloe showed where her loyalty lay again without hesitation.
When Clark turned back time, I knew these scenarios would be the first to change. So now things are convoluted, confusing and tragic.
We saw in "Infamous" where Chloe is concerning Davis' identity. She thinks he's a lovesick EMS worker who's feeling weird about kissing her. As far as I know she deleted all his messages and hasn't really talked to him since he returned to town. She has NO CLUE about his murderous tenancies.
She's visibly worried about Jimmy's health and mental state. She's feeling guilty... unreasonably... that maybe Jimmy would have been better off if he'd never met her. She's emotionally fragile. She's not perfect. I like that. It's better than the happy coffee sipping Chloe from the Lana arc. LOL!
When Davis first confronts Jimmy about his "hallucinations" Chloe sides with Jimmy. She says nothing was wrong with his medicine. It's the leap to murderer that throws Chloe. And Davis was very clever to drug Jimmy. After seeing Jimmy yelling into an empty room... it's understandable that Chloe's confused.
Finally, Chloe tells Clark to quit the DP and stop with the RBB. She's afraid for him. She cares about him. Tess might try and hurt him. What if she knew his weakness.
*shrug*
Yes... it seemed for a moment there that the writers were throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Chloe, trying to find a place for her in the story. I can understand the Lana comparisons. But I love Chloe. Always have, always will. I think flaws and mistakes just make her more interesting. Especially if, unlike Lana, they continue to be acknowledged by the other characters and if she grows from them.

I agree, Davis set up the perfect plan.
Who is she going to believe, a paramedic or a guy who is seeing things that aren't there and screaming?
It wasn't entirely her fault, Davis set the trap and she fell into it.
And what a brilliant trap it was.

Chloe is NOT the new Lana. Why do people keep saying that? Yes, Chloe is making a lot of mistakes right now and yes Chloe should be trusting Clark and Jimmy when they tell her to doubt Davis but that doesn't make her Lana Lang.
-Lana stole and kept Lex Luthor's blood money...Chloe would never do that.
-Lana kidnapped and tortured a man...Chloe would never do that she is only helping Davis because she believes him to be good.
-Lana became power hungry and wanted to have power permanently...Chloe became very smart and enjoyed it but she would never willingly make herself that way.
-Lana wants to be a hero...Chloe already is one! She helps Clark and the JL every chance she gets as a regular, normal woman.
Lana started off as a good character and then spiraled down. This last arc the producers tried to make her a saint but we all saw through that. Chloe is being vilified for no reason. All she has done thus far is make bad choices. She hasn't done anything wrong. And no one has proof that she has.
And going back to the main topic, yes, of course I still like Chloe. She's one of the good guys. And she's just making bad choices right now. :)

I love this post! And I put bold over the best part. Chloe's mistakes are going to be seen by others including Chloe herself. She just needs time because right now she's just very trusting. What I never liked about Lana was that she never took any responsibility for her actions and no one around ever asked her to take responsibility either.

YES, I still like Chloe. She's just another Victim of the Devastation and 'Trauma Drama' that has been the on-going story of Smallville, The Meteor Capital of the World. Chloe lived in Smallville for half of her life and she and her immediate family fell victims to the toxic effects of the meteor shower. It's only sadder because Chloe became Clark's best friend and confidante. Everyone he's Ever loved has been negatively affected by his arrival on Earth. It's unfortunate and Sad, but true. So, these experiences and People are memories Clark will have with him for the rest of his long life. Up until recently, Chloe has been a True and Loyal friend. She's suffered so much Because of her close association with Clark. I was one of those people who thought it was a noble and selfless thing for Clark to have Chloe's memory of his 'alien-ness' erased to protect her and keep her from any further suffering. That would've been the only way she could've had a 'normal' life, IMO.
It's Smallville's and Al/Miles' Re-Interpretation of Clark Kent's pre-Superman life that has created this 'Lethal Legacy' that must follow this future Superman into his destiny. All the 'Rights' he'll accomplish with his heroism won't be able to erase the memories of these life-changing events he's had to witness. It's a Tragedy that Clark must turn into a Triumph. That's why Jor-El showed him the AU world without him in "Apocalypse", because without him it could be even worse. So, SADLY, Chloe is a Major part of all that. She had Always been a Good Person. IMO, she's still not recovered from the effects of her Brainiac infection. She'll probably never be the same again, and I believe that the Writers had Brainiac plan it that way in an attempt to 'Cripple' Clark by what's happened to Chloe.
Since Chloe is determined to be absolutely Devoted to Clark and keeping his 'secret', I think that Jimmy deserves Better, too. A lot of people complained about 'Chimmy', but Jimmy Olsen was the kindest, most honest- after a little time, loyal, and sweetest 'Boyfriend' any girl could ever hope to have, IMO. He had an originality about him in his approach to 'courtship', and he was quite Thoughtful, too. Chloe doesn't get Any Brownie Points for the way she's treated Jimmy. I don't think that she ever meant to hurt him, but she was just more Loyal to Clark, which is wrong as she's Jimmy's 'Wife'.

Great post! I agree. Chloe wasn't out right defending Davis right away. Her logic was telling her what Davis said wasn't adding up. And her heart was telling her Davis wasn't a murderer.
And no one is perfect, not Lana, Chloe, Lois, Clark, Jimmy, Tess, Oliver, and Davis all aren't perfect. They all have to learn and grow from their mistakes. And it does make Chloe intersting showing her flaws. It would be boring if everything was black and white and no one ever made any mistakes at all. I think they have shown Chloes growth through out the seasons. Chloe made big mistakes in s2-3 but they showed her learn and grow from those amazingly. I love the redemption that both her and Clark got. They both made mistakes and they both forgave each other. It was beautiful.
I still admire Chloe for still trying to be a good person. She was trying to be a good wife. She just seemed really trapped to me. Like she wanted to get out but didn't want to be a bad person. I love that Chloe still tries to be a good person and tires to help people.

First of all, I still like Chloe. When a character makes a mistake it adds a level of interest to the story that prompts discussions to increase. But I'm not going to ignore her faults in this response.
When Davis first confronts Jimmy about his "hallucinations" Chloe sides with Jimmy. She says nothing was wrong with his medicine. It's the leap to murderer that throws Chloe. And Davis was very clever to drug Jimmy. After seeing Jimmy yelling into an empty room... it's understandable that Chloe's confused.
At first I thought Chloe was in the right considering that Jimmy was drugged up, but he is the third person to point out how dangerous Davis is (first two being Clark and Davis himself for crying outloud). With him being the third person, that should have been all the proof she should need that something was wrong.

I can't answer yes or no at this point. I haven't much cared for Chloe's storyline this season, and I feel like there is way, way too much emphasis on her character at this point. I was never a fan of LanaVille in the past, and I'm no fan of ChloeVille in the present. And whether its fair or not, I tend to start resenting a character thats written at Clark's expense, and I think Chloe is too much of the time.
But, with a few tweaks in the writing, and just a little bit of pullback on her storyline, I'm sure I'd be OK with her again.

Despite the terrible decisions she continues to make I still like her. I think Chloe has the right idea. She is just unable to make good decisions.
I want less Pod!Chloe but yes, she's definitely my favorite character along with Clark and Shelby.

03-20-2009, 08:40 AM
Clark, Chloe and Lois are my three fav. characters. And I still like Chloe, however as a Chloe fan and comparing her to the past, her character has dramatically changed and I think it is because of the affect Brainiac had on her.
I don't like the fact that under Brainiac Chloe killed someone and I don't like the fact that she tazered Jimmy and I agree with everyone about three people telling her Davis is bad and her not listening.
However, I don't blame Chloe. I blame the writers. There is so much going on in this season, Clark trying to become superman, Doomsday, superpowred Lana, Lex or death of Lex and Clois that it makes the rest of the characters kind of boring--or they don't seem to fit into the plot. Take a look at Oliver, he went from justice to injustice for what I felt was an attempt to make is character more interesting or fit him into a story, and they are doing the same thing with Chloe. They are making her have this conflict with herself, her friends, and her husband to just to add more depth to her character and make her more interesting to the audience then just cookie-cutter Chloe from the past, ontop of trying to give her a purpose in the story line.
That is just my thought anyway.

I still like Chloe.
In "Infamous" before the time turn-back everything was wonderfully smooth and direct. Davis further affirmed that he can't settle for just being friends with Chloe. It seemed that this was partly to protect her. He said their friendship could be dangerous. Chloe heard it as a choice between Davis and Jimmy and chose Jimmy. THEN upon finding out that Davis was a monster out to kill Clark - Chloe showed where her loyalty lay again without hesitation.
When Clark turned back time, I knew these scenarios would be the first to change. So now things are convoluted, confusing and tragic.
We saw in "Infamous" where Chloe is concerning Davis' identity. She thinks he's a lovesick EMS worker who's feeling weird about kissing her. As far as I know she deleted all his messages and hasn't really talked to him since he returned to town. She has NO CLUE about his murderous tenancies.
She's visibly worried about Jimmy's health and mental state. She's feeling guilty... unreasonably... that maybe Jimmy would have been better off if he'd never met her. She's emotionally fragile. She's not perfect. I like that. It's better than the happy coffee sipping Chloe from the Lana arc. LOL!
When Davis first confronts Jimmy about his "hallucinations" Chloe sides with Jimmy. She says nothing was wrong with his medicine. It's the leap to murderer that throws Chloe. And Davis was very clever to drug Jimmy. After seeing Jimmy yelling into an empty room... it's understandable that Chloe's confused.
Finally, Chloe tells Clark to quit the DP and stop with the RBB. She's afraid for him. She cares about him. Tess might try and hurt him. What if she knew his weakness.
*shrug*
Yes... it seemed for a moment there that the writers were throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Chloe, trying to find a place for her in the story. I can understand the Lana comparisons. But I love Chloe. Always have, always will. I think flaws and mistakes just make her more interesting. Especially if, unlike Lana, they continue to be acknowledged by the other characters and if she grows from them.
I wished I shared your sentiments but I've just never liked Chloe.
My dislike goes back to season 1. I just found her really annoying then with her looking into Clark's adoption and all. That is just never cool and she even did it again in season 2 in Lineage. They really set her up nicely to be the good friend once season 4 started and while it was true I was kind of upset that they just dismissed Pete and called Chloe Clark's best friend.
Anyway, for me she has become less annoying but just not one of my favorite characters.

I found her character to be incredibly boring all through season 7, her hacking scenes were becoming repetitive and unbelievable, so it's refreshing to see that she's having some kind of emotional development and growth this season that is not related to researching for Clark. What it's happening to her right now is not uncommon. Problems between newlyweds, an unexpected addiction, a hot guy showing up in a crucial moment and shaking your world. The characters are now adults and facing adult problemsdaily problems. Now it seems it's Chloe's time.

I've been leery of Chloe ever since that episode in which Jimmy had first suspected that Clark had powers. It was bad enough that Clark was trying to convince him that he was delusional. But when Chloe got into the game . . . hmmmm.
But there were other small things - her continuing obssession with Clark and his secret, her unwillingness to stop her upcoming marriage with Jimmy when it was obvious that she didn't truly love him, her support of Oliver's murder of Lex, and the fact that Lois visited Jimmy in the hospital a lot more than Chloe did.
I don't hate Chloe . . . but I don't love her. But if I must be honest, I never really did.

I can't say for sure how I feel about chloe, she's definetly turned down a path that is not easily returned from, and she's making horrible descions in her personal life and in regards to the whole sebastian thing.
I didn't vote because I neither like or hate chloe at this point, to me she's just a charachter.
Too bad it doesn't stop there. I can't seem to forget SHE is one of the main persons(at times the only one) helping Clark make life altering decisions in HIS life right now. With him it's more like world altering decisions and lately her advice doesn't come off as very sound, IMO.
Technically they're all just characters, so you lost me on that one. :confused:
I liked Chloe in the past but right now I could care less if she makes her own life crap. The problem I see ahead, at the rate things are going, she's gonna take Clark(and no doubt a few others) down with her and THAT I'm not okay with! :mad:

I was a huge Chloe fan from seasons 1 - 6ish. After season 6, I found myself being more pulled toward Lois. For me, Chloe is changing too much. She isn't putting faith in the people she loves. And to be quite honest, she's pissing me off.
Jimmy is her husband. I completely support what he did tonight. Chloe needs to man-up.
I do still like Chloe, but I really didn't like the way she treated Jimmy in this episode, and I don't like the direction the writers are taking her character.

Yes, of course I still like her....but she is making bad choices, thats for sure.
I think her problem is she's too trusting. Atleast of the wrong people....she can trust a guy she just met, but not her husband.
I think all of this needed to happen though, and Chloe definitely doesnt derserve all of the blame. Davis should get the grunt of it.

03-20-2009, 12:58 PM
A few folks here have pointed out that it maybe because of the writers that Chloe's character has taken a direction that many of her supporters/fans don't like.
On the spoilers page, we hear a permanent character is going to die (and die permanently)... so it might be Chloe. She and Clark are the only characters from the beginning, and you can't kill Superman yet. Plus in the episode "Legion" they said they never heard of Chloe in the history records. That's another clue/indication she might not make it to old age or history.
Chloe's character has been many things since the beginning of SV. She was a possible love interest, the reporter, the confidante, the spy, the friend, and now a possible weakness/turned enemy. Her character has saved the day and nearly destroyed the world...
Allison Mack is a great actress and when you take a character like Chloe, who has been around Meteor Freaks, Violence, Murder, Betrayal, Near Death, Marriage, Love, Heartache, Joy, and just about every scenario under the sun from possession/mind control to near borderline insanity... a REGULAR human being, scratch that... a regular person (genetics aside) is going to have some personality quirks and issues. Clark's paranoia and near irrational attraction to secrecy and not immediately trusting a person with the truth. Chloe's curiosity and almost uncontrollable desire to broadcast things to everyone (the episode where she had the truth speaking ability and it nearly killed her). Lex obsession. Period.
I still love the Chloe character and she made for great story plot, continuity, and a perspective that gets rarely played out in superhero themed shows.
I'll be sad when she dies, but hopefully it will be written in a way that helps the mythos and keep SV going in some cool ways until the show's end.

I still like Chloe, don't love her, but like her. I am worried about where her character is headed and am quite angry with how she handled things in Turbulance. I don't have much hope that things are going to get better for her anytime soon. But still am interested in what is going on with her and her connection to Doomsday.

03-20-2009, 03:43 PM
I was always neutral when it came to Chloe, but I got to the conclusion, this season, that the writers seem to do whatever it takes to change my opinion, unfortunately. So, with how her character was written until now and with what the spoilers say about her future, I'm starting to dislike her.

Chloe's mistakes just for this episode alone:
-Tasering Jimmy
-Not trusting Jimmy, ever. Even after Davis broke the handcuffs he was in.
-Trusting Davis even when he was covered in blood in that one episode and told her that he might be killing people. Even after Clark warned her about him.
-Telling Clark to quit the Daily Planet and stop being the Red and Blue Blur (after convincing him to start both of those things).
The list probably goes on. We know that Clark finds out that Davis is Doomsday by Eternal and we find out that STILL Chloe will be supporting him (reasons unknown at this point).
Chloe is a trainwreck and this episode alone is enough to prove it. I love the old gal but the writers have really Lanafied her. lol
Is it possible Chloe is still under some influence from Braniac or being manipulated by someone else?

No, I really don't care for the character anymore. The writers seem to want to push her into the unneeded category in Clark's life and her decisions lately seem to reflect that. Why the hell would she still be so chummy with Davis despite the warnings from the two most important men in her life, Jimmy and Clark? Davis kissed her before her marriage and now wants to be just friends... and she agrees. Really? She has that much trust in a guy she's known for such a short period of time to go from kissing an engaged Chloe to buddy/pal?
I think the writers used Chloe in the same role as Clark's best friend/confidant/concience for so long, that now that she isn't needed in that role anymore that they did a piss poor job of reflecting that. She's been giving Clark advice and opinions for years, long enough for us the viewers to get a good bead on what she would say. How many of you were thrown a curve in this episode. I sure was. After finishing the episode, I wanted to see if Jimmy really was the only one on drugs.

LoisLaneKicksAss
03-20-2009, 06:24 PM
yup. that would be the answer. i mean, we got the complete "bride of doomsday" image in Bride, i think that doomsday is going to kill chloe. but who knows, thats how i would write the show, because, like the Legion says, Chloe doesn't appear in any of their history books.
I don't think Chloe needs to be redeemed as I don't see her as being in the wrong. She's not perfect of course. But she doesn't have the knowledge that we the audience has. So, I'm not holding her to those standards. I loved the episode, even though it was heartbreaking for everyone. This has been one of the few episodes where I haven't been bored for most of it this season. GO CHLOE!!! And Davis of course. Though I liked everyone in the episode tonight.
I agree! I think people need a character they can hate, and they are jumping on the 'I hate Chloe' bandwagon way to quickly!
First it was because she was holding Clark back! Well now that Clark is growing more independant by the episode, she is hated because of her relationship with Davies, I guess she is supposed to run him out of the village with a pitchfork on suspicion alone!.....
Then she is hated for not being a perfect wife to a increasingly whiny and insecure person!
Then she is hated for not being a saint, it seems a lot of people have grown accostumed to her being a saint, even though the same people complain when she uses that sainthood in order to chastise and help Clark!
And lastly, it seems she is hated sooly for the purpose of being hated! I mean when Lana was the leading lady, people hated her, now that Chloe is the leading lady, people hate her, and one has to wonder, when Lois assumes the first place, will she be hated to?
Objectivly speaking, so far Chloe has done nothing other than being a human being, who makes human mistakes! Big and small, the good and the ugly as they say! As it should be, because what fans can and should relate to are human beings, not saints who set impossible standards to reach!
I mean that barily works for Clark, and he is an alien with superpowers, who also has had to strugle with making the right choice all the time, and has in the course of 8 years made his fair share of mistakes! Quite big ones!
So if one is willing to forgive him the next episode after, then one needs to dial down on the judgment!
And yet here we are, taking up the pitchfork, itching to beat up another leading lady with our opinions!

I like Chloe as a character, and the dramatic turn her character has just taken is fascinating. Plus AM really knocked it out of the park this time-- her acting is a treat to watch.
OTOH, I'm beginning to dislike Chloe as a (fictional!) person. In fact, I think she was being a real bi*** in "Turbulence". This is the first time we've even seen her visiting her wounded husband, and the first thing she does is start chastising him about his pain medication. Like he's some kind of wimp! The poor guy's been hospitalized for five weeks, he's in agony, maybe he deserves, I dunno, a little sympathy...?
And maybe, when her husband tells her he saw Davis kill a guy, she ought to give him the benefit of the doubt. A little loyalty. It's his word against Davis', so why does she take Davis' side? It's odd. And it's a slap in the face to Jimmy. Not only is she factually wrong, she ought to know better: Davis himself had come to her suspecting he was a killer! It's really not much of a stretch to believe that he is indeed a killer.
Then that prolonged hug right outside Jimmy's hospital room. What was she thinking?
Why does she trust Davis? Why believe his word over her husband's? This is a guy who was virtually stalking her... on her wedding day!
The only reason I can think of why she would side with Davis over her own husband is that she's ashamed of Jimmy. Ashamed that he's "weak", that he's breakable (unlike, say Clark... or Doomsday) and that he's in pain.
Chloe behaved very badly in this one. What she did is unforgivable. Truly, literally unforgivable! I was actually glad when Jimmy told her off in the hospital corridor, when he told her that marrying her was the worst mistake of his life, and left her there crying her little eyes out. She deserved it! And I'm thinking, she does not deserve Jimmy...
Wonderfully acted though! AM did a great job of showing a new side of Chloe, a foolish, unsympathetic, and despicable Chloe.

I felt bad for Jimmy, I don't like him, but he didn't deserve that either.
If Chloe didn't love him she should have told him and finish that nightmare for once and for all.
Of course it wouldn't have been easy, can't blame her for that, but still.
It looks like she can trust Davis over Jimmy and even open up to him.
I don't recall seeing Chloe opening up to her husband. Ever.

As far as Brainiac goes... Jimmy isn't the only person she intended to keep the extent of her powers from.
In general, Chloe doesn't open up enough about her problems. I guess it's a character flaw. She internalizes everything.

Just because we didn't see her visiting her husband doesnt mean that she didnt and this was her first visit (just responding to someone that said the first time we see her she's doing this or that)
And who's to say she didnt investigate what Davis said. IF she talked to the hospital staff about the drunk driver they would of told her they had a search for him and didnt find him just like davis said (but they wouldnt know its because davis killed him) and by the time Jimmy mentioned the died guy in the ambulance i'm sure it would of been gone if she investigated. Remember this show is only 40-45 mins long.. Alot ends up on the cutting room floor or not even filmed it goes on in off screensville.

And they were turning into the new Clana with all of these trust issues.
I don't see how people can blame Jimmy for his reactions. His own WIFE choosing to believe a man he SAW murdering someone over him. And then tasing him while he was still injured.
Not cool.
Jimmy is no saint either, but he didn't deserve to be treated like that. It's just like Buffy and Riley.
She wanted him there when SHE wanted. And when she didn't, she'd push him aside.
Not once thinking of his feelings.

Her lack of respect for Jimmy is disturbing. It first really came out in the episode where Jimmy worked out that Clark was the Red Blue Blur, and Chloe stood there with Clark lying to Jimmy-- her fiancee-- basically telling him he was Crazy. She didn't even bat an eyelash, taking Clark's side over Jimmy's. Lying to him.
Her treatment of Jimmy has been pretty shabby. She treats him like an inferior. Turbulence brought it all to a head, and I was glad Jimmy finally worked up the courage to tell her off. And walk out the door.
The way she dismissed his version of events (which was the true version!) showed a fundamental lack of respect and an unforgivable absence of loyalty. She trusted Davis-- who has been virtually stalking her, someone she does not know well, someone who not long ago confessed to her that he himself suspected he was a killer.
The only reason I see for Chloe taking sides against her own husband is she is mildly disgusted with Jimmy. Because he needs pain medication for his pain. Yeah Chloe, I guess that makes him a weakling, makes him less than a man. So she goes to seek comfort in the brawny arms of Davis, hugging him in full view of Jimmy's hospital bed. Nice one, Chloe.

If she comes back for season 9, I really hope she has more purpose than just being Clark's friend. But right now, I really can't stand her recent interaction with Clark. She could die, for all I care.

She should have revealed him Clark's secret? Its her place to do so?
I agree that she treated him as an inferior. Mostly in Noir where she dismissed him and barely ackonowledged him when he tried to share what he thinked happened when Lana got shot.
But for lying to him about Clark? Farnkly i have no idea what she was supposed to do.

I don't think it is as simply to say you like her or hate her but it is safe to say I am disappointed in her this season. I think she has a the jones for davis and that is screwing her up. now I am not saying her hormones is what the entire problem is but I dont think she and Jimmy consemated there wedding vows. Now that is grounds for an annullment but I also think chloe is not thinking with her head and something else.

They seem to be doing alot of twists of fate lately. It was a twist of fate that Chloe, as stated in Infamous, deleted distraught voice mail from Davis. It was a twist of fate that Clark put the ring on before Lois said Davis was the monster. "Twist of Fate" may not be the right term but it seems like Davis lucks out about 3x an episode.
I think they want us to see that Chloe is just missing by a whisper the key clues that would let her know something is wrong. By clearing Davis as a suspect in the murders in Prey, both Chloe and Clark took him off their suspect list. They are overcompensating for what they thought was a false accusation. I think that was the whole point of Prey -- to deflect future attention from Davis.
The other thing is the weird unexplained connection. Craig said we'd see a connection in this episode. So, I think the connection is that Chloe calms the beast. Is it her MF heart (does she still have that?). There was also the comment that the only other person she felt this comfortable with was Clark (the other Kryptonian). IDK. Just seems to me Chloe is both just missing key clues and blind to them because she believes Davis was proven a good guy. Remember how he brought her back in Abyss? He sure acted like a good guy.
I also don't think she's the new Lana. I think it's lead actress syndrome. I think as the lead actress she gets the damsel in distress roles but they don't quite fit with her smart-girl role S1-S7. She was ALWAYS the one to pick up on something was wrong and now she misses a ton of things. I think any female lead will get the same "dumbed down" treatment so they can go into "distress". I wish the writers would be more clever.

I honestly don't want to dislike chloe but it upsets me that she doesn't believe her own husband and poor jimmy's in desperate help specially her help!

I still like Chloe.
In "Infamous" before the time turn-back everything was wonderfully smooth and direct. Davis further affirmed that he can't settle for just being friends with Chloe. It seemed that this was partly to protect her. He said their friendship could be dangerous. Chloe heard it as a choice between Davis and Jimmy and chose Jimmy. THEN upon finding out that Davis was a monster out to kill Clark - Chloe showed where her loyalty lay again without hesitation.
When Clark turned back time, I knew these scenarios would be the first to change. So now things are convoluted, confusing and tragic.
We saw in "Infamous" where Chloe is concerning Davis' identity. She thinks he's a lovesick EMS worker who's feeling weird about kissing her. As far as I know she deleted all his messages and hasn't really talked to him since he returned to town. She has NO CLUE about his murderous tenancies.
She's visibly worried about Jimmy's health and mental state. She's feeling guilty... unreasonably... that maybe Jimmy would have been better off if he'd never met her. She's emotionally fragile. She's not perfect. I like that. It's better than the happy coffee sipping Chloe from the Lana arc. LOL!
When Davis first confronts Jimmy about his "hallucinations" Chloe sides with Jimmy. She says nothing was wrong with his medicine. It's the leap to murderer that throws Chloe. And Davis was very clever to drug Jimmy. After seeing Jimmy yelling into an empty room... it's understandable that Chloe's confused.
Finally, Chloe tells Clark to quit the DP and stop with the RBB. She's afraid for him. She cares about him. Tess might try and hurt him. What if she knew his weakness.
*shrug*
Yes... it seemed for a moment there that the writers were throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Chloe, trying to find a place for her in the story. I can understand the Lana comparisons. But I love Chloe. Always have, always will. I think flaws and mistakes just make her more interesting. Especially if, unlike Lana, they continue to be acknowledged by the other characters and if she grows from them.
This is an awsome post. I can see the Lana compairson too, but it is so different from Lana also. I was watching Truth from season three and that revealed a lot about Chloe character too.
I also just think that this storyline is proving a point that was is the last part of Truth with clark and Chloe in the loft. I really shows who she is.
Chloe: I really wish I could believe that. But there have been so many times when my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Maybe this is just who I am.
Clark: No. You're going after the truth. Chloe, there's nothing wrong with that.
Chloe: Unless it hurts the people you care most about. I'm just afraid that one day I'm gonna push too hard, and I'm not gonna get the chance to say I'm sorry.
Clark: (Smiling.) Today's not that day.

No, I don't like Chloe anymore. I don't find her character all that intresting; never did. She's boring and really doesn't bring a whole lot to the show, IMO. :\

I can't answer yes or no at this point. I haven't much cared for Chloe's storyline this season, and I feel like there is way, way too much emphasis on her character at this point. I was never a fan of LanaVille in the past, and I'm no fan of ChloeVille in the present. And whether its fair or not, I tend to start resenting a character thats written at Clark's expense, and I think Chloe is too much of the time.
But, with a few tweaks in the writing, and just a little bit of pullback on her storyline, I'm sure I'd be OK with her again.
This is pretty much how I feel....Once again Supe's journey is playing second fiddle to some damm love triangle thing.
I mean damm you've had 7 freaking seasons to do all that over and over again.The remaining time spent should be devoted to the mythos and fans of the character, All the "Dawson Creekers" who love that drama have had their time..........Could we please just focus this last season and a 1/4 on Clark becoming Superman.

I've never been crazy about Chloe, and now there is no place for her in the show IMO. She's done her part, she's been Clark's friend and was helping him.
From season 5 she has become a mother-like figure to Clark giving him advices all the time and making him look bad and stupid. I really didn't like that from season 5 or 6 she has become Clark's brain making him a BDA. CK's character was really messed up thanks to her on few occasions.
In season 8 Clark is finally working out things by himself, using his brain like in first 4 seasons and i like that a lot and Chloe's role has ended IMO. Lois should take her place cause she will be his best friend and his wife in the future, not Chloe. And Lois will be the one who gives Clark good advises when he's Supes, not Chloe.
I really didn't like that Chloe told CK about two identities in the episode before, I don't like the idea that if it hadn't been for Chloe Clark wouldn't make important future decisions that will lead him into becoming Superman.
So I do not really care what happens to her character now, I only want the producers to make an interesting story for Chloe now and I'd rather she wasn't in the 9th season but if she is, make it 12 or 13 epis, not more!

Do you still like Chloe?
Alot of people are saying that she is turning into the new Lana.
She is becoming darker, does this make you not like her character anymore?
Personally I still like Chloe, she is much different now though.
Just looking back to season 6 or 7 she has changed so much, but then agian what do we expect with all she has been through?
For an example when Lex turned darker, we still liked his character right?
is it the same thing with Chloe or have we give up on her?
i love her but she needs to save the day for once.

Chloe was "alright" in the beginning, but has gradually become annoying. I dont care for her anymore, and I think its time for her to go. More than likely, she'll be Clarks downfall if he isnt careful.
The show has a chance to regain some of the shine it once had before Lana flushed it down the toilet, and if Chloe doesnt snap out of this stupid phase, or gets booted, the show will be crossing the border into soap opera land.... or is it already there?

Not only that I didn't like Chloe in this episode but,I don't like her storylines at all this season.Franckly,she is really hard fallowed.Jimmy was right I wonder why she married him on the first place.I think she only did it to show CK that she really moved on but,she obviously didn't.

Yes, I still like Chloe. I don't mind the tear-her-down-so-you-can-build-her-back-up storyline -- I think one could argue the entire series has been one giant redemption arc for Clark Kent. What would bother me is if they they handle the redemption badly (as they did by re-victimizing Lana in Season 6) or by not resolving it (as with the Lois/Grant relationship in Season 7).
It now occurs to me that I'm putting way too much faith in Smallville's writers. But I've been doing that for awhile now.

I only hope she doesn't get too close to Davis!!

The only problem with that is that they have torn her down almost the entire series. Ever since Season 2 began, Chloe has been kicked around almost nonstop. The few flashes of glory she's gotten have been far overshadowed by Kick the Chloe nonsense. I'm not expecting any building back up of her character.

I cant blame him for being insecure given the way she has behaved. There is a limit to how much one can take.
All that said though, I still like Chloe.

I have to say no and that hurts me, this is coming from someone who was cheering her on when she gave Clark the lip lock in the DP after Clark had caught the car when Brainiac was wiping out all the computers in the world.
If the writers are trying to make viewers dislike her before possibly [spoiler] killing her off in the season finale [spoiler] then they are doing a good job on this viewer
