Chlois anvil?

[lastdaughterofkrypton]

I know that some of you might be sick of Chlois and would like it ot keep it in hs belonged and ever growing thread but since none of my fellows Chloisers has pointed this episode maybe they are oebying seven day rule so Ill post it here for now.
Clark knew Chloe was coming to Lana's bedroom how did he knew? He didn't focus on noises or her talking with other students.
Most Chloisers had stated the fact that Superman has memorized Lois heartbeat and pretty much knows where she is all the time so this was a Chlois anvil since out of nothing he knew Chloe was coming and he never knows that kind of stuff from other character not even Lana wich he followed trough her door opening and footsteeps so what do you think?

[MsSullivan]

Clark is in tune with the Chloe frequency!

[the_real_lois_lane]

i think he used the superhearing...they just didn't show the special fx they normally use. i wouldn't read too much into that. i think it was just showing clark's extreme paranoia, esp with lana standing there.
i don't think it was alluding to chloe being lois. it was the superhearing, IMO.

[MsSullivan]

i think it was, check out the scene in the mansion. Clark didn't automatically catch Lana's sobs, he listened for them. Now look at the Dorm scene, he wasn't paying attention yet he caught Chloe's breathe or steps or what ever he listen to that let him know chloe was coming.

This should be in the Chlois thread though.

[ma200]

Shouldn't this be discussed in the Chlois thread?

[F-Stop Blues]

Even if Chloe becomes Lois, why would clark be attuned to her heart beat now? That doesnt make any sense. Actually imo none of it makes sense but thats a different discussion.

[zagen]

this is way over thought. this is just an inconsistancy on the show that they didnt use some kind of fx for this. and tbh chloe will never become lois :)

imo your just searching for things to hang onto the whole chloe=lois theory :) (no offense ofcourse, anyone can believe what they want but i just dont see it)

[jaime,oburg]

I am one of those Chlarkers that would love to see the Chlois theory explored, but I think that Clark was just using his super hearing. I love the optimism though!

[FlashFan]

I'm not sure if it's a Chlois anvil, but I have to admit I have noticed how tptb are handling this particular situation.

Everytime Clark goes to use his hearing, he has to focus. In 4 episodes now, Clark was never focusing on hearing, but yet Chloe triggered, seemingly automatically.
Blank, Arrival, Thirst and now Splinter.
For Splinter, and I know this is an assumption, but I just assumed, Chloe probably said something like "Excuse me" or "thank you" (maybe someone held the door) you in the hallway.

Yeah I've noticed that too. Clark seems to be able to just hear Chloe even when he's not trying to. I'm not saying this means Chlois, but I think it's cool anyway. We haven't seen that with any other characters.

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

He heard her coming, that was obvious ;) At this point in time if he was attuned to anyone's heartbeat why would it be Chloe's? It would be Lana before anyone ;)

[BeldarofRemulak]

but how could he tell she was coming if she wasn't speaking..just walking...CHLOIS ANVIL..I hope!

[trusupagyrl]

I thought he was just using super hearing, but that is an interesting thought.

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

He has ears, he heard her. Maybe she talked to someone on the way to the room.

Honestly it makes no sense for him to be listening to her heartbeat. Sorry no Chlois anvil ;)

[BeldarofRemulak]

Who would she talk to? Maybe he had to sense her somehow

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Like I said he has ears. We don't know if she spoke or not. Someone could have talked to her in the hallway on the way to her room ;)

He turned his head when he was with Lana and listened, so it's obvious he heard her coming

No Chlois anvil cause Chlois doesn't exist(IMO) ;)

[BeldarofRemulak]

yet...;)

[Timester]

Maybe Pete is going to become Lois, since Clark was attuned to him in "Whisper". Or Chloe is going to become Jimmy with his supersonic watch... :rolleyes:

Clark is attuned to his friends and family (yes, even Lana, Jimmy and Perry). The difference between them and Lois is Clark is attuned also to Lois' heartbeat.

Yeah but since not one else posted it I though they were trying to obey the seven days rule. But one of the modes could close this if applys.
Anyway I think he just KNEW Chloe was coming why TPTB on purpose ommited the special effect just for Chloe when they were so clear when he went to find Lana.
For the antis telling that why he would memorize Chloe haertbeat even if she is Lois remeber that the new take about Lois and Clark is that they are soulmates so he wouldn't do this on purpose is a natural thing. ;)

In "L&C", Clark also knew when his parents, or even Perry or Jimmy was coming. Still trying to figure what you are trying to proof.

Just a thought, but paranoid people tend to be extremely hyper-vigilant about everything around them. A man with super senses would be even more so. He would be scanning with vision and hearing and would probably key in on any familiar sounds first. I can recognize people I work with by the sound of their footsteps as they approach my office for example just from the speed, cadence, and heaviness of their walk.

As for why they would use no visual effects I would imagine it could possibly be for two reasons. One, if he was indeed using both vision and hearing they couldn’t use both at once and two, as not everything is about Chloe, it could be simply for the benefit of Lana.

Lana was the one standing there when he stopped mid-conversation and announced Chloe’s arrival and then disappeared without a trace when she was distracted digging for her phone. Then Lana saw Chloe enter the room proving Clark right which obviously spooked Lana a great deal and made her suspicious.

By not switching to a visual effect they were able to add to that eerie atmosphere his announcement caused coming out of nowhere like that and added to the viewers’ believability of the shock and suspicion Lana felt when Chloe entered the room shortly thereafter.

I agree. Also with other times Clark has heard Chloe's voice is because of the fact that she called his name. It would make since that someone with superhearing would pick up when their name is called. Say you are in a crowd room and a lot of people are talking. You are not actively listening to what everyone else is saying but if someone calls your name you are gonna immediately pick up on that. In Blank, Arrival, and Thirst Chloe called out CLarks name. And even if she didnt, on LnC, Superman would always hear that someone was in trouble even when he wasnt actively listening in.

The seven day rule doesnt apply to the spoilers and spec forums. So you can post it in the chloe=lois thread.

[sstray72]

Chlois anvil or not, that was freaking cool. I loved how Clark just stopped talking and was like "she's coming... Chloe is coming!" Then he bolted and Chloe just showed up. I didn't realize that she was coming at that moment! And the look on Lana's face was priceless.

[Liriel]

It's interesting. But it's not an anvil. A hint, perhaps. But to be an anvil something must lack any degree of subtlety, and this doesn't.

And Chloe's voice was the very first voice he heard with super hearing in -- what was the name -- Whisper. He just picked up her conversation with Lionel out of nowhere.

Anyone's mind go to a naughty place when he said that? i was like "off screen again? damnit!"

[superman_115]

Okay, Clark has trusted Chloe with his secret and in that episode he was listening in on what Chloe, Martha, and Pa Kent was doing.

During his stage of being paranoid Clark could have focused in on the 3 to make sure he was being safe and not letting them close to him.

And why would have want to listen to Lana at the time. She was the one he went to for help and to trust.

I love their nicknames. In the comics she calls him "Smallville" and he calls her "Metropolis". Terms of endearment. :D :D :D :D

This next post refers to an email received from "Chloe Sullivan", signed as follows....

Just off hand...the Daily Planet's in Metropolis?

That tagline seems more like a location than a signature otherwise it wouldn't have her name at the top, wouldn't mention the DP at all and would be signed:

"-Metropolis"

rather than

"*Metropolis*"

in such a similiar way as "*/The Daily Planet/**"

[E^vol]

I know, but it could be a hint too....;)

[lastdaughterofkrypton]

I don't like the fact that said obituaries coudl this a hint of her death...I hope not :(

[Liriel]

I think it says Metroplis because that's where the DP is. I think it says Obituaries because we saw Chloe answering obituary questions in Exposed.

[Big Albowski]

This issue can be taken to the existing Chlois thread.... which is under the spoiler umbrella so 7 day rule does not apply. I would close thread but it is well under way.... but keep it ONLY about the episode "Splinter" or I will close it.
If it were still on first page I would most likely have closed it... in case someone is wondering why I didn't!

Yeah, like I said, if he's 'tuned to Chloe's frequency' than any other person in his life----that includes Lana----Chloe could be closer to him than everyone else (in theory).

Which considering the Jor-El warning of 'Hidden' episode...."someone close to you....someone you love" may concern me a little.:(

Yes, this does mean something.

Chloe Sullivan - the characters name

Obituaries and Classifieds - the department that Chloe was working in in the episode "Exposed" (remember she has to start at the bottom and work her way up)

The Daily Planet - the newspaper that Chloe is working at

Metropolis - where The Daily Planet is located

It was a signature from an email Chloe sent, so it would have her: name, job title, company name, and company location. This was no shout out to the future, it was a signature from the present, because Chloe is currently working at The Daily Planet. I'm sorry but the one theory I can't even begin to get behind is Chlois, it makes no sense in any context.

Maybe Clark's superhearing focused in on Chloe because he was thinking about her at that time. The same could be true in this episode. Clark was thinking about Chloe so his superhearing automatically focused in on her so he knew he had to get away.
