Did anyone notice the sparks between the two of them? The banter... the making fun of the bow tie.... Is this going to be her new love interest? I kind of hope not, I feel like it will sort of debase her character... he is her boss...

I havn't even watched the episode and I already hate the guy.

But think of it this way. AlMiles have had Lois date super heroes as a way to foreshadow her future relationship with Superman

Maybe this is AlMiles way of giving her a relationship that foreshadows the future Lane and Kent.

From what ED said in one of her interviews, she sees him as more of a mentor. Someone she can look up to and admire enough to want to be good at what she does.

oh good. I'm all for more sexiness on Smallville (where did those scenes like the ones with Alica go) but I think there could be better places to get it from than your boss. That would make Lois a really bad female role model, and lest face it, these days we have enough bad female role models around to sink the titanic. Smallville's been fairly good in that regard so far I think, no need to go downhill.

She also said she's hooking up with the boss because she wants the job

I'm pretty sure that was meant as a joke. She seemed very sarcastic when she said it.

Acording to what I have been told, she gets the job because the editor overhears her talking to Chloe about Kara's ship. He first thinks she works there, and after finding out she doesn't, he says that if she writes a story about the ship, she would get hired. After she failed to have the pics as proof (Kara destroys her evidence), he hires her the same, but can't publish her story because she doesn't have the evidence.

So, it was obvious by what actually happens in the episode that Erica Durance was joking when she said that, because Lois does not hooks up with the editor in this episode at all.

if she hooks up with him later... it would mean he had ulterior motives in hiring her...

Hooking up with the boss is exactly what it has always been, a way for a woman to gain something considerably different than sex. It is a business move.

More luv to lois now! (with the boss)

We should wait to see how it plays out, but, still, as I said before, she didn't hook up with him to get the job as everyone was saying, so, consequentely, Erica Durance was joking when she said that. ;)

He's under the impression that Chloe has lost her spark.

Lois suggested that Chloe do the UFO story because she said Chloe was the better reporter. And Grant's reply was "she was good once but she's lost it..."

I know. What a jerk.

Actually, I heard that she goes to the editor and says that Chloe is the one who should write the story, because she is the best reporter. She was willing to pass the opportunity of being hired by the DP, in order to leave room for Chloe to impress her editor.

It's also sad that this damn episode couldn't air tonight in the states. As it is, I won't be able to watch it until very late tomorrow night because of the Yankees playoff game.

I'm glad to hear that Lois makes the suggestion that Chloe does the story to help her out. There's no doubt in my mind that this will be spun around and used against her, but it's still nice to hear.

I've seen the episode (a Canuck here) and I have to say the editor was not being a jerk about it as many people are speculating who have not seen it. He would have all of Chloe's past work to look at to know that she's "lost her spark" and actually he mentions the kind of work she's been doing at the DP and he knew that she was the editor of the torch, so it was an informed criticism of Chloe, not an arbitrary one. I was more wondering where he got the "Lois will make a great reporter from" because from what I saw he just overheard the one conversation between her and Lois that he walked in on... but maybe it was more of an instinctual thing or something. Anyhow, don't knock the editor, he was non jerky and cute.

I think Grant did a little background check on Chloe and possibly other employees of the Daily Planet, because when chloe introduced herself by saying "hi im Chloe" Grant finished her sentance by replying "anne Sullivan" and than started talking about Chloe working for the Smallville torch, taking classes at MetU at night, and how she writes filler stories sandwiched between sofa ads by day

yes exactly, thats how I felt, like he was just a well written character. The editor of the biggest newspaper on the continent would have to have a somewhat ballsy personality. Those are the people who get to the top. He wasn't trying to beat on Chloe, he was just doing his job with the best interests of his newspaper in mind.

To me, it looked like he only offered to give her a job because he thinks she's goodlooking.

First, he says if she writes the article, she'll be a writer for the paper.
Then, he says her article is terrible and won't publish it, but she's a writer for the paper anyway. And will probably make it higher than Chloe in no time.

I think the whole "Chloe has no drive" thing was cheap.. I really hope that rumour about "Lois works her way up the Daily Planet by sex" isn't true..

I agree the whole way this guy chooses to pick Lois over chloe is looks kinda cheap...on the editors part..

BUT well that is actually kinda funny...because in thirst Kahn also bashed chloe's first article even though she had interviews eye witness accounts and everything...and chloes article never got published either! thats funny. :lol:

But here's the difference... Lois didn't have any proof...

Chloe had proof... the CDC reports, Eye-witness accounts, police reports...


One is an Article without back up the other is...

Grant did not say that lois wrote a terrible story
his said "it's ridiculous....... it's absurd how good it is, your pro's leaps off the page like a bangle tiger, I was riveted"

sounds like a compliment to me.

Grant wouldn't publish the story because Lois had no proof. He told her to always carry a back up camera.

For those that saw the episode,in your opinion, did Grant say those things to Chloe because either 1) he thinks she really sucks or 2) he's trying to re-ignite the fire under her butt? In your opinion did it seem like Grant even wanted Chloe to be working at the Daily Planet.

How was the Chlo-Lo? How did Chloe react? I've read where Chloe appears to be a "witch" towards Lois. Apparently Chloe's trying to keep Lois away from the spaceship (obvious reasons imo) and also a scene where Grant thinks Lois is working for the Planet and Chloe interjects and says that she (Chloe)is the one that works there. What was your opinion of these and other Chlo-Lo scenes. Is Chloe jealous,sad etc? Did the scenes show the Chlo-Lo bond being back? Hope so.

I need to watch the context and scene myself... cause it could be possible he said those things... like ridiculous and absurd and then finished it off as a praise for a reason like, it sucked but he wants her to be in his place of work so he says he loves it... and gives her the job... I dunno...

Nope, as long as its not job related. It wouldnt be the first time two people who work together happen to fall in love, regardless of their corporate status. What so the Nanny Fine didnt love Mr sheffield and just shaged him to get a job she already had???

I havent personaly gone through that, but for example my Microeconomics teacher (I had class with her today) married the career coordinator, so that means he is her boss, they met in my school a couple of years back, since then they have been dating and finally got married about 6 months ago, forgive me if I dont see how that would be bad for her.

Being attracted to someone isnt exactly something any of us can controll and if it so happens he/she is your subordinate, then what can we do. Lois didnt get the job by seducing him so she is off the hook, you know I like you but I know you would love it if Lois had gotten it diferently and that ED hadnt been joking but as of now, Lois was hired with out having to date or flirt with the Editor, sorry if you wanted something diferent but things are what they are bella.

ETA: what amazes me the most is that even after its been proven otherwise and Lois actually stood up to the editor (after Chloe´s petty jealousy "she doesnt work here, I do") and told him that he should have Chloe write the article and you still dont give her a break, why do you hate Lois so much, you simply dont give her a break :\

So in your opinion TPTB are still messing up the cousins bond? What about any other Chloe/Lois scenes, what were they like? Shoot,I thought I read somewhere that both Chloe and Lois stood up for each other wrt Grant.

IMO a relationship isn't messed up as long there's at least one person honestly making it work. Lois has always looked after Chloe and put her first before anything else, and that's good enough for me. And despite her jealous tendencies towards her cousin, for me it's much easier to believe that Chloe does indeed love Lois compared to Lana.

Just like Lois' relationship with Oliver, it has all the same problems with Clana, all the same secrets and lies but because Lois' approach and how she handles the situation is different from Lana, in my books Lollie isn't messed up at all. In fact, it's one of the most mature relationships I've seen on TV.

I HOPE if she hooks up with him, it's not to move up from the basement.

I'm pretty sure the spoiler I read was "Lois hooks up with the editor to get a job at the Daily Planet".
She has a job, yes, but it's a crappy one. I don't want her sleeping with him to get a promotion.

Either way she already has the job, the spoiler should have read Lois hooks up with the editor TO MOVE UP in the DP.

Besided that spoiler does not exist. There was a spoiler that Lois would hook up with the editor (it never said anything about getting a job), and then ED joked in an interview and sarcastically (although some people missed her sarcasm) said that Lois would hook up with the editor to get the job. As is turns out ED was joking and Lois already got the job and she did not need to hook up with anyone.

Erica has been reluctant to say how much of an interest Lois takes in him. From her comments it sounds more like an admiration and perhaps a bit of a physical attraction. Her apprehension makes it sound like this "possible love interest" is gonna be very short lived. As everyone knows, just attraction alone does not build a lasting relationship (like the solid one that Lois and Clark are slowly building). As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day". Something truely magnificent always takes time to form.

How is this not clear??

It was obviously a joke since IT DIDNT HAPPEN. She already got the job with out having to hook up with the editor.

But if you want you can check the spoiler section the interview might be there, ED laughs rolls her eyes and say´s "of course she is doing it to get the job".

But again, IT DIDNT HAPPEN, so any discussion is mute. If she hooks up with him now, it still wouldnt aply since SHE ALREADY GOT THE JOB anything that happens later on is a diferent story, but as of now Lois got the job without having to hook up with him.

And there was never a spoiler saying she would, only her interview, where, as we have learned now, she was joking. I know this cause it didnt happen.

Actually Clois does last for ever, so tecnically more than rome, in comics we learn that after Lois dies and the world no longer needs superman he goes off into the sun gains unimaginable powers from the 5th dimension and he revives Lois with a piece of her DNA as immortal beings.

Also as a CHloiser I would think you´d cheer on Clois, cause if your theory is true then Chlark is Clois. Or are you already giving up on the theory... I hope so:p

She could still "hook up" with him to move up in the Daily Planet. To me "get the job" means more than just the original job. "THE" job may be first page reporter or something, you know.

No need to get so upset. I'm saying I hope this doesn't happen.

I'm happy that Lois got her spot at the Planet but why is the editor so hard on Chloe - he doesn't know her all that well. Makes me mad - Chloe works her butt off and the new editor is just a spaz.....

I hope it evens out a bit because it's gonna get really annoying if the new editor is always talking that badly to Chloe.

My theory, Grant is a plant and has an agenda to hold Chloe back. If anyone has any knowledge of how to take Chloe down it's to use her self esteem against her. If someone wants her out of the planet plant little seeds of doubt make her question herself. It's icing on the cake to put Lois in front of her to let her see evidence of her "lack of passion".

I know there are those that will think this is an anti Lois post, but it really doesn't have anything to do with Lois. Seems like Grant knew nothing of Lois history with the Inquisitor and whether or not she was a good journalist so why was he so gung ho on offering her a job. I don't believe for a minute it was her story. Even more curious is if he really thought that Chloe lost her mojo why would he know so much about a lowly reporter with no future. I'm sure he has many more important employees to concern himself with. He knew too much about her to be convincing that he really thought she wasn't worth his time.

You don't have to agree, but it's my thoughts.

^^^^ That's an interesting take on it, ChlarkMe...I never thought of it that way. Besides, when Lois entered his office, he said Chloe lost her passion. How would he know that unless he read her previous work before Lois even came to Smallville? He had to know. Also, right before he tore her down, when he got done reading Lois' story, I thought I heard Chloe mumble that she wrote it??? Am I hearing things?

No offense, but it seems pretty obvious that you've never worked or managed people in an office or cooperate situation. Any new Manager worth his or her salt always finds out whatever they can about the people who will be working under him or her and/or immediately reporting to him or her.

All Grant probably had to do was read Chloe's Personnel File (which all new Managers do for the people that will be working for them) - it would have all the info about her that he needed . . . the articles she probably submitted that got her hired at the DP and a record of the work she'd done there since she got hired.

There's no plot to hold Chloe back. Chloe's been holding *herself* back, and a simple read-over of her Personnel File would've shown Grant what he knew . . . what she was once capable of and what she isn't doing *now*.

I enjoy the Chlark friendship and i think it's ok that some people think that they would be a cute couple, but... if they aren't it's not Lois's fault. She isn't trying to hook up with Clark or something like that. I find anoying that some Chloe's fans hate Lois so much just for being "future Clark's wife". There just one person in "Smallville" who totally loves Chloe Sullivan and always has her as her number one, and that person is Lois. I mean, their fans should be friends :( they are family and care about each other.

Eta: well... i'm wrong, in fact there are two people who totally have Chloe as her number one... Lois and Jimmy (for now).

This actually reminds me of all those "Chloe holds Clark back!" "Lana holds Clark back!" when the truth is it's Clark himself who's holding himself back.

I didn't mind the dynamic between Lois and the editor in this episode, but I think it would be a horrendous idea to allow the situation to turn romantic. For one thing, its not really very professional or prudent to get involved with your boss and the guy that hired you mere weeks/months after you've been hired. Secondly, Ed/MC just do not work as a couple for me at all. I think MC is a decent actor, but horribly miscast here. He looks too young for the role, and frankly, too young for ED (and I mean no offense to ED. MC looks about 15 years old!!). Also, he's very slight in his build, and ED just looks too physically imposing for him. JMHO

Um... I didn't really see any romantic sparks between Lois and the editor. I did see him challenging her... that's an easy way to reel Lois in, dare her or suggest that she's not up to the challenge. So far... I'm liking their relationship as it is. He's looking for new blood to shake up the planet, he sees enthusiasm in Lois and likes her writing. He probably didn't miss that Chloe is... taken aback to say the least. So he seizes that opportunity to put them side by side and pit them against each other. I hope the Chlo-Lo rivalry is fun and exciting.

As far as romance goes... I'm sick of Lois having boyfriends. Lay off for a while. Maybe after the midway point of the season... but as her boss... yeah... hands off... but if they do it... Later please. *sigh*

the way it looked he was never giving chloe a chance whenever chloe was trying to make a statement or fact about something grant would twist things around

for example she said the DP didnt run a certain way and they wouldnt publish certain things, grant stepped in to twist it around and embarrass chloe

and when chloe said the spaceship story wouldnt go anywere grant also embarrassed chloe

grant wants lois, lois was prepared to walk away from the DP when she got into the elevator and hadnt it been for grant commenting on how lois's live would turn out if she didnt take his offer, so its not lois whos into grant its grant thats into lois and hes embarrassing chloe along the way

then to add salt into the wounds grant gave lois who didnt deserve the table a seat near the door bascially saying chloe had no chance of promotion but lois did

Totally agree. If anything, what I saw between Grant and Lois is that they both admired each other. Lois admired Grant for pushing her to the next level and believing that she could do it and Grant admired Lois because he believed that she has the potential to be a great reporter, something that he doesn't see at the moment from other reporters currently at the DP.

Lois admired Grant for pushing her to the next level and believing that she could do it and Grant admired Lois because he believed that she has the potential to be a great reporter, something that he doesn't see at the moment from other reporters currently at the DP. Grant was mainly concerned with "baiting" Lois, and taunting her about being married to an insurance salesman with 4 kids and 40 extra pounds, and accusing her of only pretending to not want to write the story because in fact she really can't handle it :lol: It was anything BUT romantic :lol:

That's just one perspective. I think what Grant said was used to push Lois further down her path to becoming a star reporter.

I kept an article from the June 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly that said the producers were looking for someone "extremely hot" to play the new editor and that he was to be an love interest for Lois. I would have repeated the article here word for word, but I didn't know whether that would violate any rules. But that was the jist of it. I do agree that he did seem pretty young to be the editor. I also didn't like the way he treated Chloe. It looks like there might be some tension coming up between Lois and Chole. I hope I'm wrong on this. But we have also have to face the fact that Lois WILL be the star reporter at the Planet. And as much as I love Chloe, she was a character specifically created for the series. She didn't exist in the comics or movies. I do hope that the writers will eventually end her time on Smallville on a positive note. One more thought: When will Clark start taking up journalism again? Remember the episode where he had to write a 5-page article for the H.S. principal about where he'll be in 5 years? At the end, he said that he would probably be a journalist because it was growing on him. Maybe those aren't the exact words he said, but that was the jist of it.

I was just reacting to comments that Grants interaction with Lois was largely romantic or that he was coming on to her, which was not the case at all. In fact, most of the time, he was baiting and taunting her all the time :/ I hope that made more sense...

Grant is loud, bracing and obnoxious. He's arrogant and annoying.

But you know what? He's apparently damn good at his job, or he wouldn't have been heading out to that awards dinner honoring him.

I don't think he's evil in the least. Bit of a douchbag? Sure. He pretty much baited Lois with the 4 kinds and 40 pounds comment. He probably figured it might push her buttons. But none of that makes him evil - just not a very nice person.

I hope GG won't be interested romantically in Lois. It wouldn't look good for Lois and her work at DP.

Which is stupid as heck. Yes! Every girl that steps into the DP is either gonna be a star reporter for said newspaper or get married to some deadbeat! One or the other Lois, choose now or forever hold your peace.

Actually there are gonna be new comics coming out with Chloe in them, so that isn't gonna be a valid argument for long. She'll be real canon soon.

I really hate Grant Gabriel right now. It seems to me that the only reason he's pushing Lois to work for the Daily Planet is to get laid.

More luv to lois now! (with the boss)

ACTUALLY... *is amused* girls sexually harass boys more than boys harass girls in the work place.

I agree. Not a lot of chemistry to me... I think that Lois doesn't need a mentor, just better overall writing for the WHOLE SHOW. C'mon- clones that pop out of nowhere? Thanks a lot writers!!!

If they'd just handled this better from the beginning... but of course they don't. Lois was very OOC in this ep, and I didn't like it.

Lois (in character) would have done this:
- Never like a barn falling or spaceship story because a few years ago she mocked Chloe for it... BUT she would like the GA story
- Go for gangs/crimes/politics and military [superheroes]
- Yelled at Grant and been annoyed more
- Different response to Clark leaving (And Clark wouldn't have gone with her...)

She would have probably told Grant to 'go away' in character :(
