(Sigh) Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, my dear sweet, blonde fucking idiot, what am I gonna' do with you?
Ya know, i'm sure that Jeffrey Dahmer was a swell guy at times too but that doesn't make him any less of a nutcase deserving of purgatory.
Her reasoning for keeping Davis among us is flawed and just plain stupid. So because he's OCCASIONALLY a nice guy he should be allowed to remain free to kill!?
If I were Clark I wouldn't have felt the slightest pang of guilt about blasting him into the PZ forever and I would have been right for feeling that way.
Jimmy is beginning to scare me, he has this crazed Martin Riggs gleam in his eye that's very off putting.
I don't think that's quite her motive, as was clarified somewhat at the end of the episode. She has two worries... 1) That Clark will do something that will forever change him from who he is, and 2) That Doomsday can't be defeated, and trying to will unleash something terrible.
There were, of course, spots in the episode where it looked like she's genuinely fallen for him, but I take that as bad acting. I'm sorry to say that about our Smallville darling, but it's the only way I can make sense of the dialogue in the episode.
Clark had the perfect solution without killing Davis, he was going to send him into the Phantom Zone until Chloe inexplicably stopped him. The PZ was built to house Kryptonian criminals, something that Davis clearly is.
I took that to clearly mean that Chloe is willing to keep him here because of the few times he's normal, innocent people he has killed and will kill be damned.
She needs to realize that while Davis, the person, might be a decent guy he has to pay for what he's done and either be killed or sent into the PZ. I just think that she's making this whole thing more complicated than it needs to be...Davis is a bad guy from Krypton, bad guys from Krypton get sent to the PZ.
I thought Chloe's rationale was she told Clark he would not be able to live with himself if he sentenced Davis to the hellish nightmare of the Phantom Zone for all of eternity (or some such drivel.) Clark should have responded, "Yes, I can!" and stuck the damn crystal back into the thingamajig and sent Doomsday packing.
Exactly, Pitchman, first she tells Clark that he can't send Davis there because he'd get sucked in too, then she tells him that he can't kill him, and THEN she tells him that it would be wrong to send Davis to the PZ for the rest of his life.
Just what in the hell DID Chloe want Clark to do because she clearly couldn't make up her freakin' mind lol.
Chloe and Jimmy have become utterly worthless characters right now. Jimmy is no big deal because no one ever really gave a damn about his character within this particular show, but Chloe is downright painful to watch now because the writing for her has been atrocious. Stick to Clark, Lois, Oliver and Tess.... please. I'm at the point that I almost want Chloe to be killed off so we don't have to continue to see her story continuing to spiral down into this moronic abyss.
It's downright culturally insensitive for Chloe to try to guilt-trip Clark into not sending Davis into the Phantom Zone. That's the Kryptonian way, baby. You better respect!
This whole Chloe storyline is unsavory. I hope they wrap it up soon and don't leave it dangling in the season finale. I hope they do it in such a way that she isn't destroyed forever, because her "I'm calming the savage beast!" excuse isn't cutting it.
They should have been more specific about who Gaeta was, for those of us not up on our Justice League lore. He's Dr. Emil Hamilton, who has apparently been around since 1987.
Edit: Reading up, he's already appeared before. I didn't remember.
I've lost interest in the show. I won't bother to watch unless I read about something interesting happening. This whole Chloe-Davis-Jimmy storyline is dull dull dull.
Joe Morton (I) Also, Joe Morton, from Eureka and T2: Judgement Day, played Dr. STEVEN Hamilton, in 4 Smallville episodes in the first couple of seasons. At the time, I figured that was Smallville's version of Dr. Hamilton, but it seems the writers completely forgot about him.
Kind of like nobody seems to notice that Jimmy Olson looks just like Eric Summers.
Well, not much more to go in the season - just two more episodes it seems. The redemption of Jimmy's character appears to have started with this episode. Chloe was painful to watch. The Phantom Zone solution looked to be almost perfect, though it really would have just postponed things until Doomsday found a way out via some plothole in the future. Now it seems that in the finale Davis will somehow get out of control and rampage halfway across the country until he and Clark get together and destroy most of Metropolis?
The show is coming back next year, so if that happenes he'll get resurrected on the show not the comics.
I doubt that'll happen, though, if it was Clark's destiny to become Superman only after being killed it would have happened already, Clark has died on a couple occasions so far and he's still plain ol' Clark.
If it does happen and Doomsday kills him, Chloe will and should be ravaged with guilt, if she hadn't of been so dumb and stopped Clark from ejecting Davis into the PZ he wouldn't have been around to kill Clark.
FOX's Fringe has a fast-forwarding cue giving the commercial time length. In a similar vein Smallville has a Chloe-Doomsday fast-forwarding cue. So refreshing!
