I thought that Chloe was spunky and really liked her in S1. She lost me during S2 with the while “pissy because he let me break up with him” attitude and lost me even more when she turned to Lionel — and yes, it was over watching Clark and Lana kiss.
S1 Chloe was a lot of fun. Bouncy and eager and not, you know, an insane protype of 'woman scorned' which made no sense, as she wasn't at all scorned. Chloe, baby, Clark can't read your mind. He's a teenage boy. Not being a pushy asshole, he's going to assume that you mean it when you say you aren't interested, especially if he's been at all worried about losing your friendship.
I was willing to try to forgive her but she lost me again when she tried to renege on her deal with Lionel while trying to keep her column at the Daily Planet and lost me even more when she didn’t own up to what she did with her, “It was a moment of weakness, you of all people should understand!” statement to Clark.
Chloe tries to have it both ways a lot of the time. She doesn't want to be the one pushing in the relationship with Clark, so she tries to make him chase her. She doesn't want to work for Lionel anymore, but she doesn't want to lose the perks she got because of him. And, yeah, with you on the 'not owning' thing.
And then there are the issues I have with her hint dropping because if the reveal really were about Clark’s needs, she’d let Clark reveal on his own instead of forcing his hand to fit her needs on her schedule.
Oh, god, yes. I just watched an episode where Clark was worried about leaving his parents alone on the farm and she was all, yeah, I can see where they'd miss your skills, all wink-wink, nudge-nudge, and Clark's poor, baffled, and scared reaction made me mad at her. Clark is very clearly not ready to talk about it, but Chloe can't help pushing.
And let’s not get into Exposed. The future Superman shouldn’t have to marry the woman who was so petty she betrayed his safety for a newspaper column she didn’t deserve.
I have only seen the Lois bits of Exposed so far (which I thought were spectacular), but now I'm curious about Chloe's role in the episode, which I just thought involved making Lois do all the hard work.
But Exposed just made me boil over with how very anti-Lois Lane she was. (BTW: If you don’t want your blood pressure to rise, don’t read the Exposed thread on TWoP. The feminist in me was fuming in anger with the comments on the episode posted.)
Yeah, I think I'll pass on that one. I loved the Lois bits I saw (Don't Cha Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me, indeed -- plus not backing down to the cop or to the evil diplomat guy, her only needing Clark for the superhuman bits of the rescue instead of all of it, and her just... overall kickass-ness), and I can imagine some of what they would have said about all the stuff I enjoyed so much.
I like Chloe, but only when she’s not doing journalism things or pining over Clark. With Jimmy in the picture, that hopefully takes care of her crush on Clark. As for the journalism, I have so many many issues with that and Exposed and the Chloe Chronicles highlighted just what a bad journalist she is. But I guess I’ll just have to live with it if I’m gonna watch the show. :-x
Yeah, I've never gotten the impression that Chloe's all that good a journalist. She's passionate about it, but about just the kind of journalism that I'm not all that happy about. Chloe does the kind of journalism that most journalists today do, where it's all about sensationalism. Lois looks like she's going to be a journalist who focus more on social justice and on letting the people know the things that they deserve to know. The fourth estate, not junk journalism.
