Smallville and Supernatural: Arrow and Dead Things

[butterfly]

I am continuing to just have so much fun with Thursday night television! I adored Arrow. Lois was so! Eee! Lois-y. Her interaction with Oliver (and totally not clicking that he was the Green Arrow) was so perfect. I'm vastly amused that Lois and Clark were united in their strong dislike of Oliver's methods (though Lois didn't know that). And I loved Oliver giving us some set-up for Superman in the future. And Lana continues to be absolutely kick-ass. I simply adore her now.

So much fun!

First, Sam was stealing my heart for the first half of Children, but then Dean totally ripped it out of Sam's hands. "Things that are dead should stay dead." Oh, Dean.

That’s it, Clark and Lois have the same world view which is different from Oliver and Chloe’s. Clark and Lois struggle with the grey areas while ultimately wanting to push their actions to the white side of things while Chloe and Oliver embrace the grey area.

Indeed. And while I do like the Chloe's and Oliver's of the world, it doesn't generally work so well when they get into romances with the Clark's and Lois's.

All the more reason to not ship Chlark (and this articulates for me just exactly why I’ve felt that Chloe has never really understood Clark and why Clark never felt anything more than “friends” towards Chloe) but to ship Clois.

There is a side of Clark that Chloe doesn't share and vice versa. They really aren't well-matched.
