OMG. The iTunes store is my new best friend: I didn't know until now that you could get SV there. It is so worth paying two bucks to have caps without that fucking CW logo! The caps are a little grainy when sharpened, but still!

And there were so many cool little flashes in the episode that I didn't notice until I capped it, which made me love it more. Especially the "Vessel" scene. The kids running directly through the Planet basement doors! The Superman logo flashing across the top of the "Vessel" kiss (SO. FREAKING. EPIC).

You can see a stream of (non-Doomsday) Kryptonian symbols running across the screen when Clark gets erased, with the Superman logo featuring prominently (I am going to take a stab and guess it's the message from "Rosetta"? anyone know?) which fade away as the camera closes in on Chloe enveloped in the Doomsday symbol.

And when Chloe takes Davis' hand, the Doomsday symbol flashes on top of the Superman symbol, like it's blotting Clark out.

Also loved how they remembered only to show the kisses Chloe remembers, I'd kind of forgotten she only remembers the first, "Magnetic," and "Vessel." Chloe is getting screwed, memory-loss-wise, that's half she's forgotten...





"What's going on...? This isn't what happened."



"Okay, I know this looks a little weird."
"What's going on, Chloe?"
"Jimmy's right. I have been drawing a few blanks."
"A
few?!"
"Well, yeah, but I've just been kinda using this as... 'Chloe Sullivan's Crib Sheet.' And whenever I forget someone, like...my fiancee... I come here to remind myself of how we're connected."
"Listen to what you're saying. You've had to paste your entire life on these walls. There's something seriously wrong with you."
"I still remember you."



"The night that I saw you catch that car with your bare hands.... It changed my life. For the better. Clark, thanks to you, I've actually made an impact on the world. I wouldn't trade that for anything."



"Do you remember the name Kal-El?"
"...should I...?"
"What about Krypton? Or Brainiac?"
"Brainiac? Oh, people used to call me that when I was a kid! ...right...? What, I'm forgetting something important now! What don't I remember?! Look, Clark, this isn't gonna stop. I'm losing everything..."



"Got any advice for an MRI rookie?"
"It won't take long. You'd best better just close your eyes, and think of a place that makes you happy."



"I know you've been thinking about it all day. So I figured we'd just get it out of the way..."




"I can't lose you, Clark!"
"Chloe, I'll never leave you."





"Davis...?"
"Hey, Chloe."



"My memory's MIA."
"Then how could you know who I am?"
"I don't know! I just do! But you're the only one! It's like you've become my entire world!"
"Listen, Chloe, we should call your friends."
"No, no, no! I can't remember any of my friends! Davis, I don't trust anyone but you!"



(I lol'ed so hard here. Five years of nobody giving Chloe a second glance, and now that Lana's off the show, every guy in the room adores her more than anyone else. ABOUT DAMN TIME.)



"You've been the best friend and ally I could have had, Chloe. The truth is, you've saved me more than I ever could have saved you. I'm sorry to go back to hiding the truth from you. But the best way that I know how to protect you...is to let you go."



"I gotta get to Metropolis to drop off our check to the florist before they close."
"I'll make a run to the city for you."
"Are you kidding me? That's a good two hour trip, and you drive like an old lady."




"I heard you're not gonna be able to make it to my wedding. I'm really gonna miss you being there."
"Chloe, I lied. They don't need me at the hospital that day."
"Please tell me this isn't because of all the drama I put you through..."
"No. No. It's not you. You're...beautiful."



"There's some sort of connection between us, Chloe, and I know that you feel it, too."
"Okay, stop. Davis, this...this connection...it was never
this."
"I understand. But I am not ready to let you go. I will wait for as long as it takes. You know where to find me."



"Your son is destined to fail. Soon a new age will dawn on Earth. An age of power and strength. And the fall of the House of El. Doomsday is coming!"



In conclusion: mindrape is bad, Clark is a dumbass, Chloe is absolutely awesome and is going to kick Clark's ass when she finds out, I love these two more than Clark loves pie, and did I mention how EPIC this episode was? EPIIIIIC.

Also, I HEART JAMES MARSTERS' VOICE. EPIIIIIIC.

"Bride" promo: The wedding color scheme in the promos makes it pretty clear as to the Brainiac question. Like Chloe would stand for orange and yellow as her wedding colors if James Marsters weren't the one still driving. SO FUG. Her wedding dress is gorgeous, though!

"Jimmy was a jerk in the loft scene. Chloe was scared out of mind and he thinks that is the appropriate time to criticize her for forgetting him but remembering Clark. He is so unworthy of Chloe."

I HATE HATE HATE Chimmy. Just looking at those screencaps of the teaser puts me in a foul mood. I HATE how Chloe is in that relationship. No fight. No passion. Just a passive chick playing the "girlfriend" role. Thinking about it, I lose respect for Chloe faking being happy with Jimmy. She use to deal with problems, here she's lying to keep up the status quo. Bleh.

And that too big smile on the sofa? Who is this person? I hope to goodness that Brainiac is still in there partly driving the car, because Chloe looks like an idiot. She doesn't notice things still seem off? That her memories are whack? She doesn't consider what it means that she forgot her fiance but remembered Clark and Dooms even though the significance of it is pointed out to her twice! It doesn't give her pause before she makes the biggest commitment of her life? She looks stupid.

"I laughed at the scene of Chloe being surrounded by her suitors too."

Me, three. That was so surreal. This is the girl that no one asked to dance at her own prom when she was PROM QUEEN and now, 3 guys are nuts for her. SV has plenty of twists that's for sure.

You know what I realized with the caps is that we don't have a cap of Dooms/Chloe/Clark.

Dooms saw Chlark, but he was at a distance. The three of them haven't interacted at the same time yet. Clark hasn't seen how Davis is with Chloe. Davis talked about Chloe to Clark when they met and here they do again, but Chloe is off to the side with Jimmy.

No one has caught Dooms hitting on Chloe yet.

That is an excellent point. I was excited when Chloe, Davis, and Clark were in the same scene. Clark does not trust Davis with Chloe and is tone and demeanor made that pretty clear!
