SO HEY GUYS YOU KNOW MY ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND?
IT TURNS OUT HE REALLY LOVES ME DEEP DOWN AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH OUR ISSUES AND HE CLAIMS TO SEE THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS AND TO HAVE GAINED AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHY KICKING ME IN THE STOMACH IS WRONG! I'VE AGREED TO TRY TO REMAIN SOBER IN HIS PRESENCE!
SO THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET A CAT TOGETHER.
YEAH, YOU HEARD ME. I'M GETTING A CAT WITH SMALLVILLE.
I KNOW. IT'S CRAZY. TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW UNSTABLE OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS THE LAST SHOW I EVER THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A CAT WITH. IF YOU TOLD ME A WHEDON SHOW WOULD BE ON THE AIR AND I WOULD BE WANTING TO GET A CAT WITH FUCKING SMALLVILLE INSTEAD, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE FULL OF SHIT.
BUT I REALLY FEEL WE'RE COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER NOW.
I SENSE A FUTURE FOR US.
LIFE'S JUST FUCKING CRAZY SOMETIMES.
I LOVE that Chloe's bed-hair is perfectly curled in her dream sequence. Obviously it's for meta reasons (see: bottom of this post) but who doesn't dream that their hair could be perfectly styled at all times?
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE IS AMAZING OKAY
"Chloe, we met in a flurry of smoking ash, burnt-out cars, people freaking out. But for a moment there, I felt like everything disappeared except us. Those feelings haven't changed."
Smoking ash, burnt-out cars, people freaking out, everything disappearing except them, unchanging feelings? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK...
Basically, just imagine everything Davis says in this sequence with Clark saying it instead.
"Without you, the man I want to be doesn't exist."
Yeah.
J! IS FOR JIMMY!
J! IS FOR JUNKIE!
I'LL KILL YOUR FUCKING DOG FOR FUN SO DON'T PUSH ME!!!
DOCTOR GAETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Weird fact: I had a huge crush on JH when he was on Passions. Then he came to SV and I realized, as it wasn't evident on Passions (since...it was Passions), that he can not act except with his abs (which put in powerful performances omg).
I totally find him charming as hell in interviews, but Ollie does nothing for me?! Except JH has a super pretty neck. NEEEEEECK!
I LOVE YOU, DOCTOR GAETA. "Frankly, I don't want him anywhere near me." HEE.
CLARK'S SMILE = MY HEEEEEEEARRRRRRT.
I started laughing so hard in this scene. SW was hilarious. I loved Davis shooting Ollie that, "Do you MIND? I'm on the PHONE! God! How are you so RUDE?" look when Ollie screamed at Chloe.
Also, when Ollie was all condescending telling him Chloe was on her way, and Davis said, "Oooh, I hope so! I really do! Because if she's not, the only way I can control myself is if I kill one of you!" And then started taking those exaggerated deep breaths?
HILARIOUS.
HOT.
Whenever there's a gratuitous ass shot, I'll be there to cap it.
I think the job is legit since it has an office, but I did get the vibe of this leading up to Jimmy possibly becoming Watchtower next year. It would certainly explain why the writers found the question about an Ollie/Watchtower hookup to be fucking hilarious.
Either way, I think Jimmy's headed towards being a secret-keeper, which will put us in S9 at everyone knowing the secret. I think that could be pretty fun for a change, to have everyone united under one front in the main cast (save Tess, who is just fucking crazy...in an awesome way!).
WARNING: THIS IS WHERE THE PICSPAM GETS GRATUITOUS
YES, ALL OF THESE WERE NECESSARY
EVERY JAW-CLENCH AND FOREHEAD-CREASE AND OMG CLARK IS HAVING FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIIINGS!
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!
If you don't ship it now, I don't know what to do with you. ARE YOU DEAD INSIDE?
I cannot stop flailing. When he said, "Chloe, you're wrong...!" and then you could tell the feelings were all THERE. He was having the FEELINGS.
But he's confused and doesn't know how to put them into words, so he just sort of desperately repeated, "You're wrong!" for want of not knowing what to say. Because he doesn't know how to EXPRESS HIMSELF. BECAUSE IT'S CHLOE.
I've been waiting for this for years.
It didn't disappoint.
IS IT NEXT WEEK YET?!!
AND FOR FUNSIES:
(OMG THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE YELLOW WARDROBE LATELY???!!!!!! DUH.)
Behind Chloe on the stairs: "Lobo's Road Trip: It's All Downhill From Here!"
Then behind them, also from Eternal: "Casa Bronte: A Love Story." Except Davis is the crazy wife in the attic and Chloe is Mr. Rochester...and Clark is Jane!
And underneath: "Zytron: The Clock Is Ticking. The Last Day Is Today." Or, DOOMSDAY IS COMING.
SO THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET A CAT TOGETHER.
YEAH, YOU HEARD ME. I'M GETTING A CAT WITH SMALLVILLE.

Ollie = SV Batman, I'm not really holding my breath for anything regarding Bruce ever. I think Ollie's arc hinges a lot on the finale and how events affect him, so I think it's possible for him to turn around still. The way he's pushing Clark so hard to fight Dooms now is going to be giving him major guilt trip when Clark dies (again, a la Odyssey).
It all has to come from Clark's end at this point, so I think that's about right. If the JLA is at the center next year, I think Clark needs to be gung-ho about it. Ollie might step down his involvement after Clark's death and have a crisis over his leadership skills, while Clark will step up more.
It's hard to get a read on Chloe's arc since we know so little. But whether it's Watchtower, solving Nois' murder, or going back to the DP (or a mix of all three at once) her MO is generally to throw herself into work when she's unraveling. I could see them working up a parallel for her next year compared with Clark's tendency towards obsession, and this time he'll be the one working to balance her out.
idk about Clark, though, because they said he'd be in a dark place. I was really hoping we'd be finding some joy again next year. I'm hoping they don't mean all of next season and are talking about just the first few episodes. Since initially we'll be dealing with so much death fallout I guess that makes sense.

Oh, it's completely embarassing to watch. Still, I like the idea that Lex is out there. *hums the X-Files theme*
he way he's pushing Clark so hard to fight Dooms now is going to be giving him major guilt trip when Clark dies (again, a la Odyssey).
This is true. Honestly I kinda know we'll never have Bruce/Batman because the WB film division will never allow it, but I do know it's the writer's pipe dream so I can't help but go "hmm."

Yes, the next season needs to be happier, I think. And I'm guessing he's going to have guilt for letting Nois die, and guilt for dying, and such. But I definitely have to wonder if by Doomsday we have almost a case of right timing thwarted by Doomsday. And yeah, we've got two kind of obsessive-when-hurt people, so I don't know how they aren't going to come back all gangbusters.
Granted if they kind of unite as partners over Nois' grave, maybe the only issue will be the ~romance~ that's slow to come back, and we get them being truly bff again. Which in the short term, could work for me.
