thoughts on SV & SPN

[retro_eidas]

• Kind of sad, but I called that being fake Chloe almost from the beginning. If for any reason she couldn't have possibly outrun Doomsday if he did turn on her. Superspeed and all that.
  
  
• Although I am suspicious the reason Clark didn't recognize her right away is because this Chloe - although the experience she described was traumatic - was telling him the version of the Chloe/Davis story he'd rather hear. That Chloe doesn't care for Davis like the denials he was clinging to last week, that she really wanted him dead. Which boy scout Clark was actually willing to go along with, right up until his conscience caught up with him.
  
  
• Ollie is hot when he's being all Green Arrowy and cunning, too bad he's such a dick this season. I almost feel sorry for the bastard though, he spent 10 billion dollars and his girl is cheating on him with a magic purple disco ball.
  
  
• Dr. Gaeta is such a Chlavis shipper, but then as is everyone else... apparently apart from Chloe.
  
  
• Although I love how all these people keep telling Clark that "Chloe may not realize how much she loves Davis", I'd wonder if Clark may really believe it too now (not just from what everyone is telling him and what Chloe's done, but watching her firsthand crying for him in "Eternal"). That apart from his conscience (that speaks in Chloe's voice), he realizes just how hurt Chloe would really be if he did kill Davis. Even if she herself would be in denial of it. That You Can't Do That On Television death scene in "Eternal" says a lot more than Chloe was or is willing to admit.
  
  
• Black Kryptonite. That does get my hopes up, but I'd bet dollars to donuts something goes terribly, terribly wrong. I do have my theories, but there's no telling how that would work on Dooms.
  
  
• Ollie actually confessed to killing Lex. Clark is so breaking up with him, but I'd wonder who gets the keys to the JL pad? Ollie has been pretty much funding the whole outfit, he going to keep chipping in for alimony even after the divorce?
  
  
• Tess is such a creepy zealot. She'd believe anything - even glowy magic purple disco balls - if they promised her sainthood. She's the "savior of Kandor"?
  
  
• Zod is going to be so pissed when he finds out his son has shacked up with a puny earthling. Although this just proves Chloe sexin' Davis will indeed save the world AND foil an evil overlord's plans. What a true heroine she is. ;)

*************************

• Bobby is still alive YAY!!!
  
  
• Cas is still in there somewhere, but "he can't." Well, why not? I'm relatively confident he will before the season is finally over, but he's killing me (and Dean it seems, "You're such a dick lately." See!! He's noticed Cas has lost that lovin feeling!) in the interim.
  
  
• Dean also reminded us of whatever it was Cas was planning to tell him last week, but couldn't/was prevented. I'm certain we'll find out what that was next week, but the angels most definitely didn't want Dean knowing about it. At least before they felt ready to tell him.
  
  
• I don't think Cas actually called Anna to him, but she just showed up to scold him... not realizing Cas had 24/7 surveillance following him around.
  
  
• However, Cas letting Sam go? Didn't see that one coming, although it makes sense. It's been hinted at for awhile Sam will indeed have a vital role to play in all this mess before the end and the angels know it. I'm also betting it was angels (possibly Cas himself, via "orders") that were sending Sam those hallucinations and the "fits", not the demon blood. Sam was jonzing pretty hard last week, but I don't remember him seeing any hallucinations at all and there were definitely no flinging across the wall by unseen forces.
  
  
• Big w00bie junkie Sam broke my heart in this ep. Good job from JPad there, I'm not at all reserved to give him his due. The scene with mommy? Who or whatever created those hallucinations (*cough*angels*cough*) knew where and how to hit him where it would hurt. The Dean hallucination, of course, being the hardest blow and saved for last, also disturbingly and purposely set-up to drive a deeper wedge between Sam and Dean.
  
  
• Not that it really needs saying either, but what the angels have planned? Can't possibly be any good and Tessa's words will indeed prove prophetic. It wouldn't shock me there is no screwing of pooches either, they're letting the seals break on purpose.
  
  
• That fight wasn't as brutal as I was expecting, but it was bad enough. Dean echoing John's words to Sam right at the end there. *sighs* It's also the first time Sam has struck Dean first and beat him in hand-to-hand.
  
  
• Perhaps this is just how my (faulty) brain works, but the more they tell-nee-scream at us "SAM IS A MONSTER!!!" the less I'm inclined to believe it and in fact more inclined to believe it will be Dean. Considering Dean has just made himself the angels' bitch and the angels are so far from trustworthy it ain't funny? Yeah, Dean's totally going to be the monster at the end of this season. I also think that's what Cas was intending to tell Dean before he was so rudely interrupted by heavenly Gitmo or whatever the hell happened to him.

Now excuse me while I try and fail to get that Zepp song out of my head.

Plus fake!Chloe's hint about possible rapiness, which would be Clark's worst fear rather than his hope, but which would have put the kibosh on any romantic feelings she might have felt for Davis.

Clark's fears and worry over her aside, the whole thing also struck me as incredibly condescending, the Must Save Tiny Blonde From Herself trait permeating in Clark and Oliver this season. Clark was all too willing to accept poor damsel-in-distress, sobbing Chloe into his arms... only for his bubble to be burst on Chloe really not running from Davis in tears and terror. As had she done it would have proven him right about the ne'er-do-well truly was in it only intending to defile her virtue (and/or get at him through those he loves, as it is always all about him, his guilt and manpain). The shapeshifter nailed it with the thing that would most easily influence Clark. I was almost sorry to see her go. She was like the embodiment of Clark's Neanderthal behavior.

Although, obviously Chloe had to run away with Davis and far far away from Clark so he wouldn't hear all the loud, screaming throes of ecstasy (and not once where "Clark!" is heard at any point in time). As apparently and understandably this was no problem at all with Chimmy.

And despite all of her suspiciously non-Chloe-like behavior, he clung to his denial right up until the very second the shapechanger died

Even despite the fact his conscience was calling him a douche and he acknowledged it spoke in Chloe's voice, yet this Chloe right in front of him is telling him the exact opposite. Come on, BDA!!

Seems clear enough to me, but Clark apparently needs a huge neon sign that says CHLOE LOVES YOU BOTH AND IT WILL KILL HER IF YOU KILL EACH OTHER.

I think he's finally starting to get that with at least trying the black k option. In fairness, I suppose I can't be too hard on Clark when Chloe herself is refusing to face the glaring truth everyone but herself is apparently figuring out, but still. I hope she figures it out in time to at least give Zod a hernia.

So much hate for this. On a better show, I'd think we were meant to see that The Big Strong Men are wrong, but this is SV.

Yeah, that girl was good. Normally I'd say that she should have pretended to be reluctantly but firmly resigned to the idea of Davis's death, but since being that OOC for Chloe didn't spoil the act for Clark — and quite possibly did the opposite — I salute her.

I will always love Dr. Gaeta for shipping Chloe/Davis. He seemed kind of gleeful to be bursting Clark's bubble of delusion — or at least trying to. Now someone just needs to burst Chloe's bubble of denial...

*sighs* I know you're right, but I'm clinging harder to denial than Clark at the moment, so I'm stupidly hoping both Clark and Oliver will get bitchslapped about that before the season is over.

However, the fact Tess would be a Magnificent Bitch if it weren't for her apparently worshiping and being manipulated by a magic glowing ball with disembodied godly male voice? It does put a damper on any futile hope my feminism being spared or (LOL!) vindicated in the finale.

She went for broke and he hadn't been remotely suspicious. How easily he can hear Chloe when she's crying for his help, but not so much when she and others are telling him she's done what she's done for him and Davis.

I will always love Dr. Gaeta for shipping Chloe/Davis. He seemed kind of gleeful to be bursting Clark's bubble of delusion — or at least trying to.

One of the few moments I liked Ollie last week was when he was pretty much doing the same. Although probably just like with Chloe...

Now someone just needs to burst Chloe's bubble of denial.

I'm sure Davis dying horribly will probably be enough to break through those ironclad, 2-ft thick walls of denial. *sighs*
