The Chloe/Davis fans react to last night's Smallville finale (spoilers):
"Good bye CRAPPYVILLE"
"I feel like puking. What a ****ing **** ending to the entire Chlavis arc."
"How could they finish the Chloe and Davis relationship that way?! How totally sucky! I'm really ticked! They had something going! Down with Chimmy!! ARGGHHHH!!! Some people are suspecting that Chole is pregnant, and I hope that if she is, it's Davis's kid!"
"I feel so cheated too. I was even about to say quit to it all and quit w/ the fics but that all I can do now is rely on those fics to show the awesomeness of what should have been Chlavis. Grrr. So please continue w/ your awesome fics. So please make this right at least we can have it in fics. And your a better writer then SV writers anyway."
"my Chlavis heart is sooooooo broken"
...and, the server crashed on the message board and that's as far as I got.
To add a recap & my commentary:
Basically they've been dragging out this romance between Chloe & "Doomsday" Davis all season. Then in this episode they finally separate out "evil" Doomsday from "good" Davis using black kryptonite (because you know in the DC world it all has to be color-coded), and Clark leaves Jimmy alone with Chloe and a (presumably) unconscious Davis. Jimmy broke up with Chloe over Davis, but now Chloe tells Jimmy that she's always loved him and was just using Davis to protect Clark. Davis, deeply hurt by Chloe's betrayal, jumps up and shoves a pipe through Jimmy's torso. Then Jimmy kills Davis.
And this is why, folks, Chloe is an ignorant slut. Jimmy totally pegged it when he broke up with her. She was lying to herself about her attraction to both Clark & Davis. She never took any responsibility for her feelings for Davis. And the moment Davis is no longer Mr. "Dark and Dangerous," she leaves him for Jimmy (you know, Jimmy -- the guy she tasered several episodes ago).
I mean literally, this is pretty much the exchange between Chloe & Jimmy:
"I was only using Davis to protect Clark; I never had any feelings for him."
"It all makes sense now. Kiss me."
Not to mention what a poor schmuck Jimmy is; that he's so pathetic and insecure he actually buys the horseshit Chloe is shoveling.
Jimmy has a big funeral, and Davis is presumably dumped in a hole somewhere. Davis is like Tara from BTVS – the new character that is used a lot for maximum emo effect but never quite fits into the Scooby Gang. Davis is used and thrown away by the Smallville writers pretty much the same way he's used and thrown away by Chloe & Clark.
It's later inferred that Chloe is pregnant, most probably with the baby of Davis. Because you know, she was so *compelled* to sleep with Davis and make the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice being sleeping with a really cute guy you've been making gaga eyes with all season.
The saddest part isn't about the deaths of Jimmy and Davis, but the path Chloe took from lame to cool to completely lame again. I mean, do the writers realize how lame they made Chloe in this scenario? Could they have at least had Clark shake her and yell at her or something?
Of course, this is the same show that has been putting bandages on a bald actor's head and calling him "Lex." Which is to say – in the end, it really doesn't matter, and the "Chlavis" fans will be devoting far too much time and care for a property that doesn't really deserve it.
I always kind of liked this show, but it always seemed like it was teetering on the brink of either being really cool or really awful. Every time it got crappy things would swing around the other way, but never really being the cool show I kept hoping for.
ReplyDeleteI'm w/o TV now, but I am hoping to catch up with DVD's on this past season sometime.
So, has anyone connected with this show ever been in the same zip code with a real, live, mentally stable, more or less rational woman? Didn't think so...
ReplyDeleteWait.
ReplyDeleteSo, the majority of the fanbase is upset that Jimmy Olson killed a murderer? His own murderer? They can overlook the fact that he was a psychopath who was most likely going to kill her after he killed her sort of husband because they were shipping?
That's so incredibly lame.
At least when I was called a Satan Worshipper for not liking the fact that angels were in Supernatural, it was because they missed the part where Eric Kripke stated that he would never put angels in Supernatural.

ReplyDeleteThose women actually exist?
