Killing off Jimmy was a mistake - we were robbed of two seasons of wacky "Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Pal" style stories, where Jimmy gets the random superpowers or is transformed into something for an episode. The show was already doing that kind of story every so often, but Jimmy is the ideal target for them.

This Jimmy Olsen isn't generally light-hearted and easy-going like the comics' Jimmy - That's why it aids in it making sense that he isn't the comic book character.

What is truly heartbreaking is that Davis' first kill was Linda Lake (Tori Spelling) in Infamous (S8E15), up until that point he was self medicating to control the beast, and in that episode he finds that killing calms it down, but as you well point ou it takes a toll on your soul. So, when Clark went public for the first time, and it went horribly, he went back in time and didn't reveal his secret to the world, changing Linda's and Davis destiny, which inadvertedly sets off Jimmy's death, because the killer had been unleashed. It's a subtle nod to season five when Jor-El warns Clark that changing time ALWAYS has consecuences (not orchestrated by him).

I really feel that you don't fully understand Superman's never kill stance. It really came into being post crisis when after being shunted into a pocket dimension that Zod terrorized, Superman had to depower and ultimately kill Zod. This traumatized him so much that this is where his no kill stance started. In the early 2000s there was a story in the comics where general zod of pokolistan found out about this and chose the name Zod to mess with his head. I think that having his no kill rule without that background takes a lot of the wind from his sails.

I watched every single episode of Smallville when they first aired and the best person on the show wasn't Clark(we knew where he was going), not Ma & Pa Kent(loved who they picked to play them, btw), certainly not Lex(good pick for younger version of him, though he should've kept the Red Hair imho), it was "Beautiful" Chloe Sullivan that interested me the most.

I also grew up in this, and when then a few years ago i binged it all again. 8 is weird, and i think its where the show officially jumped the shark. 6 and 7 were kind of filler, but they had enough going on to justify its existence. Through 8, i could see the writers just trying to tread water until he was superman. His most iconic villain was dead, he's already got a romance with Lois, he's in Metropolis, and he's becoming a more public hero. Then he fights his most dangerous enemy from his most iconic story, just to have another (albiet better) season doing more of the same until he can be Superman. This season feels like it was done out of obligation, not love for Superman

Okay looking back I have noticed how whenever Chloe crosses the very inappropriate line, Clark gets mad but she starts crying and turns the table on him which makes him feel guilty and he ends up forgiving and forgetting what she did. But when his pal Pete Ross (an actual character of Superman) does something bad, Clark is mad at him and doesn't speak to him. I saw that as discriminating. The writers made Chloe strong enough to keep Clark's secret but not Pete, NOPE they made him weak and got him out of town. I also noticed how people seem to come to her for the dumbest of requests: research. People can do their own research if they have a computer, phone, or iPad. But they still come to her. I then saw a scene on The Dark Knight Rises and Lucius Fox got the same setup as Chloe's Watchtower and he said "This is too much power" he gave that up fast. Chloe took it because she loved it, it's what she has always wanted since she could remember. I bet she didn't want to lose that meteor power of making people tell the truth, especially when she was racing to ask Clark all her dying questions. "Fundamental goodness"? Really? Prying, stalking, barging, and clinging on to Clark is called goodness?

@@bwackbeedows3629 The actress Alison Mack got pulled into a cult called Nxivm which originally portrayed itself as self help retreats for those with depression but as a person got sucked further in, would involve things like preforming sex acts, getting locked up in an isolated location for days to weeks at a time to break them emotionally and mentally, getting literally branded like cattle, being treated and used as a slave, and other such horrifying acts. She was in the cult long enough to become one of the higher ups who's responsibility was to recruit others and also perform those aforementioned criminal acts upon other newer cult members. Micheal Rosenbaum on his podcast talked about how unsettling it was to watch his work friend go from this nice normal lady to the uncomfortable as all hell brainwashed woman that he didn't feel safe around. I personally always liked Chloe's character. I thought she was so smart and charming but now it's hard to watch her in the show knowing that Mack's charming demeanor was probably used to pull people into a cult.

I had the biggest crush on Alison Mack. So, so sad what happened. Her constant back and forth as a character is kinda what her the most human on the show. She was the only other main character than Lionel that was wholly created for the show so she had no lore or fan base to live up to. No human has all of the right answers all of the time so why do we expect our fictional characters to always know everything? I think it would have been perfect if David would have appeared on "Smallville" or at least if they had been allowed to use "Starman." in a dramatic moment.

I honestly think that Chloe Sullivan has both good and bad moments in this series, which makes me feel like she sometimes overstays her welcome in the series, while also having me conflicted about her character. I also don't think she's always right, especially when she thought that killing Davis was equivalent to stopping things that threaten Clark. If anything it just makes her hypocritical because one moment she's hesitant in killing Davis when he wants her to kill him, but she thinks that Clark's in danger, she kills Davis anyway, which becomes meaningless when Davis comes back immune to green Kryptonite. Not to mention the whole keeping Davis a secret from Clark and stopping Clark from sending to the phantom zone which would have been the best option to stop Doomsday. Chloe just annoys me in later seasons, especially in season 8 and 9. In spite of that, I honestly think that season 8 was a good season of Smallville, even with the bittersweet ending that has a negative impact on Clark that affects him throughout the last 2 seasons until he can find his way to become Superman.

Season 8 was the best season up until that point. The beginning of the season was incredible as we saw Clark’s journey on the show finally get him to where we knew he would end up. It was so exciting seeing the classic Superman elements start to take shape like Clark working as a reporter at the Daily Planet and the constant flirting between Clark and Lois. This season also solidified Smallville as the best Superman adaptation with so many perfect Superman moments from Clark as he finally became a true hero. We also saw other characters reach their potential like Lois and Jimmy. By the end of the season, Jimmy had really become the character from the comics who has the potential to be the best reporter. In the comics, Clark believes Jimmy can be an incredible reporter and Smallville showed us that potential reached when he was the only one to figure out Clark’s secret and Davis’s story. I don’t understand why DC thought he was too old if Jimmy was the same age as Clark in Superman Returns

I think an important part of Oliver's character is the fact that he isn't a hero like the other DC heroes, He's not a paragon of absolute Justice or Stoicism. To quote him from the comics he's a hunter and he's an emotional hunter. He's not Batman, he's not in it to prevent further loss of life, whether it be the villain of their victims. He learned to hunt on the Island. To hunt pirates and to protect the prey. Unlike heroes like Batman he is prone to do whatever it takes, whether it's putting arrows through the gang holding Black Canary hostage in The Longbow Hunter's or through the head of Prometheus after he destroyed Star City, killed his granddaughter and crippled Roy. Green Arrow is more human than a lot of the DC heroes IMO. He can be impulsive, cocky, and vengeful. Traits you don't often see in heroes from DC.

I watched the entire series but I have never liked Chloe - to me she seems like a writer's self insert, why? she sounds like one. Also, She's profoundly manipulative towards her friends. (her unnecessary months long investigations into Clark's origins is an example of this, then, making weepy excuses for her indiscretions when Clark finds out.) She was the conscience of the show because she was the writer, simple. She's the writer's voice. The god in the machine. Smallville is such a mixed bag of good and bad episodes, characters and plot twists, with far too much soap opera- style story telling, I've never been able to watch it a second time. I can't love the show. I wish they could have explained exactly why Kryptonians seemed to so dangerous to earth, yes, fine. Zod. Got it. but, even the normal Kryptonians seemed so? Even the AI Jor-El seems dangerous and threatening? Did he really think his son would become a ruler and if he did why did he send so many way to defeat Kal-El? ... And, after visiting many centuries, why hadn't they taken our planet over as a colony of Krypton, before our technological revolution, if they were so dangerous? It would have easy enough to do so, wouldn't it ? Were the Kryptonians, like the Asgardians in the Marvel Universe, seeming gods who were actually aliens? There were signs of ancient Kryptonian artifacts from all over our world and throughout our history... it didn't seem that this show's version of Kryptonians were ruled by a profound sense of morality, to me. That horrific sacrificial altar in one of the episodes... In short, Their handling of Kryptonian aspects seemed to me to be very muddled and confusing.

@@DarthDread-oh2ne Thanks. Just to elaborate: Chloe is Xander as he is jealous of Angel regarding Buffy's affection in a deep, intense, and dark way. Chloe is Max as she is a tech savy, loyal, awesome sidekick, and lastly, in season nine, she's the other side of a Batman coin - Green Arrow is the rich hero with gadgets, while Chloe is the tech savy, strategic, and somewhat ruthless mastermind (this attitude caused by desiring to ensure something as painful and upsetting as Jimmy's death never happens again).

When I heard how doomsday was handled in this show later on I legit stopped I don't even really care much about doomsday cuz to me he's just a plot device, but when I found out "yeah it went like this" I just said "okay fuck this, I'm not watching through to that"

It might just be you. Chloe was a pretty popular character while the show was on, they even wrote her into a few Superman comics. I think the actress had a lot to do with it; people really liked Alison Mack before the whole 'sex trafficking cult' thing.

Chloe should have died instead of Jimmy. The new core cast should have been Clark, Lois, Jimmy, Ollie and Tess.

Very awkward now talking about Chloe knowing the actress herself was part of a cult for sex trafficking and went to jail for it's very weird talking about it now I love the character on Smallville but I don't like the actress that played her because of what she did sometimes you have to separate the character from the person
