I don't think it was b/c of the tragedy. In any case they should have at least given us more than one day's notice.

I've heard spec that they did this to get SV/SPN viewers watching TVD and Nikita, but that's kind of counter productive IMO b/c it only pissed us off and showed a complete disregard for SV/SPN. Honestly it's not like it was news that TVD would be going up against Idol, so what are they going to do for the remainder of the season when it's competing against Idol on Thursday nights? Stupid CW fails at life.

So let's try this again: New episode this week

sweet_zelda

Yes, let's. And let's not even think about how wrong this move went in the end when it comes to the ratings

We've certainly waited long enough.

^-So is that good or bad for us?

sweet_zelda

I don't think it's going to have any repercussions one way or the other for us, but it's basically proof that it backfired on the network

Ron_Beckett

Well good for them then. Serves them right! Clearly they forget that if people didn't get a chance to watch they can always watch online. That's what I do since I don't even have the CW.

Word I'm still little upset about that.

I'm so excited for the episode

Happy Friday

They better not **** us over between now and then.

Wingster

Chlark scene was great
Flight...good but need one in real world

Matrix stuff was a bit over the top

JeRoMe

JeRoMe I don't think Chloe will be in all remaining episodes, her contract says 5 episodes for the entire season.
As for where she went: She went MIA, undercover, so to speak. The helmet warned her that something bad would happen and so she distanced herself from the group, so that she could be away from them when it happened and save them.


I really loved this episode. I thought it was a great show and I'm loving that Chloe is back. I also enjoyed the fact that Lois told Clark off about not trusting Chloe. It IS hard to trust someone when you know they're keeping something from you, but it is what he's been expecting people to do for years. It was nice to see Lois being the one to tell him that he needs to have faith in people, even when he doesn't know every single thing they do.
I loved that, despite her being MIA and suddenly vanishing, Lois and Oliver simply believed in her. It goes to show the amount of trust that's between them.

I also enjoyed the Lois and Clark scenes in this episode. I guess I like them much better when they're not dancing around each other, but now that everything is out in the open, they're equals.

And, my Oliver and Chloe together were just wonderful. I loved their scenes, loved Oliver's subtle hint that Clark was mad at Chloe for just leaving just as much as Lois comment about how it must sting to have someone not tell you everything. And the last scene between Chloe and Oliver I love them
