It was total crap, which I expected from that writer. Craig told me he thought someone else wrote the Chlark barn scene cos it was so much better.
Especially Oliver. Just no. There was simply no reason for it and not something I believe she would put him through again. I wanted them to make the decision to leave together. She's going to Star City for God's sake. Why wouldn't they leave together?
Do I even need to answer this? Chlollie are not TRU LUV and never were.
ETA- But I'm satisfied because Chloe. Is. A. Reporter. Ever since AM said she came back "for the fans" I have been scared that she'd be so out of touch to NOT know what we want. I'm glad she actually did. Yeah there could have been more buildup, but it happened and it's canon and so I'll take what I can get.
She's really bad. Like really bad. It makes sense that someone else wrote that Chlark scene of course the acting saved it.
I know you don't agree but I think they are. I believe she loves him. I believe her loves her. I'm glad she has love in her life. I just wanted it handled better and it would have been if a Chloe Writer had wrote it.
I'm glad too. Really glad. But I wanted more on it. I wanted to hear that last weeks happenings got her thinking about her future. She decided to return to reporting. How she had no problem getting a job because of her experience and her credentials and Clark telling her it made perfect sense for her to to go back to her calling.
It's not that I don't think they love each other or care about each other. I see that. But I think the show has conveyed, through Chloe's actions, that she does NOT consider Ollie her life partner-- it's just not on that level. It's "we enjoy each other's company and we have similar goals," but that's about it. It's not even on a Chimmy level, where we saw her make an active effort at the relationship, we saw the three years of history and there were even more years before that-- I could get that Chloe THOUGHT she was meant to be with Jimmy and did try, but everyone knew it was only settling cos she couldn't have Clark. So if I didn't buy Chimmy, I don't see how Cholllie is sold to be this lifetime pairing. It's just not on the screen that way.
oh, and Ollie is still evil. That's not happy, or an ending.
I don't think she was leaving for Star City when she walked out of Watchtower...she was supposed to meet Oliver later at his place. I think she was going for a walk to help prepare her for telling him the news and her decision later that night
( ... )
She's made *every* decision ever without Oliver, cos she's just not into the relationship. This one is no different. Even back in Escape, she was like "this is just sex." She didn't call him or contact him the entire time she was gone, and then still doesn't want to call him her boyfriend till she realizes she has nothing else in life. (and was more interested in her computer than him in bed.) Sure, they are friends who care about each other, but I am just not sold on this idea that Chloe has this deep connection with Ollie and considers him her life partner, cos none of that has been on the screen or conveyed. I didn't see any sort of sacrifice; It's not like Ollie has a job or obligations in Metropolis, he could have gone with her if she wanted or asked him to come along.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I know you still ship Chlark, and that's fine. But I feel, IMO and in many, many others', that the show has done a great job of showing that Chloe's emotional distance about the relationship with Oliver has gradually and subtly melted away over time. I see a connection on-screen that is organic and deep
( ... )
Cos I didn't see it that way-- she had a plan to save Ollie, then fake her death and go underground to get stuff done, which, cos Chloe is awesome, is perfectly fine for me. I'm not saying she doesn't care about him or even love him, and I'll agree that they are more than fuck buddies at this point-- I'm saying I don't think they have shown that she feels like he is her life partner or that they are meant to be together.
The fact that Chloe is a reporter again has me so happy I want to dance around the room.
The fact that this ep made you cry makes me want to find the writers and throw things at them.
But, if it makes you feel better, let's pretend that this is what happened off-screen. Chloe leaves the barn and later Lois finds Clark in the loft wanking away while chanting to himself, "Yes, Chloe, Yes!!!!" 'Cause you know he SO does. ;-)

With regards to #5 I completely agree. I really disliked the fact she was going to leave him high and dry. I'm not much of a Chlollie fan, but I thought that was very wrong of her.
eta that Chloe did say she was planning on meeting Oliver later on. Not sure I believe it though.
I know right, to be honest i didnt really get what the whole ep was supposed to be about. I LOVED the chlark scene, it was just so beautiful, my chlarker heart was beating so fast. I love how they had it in the barn, its always and always will be Chlarks place. I agree with you iw ould of liked it to be a little longer and yes clark to be happy that shes goign back to her roots. Im so happy shes reporting again. And leaving without telling anyone...it was just so out of chracter and i mean come one why would she leave like that. it was just stupid. Chloe wouldnt do that. But the chlollie scene was beautiful and i cried buckets. I need her back for the finale, but im scared that they might go do something bad and piss us all off. But i do need her back. Im gonna miss her so much.
