And her cousin takes advantage of the fame Chloe established to get a job - though that implies that Lois Lane herself isn't that much of a reporter, she's just standing on the shoulders of a giant. What seems risky is that Chloe chose the name of a relative - if Lionel figured out who her father was, he could probably keep a file on cousins as well. I would have preferred for the name to be some sort of injoke, or reference to a Lois Lane, a street special to her in Smallville.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

It's a remora, dimwit.

You think?
Not based on any spoilers - I keep having a feeling that Chloe will actually be Lois.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't want that. I'm working on articulating why, but a lot of it is Smallville using up all of Superman. Let him have new stuff when he gets to Metropolis. Not recycled old stuff.

Hmm, maybe the cousin could have no interest in journalism at all, but some plucky young woman trying to get her foot in the door takes the credit so she can have a chance at a job at the Daily Planet - that's the sort of pushiness and occasional moral questionability one would want to see in a Lois Lane.

I don't want that.
I can't say that I do either. I think it would be an interesting twist on the mythology and kind of cool way to tie to gether the thisshowverse and the comicverse - but I agree with you.
Still a lingering feeling though...AM is HUGE with the Smallville fans, much more so that KK.

I have a plan.

I'm all over that too. There needs to be a life developed after Smallville.

Is that a plot bunny?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Consuela, if you're still looking for GG summary, Pamie has her recap of the episode up on TWoP already.

Strawberry disappointment.
Lana sucks all the life out of any episode. Her dullness is almost a character in itself. Whenever she's on screen I find myself composing shopping lists.

Lana scenes are good for bathroom breaks, like Arwen ones.
