The whole "I called you at the Centre because I knew you were there" thing?
Silly. Why didn't she also know he had no idea where she was?
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I expect stupidity from Lana - odds were that the center was a misdial and she was actually trying to call Miss Cleo. But Chloe is supposed to be smarter.

Up with the sun
I liked the episode, but maybe I'm just easy to please. Chloe had something to do, Clark wasn't SuperSelfRighteousAnnoyingMan, and it was a great resolution to the Adam storyline (even if I do want Lana to like someone who is neither Clark nor Evil soon, just because Clark needs to deal.).
But I *like* time travel as a premise.

Absolutely. I mean, look at her FBI-level audio file cleanup.
Which Clark later did too.
I realise that Smallville is ruining Supes for me. Not only do I feel empathy for Lex Luthor that I shouldn't but I'm forgetting that Superman is brilliant.
But I *like* time travel as a premise.
So do I. I just thought this instantiation of it made no sense.

I never really thought of Superman as supersmart - he didn't need to be since he had pretty much every other ability and just the one weakness (also he couldn't stand kryptonite.) It was superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man who were cerebrally strong.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, Clark Kent should have the curiosity and smarts that get him to be a journalist. . . and it's very easy to forget that when you watch Smallville.

Me neither, but I was just reading about him today, and I may have to chalk that up to my biases. He was, however, nowhere near as dumb as Clark.
just the one weakness
Magic?
It was superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man who were cerebrally strong.
I never thought of Spidey as bright either, which is why I can't be trusted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
what I think would have been logical is for Lana and clark to stay together. that would have foiled things.
however, mostly I am curious because there was no expalation fo the time travel.
of course I also wondered what would have happened if Lana hadn't put on the sweater.

Spidey was a science nerd - plus, with his set of powers, you need to be able to figure out how they can actually be used in each situation - shooting webs out of one's hands or wrists doesn't apply to as many situations as just being impermeable to bullets and the like.

In high school. Who wasn't?
[rhetorical, please don't answer]
Mr. Fantastic -- that's a brainiac. Batman, all sorts of mad skills.
But there are tons of heroes and villains who don't possess a fraction of Superman's skills and get along just fine with a mostly average IQ.
Admittedly, he did create the web serum himself. As I said, my biases.
Superman, apparently, is canonically bright.
