Allison Mack's overwhelmingly bad acting meant this episode was not nearly as powerful as it could have been,
Oh my.. LOL. I have to say, I very much enjoyed watching her twirl her sweaty and evol mustache, but I also can admit that my dislike of the sameoldsameold Chloe banter and presence is at least partly to blame.
I did do a little dance of joy at the line 'we've never heard a thing about any Chloe Sullivan'.
I just read the absolute worst theory in the world about that. I can't even repeat it (here) because I don't want it to spread (even if it is just fannish speculation).
I was a bit underwhelmed by Brainiac being turned into a giant paperweight.
This is a CLASSIC boppy review line. LMAO!
Yes, there was a lot of Clana shippiness in this episode. It feels miiiiiiles away from the rest of the season and its Clois focus.
It really is miles away. I'm beginning to think it's a good thing they don't have Lois and Lana in the same episodes (as much as that really disappointed me initially). I just don't trust tptb to be able to resist the temptation of making them competitors in one of their beloved triangles.
The Clark and Lana storyline will have it's clean end, and the Clark and Lois one will continue without that as a factor. This seems best.
I found I couldn't suspend disbelief at all in Allison's scenes. I had to make a mantra: 'listen to the words, not the acting' because I didn't buy her as Brainiac at all.
I just read the absolute worst theory in the world about that Oh I could hear the Chlois chorus in my head: 'that's because she IS Lois Lane'.
I think I'm also fine with the division of Lana and Lois time--I don't think TPTB are up to juggling the two in a sophisticated way. Let each have its space.
Oh, I can totally understand that, but I think it was in Huzzlewhat's comments that someone expressed a wanky theory that completely was in line with my thinking about it. There is a "muscle memory" factor that would make a Chloe-inhabiting Brainiac still be influenced by her natural physical expressions. That kind of thing makes sense to me as far as her movements. Sometimes you just gotta embrace the wank! Or not. ;)

Actually, what I read was worse, or at least, equatable - from my perspective. :/
Oh no...It really is just a speculation I read, but if you think about it, they could go that way - The name of Chloe Sullivan isn't remembered, but the name of Lana Lang as Clark's best friend is.
However, the fact that Imra told Lana to her face that SHE has a destiny that is significant makes me think they wouldn't really do that. It sort of invalidates everything Imra said to Lana in this episode.
Honestly, I read that spec and all I could think was that that would be a deal breaker for me and this show.
