Oh look, my unpopular shipping preferences have finally reared their ugly heads.

Apr 03, 2009 23:59

This whole thing has probably been building since Turbulence really and I probably shouldn't pretend I don't have a bit of a shippy agenda here, but I've tried to remain as objective as possible, and I still see issues which I think needed expressing, so here goes.

( in which I rant about the love triangle which is currently wrecking havoc on smallville. spoilers for 8x18. )

You know something? I totally don't think the writers are making Jimmy look bad. I wouldn't blame him for anything that's happened post-"Turbulence". Yes, the hate mails are a little pathetic, but whatever. I can deal with it. If anything, they're making look Chloe look insane, and that's what is saddening me terribly. I can't watch her character go down the drain like this.

It became very clear to me during Eternal why PS3 broke Chlimmy up. They needed to make way for Chloom, which they knew they wanted to peruse towards the end of the season. Well, fuck that. Seriously. They broke up a ship which had been together for three seasons, WHO HAD JUST GOTTEN MARRIED (I keep emphasizing this because SERIOUSLY MARRIAGE ISN'T SOMETHING PEOPLE ENTER INTO LIGHTLY AND/OR FLIPPANTLY) so that they could pair their leading lady with the character who is famous for killing her best friend and generally causing mass destruction and being a supervillian. That's what just happened.

THANK YOU. I AGREE 100%. You don't do that, SV. You don't break up a marriage just because you want some ultra-cheesy Beauty and the Beast romance for your leading lady and your new shiny villain. You did it with Lana and Bizarro and it SUCKED. Why are you doing it again?! D:

I think it depends on how you look at it. I think Jimmy turning into a pill-popping hate e-mail sending scorned lover is making him look horrible, but mostly I just felt like he completely overreacted to what went down in Turbulence. Like the writers were looking for a reason to break up this previously stable couple for the sake of some drama, actually. :/

It's interesting that you'd compare them to Bizarro/Lana because I don't actually see the resemblance at all, but I totally agree with your main point anyway.
