What I want for Chlollie on s10
I can't wait for Sunday 25th to be here soon, in the hope that we will get at list a hint of what TPTB has planned for Chlollie on s10. Big part of my concern about what would happen to my fav ship, is not knowing how many episodes Allison Mack will be in. If she has more than 10 episodes, this can easily work: Chlollie was developed in 8 episodes on s9, and, despite having an extremely short screentime (which is something definitely TPTB should make up for) the show was, for once, able to built a beautiful mature honest relationship. Plus, it'd be not the first time for a relationship with a regular and a non regular character. This can definitely work, if they, all the people involved, really want.
So, thinking positive thoughts, believing this is definitely gonna work, what I want for Chlollie on s10?? Lot of things actually, but I guess the most importants for me would be:
- Chloe's reaction towards Ollie missing: I really want to see Chloe breaking down, the girl always hides her fears and pain, but this time I want to see how much Oliver means to her. We had a little of that on Checkmate, but there was a completely lack of it on Sacrifice. For me, the scene in Sacrifice was just not enough, we deserved to know more about it, how Chloe reacted when Clark told her what happened to Ollie, how was when she entered his room for the first time, what Chloe wanted to say to him in those moments of waiting.
- The reunion: TPTB HAS to show us, ONSCREEN, the reunion of Chloe and Oliver, after Ollie comes back from whatever place he was (if he doesn't come back right away, because who knows, maybe that was all just for the cliffhanger and nothing will come out from that). This is a must that no story that's trying to be told properly, would leave to offscreen. I mean, besides "They're not kandorians" quote, settling the new villain for s10, the whole point of that scene was to show us in which state of their relationship Chloe and Oliver are, and how they would face the possibility of loosing one another. This was already hinted in Checkmate, they were scared to death, and this time looks like is something bigger than Checkmate's kidnappings.
- Reassurance of the ILYs: This is IT. The show can't ignore what they did on the last episode. They have to adress it and deal with it. No take backs allowed, that would be of horrible taste, and just a comepletely fail . I personally want that this time Chloe say it the first. Why? I know 100% that Oliver loves her. I want to be 100% sure that she loves him just as much as he loves her, no less. Then I want to see them commiting to this relationship, confessing that they never had anything like this with any other person, that they were both in front of eachother all along, and despite it took them so long to realize it, their paths shaped them in the people they are know, and all what they have been through led them to were they supposed to be, with eachother.
In this same scene (or could be in another one, it doesn't matter) I want to see Chloe saying to Oliver that he saved her too (Oliver already did that on Roulette), that he's the reason she wanted her life back again, the reason she started to feel and be happy again. (yeah yeah, she kind of did that in Sacrifice, but she said it to Clark... was too short for my taste, plus, is not like Clark was really listening...)
- Watchtower/Green Arrow action: Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy fluffy moments, just like any other fangirl, but I can't see Chloe and Oliver being too fluffy around eachother. Its not who they are. And is not what the show should be. So, 1 or 2 episodes with fluffy moments can work, but in the rest I want to see them in action, see them working in what they are strongly commited with: fight the good fight. I'd love to watch them working in more missions together, like in Salvation, give me GA/WT bussiness talk, throw in it awsome action scenes, fun banter, and the show will have me sold.
- Both having a life outside their relationship: I know my couple will have a little screentime, and I want to see them together as a much as I can. But I also think that is not healthy for the characters to only see them revolving around eachother, because again, that's not who they are. So, I want Green Arrow in other missions, I want him interacting with Clark (but pleeease, stop showing Clark like he's the perfect role model that Oliver should follow, and has to venerate as the all mighty all perfectly moral hero, aaargh), I hope we can get more JLA in this season, I'd love to see more interactions with Vic, AC, Bart, Carter, Mia, John. I even want to see him investigating what happened to Tess. I want to see him in his role of QI's CEO. And I desperately want to see my cocky s6 type Oliver back.
OTOH, I want Chloe fixing her relationship with Clark. I may not be a romantic Chlarker anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't care how the show ripped apart their friendship. I think the intents to show them getting close to eachother in the last season were too poor. I want to see a real honest deep talk, both saying what they think, what they feel, and doing a review of what has been their friendship all along this 9 years. I also want Chloe expending some time with Lois, talking about the things they can't talk with the guys, talking about their families (Still not clear how they relate.. is General Lane brother of Moira??). And I want to have at list a little of old Chloe back, funny snarky happy Chloe.
- Im not expecting for babies nor marriage propositions and certainly not for a wedding. I don't need any of that to show us how strong is their relationship, and actually, I think I would prefer not having any of that. I care more for a strong deep commitement with their relationship as Chloe and Oliver, and to their partnership as Green Arrow and Watchtower, and their common commitement to the JLA. Now, of course, give me proofs that they are building a life together (moving together for example), and that they are in this for the long run, and I'd be a happy Chlollier for life.
Hope Im not asking for too much and I can get a good amount of my wishes (let it be all of them... let it be all of them... what? Im greedy :P)
