OK, I haven't done this yet, but since there are so many of them, I have to pick at it a bit and complain. Because...well, because I'm Me, Hello! ;)
TVGuide.com: Would you want to see him with Chloe over Lois? Hartley: No, it's not like he prefers Lois. It's an interesting thing because he's got the love of his life in Lois, and she's happy now. It sounds so cliché, "I just want to see you happy," but I think that Oliver understands that he can't make a woman like that happy and give her what she needs. He's just not that man. What Chloe is asking for is a little bit different; it's more Oliver's speed. Not to downplay it or say it's a convenient thing, they're definitely comfortable together and they understand each other and don't have to put on a front.IDK. I think anyway you squint and look at this one, it sounds like Oliver is settling for Chloe because he can't have Lois, and apparently Chloe won't ask much from him. Pardon me while I swoon over how romantic that is *rolls eyes* Why are they bothering with this? It just

I agree with what you're saying in that it does seem very Ollie-centric, but I do get the feeling that if this interview had been with Tom, we'd be getting a lot more Clark-centric stuff talked about. But our guy remains elusive as ever ...
I agree that the fact that it's Justin being interviewed makes a difference. It's hard to tell how much of the Oliver emphasis in the spoilers that Justin shares is because of his obviously Ollie-centric perspective, and how much is simply reflective of the writing. I wish we could hear Tom's perspective as well.
Cynical!LaT thinks it's a bone thrown to Chloe fans
Cynical!Me agrees 100%. There's nothing organic about this at all.
I would expect Oliver and Chloe to be involved with Clark's plan to deal with Zod and it does make a certain sense. Clark shouldn't have to go it alone if he's got people capable of backing his play. But that's the problem I see -- Oliver and Chloe aren't capable of backing Clark's play, at least not since the events of Doomsday. And it does sound like they're going to be second-guessing him yet again, nevermind that of the three of them, he's literally the only one best equipped to neutralize Zod. Well, thats it, exactly. JH isn't talking about how Oliver is going to back up Clark in his battle with Zod. He's talking about how Green Arrow is going to battle Zod, and how he has his own ideas, and thinks he's the person for the job. I don't object to Clark having back-up. But it reminds me of what they did with Oliver and Lex. Suddenly, those 2 were the big rivals, and Oliver was all about taking Lex down. But

First of all, thank you so much for this comment! It's that perfect combination of logical, thoughtful analysis and ruthless snark that I love, and that only you can give us. :)
I think anyway you squint and look at this one, it sounds like Oliver is settling for Chloe because he can't have Lois, and apparently Chloe won't ask much from him. Pardon me while I swoon over how romantic that is *rolls eyes* Why are they bothering with this?
It makes no sense to me either, and I think most of Justin's answer there is him thinking out loud, trying to figure it out for himself. Chloe doesn't want much, which is good, because Oliver doesn't have much to offer? As I said upthread, he makes it sound like they're friends with benefits. And I don't think Justin is necessarily sold on the idea just yet.
So, Oliver thinks Lois is the love of his life, he's going to be having a fling with Chloe, but who knows, he might still have something brewing with Tess?Honestly, I think this is Justin's way of saying, "How the hell should I know? I
