But I really didn'...Nice bit of angst I guess.<br /><br />But I really didn't buy it.<br />Too many of the supositions you make in the story don't hold up.<br />Kent can't superspeed into her apartment every night without anyone seeing him, and occasionally go out in public with her as a visiting boyfriend?<br />And you make a reply to another comment that their jobs are not mundane. Ya they are and I can show you how. With bloging, twitter, and 24 hour news channels newspapers are totally mundane. One of the things the Superman mythology has not caught up on is the fact that newspapers are obsolete and dying a painful death. Look at the number of them including large chains that are going out of business. So you chose career over love. Guess what, in 10 years the Daily Planet will be gone or so changed it's not recognizable.<br />So you got a pink slip and an empty apartment for your effort. Yay You!<br />And 'destined' to be a reporter? What doo-doo. Does that mean someone can be destined to be a dog-catcher too? Hell If she was born to be a reporter there are lots of ways she could do it. Become a TV reporter; start her own news blog; become a freelancer.<br />You've just made the pair of them look like idiots to me.<br /><br />evilredknight<br />evilredknight@hotmail.com<br /><br />(sorry can never remember my passwords for google and livejournal and I'm not at home)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25257311.post-29042349174722834502009-06-26T00:31:52.731-04:002009-06-26T00:31:52.731-04:00As sad as I am that they're not together, I do...As sad as I am that they're not together, I don't see either of them giving up their dream jobs (which in the end becomes a dream life) for love. It's a reality of life that we need to work, and if you love your job, who could give that up? A fitting yet somber end to a wonderful relationship. I wonder how SV will exit Chloe after Season 9. I hope a little like this. I certainly don't want her killed off like James Olsen. ;) Well done. I really liked it.Kimmyhttp://devoted.to/iluvaqtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25257311.post-31936712733796306872009-06-25T15:12:17.150-04:002009-06-25T15:12:17.150-04:00Elly - if it comes down to a choice between seeing...Elly - if it comes down to a choice between seeing Chloe back in journalism or with Clark, I'll take journalism. She's loved it longer than she's loved Clark.<br /><br />Exactly. Clark's position on staying in Metropolis and working for Tess was a stupid one - it didn't show him wanting to be a hero in the city. <br /><br />Bummer than it didn't work out.<br /><br />Great writing as always, thoughtful alternative if not a perfect one :)Inkednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25257311.post-29503804983411221132009-06-25T11:16:52.886-04:002009-06-25T11:16:52.886-04:00Monica- I actually thought getting rid of Tess wou...Monica- I actually thought getting rid of Tess would make sense, but, well, I know the show isn't going to:-). So I was going with what I guess to be future show canon here. Of course Tess may eventually turn the DP over to Ollie, in which case Chloe can come back. If you want a more cheerful sequel, then feel free to imagine one along those lines <br /><br />Dee- Yep, if it comes down to a choice between seeing Chloe back in journalism or with Clark, I'll take journalism.

Much as I'd like to see romantic Chlark onscreen, I'd much prefer to see Chloe return to her journalism roots with a passion. If it comes down to one or the other, I'd rather see the girl with a decent job, thank you very much. But some onscreen Chlark sex before then wouldn't go amiss. ;-)<br /><br />Nice work, Elly!<br /><br />Regards,<br />Dee.DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277884826087371975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25257311.post-32894510400661560662009-06-25T10:56:18.404-04:002009-06-25T10:56:18.404-04:00Hmm this is amazing, great writing, totally logica...Hmm this is amazing, great writing, totally logical... and it killed me inside a little bit.. :(<br /><br />I have to say... can't you just get rid of Tess?? that way Chloe could come back!!!!!!!!

Or should they both put their careers first? It's a question that a lot of us have trouble with, really, and I think for them it's an even bigger question-- especially for Chloe, who's been "destined" for reporting since eight, at least.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697551123071619823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25257311.post-37643758913695840482009-06-25T08:57:21.160-04:002009-06-25T08:57:21.160-04:00now I'm completely bummed out.
