Picspam: Everything I've ever done, right or wrong, I did it for you.

[mojotastic]

Ok. I know. I KNOW. I just did a picspam like three days ago. I was not expecting to get home from a successful day of shopping and just suddenly feel it necessary to picspam Smallville. But who knew that last week's episode of Smallville would be so good. Certainly not I! I never expect the words epic amazing and Smallville to coincide in the same sentence. No one was more shocked than I was! I'm starting to feel like maybe my abusive relationship with Smallville is at a turning point. Like, maybe Smallville really means it when it says it loves me now? Maybe it'll stop hitting me?

BUT OMG THAT EPISODE WAS SO GOOD IT MADE ME FEEL MANY FEELINGS IN MY HEART WHERE I FEEL FEELINGS!

The episode finished and I felt like I was trapped in a glass case of emotions! As nyonyo put it, if you had told me last year that a Whedon show would be on the air and I'd be like "lol whatever let's cap Smallville!" I would have called you a liar and a scoundrel. AND YET!

Since nyonyo did a insanely beautiful picspam of the whole episode already, I decided to just picspam the epic Chlark phone convo that I've been watching on a loop on youtube.




SO! Usually I pepper my picspams with ~witty~ comments but like...IDK guys I think I'm all out of witty. I think this scene has robbed me of my ability to snark and left me just going "<3<3<3".

Seriously, it's so good. SO GOOD. Clark has emotions and then shows those emotions on his FACE! That never happens on this show!

I think what I love most about Clark's convo with Ollie is how he just can't wrap his mind around Chloe leaving him. Like he has all the evidence that it's happening and people are telling him to his face that it's happening and yet his brain literally cannot accept a scenario in which Chloe chooses someone else over him. Ollie's like "Chloe left! With Davis! Who she has feelings for!" and Clark is like "Chloe wouldn't leave MEEEEE her friends! You just don't understand our LOOOVEEE friendship! I HATE YOU SHUT YOUR STUPID FACE!"

And then he stares at the yearbook picture of them and considers whether it would be tacky to doodle hearts on the frame.


The lighting in this scene was really pretty. I love the shot of Davis through the convenience store window.


Chloe: Look, everything I've ever done, right or wrong, I did it for you.
Clark: By running away? Admit it Chloe, you have feelings for Davis that's why you're protecting him.
Chloe: Clark I'm protecting you.

<3<3<3 OMG I love that Chloe line so much. Sometimes the writers just GET IT and it's amazing because it doesn't happen that often. But seriously, yes. Everything that Chloe does she does for Clark and I love her telling him so flat out. I also love that Clark's first reaction is totally jealousy because Chloe is running away with Davis. OMGGGGG! I LOVE THEM. (I knew this picspam commentary was gonna be a total bust of just me flailing about.)


Clark: Chloe, I'm going to spend every second looking for you. I'll find a way to save you!
Chloe: Clark you're not here to save one person you're here to save all of us.

OMGGGGGGGGGG! MY HEART! This scene guys. This scene. Look at Tom Weiling using his face to convey ~emotions~! I mean, it goes without saying that Allison Mack is fantastic because she can cycle through about fifty facial expressions in the space of five seconds. But TW is never as good as when he's playing a great Chlark scene.


Clark: And you think sacrificing yourself will help me do that? Chloe, you're wrong. You're wrong Chloe.
Chloe: I must've thrown a million green rocks away and I've never really saved you. Now I can.

The way he says "You're wrong Chloe" kills me. It's so sad! He just wants her to come back so they can get takeout and eat it in the DP basement and then scooby together and figure out the solution. Davis keeps saying in this episode that he doesn't know who he'd be without Chloe but I think that Clark is starting to realize the same thing. How would Clark get by without Chloe? I mean unless all his problems revolved around finding pie or feeding Shelby. Let's admit it, Chloe's the one who does the heavy lifting when it comes to thinking in that relationship.


Clark: Chloe this is your life that we're talking about, don't do this.
Chloe: Clark, if there's one lesson I've learned from you it's that choosing the greater good is never a sacrifice.
Clark: Chloe?!

Poor Clark just keeps thinking he can talk her off the edge of doing this. Allison Mack is fantastic here. Chloe is so strong and so sad and so determined to save Clark and help Davis. And it's all going to collapse on her and it's going to be horrible. :*( HEARTBREAK!



BWAHAHAHAHA HULK SMASH!! The second cap always cracks me up. He's like "FUCKING PHONE!". I just love it also because it's like maybe if Clark had a phone he could hang up drama-whorishly he wouldn't have to pound that cabinet. But he has this little cell phone that he has to hit a little button to hang up and that's just not dramatically satisfying enough for him. SO THE CABINET MUST SUFFER INSTEAD. This is the totally healthy way that Clark deals with his feelings, by smashing the crap out of inanimate objects.

It's just impossible to deny the OTP of Chlark though. I mean, Clark never gets this emotional about anything other than Chloe. Because Chloe is his person and he's lost without her and he loves her but can't say it so instead he just smashes cabinets and yells at Ollie about how Chloe would never leave her friendddsss. When really he means Chloe would never leave HIM. OMGOMG <3<3 I'm getting incoherent again omg.


I love this. It's Chloe doing that Chloe thing she does where she cries and then pulls herself together as Davis comes out and then smiles through the pain. AM is fantastic.


Davis: You said that road trips give you a sweet tooth, so...
Chloe: Thank you.
Davis: We better get moving if we wanna hit the border by morning.
Chloe: Let's disappear.

Awwww! The heart shaped chocolate is so cute. Why so adorable Davis? He is truly my favorite serial killer ever. It's a sad commentary on Chloe's love life when the serial killer is really the only one who treats her nicely on any kind of consistent basis. He remembers that she has a road trip sweet tooth! The Chloe/Davis thing this season has really been the highlight for me. Their relationship is so angsty and awesome. It definitely doesn't hurt that they have such sexy chemistry or that SW and AM are so pretty. I wish we would just get a few episodes dedicated to their roadtrip. Like, Chloe and Davis: fighting over the radio! Chloe and Davis: playing zitch dog! Chloe and Davis: camping! The possibilities are endless! Why is it the end of the season already?


I love how as soon as Davis isn't around she allows herself to be like "Oh shit what am I doing?" She's in way over her head and she knows it but also knows this is the only option that will keep Clark safe.

....This episode, man. THIS EPISODE. What are you doing to me, Smallville? I wanna believe you've changed but then I remember that last week was the Lois leather!daddy episode and then I'm less sure of your commitment to sparkle motion our ~lurve~.

Dear Smallville, please continue to be this amazing. XOXO- me.

Oh God, that scene. I don´t know, I guess I´m a Chlarker again?Man, I was soooo on board in the Chlavis ship, but then this episode happened and I´m like, Chloe will NEVER love anyone as much as she loves Clark. And he was cute too.

[lillie-poo-pod.livejournal.com]

I have been watching this scene over and over this weekend. I can't get enough of it. ♥ ♥

The entire scene was so heartbreaking but so squee worthy at the same time.And I love the fact that he totally looses his shit over Chloe. I lurves her. And I think that the whole relationship change thing will be that Clark finally realizes his feeling for her. *crosses fingers*

The Chloe/Davis ship has been my replacement for them never doing Chlex. SV and their missed opportunities man. The Davis storyline is the best thing this season and I love it so much.

And since we'll probably won't see Chloe getting down to the nitty and the gritty for a long time, I'll just have to watch this over and over.

[deludedvision.livejournal.com]

I hate when Smallville does this to me. Everyone's going on and on about "Beast" and I'm all flailing because obviously I need to watch it, but NO, because next week the show will just piss me off again.

Anyway, I watched this video on YouTube, and I was all *DEAD* because of it! Clark/Chloe = TOTAL OTP. I love how EMO he goes over Chloe.

TW is great when he shows emotion. When Chloe leaves and Clark's just so DEVASTATED and confused. His brain cannot compute it. At all. And Chloe, OH CHLOE, how she loves Clark and would do anything for him.

I hate this show for not making sense. Clark/Chloe should be the OTP. They've destroyed themselves over and over for each other. And the Clark/Chloe/Davis storyline is so OBVIOUS because Davis says things to her that Clark does, and needs her the way Clark does, but they're still pimping Clark/Nois and WHAT THE HELL. (Probably they just want us to see the pretty parallels between Clark and Davis, but if they wanted that, Davis should PROBABLY be drooling over Lois.

Really, Smallville, if you want to pimp Nois and Clark/Nois and make us believe that Nois can be awesome? What Chloe is doing RIGHT HERE would be the way to do it. But no, you can't because Chloe >>>>>>>>>>> Nois.)

[lapiccolina.livejournal.com]

Hee! You're awesome! Your Chlark commentary I totally agree with! :flails with you:

Great great picspam! Thank you for sharing!

[noblealice.livejournal.com]

I agree so hard. Like, Clark has probably never even thought in his wildest daydreams that Chloe would ever leave. (In "Legion" he was all YOU UR WRONG when they suggested that maybe history didn't know her for a reason*) Maybe he's been afraid that she'd get taken or killed, but not LEAVE VOLUNTARILY. So it's this huge shock and maybe what he needs to finally address his feelings towards her because she's just always been there in the background as someone to USE but never really give anything to.

Tangent: It reminds me of S6 "Crimson" when RedK!Clark teases Chloe about her constant pining and even though Clark doesn't believe it, Martha sees that maybe underneath it all, he really enjoys having Chloe always ready to be a safe option. It should probably say something about Jimmy/Chloe that Clark was never really this jealous of Jimmy. Maybe because Chloe would still be around.

But back to this scene: Originally, I kinda wanted Chloe to tell Clark about the prophecy of Davis killing him so he would understand a bit more. BUT THEN WE GOT JEALOUS!CLARK and it was better than I had hoped!

Chloe/Davis is just wrapped in so many issues and craziness and while they are superficially hot together, I think I'd rather see more road trip antics instead of emotionally confusing out-making with a dead Clark on a pole in the background.

*OMG, I'm SO AFRAID of Chloe!death foreshadowing. PLEASE DON'T KILL HER.

Love it. Great summations, great scene. I would quote you and get all meta but you've got highlighting turned off. :( :( :(!

Love this beautiful picspam. This scene cemented why I will forever and always ship Chlark.

[her-lovelyheart.livejournal.com]

Omggggggggggggggg. SUCH LOVE. I haven't even seen this episode yet ha, I've kinda fallen behind on the past few episodes cause I didn't want Lois/Clark shoved down my throat but I really really need to catch up cause I do love the Clark and Chloe friendship SO much and I'm loving this Doomsday addition. Chloe's lines and AM's acting are the best and I can't wait to watch this. So, again, THANK YOU for the picspam! ♥

[lilisullivan.livejournal.com]

this scene is just epic...
Now brace yourself for thursday, because you never know what your abusive boyfriend is going to do.

[wander-lust-79.livejournal.com]

It's a sad commentary on Chloe's love life when the serial killer is really the only one who treats her nicely on any kind of consistent basis. He remembers that she has a road trip sweet tooth!

Amen!!!! I have been thinking something along those lines for a while, you said it better than I could!!!

Great Pic spam!!! I loved this epi!

[iliana-1.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS PICSPAM!

I love your comments. It's pretty much what was running through my head when I first watched it. This is why I Chlark and my Chlark squee is at a season high right now. They better not do anything to muck it up or I will clobber them.

[kissme-myfool.livejournal.com]

awesome picspam.

I'll let my icon speak for me ;)

[sunny-serenity.livejournal.com]

OH! Smallville why must you toy with my emotions?? Cos you know after the awesome of this they're gonna commence with the effery. Chloe/Clark KILLS. My heart, it aches. The pretty, it burns.

It's Chloe doing that Chloe thing she does where she cries and then pulls herself together as Davis comes out and then smiles through the pain. AM is fantastic.

[simplytoopretty.livejournal.com]

That was a lovely picspam. Your comments were so similar to what I had thought when I watched this scene (on the many occasions that I watched cause this scene demanded repeat viewings).

[viennawaits.livejournal.com]

I can't believe that I thought I ever stopped shipping them. I cried. Me? I laughed when Haley was hit by a car and then I heckled her.

So I cried and the writers have basically pissed all over what I hoped they'd do with Chlavis and Chlex is never going to happen and Chlark, is still a very happy place for me.

This picspam was wonderful.

[pinkspots.livejournal.com]

if you had told me last year that a Whedon show would be on the air and I'd be like "lol whatever let's cap Smallville!" I would have called you a liar and a scoundrel. AND YET!
HAHAHAHA this made me lol so hard!

Looks like a pretty scene though!

[cifan70.livejournal.com]

Love this scene. Great picspam.

[wicked-g.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOL

Sorry, I found this by accident, but Clark's "FUCKING PHONE!" face is cracking me up WAY TOO MUCH. I can't stop looking at it, and it's just so priceless. It's like one of those commercials for phone companies about getting fewer dropped calls on your mobile.

Soo yeah. Thanks. : D

[shop-gal08.livejournal.com]

"yells at Ollie about how Chloe would never leave her friendddsss

When really he means Chloe would never leave HIM."

LOL I don't know why Clark said "friends" when he was clearly referring to himself. Yes, that cap he's frustrated with the phone is hilarious.

"I love this. It's Chloe doing that Chloe thing she does where she cries and then pulls herself together as Davis comes out and then smiles through the pain. AM is fantastic."

Chloe has been doing that since forever. Allison is a master at that and that's one of the reasons I'm a huge fan of her acting.

"By running away? Admit it Chloe, you have feelings for Davis that's why you're protecting him."

That was blatant romantic jealousy. I said romantic because I'm tired of reading that he was just a concerned platonic friend. If it was platonic then Clark would only be concerned that's she running away with a dangerous being and not whether or not she has feelings for Davis.

Awesome picspam. Thank you.

[kitoky.livejournal.com]

Your commentary made me lulz and I'm in a university library and people stare regardless of their attempts NOT TO.

AND IF THIS IS NOT YOUR WIT, I WILL PROBABLY DIE FROM YOUR REAL WIT. BECAUSE HOMG. LULZ.

BWAHAHAHAHA HULK SMASH!! The second cap always cracks me up. He's like "FUCKING PHONE!". I just love it also because it's like maybe if Clark had a phone he could hang up drama-whorishly he wouldn't have to pound that cabinet.

I can't help it. This kicked my ass. Love this picspam homg. <333

[steefvaniersel.livejournal.com]

Loved you're picspam!

Beast is IMO the best episode of season 8 by a long shot, the acting, the writing it was all awesome!

Thank you so much for capping the epicness that was the last Chlark scene of the episode!!
