"That’s what the history books all say."
"And do you believe the history books?"
"Well… yeah."
-- An exchange between a student and a Comparative Literature professor, January 2010
It is popular to think of history in the same way as one might think of the Superman mythos— a concrete set of events, dates, names. Smallville is presented as a prequel to the Superman story; to view it in a different way, the show can be viewed as a behind-the-scenes history of Superman. Smallville’s writers delight in twisting what we think we know, crafting a show that could be subtitled “Lies the Mythos Told Me.â€
The episode “Legion†(8.11) draws this issue to the forefront. In the time of the Legion of Superheroes, Superman is history. There is a museum dedicated to his feats and the smallest details are known about him, including the story of the first baseball he ever hit. And yet, there are things they don’t know, including the identity of Chloe Sullivan, Clark Kent’s best friend and someone apparently absent from the life of Superman. The episode throws Chloe’s fate out as a historical mystery for the Legionnaires. Who is she? If she is so important, why don’t they know who she is? Why have they never heard of Chloe Sullivan?
Newsarama Chloe on Relationships, New StorylinesJenna Busch whom reached out to Chlois fans on Twitter before her interview, had a great one-on-one with Allison Mack. Some of the goodies are that Allison's work load has increased, that she's looking forward to working with Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean again, that she'd love to work on Supernatural, and that her episode was a lot more traditional, old school, heart-warming Smallville.
Jenna also asked if Chloe would return to the DP (the claim was Chloe can't Watchtower from the DP which really wasn't what the question was about), and her relationship with Clark (apparently still on the rocks) and with Ollie (a nice diversion but not what Chloe really wants). Allison goes on once again about how DC owns her character now, but once again seems confused that Chloe still has not had an actual appearence in the comics. She does talk about the lasting power for the show which is obvious to anyone whom reads the books right now. She also talks briefly about spoilers concerning Checkmate for those inclined.
TVGuide: Allison Mack Excited About Directing Again — and a New CouplingNatalie Abrams also sat down with Allison Mack to talk about the show, and specifically going over some of the character dynamics and fan dynamics. Her fans want her with Clark Kent, even though she's got a rebound brewing with Ollie and he's seeing her cousin, the latter being something that Chloe is apparently not thrilled about according to Allison.
Also teased in this interview that Clark and Chloe still have yet to come back together and are being divided still (quite the opposite of what the fanbase wants according to Natalie and her stie's reactions to season nine). They get into the fact that Chloe's aggressively trying to save people this year, especially as the Checkmate story heats up.
Perhaps more interesting is that she hints that the line by Dr. Fate could mean multiple things be it that Chloe ends up crazy, that she becomes the next Dr. Fate, or the other obvious one not mentioned here - that her fate is unknowable.
Of course we at Carbon Copy have a fair idea of what Chloe's fate should be.
2009 E!Online CW Award NomineesE! Online is at it again with their CW Awards:
Every year when awards season rolls around, we get bummed that some of the shows we enjoy the most—the ones on the CW—aren't even without shouting distance of a nomination, much less a trophy.
So last year we decided to something about it and invented the totally unofficial and totally fun CW Awards, which honors the great acting and writing specific to that network (hush, haters), and this year we're at it again.

E! Online Girl On Top: Elite EightAllison Mack/Chloe Sullivan has managed to slip around not one but two Grey's Anatomy favorites to make it to the Elite Eight, and we think E! sums up the situation of the run off nicely:
All we have to say about this Elite Eight round of Girl on Top is ouch, ouch, ouch and ouch, because the matchups are downright painful for us die-hard TV fans.
Two CW faves are going head-to-head in the first game: How are we supposed to decide between Smallville's Chloe (Allison Mack) and Gossip Girl's Blair (Leighton Meester)?!

Girl On Top Tournament ContendersE! Online is doing another "Whose Your Favorite Actor" run off poll over the holidays, only this time, it's for the actresses. As it says on their web site:
We learned from the first tournament that you guys want some control over who is included in the brackets, so we're offering up 128 of the best female characters on TV for an initital selection round. This means you guys can decide who should be included in Girl on Top and at what rank they enter the initial 64-contestant tournament.
The 128 initial names have been divided into four groups of 32. You should vote for your faves in every group, and we'll automatically include the top 12 names in each group at that rank. We're reserving the last four slots in each group for "editor's choice," which allows for both whismy and for write-in votes to get some play.
So far it looks like all three of Smallville's ladies are in play, and all in different categories so hopefully they won't be run against each other if anyone makes it to the round of the tournament's sixty-four contestants.
BuddyTV: Allison Mack #53 on 100 Sexiest WomenBuddyTV has releast the first half of their sexiest list and Allison beat out such names as One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush, America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks, Project Runway's Heidi Klum, Glee's Dianna Agron & Lea Michele, and The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev.
The write up even included a not-so-subtle slam at the show for taking away Allison's screentime and friendship with Clark to be replaced by another character; they do compliment the general bad-assery that Chloe is doing this year is interesting.
Portrait's 30 Under 30 2009; Allison Mack, #21Allison has made Portrait's 30 Under 30 again, the only person from Smallville to make it. Dubbed "Smallville's Sweetheart" they gave her a rather glowing write up at #21:
#21. Smallville’s Sweetheart: Allison Mack
Born: July 29, 1982
She’s the Smallville darling that has been there since day one, and when it was suggested that Allison and her character Chloe Sullivan may not have returned this season, fans turned rabid, demonstrating just how dedicated Allison’s fanbase is! Year after year, Allison wows us with her acting talents and her mix of vulrenable yet tough portrayal of Chloe. Allison’s spirituality and thoughfulness as demonstrated through her blog and other projects outside Smallville further adds to why fans love her so much.
What’s Next:Having already shown her directing skills in a previous episode of Smallville last season, Allison is set to direct another episode 9x11 “Warriorâ€, which will air in late January. Her production company Parvati Creative Inc., which she opened with Rosa Bhura and former Smallville co-star Kristin Kreuk, will no doubt also keep Allison busy.

TVGuide had a favulous interview about Chloe Sullivan, Allison Mack's upcoming directed episode, and what romance might be on the horizon; however the most interesting part of the interview had to do with her screentime and Chloe's link with Clark:

TVGuide Sets Record Straight on Chloe-Clark RelationshipNatalie Abrams rescently sat down to talk with Smallville producer Kelly Souders; while her full article covers multiple things such as Allison Mack's screentime and other spoilers, an entirely seperate article was devoted to covering the Clark-Chloe relationship.
The answer given was a typical non-answer/denial claiming that Clark and Chloe, who've gone through their traumas together, were some how different now but she wasn't going to say never:
"I hate saying never because it's Smallville," Souders says. "But this year, fans will see that both of them have maybe moved on to people who are strangely more suited for each other."
Despite Kelly Souders' dubious grasp on grammar, she says that Clark and Chloe will start taking baby steps back towards friendship. However, the fact that fans actually see a triangle as Ms. Abrams' points out, hopefully will result in more Clark-Chloe in our future.
