Re: Smallville -- "Legion" -- 1/15/09
The people I know, love and care for.
Face it, you have three dorks show up that don't know dick about Clark. They knew Superman. They didn't provide a shred of evidence that they were from the future, just some clever "wink-wink, nod-nod" fan-service moments that meant nothing to Clark. For all he knew, they were just three meteor freaks, one with the ability to read his mind about krypton, chloe, his past, et al.
Clark knew them all of a few hours. I just think it is a stretch that he's ready to take their word about anything thus far without any proof, especially killing Chloe. Maybe if they come back they can bring back some photos or newspaper clippings about all the great things he did/will do.
Anyway, I hope they never show up again unless they recast all three of 'em, maybe a bit older. Maybe get an actress that doesn't sound like she swallowed a tablespoon of peanut butter before filming the scene.

What anyone "knows" about time travel is purely hypothetical. But your point is valid. This is science fiction and writers' rules about such things are their rules.

I liked the episode well enough, but I 100% agree with this. Of course, I felt that her loss of memory was the "reboot", so Smallville pulled the rare "Rereboot" and put things back the way they should have been. Even when Chloe said that she still remembered Clark's secret, I thought they were going to do some kind of "I know you still love Lana" or something stupid.
Yay Smallville writers! Way to not fuck it up again!!

It's funny; on the kryptonsite fan forum, most reacted positively to the Chloe mind-wipe. I hated it!
