Does Anyone Else Watch Smallville? Spoilers Within

[Chase Summers]

I looked around Smallville boards and either I'm blind or no one is addressing what's bugging me. That and many of the boards haven't had a post since the summer. And there is this arc that is driving me crazy in how much I love it and am loathing it at the same time.

Okay so first:

Spoiler

in season 7, Chloe was all ill with Lana because Lana was willing to kill for Clark. In fact she indicated it was something she despised.

THEN

Spoiler

Chloe was attacked by Brainiac, but because of her healing powers his attack didn't shut her brain function down, but in fact upgraded her to super genius mode and weakened him allowing Clark to "destroy" him

THEN

Spoiler

In the season 8 episode 'Identity', this dude can read people's pasts/brain/memories just by touching them. He touches Clark when fighting him and thus gets that Clark is an alien superbeing. While he's in the hospital, Chloe visits this guy and after finding out he knows all about Clark she very cooly explains that the human mind is a complex computer and if you download too much data, it crashes and everything is lost. She takes off her black gloves and grabs dude's wrists and overloads his brain - killing him. But then there's NO mention of this ever again. She shows no remorse in subsequent episodes. And no indication that she was under any kind of Brainiac thrall at the time. At least not what I've seen.

FURTHER THEN

Spoiler

We discover Chloe's memories are being replaced by Kryptonian knowledge by Brainiac, which she calls "being taking over by Brainiac." Smallville writers do their thing and have the Brainiac essence removed from Chloe and erase her memories of Clark's powers and Kryptonian heritage. Of course Doomsday kidnaps her on her wedding day and reinfects her with Brainiac and my impression is that Brainiac needed Chloe for a new body/vessel. So she is now Brainiac.

But why for the dark move mentioned in my first spoiler?

Spoiler

As I understand Chloe is herself and not under Brainiac's control when she kills that guy, so why go against her beliefs?

If anyone can help shed some light on this arc or point me in a direction where I can learn more I'd muchly appreciate it. Smallville fans don't seem as online and analytically oriented as us Buffy fans.

I do watch it but it´s not like i follow it religiously and think about it too much. More like entertainment for 40 minutes. But can´t it just be personal growth? More experience makes you make decisions you never would earlier in your life?

I didn´t mean that it was something wrong with following something closely. It´s not like I´ve never done that myself and would be kind of stupid considering where we are right? 😉 It´s just that I watch way too much for me to be too involved in one show. I enjoy a few more than others but I still follow too many so I really don´t have time. Don´t want my brain to work too much do we? 😉 It can´t handle two thoughts at once as it is right now. Me = always confused...
