Sorry for my late review of "Knight"......i was very busy, but finally today i take my time and wow i really really liked it..i give it 9  and i really need to have time to read Trinity... I would love if Chris decide to bring Tess back into the world of living..yeah..just forget about Finale in smallville.. Now lets back to our favorite blonde... Since when Chloe knows how to fight and use guns? i really think she starts to be a little haughty, i can really understand why Oliver had a moment of panic and fear about their future..... i really hope to see our Chloe back...i don't like her too much in those 2 first episodes....  while reading the first part of the show i have to admit i was all..but where is my favorite hero? where is green arrow?? i felt like he was left behind...and i was happy when you finally gave him something to do... i really hope to see him more in action in the future... I'm also starting to like Selina....i found her story very interesting Bruce...i loved him...he is really funny...and i really enjoyed all his interaction....i hope we will see him more and more in the future!!! thank youuuu very much.... |

Sorry for my late review of "Knight"......i was very busy, but finally today i take my time and wow i really really liked it..i give it 9 Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! xD I think both shows would contribute a great deal if Tess were involved. She's a really intriguing, mysterious character at times, and trying to figure out what's going on inside her mind would be really fun. I hope Chris is able to weave Tess into the fantastic storyline he's telling on Trinity, and hope she can pop up on WT as well. Chloe was shown to be very skilled in hand-to-hand combat throughout the series of 'Smallville' but more noticably in "Collateral," "Masquerade" and "Fortune" of Season Ten - which also includes her 'knowing how to handle a gun.' I think Chloe and Oliver are having some problems, which sort of continue to get fleshed out and shown until it reaches the climax (around episode four). You'll see Chloe get back to her roots a little more sooner rather than later. xD This was a huge episode for Bruce, in particular, so having Oliver being so active as 'the Green Arrow' would sort of take away from that. I think you'll be happy with Oliver in the coming episodes, he has a lot to do, 'hero' wise - especially in the most recent episode "Lockdown." So stay tuned. xD Thank you! I'm having a blast fleshing out Selina's character! Bruce will be around all season (all 22 episodes). So you'll definitely be seeing more of him!! xD Thank you for reviewing, and I can't wait to see what you think about the other episodes to come! |

Let me just tell you how EXTREMELY promising this season looks right now... I mean, BTVS Season Two-quality (which has been called one of the best tv seasons). This episode is no exception; it had SO MUCH meat to it, from nice character development, Selina Kyle's hilarious comments (and I think I can at this point officially call myself a fan of her), the action... and (the thing that I loved the most in this one) the return of TWO-FACE! My god, did I not expect that, despite spotting the actor's name among the guest stars xD (pretty stupid of me, lol). Poor Helena... I'm really feeling for that girl and what she's gone through and will have to go through now. Though I'm a little surprised at the rabid reaction of the citizens, pulling down the door and all... Overall, another wonderful episode filled with moments. 10/10. Wow, thank you! Another 10/10. It really means a lot, and I'm glad you're enjoying the season so far! This episode did a lot for Helena's character, in particular, as she has to sort of deal with the repercussions of this mysterious threat's act. The city now knows who she is, but, have painted her to be a terrorist. It was a fun idea that sort of hit me as soon as I decided to run with the whole "I want a normal life" arc. Just as Helena is escaping the past, it catches up to her, and now her past is known to everyone. Can she really start over? I'm so happy to hear that you're a fan of Selina now! She's been such a fun character to write for, and introducing some of that backstory, and linking her up to a lot of the mythology has been a blast. I have taken my own interpretation of the character, and so I've been hoping people who read and follow the show will embrace this new version of her. I'm happy that people have. So far, what's been acknowledged about her is that she's had a rough, edgy past prior to working at Gotham Daily, and more of that gets explored as she sort of comes closer and closer towards the spotlight. So, I'm glad that you've become a fan of her, especially before all the big twists and turns start taking place for that character. And Two-Face was definitely something I wanted to keep quiet prior to airing the episode. I have way too much fun spoiling things for the show, but I felt this was something that would have more of an impact if it was unexpected. Like you weren't reading the script going "when is two-face coming into this..." It was a bit of a last minute decision - I wanted to tie it all up, and I felt that there needed to be more of a continuing story with Wesley Oyer. So I decided that I could bring Two-Face in, who would get involved with everything and carry out his plans of getting vengeance for what Bruce was "apparently responsible" for. Thanks again for the review, I gotta stop this rant before it takes over the entire thread with its size ... The whole "citizens becoming rabid" was going to be explained more in some scenes that I decided to take out -- it was originally broadcasting over and over again, giving them more time to sort of get to the house and be angry and trashing everything. But then it dragged too long, and I couldn't have everyone watching the TV at once, so I decided to go with Perry doing it right then and there, and then things setting off straight away. Despite Helena not always pulling in double digits for her screentime, her arc is definitely a major one that is crucial to the central plot of the season. xD Thanks! |

Chloe was shown to be very skilled in hand-to-hand combat throughout the series of 'Smallville' but more noticably in "Collateral," "Masquerade" and "Fortune" of Season Ten - which also includes her 'knowing how to handle a gun.' yeah I know in season 10 of Smallville Chloe was shown more combative, especially in fortune and masquerade..but i was thinking more about Chloe in "Watchtower", i mean in season 1 she was never shown so in action and so self-confident or maybe i remember wrong?  maybe only once when she wore Ollie's costume but that was an exceptional case... |

Oh, I understand what you're saying ... I think she hasn't been nearly as confident with her fighting this season as she was last season. I wanted to tone it down, because she was never meant to be the "expert fighter." That was never in Chloe's character. She can hold her own, for a while, but she's more a 'behind the scenes' girl. I wanted to put her in the middle of these situations too, but she's done much bolder things in the first season. I think in "Wonder" she tackled Lucia Silverstone out of the window up in Watchtower, and that building is taller than Wayne Enterprise, so she was basically free falling. She got into a pretty heavy hand-to-hand combat with Emil in the season finale "Apocalypse." Then there was "Deadshot" where she was slinging arrows in SLO-MO, fighting an expert gunsman on a rooftop that got pretty heated. I think it depends on what she's fighting for, like you said, when she took on Green Arrow's persona to stop Deadshot ... that was an exceptional case -- she was fighting for her possibly "soon-to-be-dead" lover. In Wonder she was fighting for the lives of the Wonder Twins, two kids with so much potential to become superheroes. And in "Apocalypse" she was fighting for the world. So far this season, these instances haven't been THAT great. But I haven't seen any of her fight scenes yet as 'big.' There was "Knight" where she tried to take down a thug but couldn't - she was thwarted and Helena was shot. And then the fight scene that included all three heroes (Watchtower, Green Arrow, and the Dark Knight). I think she's good at handling guns, which has been shown on both Watchtower and Smallville [mainly in the tenth season]. And yeah. I think Chloe, overall, has just become more experienced in the field. She is NOT an expert fighter, and more than likely she won't be able to overpower her attacker when alone, BUT she has grown more confident and fights harder. I think its a step in the right direction for her. xD |

while reading the first part of the show i have to admit i was all..but where is my favorite hero? where is green arrow?? i felt like he was left behind...and i was happy when you finally gave him something to do... i really hope to see him more in action in the future... When Mia Dearden returns in "Speedy" there'll be some great Green Arrow/Speedy team up action that I think you might like. There wasn't much Green Arrow stuff in Season Ten of Smallville so I understand the need to see more of him here, LOL. xD |

And I agree that Oliver/Green Arrow didn't get a whole lot to do in the final season of Smallville. I would have liked to see more Green Arrow stuff. There is a HUGE episode this season the reunites [highlight to see] the entire Justice League that will hold a lot of Green Arrow action too. |

D.D.-Since you're a Chloe and Oliver fan, what did you think of the pairing of Jimmy and Chloe? And was there a time when you wanted Chloe and Oliver to get together before they got together? Thoughts? In the sixth season when Jimmy was first introduced, it was right after Chloe and Clark kissed so at first I was really disappointed (I'm a huge Chlark fan!) but then after a while I sort of started to like them. I think they were that "cute" couple that sort of just worked. But then in Season Seven the producers tried to mature the relationship by introducing a lot of drama and making their relationship that of a 'serious' one, which IMO, it was never created to be that. By Season Eight I was actually rooting for them to break up. The idea of them getting married annoyed me because the way they were with each other ... Jimmy didn't treat Chloe right, is what I'm getting at. The producers matured it too much and although it did end with Jimmy's death, I prefered THAT to him being the man Chloe ended up with. I was a bit late to the 'Chlollie' game, to be honest. I liked the idea of them back in "Reunion" when Chloe was all: "Wow" in reference of Oliver. But I didn't really want it to happen until "Roulette" after that scene outside the cafe. Initially it was just me hoping and praying that the producers would give Chloe some more screentime and when I heard - from spoilers - she would get a relationship this season I was hoping and praying it was Oliver. They just worked. Then there was Stuart and Emil who were high contenders on the list that I was like: "Please. Don't pair Chloe up with them!" I've never been a huge shipper as the 'friendship' based relationships are much more interesting to me (Clark and Chloe, Clark and Tess). Originally I didn't really like Oliver. He sort of felt like the odd character out, being someone from his own line of comics but in this 'Superman' story. IMO, there was no friendship between Oliver and Clark, and when they tried to give them scenes where they acted like friends just felt really forced and out of character for them. They just seemed like co-workers, they both had different opinions, sometimes similar opinions, that they would share and discuss to get a job/task done. Clark asking him to be best man was so desperate -- if Pete or Lex were around, it'd be them, not Oliver. But I grew to like Oliver BECAUSE of Chloe. From "Roulette" onwards I became a Oliver fan, and then when they entered a relationship I liked him even more. He's a good, solid character. The way he was used in Season Ten was terrible though. He didn't get his own arc until "Masquerade" when it was revealed he had an Omega mark, then he disappeared for 3 episodes. Although I'm a huge Chlollie fan, I didn't like the fact that if you look at Oliver's arc, he basically had nothing to do other than "search" or "moan" about Chloe -- which, don't get me wrong, I loved. It was the only thing that carried me through till when Chloe returned. But his development was knocked because of his relationship with Chloe and keeping Chloe's spirit alive until Allison Mack returned. And I've ranted, so I'm going to end it here. Basically, I love Season Six "Chimmy" but hate it for the other two. And I became a Chlollie fan around "Roulette," but liked the idea of them since "Reunion." |

So here is the review for Knight. Sorry it took soo long Jack  I pretty much loved this episode . It made me happy that you brought in Batman aka The Dark Knight. I loved his interaction with eacch of the characters . Also in this episode i loved how you touched into Selina's past. I liked it. It made me want to know more. I also loved how you have her being the one getting kidnapped by the men when they thought that she was Chloe. Another thing I liked about this episode was the fact that Chloe and Helena finally ggot to hang out...even though it lead to her getting shot.lol. I also like the mention to Mia . Another thing i liked about this episode was the fact that after 4 years, Chloe and Ollie are finally moving in together. The ending of the episode with Falocne getting killed by the new player was really good. I just cant wait to find out who tthat is. What i disliked about this episode. Is how Ollie is down Chloe's back about trusting the Dark Knight. I swear it just irritated me everytime he kept running his mouth about her trust issues. Now onto the characters: Chloe: She is still a sassy Blond. I like how she was in this episode. I enjoyed how excited about "The Dark Knight" she got. It made me excited. Her relationships withh everyone in this episode was really tested, especially with Helena and Ollie. It sucks that Helena said goodbye to there friendship. I completely sympathize with Chloe. She is constantly losing everyone in her life and the fact that Helena thought about throwing away there friendship for something "normal" really makes me hate her. Ollie is once again breathing down his womans back. And im really surprised Chloe hasnt punched him out at all. Im glad her and Selina still dont get along . Im also glad Ollie and her moved in together...finally. Another thing i noticed about Chloe in this episode is that she is still deeply affected by the events of the future, considering she hasnt told anyone about it at all. Oliver: He really irritated me in this episode. Especially with his whole "trust" issues. I mean i understood where he was coming from but continuely throwing it in Chloe's face was starting to get on my last nerve. Especially since he is the only one to know that Emil is actually back and is really alive. I cant wait for that to come out. His convo with Bruce im guessing was hopefully foreshadowing for when Chloe finds out that he knew Emil was alive. I REALLY cant wait for that. But i do love how he is still Chloe's rock through all the hardships she has. Helena: She is really taking thiis whole, "Normal" life thing to new levels. I feel really bad for Chloe since Missy Helena told her to get lost. Im really not okay with that. It just isnt fair for Chloe to keep losing everyone. I hate that she is acting like she has to give up on her friends so she can have a normal life. I swear i want to punch her. Bruce: All i need to say for this dude is BAMF . I do like that he had good interactions with Chloe. Like i said with Ollie, there convo was pretty alright. I just feel like he needed to beat the crap out of Oliver. . He and Selina are still the coolest couple . I love the chemistry between them. I cant wait to see what happens next int here relationship. I like that he took WT's database aswell. I hope that comes in handy later on Selina: She is still an enigma wrapped in an enigma. Im just waiting for it all to be played out. I do like how even though she is kidnapped and damsel in distress she is still abble to kick ass. Maybe Season 9 and 10 Lois should take a page from Selina . I like how she killed Falcone's son. It was very interesting to see she would kill someone. I still think Bruce is still a good foil for her. Perry: Didnt have much of a role in this one. I do love that he got excited about WT being back. I do hope Perry wont do anything stupid in the future. Guido: I dont really care for him.lol. He doesnt really peak my intrest. Although it does surprise me that he works for Bruce. I wonder if that will lead to any trouble for him Mia: Still M.I.A. I do love the mention though. She is/and always will be my favorite character QUESTIONS 1. Now the team Chloe was referring to: Does she mean the League or her team in Gotham? 2. So Chloe suspects Emil is alive how long wwill she keep thinkingg that? 3. Why did you choose now to have Chloe and Ollie move in together 4. So the blacksuit Selina was wearing, is that an allusion to a certain someone who has a whip and wears leather that might appear later on? 5. So since Bruce has Chloe's WHOLE database, does that mean he knows the identities of GA, Clark, the league and Helena? 6. So why did you decide to have Helena cutt Chloe out of her life? 7. Will everyone find out what exactly happened to Chloe when she went to the future or was it not really that important? 8. Now the comment of "Blind Faith" was that about Emil only or about when Chloe was defending Davis from everyone else in S8 or what Chloe was doing S9 9. The real question I want to know is if Ollie trusts Chloe? 10. Will everyone find out that Falcone is dead anytime soon? ALL IN ALL. I loved the episode 10/10 A+ The review for LockDown is next. |

LOCKDOWN Sorry its late So heres what i have to say. This episode opened alot of avenues for future episodes. The one thing i hated was Lucius Fox getting killed. That is just mean . The Chloe and Oliver relationship once again gets into another speed bump with Ollie trying to get Chloe to relax. of course that leads to an arguement which leads to Chloe finding out Bruce is with Selina. I found that scene to be the most entertaining.lol. Another thing I liked about this episode is how Ollie gave Helena the speech about how you dont give up and forget your friends. Guido still irritated me in this episode. Especially in this episode. I liked that Chloe adn Helena became friends again. I really enjoyed that. The next thing i enjoyed was how Selina and Bruce are officially an item. I especially love how Bruce has really strong feelings for Selina. It makes me smile. With Perry, I enjoyed him usiing the Helmet again. Although now i cant wait for the later episodes for the ramifications behind using the helmet. Now that Helena is Gotham's most wanted, I cant wait to see how thhat plays out for everyone else. And how Bruce, Chloe, and Ollie are going to deal with this. CHARACTERS: Chloe: She is the same as always. Dealing with each crisis day by day. I loved how she and Selina can always have a confrontation that is always fun and hilarious. I did enjoy the fact that she once again shows off her martial arts prowess again . Her and Bruce's convo about there relationships was well needed because i always felt that Chloe would get with Batman instead of Ollie. BUt i guess Smalllville wanted Ollie instead. Her and Ollie making up was cute and funny. I also loved how she quit the Gotham Daily. Somehow I knew it was going to be either her or Selina that quit the paper when i saw that spoiler for it. And I liked that she ripped Perry a new one about giving up and not making a choice. I cant wait to see what happens next. Oliver: Once again being the big man in this rrelationship . He and Chloe always seem to fight. They need to stop doing that . Him ripping into Helena about helping was nice. I was glad to see that. I also liked that he posed as a SWAT guy to break into the building and tried to save Chloe. I liked that. Helena: I felt bad for her. Her life did a complete 180 by the end of the episode and she ended up a wanted criminal and her father ditched her. I really hope that the gang can help her through this. Especially Ollie, since he has been through this before. I did like that her and Chloe became friends again. Selina: I basically loved her interactions with Chloe. I also loved her and Bruce's convo about becoming more than a lusting sexual relationship type deall. Like i said before, Bruce is a really good foil for Selina's character and I cant wait to see what happens next. Bruce: It sucks that all his issues are always coming back to bite him in the ass. . I really liked his and Chloe's conversations. He is also really calm in this episode for being in a lockdown. I found that very fun. I also like his convo with Selina. Bruce and Selina are really starting to get to be a fantsastic couple that i am looking out for. Perry: WOW. He has completely just did a 180 for me aswell. First he uses the Helmet ONCE again and it ONCE again gives him a darkened vision of the future. Then he gets kidnapped and forced to expose Helena to the world. Effectively ending Chloe and His Friendship . I feel really bad for the guy. I just hate that he was kidnapped by the MEN IN BLACK. I wonder who they were. :/. What i did like was that Perry has gotten wise and got a gun. I really enjoyed that. Guido: Irritation...that is all Mia: Still waiting for her QUESTIONS 1. So why did you Pick Helena to have her identity ruined? 2. Will the gang find out where the helmet is and take it back? 3. Why did you kill Lucius? 4. Has Chloe told everybody what exactly happened in the future she went to? 5. Will Nabu's Helmet play into any future episodes? 6. So since Helena is now public enemy number one will everyone go after WT next? 7. I totally forgot to ask this question in the last review but does Chloe have a certain outfit for going out into the field with Ollie and the others? 8. So since Lucius is dead who will make Bruce's Gear? 9. Why did you pick Perry as the one the MEN IN BLACK went after? 10. And hopefully will we get a look into how Ollie was able to get the public off his ass for being GA? 11. Will Bruce and Selina and Chloe and Ollie ever go on a double date? 12. Do the MEN IN BLACK know about the Helmet of Nabu and the League? ALL IN ALL I LOVED THIS EPISODE 10/10 A+ Keep it cooming |

What i disliked about this episode. Is how Ollie is down Chloe's back about trusting the Dark Knight. I swear it just irritated me everytime he kept running his mouth about her trust issues. I think Oliver has good reason to discuss this with Chloe. What I didn't want to do was have this season start with everyone having moved on with what happened last season with Emil - especially with Emil playing a role in this season's story arc. There were ramifications of those events, and one of those being something that is getting between Chloe and Oliver's relationship. Chloe is trusting this new vigilante just because he's 'saved' her once, but then he turns around and steals from her and Oliver doesn't understand what her faith in him is. From my perspective, I think Oliver has a point and that scene with him running his mouth was more or less about him getting all of that off his chest. They have a few issues but as these episodes play out, you'll see them working through every last one of them to step off at the end happy and content and in love. The Helena/Chloe friendship was something I really wanted to tug out in the first few episodes. Chloe has tried to be normal, but has realised that being normal is so abnormal for her that she becomes a completely different person. Helena, on the other hand, wants to be normal so she can have a long, happy life with her newfound family (Guido) and friends - of which she took Chloe out of that equation because of all the bad things that tend to happen around her. It was fun to write, and these two haven't really been tested all that much. I've always loved writing characters to their breaking points and then bringing them back to see how they've changed and how they'll cope. Their friendship is being tested a LOT in the first half of the season. No matter how many times they disagree or agree, Oliver will always be there for Chloe, and vice versa. They're at a point in their relationship where they've been through so much together that some of that is getting between them. They know each other so well, so they know one another's flaws, and working in the business of saving people and protecting the world sometimes they need to call each other out on it. The whole "Oliver keeping Emil's secret" thing will eventually come out, but its a lot different than what you think is going to happen. So stay tuned for that! The database will definitely come in handy. But whether or not Bruce knows just how much information is stored on there AND how to access it ... it'll take some time before Bruce really figures everything out and realises he's not the only hero out there - there are dozens upon dozens. There was a lot of setup in this episode that will be revealed before this first run is over. I think you won't see it coming and that it will come as quite a shock. As for Selina, she has been getting into a lot of trouble so far in her run on Watchtower, but she's a fighter and I'm glad you like the fact she can kick ass. Her past credits her with a lot of backstory and elements that are fun to explore. She's definitely been a fun addition to the show. Guido is a very minor, series regular character. He's there to support his daughter, Helena, and will slowly become more of a presence as the season goes on. I think at first its shaky waters because he's a character we don't really know about, but is always there in the background. I decided to bump his character up to series regular because he is in almost every episode, despite only grabbing a few minutes of ST. He's in pretty much the whole season, and so hopefully you'll warm up to him. I'm not sure I remember the refernce. But seeing as the "League" hasn't been referenced, like, EVER on this show, I'm guessing she means the team in Gotham. That make more sense. But again, you'd have to send me the reference because these things usually pop up mid-writing and if it IS a reference to the JLA or something from Smallville I probably didn't notice it when writing, LOL. Emil returns in "Fear." That's when Chloe starts to get involved in his story. Whether or not she finds out he's alive or not, well I don't want to give it away. There are a lot of milestones between Chloe and Oliver this season, and moving together is the first of many. They have never really lived together, depite not really sleeping of a night anyway with the lives they lead, and it was more of a symoblic thing. Them saying they're moving in together was solidifying their relationship -- they're not pulling away from each other, they're not breaking up, they're really in it for the win now. The decision came up in the rewrites when I had Chloe's apartment trashed - originally she was going to be cleaning it up in the next episode but that felt too boring and plain so I decided it was the perfect excuse to put Chloe and Oliver in the same apartment (which I have no idea why they were living in separate apartments in the first place, but hey ... its been fixed, LOL). It was more a 'theif' costume. It may be alluding to her future alter ego, it may not. Stay tuned (*wink*) HAHA. The answer to that is somewhere above .... It had a lot to do with Helena's "normal" life. She wanted to be normal from here on in, but can she truly do that when her past literally comes back to bite her in the ass? Its fun, I mean, this arc will play out all season and this was something I wanted to do eventually. I decided to do it earlier on rather than later and seeing how Helena copes with the public opinion and all of the nonsense that goes with it has been fun to write. Helena was the more likely choice because she had turned her back on the "Huntress" and that part of her live was over ... or so she thought, until NOW. You'll learn soon enough if people know about it or not. It was primarily about Emil, but if you read the "Davis" stuff into it, then it could possibly be about that too. I don't think Oliver has held a huge grudge againt her about that. The whole "Davis" thing does get brought up in an upcoming episode, but its more about Chloe herself, rather than someone holding it to her. Yes. He loves her. He understands her. He gets her. That cliffhanger is a very important aspect that pops up later in the season. So don't Falcone's death as it will show up with more relevance later in the story. Thanks Karl! |

I found that scene to be the most entertaining.lol. With Lucius, there really needed to be a casualty that would sort of build up the suspense of the episode. After creating that whole 'elevator' scenerio, it was just a matter of figuring out who would fall victim and how it would work. Lucius was added to the story much later, and I think he got a pretty good send off. He got to play a little bit of hero, and we got to see him working out the situation. It was something unexpected that I hoped elevated the level of suspense of the situation. Another reason for his death was mainly that he was integrated into the show as someone who helped Bruce with the suit and the gadgets for 'The Dark Knight.' And that was sort of his role this whole time. He was introduced back in Season One as a sort of nod to that, and then once the Dark Knight was introduced he was either going to be someone the lurked in the background and eventually left Wayne Enterprises, or I could put him in an episode where he'd get a pretty decent story and a shocking send off. So there was thought behind his death. I'm not sure how Guido plays a big enough role to irritate you, LOL. He's being written as a support figure for Helena and someone there for her and there to support her decisions. He supported her when she decided to cut Chloe out of her life and he supported her when she decided to bring her back in her life. Its fun to have a character on the show IS normal and ISN'T a hero or sucked up in this world of reporters, villains, and superpowers. And, OMG. I love writing Bruce and Selina. I'm so glad that you enjoy them, I was cared people would think they're being rushed, but it all will add up in the end. Its been a blast! My funnest part of the episode was writing that final Chloe/Perry scene. Chloe is watching the man he admired for so long just throw someone's life away without so much as a look of hesitation of regret, and she can't bare it. Chloe has strong morals and strong beliefs and her quitting was definitely something I toyed with and struggled to come to a decision about until the rewrites. I think it serves as a good build up for "Arkham" which has a strong Chloe/Perry theme involved. Actually, she ditched Guido. Guido was thinking about protecting Helena and trying to keep her safe but all Helena could think about was her life here, and her friends, and she knew that she couldn't just leave that all behind. She took off leaving Guido to fend for himself. It was sad. Whether or not they'll find each other again is something you should stay tuned for. I've had a lot of fun writing Helena/Guido scene. Layering that Father/Daughter relationship has been a lot of fun. And I'm happy that you liked the Chloe/Helena make up! Perry is definitely a character that has been swept up in the whole crazy world that Chloe leads. From the Fate Helmet to THIS ... it was nice putting him in a situation where he would have to make a sacrifice. He basically had to sacrifice Helena's life for Chloe's, not because he knows Chloe or sees her as a daughter but because Chloe's WATCHTOWER and he has a lot of faith in what Watchtower is doing for this city. And Perry could never tell her that because then Chloe would feel as though its all her fault so he's shocked how its all turned out for him. He's lost a friend, he's ruined someone's life, and he's basically all alone now. And yes, it was very smart of him to get a gun, HAHA. LOL. I don't understand ... *screams at the heavens* Her FINAL episode will air soon! xD |

I love reading your reviews, you're always so kind! I'm really happy that you're liking Chloe more and more after not enjoying her that much at the start of the season. It would be hard to read the show if you disliked the main character, so that makes me very happy you liked her better in this episode. That scene between Chloe and Oliver was one of my favourites from this episode that I got to write - the whole reunion scene where he covers her mouth from screaming and then pulls off the mask to reveal himself to her. It was really fun. I love writing the sweet Chlollie moments rather than the 'arguments' and 'disagreements.' About Chloe and Bruce, Chloe wasn't "jealous" as much as she was upset that of all the people Bruce could date in this city he happened to fall for the one woman that gets on Chloe's nerves: Selina. And gah, I'm so happy! You're liking Chloe again and now you're liking the Bruce/Selina relationship too! Yay! It really means a lot. I hope you stay tuned to see how it all fleshes out in the next few episodes! And as for Chloe's relationships with Perry and Helena, there's a lot of great stuff coming up for them that I can't wait for you to read! Thanks again, Gamila! |
