What The Heck? What's Going? Why is the Brain dude erasing her memories for? I wonder if she will get em all back or if she can fight for em? __________________

No, I'm just slow lately. I looked at the pictures and thought to myself Clark's at the Fortress again, but then when I read your comment I remembered that the Fortress was destroyed. I can't believe I forgot that. I keep taking memory vitamins but I still keep forgetting stuff. Can't remember what they are called. __________________
haha...its good 2 c the Fortress back up!!! __________________

I just heard the brain shrinks after 60. That isn't something to look forward to.But hey! We all forget stuff!! Hey! Speaking of brain flips--Did Chloe kill that dude at the end of last nites show? If so, that is a first, isn't it?

If that were actually Chloe, yep, definitely a first.
He/She/it gave a nice speech about overloading for a crash before the grip of doom changed his eye color. If anything, he's not well but he shouldn't be dead either. __________________

Last I checked computers don't have a gender--unless you program one into it. But then again, highly advanced computers do have a gender in the DC universe (Brainiac 5). Food for thought.
I believe he's a vegtable, brain dead, but the body is still functioning. __________________

What is the basis of your surmising that may not actually be Chloe? The seeming act of her actaully having the capacity to kill? Killing would really be a leap when she is a healer. Do you think she is already in control of Brainiac? Interesting!

she's not controlling brainiac.
I think brainiac is either controlling her, or subconsciously directing her. __________________

I believe he was a parasite program for the time being and Chloe just transferred him to the memory eraser at his command. That guy isn't dead so much as possessed(for lack of a better term). My first clue was last season's finale when Brainiac did the memory tap and she gave off that light coccoon(I believe I voted this as the most intriguing or exciting thing about that episode as well-maybe best cliffhanger or something).
One thing we might be overlooking is that Chloe did that of her own free will to protect herself from anyone knowing about her power that she doesn't want to know. It is probably all Brainiac's doing, which would be commonplace by now and even expected. It would actually be quite interesting(at least to me) to see Chloe dip a little into the darkside, considering her numerous criminal exploits she's already done(hacking computers, breaking and entering, etc). Her character has alot more potential now than I can previously remember.
Aero:Brainiac's 'identity' goes by the name of Milton which would be a male name, hence Brainiac's a him for sake of argument or just reference. As a sentient program we can refer to it as 'it'. __________________

I don't get it why does Chloe have to suffer. Why is the Brain dude after her. I mean I know he tried to get her but her powers rejected him, I just don't understand why they are picking her for. I hope she can get all her memories back. __________________

The Bible is so powerful. It's not to be left on your shelf. It's to outline even the simplest scriptures that can mean so much in building yourself up.
"I am God's workmanship." (Ephesians 2:10)
"I have been redeemed and forgiven." (Colossians 1:14)
"I am the salt and the light of the earth." (Matthew 5:13-14)
It's been 'poor Chloe' since the series premier-whether her love for Clark was the issue, or protecting him or her battle with the Luthors or her Mother's condition or her recent relationship rollercoaster with Jimmy-this is just the newest chapter.
Something tells me she might be better off after this episode if she did permanently forget a few things, a few inconvenient or really tragic things....just a thought. __________________

Hey! It is "poor everybody" Nobody's happy!
I think of POSITIVITY & STRENGTH when I think SUPERMAN. And I know he supposedly battles crime,(so WHY is it all "monstrosities and sludge characters")--the REAL USA "underworld crime syndacate" slant is MISSING from Superman, it was in movies and comics.etc. I would love to see some "up to date", maybe news related, non-fantasy episodes, why not something real and relevent dealing with National Security issues?
If only there could be someting upbeat. A wedding!! Ahhh maybe ONE "happy ending"??? Yeah!
AND SO-- the wedding HAS TO end up--HOW??
Horrific. Noooooooooooo!

Will Chloe be saved without losing her memories of the last 3-4 years (i.e. the real Clark Kent)?? I hope not. __________________
Did anyone else get the episode pre-empted for a football game??? __________________

Hey! This WAS a good episode, and the best so far for me. I am not nuts about NOW we gotta have "Doomsday" on top of enough "troubles", but--I'll wait and see how it goes.

I give this episode two thumbs up!
Great special effects. Loved how the tractor flew up out of the barn roof when Chloe's memories started to disappear. __________________
