It's just...like you I was really angry with Clark when he didn't tell Lex about his missing memories. I gave him a pass because I could accept it came from a mistake of youth.
however, if Clark had the choice now, about whether to tell Lex...if Lionel was the Lionel in season 3, he probably would tell Lex because he would be able to deal with Lionel. Brainiac is a COMPUTER. No matter how many time Clark defeats him (and how many times has Clark 'killed' him, it's got to be two or three by my count) he'll always come back.
And I can see how Clark would think that having Chloe not knowing his secret would make her safe. Brainiac, targaeted everyone who knew: Martha, Chloe, Lana, even Lex were all targeted by brainiac, because they in Clark's inner circle, or because they were drawn to him (investigation into aliens and that) And it always infuriates me when people gloss over that knowing Clark is dangerous. Lois is the only one I can think of right now and that's because she's not privy to his secret. It wouldn't surpirse me if Brainiac targeted the Justice League.
But on another note, when Jor-El told Clark that he would be there for him, and Clark called him 'Father'. I teared up- I won't lie. It got me right in the heart. I have my issues with Jor-El and the AI, but it's wonderful to know that Clark has someone. Even if he is a supercomputer in a block of ice.
