I also think Clark should have been given at least some lines in reciprocity--even if just a 'you look lovely'. Seriously. As hot as Welling is, I still think he's a poor actor (sorry, I know you feel differently) and the show relies way too much on him giving the puppy dog eyes to convey emotion, but I think he tends to look a little blank/confused a lot of the time instead. Give the boy some dialogue.
The 'maybe' is the operative word there! My own theory is that if this season is the last, they will not have much consummation of the Clois relationship. Definitely a kiss for Feb sweeps but probably no official "in a relationship" ending. I think they will try to leave the show with the key elements of the mythology where the movies begin in place: Lois in love with Clark/Superman (not sure how they'll fix this part--maybe it'll be a love triangle?!) and Clark being somewhat oblivious because he needs to be saving the world.
I am in the 5% of people that were thrilled that Chloe 'absolved' Clark because I do think it would feel like a weight lifted for her. But I am just sad we didn't get to see happy Chloe for longer. I'm sure it's true and she does feel unburdened, but from a meta standpoint it made me a little angry because I think if Chloe had full knowledge of what happened she wouldn't be thanking him. She would welcome the burden, she as much as said so last week. (Of course, that's a really weird Catch-22 if you parse it, "if she knew what she didn't know and why she didn't know it, she'd be pissed!" Eh).
I too would have liked one more scene of happy bridal Chloe, perhaps in exchange for Lois petting the suit. Seriously.
Either way, I kind of can't wait for January. Never thought I'd be saying that about Smallville!
