Day 19 - A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?

There's more than one answer to so many of these questions, this one is no exception, but the one pair I can remember wishing would get together from almost Day One, way past the point where it ever really would've happened, was Chloe & Lex.



From episode 1, Chloe Sullivan was my favourite character in Smallville. I could identify way more with the spunky wannabe-reporter than the perfect princess that was Lana Lang. Chloe loved Clark, so for her sake I wanted Chlark to happen... for all of five minutes! Then I realised she and Lex Luthor would make a much better pairing! Clark was too dumb and oblivious for a girl like Chloe. She needed someone smarter, older, that could match her wit and intelligence, and keep her on her toes. Lex had plenty of arm candy, but they usually bored him. He needed a challenge, and someone to keep him in line when he looked like he was gonna step over. Like most Chlexers (Chloe/Lex shippers) I believed that Chloe could save Lex from the darkside... or that maybe he might drag her into his underworld, 'cause that would've been fine too ;-)

Of course, the writers screwed up everything. Season 3 things were looking good, Chloe & Lex were getting really close, then suddenly from Season 4 on it was like they were never even friends. Later they became enemies and then Lex was killed off... I gave up watching Smallville and lived only on fanfic and fanvids. My hearts not really in it anymore, but for 7 years or more, I was a hardcore Chlex shipper.

I hate when my ships never get together. I always prefer ships that have a little spunk and fire to them, too. Which is why I tend to like supporting characters more than the stars.

Yes indeed. The main characters romances are to Romeo & Juliet most of the time. The supporting characters tend to be more interesting, usually.

Hmm I don't know much about this show called Smallville. I think it was about a young Clark Kent on his path to Superman. Never panned out from what I heard. I was too busy paying attention to the show where Chloe and Lex steamed up the screen, and I remember them totally hooking up and doing evil things to Clark, Lana and Lois. Yep, that is what happened. :P
