Allison Mack Leaving Smallville - Few Episodes Left

I'm glad Beeman spoiled Allison leaving Smallville - with the state of the show now, I can't see it going anywhere but down come season 10. Everyone is clearly phoning it in from writers to Tom Welling and it shows with the fall in ratings and quality.

One thing I am pretty thrilled about Beeman spilling made me think that Allison will look at the ad as the real evidence of what her work and Chloe meant to fans and not the crap the show heaped on her for s9 and I'm sure will heap on her for s10. It's a great goodbye to give to her and for that I am glad.

:D

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Thank [frick], thank [frick], thank [frick]!

AWESOME find dude, this just made my YEAR!

; D

Good, I didn't want to watch that train wreck any longer. So long Smallville!

I'd love to see Mack in some big, big movies.

To be frank, I was happy to hear what Beeman had to say in his blog about Allison Mack potentially having a reduced role next season. It's been a rumor for awhile, but Beeman just confirmed it. Not only that, he made it clear that Allison was the one "choosing" to do less.

I think this is a great thing for her and for SMALLVILLE. Allison, like her good friend and former co-star Kristin Kreuk, is an decent enough actress that she should be able to find work. However, as Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum have demonstrated, it can be hard finding that next gig after leaving SMALLVILLE. Doing less episodes would allow Mack the flexibility of a paying job while also freeing her up to explore her options in order to make a smoother transition from the show completely. I don't know if she can really find much success--certainly not as a leading lady--but I can see her in supporting roles in indie films for sure.

In addition, her performance and her character on the show, in my opinion has deteriorated in recent seasons. I honestly can say I dislike the character of Chloe Sullivan very much and think the show would be better without her. From my point of view, her time has come and gone, and the purposes she serves now can easily be served by other characters; Dr. Emil Hamilton, for example.

So even without blogs, commercials, and rumors, I'd say it was a smart decision all around for Mack to only remain on the show in a diminished capacity.

nsz @ I know ppl liked her (WTF ANIL lol?) but come onnnnn, she never had a real place in the SUPERMAN world!

It was too chic flick sh1t lol!

I don't mind DURANCE lol, LOIS is supposed to be that way!

But I'm sorry for those that do not like the news!


DAVE @ Cool!! : P

HALLELUJAH!! HALLELUJAH!!

I love Chloe and am bummed that she's leaving just when her story was getting interesting again. With that said, now's probably a good time to hop on a career life raft given the ratings.

I was lured back by the Chloe/Ollie bit, and when Supes isn't dangling women off buildings I can actually appreciate most of the story. So I'm not going to boycott if she's gone. I just doubt I'll have any compelling reason to waste DVR space (I'm certainly not giving up my Friday nights) if the draw's not there for me.

I prefer to stick to comics and the Donner movies for my Superman fix.

oooh there is a god CANT WAIT TILL SHE [frick]ING GONE!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY :D

Damnit! Chloe was my favorite character!

For all of you cheering, screw you. Damn lore monkeys...

I am tired of Clark Apologizing to Chloe. I would love if for next season they reveal that Chloe actually died back in Season three. ( i think it was three) and somehow was part of the whole darkseid invasion. Then Clark could just kill her. Maybe do to her what he did to those Rao towers.

I dont see why people get mad about Clark and other heroes developing slowly. Superman doesn't even come into the picture untill his thirties and what the show has done is finally given a modern adaptation of his life from high school to Mild Mannered reporter/ Man of steel. Clark in the show has gone through three years of high school, four years of college and at least three or four years on his own. So 3 yrs in hs+4yrs in college+3yrs on his own=10yrs, which looks to be about oh the end of season 9 and the beginning of season 10. I think the show has done very well in the sense that its trying to fill in a missing piece of narrative.

I think the problem with Chloe is that they exaggerate her worth. It's cool that she's a tech genius, but how did she become so versed to run Watchtower? Braniac made her smart, but she dumbed down after that but now it's like she never dumbed down. Did she have all of the vast knowledge that she has now before Braniac? I don't think so. And being that smart and having it ripped away from you should do more damage than what it has been mentally. And all of the stupid stuff Clark has to ask Chloe about...he should be able to figure it out for himself. He does become a world renowned journalist. And an even better journalist than him is Lois. So Chloe's role is really exaggerated to give Chloe more air time and I think they should spend Allison's salary on something more productive like fight scenes.

And then she has no business being with Oliver. It's just a waste of time. I so wish she would have hooked up with that Stewart guy. They would have been so cute and it would have solved another problem for me. Chloe kind of needs to get her own life.

And people say Chloe's character has been deteriorating because it's true. It's been more than season 9. Her relationship with Davis was insane and it really ticked me off that she claimed she did it all for Clark and everyone believed her. She's the reason why her marriage started to fail.

And she flip flops. How many times did she tell Clark to fight for Lana, to leave Lana, she threatened Lana, told Clark to fight for Lana again. She doesn't give great advice, including telling Clark that he should lead his people on another plane of existence (that no one was sure what it would be like).

Chloe fans should just be glad she didn't die in the finale, she made it to season 10, and she's going to get a resolved story line that doesn't involve her dying.
