Smallville Season 8 Episode 9

Had a real busy night last night, my wireless internet connection has been real crazy, barely staying alive for a couple of seconds before disconnecting itself over and over the last couple of days, I've been trying everything I can to try and remedy the situation, but so far nothing seems to be working..Anyone out there got any ideas? its a Netgear WGR 614 V.4 router, and a D-link DWL G-520 internal PCI wireless adapter running on a windows computer... anyone?

On to this weeks episode of Smallville (as always, if you haven't seen it yet, LEAVE NOW) and what an episode it was, this season just seems to be getting better and better!

Chloe's super hacking brain gets a virus, slowly and suddenly all her memories are being removed so that she wouldn't be able to remember anything or anyone. The people and places she remembers get deleted. Jimmy is bringing Chloe breakfast in bed, but Chloe is really out of it, in a trance like state, until she wakes up in the present and has no idea who Jimmy is and jumps out of bed wanting him to leave.

Ok now If your fiancee couldn't remember who you were, where is the first place you'd go? The hospital? A family member of yours or your fiancee's? a psychiatrists? The police (that might be a bit extreme, what can they really do right? but hey, you're panicing) ? Jimmy heads straight to Clark (Ok, so he does that, but in the past he'd wonder why Chloe would always run to Clark when there was a problem too?) for help!

Chloe is equally stupid, She goes to to Metropolis General Hospital (that was a smart thing) not as a patient though, but posing as a med student looking for the library to study amnesia herself... HEY CHLOE!!! LEAVE THAT STUFF TO PROFESSIONALS!!!! Interestingly enough, she does recognize Davis still (wonder why?)

Clark pays her a visit, and she's acting strange. She pretends to remember things about people, but like it was being read of a list or script...He finds a room filled with an in-depth map of Chloe Sullivan's life to help her remember things. As crazy as she's acting, she's smart enough to recognize what's happening - she's being taken over by Brainiac. Her memories are being replaced by Kryptonian symbols, including one that stands for “doom.” As in “Doomsday.”

Clark hatches a plan to take the Blue Crystal to rebuild the Fortress of Solitude to get Jo-rel's help, but as they're speaking, Chloe loses her memory of seeing Clark catch a car, thus discovering his abilities. Now she has no idea who Kal-El and Brainiac are, or that Clark has super powers.

He speeds off to rebuild the Fortress, that giant cool looking ice building in the arctic that Kal-El calls home. Jor-El welcomes him home, but Clark gets all pissy with his dad about having trust issues. It's amazing how Smallville can turn an intergalactic conversation with a disembodied voice into a stereotypical scene of a teenage boy whining that his dad needs to back off and give him some space.

Davis stops by the apartment hoping to talk to Chloe, but he runs into Jimmy instead, so the paramedic tells him he won’t be able to attend the wedding. Jimmy heads off to Kent Farm where he’s disappointed that Chloe still doesn’t remember him, (yet somehow she knows what Facebook is? I'm just saying... I guess the things that are truly most important to you, stay with you.)

Jimmy takes Chloe to the hospital to get an MRI. Chloe loses another memory, this time of the first time she befriended Clark, which takes us back to an adorable scene of young Clark and young Chloe. He gets her a book she wants, and young Chloe gives him a little kiss. The virus starts deleting this memory, so young Chloe runs far, far away to escape the Brainiac virus eating up her memories. Needless to say, it’s a flawed plan that doesn't work.

She runs to her memory of the Daily Planet on Dark Thursday, the day at the end of season 5 when General Zod escaped the Phantom Zone and released Brainiac’s computer virus that caused a worldwide blackout. That memory vanishes too, and all that’s left now for her, is Davis. I’m getting the sense that Davis being General Zod’s son is only the beginning of the plans Smallville has for Doomsday.

Back in the real world, Chloe finds Davis, the only thing she remembers other than her own name. He takes her back to her apartment, and she’s angry that Davis betrayed her trust. She’s scared of Jimmy and Clark, but Davis knocks her unconscious with an injection. Clark flies her off to the Fortress and begs Jor-El to restore her memories, except for the things about about Krypton.

The world is back to normal, with Chloe and Jimmy going over their wedding’s seating arrangement. Clark stops by, and Chloe calls him “the best looking best man in town.” Jimmy must have no real friends if Clark is his best man.

She runs out to pay for the flowers when she finds Davis, who confesses that he’s not coming to the wedding because he’s in love with her. Dude, this is getting to be a bit stalker-ish. He’s only known her for a few weeks and he’s talking about the connection between them already?. He kisses her, and after taking a second to enjoy it, Chloe tells him to stop (Hey Chloe, something inside you made you at least kiss him back momentarily instead of smacking him right away...think about it) He vows that he won’t give up.

This weeks episode ends with the line: DOOMSDAY HAS ARRIVED

I loved this episode, this season is making me wish this wasn't the last
