^ I must've missed that but yeah I'm realizing that the stand in must be him. Also does anyone think that Chloe actually remembers Clark being an alien or was she talking about something else? She didn't actually say it when he asked her.

I actually noticed how vague her statements were, and I think it's cool we have no idea. But in general I think it's safe to assume that this is just a Voyager-style reset and Clark can just mull over in private what an ass he was to play god with her head.
Well she said
" Are we talking about your secret ? What in the world would make me forget that ? It would take a lot more than Brainiac to wipe that from my brain "
I don't see what else she would be talking about. I think it's safe to assume that Chloe is back to remembering everything, thank god.
The way she said that though sounded kind of vauge and even Clark's reaction to her statement seemed unsure at best. I'm not sure that this plot has been resolved yet. I would like to think that it has been since I wasn't a fan of the memory wipe in the first place. I understand what Clark was trying to achieve but it's better that Chloe knows who he is. Also just to be snide with you...the Jor-El simulcrum IS a lot more than Brainiac, although Brainiac did say as well that Clark's father was gone, offline as it were. I wonder if they'll touch on this later since Doomsday has emerged from the crysalis.
I wonder what's the deal with Doomsday/Davis now.
After all he didn't stay as long as he was supposed to inside the chrysalis, did he ? Brainiac's deactivation released him early.
Maybe because of his early release he can now turn from Davis to Doomsday and back at will, instead of having permanently the monster look ?

Or they just did it that way so that he can't become all-out Destructo Man for another ten or so years.

Someone has to kill Chloe and inspire Clark to fly. Why not a Kryptonian death machine?
Because when I was a kid I was a Supes fan and I did liek that aspect of him. But I'm not a kid anymore so, while I am still a fan and still have my "geek out" moments from my youth and comic appreciation even for stuff I'm not overly familiar with like The Legion, I also don't have the same tastes and expectations I did when I was a kid.
And it's NOT true that Superman always wins in the end. At leats not in this show. There have been times on this how where he hasn't. Alicia, who is easily one of my favorite guest characters, certainly wasn't saved by him and is a perfect example.

He's not Superman yet.
This is the story of him becoming Superman. "Legion" was a milestone for him, where he finally came out and acted as the man he will become, not the boy he was.

Maybe Doomsday can do the King Kong routine.
Take Chloe at the top of the Daily Planet building and while Clark is up there too he somehow drops her.
If that doesn't inspire Clark to fly and save her, nothing will.
Or she gets so pissed at Clark for wiping her memories she tries to destroy him an gets killed in the process and Clark never mentions her again thus being lost in the telling of supes history....
Problem is, even the man he is to become isn't perfect. While he may have godlike powers he's not a god and thus is fallible.
I was almost expecting at the end a memory wipe like the Superman animated series.
Sorry I missed the discussion but had to work. Just gotta say I loved it. Chloe's memory is back (as expected), the LEGION was pretty cool, and Davis is now all Doomsday all the time. Next week looks to be fun hope to see you all then.
P.S. Best season ever!!!

My opinion of your opinion just dropped by about four notches. BSG put me straight to sleep last night, while Smallville had me cheering out loud several times during the episode.
I know, "big deal". Like my opinion matters to you.
But "Average"? C'mon. Just the way they did the Legion rings made this an above average episode alone. And the magnificent Chloe as Brainiac pushed it to Super. And all the rest was an awesome cherry on the top.
This was an awesome adaptation of the classic first meeting of Kal-El and the original three members of the Legion. Anyone who says different needs their heads examined IMO.
You can say that again.
