I cannot stand Samantha Harris. The week her voice was gone was the best week of that show this season, hands down.

i have an idea for season 8 of 24... make kim the villian! who wouldn't love to see her tortured by her dad?

May I suggest Ryan from The Office to be added to the list?

I don't know if he would be considered a detriment to the show, but I'm definitely so over him and his story line.

I like your idea, nick. Jack has already battled his evil father and brother, so why not. While we're at it, they can bring Terri back from the dead (or a clone of her, or her evil twin, etc.) and have her and Kim plot to destroy the world together. The show has pulled so many unbelievable stunts that nothing would surprise me anymore (and yet I still watch...).

I had stopped watching Heroes sometime after Season 3 began, all that I remember is that I ended up hating every single character. Incredibly poor development. If you don't get attached to characters it's easy to lose interest in a show. Mohinder was definitely one of the worst but I think I hated Peter and Claire most of all.
Nathan was the only one I liked.

And as someone who disliked Thirteen from the very beginning and preferred Amber, I feel vindicated. That Mary Sue needs to be killed off YESTERDAY.

Charlotte (Private Practice) - Totally agree. I think they've given way too much attention to this annoying character. She is a bitch and she doesn't deserve someone like Cooper.

Lois (Smallville) - I know she's supposed to be a brilliant wonderwoman in the mythos, but can't we just ignore that cause Erica Durance is awful. I bought her as the annoying General's daughter, but now as some sudden journalistic goddess? No no no.

Rebecca (B&S) - Don't hate me, but I liked Rebecca and Justin together or even separate. But I agree that Scotty deserves more screentime because he is just so damn likeable. Too good for Kevin? Totally. But I love him.

New Ruby (Supernatural) - Hate Genevieve Cortese as Ruby. I tolerated the character before because I bought her as a badass demon, but this new ABC Family castoff is so cheesy and unbelievable. Did they fill their "good actor quota" after they cast Jensen and Jared?

LoL, totally agree on Kim Bauer.. when they hinted at her being back last week I literally cried out NOO!!! Don't RUIN the rest of the season! Tho, I might disagree with your Gossip Girl pick... Vanessa's PRETTY irritating....

Thank the lord others agree with me on the Charlotte issue. That girl's lower jaw could kick some ass, but seriously her storyline is getting a little worn.

You know, I have to say that I am not surprised to find 'New Ruby' on your list.

THANK YOU!!! I have hated Charlotte since the first cross-over episode. And when a person can hate a character before a show has even technically premiered, we have serious probllems with what's considered acceptable primetime tv

Lois must die! Just save us the pain and kill her off!

I don't mind Louis, especially since they finally got rid of the dead weight, Lana Lang.

I don't mind Louis, especially since they finally got rid of the dead weight, Lana Lang.

I think Nole Marin's was replaced in cycle 6 or around that time. I believe Miss Jay took his place.

Samantha Harris gets a bad wrap. She has made mistakes, but I think she's better than that hammy, unfunny Tom Bergeron.

I used to love Mohinder and now I don't even know who he is suppoesed to be. Last year ruined him and this year he's mostly dull.

Lois. Oh Lois. I don't think I've ever found a character more irritating and grating (which is saying a lot from a show that produced Lana Lang, the ultimate pink princess). But Lois not only is magically granted everything, she also acts and seems to honestly believe she is the best thing out there and everyone else is a chump. I don't know if I'll ever get past Lois's answer to "Should I be happy my best friend got fired?" "Absolutely!" Or the equally awful. "Hello! 'Cause it's me." Has someone mentioned the immoble face?

I'll put up with Mohinder, because he's hot. But he's also boring and stupid and should've been kicked off a long time ago.

But I actually like Thirteen and Rufus, on House and Gossip Girl respectively. Am i seriously the only one? Wow.

And I loved Ruby in season three, but with Genevieve Cortese playing her she's been ruined. Ugh.

Sylar, Sylar, a thousand times SYLAR. He's just boring as hell and Quinto is an average actor at best. Mohinder may be annoying but damn, at least Sendhil is nice to look at.

Yes Nois must die, she adds nothing the the show and is not even funny.

Blogs I Hate Right Now: The Telefile -You are a sad, hateful and delusional Chlois Fan.

Re: Lois Lane-- You really need to read up on the general fans positive opinions of Lois Lane outside of the fucked up world of the retarded TWOP SV Thread.

{That sound you TWOP's heard after watching HEX was the rest of Fandom pointing and laughing at you asinine Theorists!}

Chloe was fired based on her own horrendous work ethic and fued with Lex Luthor. The only time she actually got any stories in the past few seasons were because of Clark and Lois anyways so I don't really see how Lois stole something that it seems like Chloe lost a long time ago in her persuit of being the best sidekick ever. But then you would not know that would you seeing as you don't watch the show. Way to give your self away.

How in the world can you claim to hate Lois for "stealing Chloe's thunder" when you DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO CHLOE IS!!!!

That's like saying you don't like asparagus because it's green, and brussel sprouts are also green.

Have you ever actually watched an episode of Smallville? (I'm guessing no, based on your Chloe comment) Do you have any idea just who Lois Lane is? She sure as hell isn't Chloe.

And if anyone's losing screentime, it's Lois, who was written out of five episodes at the expense of either Chloe or Lana? And in three of those episodes, Chloe was several steps below useless.

Why don't you try watching the show and making an informed decision, rather than just going along with the vocal majority of bashers and haters on this site?

Do you even watch Smallville? Seriously.

Do some research, outside of the narrow minded population of TWoP. Who's mission in life, sadly, is to hate on a character AND bash a human being (which is just terribly sickening), instead of oh, I don't know...appreciating who they DO happen to like.

You think she's stealing Chloe's screentime? Hm. Allison/Chloe has been in all Season 9 episodes so far whereas Erica? Oh yeah she's going to be in a total of 12. Only 4 of the last 12 episodes of the season. But yeah...she's really stealing all the screentime from Chloe, the little back-stabbing, monster-who's-going-to-kill-your-best-friend smuggling girl....who has had a majority of episodes focusing on her when the show is supposed to be about SUPERMAN aka Clark Kent.

Grow up and I don't know...actually use your brain.

You should really check your facts before going and writing an article that lists a character whose on a show you don't even watch. How brilliant of you! Way to be informed.

And Lois Lane is no supporting character. That honour goes to Chloe Sullivan aka Ms. Hack-all.

*sarcasm*

Suprising a anti-Lois comment on a BLOG from TWOP. All it's missing is bashing the actress Erica Durance because she is to happy and delusional theories about Chloe somehow morhping into her cousin and looking perfectly sane in the process.

Keep living in denail YMMV

Lois Lane bashing at TWoP site? How unoriginal. Guess you have to keep feeding the crows when no one else does.

One other thing at least the author admits what is the basis of the problem of the Lois character for the TWOP crowd, a huge jealousy complex that I would expect out of a 13 year old girl in middle school.

Every Lois complaint I see from the TWOP crowd always seems to somehow put Chloe's name in the sentence.

Lois Lane's death can't come soon enough for me. I'm tired of the fake out games they play with her and Chloe. Give Chloe her life back.

I have one question... since when does Chloe deserve screentime?

She doesn't exist outside Smallville. She's a nobody for the people that don't see the show.

About the journalistic time, tell me something... if Chloe's dream really was to become a journalist, WHY THE HELL didn't she came back to the DP after Lex left?

If the DP was the problem, why the hell didn't she tried to find another paper?

Don't blame Lois for that, because it was all Chloe.

Without a doubt the most useless sidekick on TV has to be Juliet from LOST. She's pretty much there to be annoying right? As much as i love her for being there so there will be no Sawyer/Kate when Kate should be with Jack. I still cannot stand her either as an actress or a character, why kill off Charlie and reduce Claire's screen time and keep her? I remain baffled...

That's funny...I believe most, if not all, of the people coming to Lois's defense are calling the author out for pandering to the Chloisers, as her previous post confirms she doesn't even watch the show. No one is saying she's not allowed to not like Lois...we're all just a little appalled that she would make that sort of judgment without any personal exposure to the show. it smacks of sucking up to Chloisers.

And us commenting on the same blog as you, with a different opinion, means we have no lives? Uh, no, it just means we disagree with you. Unless you have no life as well?

Ms. Monez,

For you to be able to critally judge charecters on a show, you must actually watch said show. As you admittedly know nothing about Smallville other than the veiws you see on this site, allow me to suggest renting seasons 4-7 of Smallville so that you may make up your own mind about Lois Lane. You may be surprised by what you might find.

Sincerly,

A Lois fan

In reguards to some people not liking Lois. Sorry to anybody who doesn't like Lois but is not a Chloiser, the delusional comment was directed at them.

Now if somebody can come up with a reason for disliking Lois without

1. bashing the actress playing her for some stupid reason

2. somehow finding a way to bring up Chloe's name when they bring up why they dislike Lois

3. are a Chloiser

This site is known to be a haven for the Chloe fantatics and just felt I would vent. It's obvious as others pointed out that the author of the article has no idea what she is talking about and just pandering to the TWOP crowd who watch Chloeville with her comment.

Because the source material is fantastic. There is so much to the mythos that many Smallville fans have never expirienced. And in the end DC and Warner Bros. decide what happens in Smallville. They apparently like the source material, so it is at least going to generally follow it.

If you pick from reality shows, I would definitely add Padma Lahkshmi to this list.

As I recall when Chloe originally got a collumn it was because she made a deal with Lionel to spy on Clark. And when she got back into the DP it was because of the sorority vamps that Clark and lana incountered. Not really much better than the fare Lois wrote for the Inquisitor. Clark seemed to do most of the grunt work for Chloe as well when she could be distracted from her duties the best sidekick ever and actually write a once in blue moon article.

Lois worked at the Inquisitor building her expirience before going to the DP. And if you bring up the Grant thing, I will only rebutt that with the fact that she is STILL working at the DP, even after Grant's death and Lex's take over. Lex saw Lois as a threat and therefore wanted to keep her around to make sure she could not make trouble for him. Chloe.... not so much.

Thank you, thank you, a thousand time thank you for saying Lois needs to die. It is painfully cleare the Smallville writers just changed their "Lana is great" macros to "Lois is great" and went on their merry way this year. Lois magically becoming the best reporter ever offscreen, combined with ED's questionable "acting" skills and Clark rather massive IQ drop has been pretty painful to watch. The difference in episode quality between episodes with Lois, and episodes without her, is remarkable.

As for the other choices - I too am bored of the Thireen / Foreteen show. Killing CTB and keeping her was a major mistake.

Mohinder really is too dumb to live. Don't get me wrong, Skylar should have died two years ago, but Mohinder makes Peter Griffin look like a damn genius.

New Ruby is much worse than Old Ruby, who I had started to warm up to by the end of last year. I really wish the actress who played Meg could just come back - she was better than either of the former Rubys.

Die Lois die!

Mohinder used to be a rootworthy character, not anymore.

Smallville's Lois Lane? ED's version is an insult to the name. No education, sleeps with the boss, no ethics, & is the town bicycle of Superheroes. A skanky bimbo, & totally not worthy of Clark Kent, Superman or the name.

Really? You had to take it there? I am not even sure what to say to that it's so... well, rediculous. But now I can see why some people think we Smallville fans are all a little crazy when it comes to our fandoms.

COULD NOT AGREE MORE about Samantha Harris. Why is she still a thing? Surely the filler-mongers at DWTS could come up with some way to distract the audience while the judges prepare their scores or whatever. Or at least: Lachey!

So, yeah, Dr. Hunt should be added to the "OK, you can stay" list for GA. It's possible I'm blinded by the sheer force of my McKidd love, but Hunt seems to have, you know, an actually interesting plotline, and, as much as I hate to say it, a fairly relevant one at that.

I agree with picking Lois Lane. She's single-handedly ruining Smallville and Superman for me.

NuRuby didn't annoy me that much at first until the fans started to rally against her and I guess I was influenced a little but she's really getting on my nerves with all the strange demon sex thing going on. Can't she just be platonic and badass like KC's oldRuby?

Thank you for including Lois in your list. She's a complete waste of space and is single-handedly ruining the show for me. Oh, and before I get labelled a "delusional Chloiser", my hatred for Lois has nothing to do with Chloe whatsoever.

Hear, hear, Massena! This was a joint effort of many educated minds that say that, whether its the actress or the writing, SVLois sucks! And a lot. Next time the show should try for organic storytelling rather than moving the character around like a chess piece to an iconic place and hoping no one calls them out on how shoddily it was done.

There's still hope to fix it, SV people! Just admit you screwed up, just like the Heroes PTB. Except, unlike them, don't screw it up worse by making the characters unrecognizable and unrelateable by... Oh, wait...

Just to clear things up, I think all Chloisers are delusional if they think Chlois is actually going to happen after the producers many times came out and said it's not going to happen and wrote and episode saying it won't happen. It has nothing to do with your opinion on Lois(although the negativity on Lois character sort of goes hand and hand with people who believe in the theory).

There are many Chloe fans out there(but mostly not on this board) who seem to be reasonable that can give reasons why they don't care for the character without it sounding like jealousy, and I can accept that. the second though I see terms like Nois, EDlois, SVLois though, I see people just living in denial.

Scotty was the reason I stopped watching Brothers & Sisters. I hate that character and the way the actor plays him so much.

I agree wholeheartedly on the "who can stay" list for Grey's Anatomy, though.

goody!!! Lois and the USUAL Erica Durance's bashing next to it!!

I am sooo proud to be a Smallville fan..

*remembers why I don¡t come here*

Ohh Chloe fans and then you ask WHY ypu are not listened nor taken seriously.

Bunch of 2 year old bashing and using names. Grow Up already.

You officially beat the Clana on the monst INMATURE fandom out there.

Now THAT's why you must only stick to you TWOP forum. Out there you are only a bunch of crazy people. Stay on ypur ayslum. Even on Ksite people laugh at you.

Well what can I said it must feel good that 1 in like 4,514,555 sites you are heard and treated like your actitud its right on.

Even authors than don't watch they show LIE to workship you.

Its a good place to be a Chloe fan. And just in case you live on 2003. Chloe is not longer a reporter. She is WATCHTOWER and harboring monster.

Stop bashing a fictional character and an actress just because you are frustrate dn how CRAPPY Chloe is bacoming

Patehtic. Try to take thatattitude outsie the TWOP and see how pople kick your butt in debate and in laughing at you

sometimes I wonder what show are you wtahcing?

No wait....you are NOT watching....my bad ooopssssss

I dare to think you people still think Smallville is on the WB.

That's how outdated you are, the only explanation possible cause you are describing ashow that apparently exist only on your minds

Vanessa and Lois are too good for this blog.

Right, Lois is a journalist, but her being a reporter in mythos shouldn't be like being being a princess...you're not just born into it. So, we know that she's supposed to be a reporter, and a good one. It's not to much to ask that the writers SHOW her working to get there. Clark Kent is Superman, but the most interesting part of the early seasons was watching him NOT be Superman, and how he got from where we met him to where we know he is going.

It does bear saying that the actress who plays Lois is not compelling (to me), and combined with the bad writing leaves me with little to care about. I don't owe these characters any loyalty just because of their Mythos...they have to earn it through great storytelling. They've failed.

Wholeheartedly agree with this list, ESPECIALLY Lois. She may have the iconic name, but the similarity ends there.

Ugh, THANK YOU for preaching the truth about the awful Lois Lane. She's crude, crass, and obnoxious--and those are her good qualities. SV's Lois Lane slept her way into the DP, is the most unethical "journalist" in the history of ever. And ED, I'm sure she's a nice person, but she's not a very good actress.

Dead weight is right. Allison Mack is amazing and her Chloe has given this show its heart, through all of the crappy storylines and lowest moments. Those who've been watching from the beginning and didn't simply jump on the bandwagon to stroke their comics obsession want to see the show at its best, and Lois is what drags it down to its worst.

This is insane! I don't even watch Smallville and I'm freaked out by it's fandom! Such intense hatred for fictional characters.

If you are going to mock an entire group of fans and say they are “are not listened nor taken seriously”, try using spell check first. It helps people to take you seriously.

If Chloe had never been on Smallville, Lois would still suck. ED is at best a mediocre actress, who does best with broad comedy and romance scenes. Exposition and drama? Not so much. Throw in ED’s suddenly immobile face, the usual poor writing, an increase in screen time and Lois’s growth as a reporter happening entirely off-screen, and you have a disaster.

The EPs admitted that the Clark / Lois relation was sibling-like for the past four years, making Lois’s sudden and unexplained lust for him truly disturbing. I guess wanting to bang your brother is iconic and epic.

How about we just shut down Private Practice altogether and ship Addison (and Naomi's ex-husband - I forget his name, but he's cool) over to Grey's?

And what exactly has Chloe and Clark's relationship been?

In my opinion Chloe's been like a mother to Clark. So wanting to bang your son? Ew.

Also, stop stating everything like it's a fact. It's opinion.

How dare you insult the actions fans took to show their appreciation of Erica Durance/Lois Lane? That's unbelievable, how low you've just sunk.

I haven't seen any efforts by people on TWoP to show their appreciation of Allison, so what gives you the right to diss what fans have worked incredibly hard on to show their love for an actress? What's wrong with you?

A bunch of people contributed to the OWC campaign, maybe not in monetary contributions, which is understandable considering the economy right now, but in other ways like sending emails, postcards, contributing to the video for Tom and Erica, making art, spreading the word about the project.

I really can't believe you've just sunk that low.

Also, it's not like only 108 people like Lois Lane/Erica Durance. The majority of Smallville fans aren't online message forums people, and if you took the time to actually look at the petition we had set up for people to sign if they wanted to see more of Lois Lane, you'd know that we obtained more than 2,600 signatures.

Shame on you, really. To make fun of fans efforts to show appreciation. Shame on you.

Heehee! Are you kidding?

"Shame on you, really. To make fun of fans efforts to show appreciation. Shame on you."

Oh, this is just too delicious! I see very little evidence of the bashful, humble Lois fans having skipped over to say, "I like Lois myself." I see lots of nasty, "inmature" comments that make little contextual and/or grammatical sense.

There's a whole world outside of your parents' basement, you know. Just take off the Darth Vader helmet and you can see it for yourself!

Making fun of me, a Lois fan, when you're denouncing us making fun of Chlois fans in the first place? That doesn't make much sense.

Second of all, I'm saying it was immature to make fun of a campaign done by fans, when people worked really hard for months on it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with me stating my opinion on that. I do think it's wrong to make fun of fans hard-working efforts. Make fun of us all you want, fine. But don't trash something we did that we're all really proud of.

"Second of all, I'm saying it was immature to make fun of a campaign done by fans, when people worked really hard for months on it."

I don't think the OP is "making fun" of it. The point is simply that as much as EDLois fans like to imply that they represent the "majority" of the Smallville fandom, their big campaign (which you indicate people "worked really hard for months" on) only had 108 contributors. This after they sent out spamming emails and PMs to strangers (including Chlois and Chlark fans, inexplicably) begging for more support. That's the only point being made here-- that EDLois fans do not represent the Smallville fandom as a whole. They're only one segment of fandom, not necessarily any larger than Chlark fans or Chlois fans or general non-shipping fans.

And re the post: Ugh, I totally agree about New Ruby. I never thought I'd say this, but bring Old Ruby back!

Oh wow the Chloe fans are bashing Erica and calling out Lois fans. Nothing new right. But ofcourse what else can they do when Chloe who is a wimp and is a married woman who has an affair that they to undermine the other fan base.

I like Thirteen on House. I don't understand why the writers/producers decided to sideline Chase and Cameron for so long, but I don't blame the new characters who made it through the ridiculous competitions (those eps I did NOT enjoy!)
House showed how new characters could be developed and used--I wish Grey's Anatomy would do a better job of this!

//This is not the first time Smallville's Lois has made a list like this, (Worst character, characters we're sick of, characters who need to die).//

Lois has also made multiple positive lists. TV Squad listed her as one of five reasons to watch Smallville this year -- "Erica Durance's Lois Lane has to be one of the best versions of the character to hit any screen, big or small." (this coming from someone who actually watches the show); E! Online recently placed her relationship with Clark on a list of favourite TV couples; BuddyTV also ran an editorial from a staff writer late last year outlining why she is such a great character. That's a small and recent selection of the positive press Lois has been getting since she debuted on the show five years ago.

That's exactly what I meant, Meg. Lois is not a popular character, she just has a few diehard, loud fans.

I like Kim Bauer. I think she brings out a vulnerability to Jack that no one else does. However, I fully recognize that I am in the minority and that she is almost wholly disliked by other viewers. I do not feel the need to call the site and bloggers delusional, psycho, sociopaths, etc, because they have a difference of opinion, a concept Lois' few dozen fans have not grasped.

Well I've gotta agree, Chloe fans (all 10 of you) have a right to hate Lois for stealing Chloe's "thunder"!!

If Lois wasn't at the Planet (along with hundreds of other talented reporters hired by DP who all are equally guilty of stealing Chloe's thunder, thank God we don't see them on this show) Chloe would be working there right now, writing so many pet obituaries, hacking so many more networks, using DP's resources for so many other things than journalism. Duh! Lois, you stole that opportunity from Chloe!

Do Lois's fans really think workers' revolts, serial killers and Red Blue Blur is serious journalism? Really? Just because everyone adores Lois at the Planet, Clark makes puppy dog eyes at her and she has her picture taken with Dalai Lama doesn't mean she's doing great!

But don't you worry, I am sure when Chloe gets tired of being Barbara Gordon wannabe.. err.. I mean Watchtower, of having Doomsday as her boyfriend, of playing with her husband's emotions and 'tasering' him to protect Doomsday, and of going behind her "best friend's" back again and again, she might want to come back to Daily Planet and write more pet obituaries and off course write about vampires and "redeem" the Planet!

//But, we're being asked to believe that with no education or any desire to be a journalist before season 6, she's suddenly a brilliant reporter?//

Really you were expected to believe that in the S4 episode "Facade", when an article she wrote for the Torch garnered her fanmail.

Totally agree with the Rufus thing on GOSSIP GIRL. He just randomly shows up and randomly decides to be a parent...randomly. My favorite was when he came home really late from something, to an empty house, didn't know where his kids where but managed to get mad at Jenny about something...I don't remember. either way, he's made of lame.

While I don't "love" vanessa or Jenny, I get their purpose in the show. I may not like them as people but they serve to move things forward or mess things up in proper GG fashion, so for that I like them alright. I feel the same way about how Dan is a total idiot, but somehow necessary. Whatever.

In regards to the person that mentioned Padma on Top Chef, I say get rid of the new judge guy and have Gail on full time.

Also Locke and Jack on lost need to just go and die. I'm on the third season playing catch up, but I roll my eyes really hard anytime they are on screen.

And while I'm at it and to break up the smallville talk, can we kill off Edward? In Twilight? just...for fun?

OH! and I don't watch Smallville, at all...but based soley on the promos and the few episodes I watched from the first season, Chloe bugs me. Is she still pinning for Clark? Wait...I don't care at all. scratch that.

Smallville's Lois Lane as portrayed by Erica Durance has been poorly written...not the first victim of bad writing on the show (see Lana Lang). Lois showed poor judgement in sleeping with her boss, and has been shown to be unethical in her work practices, even going as far as offering a policeman a bribe in the episode 'Plastique.' She also comes across as rude, brash and unlikeable.

In addition, I just don't think ED is that good an actress - just my opinion, which I'm entitled to.

'House' hasn't been the same since they spilt the original team of House, Foreman, Chase & Cameron. I'm hoping for a return to the original format myself. But Thirteen doesn't bother me personally.

And Heroes...my love for that series died at the beginning of Season 2. Sylar went from badass villain to bland, everybody's characters got gutted & regressed as they started to stall and over-convolute the story, and suddenly there were insipid love triangles all over the place. I ditched it pronto.

I agree with just about everyone on the list but HUGE WORD to Lois. I don't think there's another character on TV that annoys me more than she does. I don't know if it's the poor acting, the fact that she's just given things without having to work for them (or...ok I guess banging her boss *is* sort of work) or her entitled attitude but I've always hated her on the show. If there's a TV god she'll get killed off at the end of the season.

Mohinder is also so annoying. He's been pretty pointless since s1 but this season his whole 'fly' routine was insane.

ITA about the whole cast of Grey's Anatomy. The reason I stopped watching that show was because I realized I hated *everyone*.

Glad to see EDLois on this list, she is no way the "iconic" version of Lois Lane. Her character is written poorly, and displays questionable morals at best.

Poor Mohinder, he's hot, but as you said...boring.

An interesting list of bad second bananas. I'd love to comment on many of these but the truth is that the only show on this list that I actually watch is Heroes.

Regarding 24 - I stopped watching about 2/3 of the way through season 4. Not because I stopped liking the show but because I moved and no longer had TV. But even before I stopped watching I found Kim frustrating. The fact that she is still a presence on the show does not encourage me to catch up any time soon.

Regarding Smallville - I stopped watching that one at the end of Season 6. Again not because I dislike the show, my personal life simply got busy. I am glad to hear Lana is gone. I always liked Chloe and considered her a better choice for Clark, but I understand why they are trying to give Lois the more dominant role. Honestly, the show probably should have ended by now. That's part of the problem with American TV. We beat everything till it's dead. The last show I can recall that had a planned start and end was Babylon 5.

And with Heroes - I actually enjoy Sylar this season. I think Zack Quinto has played the role quite well considering all the crap that's been thrown at him in this season's writing. For those of you who feel he should have died, a perfect time would have been in Volume 3 during his redemption arc. He could have been killed by one of the other Villains during the time he was partnered with HRG or by Arthur Petrelli at Pinehearst. It would have been good timing.

Overall, I think that the issue with Heroes is that they don't know how to develop a plot over these shorter arcs that they are using. They introduce ideas, back story, and characters only to abandon them after a few and sometimes only one episode. They need to make the upcoming Volume 5 span the whole of Season 4 so they can have proper writing and plot development again. And killing off some characters wouldn't hurt.

Okay, listen up. I sympathize witha almost everything on that list (particularly Lois). She's cute, and she can deliver a joke, but her reporting skills (even when demonstrated as Chloe walking around in Lois' skin) consist of her ability to cultivate bowing acquaintances with people (and poker nights) that makes them feel comfortable around her. She doesn't dig for stories, her intelligence isn't superb like it should be. Her writing is, at best pedestrian. Chloe discovered she didn't want Lois' life because Lois doesn't do most of the things she expects reporters to do--dig, for stories, write incisively, search like a bloodhound for truth. She doesn't do any of those things--and those are the characteristics that define Lois professionally. That's bad for someone we're supposed to take seriously as a multiple Pulitzer winner. It's as if they wrote Cat Grant and gave her Lois's name and resume. Chloe finding a different niche is good, but she's basically become a stand-in for a building. She doesn't have her own secret identity, she signs in as base. It'd be like being part of the space program and identifying yourself as "Houston" full-time or being a member of the old Superfriends and calling yourself "Hall of Justice."

Until the middle part of this season, I actually really liked 13, but her involvement with Foreman has seriously soured me on both characters.

I could not agree more on Lois. Let's take a step back into season 4 when I actually liked the introduction of Lois Lane minus the flirting over her dead cousins grave. However after her initial introduction she just started to get really annoying real fast. I dislike how everything she gets is because it's ICONIC. She has to work for nothing and it has become especially apparent this season. The DALAI LAMA oh fuck Smallville you expect me to believe that.

Heroes. I hate 50% of the people in there but Sylar I think just about edges out Mohinder. Now if Mohinder dies well I won't complain.

I don't see much issue with Mohinder, while not the greatest character the Cheerleader is the most annoying of the bunch, followed by the asian guy.

In each interview Allison says how hard she works with the writers to make Chloe a unique and invaluable character and DC was ready to add Chloe to the comics. They even had Allison sign off on how Chloe was portrayed in the comics but now DC had taken a step back and said that they are not going to add Chloe in the comics. Allison was robbed off all her hard work in creating a new character which could have lived for a long period of time and instead have limited the character just to the SV universe because some of her fans can't accept her as Chloe.

Erica atleast had 108 contributors to show appreciation for her work.

I agree with the Grey's Anatomy list, NuRuby and 13.

But I disagree about Mohinder. Granted, despite his overwhelming hotness he's been pretty useless since S2 (his best storyline was being a mommy with Parkman to Molly). However, there are many more characters on Heroes that I would prefer to get the axe, first and foremost Claire. I found her very interesting in S1 and I've only heard good things about Hayden P. But since S2 Claire has been lame and whiny, always blaming HRG and ignoring the billion and one times he sacrificed whatever he had to for her. He SHOT himself for her! Show some gratitude, girl. Next on my Heroes hit list would be any character Ali Larter plays. She did a good job of being Jessica/Nikki in S1 (even though I was often bored by her storyline) but it is just ridiculous that she can't die. Even when she does she just becomes a new character!

"The extremists in Clois fandom are turning me off Smallville altogether. I'm glad they're passionate about their ship, but do they have to run around drumming up the crazy every time someone disagrees with them?"

I think you can find "crazies" for all groups. TWOP is known to be a haven for "crazy" Chloe fans who seem to take out there frustrations on an actress that go beyond disliking a character on a tv show. I never seen so much venom by a group of people in my life and if you sign up on this board to disagree with them, the OP there bans you for heaven forbid, having an opinion different from the rest of the people. If you dislike the direction Chloe is going, blame the writers and producers instead of taking out frustrations on another character or even worse the actress playing that character.

If you find the Clois fans here “extreme” maybe you should go to other online blogs and rumor sites and see the amount of hostility Chloe fans in general start spewing without respecting fans of the other characters. I can’t speak for everybody but all my posts on this blog are just out of frustration for the fan base of Chloe that hang out on this site who seem to have no respect for other fans when they start posting there hateful crap other places. It’s great I have a place to put it without moderation that they can see.

Huh. Now that the TWOP staff is constantly complaining about Sylar, I remember last year's 'Seven Things Heroes Needs to Do to Stop Sucking' with 'add more Sylar.' Be careful what you wish for, people. Mwahahahaha.

As for sidekicks who must go (read: die), I dunno, I don't think any of these sidekicks take up too much time on respective shows. And you are overreacting anyway. Breathe in and relax. If a secondary character can ruin a show for you, try paying attention to everything else, like, oh maybe the show itself? Jeez, it's crazy how viewers get all bloodthirsty about freaking fictional characters.

"However, there are many more characters on Heroes that I would prefer to get the axe, first and foremost Claire. I found her very interesting in S1 and I've only heard good things about Hayden P."

Really? I've only heard bad things about Hayden P and have hated Claire from the get-go. She was a whiny lil bitch in the pilot ep and has only gotten down-hill.

Kill the Cheerleader, save us all!

I'm sorry I didn't explain myself clearer, but what I ment is this show at least generally follows the Superman mythos so the fact that Lois would eventually end up at the DP could not have been a surprise. The writers also did show Lois working her way to the DP by working at the Inquisitor and going after stories no matter where they took her.

Chloe to begin with, was supposedly a Lois achetype seeing as they could not initially get the rights to the character. So it is understandable that the comparisions and theories could have happened. Allison Mack as Chloe has evolved as a charecter into her own seperate enitity.

And if you really want to me to be honest, I would say look at the ratings. Episodes with Lois do better than episodes without her. So that stands to reason that the generall Smallville watcher likes her and what she is doing for the show. Erica Durance herself premotes the heck out of SV as well, much more than any other of the main cast. So it would seem to be fool hardy to kill one of the few iconic Superman charecters left on the show.

This coming for paranoiac-Chloisers is real rich - the fandom who couldn't prevent bashing Erica whenever an Erica interview was posted at TVGuide when the "Clois extremists" displayed a modicum of respect when AM's interview was posted or how some of the Chlois moderators conducted themselves or the fact that Chloisers have a sign-on for a Clois site to lurk/spy.

I completely agree with the whole list especially Lois from Smallville. I really hope the writers come to their senses and kill her off or send to her off to a far away place. We don't need her in Smallville this is the story of Clark Kent before he becomes Superman so she's not needed, she's just the dead weight on this show.

SO MUCH WORD!!!

Nois (AKA SVLOIS)is such an eyesore. Dumb sluts can never be Heroines. No wonder the show is sinking under her FAIL.

s10 is a delusion.

Lois... yea i have to kinda agree on the fact that she is a little annoying. I'm trying not to be rude because I've been reading the comments and not just the pro-Chloe ones but the Pro-Lois ones too and i feel that, well SVLois is just annoying, and a very poor character in all honestly.
Its obiviously not ED's fault or AM's fault or anyone but the creators, the producers, the writers, those people. The people who created this version of Lois Lane who is conceited, pushy, arrogant, and just down right, again annoying. And yes i guess in the original comics she was some of those adjectives but unless you can back up that conceitedness with actual skill and knowledge, its like she's a little girl playing dress up in mommy's clothes. The creators of the show spent time developing their version of Lois lane and now that its time for her to grow up and become the iconic Lois lane most people know they haven't done anything but give her, and i emphasize the word give, all these accolades with no cause or reason given by their character Lois.
I think the writers shouldn't have rushed this, SVlois isn't suddenly going to become Lois Lane ace reporter because they write it as so. I would hope that before they do they would first try and mature Lois, she needs to learn how to find a story, get the truth, and become a great reporter in time. She needs to get more experience actually finding fact and working a plausible explanation rather than creating an explanation and making the facts fit. We need to see her work for it like any other person because the Lois Lane i want to see is a normal human being, a down to earth girl who knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in our world and that people who get things handed to them on a silver platter have to work twice as hard to prove that they deserve everything their getting.

I meant that yes they can write it in but are we really going to believe it? I mean suddenly out of the blue she become "Lois Lane great reporter" and we don't even see it happening its just there because they wrote it in, we don't see her working, we don't see her snooping for stories, all we hear about is "great job lois on your story" What story???? I mean the show is supposed to be focused on Clark but Lois is going to have to become a more prominent character and since she can't exactly help with the whole superhero gig they should either become more involved in her work or drop her from the show and put her back in later when she becomes Lois Lane Ace reporter.
Because Lois isn't supposed to know anything about Clark's powers not yet anyway and since the whole show is Clark using his powers for whatever reason in each episode where's the time to be with Lois???? Every other character can be integrated in since they all deal with clark and his powers, but lois is just out there drifting in the wind totally out of the loop and what's she going to do? The show is setting up what is to be in the future that he becomes superman has other allies and figures out his whole heritage and what not. Lois is supposed to meet him after all that happens because after that all he does is stop villains and work for the paper. The show is still focused on revealing every little historical event that happens to clark kent that he doesn't have the simplicity of going to work, fighting crime, and wooing lois. so where does lois, who has no idea what is really going on, fit in?
