Disclaimer: almost entirely unspoiled here, so I could be rampantly speculating about things that have already been revealed. *g*

I have to confess, given how ridiculously divided the fandom is lately over Chloe, I'm more than a little afraid to see people's responses to the fact that she has even more new powers. *Sigh* I don't really mind this particular plot development, because super computer skills is a much more logical meteor mutation for her than healing powers, so maybe they're going to give up the one for the other? (I wasn't sure whether to read her inability to heal Clark as a loss of that particular power or as a product of Clark's Kryptonian-ness. I guess the latter, but I think it would actually work better for her storyline if it was the former).

I, for one, am utterly fascinated by this. I was pretty ho-hum when I was vaguely spoilered for Chloe getting more powers, and wasn't all that enthusiastic that they'd be able to do it believably, but it was all intriguey and brilliant. She just passed out for no apparent reason and woke up with a new power? With her trademark Chloe suspicious slidey-eyes face of not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth? After passing out at the end of last season post-Brainiac!attack, and then suddenly coming to to find she's faster than Luthorcorps fastest computers? It's suspicious and too coincidental and I like it.
