Chloe and Scott's relationship, out of nowhere?

[Arative]

Uh, no. It wasn't all it was. Or did you miss the part where Chloe pretty much told Scott she was in love with him? ("I've felt closer to you than I ever have to anyone in my life, blah blah blah").

Seriously, what happened to character development, and to basic good taste for that matter?

I didn't miss that part, I just didn't read too much into that OMG she's in love with him. They've gotten close, they slept together. I don't see them in a relationship or in love yet.

She said she felt closer to him than to anyone else in her entire life. Either the girl really doesn't get out much (which is unlikely given her looks and social status), or love is in the air.

I won't go into details but future spoilers heavily point to the former then the later.

We don't know really what her life was like. She's 23, she went to Harvard, she works for her dad. Maybe she didn't have much of a social life.

I just didn't read that scene as her being in love with him. Maybe she feels a closeness because Scott's parents died and her father died and that's the closeness she spoke of. I just don't see it as being in love.

I believe I already said. Its obviously because they are going to die which is why I am not complaining about the earlyness. It could have been explained better why it was these two people

That bit there I particularly agree with. You know when you miss a few episodes of a show, and return to find two characters broken up/not speaking/in bed/whatever, and think "Woah! When did that happen?" I feel a wee bit like that...as if some stuff ended up on the cutting room floor that was actually needed.

And even if she did, that still doesn't mean she's ever felt truly close to someone else in a romantic way. In fact, I'm quite looking forward to

Spoiler:

the episode "Earth", for example. I know a bit about this one and it seems that we'll learn quite a bit more about Chloe in this one.

I just didn't read that scene as her being in love with him. Maybe she feels a closeness because Scott's parents died and her father died and that's the closeness she spoke of. I just don't see it as being in love.

Neither do I. I see it as two people who bonded due to shared experience of loss (i.e. Chloe lost her father only 2(?) days ago.), and given the extreme situation they latched onto one another for comfort.

For me, how TPTB handle it now will be crucial. Now that the immediate threat of death is gone, how will they view their current situation? I'm hoping it's not ignored, and I'm really hoping that TPTB can creatively get us back to a situation where there's actually a relationship to develop.

As it stands, however, I find it very difficult to accept that they have any true feelings for each other quite yet...even given their extreme circumstances.

Still, I can't in all fairness jump the gun and say "OMG soooo unrealistic!!11one", because it's just not. In a real "impending death" situation, I'd venture to guess a decent chunk of people would do exactly the same thing. However, it either of them uses the "L" word anytime soon (and actually means it), then I just might lose all hope for TPTB

The sadistic side of me would love to see them torn apart (as a couple) for a while. I want to see them develop as individuals, and a relationship can come later and with actual build-up

It really was out of nowhere... but....

you can assume that people do have sex when the world seems to end, or it's dark (hence, tons of babies being born 9 months after a big blackout).

To me, this looked more like just sex for the sake of sex. No love.

However, I would like three months down the road for Chloe to go "I'm pregnant."

Come on, TPTB, you said you were going for realism, darker, edgier. If the world is ending, nobody thinks about condoms or birth control...strawberry cheesecake, sure, but not the former.

someone said
Have you ever seen soft-core porn? Try watching Cinemax after dark, that's soft-core porn.

that's why it's nicknamed Skin-e-max

And oh, yeah, I felt sorry for Eli. He knows Chloe's screwing around with Scott, yet she's using him as the big brother 'let me lean on you since the guy I just had sex with has left me' And as someone pointed out, how will the writers deal with this? Or will we just get a love trianagle of Scott-Chloe-Eli...?

God forbid they become the intergalactic "Speidi" couple

[aream2000]

im not really sure there was a relationship there, i think scott likes chloe but i think for chloe it was a were going to die moment, then again im still pulling for chloe and eli

[Coronach]

I'm not familiar enough with those two to understand the reference. Other than that they are two of the most unpleasant people I can imagine ever meeting

[hedwig]

The scene made no sense at all. Their deep relationship and love for each other came out of nowhere. That is just bad writing and I fear for the show if writing like this continues.

????? I saw no deep relationship or love anywhere there ... just two people scurrying off to have sex ...

[syfygal47]

First Scott was with Lieutenant James, and now he hooks up with Chloe, proving he is two timing. And Chloe lets Eli see her naked, and then has sex with Scott, and then lays her head on Eli's shoulder, and breaks his heart, proving she is two timing also. I think both Chloe and Scott are unlikeable because of this. After this last episode, I am still having problems liking any of the characters. I think that for any series to succeed, it must have likeable. sympathetic characters, and so far, I am not seeing any.

[Myles]

I saw two people who obviously have some feelings for each other and thought they would never get another chance to express them. Was Chloe a little over the top with 'I haven't been this close to somebody' stuff, sure. But she just had her father die, thinks she's about to die too, and just had sex with a guy she does have some feelings for. I don't think it's unreasonable for her to feel exceptionally close to Scott at that point.

[Sp!der]

im actually sorry for Eli...

Quoted from the movie Speed:
"You know, relationships that start under intense circumstances, they never last..."

Neither I think this will.
