I've never been a Superman fan (any other shows, or comics, etc.), so I'm curious if your aversion to a "knock-off" is based on some kind of media canon, or if it's simply more personal (which I could certainly understand). I only know Lois from what people on TWoP or LJ say...and, so far as I can tell, Chloe sounds like Lois, but blonde. Maybe that's why I have no problems with it.
I doubt TPTB would hesitate to mess with a future Clark/Lois reporting pairing. I even like the idea, since it makes Chloe's little love speech in Fever very prophetic.
I'm just all a-squee. I can't help it ;)
It probably is mostly personal. I mean, I love Lois as Chloe's cousin in fanfic, and I always love the Chloe becomes Lois fics too. It's...maybe it's because in Fanfic I'm Clex OTP because in this verse, that's where my heart is. But I don't know, I've always wanted Lois to stay out of this verse entirely because the Lois/Clark was this huge chunk of his future. She was the girl who would be his perfect match, and-- mind you, I'm not this huge Supes fan so I'm probably explaining this wrong-- Bex or Livia would be able to better comment on this--- but I didn't want all his feelings with Lois just basically rehashing his feelings for Chloe that he never got to act out back then. I like that Lois underestimates him when she first meets him, and she grows up to get to know him for who he is. I like that they balance each other out, and grow into each other, and giving her this background takes that away from me.
If she's Chloe, she already loves Clark. And if she's Chloe's cousin, it's just very oh you were my cousin's love interest back then and here I am just stepping into my cousin's life-- mind you, I'm not saying I don't think they can pull it off, it'll just take a readjustment on my part. I already do think of a lot of Supes established canon and SV canon don't go hand in hand anymore.
I'm not sure I've explained it adequately. I am all a-squee about the ep. God, Lex, every time I think I couldn't possibly love him more, he goes and proves me wrong. And I find myself totally excited about the future and even the DOOM! *bounces*
I love my show. I really need to make an icon that says that.
