At least it's not Chloe (I've been fearing for the longest that it was to be her) but it still sucks that Pa Kent is gonna be the one to go.

This episode has finally made me mad as hell at this show's creators and writers. I've enjoyed the show up until now, but I thought this show would move everyone's character arc forward. Instead, we are right back to where we were before this episode began.

Then don't read the thread during the episode.
Easy enough.


Oh and this episode was complete and utter bullshit.

Thanks a lot Smallville.

This is actually a nice episode. One that setup a lot of things pertaining to the first superman movies:

1. Dad Kent died from a heart attack. This is inevitable i guess. Great setup though and further mystified what the deal was with Lionel.
2. Lana and Clark really did not end up with each other
3. Clark's anger towards Lex grows even more when he saw lex and lana together.
4. Clark saving Lois' life may setup that romance angle in the future part of the series.
5. Clark remember the tip given by Chloe to do the spin on earth's rotation to save Lois' life in the future.

any other.....

Oh man, those last scenes were heartbreaking. Martha's eyes expressing so much pain and anguish from Jonathan's early demise was just killing me. The graveyard scenes, touched off with Peter Gabriel singing in the background was just as haunting a funeral scenes as I've seen on TV in a long time.

I have to agree. I thought the show was finally heading in a new direction.

Fucking Bullshit Episode

I still don't get the pics of Pa Kent in the Fortress. Did I miss something

The problem is this. The episode achieved nothing except killing off Jonathan Kent, which we all know was probably going to happen. I never really believed Lana would die. But the problem I have is nothing else changed with the characters other than Pa Kent dying. We're just back to square one. Now if the writers would like to have Clark and Lana break up for good and further the romance with Lois, that's one thing. But you know we'll get another season at least of Clark and Lana doing the same old shit. Hell, I would have been happier had they just forgot about the Lana dying scenario, and just went with Clark telling her everything. Then they could break it off in the future.

I've always envisioned the series ending this way. Why the hell did they decide to do it now?

Must have been cut for time reasons or shot to throw people off.

Beautifully done. Everything from the fight with Lionel to the end was great. Two bad everything that happened in the first 30 minutes was rendered moot by the time reversal shit.

I was hoping that after his father's death he'd decide to tell Lana the truth again. That would have saved the episode for me.

Yeah, those SEVEN posts must've really been a bitch to skip over (well, EIGHT counting the one bitching about it )

As far as the episode...i'm still processing (and watching Earl). But I guess Peter wasn't good enough to have his song mentioned at the end?
