Where do we go from here? All season 9 talk

[LJ-90]

Clark a blogger!!! Hahahaha.

My wish list it's "The Real Krypto" and better fights, after all I won't watch the show looking for good storylines, only to distract myself.

[BadToad]

New showrunners.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Hopefully, they save some extra money for Season Ten, so they can have a larger budget, or the CW gives them a big budget. :cool:

[Tompouce]

My Phoenix Theory (lol) : Clark as the Magical, Divine, Stellar person he is
Clois : strong moments and AT LAST a kiss (I can dream, right ? lol)
Martha
Jor El
MM
Shelby as a guy

[6-Super-Man -5]

Hopefully they bring in Metallo.

[Kid Collins]

For it to be the last season!

[6-Super-Man -5]

For it to be the last season!

I... don't think thats going to happen, but we'll have to see.
No one can never be 100% sure.

[Dyanara]

1. No season 10, end this already! The show is already on life support just put it out of its misery
2. Lois has no romantic interest in anyone and could care less about men. She develops her "I dont date policy"
3. Clark pines for Lois
4. Clark has animosity towards the other JL members
5. No Zod
6. No Tess(she was good until Clark became her Jesus Christ Superstar)

[avisray1992]

New showrunners.

ITA. And a new network.

[jpfort1957]

Hopefully they bring in Metallo.

A much better idea!!!!!!!!!!!

[disciples of zod]

I'll keep this short and simple:

1. CLOIS! :D

2. Shelby

3. Jimmy and the fact he wasn't dead. oh well. it happens :(

4. A really freakin awesome premiere. plz

5. nothing like Power. please

[LoveHurts38]

Creative writers...I am a Dreamer.

[6-Super-Man -5]

And maybe they could have some references to the real Jimmy Olsen, it would be quite nice.

[Steve-El]

For it to be the last season!

Me too. I want it to end as well and no season 10. I want closure.

1) A few other future JL'rs.
2) Clark flies.
3) Lex returns.
4) Kara returns.
5) Martha returns for a few episodes.
6) One or maybe two future villains
7) Perry White is appointed as new Daily Planet editor
8) A two-hour series finale

[reobeem]

1) Clark needs to use his other powers more, on top of that he needs to fly

2) I want to see Brainiac 5 show up, there's potental for that story

3) we need to see more of the League

4) bring in Darkside

5) more Lois

6) more bad guys, even the Time Trapper

[Tompouce]

I forgot the most important : EPISODES FOCUSED ON CLARK, I am fed up with episodes where Clark is a guest star

[shamville]

More rokk
Chloe become a mother in season 9
Clark flys
Lois get new man
Less oliver

[dezperado]

FLIGHT! FLIGHT! FLIGHT!
Better developed storylines!

[Dyanara]

Rokk! Oh yes please more of him, he is a killer character. I was so happy to see the preview and that he made an appearance...dang did that turn out to be a bust as well.

[Exedore]

Sanity

[Supsfan]

less angst, more focus on Clark

[cata_]

Sanity


loool spot on

[wafflles87]

More Lois, less Chloe, hopefully, Chloe's death towards the end.

More developing Clark, less reversing his development.

Way way WAY less angst, drama and tragedy.

The two idiots who wrote the finale fired.

[Glove]

Writers, Promoters, Creators (Whatever you want to call them)
that keep their promises. When they say there's going to be a
big fight...they make sure that there is a big fight. When they
say something big is going to happen between episodes #21
and #22...something big really happens between 21-22. The
truth and sticking to it are very important institutions!!!

[Night_Hawk90]

continuity

[Dyanara]

Some animals be visible on the Kent farm. Maybe a chicken walking in the background.

[luthorian]

C Davis and Jimmy don't kill each other

G Doomsday is the one that kills if someone has to die

[mty09]

A bigger budget for flight and more sets and locations! I'm tired of seeing the same recycled scenes and the same freakin street in metropolis! Metropolis is a city! Not a street! And please get better writers to make Clark "Super".

[Night_Hawk90]

no chloe

[AgentChaos]

What I want for Season 9:

-Primary focus on Clark's storyline. This is the most important thing for TPTB to focus on. Chloe and the JL should be the B-plot.

-Jimmy should stay dead. Since he has been established as not being the IJO, let him RIP. Death should have some meaning on this show. I'm bummed that he was killed just when he was starting to get interesting, but he needs to stay dead. Same goes for Davis. I loved the character, but he too should stay dead.

-Better pacing of the part-time main cast's episodes. If an actor only has 12 episodes, don't put them all together, then have them gone for 5-6 eps in a row.

-Cohesive, non-contrived storylines. Seriously, is that too much to ask?

-Lois can stay wherever the Legion ring sent her. Her character just sucks all the life out of the show.

[LoisLaneJournalist]

More Centric ep on Clark

martha kent back...


and lots moRe Lois Lane .........
Bring her back!!

Clois!! yay

[abbaspice1]

1) More Clark-focused stories-- with him being SMART.

2) More Lois-- becuase Clark actually laughs and smiles when she is around.

3) More Clois-- chemistry is hot, they like to flir and they seem HAPPY in each others' presence.

4) Far less Chloe. She needs LOTS of time to be by herself and think about what her actions have led to. LOTS of time by herself, away from everyone else (at least 10 episodes).

5) Less Oliver if he is going to be the 'killer' Oliver.

6) Less JL in general. This show is about the guy who is BECOMING SUPERMAN!

7) More Tess and Lois interaction. I love the way they get under each others' skin.

8) Ma Kent needs to visit.

[Bizarro345]

-Flight.
-To have the Clark at the end of "Doomsday" really the Eradicator and that Doomsday and Clark are still fighting under the rubble. That way that fight can be way longer.
-And most importantly...the returns of LEX AND BIZARRO!!!

[patrese]

The better question is how did davis ram that pipe all the way through jimmy if he was human?

because he really is not human

----- Added 35 Minutes later -----


I don't think their puny brains can comprehend what you just said. To them, dark means "people die. people get hurt. clark blames himself for WW2, the extinction of the Dinosaurs and the cancellation of Farscape"

ha ha ha ha ha!:rotfl:

[Steve-El]

I forgot one. Highest ranking episode than any other show on Thursday night.

[Who]

- Martha needs to come back.
- Flight.
- Bats needs to come in for an episode and knock some sense into the JL.
- A Lobo episode.
- Doomsday arised from the dead for an epic Supes/Dooms battle.
- Perry needs to be at the Daily Planet.
- Lois time traveling to fix all this mess.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

1. More Clark (The most IMPORTANT character!)
2. More Lois (The second most IMPORTANT character)
3. More Clois (The most IMPORTANT relationship)
4. Less Chloe (The most ANNOYING character at the mo..aka the new LANA)
5. More light episodes (I dont need smallville to depress me)

Thanks...In Advance:)

----- Added 3 Minutes later -----

Ps: No more lana..ever!

[kg1507]

More Clois
No Zod
MR as Lex Luthor (who didn't really die)
Better writers
No Tess
Martha Kent
When Lois comes back to her time, she will know about Clark

[topping82]

I say they need to have time reversed to fix Doomsday and make it as if it never happened at all! So basically time reversal and EVERYTHING changes.

Give Davis redemption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[melissan02]

More Lois, less Chloe, hopefully, Chloe's death towards the end.

More developing Clark, less reversing his development.

Way way WAY less angst, drama and tragedy.

The two idiots who wrote the finale fired.
YES to all of your list, Cam!:D

I'd only add Jimmy Olsen, as portrayed by AA! Sadly, I know that won't be.:(

[closertohome]

Less Chloe. I love the girl, but she's too big of a part of Clark's decisions about everything. Plus, she takes a lot of the focus away from Clark. And on that note...

More focus on Clark and his journey. I want to see Clark becoming Superman. I want to see him getting closer and closer to that destiny, not moping and angsting because his girlfriend left him or because he feels he's to blame for everything wrong in the universe.

More Lois. Probably biased because I love her and ED's portrayal of her, but I want to see more of her. She goes missing far too often and she deserves some amazing storylines of her own, though they should obviously not be the focus of the whole show.

More Clois. They don't have to get together yet (though I wouldn't mind that :P) but I just like their relationship. Always have. Even when it's just friendly banter. Also along with this, more Clark/Lois/RBB.

No villain storyline that is dragged out to unnecessary lengths. Lex and Tess are good, because they can handle whole seasons. But a villain like Doomsday really shouldn't have lasted an entire season this year. It was prolonged to the point where things got repetitive and boring, and I don't want that to happen again. It's going to make no sense if Zod next season just decides to sit back and do nothing but act threatening till the finale.

No mindwipe/time reversal episodes. I did love Infamous, but I don't want to watch an entire episode only to have it all taken away by the end of it.

Lex won't be back unless MR changes his mind, but I would love little hints that he's still alive. Nothing huge, but just little things here and there that lead to a revelation that he didn't actually die.

No Lana. Ever. I don't want her to play a part in any future storyline ever again. Just... no. Clark always regresses to beyond a believable level whenever anything has to do with her. She is his past. I want to see him going forward, not looking back.

This doesn't really have to do with storylines, but a bigger budget. I would love if they got more money to work with. I have a feeling they could do some amazing things if they could just afford to.

[alejandrita439]

1. Clois :)
2. Shelby (OMG he only appear in instict this season)
3. more clois :D
4. Erica in more episodes

10. if it is possible, bring Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy olsen back :)
11. Bring back Martha, General Lane, Lucy, Kara and others back for one episode

[Davis Bloome]

After a dark season as this one, they really have to lift up the mood of the show. That is why they should have Clark on PINK Kryptonite in some episodes LOL. Have him participate in the gay parade to support the gay society. Show that he's for gay marriage!

[rehana/chole]

allison mack as watchtower n justin as green arrow more jl episode

if we wanted too see a show abt lois an clark we would watch superman returns ,u can go watch reruns of LnC . its smallive i think all cast is importent especially chole cause unlike lois she is not annoying look i am all for lois n clark but as u said this is show abt clark kent before supermen so since lois is not part of clark life b4 he became superman (accordance 2 myth) lois only need like 5 episode . if ur said i quoto THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT A GUY WHO BECOMES SUPERMEN well if we cut chole ,jl, tess ,out of show then all we have is clark n lois (again if u want 2 see just lois n clark go watch LNC reruns)an we seen now how they end(we now there story) plus lois is clark futuer wen he is supermen not rbb.it smallive it supose 2 bee every thing abt clark people he met, the people he went too school wit (chole inculded) etc not lois n clark ,lois is not supose too meet clark untill he supermen rite.

[LJ-90]

if we wanted too see a show abt lois an clark u can go watch reruns of LnC . its smallive i thing all cast is importent especially chole cause unlike lois she is not annoying look i am all for lois n clark but as u said this is hsow abt clark kent bfore supermen so since lois si not part of clark life b4 he became superman (accordance 2 myth) lois only need like 5 episode . if ur said i quoto THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT A GUY WHO BECOMES SUPERMEN well if we cut chole ,jl, tess ,out then all we have is clark n lois an we seen now how they end up plus lois is clark futuer wen he is supermen not rbb.

Under that logic we don't need Chloe...at all, because she isn't part of clark's life IN ANY PART OF HIS LIFE (according to mythos)

Just saying...

[samanthalyn720]

If Sam Witwer is in season 9, I'll probably watch.

[jasmin28]

Lois/Clark/RBB, Perry White, more Justice League members, metallo or darkseid instead of zod but it looks like zod will be the main villain next season.

[Chloe Bloome]

If Sam Witwer is in season 9, I'll probably watch.
That;s my way of looking at it too. I will probably watch the 9th season simply because I know Davis Bloome (member) will watch it so I'll be dragged in too lol But if Sam comes back as Zod then I will actually be interested in watching the season. Hopefully they will be able to clean up the mess they left.

[rehana/chole]

Under that logic we don't need Chloe...at all, because she isn't part of clark's life IN ANY PART OF HIS LIFE (according to mythos)

Just saying...

well that true chole just not supose to be there (accorndane too comics) just like lionel,matha i think is supose too be dead by now accordane too myth, lois is not supose too meet him after he is supermen,( i gues that y she is in the future now cause she is his futuer) davis bloom not part myth either but sv is neither realy went accordance too the :cool:myth so i guess that y this show rocks,

[rogerufo]

Clark wakes up and everything we have seen so far has all been a dream - and he's just starting high school. Of course, it will take a little extra work in the make-up room to get them all looking like teenagers - or a bigger cgi budget.

[jasmin28]

if Sam comes back as Zod then I will actually be interested in watching the season.

actually yeah i agree ;) Sam Witwer is awesome

[jpfort1957]

Bring back the Martian Manhunter.

[skully]

So it's fair to say there is a fair amount of disappointment (nay, outrage) out there regarding the S8 Finale.

So let's look for the positives:

1. We know Lois will be around in S9 - maybe the search for Lois will be an interesting adventure.
2. "Clark Kent is Dead" - so is the boy becoming the Man?
3. Henry James' death - yeah it sucked but will AA's departure free up budget for CK's journey to Superman?
4. Watchtower and JLA - surely that has some mileage?
5. Zod - Clark v Zod has some interest - especially if SW plays Zod on Earth.
6. Surely some mythos characters such as Perry White will return, and maybe even Lex for an epi or 2.
7. Tess is still around to be the pseudo-Lex.

So let's not write off S9 based on a disappointing S8 Finale just yet, ay?

[xrayvision]

2. I have no interest for the type of hero they will make Clark. The mentality he showed at the end of the episode was anti-Superman. Superman sees the best in people like in that beautiful farewell letter he wrote to Metropolis earlier in the same episode.

3. They will waste the money on other things, which brings us to...

4. The JLA. They have no place on a show about Superman. Whenever they appear, it's always about them and not about Clark. Clark gets shortchanged. Other Superman characters who belong on this show, namely Jimmy Olsen, get shortchanged along with Lois (Jimmy got a whole lot worse than shortchanged). I'm not sure about the majority of people here, but for one sure as hell don't want Clark becoming Superman & being developed as a hero by working on team missions with a scumbag like Ollie or any of the other members. The only member, who's not even a member at this point, that I want to see is Martian Manhunter---John Jones. I love the character as he appears on the show and like his role as part of the Metropolis PD (similar to how he was a cop in the comics). Other than him, TPTB should have 1-2 appearances maximum by another other JLA characters to avoid changing the focus of the show. My worst fear was the creation of a Watchtower set, and now it looks certain. This will shift away from the Daily Planet and really screw the show badly. And if I ditch the show next season, it will be due to this.

5. Zod---been there done that. He's old business. I had no desires having him back. If they screwed up the fight with Doomsday, how will they make things better with Zod? I'm still waiting for Doomsday. I expect a fight with Doomsday if it has to happen in the premiere before I see any other lame fights. Also, I could care less about Zod. I thought that orb would finally link us to the Eradicator for once. They could have given us a totally different character who is both ally and an obstacle to overcome. Instead we get to see rehashed garbage. They should have brought Sam on during the season 5 finale & season 6 premiere than having Lex as Zod.

6. They killed Jimmy for the budget. I don't see Michael McKean or Michael Rosenbaum coming back. After Doomsday, if I was an actor, I would stay away from Smallville, especially actors of the caliber of those 2.

[jpfort1957]

I'm more interested in Clark becoming Superman and becoming more involved with Lois.

[Tabularasa]

So let's not write off S9 based on a disappointing S8 Finale just yet, ay?

1.) I think they're gonna pull something where Clark doesn't end up searching for her. Kind of like this season where he was supposed to search for Kara but got distracted. I'd rather see the episodes focus on an A story with Clark and a B story with Lois in the future, but seriously, keep in the future for a few episodes, not a whole arc. But then again this is Smallville so she'll probably come back at the end of episode 1. :rolleyes:

2.) He should. He's long overdue, but I still don't get all of this he's dead thing.

3.) It would, but with him and Davis gone, they'll probably, and should, add another cast member

4.) It would look that way, but we'll probably just see her working with Oliver then the whole team.

5.) I doubt he'll be playing Zod. I just don't see how they're gonna make this different from last time. Seems like they're just using old ideas now.

6.) Eh, isn't the actor who plays Perry always busy? I'd like him for an episode. If this is the last season (Please be the last season!) maybe he make a cameo in the last episode. And Lex needs to be in the last 2.

7.) I never thought she even compared to Lex.

[Welling_is_pretty]

OK, I have developed a personal theory:
Clark was influenced by traces of Black K while fighting Doomsday and split into "Clark" and "Kal". Kal is the one we saw at the end of Season 8. Clark is still buried with Doomsday, in a kind of stasis, perhaps, prompting Kal to say "Clark Kent is Dead".

Season 9 will be all about "kal" and bringing Clark and Kal back together again.

Hey, it's a theory!

[mr lane]

give me an ep that gives some back history on Lois please

maybe have clark time travel to krypton before it exploded or an AU

[itashy]

also its smart to think how clark will be able to defeat zod...now...clark 1 has given up his human emotions or so he says 2 he knows davis is bad and nothing left to save...but tess destroyed his phantom zone crystal,supergirl has his bluish silver superman symbol he used the first time right? also even if they bring laura back and clark gets the crystal,zods not stupid enough to fall for that twice...only other choice is to use the red and gold crystal..the one that was smashed...now an interesting story would go like this...lois arrives at the 31st century,looks dazed and almost mugged before a red and blue blur flying saves her,not seeing his face,she then meets rokk...rokk tells her that was superman.../later lois telling the rbb something like "your not a hero,your a super...superman" giving clark the idea/ anyway rokk tells lois to focus on the day the legion came...but just a little earlier...and has lois go and take the crystal while at the wedding...then it wouldnt be destroyed...then just have lois hold onto it until "the time is needed" flash forward from then to the present day and here comes zod...idk sorry just some ideas...i very seriously doubt any of this would ever happen in smallville but i just like to voice my ideas

[LovelyLoisLane]

Lois

She travels to 3009 and the Legion find her immediately and realise that they can't let her go on knowing what she knows, so someone does something so she forgets a lot of things and is sent back to her own time.

She won't know Clark and will think the first time she met him is when he comes back to the DP in Season Nine, but she'll still feel a 'connection' to both Clark and The Red Blue Blur, while Clark remembers Lois and is stuck between a rock and his feelings.

This is my fear. I don't like mindwipes.

Clark

He takes on a hero mantle in a more complete way but pulls away from humanity, thinking of himself as only Kryptonian . . . or at least trying to.

When Lois returns, and she gets to know both sides of him all over again, he begins to retain some of his lost hope because of how much hope she has in the Red Blue Blur, even the second time around. Then through the Justice League his faith in humanity is restored.

There will also likely be a big nasty villain, Zod, to contend with and maybe even Doomsday still and that will continue to make him regain his previous heroic stance.


The Red Blue Blur will become even more a character (hopefully getting a nicer name eventually) and we might see Clark Kent become a disguise at times, more dorky and such. Also not what I hope for. Though for God's sake, give the man some GLASSES!


Chloe

She will fully embrace her role as the Watchtower and may be involved in a romance with one of the Justice League members (not Clark) We will see her used more in more of the superhero subplots as Watchtower becomes not only headquarters but more of a character as well and part of the action.

Little Jimmy may grow up if there is a time jump and Chloe might bond with him.


Those are the only characters I can speculate about right now and I could be really far off the marker. Who knows.

Everything thing else . . . I don't know at all.

[melissan02]

This is my fear. I don't like mindwipes, but I can deal with it I guess.

OMG! This is what I'm fearful of most!:( That Lois will return w/ no knowledge of Clark or the RBB! I don't see how they could conceivably do this, but then again......I didn't see how they could give us Jimmy Olsen the past few seasons, then tell us he wasn't THE Jimmy Olsen:rolleyes:, and kill him!!!!!:mad:
If Lois comes back only to start at square one, I'll be finished completely!:mad: Ya'll enjoy!

[bluewolv1970]

well you know I do not think that is going to happen I am almost certain that lois will play a role in how clark survived the geothermal explosion and or changing things if zod takes takes over metropolis while clark is doing his spirit walk or you know they may do a jump in time by a few years (though doubtful because by that point zod would rule the planet)

[LoveHurts38]

I will love Erica and Tom.

[BAMAGIRL]

I'll watch S9 to see how on earth will Lois return and if it still captures my attention, I'll keep watching it.

Same here, but I'm betting that Lois will be "missing" for the first 5 or 6 episodes, with her name barely mentioned. That is how Smallville rolls. :mad:

[johnr90]

I had this posted as a reply randomly somewhere and decided to post a thread out of it.

Here's my theory on the whole mass of crazy that happened in the finale.
In my opinion, the season 9 finale will start somewhere in the future (bear with me)
Lois will have somehow got transported there, and by that time, little Jimmy will be at least teenager or so.
Clark will of course still look the same, he's Superman after all.
Then I think it will show an older version of Chloe (still played by Allison Mack of course)
Whether or not it ends up changing back to the original Smallville decade, I don't know.
But think about it, it would fix the weird Jimmy age gap, give a interesting way to kick off the season and give a point to Lois' seemingly random 'trip to the future'
It's just a hunch.
That or they'll have Lois come back in time to fix all the mess that happened in the finale, which could still be very interesting.
But really, why bring in a new Jimmy Olson character, if they're going to bring the old one back.
Aaron never really fit the picture I had of Jimmy anyways. Aaron was honestly just a bit too 'cool' too be Jimmy. As silly as that sounds. He didn't care for the bow-tie, he was married to Lois' cousin (don't you think that would've come up in a Superman movie somewhere?), and lastly I could never see the geeky, Jimmy Olson from the Superman movies becoming addicted to prescription pills. I guess they have to put a real-life twist on the Smallville characters (it isn't the seventy's after all) but I just thought that was taking it a notch too far. That's disrupting the core of Jimmy's character. His morals. I think this was a safe way out (but maybe a waste of 3 seasons as well)
But also, a weird time gap would probably make a big impact on Lois' life as well.
I just don't know, they could be doing anything. Any ideas?

[vhtcb76]

Hey everybody this is my first post here. This is a great site and I enjoy reading all of your insights.
Anyhow, I think season 9 looks interesting. I don't think we'll see Eradicator, but I could be wrong. I mean, I'm surprised we've seen Doomsday and that we're discussing season 9! Wow, time flies! Too bad Clark doesn't, ha I digress.

I see Lois doing the classic "changing the timeline" bit at some point.
Yet the "Faux Jimmy" will stay dead somehow.
(Note: Ashmore played a good Jimmy Olsen)
Also Lois' time travel may somehow alter history and allow Clark to become the bumbling, glasses wearing Clark etc. Ah, we shall see....
Though I gotta say some of the theories you guys have posted here
would be pretty stellar if they show could pull them off.

[skully]

Welcome aboard Vince. Hopefully you can enjoy the ride through S9 with us.

Clark said he did not know how he got out of the hole where he put doomsday. Im thinking next season premiere we will get some answers cause i think Lois did something to change history and Clark had help getting out from who thats the question

i think some how lois changed everything about clark because in that season finale he was really acting wierd.

I really love the idea of a season-long General Zod storyline. I mean think about it, in "Superman II" that movie only had 2 hours to 1. set up Zod 2. have him create mayhem for a while and 3. get taken down by Reeve's Superman.

In Seasons 5/6, we only got to see Zod for 2 episodes.

Now we can finally have him as a main villain for a longer while, which should be fun. Especially since in the S5 finale/S6 premiere we saw that Smallville has a modernized version of Zod: cold and cruel, without the cheesier elements from the movie.

So yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing General Zod in action next year.

[wafflles87]

Pros for S9:

Lois will be there.
Clark will be there.

Cons for S9:

Jimmy Olsen is dead.
Chloe will be there.
Chloe will apparently have a big role to play with the JL.
Zod is apparently back.
Clark Kent gave up his humanity, he's basically dead.
Jimmy Olsen is dead!!

And I'm not gonna go on, cause if I do I'll prolly talk myself out watching even the premiere.

[The_Promise]

There's only ONE appropriate thing for me to post that sums up my feelings:

"Where Do We Go From Here?" from the Buffy The Vampire Musical

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

(Dawn) Where do we go from here?

(Buffy & Spike) Where do we go from here?

(Giles) The battle's done, and we kind of won,
(& Tara) So we sound our victory che -er.
Where do we go from here?

(Xander & Anya) Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near?

(All) Understand we'll go hand-in-hand
But we'll walk alone in fear.

(Giles) - Tell me!

(All) Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
When do the trumpets cheer?

The curtains close on a kiss, God knows
We can tell the end is ne - ar

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

LOIS BETTER PLAY A BIG PART IN SEASON 9!!!!
Do u hear that PS?

I want more LOIS & CLARK..pretty please:D

[VicNew]

Although it's the worst season finale... BUT I WILL WATCH UNTIL THE END... After all, I have been watching this show for 8 years!!

That's exactly how I feel!

That's EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw the title!

[malft]

Pardon me if someone has provided this answer before but, wading through 16 pages of this stuff is daunting. Davis drove the pipe through Jimmy easily because he is...anyone ...anyone... a Kryptonian. Say it together, KRYPTONIAN. That makes him super duper on Earth. As a footnote it is suprisingly difficult to kill a human being, they are resilient. That was not in the report.

[dezperado]

It's kinda funny that people that are so pissed and claiming they won't watch Season 9 are still on the shows forums, checking everything out. If they're so pissed, and have given up, then why are they still here b!tchen about it? LOL.

[supercatmom]

I voted yes but it should have been maybe.
It all depends on what direction season 9 goes in.
Most of season 8 was good with Clark finally making progress towards becoming Superman.
If this progress doesn't continue in season 9, then I may stop watching SV.
That saying alot since I have watched the show since Day One.

:lol:...
My first thought when I saw this thread was this... Buffy the Musical !!

[xrayvision]

As a footnote it is suprisingly difficult to kill a human being, they are resilient. That was not in the report.

This is what I've been trying to say. I don't know what's so hard for some to understand it. Davis is not human. Bloodline provides all the answers:

1. Faora said that Davis is the son of Zod & her.

2. Faora said he is the spitting image of his father (Zod).

3. Faora also told Davis "You arrived here as genetic matter, containing our planet's most powerful life forms". Those 2 life forms are Doomsday, who is of a prehistoric (pre-humanoid) race, and Davis, who is of the modern day Kryptonian race (like Clark). There were no humans on Krypton & even if there were, humans wouldn't be one of the most powerful life forms on Krypton.

4. Yet another thing Faora said to Davis was "Your body is still evolving". This could be taken as Davis' body was in a state of ongoing flux, at times showing the strengths & weaknesses of the 2 life forms that comprised him. Unlike hybrid Davis' Kryptonian (Davis) side, his Doomsday side was not immune to the impaling that Faora gave him until it happened. Over the course of the season, the hybrid Davis was losing more & more control to his Doomsday side. This means that had no black-k split happened, Doomsday would have ultimately taken over hybrid Davis-Doomsday. You could think of it just like evil Lex taking over Lex's body and making good Lex a very small portion of the overall Lex. The good Lex will always be there, but signs of him would rarely be seen, if at all. The case with the Davis-Doomsday hybrid being is the same except that the 2 sides are different species (life forms) altogether. In reality, Doomsday wasn't allowed to take completely over the Davis-Doomsday hybrid being. It was on the verge of happening when the 2 beings were split off. Once the split occured, the 2 pure life forms would finally exhibit their own powers.

My point is that Davis was too low on his supply of solar radiation, which allowed Jimmy to impale him. But once he was exposed to enough solar radiation, his wound would have healed like Raya's stabwound from when she was in the Phantom Zone. He would have to be alive for Zod to possess him.

I personally think that Davis, not Clark, is the real Traveler. The Traveler & Veritas all started in Justice & Doom where Gertrude, Genevieve Teague's ancestor from the 1600's (seen in Lana's dream in Bound), had a vision of Zod in the 1600's. I'm guessing the vision was through the orb since it was the secret of Veritas & guarded/hidden greatly. So I think it would be fitting that the Traveler was the son of Zod, whom Gertrude made contact with. And not only the son of Zod, but Zod's eventual vessel. My theory is that everything got confused when Dr. Swann received Jor-El's message from Clark's ship as it was in space. From that point on, the Traveler would be viewed as a savior instead of a destroyer. Edward Teague even talked about 2 interpretations in Quest. I believe the original & real interpretation was that he was a destroyer.

Based on all this, I'm saying that once Davis rose from the morgue following his recovery, the orb controlled him, as it was supposed to control the Traveler (a big plot during season 7), by summoning him to the Luthor mansion where it unleashed Zod's phantom on him, permanently taking possession of his body. It's even possible that Davis' own spirit was swapped with Zod's & will be trapped in the orb from the time the possession takes place to the end of time. Notice how Clark wasn't controlled by the orb after Lex placed it in the Fortress even though he lost his powers. The point of Jor-El taking away his powers was to nullify him from being a threat if he was controlled by the orb. But he was never controlled, so I'd say Clark wasn't the Traveler. Clark instead is Naman (the savior) & the figure of the prophecy of the Kryptonian who started the Kawatche tribe while the Traveler is the destroyer (Davis) & the figure of the vision of Gertrude who started the Veritas society.

This means that the metaphorical death was Davis' death (since he recovered but was consumed by Zod) while Clark really did die as Rokk said he would.

[shamville]

I see chloe in season 9 at the LEGION headquarters. Probably 3 months she try find lois she find her.

[K!D CHAO$]

Clark said he did not know how he got out of the hole where he put doomsday. Im thinking next season premiere we will get some answers cause i think Lois did something to change history and Clark had help getting out from who thats the question


Lets pray to god they go way back to when he could keeps those glasses-season 2?
not sure-
But ya, or maybe MMH got powers back and helped, or Rokk didnt wanna leave his buddy hangin, or...............

anyway-

DEF ON BOARD YALL!:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:: rotfl::eek:

[Supermania]

Of course I'm watching. Good or bad (and I thought this episode was fantastic), I'm sticking with this show. My interest lies with Clark Kent, and his journey to becoming Superman... season 9, I can't wait.

I totally agree. Smallville is one of the only few shows I watch and I think it has grown up so much since its first season. I would be mad not to continue watching Clark Kent's journey towards becoming Superman. If I weren't to watch S9, it would be like turning back after a very long and arduous journey!

[Mad Madam Mimm]

I am in it until the very end, bitter, blissful, or otherwise. After investing in 8 seasons, I can't turn it off now - it would be like watching a 6 hour movie and turning it off 30 minutes before the end. I have to know how they end it.

I am re-watching season 8 now, as I got to wondering what I thought about season 8 in toto, and I think this was a better season on the whole than people give it credit for, but that is a thought best reserved for another thread...

I agree with the poster who said they'd have to replace the all with socks...

Okay, I admit it, if TW left, I'd probably bail out too...

:lol: Awesome! I thought the same!

[Rahaf]

I lost interest in this show and nothing about tonight's episode is enough to bring me back in September.
I'm finally free!!! WOOOOOOOOOO! :lol:

Have some faith!!! maybe it will be the LAST SEASON!
deep down inside dont u wanna know what finally happens?!! I would!!:p

[bennyjr123]

The way I see it, the people who are leaving arent the ones whoever REALLY LOVED the show. The ones that are leaving are the ones who liked where it was before. The ones who are staying are the ones who love the show itself and are interested in where its going. I am one of those people.

[DarkKal]

Been watching since day one, I will stop watching when the show officially ends.

[LanaLover22]

What I don't understand is that if you are not gonna watch the show anymore why would you still continue to write on this forum?:confused:

This is true. For me Smallville equals love.

This right here is a bunch of b.s i just can't believe how ignorant you sound. I am just amazed maybe the people who are leaving just can't stand how horrible this show has gotten and it pains them to see how once good show has been shrunked down to mediocrity. And who are you to define what a true fan is? i just can not believe how condescending you.

Don't call someone ignorant lest you yourself sound ignorant. You feel it has gone down hill but for me the show has continued to grow in scope, with ORIGINAL story lines that I dug. For me it's enjoyable and keeps getting better. For you, not so much, but that doesn't mean everyone who does like it and will defend it is ignorant, and vice versa.

[Smallville Vamp]

Will I watch season 9? Oh yeah, I can hardly wait for season 9 to start which I personally think may turn out to be the BEST season of the series to date! I recently added season 8 to my DVD collection and planning to get season 9 when it's released and HOPING for a season 10! Not sure if that defines a true fan or not but I sure think it beats trolling the threads screaming how much this show sucks nowadays!!!

maybe i did come off as ignorant myself my bad, i just got annoyed at how he classified that only true fans love the show which i think is false. I may criticize the show a lot but it's because i expected better but i wouldn't deem myself as any less of a fan who is optimistic. i really hope s9 is great .

[Tartfox]

Been watching Smallville since day one, and while I'm glad it's stuck around throughout the years the quality of the show does fluctuate. I'll be checking out season 9, though I'm afraid since the CW moved it from Thursday to Friday nights it might lose some of its audience.
