Here's to Jimmy!!!!!! GoodBye to Aaron.....leave your thoughts

[KalEl's Destiny]

Thought I'd make a tribute thread for everyone who wants to pay their respects to Jimmy.

R.I.P. :(

[eggie]

You will be missed Mr. Olsen...you were a great asset to the show.

[FLyxNERD]

Rip Henry Olsen.....


*waits while the real iconic jimmy finishes high school*

['Tonio09]

Bye Jimmy :(

[super_j_man]

At least now we know he's not the real Jimmy Olsen from the comics. I was actually relieved at that part. The Jimmy in Smallville had strayed far away from what I wanted him to be. But tonight I will truly miss him now. It would have been cool to see him knowing Clark's secret.

[Niad]

that's retarded clark was supposed to die by doomsday

[roccanater]

Too bad.

[psyko69]

Will it stick?

It better not!!!

[Tatiana]

I still can't believe it, I am so sad, I was so happy when he found out about Clark...I was jumping up and down, I am glad to see he saved Chloe and he redeemed himself at the end and she told him she loved him, but man...how can he die? isn't he part of the mythos?

[Lauren_17]

Poor Jimmy. I wanted Chloe to heal him so bad.

[Kamakzie]

Ummmm.. Chloe still have the ability to heal the dead/dying right?? Why didn't she do that with Jimmy?

[disciples of zod]

^^ agree!

I think i died a little. I'm so sad. Can't believe it.

~H

[ThunderMonkey]

That young kid in the bow tie and camera is the real iconic Jimmy Olsen. His big brother will be missed, and finally explains why Jimmy Olsen isn't at least 5-10 years younger then Clark.

[Ella]

I don't think the death will stick. If it does, I will be pissed. I don't want that little boy as Jimmy. I want THE real Jimmy Olsen!

[SupermanRox]

OMG...I'm in shock! I just can't believe it.

[Tatiana]

At least now we know he's not the real Jimmy Olsen from the comics. I was actually relieved at that part. The Jimmy in Smallville had strayed far away from what I wanted him to be. But tonight I will truly miss him now. It would have been cool to see him knowing Clark's secret.



oh so that's what it meant, so his brother is the real jimmy? wow he is much younger than Clark and Lois then, aww but I liked the Smallville Jimmy and he had finally found out about Clark and I loved how he worked with Lois

[Supsfan]

I thought "Henry's" dad was a drunk guy who Henry doesn't communicate with. I also love how Chloe married Henry James Olsen and had no clue who his brother was.

[Mrs. Superman]

I hate that he wasn't the real Jimmy! I came to love this Jimmy only to be slapped on the face and told "Nope thats not him"....ugh this is as bad as I felt after P/R...maybe even worse.

[xrayvision]

The killed the big 3. What a shame & a disgrace. :(

[fan of the man]

that's retarded clark was supposed to die by doomsday

It looks as if this is being setup like the animated Doomsday, in it Doomdays was release from an underground cave, like the one he is trapped inside as of tonight. Even if he doesn't appear on Smallville again he is placed in the underground cave like the film.

[disciples of zod]

I think i just died a little too. Jimmy....I LOVE YOU! :(

~K

[Tatiana]

Ummmm.. Chloe still have the ability to heal the dead/dying right?? Why didn't she do that with Jimmy?


I thought she had lost that once she got the brainiac inside her, that's why she couldn't save Clark in Odyssey, I cried when Jimmy died, not as much as I would have if Clark died..but man that was sad. Poor Chloe too, I am so shocked

[Ella]

That young kid in the bow tie and camera is the real iconic Jimmy Olsen. His big brother will be missed, and finally explains why Jimmy Olsen isn't at least 5-10 years younger then Clark.
That explains the age difference. Now what's going to explain the character of Chloe and her past 8 years? I'm only saying this because bringing up the age issue as to why Jimmy Olsen is dead is a copout to me. AA's Jimmy Olsen is THE Jimmy Olsen and I'm not going to swallow that this little kid will be him in the future. That's BS to me.

[Krypto~Luan]

I didnt like him till he died. 0_0, goodbye jimmy.

[haydenclaireheroes]

i would add to this tribute thread. Jimmy was a great charecter. He was a friend and a son. He was ment for great things to be the best photographer and to be a team with lois and clark. But it didn't happen he is dead. but i really hope some how they bring him back because he was a great charecter and had was a trustworthy person to all.

[Tinyeppy]

I felt the same way about Jimmy not being the really James Olsen. The kid brother is the comic James Olsen. It's the only reason why they will do that scene.

Jimmy is suppose to be younger to CK and he never married Chole.

They just fixed the myth in regards to Jimmy Olsen.

But I will say I really will miss Jimmy. He was a good guy at heart. RIP

[KalEl's Destiny]

I posted this in another thread dealing with Jimmy. Here are my thoughts...

I didn't see this coming. I had heard there were supposed to be deaths, but Jimmy was the LAST person I would have suspected...so sad. But people are right, the young kid is the real Jimmy from the comics if they stick to the story. Found this on wikipedia from Jimmy Olsen:

"In the finale of Season 8, Jimmy is killed by Davis Bloome who was, at the time, very much human. At his funeral, his full name is revealed to be Henry James Olsen, not James Bartholomew Olsen. His camera is given to his younger brother. His name is not mentioned but the boy is wearing a bowtie leading to the possibility this is the Jimmy Olsen that will befriend Superman."

Props to Smallville for sticking to the comic storyline. But I am extremely sad that the Jimmy that we know and love appears to be gone forever :(

[zorasuperman]

yes i too feel :(
how could they kill the big 3
especially JIMBO (:(

[Lexsghost]

I don't think the death will stick. If it does, I will be pissed. I don't want that little boy as Jimmy. I want THE real Jimmy Olsen!

The show wont be on long enough for that little kid to be the new jimmy. Jimmy from smallville is dead.

[LoisLaneJournalist]

Bye Jimmy! i Love u!!

I`ll Miss You!!

Do you know Where`s Lois?

[dru-zod2501]

wow, didn't see it coming at all

[ThunderMonkey]

That explains the age difference. Now what's going to explain the character of Chloe and her past 8 years? I'm only saying this because bringing up the age issue as to why Jimmy Olsen is dead is a copout to me. AA's Jimmy Olsen is THE Jimmy Olsen and I'm not going to swallow that this little kid will be him in the future. That's BS to me.
It's a bit of an idiotic cop out I'll give you that. And I'll totally agree that AA played a terrific Jimmy. It just turns out that isn't the Jimmy we know from the comic books.

[MetroGirl06]

RIP Jimmy...

Okay, moving on now.

[Vergon6]

The killed the big 3. What a shame & a disgrace. :(
Lois is missing, not dead.

[ChErRy]

It was shocking, and I don't like it. But, I didn't like this episode AT ALL.

So this little kid is actually Jimmy. Lets assume he's...9. Clark is 23. That means when Clark is 32, Jimmy will be the comic-book age of 18 and working at the daily planet. If the kid is younger, let's say...7, Clark will be 30 when they meet. If he's older, let's say 11, Clark will be freaking 34 when they meet.

That doesn't add up for me.

[Vergon6]

Goodbye Jimmy. We will miss you :(

[xrayvision]

Lois is missing, not dead.

I know. What I meant is that there is no more big 3. Now it's just Clark & Lois left. It's obvious the direction this show is going towards after seeing that building and that's towards becoming the DC version of Heroes with the JLA being the central theme. This is the worst thing that could happen to the show because it will mean it's no longer about Superman.

[thehenry89]

This is like chlois but for Jimmy...epic fail!

[myankskent]

What a waste. I'm sorry they brought Jimmy onto the show. What a horrendous end for a DC comics character.

[ThunderMonkey]

That doesn't add up for me.
That move was made to line up one portion of the story into the mythos. So we'll say the kid is 11, and him and Clark will work at the Daily Planet together when Clarks 30.

[rebecavaldez]

It better not stick. But I have a feeling they are going to make his little brother into the real Jimmy Olsen in the future!

[tyson08]

It makes sense and a wonderful twist by the producers. The REAL Jimmy Olsen is supposed to be much younger than Clark and Lois, which they corrected.

[Ella]

For all intensive purpose, Aaron Ashmore has been playing THE iconic Jimmy Olsen. He's done interviews representing that persona and in the story he has been referred to "James Bartholomew Olsen." So he IS Jimmy.

If Jimmy does not return, will you buy this basic cop out that his little brother is the real Jimmy Olsen?

I won't buy it because if he does not return (that's AA) then I view this whole story as being something the writers pulled out of their behinds at the last minute. It's clear that AA was playing the real Jimmy Olsen. This year they decide to screw with him and then kill him? And now we're supposed to believe that he really wasn't the iconic Jimmy Olsen?

I don't buy it. Do you?

[marcella]

Good bye Jimmy:(

[thehenry89]

What a waste. I'm sorry they brought Jimmy onto the show. What a horrendous end for a DC comics character.

agree 100%

[Baron Karza]

We're in a recession. So... no, I wouldn't buy it even if I had the money.

[Timester]

Of course I do, that was the point of the death.

[disciples of zod]

No! I refuse to believe it...Jimmy can't be...can't be...DEAD! *sobs*

~H

[The Great Ymmij]

I guess I'm one of the few that actually liked how the little brother is the true Jimmy Olsen from the comics. Smallville is slowly aligning with the comics...

[ThunderMonkey]

I guess I'm one of the few that actually liked how the little brother is the true Jimmy Olsen from the comics. Smallville is slowly aligning with the comics...
Overall the episode was a "meh" episode, but I did like that touch.

Sorry to AA for the loss of his job though.

[Karafan1]

I'm thinking Clark might use the Legion ring to change Jimmy's death..But he has to get it back from Lois first..

[Ella]

Of course I do, that was the point of the death.
Yes, but do you believe that it was their plan all along to have this Jimmy not be the real Jimmy or is it something they just pulled out all of a sudden this season? I believe the latter. Therefore I don't buy it because it seems like a cop out to me. Even if the story chooses to go that way, I just won't buy it as credible.

[EternallyWaiting]

Aaron Ashmore was a really good Jimmy Olsen. I'll miss him, but I'm relieved that the mythos is lining up a little bit more. I'm not disappointed, it was an interesting twist. Now lets see if the real Jimmy Olsen gets an unexpected nephew!

[griffolyon12]

I kinda liked the idea that he wasn't the real Jimmy Olsen. Sure it did kinda feel as if it was a cop out, but at the same time there were so many things about the Smallville Jimmy that weren't anything like the real Jimmy from the comics. So I buy the idea that his younger brother is the real Jimmy. Plus, aren't there a lot of people who for a long time wanted Chloe to be the real Lois Lane? This isn't all that different folks.

[haydenclaireheroes]

i do not believe he is dead chloe pulled the same trick in season 4.

[samanthalyn720]

I feel bad for AA and was a little bit sad at Jimmy's death, but Jimmy was never really a character that interested me very much, so I can believe it. I'm more pissed off about the 360 w/ Davis to be honest. But I am sorry for all you Jimmy fans out there...

[bigblueplanet]

This is like chlois but for Jimmy...epic fail!


What a waste. I'm sorry they brought Jimmy onto the show. What a horrendous end for a DC comics character.

ITA to both posts.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...... :mad:

[Dominicus]

well "Henry" is dead, not little Jimmy aparently. I still say nothing's confirmed untl Lois stops traveling in time, unless she traveled like time jump six months after the fact, which would make everything as it is now, stick. In march, I said the cop out scenario would've been, Jimmy, however I never thought they would do a switcharoo on the character, I'm impressed with that.

[Faby]

That young kid in the bow tie and camera is the real iconic Jimmy Olsen. His big brother will be missed, and finally explains why Jimmy Olsen isn't at least 5-10 years younger then Clark.

I agree with you 100%. In the comics, Jimmy is still a kid when Clark is already Superman. The little brother was wearing a bow tie too, so cute. Anyways, at least the they didn't leave a big plot hole on that one....:rolleyes:

[Dominicus]

Yes, but do you believe that it was their plan all along to have this Jimmy not be the real Jimmy or is it something they just pulled out all of a sudden this season? I believe the latter. Therefore I don't buy it because it seems like a cop out to me. Even if the story chooses to go that way, I just won't buy it as credible.No it wasn't that was something they came up with to justify the death as oppose to Chloe, but it was a good one that cleans up the mistakes of the previous writers..

[Timester]

They are fixing AlMiles' mess. Yes, the show is still full of it.

[nipvillesmlltuk]

After re-thinking about it for a while, I have to say YES...I do buy it.

[myankskent]

They are fixing AlMiles' mess. Yes, the show is still full of it.

I'm sorry Bruno, but I have to disagree with you here. PS are just making more of a mess. They destroyed the Clark/Doomsday storyline and killing off Jimmy was awful. Plus, they destroyed Clark's character even more by having everything be his fault. This is no different than the garbage that Al/Miles gave us.

[superman07]

I will miss Jimmy but it does make a bit of sense because SV Jimmy was never really like the original Jimmy of comics. But still R.I.P. Henry 'Jimmy' Olsen

[vyperman7]

Personally I think the new Jimmy is a good idea, because the ages will match up now. I am actually suprised to see all of this public outcry for AA's Jimmy because I never really cared about him all that much on the show. It is good to know that the true JO now exists and that we won't end up with a depressed drug addict.

[mr lane]

I also thought them bringing in jimmy and lois so soon was a cop out

but AA played jimmy so well and he wore the bow tie

he had the wholesome attitude

he called Clark, CK

to have anyone else come in and try to fill that role is just a big cop out

i hope they leave jimmy out of the rest of the series now

[Chlarkislove]

Okay AA is the real Jimmy. Just because he goes by his middle name doesn't make him a fake Jimmy. This little kid will be a fake Jimmy trying to be iconic Jimmy who is deceased.

I never liked him and Chloe together but I did like him as Jimmy minus the Chloe relationship. I thought AA did a good job as Jimmy Olsen.

[chloesmygirl]

Again for those that may have forgotten: The two deaths will stick. So no they won't be bringing AA back.

[rebecavaldez]

Jimmy's little brother will be the real JO...but who says I have to like it!

[hamburgers]

pouring a sip out my 40oz for jimmy, I do welcome the real jimmy olsen tho

[Ella]

I'm sorry Bruno, but I have to disagree with you here. PS are just making more of a mess. They destroyed the Clark/Doomsday storyline and killing off Jimmy was awful. Plus, they destroyed Clark's character even more by having everything be his fault. This is no different than the garbage that Al/Miles gave us.
Quoted for truth.

[Lilah]

Rip Henry Olsen.....


*waits while the real iconic jimmy finishes high school*

I'm sorry, but your post made me smile.... lol...

I do miss Jimmy already though... Aaron Ashmore has been the best incarnation thus far... I liked him way better than the guy from the movies, or the other tv shows or even cartoons.... I will definitely miss him.

I do feel its a cop out... but it does align with the mythos.... so0o0o... I'm torn. All I know is I'll miss Smallville's Jimmy Olsen. :0(

[Ella]

Okay AA is the real Jimmy. Just because he goes by his middle name doesn't make him a fake Jimmy. This little kid will be a fake Jimmy trying to be iconic Jimmy who is deceased.

I never liked him and Chloe together but I did like him as Jimmy minus the Chloe relationship. I thought AA did a good job as Jimmy Olsen.

Thank for you saying this. I agree. I'll miss AA. :(

[Lilah]

Again for those that may have forgotten: The two deaths will stick. So no they won't be bringing AA back.

Well, AA could still come back if they decide to move into the future a few years this season or next.... AA could look like he's in high school easy....

Sorry, just wishful thinking on my part.... I already miss Aaron.... :0(

[colibri]

This was a retcon plain and simple. And I agree that the metaphorical deaths were the big 3 at the planet. Clark, Lois and Jimmy will be reborn to match the comic books.

[Ella]

Hey guys, now Jimmy Olsen is TOO YOUNG to be THE iconic Olsen. Will they kill him again next year until they get it just right? :rolleyes:

[Timester]

They destroyed the Clark/Doomsday storyline

Far from it, now Clark and Doomsday will meet in the future. The Davis storyline was the one that ended.


and killing off Jimmy was awful.

Killing off anyone would be awful. At least they worked out a ballsy solution. If you read my posts, I haven't yet said anything about being good or bad, for a reason.


Plus, they destroyed Clark's character even more by having everything be his fault.

Yes, it's bad, but what has he decided to do? Going to the FOS. Something that past Clark would NEVER do.

[Dominicus]

Again for those that may have forgotten: The two deaths will stick. So no they won't be bringing AA back.If those are in fact the final deaths, since Lois is traveling through time as expected, this game is hardly over. But, I was wondeing why Jimmy was so smart, smarter then Lois and Clark combined, because he's not Jimmy Olsen.

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


Hey guys, now Jimmy Olsen is TOO YOUNG to be THE iconic Olsen. Will they kill him again next year until they get it just right? :rolleyes:No, he's roundabout the right age, looks 13, another 10-15 years and he should be working a thirty-five yr old Clark.

[myankskent]

Far from it, now Clark and Doomsday will meet in the future. The Davis storyline was the one that ended.


I'm not really interested in the future. I'm interested in the show and on this show, Doomsday and Clark were supposed to have a big fight. TPTB kept saying in their interviews that this season was building towards that and I don't see how "Doomsday" was satisfying in that regard.



Killing off anyone would be awful. At least they worked out a ballsy solution. If you read my posts, I haven't yet said anything about being good or bad, for a reason.


It's a ballsy solution, but it's also a lousy one. I can't give TPTB credit for basically taking a character that they brought onto the show in season 6 and killing him off, then giving his name to a young boy who we never met and who we will likely never see again. As much as I hate to say it, Chlois would've been better than this because at least we know who Chloe is and she has had some sort of development. This was just pure trash.



Yes, it's bad, but what has he decided to do? Going to the FOS. Something that past Clark would NEVER do.

I don't know if he's going to the FOS. What I do know is that he is going to throw his Clark Kent identity away and that is not the Superman story. The Superman story was what the beginning of this season was. Now, it's anything but.

[Darth Pipes]

Total copout. We got the death of Jimmy Olson...oh wait, I mean Not Jimmy Olson.

[Timester]

I'm not really interested in the future. I'm interested in the show and on this show, Doomsday and Clark were supposed to have a big fight. TPTB kept saying in their interviews that this season was building towards that and I don't see how "Doomsday" was satisfying in that regard.

Are you surprised? I'm not. ;)

You know me well, so the ;) is enough for you to understand. :p

I will wait for the fallout of the episode. We have 4 months until the next episode. The name mistake is done, they can't undone that, but in 4 months, we can post alot of possible solutions and hope (actually, we know they do read) they read them.

And honestly, there was and whole other place begging for Jimmy/Lois death.


I don't know if he's going to the FOS. What I do know is that he is going to throw his Clark Kent identity away and that is not the Superman story. The Superman story was what the beginning of this season was. Now, it's anything but.

Actually, it is, and one of those many times is happening right now on the comics. Clark left Earth for New Krypton.

[zorasuperman]

RIP
Henry I guess?

[Clark_smallville4ever]

I think this is a great.

when i first saw him i was just like o i like how he will prob come a reporter and follow in jimmys footsteps and now i think its even better how he is the "Real" jimmy olsen adding ties to the mythos although..

i will miss AA as jimmy olsen :(

[LoveHurts38]

The killed the big 3. What a shame & a disgrace. :(

That's the way I saw it too.

[Alicia Chipy]

Dammit I HATE being bamboozled into rooting for a fake Jimmy for all these years.
I will miss AA he was a good actor.

[smilingalways2]

Simply unacceptable!!!

What a horrible "loophole" they created to kill THE Jimmy Olsen...introducing a younger brother who doesn't exist. This is worse than the Lana Arc. Who knew that could happen!!!

I'm sad that the iconic real Jimmy Olsen died in SV. He was so great, especially, in this episode. I was fine with an older James Bartholomew Olsen. Yes. That's who he is and always will be to me.

I'll miss Aaron Ashmore's portrayal of him.

(Here's hoping PS3 and Lois will undo his death).

[Tigergal05]

Read it and weep..
http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/05/smallville-excl.html
During that funeral scene not once did I think Jimmy's little brother was the Jimmy we know from the mythos. Even when Chloe gave him that camera..

[pizzahead2490]

it was really sad. but i never knew that jimmy frst name was henery. he is not the reall jimmy. :(

[Tigergal05]

it was really sad. but i never knew that jimmy frst name was henery. he is not the reall jimmy. :(
I don't think anyone did, and that was the twist..the writers made sure to pinpoint his full name at his funeral..Henry James Olsen..hence he isn't the Jimmy Olsen we all know from the mythos, his little brother (who Chloe gave the camera to) is the actual Jimmy; VERY crafty writers, though I hate to see Aaron Ashmore leave-still feels kind of surreal. I don't think the majority of fans thought that it would be him who died, because we all thought he was mythos, which PS1 has clearly pointed out he is/was not/never was..

[Kschreck]

I threw up a little in my mouth as this episode unfolded. It's bad enough the budget is beyond mediocre but why does the writing have to be? :(

[Honey45]

Complete and total BS. What a copout. Are we supposed to believe that the little brother will match Jimmy's EXACT mannerisms, sayings, etc? How stupid and lazy on the part of the writers. I'm sorry, but it is. I would have preferred a Lana death over this crap. I'm so incredibly unimpressed and embarassed right now..

Where is the old Smallville I used to know and love? I'm so sick of Chloeville. I get that the fans like her, but come on. The show is out of hand and all over the place.

[Exedore]

I actually did joke weeks ago that AA's Jimmy would die and he will be replaced by a younger kid who is the right age for the iconic Jimmy. I didn't think they'd actually do it though.

[bigblueplanet]

Dammit I HATE being bamboozled into rooting for a fake Jimmy for all these years.
I will miss AA he was a good actor.

Yeah, that's the thing. I invested my feelings for this Jimmy ever since he was introduced in the show. I feel totally cheated. No matter what.

[Sports72Xtrm]

Sigh...I guess I'm a little pissed but...they didn't technically mess up the mythos which is good...but what bs it is for AA. He was a great actor and I really liked him and him coming to the show thinking he's playing some iconic character only to end up dying as someone else... I really grew attached to this Jimmy Olsen...it's like if they said ED wasn't the real Iconic Lois Lane...what a load of crap. At least he went out a hero.:\ Stupid Smallville.

[Mrs. Superman]

Yeah, that's the thing. I invested my feelings for this Jimmy ever since he was introduced in the show. I feel totally cheated. No matter what.
Ditto. This sucks to no end.

[Krypto~Luan]

Jimmy was annoying, but i was kinda sad he died. I never clicked with this Jimmy, and i mostly felt bad for chloe. Poor girl. But im glad he died in her arms rather then in a back alley because of a drug overdose. LEts not blame chloe either, it was Davis the crazy man, whom i did like till he was all possessive.

[darkphoenix21]

Real Jimmy is still alive and has another 10yrs before he becomes the iconic Jimmy Olsen.

R.I.P. Henry James Olsen

[ren135]

I though this was a huge middle finger to fans of AA's "Jimmy" Olsen. It'll be interesting if this sticks.

Now just imagine, to twist the knife a bit, sometime in the future...
"Shawn Ashmore to play the REAL Jimmy Olsen!!" lol

[prodigykane]

R.I.P. Henry

[Krypto~Luan]

This Jimmy annoyed me. But i felt sad when he died. IT was in that instant i liked him. But hey, whatever will be will be.

[darkphoenix21]

To think the Jimmy death was the twist of the two deaths. The real Jimmy is Henry's little brother. It was a slap to the face that the Jimmy we knew was a fake.

[Dominicus]

I actually did joke weeks ago that AA's Jimmy would die and he will be replaced by a younger kid who is the right age for the iconic Jimmy. I didn't think they'd actually do it though.Funny I did the same thing, it was a joke because it was a ridiculous thought!:lol::rotfl:

[vindelin]

I thought the twist was kind of stupid. Why would Henry Olsen go by the nick name Jimmy if his younger brother is named James?

[Rizarro]

R.I.P. Jimmy Olsen. I'll miss you like you have NO idea Jimmy, and I'll miss you too Aaron Ashmore. I'll miss you two SOOO much. :(:(:(

On the bright side, Tess and Chloe survived. :):\ I'm really happy the made it. And even though Davis did die, Sam will most likely come back as Zod, so, it's not a real loss. The only one we really lost was Aaron. :( *crying* :(

[SGuthrie27]

It would be an extreme and extremely lame retcon to have Jimmy's little brother end up being the real Jimmy Olsen after all that's happened. I LOVE the way they portrayed Smallville's version of Jimmy Olsen, and he had so much growth and character development this season, too. It seems such a waste that they took him off the show the way they did, doesn't it? Grrr... I still harbor hope that he could come back, though. Remember they said there would be two deaths? And one death would be metaphorical, right? Isn't that "the death of Clark Kent?" And the real death is Serial Killer-Davis? Which means, by extension, that perhaps Jimmy could technically come back later? I'm wondering if Lois' actions in whatever time she's in could end up changing things and allowing him to return, but I suppose that's rather wishful thinking.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Violet-Shadow]

I am angry. Beyond angry. This was a complete lightswitch. Why would they include Aaron Ashmore with other Jimmy Olsen's on a dvd only to reveal that he's not the real Jimmy Olsen? Unless he comes back, I think I'm officially done with this show. This was the first season I gave SV a real chance. But this is too much. I could even handle the P/R arc but this? Not acceptable.

[Krypto~Luan]

I thought the twist was kind of stupid. Why would Henry Olsen go by the nick name Jimmy if his younger brother is named James?

I assume he really loved his brother.o_0

Or maybe it was some sort of nick name. I hope they adress this i the future.

[IHeartClois]

Im sad about Jimmy dying but I knew he had it coming when he found out Clark's secret, I was like...omg now they'll probably kill him off! They should have killed Tess instead, she has no emotional value on the show so I wouldnt have cared, but I guess they had to kill someone with emotional value

[borednow]

I haven't stopped crying... and his last scene was Chimmy too... how dare they pull this crap, what a cop out retcon. That was Jimmy! He was... :( ... It's not fair... Davis... I'll hate you forever!

[brando_2185]

I respect the writers for respecting the mythos, but fake "Jimmy" dying and the supposed real "Jimmy" appearing was just plain awkward.

I wonder how all this is going to play out in season 9? Honestly, since Lois got the Legion flight ring...I'm smelling a "go back in time and save Jimmy" mode for season 9.

Not sure though until the writers confirm it.

[Ilovebeinglost]

I'm so angry about that right now. What a crappy ending for Jimmy and now Jimmy 2 with take his name I assume.

[Dr. Blade]

That was one twist too far. They screwed up the mythos once again. They made Aaron Ashmore Jimmy, and then just decided to ice him for a big finale. That whole kid brother thing was just right out of left field; and it doesn't even have the setup for real potential. It stuck out of context like a sore thumb. But what with Lois missing and Clark going off on his crazy kick, I guess it doesn't even matter that much anyway. Here we go, season 9. Thanks for that awesome sendoff. :rolleyes:

[kitty1]

I wasn't surprise because I said a long time ago that this wasn't the iconic Jimmy. Jimmy in the comics and movies is a lot younger than Clark. Also Jimmy wasn't married in the comics and movies. So I had a feeling the writers were going to put a twist to it. The only part I got wrong is that I thought Chloe would have a son and that would be the real Jimmy. I just didn't think Jimmy/Henry had a younger brother but I did figure out the death.

[Krypto~Luan]

Jimmy was annoying, i still stand by that, his death was sad though.

[Meteror Freak]

I really really really really really really really really hope they bring back Aaron Ashmore!!!! Even if they bring him back not as the legit Jimm Olsen. It's not fair!

[Runestone]

I uh, kind of got out of the fandom for awhile (not completely, but enough that I haven't been on this site or looking up spoilers or anything), so I didn't even know a character was dying. Let alone Jimmy Olsen, because he's CANONICAL. Yeah, I know his little brother is the real Jimmy Olsen, but I kind of feel like this was a half-baked, jumping the shark, cop-out idea. I didn't expect this at all.

That being said, I was never really a fan of his character, which is why it was weird that I found myself tearing up at his funeral. He was a good guy despite his annoying traits. I'm actually going to miss him...

I may not have been his fan. But, i will without a doubt miss his interactions with Lois. Those were hilarious.

[chlavisbug]

the only thing that makes sense now is that the real jimmy is meant 2 be a lot younger

but jimmy was a funny character and lightened the mood- he will be missed

[jpfort1957]

Jimmy wasn't my favorite character.....but now that he's gone, I find myself looking back at what a Sh@t life he had to deal with most of this season. He started out being a pleasent little guy who liked everybody. He found a girl to love, and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her...........and things went south for Jimmy all the way to the end. Davis keeped trying to put the make on his girl non-stop. His wedding became a nightmare and he ends up in a coma. Chloe becomes Chloiac. Nobody wants to visit him in the hospital. Everybody makes like he's going nuts. See Chloe with Davis. See's Davis as the murderer he was. Chloe uses some kind of tazer on him. Gets hooked on drugs. Gets a divorice. Steals from the mob for drugs. Almost gets killed by the mob. Davis beats him up and comes within an inch of making him the next murder victim. Cleansup his life. Gets a good job working for Ollis. Saves Clark and realizes he saved the RBB. Gets extremely proud of himself. Take Chloe and Davis away to a safe spot. (at Clarks request) Chloe convices poor Jimmy things turned out they way the did because she was trying to save Clark. (and he's falling for it) Then gets stabbed in the back by the murderer he tried to save. Jimmy buddy....You'll be remembered as one of my favorites from Smallville!!!!!!!:):):):):)

[Kschreck]

Yeah, I feel sorry for his on screen character and I feel just as sorry for Aaron Ashmore as an actor as well. He played the best Jimmy in any Superman show/movie in my opinion and he got the shaft. Apparently he is now a fake Jimmy that goes by a changed name.

Sometimes I wonder if Smallville is being written for people with alzheimer's disease.

I totally agree with you there. After playing the best Jimmy.........now they're not going to let him be THE JIMMY. I hate that!!!!!!!

[Kschreck]

Jimmy?... who is Jimmy? I only remember Henry Olson... ;)

[Krypto~Luan]

I think the switcharoo at the end was cute at first, then it was really weird.

[Kschreck]

the only thing that makes sense now is that the real jimmy is meant 2 be a lot younger

but jimmy was a funny character and lightened the mood- he will be missed


And now as if season eight wasn't as dark and gloomy enough, apparently season nine will be even MORE dark. :rolleyes:

[smallvillerocks45]

As sad as it is, yes. I do buy it.
I liked Aaron Ashmore very much, but look at it this way, Jimmy (he'll always be Jimmy) helped Clark become the man he will become. He died an honorable death, and although it would be nice if he came back, I'll understand if he doesn't. It's just part of the story - and as tragic as it is, sometimes death and the loss of people heroes care about do make them stronger and more heroic in the long run.

[amalie]

It was a cop out and a retcon that will unfortunately stick.

[FLyxNERD]

I thought the twist was kind of stupid. Why would Henry Olsen go by the nick name Jimmy if his younger brother is named James?

well his full name was Henry James Olsen...i guess there dad named the younger brother James using henrys middle name...



but i kinda like how they went with this twist,now we have the real iconic jimmy....i enjoyed AA playing as Jimmy/Henry but to me his character became a filler character and he was too old to be playing Jimmy,the iconic jimmy is alot younger than lois and clark...

i think what happened to AA is the same thing that happened to Sam Jones/Pete Ross

[ginnyfan]

Other. It was a total cop out retcon, but it doesn't matter what I think. The writers drive this show not me. So... I guess Henry James Olsen is the guy I've been watching all this time. It's sort of like Brainiac's plan during season five. I knew the writers didn't know what it was. James Marsters didn't know what it was. But what can you do but play along or stop watching? It's the nature of the medium IMO.

[Mrs. Superman]

And now as if season eight wasn't as dark and gloomy enough, apparently season nine will be even MORE dark. :rolleyes:
YEP! And we thought the worst was behind us midseason...nope, it just got that much worse.

[Ray Man]

WTF?! Arron wasn't the REAL Jimmy Olsen?! Ok well since Clark didn't become Superman this Season like I was hoping to I can buy that, (but not James' death though)! And btw, this is 2009, not the 50's or 60's! If I were "Henrys" little bro, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a bow tie! I mean, aren't bow ties a thing of the past now? And do the PTB really believe that young Jimmy Olsen would wanna take photos of stuff like his brother did?

[ginnyfan]

*raises glass*

Yay Henry James! I love you! I'm an Aaron Ashmore fan now. You brightened up the last 3 seasons of Smallville for me. I wish there'd been more interaction between you and Clark because you two had great chemistry in this episode and in "Identity" but such is life.

*gulp*

[xrayvision]

This was a bunch of BS. Jimmy said his father was an alcoholic in Committed & said nothing about a brother. I doubt he would have left his brother with an alcoholic father and not have took him with him to Metropolis. His father didn't even look like an alcoholic. An alcoholic wouldn't show up at his estranged son's funeral.

This was total garbage and a betrayal to the viewers.

[number8]

Sad to see Aaron Ashmore go. Even though he wasn't the "real" Jimmy, it was nice having him on the show!

[endsxtonight]

You know what, Smallville? We ain't goin' out like that, nope, not a chance in hell. Tonight, you just killed off the REAL ICONIC Jimmy Olsen, as far as I'm concerned. And, he will be GREATLY missed by MANY of his fans. You also did a BIG DISERVICE to his fans, lied to them for three years (if, this retcon is even true and he AA's Jimmy was never supposed to be the "real" Jimmy Olsen), and you were quite disrespectful to Aaron Ashmore as well.

So, I bid my farewell to the REAL Jimmy Olsen, because he died tonight a hero. He was the REAL ICONIC Jimmy Olsen through and through, and I will accept NO OTHER theories, thoughts, or possibilities explained to me. He is and will forever remain MY Jimmy Olsen of Smallville.

- S is out!

[Selina]

Absoulte craptrap.

I'll never buy it, not in a million years.

Jimmy was bought and sold as the Jimmy Olson of the show for three years. He was developed that way. Some viewers who never heard of Jimmy grew an appreciation for him while mythos fans could connect. The "CK", happy go lucky, goofball who couldn't hurt a fly, photographer and future best friend of Clark Kent. This was our Jimmy Olsan.

To kill a developed character, only to replace him with his brother so it doesn't screw up the mythos is deplorable imo.

I wouldn't have been disapointed if they wrote him out but at least I'd know he was out there, the Jimmy Olson WE KNOW. However what they did was downright awful. Hang your heads in shame!

[duskwillow]

No.
That was beyond insulting. To both Aaron and fans, who got treated like idiots.

[anewbie]

okay.. I know I am not the only one who wants AA back as Jimmy Olsen. He can pass as someone 10 years younger than Tom and Erica right? (lois and clark).. or its just me?...Do you think they can bring him back maybe the end of season 9 if its the last season and still play Jimmy Olsen?.... ofcourse they have to skipped a lot of years so that Henry's brother now is all grown up as Jimmy... just wishful thinking here...I am confusing myself..

[Jimmy Olsen]

I will miss him so much :( ... he was my favorite Character in Smallville. I'm pissed and so sad ...

I think I don't watch the show anymore.

[Isabel14]

OMG!! How could they ever kill JIMMY OLSEN???? What the?? I'm so pissed off..I'm very, very VERY DISSAPOINTED..

[Sports72Xtrm]

As sad as it is, yes. I do buy it.
I liked Aaron Ashmore very much, but look at it this way, Jimmy (he'll always be Jimmy) helped Clark become the man he will become.

As much as I hate to admit it, I agree. That kid with a bow tie looked more the part than AA. Although I've grown quite fond of AAJimmy.:\ How they replaced him was kind of lame though as this kid will now take on the name of Jimmy somehow? That seems a little lame. But yeah.:(ITA

[roccanater]

Most of his entire time on Smallville was all heartbreak. I feel bad for the guy.

[ooglebug]

This is like chlois but for Jimmy...epic fail!

thats what i said!!!


R.I.P. Jimmy Olsen. I'll miss you like you have NO idea Jimmy, and I'll miss you too Aaron Ashmore. I'll miss you two SOOO much. :(:(:(

On the bright side, Tess and Chloe survived. :):\ I'm really happy the made it. And even though Davis did die, Sam will most likely come back as Zod, so, it's not a real loss. The only one we really lost was Aaron. :( *crying* :(

im really glad we kept tess; i think shes awsome.

those 10 interviews Cassidy Freeman gave paid off lol :lol:

but RIP Jimmy - he was my 2nd favourite character, so cute, so funny :(
sad times ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSjpSmwHfdE
(ignore the chlark title lol JIMMMYYY)

o and i just realised - Cassidy was really sneaky when she kept going on about never having a scene with AA and how she hoped to have one next season!!

and another JIMMY scene

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33rW-d_gcZE

[RaniaLovesClois]

Υeah, we love you Jimmy... We' re gonna miss you:(

[LoveHurts38]

I am still pist!!!

[dijonaise]

yes - jimmy's dead, and yes - his younger brother is set to eventually fill his shoes.
why the HELL didn't chloe use her power of healing??? did we just forget about it????????????????

[LoveHurts38]

yes - jimmy's dead, and yes - his younger brother is set to eventually fill his shoes.

She does not have her powers anymore.

[Sports72Xtrm]

To henry! Known to his friends as jimmy! He was a hero, an intrepid reporter, good friend, loving husband, rolemodel to his little brother. Rip

Ring that bell.:\

[chloisfan]

Is Jimmy's younger brother named Jimmy as well?

[mr lane]

the show gives me 3 years of AA playing a jimmy olsen

who

1. is named James Olsen (so we thought)

2. was a great wholesome guy (at first)

3. wore bow ties

4. called clark CK

5. pimped clois

6. had red hair (at first)

and in a few short eps you turn this great guy into something completely different just to tell me he is not the real Jimmy Olsen?!?!?!

and you expect me to believe his "brother" is the real James Olsen and is just going to happen to have the same characteristics as his older brother later on in life?

well smallville you can take that and stuff it because im not believing that for one second

[Chlarky]

I think I'mj going to be angry about this for a long time

[Isabel14]

I don't think this anger will vanish too soon..I will always blame PS(3) for this...

[alma]

I don't think the death will stick. If it does, I will be pissed. I don't want that little boy as Jimmy. I want THE real Jimmy Olsen!
Me too. To me Aaron Ashmore is the real Jimmy. Hope it doesn't stick.

[Kal-alien]

that's retarded clark was supposed to die by doomsday

Actually in the comic books, When doomsday kills Superman, he comes out from being dormant and buried under the ground. It helps line it up with how it should be.

[costas22]

Total lightswitch. Thanks to Aaron for everything he did for the show. I hope his career flourishes from now on.

[mr lane]

Exactly... Bring our Jimmy back...:(

next thing you know Lois will come back as not lois anymore and chloe will take her place to pay tribute to her cousin :rolleyes:

[Iluvgreen]

I love you Jimmy! Even if it turns out that he isn't the real one, he still set the example for him brother. I will miss him. I'm crying......... sorry............. Goodbye Jimmy. R.I.P.

[AntMagister]

This episode had to be called INJUSTICE, not the previous!!!
I think this, and many other events in the episode, have made fans very angry!

[mariagabriela]

next thing you know Lois will come back as not lois anymore and chloe will take her place to pay tribute to her cousin :rolleyes:

This really scares me. If they can do this with JIMMY OLSEN then what can they do with everyone else? What's off limits for them? Is anything?

[mr lane]

This really scares me. If they can do this with JIMMY OLSEN then what can they do with everyone else? What's off limits for them? Is anything?

lois isnt lois shell be eloise or something cracked out like that

or shell be joanne lois lane and has just been using her middle name all along

lucy will come back and become lois :lol:

[SVfan87]

i refuse to accept that our Jimmy is not the real Jimmy. no way! they couldn't have had him on the show for 3 years with the plan to turn it around on us like this. this was done just for the shock factor. and about the whole age thing: who cares? is that really so important? smallville has taken huge liberties with the superman mythos over the years. they've changed a lot. and big things at that. clark and lex best friends, lois meeting clark in high school, doomsday having a "human" side. and i'm supposed to believe that this little tiny detail about jimmy's age was unacceptable and they felt absolutely compelled to align it with the comics? gimme a break. i really hope it's not permanent but i won't get my hopes up.

i loved all the jimmy scenes in this episode. things were finally looking up for him. his non-drugged-out personality was back, he learned clark's secret, and he and chloe looked like they were getting back together. things were GOOD! WHY OH WHY DID THEY KILL HIM? lol, sorry guys. this is just the one thing about the episode that i'm really upset about. aaron ashmore was jimmy olsen. and a darn good one.

[SnowBird]

I'm sorry and sad to see our SV Jimmy leave. I will miss AA. The future is set straight about Jimmy and I have a feeling this won't be the only thing changed in Smallville to line up with Superman before the series ends.

[Kevin24]

I will miss you Jimmy :( :'(

[Davis Bloome]

Total cop-out. AA should have been the real Jimmy. His character will be missed, cause I don't like the character cause he's annoying, but that is what Jimmy is suppose to be in the end. A fifth wheel sorta speak. I think there was a better way to please both Chimmy and Chlavis, but they just made the wrong decisions with this episode.

[Mrs. Superman]

Just wanted to send Aaron a big THANK YOU for being so awesome and making Jimmy one of my faves on Smallville. It wont be the same without you. :( You were Jimmy Olsen.

Man I am going to miss him. I love Jimmy!


Why do you have to suck so much, PS, WHYYYYY????

[AlexOphelie]

Aaron Ashmore was a great Jimmy Olsen! And I liked the way the character has been developed. How comes Chloe didn't save him with her power? Anyway, this is too unfair! And I didn't like the scene between Clark&Chloe, just always the same, nothing has evolved! His death has been pointless!? ("(;_;)") Maybe/Hopefully, Lois will be back from the future to save him in the opening of the next season?! I thought Chloe would be the character sacrified in this season finale! booooh ;-)

[wafflles87]

~raises glass~

To Jimmy.

And may Aaron find his way to a better show where his talent can be properly used.

As for the death... cop out, lightswitch, rip off, cheat, retcon, piece of crap.

[Vindellavon]

Iconic Jimmy Olsen, to me, is dead on this show. If they really want to lightswitch, then it'll just be another lame cop-out added to the list of Smallville's Historically Retarded Moments. For God'd sake, it's OK to delineate from mythos, just admit it's Elsewhere, idiots. So now, the big three is dead, and heck, Jimmy wasn't even part of the big three from the beginning. It was Lex/Clark/Lana, then Chloe/Clark/Lana, and now, Clark/Chloe/Tess. Jimmy and Lois never made it to the 'big three' in this soap opera flick.

As for Aaron, he did his best with the given script, and I ode him for it. As for Jimmy, he didn't deserve the ending he got, but we all knew it was coming. *raises glass* Good bye, Jimbo.

[ZODisGOD]

That "Jimmy on Jimmy" featurette on the season 7 dvd is false.

[moviefan2k4]

Here's something I don't understand: why on Earth do so many fans think Lois died?!

She wasn't killed in any way or form; the Legion ring teleported her to the 31st century, and she'll probably be back by the 2nd or 3rd episode of Season 9.

Also, why are so many fans doing nothing but complaining? The finale had lots of great moments. Sure, it didn't line up with every little facet of the mythos...so what?! The series never claimed to be adhering 100% to any pre-existent version of the story, so relax...and try to enjoy it for what it is.

[Jaderoyale]

The iconic Jimmy Olsen was Aaron Ashmore.
At first, when he appeared in Zod i was skeptical. But over 2 seasons i have watched Aaron make Jimmy HIS own and this season, for the first half before everything went down hill, especially Identity, HE WAS THE ICONIC JIMMY OLSEN.
The first thing he did when he met Clark, was call him CK. He wore bow ties every now and again. Heck, he pimped out Clois to infinity.

Its hard for an actor to come onto a show and begin to establish such an iconic character in their own way, yet trying to please us, the fans. And Aaron did it beautifully.
I'm disgusted that PS3 had killed him off and given us the explanation that he wasn't Jimmy Olsen.
Yes i know Jimmy is alot younger than Lois and Clark. But why let us warm to a character and the actor, only to pull it from underneath our feet. Its a real slap in the face.

[6-Super-Man -5]

R.I.P

Henry, you served us well...
Sad, now, we won't see the Big 3... (Clark, Jimmy, Lois)

[LJ-90]

Here's something I don't understand: why on Earth do so many fans think Lois died?!

The series never claimed to be adhering 100% to any pre-existent version of the story, so relax...and try to enjoy it for what it is.

Then why to they use the "adhering tot he mythos" excuse to kill Jimmy?

Like people before me said "Admit it's a Elseworld you idiots" (That going to PS, not you btw)

Now, I say goodbye to Aaron, I hope he gets a lot of luck (in job and girls) in his life, and will get a job that will respect him, and not lie to him like PS did.

Goodbye Jimbo, to me you are the iconic Jimmy Olsen.

P.S: How did Clark and Lois will be able to call the new Jimmy "Jimmy Olsen" without sounding disrespectful to the memory of "Henry"?

[wildenchantress_kt]

I like the fact that AA is Henry. My vote might be swayed because the young Jimmy was so cute. It never did really make sense that Jimmy was the same age as the rest of the cast.

When he was first mentioned in unsafe by Chloe I wondered how on earth Chloe could of hooked up with him considering he was meant to be young than Lois and Clark.

When Jimmy found out that Clark was the Red Blue Blur it was a give away that something bad was going to happen to Jimmy.

You will be missed Henry James Olsen.

[kkjdt]

I really thought Arron did a good job acting and I thought it woud be nice to write and thank him for all the hard work he did and let him know!

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yeah, I would like to thank him for everything he did, it's a shame he isn't here to the end, but Aaron has skills, he has a bright future, and I wish him luck on his journey from here on out.

[disciples of zod]

ditto! :)

Goodbye Aaron!!

[Mickey_Bickey]

Aaron, if you're reading this, you have been one of my favorite characters on this show and a great portrayal of Jimmy Olsen! Loved the enthusiasm you put into him, and I especially loved your interaction with Clark and Lois! Your "CK" saying always made me smile and made me love whatever scene you were in!:D

Good luck, and I hope to see you soon on either the big or small screen!! You're a true gem, and I will miss you on this show!!!!!!!:\

-Michele:)

[batfinx]

Hang in there, Aaron. You are Smallville's Jimmy Olsen and I'll accept no substitutes.

Hang in there, Aaron. You are Smallville's Jimmy Olsen and I'll accept no substitutes.

You are right now.

[KneelBeforeZod!]

Dear Jimmy,


Goodbye.

Dear Jimmy/Aaron - you are/were (sob) absolutely hilarious and adorable and really deserved a happy life :D
you are a hero!!! love you :)

[Canary]

Awsome Job :D ! ^^ LOL ditto xD

[thehenry89]

Dear Aarron Ashmore,

You did a really good job portraying what I and many others belived to be the real Jimmy Olsen. It is unfortunate that you had to be phased out in this outlandish and ludicris fashion but rest assured your work was not in vain. For 3 years you brought a sense of comedy and lightness to an otherwise dark show. Your scenes with Erica Durance have never failed to bring a smile to my face, and your chemistry with Allison Mack was out of this world. I am sad to see you go and upset that you've been reduced to a place holder for a charachter as iconic as perry white and even superman himself, but unfoutunatley the politics of writers producers and other people in high places often makes litttle sense.
I can't express how much graditude this superman fan has for your contribution to Smallville, and for me you will always be the REAL Jimmy Olsen.

Sincerly,
Thehenry89 AKA Britt

amen to that!
i really really want Aaron Ashmore to read that because if i was him, having just been killed off, id definitely want to know people appreciated my work and didnt want me to leave.

[disciples of zod]

Dear AA,

You were awesome! Plain and simple. You portrayed what no one expected, even far beyond the expectations. You brought a sense of humor and silliness to the show, which made it that much more enjoyable. Thanks for everything you did! Hope the job market is friendly to you.

xoxo, ~H

P.S. Twins rock! :D

That made me laugh!! It's too bad that you didn't get to officially keep the Jimmy role cause I loved your portrayal! I have always felt that casting was one of SV strengths.

This year you really stepped it up, and I wish you much success in the future, and perhaps we'll find out it was all a dream or a nightmare instead. :rolleyes:

[LJ-90]

Aaron Ashmore:

Once you told us that you and your twin have very different energies, and that we would see that in "Zod". And you were right, you are a good actor on your own right, and I wish you the best, I'm sure you'll go to high places and I want to let you know that all the time you invested playing Jimmy Olsen has been aprecciated.

To me you ARE Jimmy Olsen, I will not accept substitutes. I also believe that the way you were written out of the show to be disrespectful to you and your fans. Your characther wasn't hated by all of the fan base, rest assured that there are fans of your work out there that hope to see you in the big or small screen some time soon.

I feel bad that you put so much energy in this characther and that your hard work is rewarded like this, but you ARE Jimmy Olsen in my book.

Good luck Aaron, I wish you the best.

[LoveHurts38]

Dear AA,
You did a great job as James Olson you will always be Jimmy or Jimbo to Lois. Good Luck in other projects which you will get.

[wafflles87]

Aaron... I can't even begin to thank you for the wonderful job you did interpreting Jimmy Olsen on Smallville. You made me care about the character. And don't let haters tell you differently my friend. You WERE Jimmy Olsen. For me, you were THE Jimmy Olsen. I don't care what the producers say, I don't give a flying F what DC says.

I'm sorry it ended like this for you, and I wish you luck in all of your future projects.

[xrayvision]

Aaron,

Thank you for all your work and time spent portraying Jimmy Olsen on Smallville, one of the most beloved iconic characters in pop culture. You delivered the character with great conviction and in the 3 years you were on this show, you became one of my favorites. Your presence on this show will sorely be missed. The best scenes this season involved your character, Clark, and Lois. You're an irreplaceable asset on this show and I wish you the best and have no doubt you will find another role. I would certainly nominate you to play the Jimmy Olsen of the next Superman movie had one been scheduled to be in the works. Thanks again.

Thanks for 3 years of Smallville. I'm sorry to see you leave the show. I hope you move on to better projects.

Goodbye Aaron, wish you the best :)

Aaron,

Thanks for the awesome portrayal of Jimmy Olsen. I really enjoyed your portrayal of the character. Your sense of comedy and chemistry with Ms. Alison Mack was amazing. Your smile will remain ever green in the minds of Smallville fans. I am really sorry to see you leave the show. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

Thanks and Good Luck !

Sam.

Aaron,

I want you to know that in my opinion, and the opinion of the many Jimmy fans here, you are Smallville's true Jimmy Olsen. You did such an amazing job embodying the Iconic Jimmy Olsen, and have made Jimmy one of my favorite characters on this show. Its not fair what PS did to you, and for that I have lost all respect for them. They tarnished this show and spit on the faces of your fans (and all fans who demand good writing) by retconning your character like that.

You are an amazing actor and it really is Smallville's loss that you will no longer be on the series next year. When your character died, the Smallville fan in me died as well. I wish you the best in all you do! Your Jimmy Olsen will be greatly missed by many, especially me. :(

Best wishes and thanks,
Your heartbroken fan

Sasha

Dear Aarron Ashmore,

You did a really good job portraying what I and many others belived to be the real Jimmy Olsen. It is unfortunate that you had to be phased out in this outlandish and ludicris fashion but rest assured your work was not in vain. For 3 years you brought a sense of comedy and lightness to an otherwise dark show. Your scenes with Erica Durance have never failed to bring a smile to my face, and your chemistry with Allison Mack was out of this world. I am sad to see you go and upset that you've been reduced to a place holder for a charachter as iconic as perry white and even superman himself, but unfoutunatley the politics of writers producers and other people in high places often makes litttle sense.
I can't express how much graditude this superman fan has for your contribution to Smallville, and for me you will always be the REAL Jimmy Olsen.

Sincerly,
Thehenry89 AKA Britt

Coudln't have said it better myself.

There are no adequate words to express my appreciation for Aaron's portrayal of the iconic, canon Jimmy Olsen! And yes, the REAL Jimmy Olsen!
He deserves better than this show...and he'll get it! Of this I have no doubts!;)

Here's to Aaron, Jimmy Olsen, and Superman mythos!

Bye Jimmy, don't call us, we'll call you *waves*

He sure deserves better than that. :\

Wonder twin powers: activate! Aaron, job well done and good luck. Talent speaks for itself. Sorry, Shawn, Marvel and Iceman are great and all, but older brother Aaron just snowed you under the DC iconic Jimmy.

I loved Jimmy just as much as Chloe. Even when they were fighting, even addicted to pain pills. AA Jimmy was a quintessential James Olson. At times, controversial (Chimmy haters, sigh), but always lovable. There were not enough Clark/Lois/Jimmy moments, but what exists is golden. I don't mind the twist, but I will definitely miss and mourn James the elder. The bar has been set very high indeed.

To answer the question: Yes he was 100% Jimmy Olson. The writers have decreed that he wasn't the Jimmy we thought he was, but there is no getting around it: that he was, is, and always shall be James Olson, Daily Planet photographer, friend to Lois and Clark.

[alejandrita439]

i will miss you so much Aaron, you are the REAL jimmy olsen for me :)

cant belive what the stupid writers did :mad:

[skully]

Well played, Aaron. We will miss you.

[Serynarpc]

I will admit I cried like a little girl when Jimmy reconciled with Chloe, when he was wounded and when he saved Chloe. You fought the good fight right to the end, Jimmy. Even bad ass vigilantes weep for you.

[ghaith]

Henry James Olsen, R.I.P.
We'll miss you Aaron, thank you!
i had the believes he wasn't the real jimmy, being old and having the plot they gave him with drugs and so, but i still think he made a good jimmy, and could have been the real one given other circumstances.

[SupaBoy]

I beleived he was Jimmy:( I mean the producers would not have called him jimmy in season 3/4 they would have called him henry or whatever and have his brother as being jimmy.

This is what I have been trying to say. His death was tragic and I didn't see it coming, but I don't mind the twist either, I accept it because he was Jimmy Olsen. Maybe not the "iconic" version, but he was Jimmy Olsen, and he left a lasting impact on Clark and Lois for sure. Aaron Ashmore did an amazing job playing him, and while I always liked Iceman, you're right, Ashmore's Jimmy was so much better. He will be missed.

He is Jimmy, don't think any different if you don't want to.

[A_Chloe.S._Fan]

Goodbye, Aaron. We here at K-Site are going to miss you. =(

Anyway, I'm not sure whether AA was the iconic Jimmy Olsen or not. At times, he was a lot like the dorky photographer from the comics, but he could also be very different.

[amberdawn]

Clark is also very different from Iconic Clark.

[The Dark Knight74]

I want to start by saying that before I started watching Smallville, I never like the character Jimmy Olsen. I always thought he was too Beaver Cleaver-ish. The came s6 and the introduction of Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen. After seeing AA's portrayal of JO, I grew to like JO. At least, the Smallville version. I want to thank AA for 3 years of playing what will always be my favorite JO. Good luck in the future.

[haydenclaireheroes]

jimmy was a great charecter and never will be forgotton.

[superman_reboot]

Great job Aaron, you played an excellent Jimmy. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you aren't the real Jimmy. Watching you over the years has been a pleasure. Good luck in your future endeavors, I'm sure all us fans and the show will miss you. Cheers to Jimmy.

[Sarrkazztic]

Aaron....in my book you were the best Jimmy Olsen ever

[disciples of zod]

Aaron Ashmore:
