"Smallville" Season 6 Finale 5/17/07 Thursday

The season six finale of Smallville was another cliffhanger...like they normally are at the end of every season. Lana Lang got into her vehicle, started it up, and then it exploded. It APPEARS that Lana is dead. Lois Lane died while investigating longitude and latitude coordinates that led to a hydroelectric dam. Chloe showed up to find her cousin, Lois, dead from a knife wound. Chloe began to cry. A tear ran down her face and fell onto the forehead of Ms. Lane. Lois began to glow in a bright light. Soon, she had come back to life and her knife wound had healed. Lois then found Chloe propped against the wall. After Chloe's tear brought Lois back to life, it SEEMS as though bringing Lois back from the dead cost Chloe her life. As of now, Chloe is dead. The last (?) spirit released from the Phantom Zone somehow replicated Clark Kent. There are now two Clarks. The one we have grown to know and love and the recently created one inhabited by the Phantom Zone creature. Lionel Luther may be dead from being thrown by the phantom Clark. The fight that took place between our Clark and the phantom Clark caused the dam they were in to rupture. As the new, bad Clark flew away, its skin turned white and morphed from regular smooth appearance into a "Bizarro" look. The real Clark appeared to survive the fight. Lex Luthor was arrested for the murder of his wife, Lana Lang. All in a days' work on Smallville. Endings are never what they seem on this show. Chloe has died in an explosion before...based on a season finale. We discovered next season that she survived that safehouse explosion. I pray that this show lasts long enough for Clark Kent to become Superman. Its ratings are not the greatest in the world, but the CW knows that there is a VERY loyal fanbase watching each Thursday. There is also a fan out in Arizona that recently watch every show in seasons three, four and five in the course of about two months. Some days that fan would watch 8 episodes in a row. Perhaps that is not the greatest use of MY time, but Clark Kent is one of the best role models that can be found on TV today. That is not based solely on his incredible strength, his superhuman speed, his x-ray vision, his invulnerability (except for Kryptonite), and his intelligence. It is also because of moral character, and his ability to do the right thing day after day. I hope that I can afford season six when it goes on sale later this(?) year. I also look forward to seeing how the cliffhanger is resolved. The stars of Smallville are Tom Welling as Clark Kent; Annette O'Toole as Martha Kent; John Schneider as the late Jonathan Kent; Michael Rosenbaum as Alexander Luthor or Lex Luthor; Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang; Erica Durance as Lois Lane; Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan and John Glover as Lionel Luthor.
