Extra Blog Entry 2
So I've been sick with an annoying cold and that's why I didn't get the chance to post my entry on this as soon as I would've hoped, but here it is now. At least I sort of made it.
On Thursday of last week was the fabulous SEASON PREMIERE of SMALLVILLE. I was extremely impressed, even though I hadn't seen much of last season. About all I knew was that ClarkKent's earthly destiny was to be changed because of the increasing influence of his biological and strangely omnipresent father, Ja-rel, only represented as a powerful voice.
A meteor shower had hit the town of Smallville in the season finale at the end of the spring of this year. Clark was fighting against the fact that his friends were all changing. His relationship with long-time crush Lana continued to affect his judgments. His friendship with Lex Luthor was slowly deteriorating as Lex began to follow the dark path that most Superman stories talk about when referencing the wealthy, power hungry Lex Luthor.
Lana found a recently arrived space ship after crashing in a helicopter that was hit by a meteor and Clark’s close friend Chloe followed Clark into the world where his father started to speak to him of how he had to save earth.
And this season, Lana encountered the aliens from the space ship that arrived, they kept asking for “Kal-el” which is the Kryptonian name of Clark Kent. But Lana didn’t know this. The aliens would’ve killed her at this point if it weren’t for the fact that a crew of police cars, helicopters and government trucks showed up at the scene of the space ship and started shooting at the aliens. However the aliens wiped out every defense machine used against them with the same powers that Clark Kent has exhibited. They set vehicles on fire by shooting lasers out of their eyes. They lifted things as heavy as a car and moved (not to be cliché) but “fast as a speeding bullet.” Lana ran and hid.
Chloe was stuck in the ice cold world where Clark Kent encountered his father. Ja-rel told Clark he needed to be educated in the ways of his people in order to save the planet. But a slowly dying Chloe, affected by severe hypothermia, called out to him and broke him out of his educating state where a beam of light with symbols and figures circled around him as if sending the powers into his body. Clark chose to save Chloe and his father warned that if he did not return by the setting of the sun, dire consequences would occur.
Clark ended up conquering the aliens by sealing them in a prison vortex and saving Lana from certain death after being crushed by some falling object and in addition she had sustained her injuries from the helicopter. He even had to lie to Lex about how he escaped injuries from the meteor shower, made sure his adopted parents were okay and confessed to Lana his love for her and shared a promise of no secrets between them. Unfortunately, Clark ended up staying beyond his time he was allotted on earth and found at the end of the episode that he was human. He bled, when before he used to immediately heal, from anything, including bullets.
I was greatly excited by the episode, but I’m wondering what’s going to happen to Clark now that he’s human. Will he fulfill the duties of the Superman that we’ve always known growing up? Will Lana die? Will he have this future with Lois Lane? I’ll be honest, I don’t like the Lois Lane they’ve created for the show. They use the name Lana Lang, so what I’m hoping they’ll do is, kill off Lois Lane and have Lana take her name and work as a reporter in Metropolis. I think Lana would’ve made a better Lois, but who knows. It’s all up in the air yet. So far so good, but still, I want a Lana and Clark marriage or something. He’s been saving her life for four seasons and finally they proclaim their love for each other. I don’t want it to be short lived.
