Smallville's final run

[Earth 2 Chris]

Spoilers, of course!

Last night began the final run of new Smallvilles. It was a well-done episode, with John Schneider doing an excellent turn as a different Jonathan Kent. It was nice to see him get a send-off with some hope attached.

I still think they killed off Jonathan too early in the series. I know Clark was supposed to grow up and move on from the farm...but he really didn't. I guess they removed the character to put more focus on Clark/Lex/Lana and give the illusion of progressing Clark into Superman, but it somehow became more of a stumbling block than a help. Schneider kept the series grounded while he was on it. No matter how out there the plots got, he was able to set things right with a few glances and a word of wisdom or two. Long way from air-headed Bo Duke!

The previews for the finale keep giving me goosebumps. I hope they deliver on what they are obviously promising.

I missed it last night and will have to find it on-line. I think this is going to be a fun run.

From the looks of it the show will definitely be going out on a high note for sure.

[The Bat]

Great episode! They're definitely going out with a BANG!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Was almost hoping he would have grabbed Jonathan and brought him back for Martha and himself.

I thought the same thing. Who knows, maybe he would have if he wasn't jerked out of there. Of course I guess he can get back there via the Fortress...

I kind of agree on the Booster thing, but maybe Clark will learn a lesson from Booster about having some sort of public image as a hero, just not to Booster's extremes.

That was my first thought too! But Clark did tell Him to go find the Martha of that World. Maybe he thought it would be selfish to bring him back.

Man, it was like an issue of the old Joker comics come to life.

As opposed to spinning the Earth backwards just so your girlfriend doesn't die?

Plus he's not the same Jonathon. Not the same history. But with Clark setting Clark Luthor straight who knows? Maybe the Kent family can be rebuilt in that other universe?

Has anyone found this episode online? I searched and can't find it.

[The Bat]

Now maybe I missed something but I was under the impression that Jonathan & Martha were never married on that Earth? So why was she listed as Martha Kent on the mailbox? Did she leave him?

I think they were married...but Jonathan did say that Martha left him.
