Smallville - S07E19

Tonight's episode - Quest
Last week was pretty awesome, wasn't it?
It's amazing how a simple pair of glasses can send my fanboy heart all a-flutter.
Well, we're winding down Lex Luthor's story and now it is rumored that we will be winding down Chloe Sullivan's as well. TV Guide is reporting that it is starting to look like Allison Mack won't be returning to the show next year as Chloe. Reportedly it's over money issues. If this is the case it will be really too bad and another body blow to a show that has sustained way too many already with the loss of show creators and executive procuers Al Gough and Miles Millar, it's best actor in Michael osenbaum, and reducing Kristen Kreuk's Lana Lang to only a handful of episodes next season.
(Although many fans are probably happy about that last point)
Nothing is final yet and as it pointed out in the article, if you lose Chloe all you're left with is Clark & Lois and at that point the concept of the show is dead, so it's always possible that a deal will still be made. But if a deal isn't made? Well, then it might be time to either kill the show outright or announce that next season is the final season, fast forward the show a few years and have Clark graduated from college, joining the Daily Planet and preparing to become Superman. Anything else, in mind, is just going to be a muddled mess.
As for tonight, more with the Veritas organization, which, I'll be honest, hasn't been all that thrilling.
I look forward to your thoughts, ideas, theories, and live blogging.

Posted by mypistola on 05/08/08 at 08:04 PM
I'm sad to hear that Allison Mack may be leaving too... :(
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:05 PM
@Julian - Yeah, they announced last week that next season would feature Doomsday and a female villain from the comics.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:06 PM
I feel like that wound is going to scar.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:07 PM
That's a full service bank that will send an assassin after your lost treasures.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:08 PM
Double O Jimmy!!!!
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:08 PM
not unless they get lex cheesecake!
Posted by mypistola on 05/08/08 at 08:09 PM
how did he get THAT picture???
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:09 PM
With a point and shoot, too! You'd think that Jimmy would have a better camera.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:11 PM
I'm liking the ominous music...
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:11 PM
Lex is risking a serious infection. I hope he's aware of that!

Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:13 PM
Does anyone think that Lex is going to figure out that Clark is the Traveler?
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:14 PM
@Superyan - Yes, I do.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:15 PM
@Superyan - Yes, I do.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:15 PM
Hmmm... how do they end his arc though? I just can't see how the show goes on next year without Lex.
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:17 PM
and now they got religious.
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:18 PM
To Canada!
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:19 PM
Yeah, Clark, I'm pretty sure you don't need to check the GPS now that you're practically standing on the church steps.
This is turning into THE DAVINCI CODE!
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:22 PM
If Tom Hanks come out.......
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:22 PM
Edward Teague? Is he an uncle?
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:23 PM
Much like the Spider Totem, I'm not sure I'm liking this traveler storyline.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:23 PM
They should have really ended this show, this season.
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:25 PM
Oh, that's his dad! I thought he was dead.
I don't like this worshipping him though.
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:27 PM
fuck me. more clues.
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:27 PM
Bad form monk man!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:29 PM
so lex is the devil?
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:29 PM
Shit that things in a million pieces now!
You know who could fix it? SYLAR!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:30 PM
I think the infection is hitting lex
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:30 PM
X-files ref, take a drink.
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:33 PM
Hey, um... where is Kara????
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:34 PM
Whatever website Jimmy used to decode the cave painting... that's a helpful website.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:34 PM
wow too religious
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:34 PM
where's the sacrificial goat?
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:35 PM
This is fucked up!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:36 PM
Lots of.. um, fairly gruesome chest carving in a show airing in what used to be called "family hour".
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:37 PM
that was unexpected
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:43 PM
I think Lex found the entrance to the Batcave.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:44 PM
Ref to Warrior Angel
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:44 PM
Obligatory sword fight! YES!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:45 PM
Aw, man - that old dude's masterpiece!
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:47 PM
"How'd you do that?"
"I didn't."
"Okay i believe you."
"Well, I have no reason to lie to the man who just tried to stab me with a sword."
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:48 PM
Muir Island?
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:48 PM
We're going back to Smallville!!!!!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 08:49 PM
That is some very soft plaster-- er, I mean stone above his fireplace.
Posted by conor on 05/08/08 at 08:58 PM
wow
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 08:59 PM
Lex just found a giant magic 8-ball. I was waiting for the thing to say "ask again later."
Posted by cable77 on 05/08/08 at 09:00 PM
time for the Office then Lost
Posted by Julian on 05/08/08 at 09:00 PM
wow that was cool!
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 09:00 PM
Looks like Lex is going to figure it out, huh? Hmm....
I can't wait til next week! Though sadly, it is Rosenbaum's last. :(
Posted by Superyan on 05/08/08 at 09:01 PM
Awfully convenient that Lex happened to find the one piece that connected everything together.
Having a guy named Teague was a nice touch. Didn't like this episode as much as the last few so I don't have high hopes for the finale but hopefully they prove me wrong and end the season with a bang.
Posted by adrian on 05/09/08 at 12:25 AM
I wasn't crazy about this one either, but it had its moments. I'm thinking I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. Not as cool as last week, but moved the story forward for the seventh season finale.
I'm not too worried about the finale, I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a Smallville season finale. It's just hard to believe its time again. It feels like just yesterday that we saw Bizarro flying out of the dam.
Posted by Superyan on 05/09/08 at 10:43 AM
I'd like this show to just end already. I've enjoyed it up until season 5 or so. Now, the way it's being aired doesn't make sense with some plots resolved one week and not the next. Like someone else mentioned where's Kara been since coming back. I don't think they jumped the shark, but Clark punched it into orbit.

what does this have to do with Grant morrison?
