(S07E16) Smallville returns from its hiatus with a death that was extremely predictable (particularly given the spoilers available throughout the Internet). I'm trying not to spoil it for anybody who hasn't watched yet so I'm saving the reveal until after the jump. It's surprising that they didn't even wait for the opening credits for
that particular reveal.
At this juncture, I think it's safe to say that the character permanently died. No alternate timelines. No Kryptonite-fueled resurrections. No clones. No imaginary stories. Mind you, in the
Smallville universe, it wouldn't surprise me if this or any death was only temporary (such as with
Buffy before it).

(S07E15) This episode could have easily been the season finale of Smallville. It had characters change, characters vanish and a very sad cliffhanger ending. I wonder if it was the last one written before the writer's strike started?
It opened with a quiet day on the Kent farm. Then Brainiac (played by James Marsters) showed up and things got violent. In a rare instance, Clark showed up on time in the beginning to save the day, rather than the end of the program. On another note, that farm gets trashed a LOT.

It looks like Kristen Kreuk will only be back
for a couple of episodes of Smallville for season eight. She has apparently said something to that effect on her
Facebook profile. Between that and the rumors of Michael Rosenbaum not returning, I think season eight will likely be the final season of the show.
This means the only regulars from the first season who will be there in the eighth are Clark and Chloe. On a positive note, the whine factor of the show will definitely decline. It could also mean that the inevitable Lois/Clark romance could start up.
I do wonder where they can go with the show without Lana and Lex. It's not really
Smallville anymore, is it? A more appropriate name would be
Metropolis. They might be saving that for the spin-off, about a group of six twenty-something superheroes sharing two apartments across the hall from each other.

(S06E03) It seems everyone's back to calling Jimmy Olson
Jimmy again, though he tried to insist on
James in the season premiere.
Chloe tells Jimmy that she wants to take any possible relationship between the two of them slowly. Fortunately for Jimmy taking it slow quickly turns out to include french kissing. Happiness is short lived, however, when a scream leads the cub reporters to a dead body that looks likes it fell into a tree after having been dropped directly out of a J-horror movie.
Despite a hoary costume-party conceit, and yet another mock crucifixion, when Kal-El gets himself vined-up in the woods, this episode was an improvement on "Sneeze" last week.
