oops
hey can someone recap the smallville finale for me in 2-3 sentences? i think imma watch this sucker next week
The major plot threads/cliffhangers that I remember offhand:
- Clark was sucked in through that hole in the cave wall to save his father, who Jor-El was trying to hurt/kill. The only way that Jor-El would stop is if Clark came with him (which was the bargain that Jonathan made to get the powers in the season opener). The last we saw of Clark was him lying in a black void, with just a spotlight in the shape of the superman insignia on him, with Jor-El saying something like "now it is time to fufill your destiny" or something similar.
- Lionel is now in prison for the murder of his parents. Chloe went to Lex and offered to testify, believing that he'd be able to protect her from Lionel. The last we saw of the three of them was during a pretty neat montage. While Lionel was getting his head shaved in prison (maybe signifying that he's going to become what we all though Lex would be this whole time?), we see Chloe entering a random house accompanied by some sort of federal agent, she's presumably in the witness protection program. We also see Lex at his mansion taking a drink. Right after Chloe and the agent enter the house and close the door, the whole building explodes, and then we see Lex falling into a glass table while clutching his throat, leading us to believe that his drink was poisoned, again.
- I don't remember 100%, but I think Lana ended up going to Europe after all.
I'll probably give it another chance this season to see if they don't stick with the same garbage, but without having Angel on after it, any crappy episodes are going to seem that much worse. Last season, I was able to stomach some of the crap simply because I knew that Angel would be more entertaining, but without that...
