Do not read if you don't want upcoming plot points ruined for you.The biggest news about Smallville is that last week the CW announced it will be coming back for an 8th season. So who will be back? Well, definitely, Clark, Lois, Jimmy and Kara (see left, because, really, who wants to look at Tom Welling on this site?). That leaves out Lex, Lionel, Chloe and Lana.
Kristin (Lana) Kreuk apparently has already apparently made arrangements to return for at least a few episodes, and now Michael (Lex) Rosenbaum, who had been saying he was done after Season 7, has also recently stated that he may come back occasionally. The status of Chloe and Lionel are unknown (see below). James Marsters, who returns as Braniac on March 27, has also stated he would like to return next season.
Now, how about this season? First, returning this week -- Pete Ross, who becomes his very own "freak of the week." What else happens when Brainiac comes back? Kara teaches Clark to fly! Of course, we don't know how good a teacher she is.
Then, on the April 17the episode, according to TV Guide, someone dies! Remember, a few paragraphs ago, when I said we don't know what's up for Chloe and Lionel next season? You know, the two characters who are not part of the ongoing Superman mythos? Well, chances are really good one of them will be dying on April 17th. They can't kill Lex, Lois (below, because, really, who wants to look at Aaron Ashmore on this site?), Jimmy or Supergirl. They have long comic book destinies ahead of them.
Late last year, DC Comics announced they were introducing Chloe to the "Superman" comics, but guess what happened about a month later -- they changed their minds -- no Chloe in the comics. That's not a good sign. Of course, I don't think Lionel is going to last forever either.
So, welcome back Smallville, everything's going to change real soon.
