Smallville episode 8.11 “Legion” - trailer
Airdate: January 15, 2009
Smallville has never been as good as it is now. In its final season, the series has up the ante with formidable enemies who have compelling past, even with and especially in the absence of Lex Luthor. There is Doomsday, who lived in the human form as Davis Bloome. We can’t help but feel for him as the do-gooder paramedic struggles to contain the darkness that tries to control his being. Then there is Tess Mercer, whose loyalty to Lex Luthor is undeniable but full of mystery. Finally, Clark Kent’s most loyal friend is about to betray him. Well, not if she can help it, but Brainiac has taken over Chloe Sullivan.
But also this season, we saw Clark Kent take control of his destiny as a hero to mankind. He’s (almost) past Lana Lang and becoming comfortable friends with Lois Lane, who is slowly falling in love with CK. As Green Arrow questions his own motives for heroism, Clark takes up the mantle to lead. The saga of Kara Kent is over, but who knows maybe there will be a Supergirl spin-off.
The second half of the season will be worth watching as Smallville wraps up its run. How will this current season end? Will there be a season 9? As early as January 15, we might learn the fate of Chloe Sullivan (and later in the season, Lana Lang), and how they “disappear” from the greater Superman mythology.
The trailer of episode 8.11 “Legion”, the first episode of 2009, reveals several interesting sneaks into Clark Kent’s future role as Superman. Lana may be saying her goodbyes to Clark but she’ll take care of unfinished business. And if you think Lex Luthor is a thing of the past, think again. Before Doomsday gets to kill Superman in their future epic battle, the stage has to be set first. We will meet the future band of superheroes that Clark Kent inspired when he becomes Superman. Some of them will even be coming back to the present to lend Clark a little hand. One of them will even allude to Clark Kent’s future name.
And then there’s that blue blur in the sky…
The next episode swoops back on January 15, 2009. Will you be one of those waiting for Smallville’s return?
