Another celebration in the wings might be… Chloe’s wedding! Chloe will accept Jimmy’s proposal!

In other news, the producers are looking to cast several guests:

• Kat – a young eager assistant for Tess, who takes over Luthorcorp in the absence of Lex.
• Nicolai – man who works on a boat with Clark near the Arctic
• A scientist, a guard and a researcher. Now you wonder what’s going on in the Arctic to have these extras being cast.

Smallville season 8 premieres October 2, 2008.

YUP. It’s Justin Hartley as the uber-hunk millionaire Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. And he’s back for Smallville season 8… as a series regular! Which means, we will see more of him on the show. Justin Hartley has a talent holding deal with CW, which means the network is paying him to stick around since they don’t want to lose him to another network. Good for us, right? And good for Clark Kent too!

If Clark Kent has a big brother, it would be Oliver Queen (and not Lex Luthor!). Several times in the past seasons, Oliver had challenged Clark to use his powers for doing mankind good, and not just hang around Smallville waiting for lightning to strike. Oliver has seen some of Clark’s powers but he still doesn’t know Clark’s true identity. I think if he does, the hero in green tights would push for his younger bro’ to wake up and gets his arse off the Smallville farm. Who knows, the Green Arrow just might save Clark from the clutches of Lex Luthor at the Fortress. But that’s just my speculation. Who knows what the writers come up with. I’m just really happy to know there is another regular superhero on Smallville. The Justice League is back again!

Like the seasons before it, the completed seventh season traced the development of Clark Kent/Kal El’s character. One recurring theme that Clark’s friends kept telling him was that the world is bigger than Smallville, and he needs to let go of whatever holds him back. And like the seasons before it, the seventh season brought back to life some of the characters from the Superman mythology, like Kara and Bizarro. Long lost cousin Kara/Supergirl figures prominently into challenging Clark Kent’s myopic view of his world. Bizarro challenges Clark Kent’s destiny. But in the end, it was his best friend-turned-archenemy who threatened to end everything that Clark Kent would someday become.

Some of the extra features in the DVD include a Supergirl documentary, “Jimmy on Jimmy” featurette, Smallville Legends Mobisodes Gallery, a comic book, unaired scenes, and cast & creator commentaries on two key episodes. MovieWeb described the special features in detail.

This episode really felt like the last day of school before senior year. You know you’ll see your friends again after the summer, but also know that when school opens in the fall – it’s your last year together.

Knowing that “Arctic” is the last episode before the final year begins in the fall, and the fact that two of the main actors are leaving the show… this episode brings a lot of nostalgia and closures with it… but on to the review first.

After his cover was blown at St. Christopher’s church, Edward Teague escapes to South America in a chartered jet. Unfortunately, Kara intercepted his plans and acting as a stewardess, demanded the location of the device that controls Kal El. In threat of his life, Teague reveals the name of Lex Luthor.

At the mansion, Lex learns that two of his advance teams to the arctic simply vanished. Jimmy enters the room and Lex tells him to get Lois off his back by helping her find some false information – an oil drilling expedition. Otherwise, he’ll drop Chloe back into the lap of the Dept. of Domestic Security.

At the farm, Lois tells Clark that an internship position at the Daily planet has just opened, and Clark would be perfect for it. Her spiel of Clark being destined for greater things in life than working on a farm, she hit bulls eye without knowing it. Chloe interrupts the conversation to tell Clark that Teague’s plane went down an hour after take off. Chloe and Clark go to the Isis Foundation and hacking the NTSB, Chloe gets the blackbox recording. Clark zeroes in to hear Kara’s conversation with Teague about Lex.

Kara goes to the mansion and finds the orb, but it turns out that she can’t use it. Clark appears immediately from behind her and Kara tells him that she didn’t want anyone controlling Clark. She will do everything she can to save the planet, even when Clark won’t. She kicks Clark on the head when he tried to stop her.

Lex finds Kara waiting for him at the mansion. She talks about Veritas – the secret society formed to control a powerful alien from another planet. Lex denies any knowledge of it, until Kara tells him that the she and the Traveler are from the same planet. When Kara shows her powers to Lex, he realizes that she’s the angel that saved him from drowning. Kara convinces Lex that it is his destiny to defeat the Traveler, and points that the orb contains directions to his fortress. When Lex asked why she would turned her back a fellow Kryptonian, Kara replies that she was wrong about the Traveler – he will destroy earth.

At the farm, Clark was getting ready to use the green kryptonite to weaken Kara, in hopes that she will not cause anymore harm. But Chloe insists that she can do it, and without Clark. He reluctantly agrees. At the talon, Chloe calls Kara on her cell phone and when she appears, Chloe shoves the green rock towards her but nothing happens. That’s when Kara transformed into Brainiac! He drills a hole into Chloe to drain her energy when a bright light envelopes Chloe and Brainiac got scared! “What the hell are you?!”

Chloe gets admitted to Smallville Medical Center and Clark visits her, sorry that she got into trouble for his sake. When she suddenly opened her eyes, he realized she crossed path with Brainiac and not Kara.

Brainiac has grown weak. Chloe’s powers had drained him of his, and he goes to an electric grid to revive himself. Clark finds Brainiac there and tells him to bring back Lana, Chloe and Kara. Brainiac taunts him that the only way these women are going to heal back is if Clark kills him – and Clark doesn’t have the guts to kill a man. To which Clark’s classic reply is – you’re not man, you’re a machine, and destroys Brainiac right there. Way to go, Kal El!

Meanwhile, Jimmy had given Lois the wrong information from Lex but was feeling so bad about it – the guy can’t lie – so he returns to Lex to tell him he can’t hurt his own friends. Lex admires Jimmy for his integrity and walks away.

With Brainiac dead, Chloe and Lana both recover. Clark visits Lana at the hospital but she had already gone, with only a video left for Clark to watch. Lara said her goodbyes to Clark and admits that as long as she is in his life, she is holding him back from his destiny. As if on cue, Lois Lane enters the room, sees Clark in tears and receives him in her arms in a hug. It was a beautiful farewell from what can never be, to welcome what the future of Clark Kent is going to hold – in the arms of Lois Lane!

Meanwhile, Chloe and Jimmy are now at the Talon and he proposes his love for her, with a ring! Well, a fake one… just then, government agents rush in and takes her away! Chloe’s last words before being dragged away “tell Clark!”, which, must be always weird to hear from a boyfriend’s point of view.

Still, Jimmy did find Clark at the farm. Clark found out three things in that one-sentence-rush-of-words from Jimmy – Chloe gets arrested, he made a deal with Lex, and Lex is at the arctic.

Lex finds himself now at the Fortress of Solitude, mesmerized with what he saw. Clark flies in and the old friends exchange barbs. Lex thought he was being betrayed – that he could have helped Clark become the hero. But he now understood that this is his destiny, his birthright, to destroy the Traveler before he destroys earth. Clark on the other hand, was pleading with Lex that his life is in Lex’s hands and that by using the orb Clark will lose control over his own life. But Lex triumphantly declares that Kal El will never threaten the world again, and plunges the orb into the crystals. Clark weakens more and more, and the Fortress starts crumbling. Lex has the last words – “i loved you like a brother but it has to end this way. I’m sorry.”

The Fortress disappears from sight.

Season finale ends.

Since the first year, Smallville has always delivered season finales that are major cliffhangers. And this being the last season before the final year, “Arctic” looks like it’s going to be one awesome episode.

Here’s what we know so far: (spoilers!!!)

• Lex will discover what the location on the holographic globe points to, and Kara will take him there – to the Fortress of Solitude
• Brainiac has taken over Kara’s body, and the real Kara is trapped in the Phantom Zone
• Chloe is arrested by the Department of Domestic Security
• Lana wakes up from her comatose, and she’ll get better, but she will leave town.
• Finally, Clark and Lex will face off with each other in the Fortress

As we already know, this is the final year for Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk as regular casts. So I hope we see their characters get some major airtime! Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar are also leaving Smallville as producers.
