Smallville episode 8.22 "Doomsday"
Airdate: May 14, 2009

Oliver Queen thinks Clark Kent is a wuss. In the Green Arrow’s mind, Clark is this super-powered alien who doesn’t care about really saving the world (read: get rid of the world’s villains) but only wants to save “his friends” and who has such a narrow view of his destiny. We heard Oliver push Clark many times to take up the mantle, and Clark always disappointed him.

Well, it looks like Oliver has had enough. If Clark can’t or won’t do it, then he will. Oliver got Lex killed, didn’t he, when Clark won’t lay a hand. And now there’s Doomsday that Clark is so worried about not killing that it must piss a hero like Green Arrow!

So, for the season finale this Thursday, Oliver is charging his Justice League to step in and take over. But first they have to get rid of Clark!

Get a hold of the promo pictures and see Black Canary, Impulse and Green Arrow take down Clark Kent. But how in the world did they do that?! Clark Kent is supposed to be invincible!

Smallville episode 8.22 "Doomsday"
Airdate: May 14, 2009

Uh-oh, it looks like Clark is in deep trouble! Justice League members Black Canary and Impulse/Bart Allen and the only time they show up is when Clark needs friends to save him! And Legion member Cosmic Boy is back from the future too!

From the season finale (Doomsday) trailer, it looks like Clark needs some serious help! Oliver really wants Davis Bloom dead, and will stop at nothing to kill the monster. And Cosmic Boy Rokk warns Clark that “tomorrow is your day to die”!!! Chloe’s going to intervene too, and if you look closely at the trailer, you’ll see that she might have separated Davis from his alter-ego Doomsday, all to save Clark, which Davis does not like at all!

And what’s the orb got to do with things now? Watch the trailer –

And what’s this?! Cosmic Boy comes back from the future to warn Clark that saving Chloe has jeopardized the superman’s own future!

Smallville episode 8.21 "Injustice"
Airdate: May 7, 2009

Here’s the director’s cut for tonight’s episode in Smallville, “Injustice”, and unfortunately, it’s the same scene as the webclip. It shows Chloe being chased by a monster, or what sounds like Doomsday, through a forest and she calls out Clark’s name.

The friendship between Clark and Chloe is really interesting isn’t it? She calls for him and he’ll come running to her rescue. This episode is the last one before the finale for season 8, and I keep wondering who’s gonna fall. There’s always someone from Smallville who either dies or gets terribly hurt by season’s end.

Early in March it was spoiled that a vet and a newcomer are going to die. Later on, it’s that someone will leave and another dies. Speculations, anyone? If we’re to look at the greater Superman mythos, then Chloe must die, huh… and maybe Davis leaves? Or Tess Mercer?

Well, tonight might be a clue… or not… anyhow, here are some more info about episode “Injustice”. Enjoy the spoilers before the big show tonight!

Smallville episode 8.21 "Injustice"
Airdate: May 7, 2009

CW released promo images for the Smallville episode Injustice, and it looks like Tess Mercer is in trouble! Plastique and a fellow meteor-freak tied Tess into a chair and seems to be interrogating her. In fact, they might be about to just kill her. Plastique has a sword pointed directly above Tess’ heart!

Nah, I don’t think Tess is any bit scared of them. Even without any superpowers, that girl is badass. No need to be worried about her. But I’d worry about Clark. These are meteor-infected people he’s dealing with after all, and he would be helpless and vulnerable around them.

Smallville episode 8.21 "Injustice"
Airdate: May 7, 2009

Chloe believes that Davis will be able to control the beast within him if she stays by him all the time. No bathroom breaks even?! But it’s amazing that her presence really works wonders. Last week, Davis was just about to transform into Doomsday and probably harm Clark when Davis immediately calmed down. Maybe he smelled her before he even saw her…

So what is Chloe doing running away scared from Davis?! Here’s a sneak peek at a scene for this Thursday’s episode “Injustice” on Smallville -

I wonder what the scene before it was. Was Doomsday chasing Chloe, and about to kill her? Or was that an effect that one of the meteor-freaks did to make Chloe think she’s being chased? Whatever the case, the meteor-freaks used this to bring Clark to Chloe, and perhaps get him to fight Doomsday.

In the episode where Plastique first appeared, Chloe had been there for her and befriended her. But the girl thought that Chloe betrayed her. I wonder if Plastique thinks of this as payback, or did Tess Mercer seriously brainwash them all to do her bidding?

We all think of Clark as a man of integrity and principle, right. He’s sworn never to kill anyone, to give someone a second chance or the benefit of the doubt. In his mind, saving someone means pointing them to the light. That’s why Doomsday is still alive.

But Oliver told Clark how stupid he thinks this principle is, and especially now that Chloe has disappeared with Davis. Now, the world is still unsafe and at risk because Clark would not get rid of Davis… well, Clark almost did, until Chloe stopped him, which didn’t make sense to me. Didn’t Clark banish Davis’ mom back to the Phantom Zone?

Here’s the trailer for the Smallville episode “Injustice”, but I admit it’s a little confusing. I can’t seem to make out what this trailer wants to show.

Smallville episode 8.21 "Injustice"
Airdate: May 7, 2009

Last week, Davis thought that being around Chloe would keep the inner-demon under control. So the new couple decided to disappear in hopes that Smallville will be safe, and in Chloe’s mind – that Clark won’t have blood in his hands from killing Davis.

Unfortunately, that wish won’t last long. CW released the episode description for “Injustice” -

Chloe (Allison Mack) returns and begs Clark (Tom Welling) to kill Davis (Sam Witwer), claiming he can no longer keep the beast under control.  Tess (Cassidy Freeman) has assembled a team of meteor freaks, including Plastique (guest star Jessica Parker Kennedy), to track down Davis so Clark can kill him.  However, things get out of hand once Tess’ team discovers she is double-crossing them.  Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore and Justin Hartley also star.  Mairzee Almas directed the episode written by Al Septian & Turi Meyer

So Tess Mercer interferes with Clark’s destiny, much like her predecessor Lex did. She believes that having a supervillain will push Clark to become a superhero. I guess it is so easy become obsessed with ‘pushing’ the superhero out of Clark, huh. Some, like Chloe want Clark’s hands to be kept clean, because he’s the people’s hero. Oliver is baffled, and probably thinks Clark a coward, because his friend can’t get past being a saint.

So Plastique comes back! Tess Mercer was successful creating her own team of anti-heroes. I wonder how she brainwashed them, but it looks like Tess’ plans are going to backfire. I’m not going to be sorry if that happens. Tess’ ways are no way to make Clark become superman!

Smallville episode 8.19 "Stiletto"
Airdate: April 23 2009

Smallville returns with a new superhero in town. With such a sexy name like Stiletto, what can go wrong? Well… plenty if the superhero is someone named Lois Lane!

Next on Smallville, Lois Lane goes undercover as a superhero, dressed in tight leather and high heels. She wants to meet the “red-blue-blur” a guess who shows up?

Yeah.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens after Lois meets the Man of Steel, which led me to think of the classic Superman scene when Lois asks “who are you?” as he saves the reporter from falling to her death.

“A friend.” Wonder if Smallville gets to use that.

Smallville episode 8.21 "Injustice"
Airdate: May 7, 2009

  The CW released the description for the episode “Injustice” and it looks like Chloe is going to betray Davis by asking begging Clark to kill him!

Knowing Clark, he’s not going to do it. Now Tess Mercer assembles her own team to deal with Davis – meteor freaks led by Plastique (returning guest star Jessica Parker Kennedy)! Tess wants them to track down Davis so Clark can kill him. This kind of confrontation is exactly what Tess wants. She believes Clark will only stand up to his destiny when faced with his greatest enemy. Here we go again. Tess becomes a Luthor in their obsession to get Clark to become the Traveler.

It makes one wonder what event will make Clark embrace his full destiny. Is it the emergence of a threat as formidable as Doomsday, or the death of someone he loves?

Smallville episode 8.20 "Beast"
Airdate: April 30, 2009

Here are some promo images for the Smallville episode “Beast”. It’s deja vu’ all over again as Clark, Chloe and Davis confront one another in the darkened Fortress of Solitude. Recall that the Brainiac (in Chloe) infected the Fortress when she escaped there with Doomsday.

The images show Clark holding a blue crystal that looks similar to (or the same as) the crystal the Zor-El gave to Kara. Anyone can insert the crystal into the Fortress console, but only Clark can get it out.
