Just because the character 'Jimmy' is lined up for 13 episodes of season 7, doesn't automatically mean that Chloe is still alive you know. I have noticed that the writers are slowly moving SV into more and more of the Superman lore. They added Lois, the Justice League, Jimmy etc. Now they just have to delete those parts of SV that are not important or part of the Lore, Chloe, Lana (yes, she was in the lore technically, but not by the time Clark was working at the Daily Planet hence why she needs to be gone, Clana will live forever) and Lion-el need to be dead.

Yea thats true, my friend just pointed out that Jimmy was in the new Superman movie as Clarks friend (didn't notice it was him when I watched it) so he could be brought back as Clarks buddy and also, didn't Lois and him date in the comics? Chloe being gone () would open up that possibility.

I'll say a quick two cents on the finale:

It was really good. I think parts of it were really rushed but it the end not bad. Definitely left a lot hanging out there to be resolved come the fall, but all we can hope for is a kick ass resolution.

I think that Lana staged her death to get back at Lex. It was worth it to see the look on Lex's face when Clark told him or basically accused Lex of killing her. I am sure that he will have alot of time to ponder the errors of his ways or come up with new evil plans. All I can say is Lex turned out to be such a coward running and leaving everyone else to die at the hands of the phantom.

I think that it will be interesting to see just how all of this effects Clark and the direction he will take. His mother is in D.C. All of his friends are in danger or possibly dead. And the phantom wanders out there with his face preparing to cause all kinds of problems. It will all be yet another burden he shoulders but how it will change him is yet to be seen.

I think that the next season should be worth the wait to find out how all of this plays itself out. But overall kick butt ending.

On the other hand, it doesn't automatically mean that she *is* dead, either. Smallville hasn't always been spot on canon, ya know. They do have a way of veering off that past, as proven in past episodes and seasons. So, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that she's dead.

When do the actors come back to work and start working on the fall season?? Does anyone know? Maybe August?

Spike it up

That has been my biggest problem with the fake pregnancy. If Lex was behind it, it really didn't make any sense that he would to it so early when they were both in love. Plus he seemed surprised when he heard she was pregnant in Static.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like a well developed storyline, it's full of holes.
Honestly - no idea.
When I watched it first time, I thought phantom passed through Clark's body and grabbed a DNA sample. But after rewatching it looks like phantom didn't get pass the S symbol.
The S shaped one? Yeah, it's really fast, but you can see Clark holding it, and phantom crashing on it, and the piece with the S symbol breaking.
Here are caps:

I think she's able to absorbed injuries from others. But it's just a guess.
He also promised the JLA guys that he'd help them after he "takes care of the other problem he has" (phantoms).
They are writing themselves into a corner. They better think of something really big and good for season 7.

Well in his defence none of them have any weapons to fight the phantoms. Running in opposite direction is the best option. Not very brave or noble, but a logical one.
Hm, I can't remember when they usually go back on set to start shooting.
But I believe it is a month or month and a half before the new season starts.

I actually thought that Lex was using Lana as an incubator to make a meteor freak with all different powers from those freaks he sampled (including Chloe.)

Spike it up

I suspected something like that in Promise when the doctor threatened to tell Lana the truth.
It would have been more cool than fake pregnancy.
Plus, while she was out "after the miscarriage" they could have taken the freak embryo out.

Camibra

Exactly. That would have been a better plotline imo.

Spike it up

And it would make Lex look evil and menacing, and not pathetic.

I think all of you need to get together and write a script!! You have great ideas and I bet you could come up with a whole season of them. You'd have to make up a new character though.

Just a thought. To quote a line from Grey's "seriously"!

xjoyusx

I've heard Clana fans, among a few other people, make the argument that the reason Lex looked as surprised as he did or as shocked (as we all think he looked at the time) - was, because he was smirking somehow or doing a mental little dance of glee in his head that his nefarious, "operation fake pregnancy" actaully took and was working.

But I don't believe that one bit at all. I mean, everything about his reaction from the time he heard her mention of it, up until he told her at the end of the episode how happy he was that she was having his baby and then that scene of him fixing up the surprise nursery for her and being all giddy about the coming birth of their child, tells me otherwise. That's what I use for my counter argument to the above.

So, honestly...I don't know what to think anymore. Except, that I think that Lionel had something to do with pumping Lana full of those hormones that tricked her body into thinking it was pregnant.

Holes. Yay. *insert sarcastic giggle here* Smallville sure is full of them, huh?

I have to admit myself, that would have been an interesting storyline for the writer's to explore and one that I wouldn't have minded so much. To be honest, anything would have been better than this, "baby that isn't really a baby and was never really there at all", storyline.

Ellegirl

I total agree with all of your statements, for a while there I thought maybe the baby was going to be used for experimentation until she said she was never pregnant. I am not really sure Chloe will be back, Jimmy is such a huge character in the Superman lore, without Chloe, and he is a strong enough character to survive without her. Here are some things I hope to see next season: 1) Clark doing some training at the Fortress, not full fledged, but some
2) To hear Jor-el return
3) Lois and Clark to finally land at the Daily Planet or at least in jobs close to that
4) Clark to move to Metropolis
5) Lex to finally get his, lol
Well that is all for now, though I am sure I will think of more later

Two things I have heard (and I hope they're true):
1. Tom has signed a contract for an 8th season
2. The character of Chloe (as an adult) may be written into (and the rights to her purchased by) the Superman comics.
Those things tell me that Clark will probably stay on the farm and Chloe may not be dead.

Well your right about about Chloe Sullivan being 'bought' by the Superman franchise! So hopefully your right about Tom!
