What in the name of all that is holy was going on in this episode?  I mean it was over and I was like ‘huh’.  I seriously had no clue what to think.  I was sad, I was bewildered, and the best description in numb and disillusioned.  Is that how you are supposed to feel at the end of your favorite show, not usually?  But as always this is my opinion and what I say or think has nothing to do what anyone else would say about it.  Did it have its moments?  Yes, they all do to a degree but on the whole I was left feeling like ‘huh’.

Rokk is convincing Clark to send Doomsday to the future so the Legion can deal with him.

Clark meets Rokk on the top of the Planet.  Rokk tells him that Clark’s saving Chloe from Brainiac did get rid of Brainiac in the future but it also got rid of him.  Rokk gives Clark back a Legion ring and Clark knows that he has to be the one to face Doomsday.

We see Clark seated at his desk and he is writing a letter.  Lois starts busting his chops about whatever he is writing and what was he doing about Chloe.  I do have to say Clark was being on the tad bit of the rude side.  But she goes off to get her coffee fix and Lois turns to find Clark gone.  But her phone ringing.  The Red Blue Blur calls her and asks a favor of her.  When she looks up there is a letter on her desk, which she opens right away, which he chides her for.  She wants to know why he is saying goodbye.  He tells her that if anything ever happens to him, that Lois is supposed to run with the story.  Lois tells him she knows he is going to survive this and that she will be waiting at the phone booth at midnight.  I rather liked her asking what he thought of phone booths.  “There fine.”  Nice one Clark.

Clark calls Bart and Dinah to help him save Davis

Clark is at the farm waiting for Dinah and Bart to arrive.  He plans for them to work with him in splitting Davis from the beast and thus burying the beast.  Clark brings out the black Kryptonite and gives it to Bart.  But Ollie shows up and says that he needs to do what is right.  They need to kill the beast and not split it.  Clark tells Ollie that he is not part of the anymore since he crossed the line and then Clark tells the other two that Oliver killed Lex.  Clark tells him that he is no longer part of them.  Ollie walks off.  Like I knew that was not the end of it!

Ollie had sent Jimmy on a mission and he breaks into Tess’s office.  And as he attempts to hack into her computer to find Chloe, he stomps on Lois hand as she hides under the desk.  So she looks over his shoulder and Jimmy finds Chloe and Davis and tells Lois to keep watching.  See you see in an earlier scene Chloe and Sam talking about the stars and the constellations and how that if they keep running they can live a normal life. Once again.

Tess is ticked that the Orb has been stolen.  She comes to the Planet and accuses Lois of taking it.  Yep, you guessed right!  Fight, chick fight!!  They are throwing teach other across the room and over the desk and then they hit Clark’s desk.  He had placed the Legion ring in a box and when they knocked it out Lois puts it on and she is gone!  What could she do to the future and what will this bring for next season!

With black Kryptonite, Davis is split from Doomsday

Back to everyone else, Clark gets a message that they found Chloe and he listens and hears that she is in trouble.  Only thing is when Clark gets there, he is in trouble.  Black Canary and Impulse have been working with Ollie all along.  They could not let him do this.  They knew if he sat the beast loose first it could be the end of the world.  Ollie shot him with a Kryptonite arrow.  Down goes our hero and the other three go off to face Doomsday/Davis.  Jimmy ventures there after he had found Chloe and Davis.  He sees Clark writhing on the ground and he pulls out the arrow and sees Clark healing right away.  Clark stands and Jimmy knows.  Clark says he is the Red Blue Blur and that it is Jimmy’s job to see that Chloe and Davis are safe and that he needs to give Chloe her wedding present.  For a moment it seems that all is right in the world, except it is going to pot.  The other three Leaguers find Chloe and Davis and knocked them out.  Chloe comes to and finds Davis on the floor.  While there she spies the black Kryptonite in Bart’s bag and Chloe figure out that they did this because Clark refused to go along with the plan.  Chloe grabs the Kryptonite and splits the two, after Davis tells her that her being around is not helping anymore.  Doomsday splits from Davis and then the beast attacks.  Clark comes to find the carnage, Chloe, Davis, Ollie, Bart, and Dinah are all down.  Clark tells them that he will take Doomsday and they need to set off the charges once he gets him there.

Clark hears him in Metropolis and as he looks at the phone booth and realizes that Lois is not there you see the ground moving and then a car comes at him.  He stops it and then Clark sees Doomsday with a child and then Clark gets her out of the way and then Doomsday attacks him and beats him senseless, bloody and broken and crashing through building after building.  When the beast attacks again Clark lifts him up in the air and crashed him into the area where Ollie has the charges set up.

Chloe tells Jimmy she never left him

Back at Chloe’s wedding gift, Jimmy Chloe and Davis wait.  Davis is out and Chloe reveals that all of this was to protect Clark and he tells her he knows all about Clark and the ‘what’ that she has been hiding from him.  Jimmy tells her that she is almost a bigger hero after what she had done for everyone, all her sacrifices.  Chloe says that she had lost him and Jimmy tells her that she had found him.  But before any further reverie can happen, Jimmy is pierced through the heart with a steal rod and falls to floor.  Davis has heard how Chloe has lied and now he wants to kill her.  Only Jimmy kills him and dies but tells her he loves her before he is gone.  You read this right they killed off Jimmy Olsen.

At the funeral, there is no Clark beside of his best friend but Ollie was there, crying and Bart and Dinah.  A man and his little boy were there and Chloe walks up to him and says he must be Jimmy’s brother and she gives him the camera and tells him Jimmy would have wanted him to have it.  I’ll be back to that in a minute.

Meet Jimmy's little brother - the real Jimmy Olsen we know

Clark has been at the funeral and had just been standing away from them.  He goes back to the house/condo whatever that Jimmy had bought for Chloe for the wedding gift and there he proceeds to take the blame for Jimmy’s death, that all the time he had been worried about Davis the alien killing people when all along it was the human side.  Clark says that he never was human and he has been putting humanity first and not what he should be doing.  He tells Chloe that he has to go so that he can rid himself of those feelings.  He says goodbye but right before had told her that Clark Kent was dead.  And then he fades out as he walks out her door.

Is this Zod?

Tess at the mansion sees this glowing and these voices.  At the bottom a naked man, the symbol for Zod and the word Zod . . . fade to black!

So, the negative:  Clark once again was a footnote in this episode again.  To me it seemed as if most of this season has been about Chloe, Davis and Jimmy.  I would have liked to have seen a lot more Clark in this one.  Then there was the fact that Clark acted a lot like he was disconnected from the whole thing, like his heart wasn’t in it.  Or maybe he was under the weather because he sounded like he was a little stopped up.  While we are picking on Clark: who’s watching Shelby now, taking care of the farm and watching over his mom?  What is going to happen to all these things with him gone?

Okay, how did Jimmy afford that place?  It was not so long ago that he did not have two sticks to rub together yet now he buys digs like that?  And while we are on the subject of Jimmy: huh?  Why did they kill him?  More than that why did they have Aaron playing this Jimmy guy and it was never the real Jimmy to begin with?   I get that this younger version will be a more plausible choice but it seems sort of odd thing to do.

Now none of them work at the Planet.  Tess fired Lois, Jimmy is dead and Clark is going to find himself.  Going to be kind of useless to have it there with none of them working for it.

So, the positive: the bad guy of choice for next year: ZOD!  How cool is that?!  And did my eyes fool me or did he have a Davis Bloom quality about him?  You realize he was created by Zod and who says he cannot look like him?  Well there were rumors of Sam’s return but not as Doomsday.  Well, he could be Zod.

Smallville did not disappoint.  They left things wide open and gave us all reasons to wonder what was going on.  Now we have until next season to figure it all out.  I kind of like this feel of wonder to an extent.  Sorry, I like my Smallville with a lot more Clark.  This is his story by the way.  What do I think the next year holds?  Who knows?  You’re guess is as good as mine.  But it will be worth our time to see what TPTB have in store for Season Nine.  Until then, Laters!
