Orestes96I'm shocked my rambles make any sense at all.
It's more than that. They rock!
I'd be happy if someone remembered/mentioned that Lex was poisoned in s3, but I don't think I'll see that either.
I was pretty sure that someone in primary colours was going to tell him the whole story in 5.14 Tomb, when Lex was going to put Chloe in Belle Reve, following Lana's advice (bitch, bitch, bitch!). But this fact seems to be virtually forgotten.
BTW, who cares about Lex's past when it's Lana's present everyone is thinking about?
CybHave Clark just blog about his flying adventures. "Dear totally private blog that no one is reading... today i flew again. i went up really high and fast. it is how i caught the bad guys. i also used my xray vision and my new superbreath and other expensive stuff like that. p.s. lois' ford fusion emits very little pollution, which meant i had very plesant air to fly thru."
Clark Kent flies again! On AOL! Read and imagine!
I wish everyone on Smallville had their blogs. Chloe could write something like:
"Dear diary, today Lana told me that if she will learn that any of her past or present boyfriends had another relationship, she'd die immediately from a heart attack. So I told her the truth about me, Clark and Lex. And you know what? This bitch lied again!
I connected to her brain server while she was sleeping. Despite it wasn't processing any information and was showing off a pink screensaver of dancing lollipops, there was some info about the body hardware. What I found shocked me a lot. She has a nut instead of heart! This explains everything..."

Holy contradiction.
Basically my number one wish is for Lex to know. It's time. It's getting ridiculous. I just want him to know. It doesn't even change much, he would bide his time. He wouldn't hurt Lana with the knowledge. I really just think it'll up everything to a new level.
I also want to see a return villain. I don't know whom, but I want to see one.

My wishlist for Season Six.
- Clark and Lana stay broken up.
- Lex and Lana have a serious talk about their relationship. Lana reveals the following things:
- She feels like they rushed in to their relationship. (Lex could counter that they've been "good friends" for years and therefore nothing can really be rushed.)
- She feels like she's been drifting from boyfriend to boyfriend and she's never really tried to sort her life out on her own. (Calling herself on the whole backup-guy situation.)
- She wants to try and spend her time worrying about her own future, and not angsting over a boy.
- Lana hits the books and focuses on college, majoring in some sort of science. Reasons:
- Lana seriously needs to start developing into something other than a pretty face. I hate Lana now because she seems like such a shallow waste of space. So here's to hoping she can be made into a real person.
- She can get an internship at one of Lex's sooper sekrit labratories and therefore be an active part of his life even if they're not boning.
- If they're going to retcon Lex away from his ingenius scientist route and more towards the ruthless business mogul thing, then he needs to be close to someone who actually knows what they're doing in that field. Maybe his ingenuity and her (snicker) "brains" can devise a whole new crop of stuff for Clark to battle against.
- As much as I hate to say it, I don't want to see the Chlark. They need to be just friends.
- Clark and Chloe have a serious discussion (maybe even in the same episode as Lexana's chat, in a nice bit of parallelism) about their relationship. Chloe tries to pull the "let's just be friends" card again and Clark tells her no.
- Clark needs to reveal to Chloe that he loves her, but is scared of committing to someone right now. (After the year he's had, who wouldn't be?) He doesn't want to pull her down with his grief and his angst, blah blah, she's the only one who really knows him so he's hoping she's the one who really understands why he needs time alone, blah blah.
- He admits that he's confused about who he's supposed to be, how he's supposed to live his life as some sort of savior without putting the people he loves in danger. This could possibly be the launchpad for Clark trying to decide/figure out how he's going to live a double life, maybe it's the first step in the direction of him actually splitting his life up into the Clark Kent/Superman identities.
- Chloe gets into all sorts of hijinks trying to investigate what Lana and Lex are doing at their sooper sekrit labratory. Her computer hacking bites her in the ass with the legal staff at the DP, and consequently gets moved off the Luthor beat and becomes a junior reporter on the political beat. This is more of a let down to her than Clark putting the brakes on a potential relationship, but she meets a new guy on the political beat.
- Martha tells off Lionel. He's no Jonathan Kent and will never be, and she wants to focus on being Senator. Because there's nothing as scary as a Luthor scorned, Lionel begins trying to pick at the Senator's credibility.
- Lois screws something up big time and resigns as Chief of Staff. Instead of confessing that she "picks the wrong guys", she has a real discussion about how she has no direction and how she needs to buckle down and figure out what kind of life she wants to lead. Nice bit of parallelism to what Clark and Lana are going through individually. Lois gets interested in the stuff Chloe is doing at the Daily Planet, and since she's had an inside view of the political machine for the past half season, Chloe agrees to let Lois tag along with her. (Thereby introducing Lois, really, to journalism, blah blah.)
- Clark and Lana have a real breakup. Knock-down, drag-out argument kind of breakup. They should bring up everything, like a continuity purge of the last five seasons -- Whitney, Jason, Alicia, the Red-K episodes, her not trusting him, him trusting her in all the wrong ways, blah blah blah, each of them calls the other on to the carpet and it's actually a nice bit of closure to the end of the Clana.

Booberella, I like those wishes. I think they're entirely reasonable, too! I'd wish for Lois to leave for some adventure that took place entirely in Offscreenville, but it's not in the realm of possibility. They're gonna have her around whether I want her or not.
My fashion related wishes:
Lana is crushed under the weight of her own hair.
Clark's bangs and eyebrows go through a mighty Rift and declare each other arch-enemies. They only reunite briefly to work together in killing the Horrible Red Jacket.
Lex undergoes a meteor mutation that causes him to sprout a thick mat of chest hair. Permanently. That one's for you, Rosenbaum!
Lana stops buying her clothes based on the question, "What would look best with my current boyfriend?" This is shortly before she's crushed under the weight of her own hair.
Chloe gets to wear her hair wavy and glam, like Reese Witherspoon or Charlize Theron.
Lois shows up only to pimp products, usually by making out of date cultural references about everyone's fashion sense. I can't even think of examples, because I am probably younger and cooler than most of the writers.

Maybe they'll make a whole episode out of Lana trying to escape the evil clutches of her credit rating. What is she buying all those clothes with? Coupons for free lattes at the Talon?
Lois shows up only to pimp products, usually by making out of date cultural references about everyone's fashion sense.
Dude. This is a theory based on previously established patterns. Therefore, it's no wish. It should totally be in the speculation thread, because odds are, you're right on the money.

booberella, I think that's a fantastic wishlist. I'd quote the entire thing and write 'Word!' at the end, but that'd just be a complete waste of space. Heh. To make up for it, I'll even agree with you on the Chlark. I want it to happen, but I really wouldn't be disappointed if it happened the way you wrote it. And that's saying something, considering I'm a Chlarker to the core.
Cyb, as usual, you rock my world. And as usual, I'm fully agreeing with you on everything, especially the part about Clark's bangs and THRJ (no surprise there!). They've.Got.To.Go.
Ok, on another note, there's been all this speculation about Green Arrow being a potential boyfriend for Chloe. Now, as someone who isn't an avid comic fan, whatever information I've gathered on GA has been from these boards. I'm curious now; supposing GA did make it to Smallville as Chloe's boyfriend in S6, who would you like to see play him?

My first, last, and biggest wish for SV is for Chlois to actually happen. That, alone, IMO, would make up for the disaster that was Season 4 and (most) of the Season 5 Clana and Clexana.
For Season 6, though, I’d go with the following:
--Lex remembers everything, but he pretends to forget. Therefore, he knows (a) who Clark and Zod really are; (b) that Lana macked on Zod without noticing or caring that it wasn’t really Lex; and © that Clark refused to kill him even to save the world from Zod. Meanwhile, everyone else has no clue that Lex knows all this. We’d spend a lot of the season watching MR/Lex gleefully manipulate everyone around him in order to discover how to regain Zod’s power (even though he also realizes that Clark’s friendship is genuine). THIS is a story arc I’d love to see!
--I wouldn’t mind seeing Chlark, or seeing Chloe get another love interest like GA, but it would have to be done right (i.e., no angsty triangles.) Given that we’re talking about AlMiles here, I’m a little afraid to make this an official “wish.” To me, the important thing is that, whatever relationship they have this season, it leaves the door open for a Chlois ending.
--Martha quits being so “unsure” and shows Lionel the door, in no uncertain terms. Lionel, in a delicious return to MB-hood, tries to get back at her by attacking Clark.
--ED!Lois gets bored with politics, as she has gotten bored with everything else, and decides to ship off to Fort Bragg for Army Ranger training. We never see her again.
--After Lex totally humiliates Lana and dumps her, Lana actually starts going to class, and works hard to finish her degree. Off-screen.
*Sigh* I can dream, can’t I? :)

- Lois screws something up big time and resigns as Chief of Staff.
See, I'd love it if her "Lookit me, I'm SOOO tough!" catches up with her; she shoots off her mouth to the wrong kind of people while working (in Superman the politicians are notoriously bad, the first people he shot down was a dirty govener) and ends up seriously messed up for her trouble. [Thus she is the one needing to hide her identiy, blah, blah, blah. :)]
- I'd also like to see more DP/Metro episodes. I wouldn't mind Clark starting at the DP this year sometime, infact, it would make their scoobying easier.
- Clark in Met U in the fall. Again, I wouldn't mind some Met U episodes either. Plus then, they can take advantage of sets they already have.
--Martha quits being so “unsure” and shows Lionel the door, in no uncertain terms. Lionel, in a delicious return to MB-hood, tries to get back at her by attacking Clark.
Word.
4) I don't want Lex to forget about Clark being an alien. I want to see Lex show some genius and only pretend to forget to get a strategic advantage over Clark while he plots against him. Under the circumstances of the show, they have to bite this bullet sometime. This might as well be it.
5) I don't want Clark to save Nois from the plane. I want to see Lionel save Martha and Nois from Brainiac thereby earning him some more respect from Martha. Plus, it makes sense since he's the only one who has ever been able to truly kill Brainiac by absorbing him.
7) I don't want Chloe rescued out of her situation by someone else. I'd like to see her kick those thugs in the groin and use her taser gun to finish the job before running away.
More word.

--ED!Lois gets bored with politics, as she has gotten bored with everything else, and decides to ship off to Fort Bragg for Army Ranger training. We never see her again.
Sounds good to me!
I'd like to see more emotional Clex, and see the pain the rift causes both Clark and Lex. Lex recalling the dream from Lexmas "I head a dream once...Clark and I were friends again" was so touching. More of that from both of them, please.
Lots of future Superman/Luther dynamics which I loved in Crisis and Cyborg. And some more rolling around on the floor fighting would be nice as well!
I'd like to see the writers actually surprise us by allowing Chlark to happen as a functional relationship. Same as the team work they had going in season 5, but with kisses on top *g* Show that they are capable of writing a relationship without resorting to UST all of the time.
And I also want lots of Lexana screen time, with Lana gradually becoming darker as she is seduced by Lex more and more. And heaps of Zod!
Also Clark taking an interest in journalism

Word. No more angsty relationships. Just a nice functional one (specifically, the Chlark:-). And in all the time they've wasted on angst and secrets and lies on the past, they can actually have Clark develop into, you know, a hero.
More character development. Less freaking angst.
Oh, yeah, and I want Clark to go back to college, too. Met U would be good, but whatever. The boy can't become a journalist if he doesn't get his degree. I'd like to see him interning at the DP, too. I'm not sure he's got the credentials, but it seems to me "Fade" was foreshadowing that a bit, so we'll see. Maybe he can freelance for the DP. Or he could freelance for the Inquisitor and have to compete with Chloe for scoops. That'd be fun.

Jun 22, 2006 @ 4:21 pm
Ok here is my *official* season 6 wishlist....I posted it over on K-site, but I am gonna post it here because I still wish for the same things....
Ok...
1)Clark starting to actually*want* to be more Supermanly. Seeing him *want* to save people, and not feel burdened by everything.
Oh and while you are at it...maybe throw Clark a couple of extra brain cells his way? Most of the time he's fine, but sometimes I worry.
2)Please no Mionel. Yes they have amazing chemistry--but some things are better left alone. To let Martha get involved with Lionel--after all he has put her and her family through--is just wrong and makes Martha look like a fool. It's icky.
Oh and SOMEONE remembering that Lionel tried to hurt/kill them before. Why has everyone forgotten?
3)Chloe keep moving up the ranks of the DP. Chlois at last!(if not this season then at least by the end.)
Oh and please..Chloe is a great hacker. Cool. Great. Would be nice though if the hacking was a tad more believeable. Wait--she pulls up secret records in 2 seconds? Wow! lol
Oh and maybe Clark could go see her sometime--when he *doesn't* need her just to look something up on the internet.
4)Everyone stop acting as if Lana can do no wrong. Have someone call her on her crap. Chloe and Lana should not be friends anymore--why?
5) Chlois
6)No more Clark barging into Lex'x mansion...they are going to be enemies, right?
Oh and on that note--better Lex security.lol
Oh and Lex will finally be evol, right? No sudden backslides?
7)Lana needs a purpose. Something other than being the pass around girl friend. Oh and no witch arcs again please. If you cant integrate her into the storyline in a reasonable manner..then the less screentime the better.
8)Chlois
9)Chloe getting some lovin. Hopefully from Clark--if not--*sigh*--then from a non FOTW, who will stick around for a while and not go evol.
10)No Lori Lemaris..no more unnecessary love interests for Clark.
11)Also no extra characters that come in and take valueable screen time away from the plot at hand..this means no more lame Aquadude's(sorry hated that ep), or Hypno ho's.
12)Clark back in school and working for the DP.
13)NO more lame product placement.
14)Lois, give her a purpose(one that makes sense--COS? huh? okaay) or get rid of her. Right now she is T&A. And that is just sad.
15)Chlois
16)Lois must stop calling Clark *Smallvile*, like its cute or something. She is aware she is living in Smallville now too, right? So its not remotely snarky..its just pathetic.
17)More mythos stories--more Braniac--I dont know much about comics, but these eps are always much more engaging than random filler eps with FOTW's.
18)No more rehashed storylines--like--omg--anoher crazy chick seduces Clark....*yawn
19)Oh and Clark should at least *try* to fly. I know its expensive, but I am sure it can be done in some creative way, for cheap. All his other powers needed honing--this is a big power. One day he is just gonna fly, perfectly? He needs practice.
20) Chlois
21)Whats up with Chloe's mom? Will we see her face?
22)Oh and bring Pete back, for an ep or two!
Oh..and did I mention Chlois? lol
Yeah I am an ambitious wisher..... =)

Painful anvils that we will ALL groan at for Chlois, the kind that even the layman can see a mile away cause though I ADORE the ones that require comic knowledge and have in-depth meaning the average viewer needs to be brought in on the secret.
Chloe and Clark having sexual innuendo and banter and maybe a few interrupted make out sessions. The kind of situation that you just want to scream, “just shag already”.

entire town of Smallville to rise up as a united whole and shout back: "QUIT TALKING TO US!" They just need to quit forcing her cutesy-snarky "banter", period. If it doesn't flow naturally, just forget it. Don't cram it in there like a crowbar in my ear.

I am so sick of hearing this put-down from someone who not only lives in Smallville, but is the *guest* of a Smallville family. When iconic Lois Lane says it in the Supers movies, it's funny; here, it just makes Lois look ridiculous. And, to make it worse, she's now the CoS of a state Senator who *represents* Smallville? Way to show that political savvy, Lois.
I would *love* to hear Clark calling her on this, loud and clear, in the premiere of Season 6.

I bet that's what he's shouting about from the Phantom Zone in Vessel. "It just occurred to me it makes no sense for Lois to call me 'Smallville'!
It makes! No! Sense!"
If the Horrible Red Jacket isn't destroyed in an epic battle between Clark's eyebrows and bangs, then I want him to hurl it into the sun while he's in outer space. He'd probably just find it waiting for him at home, though, lounging in a kitchen chair as he walks inside. "The sun is hot, Clark. Very hot. But not hot enough, apparently. HAHAHAHAH!"
Oh and I want Kahn back for an episode. She can be hiring Perry White to be her assistant editor!
ETA: And the words "secrets" and "lies" can never, ever again be used in the same sentence, unless it's to say "Lana, if you say the words 'secrets and lies', I swear I will lock you in a vault and drop you to the bottom of the Great Kansas Sea."

and yes...to hear Clark tell Lois to "shut the hell up" would make me squeee as loud as another chlark kiss....well ok maybe I would laugh my ass off more than squee...but it would definiely be memorable...

Chlois
Chlark
Clark tells Lois to *shut it*
Shelby gets rabies and bites Lois....sadly, she has to be put down....Lois I mean...Shelby makes it through! Yay Shelby!!

Jun 22, 2006 @ 8:18 pm
I want Shelby to get more screen time in season 6. I love that dog, and he's a hell of a lot more interesting that Lana and Lois.
ETA: And Word to everyone who wants Clark to tell Lois to stop calling him Smallville. It's just silly at this point. Lois is actually more entrenched in Smallville, and quite frankly depicted as more of a smalltown girl, than everyone else on the show. *shakes head* And they wonder why people believe in the Chlois theory.

So, my wishlist for 6.01 "Zod":
1. Lana Lang makes a plan to save everyone in her head. Anyway, we never learn what this plan was, because Lex trips her up and she finally falls from the roof. While she is down there a crowd of 10000000 rioters walks over her. And then some tanks and federal forces. Slooooooowly... She'll survive, of course, but it still would be a pleasant scene to watch.
2. Chloe saves Clark and Lionel saves Martha. If Shelby isn't too busy, he may save Lois. But I don't care much.
3. I want Lionel to put Lex down for what he did in S5. Lex deserves to be punished. And I love Lionel's "He is the son his father could be proud of" referrals to Clark. He also could say something like: "I thought you were a Luthor, not a dumbass".

Ooh...well, my biggest wish is Clark flying or learning and trying a lot and falling out of the loft window and going splat and making huge Clark sized holes everywhere. And maybe sometimes he just starts floating up and can't control it and Chloe has to hold onto him or sit in his lap to keep him grounded. Perhaps Clark falls out of the loft the after he and Chloe have mind blowing sex and he discovers that's how it's done! I mean, since we had to endure the pathetic and not hot and quite disgusting Clana sex well...reward us now!
'Cause if there's gonna be romance it had better be with a girl who really loves him, accepts him and supports him and who is independent and willing to let him save the world on a daily basis. That woman is, of course, Chloe. Afraid of commitment? Why on Earth would he be afraid of committment when he's survived the Pink Princess and Alicia, the girl who drugged and tried to kill him? Clark should fear nothing now! GO for it!
But no other love intersts after that kiss in Vessel. It's past time and they're both interested and there is no valid reasoning for either one to look at anyone else. That would be a very bad idea and makes no sense at all.
And then we get Chlois hints though it's hard to imagine how they could be more obvious than they already are. Chloe then starts going by her middle name of Lois and uses her mom's maiden name of Lane. Clark goes to Met U and works part time at the DP, trying to keep up with his senior partner.
And Lois steps in one of those Clark shaped depressions, stays off her feet for six weeks while the broken ankle heals and decides to rethink her priorities. She mends fences with her dad, the general, starts going by her given first name of Samantha and enters the army where she works hard and earns something for the first time instead of having it given to her by a doting father or people who feel sorry for her. Come to think of it, Lana could use some of that, too.
Oh and bring back Perry somehow. It's time he got promoted and began mentoring Chloe while she mentors Clark.
That about covers it for now.
Wait! I was just reminded of something I had to add. Clark should definitely return from the PZ in a flash of light and land stark naked. Thanks to Veaglarwen for mentioning this and reminding me it's time for Clark to be naked again. I hope Chloe is the one to find him this time. She deserves it!

Agreeing with everything posted here, and adding to the list.
Warning: Anyone sick and tired of hearing rants about THRJ, skip #1.
1) Somebody asks SDK (since he's the closest we'll get to an SV crew member) to tell whoever is responsible for Clark's wardrobe to burn that red jacket and bury the ashes. And to tell AlMiles (or Beeman, or whoever came up with the 'cape' idea), that it's starting to look less like 'The Precursor To The Cape' and more like 'Lana 2.0 - The Horrid Thing That, Despite Numerous Attempts On Its Life, Refuses To Die'. And that that's not a good thing. Just in case.
ETA: Isn't Beeman leaving? He's pretty cool, so I hope he decides to stay, but if he absolutely must leave, can he take the Horrid Jacket along with him? Pretty please?
ETA2: How awesome would a '101 ways To Get Rid Of The Horrid Red Jacket' thread be? Heh, just kidding. (Though, if it were upto me, Cyb's idea of The Jacket perishing tragically (*snort*) in a war between Clark's bangs and eyebrows would be #1 on the list. Too funny.)
2) Lex gets a few more scenes with Lois (just like their only one so far), in which she ticks him off and he gets to call her something that will become her new TWoP nick name. Nois, Lo Lo and Muffin-peddlar are getting a bit old. (I still quite like 'Lo Lo' though, heh.)
3) Since I actually quite like Lois (especially when compared to Lana), I hope she gets to properly tell Lana off. I don't care how and I don't care why. Just that she calls her on her shit. Maybe we can have a Lana/Lois (Lanois? Lona?) cat-fight. Because no way would Lana win that fight. Doesn't Lois have a black belt in martial arts or something? Lana-fu, my ass.
4) I'm sorta liking 'morally ambiguous' Lionel, so no drastic switch back to the MB. Just Magnificent, no Bastard. ore Lionel/Clark scenes, with Lionel helping him out and being the good guy (a la Oracle).
5) No bangs. For anybody. Including Chloe. That half-sweep across the forehead (or whatever), has got to go. I want free, visible foreheads for everybody.
6) Perry at the Daily Planet. Agreed, definitely cool.
7) We're getting Lois, whether or not we like it, so more Chloe/Lois scenes. AM and ED are always adorable together.
8) Happy Clark. No strings attached.
Um, yeah. That's about it. For now ;)

I'd love it if we got a shoutout about THRJ in an episode. Like Chloe after Clark being freed from the PZ saying, "I see that the red jacket survived". Clark: It isn't that bad. Chloe: Oh, yes, it is.

Actually, I don't think we'll ever see the jacket gone and really, I don't mind it at all. It's his cape and until he dons the real thing well...if you squint, he's Superman! Plus, as you've all guessed it's practically invulnerable. I think you'll have to pray for the cape if you want that jacket gone.

Somebody asks SDK (since he's the closest we'll get to an SV crew member) to tell whoever is responsible for Clark's wardrobe to burn that red jacket and bury the ashes. And to tell AlMiles (or Beeman, or whoever came up with the 'cape' idea), that it's starting to look less like 'The Precursor To The Cape' and more like 'Lana 2.0 - The Horrid Thing That, Despite Numerous Attempts On Its Life, Refuses To Die'. And that that's not a good thing. Just in case.
THRJ question was brought up on SDK's blog. I don't recall that a definitive answer was given as to whether or not it will mysteriously vanish, get blown up, distengrate in the Phantom Zone, etc. Probably wouldn't matter anyway since I'm sure Martha has a closet full of them.
Cut to scene:
Clark walks into the house covered in dirt and assorted goop from head to toe.Clark: Mom?
Martha: Yes?
Clark: Um, I kinda lost my jacket.
Martha: The red one? Again?
Clark: Yes.
Martha: What happened this time?
Clark: Some Kryptonians kidnapped Shelby and were holding him for ransom in the Phantom Zone.Apparently, the jacket violated the dress code and they zapped it into oblivion when I went in to rescue him.When I was in the Phantom Zone the first time they were so busy trying to kill me they forgot about the jacket but they didn't forget about it this time.
Martha walks to the hall closet and pulls out another red jacket. Martha walks back to Clark and holds out said jacket.Martha: Don't worry Sweetheart I keep extras in the closet.
Martha smiles and squeezes Clark's shoulder.Clark grins sheepishly and takes the red jacket.
Clark: Thanks Mom. You're the best.
Fade out.

Booberella said in the Futurama topic:
Cyb, two demerit points for not working the news into casual Smallville conversation.
A little late but here it is:
My S6 wishlist includes finding out that Zod came to earth to watch the new episodes of Futurama coming out on Comedy Central. Yes, all new episodes! For real! Zod, like me, is thrilled. However, when he finds out that it'll be two more years, he loses his shit and destroys the earth, starting with the Fox network.

Cyb, merit points restored, and forty extra Delicious Pie Points for the Zod/Lrr parallel.
"BRING ZOD THE ONE YOU CALL LEELA!"
And then when they bring him Lana [on the rooftop of Lexcorp?], he kills her and immediately demands the one eyed purple haired hottie with kung fu skills and a snappy comeback for all occasions.
I will tell you right now that it's my sole wish to see Clark singing "Single Female Cyclops, fighting for her clients! Wearing sexy high-top boots, and being self-reliant!"

11 days later and no one has another wish? Well, I do!
I want Chloe to develop time travelling powers for an episode. I don't care if it's magic or kryptonite or what. But she goes back in time and changes a few things:
Unsafe: Confesses to Lana it was Clark she lost her virginity to. In fact, she lost it to him eight times by repeatedly telling him she lost her memory so they'd have to do it again.
Season 2: Has sex with Clark eight times. She doesn't want to be a liar, you know.
Crusade: Sends a covert email to cousin Lois letting her know she's actually alive, so no need to come to town and avenge her death.
Season 1: Burns all her skirt/pants outfits.

Chloe having a romantic life that is shown on-screen is a must for S6. And I would like a couple of scenes where she mentions either her mom or her dad--I don't want her "my mom's in an insane asylum" storyline dropped, and I really want to know how Gabe's doing.
But I think my greatest wish would be for Lois to tell Lana off, because there is no way these two women would be friends.
Perhaps Lois would overhear Lana saying something mean and bitchy to Chloe.
Now, I would love to see Chloe tell Lana off, but I think she would bit her tongue and walk away rather then start a fight. But Lois wouldn't be able to let Lana's heartlessness go, and would snap into her over-protective big sister mode and tell off the Pink Princess.
I would also love it if Lana tried to use her Lang-Fu, and then Lois would wipe the floor with her.
That would be a thing of beauty:):)

They need to have a clip show. Normally I hate clip shows, but imagine it: Clark, Chloe, Martha and maybe Lionel (in other words, everyone who's in on the Sekrit) are trapped somewhere and to figure a way out, they start going over all their past weird experiences for clues. They'd be able to fill in the blanks and let us know what the characters know. Them discussing the events of Transference would be great. The embarrassment factor would be sky high.

That's an excellent idea, Cyb.
I would really like it if Smallville employed more of the traditional tv show conventions, like the idea of having them all trapped together. Sure they are cliche, but I think it's better to merely repeat wat other shows have done than to constantly repeat the same standard Smallville situations over and over again like they do. After all, these concepts become cliched for a reason. It's because they work, and if you really utilize your characters, than you can never completely tread on ground that other sows have covered simply because the characters on each show are different.

I'd love to see them all trapped together during a storm. Scout. The roads are impassible, they have nowhere to go. Tempers flare. People say things that they've been bottling up for years. Everyone just hashes it out and at the end, there are no mindwhammies or convenient amnesia.
However, I'd like for Lois not to be trapped in the room with them. I couldn't take her "witty" banter in a confined space. In fact, she can go be the brave one who ventures out into the storm and when she comes back, it's all over. She comes into the room, all "did I miss anything?" and everyone's like, "Not a thing." In truth, she missed it all! Clark and Chloe calling Lana on her crap, Lex admitting he only initially became interested in Lana because Clark wanted her, Martha and Lionel admitting their attraction while everyone lets out various "WTF" responses, Shelby admitting he pees on Clark's Horrible Red Jacket on a regular basis...

I'd really enjoy an episode where the whole cast was in one place, interacting with each other. My dream scenario would be to have them all at some sort of benefit, maybe honoring Sen. Martha Kent for her advocacy of some organization. I just like the idea of everyone dressed up, Clark, Lex and the MB all in tuxes (hell, the new cast members too), the ladies all in nice dresses. Tons of tension to be had. Maybe have some bad guys decide to hold up the place and rob all the rich people. How does Clark save the day while not giving himself away? Imagine him & Lex having to work together again (like in Mercy)?
Ah well, I'd have an episode like that if I was writing the show. :/

Agreed. Lois being trapped with them would be bad. What could she possibly have to say to the other characters anyway? She has no history with them, so there's nothing there to hash out.
Something I would like to see is, instead of the traditional loft scene where someone comes to talk to Clark and he's just up there moping, someone coming to talk to Clark and he's outside throwing a all for Shelby. It's not like playing fetch with a dog requires a great deal of mental capacity. Clark can brood and throw at the same time. It would just be so much more real.

I like that. And Shelby can be like, "Asshole, quit throwing the damn ball to Montana!"

LOL You know, there was a scene in Superman Returns where it seems like he deliberately throws the ball that far. I loved the Clark/Superman character in the movie, but that really pissed me off, so if they don't want me to go from really liking Clark a good bit of the time to completely disliking Clark, SV's Clark better play nice. Who's going to want a Superman who toys with a puppy's emotions like that?

A la 'Lexmas'? You know, I really did enjoy seeing most of the cast together in that scene. Everyone was just so - shallow as this might be - pretty and grown up. Then again, I would've enjoyed that scene a lot more if the rest of the episode hadn't been complete crap.
Clark and Chloe calling Lana on her crap, Lex admitting he only initially became interested in Lana because Clark wanted her, Martha and Lionel admitting their attraction while everyone lets out various "WTF" responses, Shelby admitting he pees on Clark's Horrible Red Jacket on a regular basis...
This sooo needs to happen,
Cyb. All of it. In fact, can we make a nice print-out of this thread and send it to TPTB?

Boss, I have some fine Kentucky Bourbon if that will help. God bless, ya.

I liked Chlarkex Scoobying very much in Mercy. I just wish TPTB had employed the idea when they were all friendly. Then, we could have seen more of it. If they do it to any excess in s6, it may seem like just another excuse to have the characters interact, having broken up Clex so early on (Clexana/Aqua/Cyborg, I'm lookin' at you!).
And count me in on lusting for the "trapped in a room together" episode. I know, it's kind of a convention in television, but I always enjoy them. Lord knows this show needs one. But wait! We can't have a show solely with nothing but authentic character revelations and honest discussion of their problems! No Clana barn "Sekriths and Lieths" talks, no lame CGI effects...unthinkable!
Cyb- your clip show idea would explain far too much about just WTF has been happening in s4-5 and thus, can never be. It's also a great idea and therefore, can never be. Yep, I'm bitter today.

That was SO SO good. They should definitely go back for more of this. Perhaps someone can kidnap Lana this time or she could get herself in trouble again and they could join forces to save her. It's the only other option left to unify them now that they've done the parents.
And it must be CHLOE who finally gets into it with Lana. That's been 5 years in the making. We need to see them have a good blow out like in Delete but for real this time. Enough is enough with this bogus one-sided friendship. That would be so satisfying. Heck, I'm sure even the Lana fans would like her to throw some smack for them in Chloe's direction. And that's fine as long as Chloe gets to finally throw smack back to Lana. It could be one of the best scenes on the show ever.
