La Guardianista, that's brilliant. That's part of my wishlist now. I want to see Clark embrace his inner mopey Brit now.

Have I already wished for a decent storyline for Martha? I have a feeling they exiled her to the Talon so they wouldn't have to write for her, so I'd like to see her quit after she finds out Jonathan is going to run for office against her boss. Perhaps she could go back to the proposed spy work of season 2, infiltrate the Luthor Campaign headquarters, make out with Lionel, and... uh... sabotage the bumper stickers. Or something.
Cosanostra
You see, I fanwank Clark's all round whininess to his genetic Kryptonian Englishness stuck in his farmboy body. It also explains his awkwardness around women, he's from a race that needs beer to have romantic relationships. In the FoS he will recieve his cultural training and will focus his mopiness into making inane complaints about the weather at the start of every conversation he ever has and gain enjoyment from talking about how rubbish mallville/Kansas/house prices/proper football teams/the world is. And he'll try to pacify supervillains using hot beverages. Either that or they fly me or Cosanostra or somebody into an episode to tell him "It's ok, we've been British and 18 too - here's the Smiths back catalogue and some cider, you'll cope".......
Just me, then. 


Clark might be less of an asshat after a drink or two. Or possibly even more of one. I’d love to see him out on the piss in London with Lex.

CLARK: Show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed….gimme a kiss Lexikins, I bloody love you I do.

LEX: Stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.

CLARK: Yeah? Wanna make me?

LEX: Not especially. You’re dribbling.

CLARK: Wooo! Red and white army, red and white army!

LEX: I never figured you for a Sunderland supporter.

CLARK: Who’ss talking about Sunderland? I just like soldiers. Mmmm, soldiers. Let’s go to Buckingham palace and cruise the guards!
SweetiepieEyed
Hell, since we;re asking the impossible, I want a Clex kiss. GODDAMMIT

Hey why stop there, why not make this NC17 and have clex sex. Mmmmmm.
Oh well, at least I have QaF Tonight.
La Guardianista
I bloody love you I do.

Clark, saying that to Lex. In a Welsh accent. Pissed. Everything I've Ever Wanted to See, right there.......
NikkiJ
It's been two years and I still want resolution for Darius and the Sniper from Shattered. Dammit, I will not let this one go!


Aw, Cyb, I haven't been around for a while and this always cracks me up. Wasn't there something in a deleted scene? Or did I imagine that?

La Guardianista, so when we get Lex & Clark in London are they going to Heaven or an indie club?
Cosanostra
I think Lex would take Clark to a private member's club - perhaps Groucho's - and get him drunk on whiskey sours, then take him up to one of the upstairs rooms and...do all kinds of the things on my wishlist.

I want all the writers to pull an "all the characters are trapped in a single room" for an entire episode. No special effects, no scenes that end on unanswered questions, no plothole filled storylines. Just good old fashioned character development and interaction for 45 minutes.

Seconded. I've actually mentioned this "Breakfast Club" scenario a few times bc it would be so different for the show. Give them a little crisis/dilemma to deal with as a group and we could learn a lot about who they are. Lexmas' party scene will have the main cast together for at least one scene, but I'd much rather see them all be in a non-fantasy setting.

On my wish list it clearly states a very intimate venue in the Clapham/Brixton area ;)

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I don't have any of the DVDs. Does anyone know? It always bothered me that after Shattered, characters seemed to forget that Lex had been drugged and set up and acted as if Darius and the Sniper had never existed. I want to see them again, even if they're just a pair of disembodied heads in jars stashed away in Lex's vault.
jayseyfield
I don't watch One Tree Hill but a promo they showed during "Splinter" really caught my eye.

I want something like that on Smallville. Clark in bed with Lana, Lana in bed with Chloe, Clark in bed with Lex. Naked basketball with Chloe.
Cyb
Splinter made me realize that I don't know who knows what, and I want it clarified. There are also a lot of loose ends I want tied up.

Do the Kents know about the Ice Phallus Palace? I assume they don't know about Jerelle's "someone you love will die" thing, but I wish it would be mentioned again just to remind us. Does anyone (besides us the viewers) know that Isobel is gone for good? Clark knows there's a ship somewhere and I want to know if he's wondered about it. Is Martha still working for Lex? How is Lionel supporting himself? Does he work at a coffee shop like Lois or what?

Yeah, I definitely want this. If Dawson's Creek can pull off a Breakfast Club homage (and I did kinda love that episode), I want something similar for Smallville.
Lucy Wiggin
I'll be happy if they can pull off even only Chloe, Clark, Lex and Lana stuck together in the same room.
Cyb
This fits in with my general wish to see Lex believing in what he's doing, that he's doing what's best. But we've been anvilled repeatedly the last couple of episodes about what a dangerous senator Lex would be. I want to see Lex giving voice to what a bad senator Jonathan would be. I want to see that from Lex's point of view, Jonathan is a secretive, lying, hypocrite who takes with one hand and slaps with the other, and that Lex thinks that kind of leadership would be bad for voters.
Massena1

Yes. That would be good enough for me, too. Just stick them somewhere with some crazy gunmen or a fotw and let us see them all react to the threat and work on their issues and use teamwork to get out of the mess. It could lead to some interesting dynamics. Who assumes the leadership role? Who agrees with whose suggestions? And it would provide an easy set up for some Chlex teamwork which would be great to see.

Seriously, I may have to tune in to One Tree Hill for the first time. That promo was wild!
CantThinkUpName
Campaign ads. I want to see them on the Smallville website, I want to see them done seriously. It won't push the story forward in anyway but it would be a fun little extra for the online community.

If not TPTB, any of you music video creators care to try to hand at this?

I want to see Lex giving voice to what a bad senator Jonathan would be.
But if we did then that would further show Lex as evil speaking up against the bastion of morality Jonathan Kent. Jonathan's allowed to badmouth Lex because Lex is evil. I don't get what's so difficult to understand.
Hallie
Kinda unpopular opinion warning...at the beginning, then I mended it, really!


I do want some Lexana...stop throwing me stuff!!!!!! but only if Lex is eeeeeevil and she really falls for him, so he really hurts her and drives her mad, then dumps her badly so she´s sooo desperate (having him and losing him must be tough) that she kills herself.


Yep, I want her dead but I want to rejoyce (sp?) myself seeing her suffer!!!! because we all suffer her just more than enough!

And if it´s Jonathan the one who dies...an entire episode of Clark and Martha mourning and their friends dealing with Clark´s grief...wait! hell! just rip off Buffy´s The Body episode!
MusexMoirai
I want the writers to let Clark be the better man.

In the show, he's often in the right about what he says, even when he makes accusations at Lex. But his way of going about it isn't the best. I don't want Clark to be defensive, rigid, judgemental, or hostile. That's all the worst qualities about Superman. I want Clark to be compassionate, empathic, and forgiving to the point of detriment. And not only to the good guys, but also to the baddies. I want him to be like Barney the Purple Dinosaur, full of love for the entire world to the point of annoyance. I want to see evil people do bad things to him and try their best to crush his spirit, but for him never to give up thinking that they can be redeemed. I want Woobie!Clark, damnit.

I do appreciate what they've given us already. They've shown us numerous times that Clark is a kind, decent person: Clark trying to be Lex's friend even post-CoCK, forgiving Lana for all her witchy transgressions and believing her to be a good person still, forging a stronger friendship with Chloe from the aftermath of the Chlionel fiasco, his "humanity is good" speech in "Splinter," among numerous other examples. But I want more.

Smallville's Clark is already courageous, self-sacrificing, trusting, and reliable. But he can also be self-righteous at times. When you're superpowerful and on the side of the angels, it's easy to be righteous. It's much harder to be gracious.
yamahakneedragr
I want to see friggin' Batman! We have seen the Flash, Aquaman and many references to the JLA and even some quotes from The Dark Knight Returns comics. Can't I get a young Bruce Wayne rolling into town and have a sort of boy-billionare rumble with Lex? Can he find out about Clark while snooping around LuthorCorp? One can dream.
Cyb
I want to see Chloe in a scene with Lionel. None of this offscreen email trading crap. I want them in the same room and I don't want the past to be forgotten. I want distrust and verbal judo and Lionel's barely concealed attraction to her. I mean, it was creepy but weirdly hot in Transformation. He's obviously fascinated with her. How many young women have beaten him at his own game before? He should seek her out.
Shadowknight
I don't want to see Batman, but I wouldn't mind seeing another Gothamite who comes from a rich family who's incredibly screwed up. Floyd Lawton, aka. Deadshot. They could probably write an interesting backstory between the Lawtons and the Luthors, Floyd has an... interesting history with his parents, especially considering how his father was paralyzed and how his brother died, so you'd have an equally vicious, maybe more so, mirror to Lionel and Lex's relationship. And you could have a crime committed somehow that Clark and Chloe knows about, but the Lawtons buy their way out of it, or use some political influence. Maybe show that when they go up against billionares, they AREN'T always going to be tolerant of all Clark's accusations, and Lex won't/can't always protect Clark from his bumbling into big time affairs, and that throwing someone 30ft isn't always take care of things, and that maybe, in the future, he should concentrate in INVESTIGATING to win the day (he and Chloe would have to fail in this scenario, for this lesson to be learned). This would hopefully push him into the direction of "investigative reporter", instead of merely "future farm hand for life".

My real point is that it's getting ridiculos the number of "name" characters that have being showing up in Smallville (though to be fair, Bart is only Kid Flash, he's never been THE Flash like Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, or Wally West, so that was deceptive advertising there). Anyway, there can be more minor/obscure characters used that won't strain credibility of not knowing Clark=Superman in the future, and they can provide potentially rich and interesting stories with their backstories. Given how much I loved the portrayal of the Scarecrow in Batman Begins, I wouldn't mind seeing a young Dr. Crane if they write him with the movie's characterization taken into account.
dippychik
I want to see:

Clark actually realising there is life beyond the pink and seeing Chloe for the great friend she is.

A little more parental involvement for Clark.

Definitely agreeing with Cyb bout the Chloe Lionel scenes. Both JG and AM really shine in scenes together. Also just want to hear him say Ms Sullivan in that creepy, inapprpriate way of his.

Lana sucking at something (that isn't blood)

And finally, in my own little dream world Lex and Chloe getting together and taking over the world.
jayseyfield
I want to see Clark's love of Chloe breaks him free from evil that is Lana. Kind of like Darth Vader and the Emperor in Return of the Jedi
AStarling
Thirding the Chloe/Lionel. I really want a proper true Chlionel scene. Not Lionark (or was it Clarkionel?) and Chloe but JG. Saying the kind of inappropriate things he's said in the past (like "we can make history together") and purring her name. And maybe vague threats. Aw, we haven't seen those two together in aaaages :(

Heh heh, yes!
MartaDolores
I want to see Lionel run his hand down Chloe's back, stopping just short of her ass, like he did in Exodus.
mobiusklein
It's sick but I want to see Lana beat the overliving snot out of Martha. It's payback for all the time that Martha's ever pimped this critter out.
simply
I want to see Clark learn how to fly. In LnC, he learned at 18, so it's about the right time. I want to see him in the loft, trying to float up and down from his "fortress", with Chloe and his parents standing guard. As far as I know, we've never seen Clark learn how to fly in any incarnation of the Superman story (although I'm not as familiar with the comics), so it'd be nice to see.
MusexMoirai
I want to see two characters fall in love over a period of time. Not starting out obsessed or with a massive crush or already having romantic angst without being in a relationship. Two characters getting to know one another, getting to adapt to each other, and then realizing that they're in love. With all the awkward moments and not-quite first dates and all that schmoopy stuff.

And I do realize that the two characters that come closest to this are Chloe and Clark. Who are probably never going to be together as a couple.

Or, alternately, I just want the characters to learn about each other on a personal level. Clark and Lana, despite being in a relationship, don't seem to know each other very well. So don't Clark and Lex, even though they were supposedly best friends.
jayseyfield
I want to see Metallo!

A indestructible cyborg with a Kryptonite power source in his chest would be an awesome villian in Smallville.
Cyb
My wishes seem to be coming true, but only halfway. So I'd like to restate that when I wish for a Chlionel scene, I am also wishing for them to acknowledge the past in some way. Seriously, I'll go find a shooting star to wish on if I have to.
Cosanostra
I’d love an episode with Bizarro Clark….where Chloe points out that the BDA isn’t vastly superior to his Bizarro counterpart.

CHLOE: You know, your methods? Really not that different.

CLARK: That’s not fair!

BIZZARO CLARK: Bad Chloe insult me. Bizarro smash!

CLARK: Hey! *Clark smashes Bizarro upside the head*

CHLOE: [grins] Q E D, baby.
Cyb
They haven't dealt with the Clana sex issue since Clark got his powers back, have they? All Lana says in Thirst is that she misses being with Clark, which could be a statement about sex or just a comment on living 3 hours apart. Not that I'm rooting for more Clana scenes, but if they're not doing it anymore, I want an onscreen discussion about it. If I had to put up with post-coital Clana, then my wish is to be rewarded with an awkward and embarassing discussion about why they're not doing it anymore. I want to see the shit piling up as Clark struggles to dig himself out! "Er... I'm writing a term paper about abstinence!"
AStarling
People who are MIA who I'd like to see (again):
Pete, Gabe, Chloe's mum, Chad the Goth, Bart.

ETA: Also Bittleman, Kaaahhhnnnn, Karen, Perry and Martha's dad.
monsterzero
I want to see the show renamed Metropolis, and have the bulk of the action moved to Vancouv...I mean Metropolis. You can keep the Kents and most of the Smallville sets, but I never want to see Smallville Medical Center again!

Great list. It would be sweet to see these people again or in the case of Chloe's mom - for the first time!
La Guardianista
I agree with Cyb; we should have a Clana discussion about why they're not at it anymore. It can't have been so terrible, can it? (on second thoughts).
Am I the only one who thinks it's realistic to have a Bo Kent scene in which he forces Clark to sign a pledge? "Over my dead body!" The HAHAs of hopefulness ensue.
beebs
I'm with Cyb on the Clana talk.

After the final scene in Hidden the lack of a talk about what the hell is going on with them is more frustrating. I thought that they were facing up to Clark's lies in that scene. Chloe basically tells him he has to tell Lana what's going on. But he has done nothing. For weeks (months?). We don't even know if they're still having sex.

Please bring on the Clana lack of sex/(crappiness of their) relationship talk!
MusexMoirai
Lex speaking in a different language. We got to hear him converse in German (I think) once with some businessmen in his living room before Clark interupted them. I thought it was a pretty neat touch, in any case, that businessman Lex would know various languages and I'd like to see more of it. Though I don't think it'll happen, since he's concentrating more on politics now.
Pips D
I want:

Enrique.

Really, would it kill AlMiles just to have Lex on the phone talking to one of his minions and call him Enrique? Just once? It would be an awesome shoutout. He's become Lex's Alfred in fandom! I heart Enrique.
Trevacious Guy
Really, would it kill AlMiles just to have Lex on the phone talking to one of his minions and call him Enrique?

It's way more pleasing to the ears than a name like Griff.

(Makes me start thinking of the Tannens, from the Back To The Future saga... Surely, Lex wouldn't hire one of them.)
SweetiepieEyed
I'm with Cyb on the Clana talk.


I agree too. I have just been over to DTS and wanted to know what the Clana fans thought about this seasons Clana. They are not pleased with it. Clana fans are not pleased now that thier ship of chioce is together. So you know that something is wrong.

After last night's excellent VM, I really want Kyle Gallner to return as Bart Allen to "Smallville" this season. He has really improved as an actor and [shallow]gotten really adorkable[/shallow] and now, I'm anxious to see him return to flirt with Chloe and bring her tulips. At least if he returned I'd say there was a 60% chance that we'd finally see someone show some romantic interest in the fun, vivacious, sexy Chloe Sullivan this season.
Pips D
Massena, ITA! And Meaver 4evah! ;) Seriously, Kyle is fantastic ([shallow]and so, so cute[/shallow]). Ahem. I wish AlMiles had decided to do a Flash (Impulse?) series instead of going with Baywatchville. I agree that Chlart has a lot of potential. AlMiles, we want Chlart!

And another wish, a little sappy but what the hell:

I also want someone to love Lex, drakness and all. Someone who doesn't want to kill him. Is that too much to ask? I mean, no one loves Lex... It's so depressing. :[

eta
Re: Griff Tannen. Especially after the BTTF movies I have no idea why anybody in the world would name their poor child Griff (apologies if any of you TWoPpers are Griffs...Griff is such a beautiful name... errr...)
CantThinkUpName
Pips it was Biff in Back to the Future. Griff might be short for Griffin so the parents might just really like "Party of 5" or "Family Guy."

And yes, I too am liking young Flash on VM.
Trevacious Guy
it was Biff in Back to the Future

He had a Son named Griff who was trying to whack Marty in 2015. Hee -- Maybe his bionic implants were manufactured by LexCorp...?

The talk of Kyle Gallner (whose return as Bart Allen I would also love to see) here and the general anticipation of Lexmas has got me thinking about An Echolls Family Christmas. So here's what I'd like to see in Lexmas:

Clark and Lex in matching Christmas boxers and either Clark or Lex singing the Heat Miser song. I think Clark would be better though, since he could do some more of his scary bad dancing to go along with it. Maybe Lex can do the Snoopy dance.

*dies* Why then, this would be the merriest Christmas of all! I want confiding!Clex in the Lexmas dream. I also want another Bo/MB throwdown ala Legacy and I want it to be over Mionel!

As the "new" media continues to gain ground on the "old" it's time to shift away from the old Superman as reporter paradigm and embrace modern times.

And with that in mind here's my SV wishlist.

Chloe, growing ever more frustrated with DP editors stonewalling her "tabloid" journalism quits to form the highly successful and lucrative "Sullivan-Lane" blog with her cousin which they run together out of the apartment above the Talon. Chloe supplies first hand accounts of Superman's heroics and Lois digs up Lex's little rotten acorns.

Clark never joins the DP. Instead he relies on the The Smoking Gun for crime fighting leads and The Drudge Report for impending natural disasters.

Meanwhile following her husband's fatal heart attack Martha Kent marries Lionel and together they build a culinary empire based on "MamaKent's" brand frozen pie's. My What a catch phrase: "Superman loves 'em, you should too." We later learn that Lionel has secretly added Kryptonite based artificial flavoring to Martha's original recipe, accounting for it's "out of this world" flavor and unpredictable side effects.
