Oh! I didn't even mean for him to make the jump to Clark being an alien (though that's something I've been pushing for for awhile). I just want him to just mention all his other alien connections.
scout1279
Ah, well that would be cool too, CTUN. It would at least show a glimmer of intelligence that I used to think Lex was capable of.

Out of curiosity, Scry, where did you get "Jerome"? Clark's canonical middle name is Joseph.

Signed,

Someone Not Named Joseph

Actually it can be both.

When the Lexana marriage inevitably ends, I want Lex to really think about what this says about his relationships.

First wife? Hypnotized him and then tried to burn him to death.

Second wife? Drugged him and left him to a watery death.

Third wife? Lana. Perhaps a fate worse than death.

The next time Lex decides to bash Chloe on her Lack of boyfriends I want her to remind him of this. And not so nicely either.

Also...
Note that some sources claim that Kent's middle name is in fact "Jerome", and that he was given this name in honor of creator Jerry Siegel. The name "Jerome" was used in the "Season's Greedings" episode of the television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. It was also featured in several episodes of the 2000s television series Smallville.

I think we should pull a votefortheworst.com and ask for the worst possible scenarios since Goughlar is more likely to do them if they utterly destroy Superman.

Here's my worst scenario: Lana magically turns into a scientific genius and uses Black!K to physically fuse with Clark to create a self-involved hermaphroditic being who believes himherself to be the most beautiful, perfect being on Earth and gives himherself flowers and chocolate in self-admiration who . . . sadly still becomes Superman.

Can we make one of Lana's legs into a gun like that woman in Grindhouse?

Since Goughlar so obviously believes in the school of writing of "Wouldn't it be cool?" how about replacing everybody's head with the head of a rat just because.

Lex, tainted by the pink and devastated by the divorce, moves to Cornwall, England and opens up an old folks home. He stays there, looks after the old people and writes a snarky blog.

Smallville residents tribute to descendent of the towns founder- rename the town Lanaville. Monday is renamed Pinkday where everyone has to wear pink and break up with/divorce their current partner and move in with the nextdoor neighbour one house to the left (keeps the love triangles fresh).

Chloe becomes Lana's PA, Clark retreats to the caves and only comes out now and then to terrorise the residents of Lanaville- they call him the Angst Monster.

Lionel moves in with Martha and becomes a house-husband.
Dread
Lex, devastated by his loss of Clark's 'friendship', puts on a wedding dress and never takes it off.

Eventually he is left in charge of his nephew whom he raises to hurt flannel-clad farmboys.

With the way this season is going, I'm afraid they'd change "leg" to "uterus" in that scenario.

My wish is that they give up even the slightest pretense at "continuity" in this show. Having occasional continuity just makes it more glaringly obvious when they get it wrong. So I think every episode should be mind-whammied, or set in an alternate universe, or be someone's dream. Just give up on trying to reconcile anything in the "real" world. They seem to like writing fake!versions of everyone better anyway.

I disagree- they have shown masterful skills at continuity in this show- every season, every episode, everyone loves Lana- she can do no wrong.

Now that's a feat that is difficult to accomplish, since there must be a great temptation for writers to have at least one character tell her to STFU.

It could be like Aeon Flux - the cartoon, not the movie. Every episode could be a complete trainwreck where everyone dies and it wouldn't matter because they would just start over completely fresh in the next episode.

Heh... I hadn't thought of it that way.

It's sort of like that with Lana anyway! She keeps dying or almost dying and everything's back to normal immediately.

But really, wacky out of continuity episodes would be great! There could be one episode shot entirely from Shelby's POV. The camera shots would be very low, about knee level, with occasional zooms in on crotches and butts. Another episode could be all about Martha's secret life as a leather clad, gun toting, pie baking, mask wearing superhero known only as... The Senator. In another episode, everyone could switch places with no explantion at all! MR could play Clark. TW could play Chloe. And so on.

That just reminded me of that Frasier episode where they showed a conversation from Eddies perspective. It could be...

"blah blah blah blarwah blah .. Lana .. blahwa blah blah blahlawa blarwah blah .. Lana .. blah blah blah .. Lana .."
mobiusklein
1. Have Lana played by Sanjaya and Clark played by Simon Cowell. Simon could roll his eyes and curse when people seem to love Sanjaya even though he sucks.
2. Have Lana played by Tera Patrick, just for the heck of it.
3. Have Martha reveal that her red hair is a wig during a nasty cat fight, become President and declare that she is the real Lex Luthor.

I'd love a walk-on by Jack Nicholson in character as Costello from The Departed. Nothing big. Just walk through a scene and smile.

Anyone wanna do a series finale wishlist? I fear that it may turn into a Chloe-vs-Lois thang, but...

+ Perry White and Jimmy Olsen!
+ "And don't call me chief!"
+ Clark Kent; glasses, three piece suit, the works.
+ Lois Lane; ace reporter at the Daily Planet.
+ Bullpen action with the four main DP characters.
+ I totally want them to use the SR!DP. I love that set.
+ Full on John Williams/Ottman musical score!
+ Clark and Martha visit Jonathan's grave.
+ Chloe (if she's not Lois, IMO no) to be working as an author, or something that has to do with writing.
+ A Clark and Shelby moment.
+ Jor-El and the Fortress, man. One more booming voice speech.
+ Lex Luthor + Death Ray = Made of Win.
+ Mercy Graves! Please? It would make up for the, err, past security.
+ Lana Frickin' Lang to mention she's moving to Wichita.
+ Ideally, I would love for Clark to get into the damn suit, because it's my payoff, but unlikely.
BadToad
I think I'd like a "3 (or whatever...) Years Later..." sort of ending. Clark showing up at the DP, in an ill-fitting suit wearing glasses, interviewing with Perry White (returning guest star, Michael McKean), getting the job. Jimmy and Chloe excitedly waiting at his new desk for him. Lois showing up and saying something snarky. The newsroom explodes with commotion due to some sort of disaster, Clark speeds off (with the camera focusing on Chloe's knowing smile), and we see him running, starting to rip open his shirt with just the tiniest hint of the suit underneath. :)

That would make me happy.
MissIndependent
I've requested this before, but after recently rewatching the Buffy musical episode (which was so amazing), for me it just has to happen on Smallville.

A musical episode. It's a must. Directed and choreographed by Allison Mack. :-P

Oh, and I'm also all for the "Dead Lois" option too heh.
Cyb
I want an episode called "Revelation" where all of Lana's crap from the past comes back to bite her in the ass. All the stuff that they glossed over, ignored, or bizarrely tried to present in a good light--it all comes out. Everyone finds out about it. Just off the top of my head, these things could include, in no particular order...

1. Her two-timing tendencies, starting with her relationships with Whitney and continuing on through Jason and Lex.
2. Her lying to Chloe about who Clark was making out with in Rush, in order to keep her off the playing field.
3. Her co-opting Chloe's "Fever" letter.
4. The cover-up of Genevieve's death.
5. Her deciding to move to another city without telling her boyfriend, after having constantly bitched at him for keeping secrets from her.
6. Almost killing her boyfriend and feeling really romantically close to him while doing it. It is CREEPY AND WRONG.
7. Snooping through Clark's stuff doesn't prove she's trustworthy. It proves the opposite.
8. Her only finding out Clark's secret because she tricked the one friend she's ever had.
9. Her praising of her magnetic molester's honesty is CREEPY AND WRONG.
10. Her flip-flopping opinions regarding experimenting on meteor freaks.

And then when everyone finds out about this stuff, they shun her. Maybe they even all force her to edge of town, pointing disdainfully at her.

A musical episode. It's a must.


That'd be fun. Michael Rosenbaum would probably love it since he likes to perform so much. And Allison is suppose to have a nice voice. I even recall MR saying he could get TW and AM to sing with him sometimes on set, so they might have a really good time with a musical episode.

A bet episode - The Office just had a hilarious one. Seinfeld had a classic bet one as well. Although, finding out who is master of their domain on SV might not work, I think it'd be fun to see Chloe and Clark make a bet with each other which highlights some of their quirks. Like they could bet who could last longer - Chloe going without coffee or Clark being cheerful and not moping or complaining about anything. It's trivial but I would love to see Chloe not doing so well without coffee and Clark becoming shocked how hard it is for him to be cheerful all the time. An abbreviated version of the same idea would be for Clark and Chloe to do their impression of the other one and slightly ding each other for their faults like Jim does impressions of the other people in The Office.

I wish we'd see Lex and Chloe switch bodies. I know it was brought up a million years ago on this thread, but I wanted to bring it up again, because I think that would be side splitting to see the actors portray opposite genders. TW as Dawn was really amusing in Spirit and MR already has experience doing drag.....plus, they could have Clark kiss Lex as Chloe thereby treating both Chlark and Clex shippers. It'd be so twisted I'd die laughing.

Basically, Lex, Clark, and Chloe should be more fun sometimes and being fun doesn't require being the focus of the whole episode. It could just be a little aside. A C-plot to add a little humor to the episode like the mugging scene in Vengeance which was so light and funny in a very serious episode.

I also wish we'd see Lex watching the bondage Chloe video again. Maybe in his bedroom? I'd be amused to think that is the last thing Lex watches before he goes to sleep at night. That be deliciously twisted.

I vote for this! That would be HYSTERICAL!

And with a bet, the loser could be the winner's slave for a week. :-P HEE!

I want to see Lana bite the head off a bat and get rabies shots . .. just because. Or have an angry unicorn try to whack her.
CantThinkUpName
For S7, Lex needs a minion. It's not that I want him to have one but he needs one. I don't want to see Clark with Lionel, Lana, Chloe, Jimmy and Lois while Lex just wanders adrift with no one to talk to. He needs someone. He needs someone evil to hang with.
MsSullivan
I don't know if I've posted this here before, I know I've mentioned it at SDKs, Chloe thread, AM thread and probably every episode thread I posted in...

FIX CHLOE'S HAIR! I'm tired of the bangs, she's not 12 years old anymore, you know?

Season 5 hair was perfect. Why mess with something that wasn't broken?

(on that same note, where are the power suits?)
Massena1
Ms. Sullivan - I agree they desperately need to get rid of those horrible helmety bangs on Chloe. But, people have been saying that all season and they are still around. *sigh*

I reviewed what others have wished for and turns out a lot of the wishes have been fulfilled.

Chloe being revealed as Lois Lane is permanently #1, 2 & 3 on my wish list.

Picturing Chloe/Allison Mack introducing herself to Clark Kent in the Daily Planet saying "I'm Lois, Lois Lane." and I get a big silly grin to my face. Just perfect.

Here are some other good as yet unfulfilled wishes that I wish would be granted as well.

Mercy and Hope.


This has got to be the most popular wish right now. When will they finally get some kickass security for Lex and provide some regular interaction between him and a hot chick who cares for him? I hear the cyber crowds virtually chanting "Mercy. Mercy. Mercy." LOL.

Pete, Gabe, Chloe's mum, Chad the Goth, Bart. Bittleman, Kaaahhhnnnn, Perry and Martha's dad.


*Well, they gave us Moira, at least. I've given up on seeing Gabe again. As a substitution, I'd be okay if they just kill him offscreen so that at least he is no longer a loose end. Maybe Lex's Plan B can be to slaughter all the people close to Chloe in a "Covenant" style master move? If they get rid of Nois permanently at the same time, I would be awestruck by the awesomeness. Allison Mack would tear out my heart with the grief, shock and horror.

Lex speaking in a different language. We got to hear him converse in German once with some businessmen in his living room before Clark interrupted them. I thought it was a pretty neat touch, and I'd like to see more of it.


*Signs of Lex's higher education would be very welcome. Maybe they'll allude to it more.

I want to see all of Lex's ex-wives, girlfriends (& boyfriends?) come popping out of the woodwork, just like they would in a real election. That's right: I want to see Desiree, Helen, the awesome Carrie Castle and the entire Generic Brunette Diamond Earring Brigade.


This is brilliant. I love it when shows do the memory lane bit in a cool way so we see old cast members/guest stars. I had a similar request for Alicia, Bo and Raya to come back and haunt Clark for being such a BDA. Grey's did it with drowned!Meredith and it was a big ratings hit.

Two Words:Bachelor Auction


* Love the idea, but can't decide if Clark alone should be in it, so Lex can bid on him or if both Lex and Clark can be auctioned off so they can have perhaps the silliest competition ever about who garners the highest bid in the auction.

Clark transfers to Met U and cashes in his chips with Perry to get an internship at the Planet. Perry replaces PaKent as mentor figure -- more drinking and less platitudes.


I wish Clark would show more interest in higher education, too. And PERRY, is a permanent fixture on my wishlist.

Would love if there was a scene in the show where someone Clark has saved is pissy and ungrateful towards him. Where's the SV equivalent of the man who sues Mr. Incredible for saving his life (The Incredibles), the police officer who calls Batman a caped freak and wants him arrested (Batman Begins), or the people that distrust mutants (X-Men)?


I said on the "Progeny" thread, that it would be refreshing for Clark and Chloe to have to deal with more generic, banal rudeness from other people. It could set up Clark using his powers in a very trivial, but fun and emotionally satisfying ways. Wouldn't it be cool to be Superman when someone cuts inline or there is bad traffic? Wish-fulfillment stuff like using x-ray vision to peek into the girls' locker room or stack some bullies' cars to get even.

I'd love a Clark VO.


I'd love a Lex VO. Maybe they could do them at the same time and split the narrative of an episode?

I would love to see Clark and Chloe testing his powers; just simple at the beginning of an episode maybe with Clark standing in the middle of the road and Chloe driving up beside him


It would be cool to see them show some interest in testing his limits and thinking about them.

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.


I'm not sure which tv conventions they have left to use?

The Enemy Mine/Characters confined and forced to work together episode? Nemesis.
The Dream episode? Slumber, Scare, Lexmas, Void, Labyrinth, Noir.
The clip show episode? sorta used in Blank.
The holiday episode? Thirst, Lexmas, Rage, Crimson. Which holidays are left? Easter, 4th of July? Those holidays aren't typical tv fare. Although, I guess hitting up the big ones like Christmas and Halloween again could be fun.

OH! I would love to see Lex run into Chloe and Clark at a Christmas tree lot in Season 7. Painful awkwardness. Maybe some mean, bitter retorts. The contrast to Lexmas would be PERFECT.

The Main Character becomes Invisible episode - Static.
The Road Trip Episode - Not yet. I would love to see Chloe and Clark go on a road trip. Maybe they could have car trouble and get a lift from two guys in a Chevy Impala.
The Long Lost Relative Episode - Lucas, Mr. Kent, Moira, Henry Small.
The Bet episode - I would LOVE to see Chloe and Clark make a bet with each other and be sneaky and try to get the other one to lose the way real life best friends would. Alternatively, I would like to see Chloe and Clark do impressions of each other and rib each other a little bit the way Jim Halbert does on The Office.
The prank/practical joke episode - Again, I would love to see Chloe and Clark have fun playing a joke on each other The Office people do. I swear, they don't have enough fun.
The Double/Doppelganger episode - Tina Greer. Brainiac.
The Body Swap/Transference episode - Transference.
The Wedding episode - Heat, Unsafe, Promise.
The Time period episode - Relic, Noir. I don't think they should pull this one again.
The Possession/Mind Whammy episode - Too many times to list.
The Good guys lose jobs to bad guys episode - Lucas Luthor?
The WISH granting episode - X-files, Buffy and Twilight Zone did one. Maybe Martian Manhunter will grant wishes. They might be able to make a fun episode exploring why he doesn't use the power more.
The War Games episode - Computers/Robots go nuts and the good guys have to cut them off before they kill people.
The Musical Episode - Not yet.
The Live episode - I can't see them ever attempting it.
The Dead characters comes back in a dream episode - Void sorta, but I think it would make some awesome episodes if Clark and Lex were haunted by their first wives and their parents. Bring back Helen and Alicia!

The Time Travel episode - Reckoning. Lexmas.
The Ground Hog Day/Time Loop episode - Not yet.
The Everything is wrong but only one person realizes it episode. Spell? Labyrinth.

**Also, in a more general sense, I wish they showed Shelby more.

On a side note, since Henry SMALL, turns out was Lana's father, ancestor of the founders of SMALLville. It's just a SMALL step away from being Lanaville- spooky, and I'm not sure that was just a coincidence!
PhineasPoe
The Road Trip Episode I would love to see Chloe and Clark go on a road trip.



Only if they're going to find the Phantom Zone monster that killed the couple in Patagonia in Nemesis.

Also, I'd like to see Clark give a shit about anyone not in his close circle of family and friends. It bothers me that the future Superman is pretty hit miss when paying attention to problems in other countries, but will drop everything for Lana Lang.
Cyb
With the way everyone's always trying to protect Lana and talking about how they need to be there for her, it comes across like she's a helpless infant. So my wish is for Lex to put that nursery to good use and lock Lana up in it. It's child-proofed, right? That way Clark doesn't have to worry about not being there for her if she sticks her finger in a light socket or gets hit in the head by her rattle. He can spend his time worrying about other things like zoners and soldiers in hotpants.

* A Clockwork Lana- people are injected with the Lanavico Treatment, strapped down and forced to watch videos until they admit that Lana is good and Lana perfect.
* The Lana Files- While the world goes to shit, a superpowered hero and his plucky investigative sidekick only concern themselves with matters that affect Lana
* Lanatourage- The story of a gang who are hangers-on of the prettiest princess that ever did walk the earth. A bald(ing), rich, corporation owner begins to lose his groove because of his relationship with the star.
Cyb
My biggest wish for next season is that Chloe's "power" disappears faster than Lana's witchy tattoo and is never, ever spoken of again.

But since that probably won't happen, I wouldn't mind if they did something anvilicious with the storyline. For example, Clark says he assumes Chloe will abandon journalism because of her powers. Then she looks at him like he's insane, and says something like: "You can be a journalist and have powers, you know." Like I said, it's anvilicious but it can help get Clark thinking in the direction of living a dual life without finding it a burden. Something good can come from it. It would have been better if her powers had been something cool and active and even remotely related to her passion and identity, but in this case I wouldn't mind them twisting around things to arrive at a certain interpretation.

I just do not want anything that ends with the conclusion of: "Well one more weird thing has happened to me in a lifetime of weird things so now I must change my entire lifetime's worth of dreams to accommodate it!"
