She goes to Metropolis U. And their will be stories based at her school. If you go to www.kryptonsite.com they have spoilers of a bunch of upcoming episodes.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.
According to an interview with Now Playing magazine (warning:some coarse language there), Al Gough (executive producer of Smallville) stated in closing that he thought that the series would run seven seasons. The plan is still for the series to end with Clark putting on the suit and of course Lex gone completely to the dark side.
The producers still say there will be no flying (at least this season) and that things will get more complicated for Clark as far as pulling his super-stunts in a crowded city.
Since midway through this season we'll be at the halfway point for the series, I imagine that we'll see Lex start heading more towards evil than good and his relationship with Clark consisting of more conflict than even the illusion of friendship.
Seeing Clark Fly up to that missile was freak'n sweet!!!
I was hoping to see him throw it into the Sun, a la Superman IV Quest for Peace, but it was still awesome!
I wonder who will die in exchange for Clark?
Spoiler:
Based on SPOILERS from Kryptonsite.com on future episodes it looks like everyone Clark loves in still going to be involved on the show. My guess it'll be Jonathon sometime in the future, but who knows.
I can't wait for next week to see the King of the Seven Seas!
Comments relate only to tonight's episode, with speculation stemming from those events:
Spoiler:
Even though we knew he'd be okay, the shooting and the whole sequence from that point until the resurrection was very powerful. I really liked the way Clark looked up and smiled at Lana right before he died. That was poetic. Also, it really sunk in what a loss it would be when Martha and Jonathan were told Clark was dead. It's hard to make it mean something when you know it won't stand, but the writers accomplished it with this episode.
Lionel has an interesting role. Clark will always look at him and wonder if he's dad or not. And, he and Lex now "share" a father, which is kind of weird. Like Clark's ship and the three elements, I guess Lionel and Lex will battle over the new spaceship, only to have Clark come along and actually do something with it.
I guess one more week until Chloe gets out of town. I'm still curious to see how she'll stay a regular presence on the show.
If someone dies, it'll probably be Jonathan. It could only really be him or Chloe, since the others typically stay alive in the Superman mythos. Well, I think Martha may die in some versions, but if they take their lead from the movies, it'll be Jonathan.

Powerful episode tonight,
Spoiler:
seeing Clark shot and die was tough, even though I knew he'd return somehow, but I love the way his return was handled. I also KNEW that Lionel was Jor El when he awoke, I just knew it somehow. I also believe that it will be Jonathan that buy's the farm, probably at the season's climax.
Now, I just got off the phone with a freind of mine and we were talking about tonights ep, he doubts that Clark flew, he thinks that he simply leapt up and caught the missel, I say he flew, but it is open for debate I suppose. I think he flew because Clark disturbed the air around him before leaving the ground, just as Kal El did in season 4 before he flew.
Also, I find it hard to buy that even Clark could have achieved that kind of height and velocity from a stationary position, he would have had to have gotten a running start I think.
What do you think?
"There was that time I wanted to be an astronaut.
I wanted to be the first one to kill somebody on the moon."
I'm pretty sure he was referring to BRAINIAC, not Clark. Jor-el knows whose ship that is and based on an upcoming episode we will see Brainiac going back to his ship. Plus we already know it's his ship.
Pretty damn good episode. Solid acting from Welling. I think he's had some problems playing vulnerable before, but he was very introspective in tonight's episode. So far, I'm pretty happy with the direction the show's going. Giving Clark back his powers may seem a little reboot-ish, but I'll wait to see what direction they go with it. Obviously he had to get his powers back some how.
