Well, I'm the purist who would rather Peter Parker work his way through Betty Brant, Liz Allen and Gwen before even considering Mary Jane, and they've been married since who flung the chunk.

Late to the party but in total agreement. This season finale was awesome. I was giggling like a little girl when the villain said "I'm you. Only a little more bizarre". And this is one of the few times I was proud of myself for staying away from spoilers. I didn't know that Bizarro was going to make an appearance.

This is going to be one loooong summer. I really hope that Chloe makes it.

I guess it'd be silly to have a FrankenSuperman talking in broken, backwards talk, but that was the fun of the character and it's one of the downsides of live-action TV that those kinds of characters have to be mutilated beyond recognition to be acceptable. The Animated Series got him right. I did like when his skin changed at the end.

Here's a thought:

What will this new Bizarro be like if Clark manages to remove the Phantom from this new (and obviously imperfect) clone instead of killing or imprisoning him? Answer: A grey-faced duplicate with the mind of a toddler; vague memories of battling his duplicate; and a desire to be the one, true Clark.

Does that fit better?

The only question would be: What do you do with him, then? You couldn't leave him running around Earth. Perhaps Martian Manhunter will have to take him somewhere.

That scenario makes perfect sense since this new Clark is indeed a new living being but is being driven by the phantom, once the phantom is cast out then the being will still exists but with nothing driving him he would be an empty shell with no memories.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they went that way with him.

Oh, I agree. It makes perfect sense and would create the Bizarro that we all know from the comic books.

But he will have some memories - and pretty disturbing ones. He'll remember being controlled, he'll remember committing evil acts, he'll remember fighting Clark, and he'll have no concept of right and wrong. Imagine a child with the above list as his only set of memories. He may not be evil, but he won't be anyone I'd want to be around. Talk about attachment disorder..........

Well, both Lois and Chloe died in this episode.

Lois has already been resurrected. There's no reason Chloe can't be also.

I think after Mxyzptlk all bets were off.
