First,
dolimir_k, I'm burning the MPG as I type for Vessel I have the other 3 done. Once Vessel is ready I can make the DVD and it can go into the mail tomorrow.
I never expected Clark to carry through with killing Lex. He had to fail that mission. This was a cliffhanger after all and there has to be something for him to do in the Season 6 opener.
I have a theory that "Jor-El" doesn't exist. From everything that's been revealed so far, all of the "Jor-El" information is coming from Zod or Brainiac in a format that would make lull Kal-El's suspicions until he could he could be taken over by Zod. Nothing about "Jor-El" has rung true from the moment Clark opened the ship and read the message inside.
Perhaps when the Season 6 opener arrives and this storyline is wrapped up in the two-parter we'll learn the real fate of Jor-El and Lara. Maybe the real ones will help Clark escape and battle Zod.
Lana did have one thing going for her tonight -- loyalty. She had one thing going against her -- ignorance of the facts. But so did Clark. He knew no more than she did, really. He thought he did, but I believe that he was played as much as Lex was.
I suspect that Martha and Lois are on their way to the Fortress, hostages to Zod. Lois just because she's with Martha. Martha because of Lionel. I'm still not sure that Lionel isn't part of the whole Zod equation. I don't trust Lionel. I never have and I never will.
That kiss between Clark and Chloe! For once Clark seemed to pay attention and put some feeling into it.
And since Clark and Lex seem to be on the outs "onscreen," if Clark and Chloe don't get together next season there is no justice in the world.
That is if Chloe survives the riots.
