After watching Smallville.
Wow, I just got done watching the 100th episode of Smallville. I expected the one that died to die, but the way that it was done, well, it was a great episode. If you still haven't seen it, and don't want to know what happens, Don't Keep Reading.
DANGER, Spoilers Ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I warned you. The beginning of the episode, Clark takes Lana to the Fortress, tells her about his powers, and asks her to marry him. After a while, she says yes. All happy. But after a meeting with Lex, Lana, being chased by Lex, gets by a bus, and dies. Clark loses Lana. But Jor-El gives him a second chance, but Clark can't go back this time. Clark goes back, doesn't show Lana, and they break up. He relives the day. After that all happens, Jonathan gets into a fight with Lionel. After the fight, he looks like he has a heart attack, and dies in front of Martha and Clark. The funeral shows Clark in the state I think we would all be in, given the situation, utterly lost.
How do you live with something like that? Knowing that choosing to save your loved one kills your father. Or if sparing your father would kill your loved one. I couldn't live with that. I couldn't make that choice. I love Mary with all of my heart, but at the expense of my fathers life, I don't know. How do you make that choice? And you can't take the opinion of dying yourself, that isn't an option, it's one or the other. I know, it's all a show, and Superman doesn't really exist. But that choice does exist. Maybe not to that level, but it does exist. How do you deal with being in the position of the love of your life, and the love of a parent. Both are just important. Who would you choose?
