View Full Version : Smallville: Who Dies In Episode 100??
Dr. Thong 01-13-2006, 08:11 PM Who do you think's gonna die in the 100th episode??
My first choice is Chloe - she knows the secret and doesn't factor into Clark's later life as Superman or at the Daily Planet.
My Second Choice, Martha Kent - because Jonathan Kent is too obvious due to his heart condition and having almost bought the farm (pun firmly intended) once before.
Céline 01-14-2006, 05:13 PM Martha,I seriously doubt it because she's still there when Clark decides to become superman.She's going to make the suit.Yeah!Blame her for sewing the underwears on tights;)
I think it's going to be Johnathan.
Dr. Thong 01-14-2006, 10:32 PM Martha,I seriously doubt it because she's still there when Clark decides to become superman.She's going to make the suit.Yeah!Blame her for sewing the underwears on tights;)
You're thinking Lois & Clark.:D
Keep in mind that Smallville goes against the grain of traditional Superman continuity - after all, in every other Superman movie or show before this, Clark always met Lois when he started working at the Daily Planet as an adult and after he'd gotten his powers and knowledge of his kryptonian heritage. He was also in the tights and cape before Metropolis as well.
In the pre-1986 movie, TV and comic book continuities, Martha Kent had died by the time Clark came to Metropolis. Apparently, Mrs. Kent is not the only one who can whip up a snazzy outfit for her son.:D

Ironically the current Martha Kent - Annette O' Toole - played Lana Lang in the 1983 movie Superman III. In it, Clark is reunited with Lana Lang at the Smallville high school reunion after well over a decade. Lana remarks that the last time she saw Clark was when he returned home for...his mom's funeral.
Martha dying is not out of the question at all. Neither is Lana or anyone else dying out of the question.
For some reason i think Lana is going to die, but Chloe is also a possibility.
If you notice, Erica Durance now appears in the opening credits before Alison Mack.
Are they trying to tell us something?
;)
robyrob 01-14-2006, 11:10 PM i think it'll be Lionel - it will cause a big change in Lex

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Appearance in the opening credits is negotiated between the actresses' agents/managers and the producers. Some actresses prefer to have their names later in the credits.
In some shows, many big stars are the last ones to appear in credits. For example "And also starring so-and-so as..." I can see why they do that, because that's the last name you see. Joan Collins was always the last person you saw in Dynasty's opening credits back in the '80s.
I just think it's funny that Erica Durance is appearing in roughly half the season's episodes, yet her credit is ahead of Alison Mack's. It is strange...:cool:

Yeah!Annette O'Toole made a great Lana Lang in Superman III
You're right,I'm thinking too much about the superman's mytho as I know it.Everything can happen in that show.But,Martha almost die in a previous episode and she survived.Why would they choose to kill her now?I still think that it's going to be Johnathan.He made a deal with Jor-El.I read that another may die too.I think that it won't be a real person but,this probably means the end of Lana & Clark's relationship or Lex and Clark's friendship.
It can't be Lionel.Remember,it's supposed to be someone close to Clark so,it can be:Lana,Chloé,Johnathan or Martha?
robyrob 01-15-2006, 03:24 PM It can't be Lionel.Remember,it's supposed to be someone close to Clark so,it can be:Lana,Chloé,Johnathan or Martha?
maybe there's a shocking new plot twist in the works that will change that... :heart:
couldn't you just see Lex calling Clark "step-daddy"?
spunkygirl 01-15-2006, 08:32 PM It's Jonathan :nod:
barb1686 01-16-2006, 10:57 AM It's Jonathan :nod:
Just curious Sasette, where'd you hear this? I saw your other post in the other thread saying Lana goes first but then her life is exchanged for Jonathans....I'm curious! lol :lol: I looked at Kyrptonsite.com yesterday and found nothing.
spunkygirl 01-16-2006, 11:06 AM Go to the Kryptonsite message board to the spoiler section ;) Plus on the Kryptonsite news page there are screencaps from a trailer that shows Lana's vehicle getting hit by a school bus ;)
barb1686 01-16-2006, 12:25 PM Go to the Kryptonsite message board to the spoiler section ;) Plus on the Kryptonsite news page there are screencaps from a trailer that shows Lana's vehicle getting hit by a school bus ;)
Oooh Thanks! Wow, that's sad. I'm glad she doesn't die. I love Jonathan, and I'll miss him on the show...but the show doesn't NEED him.
I wonder how they reverse time. :confused: I'm sure Clark doesn't realize he can race around the world and do it... LOL
barb1686 01-16-2006, 04:20 PM Ok, I just gotta say that I went to the forums at Kryptonsite and I looked over the pics and read a lot of the posts...and it's all speculation from rumors/trailer pictures. So anything can happen. It's hard to go by that kind of stuff. Who's to say Lana doesn't die? There's no way of knowing what order the pictures go in...and how do we know that Jonathan isn't just knocked out? It's anybody's game here. Could be Chloe. Everybody's always getting hurt and knocked out on the show, that doesn't mean they die. Trailers are there to get you sucked in, but they usually aren't what they appear to be. ;) I would just hate for a rumor to get started when it's not positive. Not saying it's not true...it's just there's a chance it might not be.
Mr. Television 01-16-2006, 04:59 PM It's Jonathan :nod:
That sucks. I figured it would be him because he died in most of the Superman incarnations but its still sad. :(
spunkygirl 01-16-2006, 05:09 PM www.smallville-hero.com has a trailer up from the 100th episode.
Warning: IT'S VERY SPOILERISH, so if you don't want to be completely spoiled don't download it ;) It's about 3 minutes, and very edge of your seat ;)
John Schneider also let it slip on his website that it was Jonathan. He said this after pics of Clark carrying a very limp Jonathan in the fortress of Solitude.
John retracted that, probably the WB doing damage control.
Dr. Thong 01-17-2006, 10:11 AM I'll believe that someone's dead when I see it on the show and not a minute sooner. Like I said, even if someone does die, this is sci-fi/fantasy and whoever dies could be brought back in some fashion.
On Lois & Clark, Lex Luthor fell to his death in the first season finale, yet returned from the dead and appeared in a few episodes throughout the rest of the series' run.
comedyfreak 01-17-2006, 10:41 AM I voted Lana based on the trailer.
I just think it's funny that Erica Durance is appearing in roughly half the season's episodes, yet her credit is ahead of Alison Mack's. It is strange...:cool:
No doubt the addition of Lois (Erica Durance) has been a major boost to the show, but I don't think she should be in the credits before Alison Mack, considering that Lois is not in every epsiode, as you mentioned.
I still think it's thier subtle way of pushing Chloe out of the spotlight...
Dr. Thong 01-18-2006, 03:10 PM POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!
This week's TV Guide has an article about the 100th episode and shows a picture of Clark and Lana in the Fortress, with Clark bended down on one knee with a ring.
Now, of course, that could be a fantasy sequence...but if it isn't, it means that Clark spilled the beans to Lana about everything. And if Lana knows everything, well...it could be curtains for her!! Just speculation on my part, but the picture does exist!

Yep, he's suppose to tell her his secret. ;) And he really does propose too. But does she say yes? Pictures show the ring on her finger...but I'm sure they don't stay engaged for long.
Here you can see more about the 100th episode in a trailer...

dave insinga 01-20-2006, 05:17 PM they could always find a way to bring him or anyone back from the dead because it is science fiction

But of course. That's a given.:cool:

spunkygirl 01-24-2006, 11:40 AM TV Guide Interview with Al Gough:
TVGuide.com: Enough digression. Regarding the "100th-episode death," how beholden do you and Miles Millar keep yourselves to the Superman movies' mythology when determining characters' fates? Do you feel like you can't kill someone we've already seen alive in the films? Is that a hard-and-fast rule?
Gough: No, not necessarily, to be perfectly honest. We feel like in our show, like the various Superman comics, [the characters] can each sort of exist in their own reality. It's not something that is necessarily synched up to the movie franchise, past or present.
***
TVGuide.com: What were the driving forces in deciding to kill off this character? Was it purely for story-line impact, did budget play into it at all, was it just a desire to shake things up...?
Gough: Again, what we have found doing this show each season is that you need to do something to kind of shake things up. Last year we brought in Lois. This year we knew we had some big pieces to play with — the Fortress of Solitude, Brainiac, Clark and Lana having sex — but then we said, "It's the fifth year of the show and there needs to be a seismic shift in the series." Something happens that really is absolute, and this person won't magically come back to life.
TVGuide.com: That was my next question: How dead is this dead person?
Gough: Oh, they're dead. It's no "Bobby Ewing stepping out of the shower." It's not a dream.
***
TVGuide.com: So, you aren't so insulated to think there aren't a few fans who know for a fact who dies on Jan. 25.
Gough: I'm sure they do. I'm also sure people have strong feelings, and I've seen various speculation about who could die. "Are the characters they created for the series on the chopping block because they aren't in the DC mythology?" All sorts of stuff. Look, we're in the fifth year of the show, I'm just glad people are talking about it! All you can do as a TV show is try to stay relevant and make the best show you can make.
***
Anyway, how did this cast member take the news?
Gough: The cast member took it, actually, with great dignity. I was impressed. While they are sad — notice I'm trying to avoid pronouns — they took it as well as one could expect.

Wish he'd make up his mind, first he said the mythology does play into who dies, and now he doesn't :rolleyes:

Wish he'd make up his mind, first he said the mythology does play into who dies, and now he doesn't :rolleyes:They are annoying me to death.Thursday is two days away.I wish they would just say he was sad or she is sad about his or her's deaths.They are plenty of males and Females we can pick who is dead.
It's really annoying me what they are pulling not.With OC well I had read something saying Caleb's funeral making me know ahead of time Caleb died on The OC.They won't hint us with Smallville and I'm annoyed.I'd still be shocked after the person dies even though I would already know ahead he or she is dead.:)
I think it will be Lana. From the clips they showed last week, it looks like Clark will tell her everything, then she'll die.
Way to go Clark!
;)
Dr. Thong 01-25-2006, 07:07 PM Credits are ALL in alphabetical order.
Tom-Krisitin-Michael, Kristin and Michael are in alphabetical after Tom, then Erica Durance and Allison Mack, the younger actresses in alphabetical, then John Glover, Annette O'Toole, and John Schneider, the older actors in alphabetical.
Credits are usually negotiated between the actors' managers/agents and the producers. Of course, Tom Welling would be first because he's the lead character. And John Schneider probably wanted to be last in the credits because you get that "And Starring as..." next to your name. Joan Collins was last-billed in Dynasty's opening credits and she was its biggest star.
The younger actors are the main characters, so it makes sense for them to be first in the credits, then the veteran actors.
As for killing Lana - I don't know. It's one of the oldest devices of melodrama - Clark finally comes clean about everything, declares his everlasting love by proposing and then - POOF! - Lana's gone! But I think Lana's too popular for that to happen.
We shall see...

We shall see...Yeah she is way too popular to be killed off not to mention one of the top stars of the show after Tom and in my opinion the show won't be the same without her.
:cool:

I like it this way better. I like to be surprised. It makes for better drama.
tv star collector 01-26-2006, 09:28 AM We will know for certain about 12 hours from now.
barb1686 01-26-2006, 12:16 PM Less than 9 hours to go, oooh this is exciting and the same time sad too. lol I just hope the show isn't completely different when this person leaves, but it could make it more interesting too.
Dr. Jazz 01-26-2006, 01:04 PM The on-screen guide on my cable system says "Someone close to Clark dies in a car accident". After seeing that, I think it will either be Chloe or Martha Kent, with an outside chance of it being Lana.
Storywriter 01-26-2006, 01:09 PM The on-screen guide on my cable system says "Someone close to Clark dies in a car accident". After seeing that, I think it will either be Chloe or Martha Kent, with an outside chance of it being Lana.They only seem to be saying one.But if you read at Spoilerfix.com or that kryptosite website it's actually two people who will die tonight One comes back or is not really dead and they are just assuming one person is and the other stay's dead and won't be on the show anymore.
I think they should at least give everyone reading about this all the info and not just half so I decided to give you the rest. :cool:
barb1686 01-27-2006, 12:19 AM Well, what'd everyone think? I'm a little disappointed with how things turned out after time was reversed with Lana...but I guess in order to keep a story going they would have to do that. Besides, Lana's not really suppose to know (but who knows with Smallville). Jonathan's death was so sad...he really will be greatly missed from the show. I feel so bad for Martha and Clark, I think they did a wonderful job with their scenes.
Storywriter 01-27-2006, 12:22 AM I thought it was good and I wasn't disappointed at all.However it will be so different without seeing Mr.Kent around and the empty slot where is name was in the opening credits.:cool:
Mr. Television 01-27-2006, 12:28 AM I thought it was well done but it wasn't much of a surprise. He was always my first choice to get killed off. He will be missed though.
spunkygirl 01-27-2006, 01:11 AM Totally predictable. IMO Lana should have stayed dead and Jonathan should NOT have had to die in her place :cuss:
Sorry I'm just a little ticked that one of the better characters on the show had to be sacrificed for Lana :mad:
Chad Michael Murray 01-27-2006, 01:15 AM I was completely heartbroken, both times. I stay spoiler free, so I had to go through the gut-wrenching perception of death twice. Anyone who watched this show and didn't at LEAST tear up one time during the course of the hour is...well, I don't know what, but I don't believe it.
Dr. Thong 01-27-2006, 10:01 AM I thought it was well done but it wasn't much of a surprise. He was always my first choice to get killed off. He will be missed though.
Too bad Jonathan's not from another planet: He could come back like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
So now we're back to the status quo with Clark and Lana. How exciting.:rolleyes:
spunkygirl 01-27-2006, 10:09 AM Been to several boards and people are bashing this episode big time. They feel JK's death was a waste as well. ohno:
barb1686 01-27-2006, 02:30 PM Well, I'm glad they stuck to the traditional Superman storyline. I wouldn't want it to be otherwise. Jonathan will be missed from the show, but I think it's better to stay within original storyline. I feel that they should've given him more airtime during the episode and paid more respect to his death at the end. But all in all, I loved the episode and yes, it did tear me up quite a bit. :(
spunkygirl 01-27-2006, 02:35 PM Yeah but in current comics Jonathan is alive. They continuously say the comics have no bearing on the show, so if that's so then Jonathan shouldn't have had to die.
I truly would have loved to see them actually grow a backbone for a change. Lana should have stayed dead. This is not Spider-Man, or Batman someone's death shouldn't have to wake him up :cuss:
Rachel3118 01-27-2006, 05:18 PM I liked the episode but it was disapointing. Not because it was bad but just because it was sad. Jonathon will be missed but I think he was the right person to kill off. Lana and Chloe seemed too important to the story. Having Clarke have to go on without his father around will make an intresting story line. He will have to prove he is the person that he is when his father isn't around.
It was also upseting that Lana found out everything and things were going so well, and then she had to go back in time and they broke up. It was almost better with her having known for a short time and then having died. (By the end of the show she better find out for good). Why couldn't he have just told her but not let her go to Lex's house, the second time. I guess it just seemed to risky to him.
I thought the episode was suprising because it seemed like Lana would be the one to die (or stay dead), because everything was going so perfectly for her.
One thing that I didn't like about the episode was that Clarke didn't seem as upset when his dad died. We didn't see him pleading for another chance or anything. Maybe we will see him get more upset in next weeks episode.
Storywriter 01-28-2006, 12:14 AM If it was up to me I wouldn't kill anyone but I'm glad Choloe,Lana and Lois were okay if I was in charge of the show Lana would have never been killed to begin with and neither would Johnathan.
I'm sorry but I think it's ridiculous people are all peeved because Lana didn't stay dead.In my opinion they are acting kinda childish and Silly bashing an episode just because they wanted Lana dead because they feel the need to hate her for no damn reason.It aggrivates me to no end.
People need to stop making such a big deal about it.Anyway I wasn't crying nor did I shed a tear I'm not a crier in General nor am I heartless.I don't cry over things unless there is a need too.Yes it was sad with the death but I don't need to cry to proove it was sad.The death happened time to deal with it and move on and enjoy the rest of the season.:)
spunkygirl 01-28-2006, 12:25 AM Excuse me but I don't think it's silly. Have you watched this show? Almost every freaking thing revolves around Lana Lang.
Jonathan Kent got sacrificed for her. There was no need for Jonathan to die in Lana's place.

Because I'm getting tired of people having go's at me just because my opinion differs from their's.I am not crticizing anyone for their opinions so don't dare crticize me for my entitled opinion.I get here I get it at INDB I'm tired of the Criticism when all I do is come along the boards post my opinions and have fun doing so.:cool:

As does she have her own opinion...you bashed her opinion. Not trying to start a fight, but unless you want a debate, don't call someone else's ideas silly and come back saying she can't say anything about your opinion. That's just hypocritical if you ask me.
Anyways....I personally thought it was too early in Clark's life for any death. Jonathan should've died when he was older, not now.

I'm not debating with anyone here.I post and go and if others what debate with eachother here.They can go ahead. my method is Post my opinion than move on to the next topic at this site or any other..:cool:
SInce I voted for Lana, do I get partial credit, or will Jor-El reverse time and screw me over too?
;)
Dr. Thong 01-29-2006, 02:48 PM SInce I voted for Lana, do I get partial credit, or will Jor-El reverse time and screw me over too?

Check the board tomorrow. If your post isn't here, well...
That is, of course, if you remember to check your post.:)
