Where Do They Go From Here?
So with the Justice League finally revealed, Clark still in love with Lana and vice versa, where can Smallville go from here? There is not much known about the rest of the season and how it will turn out, but one this is for sure…well three things. Clark will live and so will Lex and Lois. These are a given as this show is basically a precursor to the Superman movies. Yes I know I spoiled it if you have no heard about Smallville. Yes Clark is Superman.
There are several ways Smallville can lead on with the Justice League. They can develop each character individually or they can develop all of them together as one big team. Things are starting to fall into place once they introduced the Justice League. More background to the DC Comics has been introduced in the first few episodes this season than the entire series to date. Whichever way they decide, it should make for an interesting second half of the season.
They can continue to develop the Justice League, or they can go more in depth with the Clark character. The Clark character has turned out to be a big pansy when it comes to girls. He has no “game” when he likes a woman. He turns all clumsy and stuttery which really makes no sense because he is Superman. I mean come on, with those powers you have to be good with the ladies.
Whichever they choose it should lead for an interesting rest of season. Now with the Justice League just being formed, do they march right into more seasons of Smallville or do they let it die after this season? There are so many questions to what exactly will happen with Smallville, that I am sure even the creators are having a hard time. Or are the creators merely pawning us into believing there are many different ways to travel when really there is only one distinct path?
I am looking forward to the second half of the season to answer all my questions. I just hope Smallville continues to shock and entertain me as much as it has since day one. I am completely stumped when it comes to figuring out anything about the future of the show. Tune in sometime to enjoy Superman being bad with the ladies, Lex always getting hurt, and Lana still being in love with Clark even though she is married to Lex. All this makes for a fantastic show in which everyone will enjoy while watching.
