And the one dying is.... (SPOILERS!)

[Mikelus]

Some hints from Ausiello (TV Guide) regarding the character dying in 7.16 "Descent":

1. It's in the April 17th episode;

2. it's a character who's been on the show since S1;

3. it's a character who's never been presumed dead before; and,

4. the only thing more shocking than the death itself is the identity of the killer.

Note: Ausiello was exaggerating about the "shocking" identity of the killer, so it's probably who most people think should be.


Lionel is the one (no surprise there), and Lex the executioner.

 

[Billy Batson]

If it's Lionel that dies, my money is on Lex as the killer.
Perhaps I should go with Martha Kent as the killer for shock value.

 

[KALEL114]

Wasn't Lionel presumed dead at the beginning of the season when the dam broke? I can't remember.

 

[Prison Mike]

everyone has been presumed dead in the show except for Clark.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

My money is on Chloe as the killer.

 

[Prison Mike]

I think Shelby will pull the trigger by accident.

 

[KALEL114]

Or Maggie.

 

[Syncos]

maybe Annette will make a guest appearance to be killed off

 

[SuperFerret]

Clark kills himself. Surprise ending and a very special episode all in one.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

It's Lionel. Lex will kill him.

 

[Syncos]

Clark kills himself. Surprise ending and a very special episode all in one.

Bah, Clark's been presumed dead like a million times already.

 

[SpideyVille]

I think Shelby will pull the trigger by accident.

I think it's Lionel with Lex as the killer, which is ironic because this would'nt be shocking, it'd be expected.

 

[Mikelus]

I don't know if Ausiello is just exaggerating about the killer, but to be really shocking, it has to be someone else, Lex is just too obvious. Anyway, we can't trust everything Ausiello says, he has been wrong before.

 

[Prison Mike]

oh yeah, forgot about Hidden. I guess everyone has been presumed dead at least one time on the show.

 

[Prison Mike]

yeah, Lex killing Lionel isn't shocking. It's expected.

 

[SpideyVille]

Maybe Lana has him killed and that's why she disappears for a while.

 

[Mikelus]

It can't be Lana, she's absent in the last five episodes, the person dies in 7.16 "Descent".

 

[Cmill216]

everyone has been presumed dead in the show except for Clark.

"Hidden" anyone?

 

[Zorex]

Haha, there are some really awesome suggestions in this thread. Very interesting and exciting spoiler hints. Signs do point towards Lionel, it feels like...

 

[Prison Mike]

"Hidden" anyone?

I said Hidden a couple of posts above.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

It can't be Lana, she's absent in the last five episodes, the person dies in 7.16 "Descent".

Descent is her last episode. So maybe. It might be Lex, even though it aint really a shocker but this is Mike Auselio we're talking about....

 

[KBX]

Well Lionel is dying, but it could be by the same guy Lex hired to kill Julian....

 

[COMPO]

wait! what if it is Lana who dies. she's been presumed dead. she's been in since season 1

 

[Super_Ludacris]

wait! what if it is Lana who dies. she's been presumed dead. she's been in since season 1

At least try to read the first post properly.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

martha will be the one who is killed. Annette will come back for one last epi. Only to be killed off by Jor El co's he's a prick & has been since day 1. His killing of Martha will make no sense but then that fits nicely with Jor Els continuity on smallville won't it?
