New "Spoilers" From Kelly Sounders

[Cmill216]

Issue #184 of Wizard magazine features an interview with Smallville story editor Kelly Souders with some new hints and spoilers.

Here are some highlights:

- Regarding what's ahead for Lex and Lana: "[Their relationship] will definitely be sustained on one level or another. Lex and Lana both have a few tricks up their sleeves which, when they're revealed, may cause a bit of a rift between them."

- And how Lana will continue to evolve: "Lana was the girl next door for many years and now she's going to be the girl to be reckoned with. She's going to pick up a lot of Lex's traits, which will make her a more challenging person to deal with."

- What's coming for Clark and Lois as far as a romantic future? "It's certainly a long-term thing, as we know it took Clark and Lois forever to admit they liked each other [in the comics]. You will certainly see some more fun moments hinting at what may be underneath."

- Several upcoming threats, such as the "Zoners," were mentioned, but Souders also shared an ominous hint: "He may have some betrayal in his future which could turn rather badly for him."

- And then a final tease: "Clark will be protected by somebody he'd never expect to have on his side."

Wizard #184 is now available at comic book stores and newsstands.

Thoughts?

jk its probaly lionel

I dont think so. At this point it wouldn't be surprising for Lionel to protect (or act like he is) Clark in some way. I'm betting on Lex, and I can see that. Sure, they pretty much hate each other now, but realistically human beings who have had a strong relationship in the past dont completely forget about it just b/c things are bad in the present. Plus, this "protection" might just be physical. Meaning if it's Lex, he could just be preventing Clark from getting killed. I highly doubt he's at the point yet where he wants Clark dead.

 

[Hush]

The person could easily be lana in my opinion on the last spoiler.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Aw, screw Lana

 

[Zorex]

Chloe betrayal? Maybe? They made a sort of big deal, a couple of times in the 5th season, pointing out how Chloe would never reveal Clark's secret, "no matter what," or some such thing.

Unexpected protection...Lana? Lex? I don't think it's Lionel. Lionel's already been on his side. I dunno...Jor-El? Clark started clueing in that maybe Jor-El was on his side after all, but maybe have Jor-El actively protect Clark in a moment of need?

That was in Blank. It always bothered me that she said that when she did in fact betray him to Lionel way back in (someone insert ep name). She got pissed off when she caught him kissing Lana, and it pushed her to accepting Lionel's bribe about an in at the DP in exchange for information on Clark. It doesn't matter that she didn't end up giving him much, or that she eventually changed her mind.. what matters is her woman-scorned reaction that would allow her to betray him. Like Clark loving Lana was a big surprise to her?? Greeeat best friend there.

I know.. people change. And I don't honestly think that Chloe would ever do that again. In fact, I still say that if they off her, she'll definitely die protecting Clark's secret. But it did bug me in Blank when she confirmed to him that she wasn't capable of betraying him.

Unexpected protection...Lana? Lex? I don't think it's Lionel. Lionel's already been on his side. I dunno...Jor-El? Clark started clueing in that maybe Jor-El was on his side after all, but maybe have Jor-El actively protect Clark in a moment of need?

Interesting. But I think they've already established that Jor-El isn't a bad guy after all. Raya filled Clark in on what a good guy Jor-El was, and there was that scene where Jor-El thanked Martha for doing so good by Clark.

"Someone he'd never expect to have on his side"
Well, if it's an enemy then the only true enemies on the show are Lex and Lionel. Lionel may be in the gray zone a bit now.. but once Martha spurns him, those true colors of his will come screaming back into view.

OR, perhaps someone that he doesn't expect could turn out to be.. Lara.
I'd looove that.

 

[tonytr1687]

It's either Lana or Lex. I'm thinking Lex since Lana, despite her scorn for Clark, wouldn't be a surprising candidate in protecting Clark.

 

[Mike_D202]

ok...so someone will betray clark, someone will befriend clark (whome we all thought was against him), lana turns evil, and more flirts between him and lois that will never come to fruitation. alrighty sounds good.

 

[jr24tw]

I think the protector could just be the Martian Manhunter. Heck maybe even Raya. People never stay dead in Smallville for long. But right now I think it is MM.

Betrayal by Chloe would be very interesting. And right now I don't know who else it could be. If Crimson spoilers are right Clark still doesn't think Lionel is a good guy....so him wouldn't be a surprise to Clark.

And why must they drag out the Lexana crap till the end of the season. I wanted to really watch again at some point this season. Urgh.

Why indeed!

Sounds quite Interesting .

 

[Riva]

Seems as if though Lexana will continue, there will be troubled waters ahead. That actually sounds interesting.

I think it'll be Lana, who will be the unexpected person on Clark's side protecting him. With her probably finding out about Clark, it would make sense. That'd be a nice twist.

The betrayel. Well, if it's Lionel, I wouldn't be surprised, since I think at this point, with all of his ambiguity, and return towards more of the dark side these last two eps or so, we're all kinda expecting it to be him. Now if it's Chloe, that could be quite unexpected, but kinda neat also. It has precedent. It could maybe make Chloe an interesting character to me again.

The Clark/Lois stuff is cool. I enjoy the foreshadowing and hints.

I'm not sure the betrayer will be surprising, the spoilers said that the protector will be.

I think the betrayer will probably be Lionel. He knows a lot about Clark and maybe now that Martha has spurned him as a potential lover, he'll give up any pretense at being good.

The unexpected protector would make more sense if it was Lana, I agree. It's not MM since he's already saved Clark once and it sounds like he'll save him again... So him being the "unexpected" protector doesn't make sense and Lex or Lionel doing it doesn't make sense either. They're both clearly gone over to the dark side.

If it was Lana it would be nice, since it would give hope that she is indeed a friend of Clark still despite their acrimonious break up.

 

[avidreader]

"Clark will be protected by somebody he'd never expect to have on his side."

I think the key wording here is that the protector is a surprise to Clark not to us.

Given their current relationship, you would have to suspect Lana and then that will in turn get things back to where they should be. It could be Lex, but then how can they not reconcile any of their differences after that.

As to the tricks up Lana and Lex's sleeves. I'll say one word "pregnancy"

 

[Zorex]

I'd looove that.

I've always thought there was an extreme lack of Lara on the show.

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

Heck maybe even Raya. People never stay dead in Smallville for long.

How many people have actually come back to life? Not many, to my recollection.

I guess you could count Raya, as everyone assumed she was dead after Zod, but...

 

[giggs11uk]

lana is the unexpected protector of clark's secret

lionel betrays clark by not showing him the kryptonian symbols because he is going to use them himself in some way

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

Seems to me that the show really doesn't have that great of a long-term memory.

That sounds quite possible.

Haha...I agree with that.

When Chloe did betray Clark, she didnt know his secret. And point of fact is that she never really betrayed him anyway, she did some research for Lionel, but backed out before she got in too deep with him.

In Blank, she knew a good chunk of what Clark's secret was and by that time her attitude and understanding of him had changed to a level where she knew that she would never betray him.

Nothing was forgotten, its just a matter of interpretation.

I just watched Fever and after listening to Martha's explanation about how the ship released a surge of energy which she believes made it possible for her to become pregnant, I'm wondering if that's how its going to go with Lana. She was present when the black ship threw out a surge of energy that hit her full force.

She had unprotected sex with Lex less then 2 months, thats why shes with child
