Poll:
Who Will Die In Episode #100?
Smallville Executive Producer Alfred Gough has
revealed to TV Guide that Jor-El will be coming
to collect the life of someone who is close to Clark,
a deal made earlier this season. The "reckoning"
(also conveniently the title of the episode) will happen
in episode #12 of the current season, which happens to
also be the series' 100th show. More so, Gough has hinted
that the life force that Jor-El is collecting might not
be the only big character finality in the episode.
The
big question of fans' minds since then has been a resounding
"Who will it be?" The Smallville production
team is being extra careful so we don't find out; we hear
false scripts have even been circulating so there's no
way we can safely know. (Otherwise, we'd just refer you
to the KryptonSite
Spoilers Page
and tell you to just "stay tuned!") We rounded
up a list of the nine most likely candidates... and over
60,000 people told us who they thought might die. Who
won? Here were the top five choices:
 #1.
Jonathan Kent (19707 votes)
33% of the people who participated in this poll thought
that it would be Jonathan Kent who's going to the big
cow pasture in the sky. Why? In the classic Superman movies
as well as "Superman Returns" coming this summer,
Jonathan Kent is always the first of Clark's Earth-bound
parents to go. Plus, it would be pretty dramatic, in the
midst of the whole race for senator. Let's just hope Tom
Wopat comes to the funeral, if he is indeed the one to
go.
 #2.
Chloe Sullivan (15152 votes)
Coming in second place with 25% of the vote is Chloe Sullivan.
This is probably the most controversial choice since Chloe
has quite a fan following, especially online. Lots of
anvils have been thrown at us on the show in recent weeks,
like "I'd die before I gave up your secret,"
which would make one wonder. Chloe also is not in the
grown-up Superman's comic books. Could Chloe be on the
way out, to make way for her cousin to embrace her journalistic
destiny? Again, we don't know, but over 15,000 of you
think it might happen.
 #3.
Lionel Luthor (6301 votes)
He's been a bad guy, a good guy, in jail, out of jail,
long haired, short haired, blind, and possessed to become
"Lion-El." Have all of the story avenues for
Lionel Luthor been exhausted? Jor-El told Clark that someone
close to him will die, but it has been implied that more
than one person might go. And... if Jor-El is still inside
of Lionel someplace, that, too, could leave open the possibility
for Lex's dear father to go bye-bye.
Also
keep in mind that Smallville's writers like to
use parallels between Lex and Clark very often. For both
of them to lose their fathers in the same episode could
make for some serious drama.
Lionel
got 10% of the vote.
 #4.
Lana Lang (6106 votes)
Wishful thinking from fans at Television Without Pity
- or speculation from those who realize that Smallville
may not actually take the exact path of the
comic books? What if Lana was Clark's true love, who died
when he was very young? Would they "go there?"
It has been implied that the "big death"
will be a surprise.
This
could prove a dangerous but dramatic move for the show,
since Kristin Kreuk and her character of Lana have a very
large fan base. Could "Exposed" and "Solitude"
have been a test for how the show would do without Lana
Lang? Or are we just in a state of "Splinter"-like
paranoia? Guess we'll have to see... Lana also ended up
with 10%.
 #5.
None of the above - it's a trick! (3713 votes)
Or, could Smallville be trying to fool us, in a
"someone dies in Hourglass/Who Shot Lionel Luthor?"
kind of way? Maybe the character or characters who die
may be people we just haven't seen in a while on the show,
or just wouldn't think would be potentials for death or
doom. Aunt Nell, Sheriff Ethan, Sheriff Nancy, Domonic
Santori, Gabe Sullivan, General Lane, Lucy Lane, Lucas
Dunleavy-Luthor, Nam-Ek, Aethyr, Shelby, Carrie Castle,
Victoria Hardwick, Martha's dad from "Redux"
who nobody remembers, Chad the Goth - we're looking at
you.
