Cassandra's Prediction

[Brainiac_13]

Back in the day, Cassandra predicted that someone close to Clark would die.

She died, so Clark/the audience assumed she was predicting her own death.

Maybe she wasn't.

Opinions?

whoa, you got a point there just like when she predicted lex's future and he saw it all the way in season 4

[Kryptonite4t4]

yes definitely a VERY good catch

[superman79]

Continuity at it's finest

You would think that Lex would be smart enough to see the road he is taking is the one he fears the most. but his greed for the "truth" has him going insane

[Atrocity]

"Someone close to you will die" Well, someone close to all of us will die eventually.....

[smalltowngal]

The person that was supposed to die was Jonathan when the kid went after him, but instead ended up going after Martha, well she almost died but Clark stopped it from happening, so he changed the outcome of the future.

[kryptonite-proof]

Also, we could use this as a parallel case. Cassandra said someone close to Clark would die, and it turned out to be her. Jor-El says someone Clark loves will die, perhaps this is an indication that it will be him that dies.

That is, assuming the Smallville writers would bother with something like parallelism in their stories.

[DukeOfSteel]

Clark has been able to change the future before. Remember the episode with the kid who could see the future? He saw someone get run over, but clark changed that.
Perhaps he changed the future that cassandra saw.

[superpal1]

Good catch with the continuity. I would like to think the writers remembered this when they wrote this episode. I belive though that the person to die is going to be Jor-el.

[SV'S_immortal_hero]

Its just occured to me that the writers are stupid they forgot that they had jordon say clark lived forever but he didnt as this ep shows us Jor-El had to resurrect him am very disappointed with them with this

[Zach]

Well, technically he didn't die, it was just his mortality that died. Does that make any sense?

[SV'S_immortal_hero]

No it doesnt bcos doomsday has killed supes and thats when he had his powers, so it doesnt matter if he had his powers or not he died and Jor-El resurrected him, Jordon from Season 3 hereafter told clark he didnt have an ending he lived forever well if thats the case why did he die in hidden, the kid was able to see Adam = Lanas bfs death, and guess what Adam was a FOTW altho he was in a lot of eps.

the truth is powered up or powerless clark shouldnt have died in this ep since Jordon predicted he lived forever

[xrayvision]

Well, since Clark was able to change Lana's future by saving that gym teacher, Jor-El could have done the same by taking away Clark's powers.

[SV'S_immortal_hero]

well u could say that about all the other times clarks powers were taken from him jor-el takin clarks powers makes no difference, i mean everytime clark loses his powers he faces death, this was clarks 1st experience of death jordon should have seen it

[metal gear kal-el]

Jordan, now he was a friendly fella.
kickass power as well

[smallvillerox05]

Clark didn't PERMANENTLY die. That would be like Jordan touching the Doc from Back to the Future and not seeing when the Libyans shot him or when Buford Tannen shot him. Because those two deaths weren't permanent.

But Adam did permanently die.

Perhaps Jordan's power not only lets him see when someone permanently dies, but also allows him to know of when someone HAS died in the past, such as with Adam.

As far as Doomsday goes, Smallville doesn't officially recognize any comic or movie as the future of the show. And even so, the death from Doomsday wasn't permanent either.

clark will live on if im not mistaken! is he dead? no well then jordan was rite

[SV'S_immortal_hero]

should it really matter how long a persons dead for if? if it wasnt for the life of a person in the waitin closest to clark given him there lifeforce he wouldnt be alive

[SuperDub2]

as you already said, jordan didnt tell him he wud never die, he said he wud live forever and he will so he was rite!

[OutlawAngel]

Also remember the first time Jordan touched Lana he saw her die as an old lady the 2nd time he saw her die in that fire. The death scenarios are changed as something happens to change them.

That or we can just go back to the idea that this is Smallville, the town consistency forgot.
