They should do all of season 6 showing Clark living in the Phantom Zone. Whatever that is. Is anybody else with him in there?

it sort of seemed too easy. i knew it would happen though, so i took it for what it was.

i just never thought clark would give in like that without a fight.
he should have at least ran away to come up with a plan, and then fight back. he just stared at zod like the BDA that he is. that has to change.

i agree but the chloe kiss didn't shock me as much for his need to pick up the phone in the process of it all. But i did not see clark getting tossed up in the PZ coming at all. I thought that was so funny.

I have never laughed so hard at anything on this show as that whole thing with Lex-Zod and Clark. That dumb face Clark had the whole time when Lex-Zod threw the PZ. I think I hurt myself a lil from all the laughing. He looked so much likea BDA just standing there.

And then when they showed him twirling away in the PZ and all the looks of terror on his face just made me roll on the floor. That was too comical. Really it was way to comical considering I know it wasnt meant to be comical.

But yeah I saw the PZ coming. Let Zod out and put Clark in.

It seems like one of them obvious plot twists yah know? Made sense to me.

My question is how did Zod send him into it like that. It was like "BOOM" and Clark just went flying into it for no apparent reason. That confused me.

OutlawAngel
05-11-2006, 11:09 PM
It seemed like in Arrival the Kryptonians had to be close to it and get sucked it but with Clark it looked like he was a magnet and just was wooshed in. I couldnt tell what was going on at first. As far out as it went I thought for a moment the whole world was about to get sucked into the PZ. I cant see how it pulled him in from so far away.

i was going what the heck when that happened. I did not see it coming at first. But then zod-lex pulled out the pz device and at first when he throw it into the sky i thought is he going to suck the earth into the zone and then clark was pulled in and i was shocked.

mr lane
05-12-2006, 12:44 AM
i totally saw it coming

though i hoped it wouldnt and that my prediction would be wrong

so when it happened i became so frustrated lol

just trying to think of how he'll get out now.

Crispin Glover
05-12-2006, 01:14 AM
It was a nice ending. I think its smart. I just hope it takes him a while to get out since Zod said that Clark would have to live with his decision of not taking over the world forever!

Perassolo
05-12-2006, 01:15 AM
Post #4 of 4

I think Clark made the choice to go in to the Prism Chamber or whatever it's called because it is the only way to save humanity....For him to turn down Brainiac and not to join with Zod was the destined choice for Superman and Superman always make GOOD choices because....well ....uhh....he's Superman?? Duh!. Now as for Zod, Lex and Clark. WellI think... Lex is now Zod as his vessel, Clark (Superman) now is in the Prism fighting Zod. And also I think that Jor-El is Cark also in the same body or something. I also "Think" that ummm....well... maybe Jor-El will rescue Clark because of his choice of not joining with Zod?? I dunno man It's crazy stuff.... but it is so cool!! I love freaking Smallville and the Superman Dynasty!!!

05-12-2006, 01:16 AM
Lol only people that saw that coming are either lying or have been sitting there for hours watching ovr and over all carefull trying to determine every possible outcome. I mean seriosly, him being thrown into the PZ wasn't THAT obvious at all.

Not for the avarege viewer anyway.

Perassolo
05-12-2006, 01:23 AM
Do you think John Snieder will be in Season 6 as Jor-El's spirit for clark??

I think that would be cool to have him as the voice of Jor-El and the hologram thing

It kind of was obvious, i mean what other cliffhanger could there be?

zod escaping the phantom zone and clark going in, it wasnt all that hard to figure out.

the hard part is figuring out how clark will escape the PZ.

Maybe it's just Clarks soul in the Phantom Zone and he'll come back to inhabit Lexod.

OMG WTF! I totally didn't see that coming? And for those who did...any idea how he'll get out!:D:D:D

NeXtToLaStKrYpToNiAn
05-12-2006, 06:45 AM
First, let me say that anyone that says they saw that coming is listening to their hindsight bias a little too much.



Anyway, back to what I wanted to say. Clark is going to be a changed man when he returns. Remember that time works differently in the PZ. That's is why it is so eternal. An hour here is like years there, it's like a hell dimension. I wonder how long they are going to keep him there.

05-12-2006, 08:17 AM
Clark is stuck in the Phantom Zone with those other two Kryptonian baddies right? Unless, each ring sends you into your own pz. Also, Clark(Superman) does not kill. He did in the comic and it drove him crazy. He could not nor would ever kill Lex. Also, he thought that by throwing the knife at Brainiac would also end things. How was he to know that Brainiac counted on him to not kill Lex but to throw the knife at him, thus ushering in Zod.

>.> I feel bad, i wish the writters would think, so... if clark is stuck in the "Phatom ZOne" *cant spell* Does that mean, that krypto the super dog will save him? >._

margroks
05-12-2006, 08:32 AM
I knew it would happen; it was a totally predictable event, especially considering the two Kryptonians already tried to send him there in the first ep of the season. However, it still made for riveting TV and I loved the ep!

BizzaroJerry
05-12-2006, 08:32 AM
Well,

I was truly shocked; I never thought those PZ rings had that sort of range....

Well I think Clark will get out of the zone, well not necessary Clark, but Ka-el (however you spell his name), with a situation this bad, Clark/Ka-el will need all his powers at his disposal, flight, speed, heat vision, the works.

Only a true son of krypton with all his powers as his allies will be able to face the disaster that has befallen earth and Zod at the same time.

It would also sync very well with the no tights, no flights rule as it is Ka-el doing all the saving and perhaps. It would make sense that Chloe would be swept off her feet, literally speaking.

This would all count on the fact that Ka-el would grow some sort of soul this time around.

Well it’s all a dream anyway...

Regards

i was wondering that also... thats the second time clark took a swing at braniac. First when he was about to kill Lionel and now with Lex... Maybe thats how he knew what Clark was gonna do!

DarkWolf
05-12-2006, 11:16 AM
My exact thoughts were....
"UMMM...okay......"
I was not expecting this, nor do I know how he will get out of it.
Maybe the premier of S6 will go in a totally different way and the Martian Manhunter will save save him. (I'm being sarcastic.... at this point in the game all bets are off with me.)

Same here. At first I thought Clark flew into it himself because he was thinking that he could save the earth....but I don't know.

05-12-2006, 12:03 PM
Yep, like a lot of people I saw it coming but enjoyed the episode anyway. How Clark gets out will be a little more difficult to call. I hope Martha and Lion-El will have to work together on this one.

DECKASTYLE
05-12-2006, 12:03 PM
That was the biggest shock to me, in all of the episodes before this, I am still stunned from last night... I mean, WOW... did not see that coming

nroman
05-12-2006, 12:06 PM
in a way it sucks

margroks
05-12-2006, 01:40 PM
I also thought it wouldn't have pulled him in without a push from Zod or his minion, Brainiac because he was right in front of it before when it nearly got him. That remains a bit of a puzzle. Plus, from the description, that Clark makes a sacrifice, I thought he'd willingly go in to prevent Zod from getting out. I am confused about that as well.

dezperado
05-12-2006, 01:46 PM
I did'nt 100% see this coming, absolutely not surprised, but damn, what a cliff hanger! Jor-El channeling through Lionel is obviously gonna be the key to Clarks return.

MBCorp
05-12-2006, 01:47 PM
Yeah....I thought it was going to be a sacrifice too (which would have been a cool Superman move) but it looked like he was just sucked up in it. The whole thing was handled strangly.

Joelito
05-12-2006, 02:42 PM
Well..if he is in the PZ...How the heck is going to be free? Another Vessel? :?

bobser
05-12-2006, 02:46 PM
An interesting take I heard was that Zod was chucking the phantom zone thing at the plane, Clark somehow knew or saw it, and in a moment of fear/desperation was able to fly and sacrifice himself.

NeXtToLaStKrYpToNiAn
05-12-2006, 04:32 PM
No, Zod even said "That's a decision you will have to live with for eternity"...alluding to the fact that he was about to put Clark in the PZ. Remeber, the ring is really small so it may not have been that far out there and with nothing to grab hold to, Clark was done. That plane was no where near Smallville, so he couldn't have been aiming at that.

Zod in my pocket
05-12-2006, 04:43 PM
i knew Lex was going to be Zod for a while, i didn't think of trapping clark in the PZ though. my only request is that they come up with a damn good way to bring clark back, something that doesn't leave me saying "if he could do that then why the hell couldn't Zod and everyone else?" it's not that much too ask..

Daphne
05-12-2006, 04:48 PM
I kind of saw it coming due to spoilers, but how the heck is he going to get out? It's a pretty hard place to exit isn't it?

Shocked as heck when he threw the ring and Clark kinda was sucked into it. After that, I had a feeling where he was going but I never expected the season to end like that. :D

05-12-2006, 06:21 PM
This might sound stupid but yeah didn't braniac say he needed a vessel because zods body was gone well does that mean clarks bodys still in smallville or what will clark have to come back as a vessel?

I totally did not see this coming. I mean. Where did Zod get the Phantom Zone bracelet? He was released from it but does that mean you get to take it with you or what? I thought it was perfect ending. Good job to the writers. Now lets see how crafty Clark is, I want to find out how he gets out of that ****!

supergirl_1095
05-12-2006, 07:34 PM
I sort of did, but, to as how he gets out . . . I read a fan fiction called Destiny in the Chlark forum (i've been reading too much fan fiction lately) so he wa trapped in the P.Z by Zod and he superspeeds in circles to break a black hole and hops into and he's in Metropolis . . .

^I really AM reading too much fan fiction!

05-12-2006, 10:42 PM
his body shouldnt be destroyed and he shouldnt need a vessel. it was specified that zod's body was destroyed, but for clark the case wasnt the same.

when the new season starts, it would be awesome if it kicked off with a fight in the PZ between clark and the two kryptonians he put in there during 'arrival'

The_Promise
05-12-2006, 10:44 PM
Jor-El was the creator of the Phantom Zone therefore he should have some ideas or loopholes to be able to get Clark out of there I should think.

Also what about Chloe? If Chloe survives the mass panic and the mobs she could perhaps somehow get Clark out, she was there when Fine tried to get Zod out the first time, maybe Clark told her how Fine was gonna do it.

Then Chloe will teleport to the FOS, Jor-El will finally understand her worth and why it was a good thing that he let Chloe live in "Arrival", and Chloe will free Clark.

Then Clark will go outside the FOS just in time to save Lois and Martha's plane from crashing into the FOS. You do realize that that is where they were headed don't you?

My guess is from some divine intervention from big daddy Jor-El or maybe Lionel.I doubt Chloe's computer skills will help now,unless she realized what happened,Lionel destroys the
Fine(s),she then breaks into a military mainframe,hijacks a nuclear warhead,aims it in Clarks direction & breaks him free,ala Superman 2.It would be interesting if that actually happened & the shockwave from the rocket reached the Kryptonians from this seasons first episode.I mentioned this happening before only with the rocket from "Hidden" (i think) being what freed them.I really thought they'd do that later in this season,but i guess not.

I did not know that Jor-El created the PZ. Thanks for the info! How could Chloe free Clark from an advanced technological prison? Just curious. Also, how could a plane crashing into the FOS destroy it? The FOS is Kryptonian-advanced technology. :confused:

05-13-2006, 01:08 AM
How painful it must be for Clark to know he can't save humans while being trapped. How each minute can seem like eternity. Even if he's only there an hour, it will have to take a toll on him. I hope Chloe is there when Jor-el gets him out.

I think Clark will want his training when he becomes free.

As for Zod, I think he would be insane at this point.

I, for one, believe it's a good thing that he got trapped in the Phantom Zone. Because he most likely would've have gotten his behind handed to him by Zod anyway.

05-13-2006, 10:03 AM
The other seasons it took one or two episodes to get out of the last season and get on with the season at hand but how is clark getting out of the phanton zone? how will the world go back to the way it was? how will clark defeat the most powerful kryptonian villain if he ever gets out of the phantom zone? what will happen with chloe and clark? will lana ever figure out that its not lex but really zod?

Maybe someone finds the knife that Jor-El gave Clark, assuming it's around the barn somewhere. And they stab Lex, maybe in the stomache, just enough to free Lex from Zod, but not enough to kill Lex. And thus freeing Clark from the Phantom Zone.

I hope Clark is effected by the PZ, I would hate for him to get out and everything be fine by the end of the first episode. I want some permanent mental scaring!!!

Would it be freeing Lex from Zod or Zod from Lex?

If Clark is not effected by his confinement in the PZ, I think that everyone associated with the series should pack up their bags and go home!

It caught me off-guard. As soon as Zod/Lex started pulling off that bracelet and throwing it past Clark, I was thinking, "Waittaminute... how's he gonna' escape that?"

As for the PZ, it will affect Clark. No one can survive that and not be affected.

I know Lex is in the Superman movies but I was still hoping Clark would kill him. Instead he wanted to be stupid and threw the dagger at Fine. CLARK YOU SUCK! You deserve to stay in the Phantom Zone for a while and think about your actions!

This shocked me completely (I understand how some of you could see it coming though)! I never figured they would go there (AlandMiles). What a great way to end the episode though! I was totally screaming at my TV.

WTF I was totally shocked..infact as Zod threw that ring like thingy I thought that was supposed to harm Clark, or maybe strip him of his powers but taking him into the PZ came as shock to me. Clark looked like the same old clumsy farm boy in the PZ. He looked so helpless, I couldn't help it but to laugh.

One thing I knew for sure is that he had been sucked in. The look on his face just before being taken told it all.

Clark is already meantally and emotionally scared. Better hope this doesn't make it any worse. Besides, the PZ was invented as a humane way of punishing criminals without harming or killing them. You're 2-D and will survive indefinitely. The Supergirl movie was ridiculous; you can't walk out of the PZ, you have to escape somehow, be released or in the Superman movie, it was a nuke I think that released them? That was probably not even too realistic but it was much better than going walkabout and finding a backdoor!

Now this thing with Zod's body being destroyed so he has to inhabit someone is a little off the wall, too and not part of comics canon that I recall. If those people in Arrival were Kryptonians why couldn't Zod just use one of them? Were they actually humans compromised by Zod just like Jor-El used the human girl in an attempt to capture Clark in the cave? I believe there are Kryptonians by the names Athyr and whatever the other was in the comics but it could be that in Smallville these people aren't actually alien. We just don't know for sure.

Obviously, it's hard on humans to be inhabited and Zod would want to pick a long term host at some point but why couldn't he inhabit Fine temporarily? I have to think this is all related to the fact that he wants to punish the son of Jor-El in some way by either possessing him or banishing him to the PZ as revenge for both capturing and sentencing him to the PZ and for inventing the PZ to begin with.

I still don't get why Clark was sucked in so easily from such a distance nor why he didn't fight it like he did before when it was a whole lot closer. And while I thought he would get sucked into the PZ I really thought his "sacrifice" would be either a great struggle not to be pulled in, like before, or that he would enter willingly in order to save humanity. What happened muddies the waters. I still think a longer finale would have allowed us to understand more and was very much called for this year.

I didn't see it comming at all. I didn't even think the Phantom Zone would come up in this, and when it did, I thought Lex/Zod would get trapped in it again.

Well,

I was truly shocked; I never thought those PZ rings had that sort of range....

Well I think Clark will get out of the zone, well not necessary Clark, but Ka-el (however you spell his name), with a situation this bad, Clark/Ka-el will need all his powers at his disposal, flight, speed, heat vision, the works.

Only a true son of krypton with all his powers as his allies will be able to face the disaster that has befallen earth and Zod at the same time.

It would also sync very well with the no tights, no flights rule as it is Ka-el doing all the saving and perhaps. It would make sense that Chloe would be swept off her feet, literally speaking.

This would all count on the fact that Ka-el would grow some sort of soul this time around.

Well it’s all a dream anyway...

Regards

Bizzarojerry To build upon this, maybe the writers are going to pull a Fox Mulder and only use welling in small parts f the season and keep it pretty clark free...which would be highly doubtful since Tom Welling plays the Breand-and-Butter character of the series.

Or maybe this is how they write into the script to start Superman's arrival into the series. Then by series end (SV Season 6) end it with the culmination of Clark and Kal-El and have Superman.

I am fairly confident that It will be Jor-El or Lion-El releasing Clark from the PZ, because Jor-El created it. If it can be created it can be defeated.

Zod, Ursa, and Non appeared to have no scarring from being in the PZ for the 20+ years they were in there.

I didn't see it coming UNTIL I saw that ring. When Lexod pulled out the PZ ring I was screaming at the TV, "Nam-Ek and Aethyr tried to use that on you you know what it is RUNNN!"

I'll admit this time it was a lot more suspenseful...but I also got to say I was disappointed because Clark was imprisoned in the Phantom Zone before which was back in season 3 "Covenant"
