Old Rumors

This section of KryptonSite is about those things that are not quite spoilers, but purely speculation on our part or from the fans. Unconfirmed spoilers and speculation can show up here. If you want something a bit more solid, and want to know for sure what is likely to come up, visit the K-Site spoilers page.

Here are a few items for you. Take what you wish from them. And please let us know if you like the rumors page or if you'd prefer that we just include unconfirmed rumors on the spoilers page.

ADDED 8-17-04; UPDATED 8-26-04
Ben Jelen as The Flash?

The New York Post reports that singer Ben Jelen ("Come On") is in talks with producers of Smallville about taking the role of Bart Allen/The Flash. No confirmation, yet, but in case you're curious, a picture of Ben is to the right of this article.

Interesting trivia: Ben's song "Setting of the Sun" was played in the Smallville episode "Obsession."

UPDATE AGAIN: Seems we jumped the gun on this one... though we thought we had confirmation, it seems Ben Jelen is NOT playing Bart Allen after all. Our apologies for the misinformation! The Flash is instead played by Kyle Gallner.

ADDED 8-15-04; UPDATED 9-12-04
Christopher Reeve in Vancouver?

We've just received this rumor report. Not sure if we can confirm it, but, here goes:

"Yesterday, August 14th. A very very reliable source of mine saw Christopher Reeve and Tom Welling having lunch in Vancouver at a French restaurant. It was my friend's Aunt who lives in Vancouver and she is 100% sure it was them because she was in the restaurant, and also its not hard to spot Chris Reeve. I speculate that he was in vancouver for shooting scenes in Crusade."

We doubt anyone from Smallville will speak up and tell us if this tipster was right, but it does add credence to our earlier rumor that Dr. Swann may be appearing in Season 4's first two episodes.

UPDATE: Christopher Reeve is not in the season premiere, so this report is unlikely.

ADDED 8-10-04; UPDATED 8-11-04
Another DC Super Hero Comes To Smallville?

This was the original post, although it's since been confirmed:

We're hearing rumblings that The Flash might be appearing on Smallville at some point this season, and in the WB tradition, "younger, edgier, and more street smart." The Flash appearance could be as early as the fifth episode of Season Four.

The Flash has appeared on TV before. He had his own series on CBS in 1990, appeared in a failed Justice League live-action TV pilot (also for CBS) in 1997, and was most recently developed by producer Todd Komarnicki for a WB series that never surfaced (click for more information). Interesting Flash trivia: The Flash also appears in the current Justice League animated series, and he is voiced by none other than "Lex" himself, Michael Rosenbaum.

This news has been CONFIRMED! Look on the Spoilers page for Episode #4-5!

Dr. Swann Returns Sooner Than We Think?
Flying. Lois Lane. The true fate of Chloe Sullivan. The introduction of Jason Teague. There sounds like there's a lot to look forward to in Smallville season premiere, "Crusade"... but could it be that one major element of the episode hasn't been spoiled?

Here's one for the Rumorville file: Dr. Swann, the character played by Christopher Reeve in "Rosetta" and "Legacy," will be involved with the first episode of Season Four. Possibly the first two. But, we don't know this one for sure, as we haven't seen any solid proof, but don't be surprised if it happens...

Don't be surprised if his scenes involve his "Superman III" co-star Annette O'Toole. After all, Jeph Loeb did say in this interview that the two may interact "sooner than you think!"

Just don't kill us if it doesn't happen. But if it does, you know where you read it first... (and anyone who wants to confirm or deny, you know where to find us).

UPDATE: Not true. Reeve is not in the Season 4 premiere; instead, his emissary, Bridgette Crosby, played by Margot Kidder is seen. Visit the spoilers page for more.

Clark Flies... Or Not?
Here's some speculation for you for the Smallville season premiere, "Crusade"...

Apparently there's a scene where Clark flies alongside a plane Lex Luthor is travelling in. But, here's our speculation: What if this person flying around isn't "Clark" after all? Maybe someone who looks like Clark, sounds like Clark... but isn't Clark? A clone, or something made by Jor-El, perhaps? A convenient way to get past "no flights," surely...

Discuss on the KryptonSite forum!

UPDATE: Garth Ancier was heard to have said at Wednesday's press junkets that yes, Tom Welling will fly, but "it will be Kal-El, which is Bad Clark." Whatever that means. Aren't Kal-El and Clark one and the same? Or could our theory be true?

UPDATE #2: "Kryppy" has this opposing theory: "It sounds to me like Clark will wear Red Kryptonite again and fly. But then when he takes the Red Kryptonite off, he'll forget how to fly. So flying is something Clark can only do while he's angry (for now, at least). I think when Ancier said "Kal-el," he meant Kal."

UPDATE #3: A new article at Sci-Fi Wire seems to clear it up. "The first episode is all about visualizing the internal fight between Clark and Kal-El. Clark Kent represents his Earth-bound persona, the kid who was brought up by the Kents. And Kal-El represents the person that Jor-El wants him to be. This personifies that," Miles Millar said at the WB's All-Star Summer Party. (To read the full article click here!) (Thanks JB for that link!)

"Lois Lane" Revealed!
"J" pointed us to a message board posting where someone said their friend Erica had been cast in the role of Lois Lane for four episodes of Smallville. This "Erica" has been on Andromeda and Stargate, which caused us to do a little research, and matching the photo provided with a person named "Erica," we came up with an actress named "Erica Durance." The shot to your left is a screencapture from one of her previous television appearances (which also include Tru Calling).

UPDATE: This news has now been CONFIRMED! Erica Durance is Lois Lane!

"Jason Teague" Cast?
Someone has e-mailed with an e-mail that at least *sounds* real to tell us that the role of Jason Teague has been filled, and that he will be played by actor Jensen Ackles. Ackles' past credits include Days of our Lives, Dark Angel, and Dawson's Creek. He was also to star in FOX's aborted Still Life series. At this moment we do not have any official confirmation or denial of this; so, if it's not true, please do not get upset! If anyone official is reading and can confirm or deny, please send us some e-mail.

UPDATE: Several Jensen Ackles fan sites, including his official newsletter, are also reporting this news. It's starting to look very legit...

UPDATE #2: This news has been CONFIRMED as true by the Hollywood Reporter! See our Jensen Ackles cast page!

Another "New Character" Rumor...
One of the same tipsters who told us about "Jason Teague" yesterday also mentioned that The Powers That Be are casting the role of Lois Lane, for a "four-episode arc where she looks into the death of Chloe."

Now, it sounds like Allison Mack is coming back next season, so "the death of Chloe" might be speaking a bit soon... either way, no confirmation on this one yet (Anyone who wants to confirm, please do!) We can't confirm this yet, so if that's not the case, don't kill us, kay?

UPDATE: Visit this page for an update.

A New Character For Season Four?
Someone's e-mailed us with a rumor that Lana will be meeting a new boy when she is in Paris, and the new guy will be coming back to Smallville when she returns. The tipster claims the character is currently being cast, and will be a recurring, ongoing role.

Both our tipster and someone at a forum at Television Without Pity have said the name of the character is "Jason Teague," and that he's a "21 year old American college junior." This news has since been CONFIRMED - see the Spoilers page!

Lots of "Ezra Small" Code Cracking!
Eric has figured out this week's code and has some things to offer about previous weeks' codes:

We start with:

Someone jokingly said 11-15 would be N-S-I-T-E. But most likely, 11-14 are N-I-T-E. To spell out "Blue Kryptonite" (Bizarro's weakness if I remember Saturday morning Superfriends cartoons correctly!).

I'm GUESSING that it is some sort of scrambled message. In light of the reference to Washington DC in the previous code, you could rearrange these letters as "Presidt" (President) with "almouv" left over or "Presidtal" (Presidential) with "mouv" (Move???) left over (a reference to Lex possibly running for President???). You can also rearrange the letters to read "Volume" "Rapid" with "st" left over or "ID" "Volume" "Traps". I'll leave it to someone smarter and more creative than I to decipher this one.

Someone is going to need to decipher the code for the "Ezra Small's Legacy: One More Time" message posted on March 3. I don't have the time to go through that one again. I figured it out at one point and didn't save the key. I would imagine that there is another message hidden inside.

To sum up, this is what we have:

"Blue Kryptonite"
"Another UK Disk"
"I'm Flying to Washington DC"
Whatever the unscrambled letters give us from Feb. 19.
Whatever the final code from March 3 gives us.
"What Episode" - Cardshark - April 21 - From 4/14 Ezra Small Riddle
"When Played" - Cardshark - April 21 - From 4/21 Ezra Small Riddle
"Jor-El's Dying Act"

Again, sorry if this is redundant. I haven't seen this posted anywhere (except for Cardshark's postings mentioned above).

It almost sounds like "What Episode, When Played" may be a clue to a DVD Easter Egg or something, perhaps for the Season 2 DVD. Also thanks to SuperKal-El for also sending an analysis.

Ezra Small: April 21, 2004
"Cardshark" has e-mailed us with the key and solution to this week's Ezra Small prophecies...

The solution for this weeks text puzzle as well as the key and hidden messages for this week and last week's puzzle.

As usual, we have the jumbled mess of text:
ryp gjop rywr d fpwoi, ryp fpqq rywr d ciju. iptpo ryjsayr d ujsfn uwir rj qfju njui. bsqr ljesq ji efjsnq di hfsp qcdpq. whjtp wff ryp owdi, ryp qsi qydipq.

Turning into something readable:
The more that I learn, the less that I know. Never thought I would want to slow down. Just focus on clouds in blue skies. Above all the rain, the sun shines.

Last week's code:
w=a
h=b
a=c
t=d
e=e
p=f
s=h
o=i
b=k
c=l
f=m
g=n
j=o
m=r
n=s
q=t
r=u
u=v
v=w
y=y
The bolded area is what is important. This seems to spell out "What episode".

This weeks code:
w=a
h=b
e=c
n=d
p=e
l=f
a=g
y=h
d=i
b=j
c=k
f=l
g=m
i=n
j=o
o=r
q=s
r=t
s=u
t=v
u=w

Again, going down to the letter 'i' of the cipher itself (this is rearranged based on the cipher side of the code, not the standard alphabet chart) we seem to have more of the message. This part says "when played". It seems that there will be more to this message in the coming parts.

Your codebreaker,
Cardshark

UPDATED: Sean Astin To Direct Upcoming Episode?
An icon of one of the best movies of the 1980's who also appeared in the most recent Best Picture film might be coming to Smallville soon.

Sean Astin, who played "Mikey" in the film classic "The Goonies" and Sam in "Lord of the Rings," was said to have been heard at a recent convention saying he'll be directing an episode of Smallville soon.

UPDATE: We have learned that Astin has met with the folks at Smallville and could possibly be directing an episode in Season 4. The directors' schedule for next season, of course, is not yet set... but it's always a possibility! Hey, we're all for the idea... and beyond that, getting directed by "Mikey" would probably geek out a certain bald cast member, in a good way. We'll keep you updated.

Another Strange Hairstyle Change Sighting...
Allison Mack was seen in Vancouver by a fan this week, with a somewhat different look. What, may you ask? Allison was not blonde, but rather a BRUNETTE. And it wasn't just a case of looking alike, as "Allison" signed an autograph.

Could Chloe be going undercover in Smallville's future? Will the name "Lois Lane" be involved? Or are they going all Patty and Cathy on us? Stay tuned... for all we know this new look could have nothing to do with the show.

This Week's Ezra Small (4/14)
This week's Ezra Small prophecy (from the Smallville Ledger) has been translated by Violet. Here's the decoding, and the key:

You don’t know my destiny. You can’t see what I can see. This is how it has to be. No more us and no more we. You can’t hear yourself think with their voices inside your head.

code = Q=t g=n y=y j=o r=u m=r t=d b=k o=I v=w f=m e=e n=s a=c w=a s=h h=b c=l p=f u=v

Lionel Goes Bald?
This one would have to go in the rumor category until we can get any confirmation... but a tipster e-mailed us today saying that they saw John Glover recently... with his head shaved! Could the feds be shorning Lionel's mane when they take him in to prison? It sounds quite possible, and it would be an ironic twist for the Magnificent You Know What. Or, perhaps the shaved head has to do with treatments Lionel is getting for his rare liver condition. However, at this point we do not have confirmation on this, which is why it's in the rumor category for now. (In other words, if this isn't for real, don't kill us. Please?) This rumor has since been CONFIRMED

Season 3 DVD Coming In September?
We were hearing rumors that the Season 3 Smallville DVD set will be out in September, just in time for the fourth season premiere. This release could get a new fan totally caught up and would be perfect promotion for when the show's fourth season begins. However, a representative from Warner Brothers said at the Home Theater Forum that it is indeed in the works, but specifically that it will NOT be out in time for Season 4. We, of course, don't know what the real deal is.

The first season is already available on DVD, with Season 2 coming May 25.

Ezra Small's Legacy: One More Time... (March 3)
The Smallville Ledger's latest Ezra Small prophecy is posted, and cunning linguist Shirkie has the translation (Dr. Walden would be proud!):

A star was waiting for you to notice it. A wave rolls towards you out of the distant past. I've been wanting to do that since the day I met you. Only through communication will people live in peace. Can you hear me twenty-four hours from now? You're trying to find your place in the world. Nobody can fault you for that. We're going to open you up and find out how that brain of yours works. With everything so out of whack right now, it somehow makes me feel more grounded just to see you. Fathers often want futures that their sons reject. That struggle's as old as the human race. Maybe this is fate's way of telling us we shouldn't have had a big wedding. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. I'm afraid I've been delusional a lot longer than three months. But I think I have a pretty clear picture of things now. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several. I came looking for you... And I found the proof. When will you learn that obsession is just another word for passion? I believe in the extraordinary and the possibilities that it holds, but I prefer to follow my own path. Thanks, but I have to learn to stand on my own two feet. Apparently, you're part canine, because we don't hear anything. Are you going to stay cloistered on the family farm forever? All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood. More answers are close to home, where height creates the pressure that sustains life. I'm waiting.

She sent the letter code, but unfortunately it was incomplete. The translation's the important part anyway. Thanks Shirkie!

Perry White Returning This Season?
Several online interviews with Executive Producer Al Gough in recent weeks implied that the character of Perry White, played by Michael McKean, may be returning later this season, or early in Season 4.

Mark your calendars for Season Four, because our sources are saying he's not in the planbook for this year. Whether or not there will be a conflict with him doing "Hairspray" on Broadway, we don't know. (That begins in May)

Ezra Small Again! (Feb. 19)
The Smallville Ledger's latest Ezra Small prophecy is posted, and June, Shirkie, and Justin Timberlake (presumably not the Justin Timberlake) have been the first to e-mail in their translations. Here's the translation for the latest:

00=A 07= P
01=D 08=R
02=E 09=S
03=I 10=T
04=L 11=U
05=M 12=V
06=O


When I look at these walls, I feel like I could solve the mysteries of the universe. Surgery during a siege. HAZMAT said we can't touch that field for six months. if I'm not mistaken, your government doesn't have much use for women who've consorted with the devils of Western capitalism.

All my father ever told me was, "don't get caught. don't cause a scandal." that's not love, that's public relations.

The closer you stand to the fire, the more likely you are to get burnt. It's like for the first time in my life, everything fits...like we really are destined to be together.

There's nothing like a son's love for his father. After all, you only get one. I'm not going to lose my family. Not without a fight. And if it's going to take another miricle, then that's what I'm going to find. There might be some journalism genes hiding behind those baby blues after all.

In the fight between you and the world, back the world. I wasn't sure how our relationship was going to work out, but after a rocky start, I finally know that you love me. Come to the river, I'll race you. I want everything to be like before. You both think you're a superman who can do everything alone, but you're not anymore.

WARDROBE MALFUNCTION. What some may label obsession, I consider merely the requisite deterimnation. I always thought my life was so mapped out for me, but maybe we have more control over the future than we think. KansCom. You're more like me than you know, and you'll do whatever it takes to survive.

Ezra Small Predictions: Feb. 5
The Smallville Ledger's latest Ezra Small prophecy is posted, and this time "Shirkie" (aka Chloe's twin) decoded it. Here's this week's:

Sometimes he's totally there, and you think you know everything about him. Then there's this part of him that's... Nobody's that innocent when they're that arrested. What were you trying to do, Dad, fly? I've done pretty well without a father this long. I don't know why I thought I needed one now. I'm a scientist. I find curiosity to be an admirable trait. If I had the answers to half the "whys" in this town, I'd have a bestseller on my hands. Where do you think you are, Walton Mountain? You were in love with that disgusting mutant, weren't you? You may be hearing, but you're not listening. Pop quiz, hotshot. You're different than the rest of us. Your moral choices are only going to become more complicated in the years ahead. To the boy next door who became so much more. I thought I was getting used to seeing pretty weird things around here. I'm looking for a little insight into the female psyche. I have to live with my mistakes. Don't let them become yours. Yeah, it's not a gift certificate. Coincidence is an explanation used by fools and liars. Midwest tel. Even heroes have the right to dream. Humanity isn't all about biology.

A = 53; C = 71; D = 67; F = 19; G = 37; H = 61; I = 11; L = 23; M = 17; N = 31; O = 43; S = 59; T = 41; W = 47; Y = 29; ' = 13.

Also thanks to SVChronic and Serenity, who also correctly cracked the code!

Ezra Small Predictions: Jan. 29
The Smallville Ledger's latest Ezra Small prophecy is posted, and "The Palm Tree Man" has it figured out. Here's what he had to say:

Red flowers will bloom in the blue-white snow. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Every town has it's share of tall tales. I've had my eye on you just like you've had your eye on me. Say a word and I'll kill them. And you know I will. If she thinks I'm just going to stand by while she destroys my family, she's wrong. Unless "Ms. Lang" has grown several inches and developed an affinity for plaid, this would be a good time for you to pipe down. I'm an alien, not a cartoon. Fire surrounds her, burning memories in an abandoned home. Looking for answers, I assume. 'Twixt truth and madness lies but a sliver of a strum. Strike of blood. Looks like we can rule out paranoia. Someone is officially trying to kill me. She was beautiful. I wanted to run to her but I couldn't. Let's just say that when I'm finished showing the world what I can do, I'll have everything I ever wanted. I'll be ready when my feet touch ground, wherever I come down, and if the folks will have me, then they'll have me. Winter dance tonight. Money-hungry thugs are like stray dogs. You feed them once, they're at your back door every night asking for more. Maybe you'd like to take me outside and hit me with your car. Wish it into the cornfield. She could be anywhere. Something tells me you don't know your friend as well as you think you do.

Ezra Small Is Back!
The Smallville Ledger has posted a new Ezra Small prophecy, much like the ones from last season, which may be the clues to solving some of the show's mysteries!

Several great KryptonSite readers mailed in their theories and codes. Here's some of what we got in our inbox this morning:

"This is my only chance for survival. It's not written in any language known to man. I know about the lab at Metron. It's been a long time, but I never forget a face. You can say what you mean, but it won’t change a thing--I'm sick of the secrets. Multicolored light speeding past, washing time and reality away--you don't have an end. Clark--It's happening! I don't like riddles, doctor. One of the cars will break loose--I won't see you alive again. They made me into someone no one can love, not even you! Live among them, not above them. Boiling, bubbling, it turns ink-black. The Cage will shut. You won't find the answer by looking to the stars--It's a journey you take by looking inside yourself. trust me, there's no future in crime fighting unless you enjoy being sued. They will cry tears of blood. I should load my conscience with grave sins against the sacred spirit of lucidity. Hey, Atticus, you may want to change your shirt. According to the Greeks, he was greater in strength and stature than any other mortal. Any idea how an only child can make like the Olsen twins? Bye, Gene. May want to rethink the frames, too--I can barely recognize you behind those things. Do you need something, Loreen? Memory seeps from my veins--let me be empty and weightless. As he watches, her eyes close peacefully, her beauty undimmed. Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders? No, not now...not yet... I believe you’re going to save more people in this world than you’ll ever know. She could be anyone. Brainwave."

Gian points out that there's a quote from Byron Moore in the bunch... and a quote from Dr. Swann, who returns in "Legacy."

We also may want to note the code for figuring it out: 1-B, 2-L, 3-U, 4-E, 5-K, 6-R, 7-Y, 8-P, 9-T, and 10-O. (are 11-15 N-S-I-T-E? kidding!)

Thanks to David F., MLL, Gian, Serenity, DE1916, and I Luv Tom Welling for figuring this out! (And if you responded after this article was typed and don't see your name up there, you're still appreciated too!)

We learned in the Season 2 episode "Accelerate" that Lionel Luthor was doing experimentation with cloning. But could the seeds of this have been planted much, much sooner?

Think back to first season, "Nicodemus." Dr. Hamilton had been hired by Lex Luthor to study the effects of the meteor rocks. What does he do to revive the long-dead Nicodemus flower? He cloned it. This could also explain the perfect Jude Royce lookalike the week before.

Could that have been Lionel Luthor's Level Three experiment? Maybe being affected by whatever Lionel was using with the process had a negative effect on folks such as Earl Jenkins, and caused their bodies to degenerate.

Thoughts? Feel free to post on the KryptonSite message board...

This Week With Ezra Small... 5/21
New prophecies are now up at the Smallville Ledger website! E-mail us and tell us if you can figure out what's there! Here are this week's translations...

From Tory, figuring out the code:

It's a multipart code.

First step is that it's morse code. b=blip or dot, f=full or dash. Each ! is the separator between letters and each !! is the separator between words.

Once you've switched from morse code, it's reverse-alphabetical. I.e. A=Z, B=Y, etc...

Then, the entire code saying is written in reverse. As such, here is the translation:

"Answers will elude warrior angels sorrow betrayal is genetic unlock the secrets his last sunset its protecting itself crystal will grow for our future actions have consequences get hamilton documents i feel minty sam wants sons city of tomorrow seven ages end diamond k ring flaming crows feet to the strongest rift not healed bravo october charlie shout to boards enjoy your summer go play outside."

Hrm. Next, Joe has the individual "poems" figured out... possibly:

In the fifth month at brightest light
The son chooses neither father
He chooses a third fate

Clark chose to defy Jor-El's commands, and he doesn't tell Jonathan Kent that he is going to destroy the spaceship. He chooses neither father. He chooses to destroy the ship (the third fate) He destroys the spaceship at 12 Noon (the brightest light) in the fifth month (May). The third fate could also mean Clark's choice to wear the Red Kryptonite ring.

When Black Friday comes
He will dig himself a hole
Stake his claim, change his name

no clue...maybe referring to Clark making a hole by choosing to destroy the ship...this leads him to leave town, accept his destiny, and I'm assuming take on the name of Kal-El (he did say to Lana "The Clark Kent you knew is a lie")

Named for his mother's blood
But not born of her womb
He will be the only one

Clark's to blame for Martha's injuries and loss of the baby. Obviously, he's not her natural born son. He will be the only son Jonathan and Martha Kent will ever have.

He who knows when he can fight
And when he cannot
Will be victorious

Basically, those who pick their battles wisely will be triumphant. A reference to Lex and Lionel's battles? or Lex and Clark's?

His memory, his will, his promise
Our hopes, our dreams
Your duty

no idea...probably a reference to Clark....Jor-El's memories, wills and promises, and the hopes and dreams of the Kryptonian people will be forced upon Clark...it is his duty to take his place, according to the Voice.

And so the end game commences
Move, countermove, rise, fall
The pawn will strike the final blow

Helen told Lex that she was tired of being a "pawn" in the power struggle between Lex and Lionel. There is obviously something going on between Helen and Lionel. And when Lex wakes up (after drinking the drugged champagne), he is the only one in the jet as it crashes into the water. It was all a plan that Helen and Lionel set up to destroy Lex.

At last their paths converge
They can see the crossroads
But they cannot avoid a casualty

Clark and Lana. They are finally together and see themselves happy with each other. Either way they choose, though, they will lose a friend in Chloe, who's betrayed.

Eightfold survivor of the cosmos
Unlocks language and mysteries
Delivers, rejuvenates, kills

I'm thinking the Spaceship. A survivor of the cosmos, it unlocks the Kryptonian Language and answers some of Clark's questions about himself. It delivers Clark to the planet Earth. It rejuvenates both Clark (when locked in the basement with Lana's necklace) and Martha (causing her to become pregnant) and it kills Martha's baby. It's interesting to note that this prophecy is somewhat also made in the first part of the Ledger series...."Eightfold survivor of the millennia/Spins destruction and mayhem/Eats, molts, dies"...

The mark of your ancestors
Shall brand you forever
You cannot fight it

The Mark of Clark's ancestors is branded onto Clark the first time he tries to defy the ship's orders. The voice basically tells Clark that he cannot fight his destiny.

Two born as one
They divide three friends
The second will return

I think this is a reference to the Second Season episode "Dichotic", where Ian could reproduce himself to date Chloe and Lana at the same time and fighting Clark when they think he is jealous. "The Second will return" though I don't know.

Fate
Inevitable but always surprising
Don't try to deny it

Exactly what Chloe says to Clark when she confronts him about him and Lana being together.

As it was in the beginning
So shall it be in the end
Their lives turned upside down

I'm not sure if this means this, but when the meteor shower hit in 1989, the Kents were traveling in thier truck, which was flipped over and Clark saved them. After the storm cellar was destroyed, the same thing happened. Both times afterwards, something happened to the Kents...in the beginning (gaining a son, Clark) and in the end (losing a child, the baby)...both times their lives were turned upside down. (I'm probably wrong though!)

The lofty spires beckon
To the lost soul
Caught between two worlds

In the final shot of the finale, we see Clark riding towards Metropolis. The lofty spires are the city buildings, the lost soul is Clark, who is caught between his decisions and his destiny. He is also literally caught between two worlds, being Earth and Krypton.

She does not understand about the ring
All she knows is that unleashing one's heart
Is a perilous thing to do

I think this means Chloe. Clark said that he knew that she had "one of those red Kryptonite rings around the Torch somewhere", meaning she didn't truly understand the red rock's powers. She knows that telling people how she feels will only get her hurt, since she did that with Clark and it ended up destroying their relationship.

Possessing great patience and strength
He will nonetheless surrender to grief
And spurn his only progeny

Jonathan, who has always been patient, supportive and strong, suffers a great blow by losing his only birth child. He turns his back on Clark, the only son he'll ever have, in the hospital, causing Clark, who felt like an alien to his father for the first time, to leave

Some past revelations from the Ledger were also made clear in tonight's episode too:

Part 1:
The divine wrath overtakes the great prince
A short while before he will marry
Both supporters and credit will suddenly diminish

References to Lex stealing Clark's blood, which he did shortly before his wedding to Helen? Supporters and credit will diminish....Clark doesn't show for the wedding, the Kents leave in the middle of the wedding, and Helen isn't what she seems anymore. Plus, what was in that envelope that Lionel has?

Part 5:
You don't look
Because you don't want to see
All will be revealed

This is what Lionel says to Chloe when she decides to take him up on his offer to research Clark.

Finally, this is one that I don't think was revealed, but interesting to note anyway:

On 122112
When Sol enters the dark rift
The sacred tree will consume all

According to Archeological accounts, The Mayan Calendar ends on December, 21, 2012. This is supposedly the end of the world. (It's also the date in which Aliens are supposed to colonize the planet Earth...that is, if you followed The X-Files!)

This Week With Ezra Small... 5/14
New prophecies are now up at the Smallville Ledger website! E-mail us and tell us if you can figure out anything we haven't posted so far... here are some interpretations:

"JoeyBags" sends us these interpretations from Part Five...

The illustrated men
Move through thin air
And thick walls

Refers to the Season One episode "Kinetic" where Smallville High jocks with Kryptonite-laced tattoos can walk through walls.

It soars and gleams
Steel and glass monument
To greed and excess

LuthorCorp Towers in Metropolis?

My descendent will fight for justice
Fail in marriage but succeed in family
Change a young future

Obviously Henry Small, who is a lawyer, and whose marriage is ending (as his wife told Lana)....he succeeds in family through Lana, whose future was changed by the revealation that Louis(?) Lang was not her natural father.

Bolts will pierce them both
And both will be illuminated
But only one will emerge enlightened

Clark and Dr. Walden...both have had incidents in the caves where they were "pierced" by lights coming from the octogon shape in the wall and both have been able to decipher the Kryptonian Language after the incidents (or in Walden's case, after he woke up). There's also a double meaning here, based on "Calling", where Walden attacks Clark...Clark is pierced by Walden's beam from his hand, and uses his heat vision to pierce Walden to let him go. Both is illuminated when the gas tank blows up, but only Clark survives, therefore becoming the only one able to read and decipher the symbols. Clark emerges enlightened.

You were all I wanted
All my dreams
Have fallen down

It sounds like Clark and Lana aren't meant to be, as we know. These words are also lyrics in the first verse of Remy Zero's "Save Me", which is of course the theme song of the show.

A prince wishing to keep his state
Is very often forced
To do evil

Lex has made desperate choices already (such as bugging his father's office and last night, stealing Clark's blood, among other things) and will do so in the future to keep his company or his life above water (sorry for the pun, knowing what the WB has leaked about the cliffhanger!)

Here's one that Joey didn't get: In silver and black
He lives a dream
The last for his father--and for him

This is most likely referring to Whitney wearing the Metropolis Sharks uniform in "Reaper" to impress his dying father.

"WillBall" has seemed to crack the code part, as well....

u w x y z b r a v o c t e h l i d f g j k m n p q s
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

where the u's translate to a's, etc.

the passage reads:

chupacabra mapinguari kikiyaon drang yaquaru selkie rondor denebian slime devil mokele mbembe popo bawa gazanga diprotodon snagriff species alh shaihulud it is time storms not over last sons quest truth and madness ears are everywhere time to leave future vice president naman no man black zero lives lsd ord mkultra leave nothing unturned the big apricot reelect raoul bloodworth become the truck you must return i will choose intruders pay heed papers hold answers come to me break on through you will obey lonely battle maiden belay fleeting fame banish bitter fortune healing the rift you cannot escape

A lot of the later stuff in this week's code is pretty self-explanatory. "The Big Apricot" is of course Metropolis. "Become the truck" was once told to Whitney in "Kinetic." Wasn't "Black Zero" an alternate universe version of Superboy in the "Hyper-Tension" comic book storyline, but it was also the name of "the terrorist organization that planted a doomsday bomb in the center of Krypton to protest the use of clones in medical procedures i.e. placing clones in cold storage so body parts could be harvested for the original donor as needed (at least I think that was their cause). This is of course the bomb that became active centuries later and caused Krypton to explode." (Thanks to Michael Haney for that!)

Will wrote back a few hours later, figuring out the first part of the code:

"I have found out that "CHUPACABRA MAPINGUARI KIKIYAON DRANG YAQUARU SELKIE RONDOR DENEBIAN SLIME DEVIL MOKELE MBEMBE POPO BAWA GAZANGA DIPROTODON SNAGRIFF" are all basically the same thing. They are all mythical characters of legend in various cultures. The chupacabra, literally "goat sucker" in Spanish, is famous in Central America for supposedly sucking the blood from goats and leaving nothing but two holes in the neck. That yaquaru is some type of sea tiger, the mapinguari is from the amazonian jungle, and the selkie is from Ireland. The denebian slime devil is a mythical amphibian, the mokele mbembe is a dinasaur-like creature from the congo. Also from africa is the popo bawa (bat's wing in swahili), who is supposedly half bat half man. Does this mean Bruce Wayne in season 3? maybe. Finally, the diprotodon is an extinct Australian mammal. Basically ezra is beating us over the head with the fact that clark is a mythical creature."

Keep sending in your thoughts, or posting them on the message board, and we'll post them!

This Week With Ezra Small... 5/7
The prophecies at the Smallville Ledger website, which may or may not be hints about what's to come on the show, have added a fourth entry. Check it out and then please E-mail us and tell us what you make of it beyond what's below - we're pretty stumped!

Here's what IS able to be figured out. "The Shape" sent us this:

I've been able to decipher the coded message from this week's (Part IV) prophecies. This is what every letter represents:

a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z

becomes...

d-e-f-g-a-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-c-t-u-v-w-x-y-z-b

It's basically the original alphabet expect the letters a-b-c have been moved in the order. Ihave not been able to find a meaning to the message but this is what I got:

breitenwinner snakes surround him schermerhorn cloaked one approaches xan turn your back lowell county inform without convincing lascaux St. George’s armor androzani avoid further contact miladon pink trainer home rainbow canyon isti mirant stella agharta bepposax will return janus VI beware the pediatrician ritidian metropolis united charities qaidam chandler’s field windmill altamira.

Obviously some of the words are kind of odd.... many of the terms are confusing, as well. Some are may be references to other sci-fi TV shows involving caves. The Hortas of "Janus VI" are "the greatest miners in the galaxy" in the Star Trek universe, according to a Google search. The only time I (K-Site webmaster Craig) has ever heard the word "Androzani" is in "The Caves of Androzani," Peter Davison's final Doctor Who episode. Again with the caves.

Other things... "Rainbow Canyon" is a tourist attraction in Nevada where people can look at rock art. And of course certain elements from Smallville arer openly there... "Lowell County," "Metropolis United Charities," and "Chandler's Field windmill."

As for the poems, Jules sent us these cracks:

It's a long excursion
Not a brief conversion
You should remember that

Lex becoming evil is a long process, it doesn't happen overnight. One should always consider that.

She was only there
In the painter's brushstrokes
Yet she shared in his greatness

From the episode "Crush" with Justin the painter. Chloe is the she and she shares in his greatness: she knows he is telekinetic (sp?).

The great swarm of bees will arise
Such that one will not know
Whence they have come

From the episode "Drone" with Sasha the Queen Bee.

Empires rise and fall around her
As beauteous as Prometheus' sister
She blinds those who would possess her


My guess is Desiree Atkins ("Heat"). She would marry rich old guys and later get them killed so she would get an inheritance. She blinds her preys with her super pheromones.

You see him...and you want him
All this time you've been hiding it
Now's your chance to show him


When Chloe visits Clark when he has "Fever" she tells him that she wants him and that she has been hiding it.

In a church near a pond
Find a crypt
Before it becomes a tomb


In "Vortex", Nixon and Pa Kent are trapped in what once a crypt of the Church near Hobson's' Pond that was destroyed in the 1989 meteor shower. Before it becomes a tomb to them, Clark discovers them.

Ezra Small Prophecies: Part Three
More prophecies have been posted at the Smallville Ledger website. Please send us your interpretations of the prophecies, and of course we'll post them here. Also feel free to post in the appropriate thread on the message board. It seems most of this week's references are to things that have already happened on the series. Here are some thoughts we have so far:

Make a wish
On a day of tragedy
A miracle arrives

All we can make of this is possibly that something horrible will happen in "Exodus" to Martha's baby, and the miracle is possibly Clark flying?

Another interpretation is going back to the show's pilot. Martha made a wish to Lana, the "faiwy pwintheth" that a child would come into her life. The tragedy of course was the meteor shower, but Clark was the miracle that arrived.

He will live when he should have died
His blood presents baffling mysteries
Yet he is just a man

This is probably a reference to the blood work Dr. Helen Bryce has done to Clark. In the episode "Fever," he lived where he should have died.

Where I see myself
In five years
I will be nothing like my father

Lex's story in "Redux" had a similar theme.

We had a few people cracking the code this week. Chris Hernandez sent this:

I knew it had to involve the keyboard because of the commas, period, and apostrophes. You may have to stare at your keyboard for a little while to see how it works, you just have to move one space up and one to the right to get to where you're trying to go. ex. start at the C, move one space up to the empty space and one space right to the F

q w e r t y u i o p
; a s d f g h j k l
. z x c v b n m ,

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z , .

translates to

w h f r x t y u m i o p k j , . c e v n g z d b s l a

so here's what it says

scholar is rosetta
nightwing and flamebird
sumerians saw truth
kenneth knows frequency

frequency leafy little hamlet
maltese blood oranges
accept your destiny
find the papers

"Scholar is Rosetta" = obviously a reference to Dr. Swann. "Nightwing and Flamebird" were the superheroic identities of Superman and Jimmy Olsen on the bottle city of Kandor in the original comics. Adam Thurmond suggests "Kenneth knows frequency" is a reference to the band REM, who did a song titled "Superman." They were also known for a song called "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

"Find the papers" may mean that Clark knows someone has information on him and has to retrieve whatever it is they have on him.

Special thanks to Will Fraser and Gian Mendoza, who also e-mailed cracking codes and offering insights.

Ezra Small Prophecies: Part Two
More prophecies have been posted at the Smallville Ledger website. Please send us your interpretations of the prophecies, and of course we'll post them here. Also feel free to post in the appropriate thread on the message board. Here are some thoughts we have so far:

"The crow flies another direction"
Either Clark and Lex fly in different directions of their destiny -- or this could be a reference to the Crow -- the Smallville High mascot -- and maybe Chloe is going in a different direction, breaking away.

"That which is enclosed in lead
Remnant of a world's demise
Defeats the undefeatable"

It sounds to us like some Kryptonite will be encased in a lead case and be used to defeat Clark.

"Malformed frame
Fractured reflection
The one shall see the invisible"

Perhaps Clark finally sees the "invisible" Chloe after something horrible happens to her?

"Beloved husband and father
Beloved wife and mother
The graveyard stretches to eternity"

This could be referring to the prophecy seen by Cassandra in the episode "Hourglass."

NEW! Jason Jontra has e-mailed us cracking this week's code. Here's what he was able to find:

Well, I believe I have cracked the code from Part 2 of the Ezra Small Conundrum at The Ledger website. I have also translated the jumbled words and put together a description of each word. First, here is the deciphering tool:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z translates to:

F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D E

Upon closer inspection you will see that you must advance 5 spaces (or letters) to find the corresponding letter. And of course, you must wrap around to the beginning once you reach Z. After this is done the translations are as follows:

NCZIND = SHENSI

Shensi is an inland province in northern China. Unfortunately, I was not able to find anymore information about Shensi.

OZJODCPVXVI = TEOTIHUACAN

Teotihuacan means "The City of the Gods" or "Where Men Become Gods." It is located in the valley of the same name 30 miles north of Mexico City, Mexico.

BDUV = GIZA

Giza is the location of the great pyramid, one of the seven wonders of
the world. It is located in Cairo, Egypt.

HTYJIDV = MYDONIA

I did a search for Mydonia and all I could find was a website stating that Mydonia was the underwater realm??? I am not sure about this though. There may be more info. that I did not find.

PMMDFV = URRIKA

The large continent ("old world") on which Kryptonian civilization began (according to Superman Lore)

BPDHVM = GUIMAR

The location of the Pyramids of Guimar, Canary Islands, Spain

KZMZGVIYMV = PERELANDRA

It is the name given to the planet Venus (in the old tongue of the solar system) in C.S. Lewis’ book also titled “Perelandra”

OZGG-VG-HPLVTTVM = TELL-AL-MUQAYYAR

Tell al-Muqayyar (ancient Ur) lies near the city of Nasiriyah in the southwestern floodplain of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. There is also a temple built 4,000 years ago to honor the moon god Nanna in Tell-al-Muqayyar. It is located in present day Iraq.

PFZMO = UKERT

This is a crater on the face of the moon that appears to be the shape of a perfect triangle. Some believe (within UFO and conspiracy theory groups) it is possibly artifially made.

XVCJFDV = CAHOKIA

As in Cahokia, Illinois. Apparently this is the site of the Cahokia Mounds. It can be translated as City of the Sun.

RZBOCJM = WEGTHOR

One of Krypton's moons. It was destroyed when an experiment by the criminal-scientist Jax-Ur went wrong, killing the people who had colonized it. The remains of this moon joined with space debris to form rings around Krypton like those around Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. (According to Superman lore)

Well, that is it. Some other people may be able to find some more information about all of these but several recurring themes (for the most part) were Native Americans (Teotihuacan, Cahokia), Pyramids (Teotihuacan, Giza, Guimar, Tell-Al-Muqayyar), and Krypton (Urrika, Wegthor). I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Jason Jontra

Keep visiting this site for updates to the speculation, and remember Part 3 will be posted at the Ledger next week!

"Swan Not Mute?"
We received an e-mail from "IbenLaw" that may have figured out some of the "gibberish codes" featured in a recent Smallville Ledger article about the prophecies of Ezra Small. Here's what he pointed out:

NOTE: We accidentally printed a mistranslation -- rather than "Swan Not Muse," as originally reported here at K-Site, it's "Swan Not Mute." Our apologies for any misinformation.

This morning I visited the front page of KryptonSite, as I do every Wednesday, and saw a news post from Craig about Ezra Small's "prophecies" in the Ledger. Being curious, I followed the link and checked it out. While most of the prophecies were self-explanatory and kind of lame, the part about random numbers and letters caught my attention. Those letters and numbers aren't random. They're a code. If you take each letter in that part and replace it with it's opposite (i.e. a becomes z), those not-so-random lines spell out a message. Below is the decoded message:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
z y x w v u t s r q p o n m l k j i h g f e d c b a

hdzm mlg nfgv ivw gfork xirvh

alexander at thebes day is coming

povrm gl hkivdvoo izl nzwv fh
klein to sprewell rao made us


Feel free to tell me that I have to much free time on my hands. :)

So what does this mean? Dr. Swann is not mute -- does that mean he accidentally tells someone about Clark's secret? The number 89 may signify the year 1989.

Regarding Alexander at Thebes, philljt tells us "The story of Alexander at Thebes involves the Greek ruler Alexander the Great taking over an army his father had left him...and turning it into an even greater fighting machine, and in turn stepping out from his father's shadow. It also marks a turning point in Alexander's rise to power. So, the "prophecy" in the code, if the interpretation is correct, probably refers to Lex subverting Lionel's control of Luthorcorp sometime in the near future and/or moving to the dark side."

Steven Dougherty adds: "Alexander the Great destroyed Thebes as a warning to other Greeks. It was a great turning point in his life. Thebes revolted against his rule, and he crushed the revolt mercilessly. This was probably the one act that truly set his path to greatness. Since Lex is often compared to Alexander the Great, it might not be too far fetched to think that some sort of "day of reckoning" is coming. A point in Lex's story that cements his fall into darkness. Well, it's not that cryptic, really. We all know that he's going to fall eventually, so the prophecy isn't all that insightful."

"Rao made us" = The Kryptonian god is Rao.

Other elements within that same article make reference to "Morris, Rice and Sedgwick" -- three counties in Kansas. It implies the meteor shower may not be the first, nor the last. A fan pointed out that there's a reference to a "trembling sufferer" and a "third level" - which could be referencing Earl Jenkins from "Jitters."

Another bit of the "prophecy" says "Tzaruch shermirah hasof bah." Steven Doughterty thinks it means this: "The phrase "Tzaruch shemirah hasof bah" in Ezra Small's journal is Yiddish, I believe and it means "everyone must account for themselves because the end is near". I'm not sure of the exact translation, to be honest. I'm getting this info second hand. Oddly enough, there was a news report about a talking fish recently that essentially said the exact same phrases."

We'll let you read the rest of the Ledger article and see what you can make of it. From the prophecies of a "too-short life," it sounds like Baby Kent might not be long for this world. You are welcome to discuss the article and the findings, too, on the K-Site message board. Already the fans are buzzing on the "prophecies."

Regular Reeve Next Year?
The STAR tabloid recently published a report that the producers are willing to move production to New York next year if that's what it would take to get Christopher Reeve to take a recurring role in the show. Since this is in a tabloid, don't put too much stock in it, but it's a safe bet that Dr. Swann will return at some point.
