     "It's good to be back from the dead."

    Like I said in the teaser, don’t read this is if you want to avoid spoilers for the next (and final?) season of SMALLVILLE.  Seeing as how often characters die and get resurrected in superhero comics, it’d figure that a superhero show would follow suit. Keeping that in mind (and considering how the name of the season debut episode is “Lazarus”)  it really shouldn’t be surprising that a character’s coming back.

    Alright alright alright…  don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    IGN’s saying that John Schneider’s coming back as Pa Kent. “How can’t that be?” you ask.

    “Pa Kent died of a heart attack in season five!” you exclaim. == TEASER ==

    IGN’s revealed the “what,” but they aren’t explaining the “how.” I suppose you’ll have to watch the show for that. He’s also supposed to show up in at least one episode in addition to the season premiere. Like I just said, I think the title “Lazarus” ought to be a big clue that this isn’t going to be a dream or a flashback. You know, they’ve already done an adaptation of the DOOMSDAY storyline - - wouldn’t it be wild if this was SMALLVILLE’s more restrained, down-to-Earth take on BLACKEST NIGHT?

    This is the first I heard of this tenth season of SMALLVILLE being the ultimate one. I really thought this show could keep going on forever, but I suppose ten years is a good round amount of time for a run. Sheesh… I was a freshman in high school when this show started!

    Considering the other long-running cast member, Chloe Sullivan, has departed the show (although not because she’s dead,) I think this would be a good chance to discuss what other long-departed characters you’d like to see return for this last season. Maybe Lana Lang? How about Lex Luthor?

    Okay, probably not, BUT HOW MUCH SENSE WOULD IT MAKE.

    Maybe it has something to do with the Lazarus serum that was shown in earlier seasons. Matches the episode's name. As for past characters, I hope they bring Lex Luthor back, as we know he isn't dead.

    they are trying to get lex and lana back for atleast a few episodes and martha will most likely make a cameo. 
     
    I want supergirl to come back for an epsiode XD and i'm not really interested in the father coming back because its been soooooo long since he's been around I'd have to rewatch the first 5 seasons to remember if i even liked the character lol(don't recall like-ability as his character developed) Kinda want to see lionel come back instead, and expose that lex is in hiding

    I don't understand why they'd bring Pa back. I hope this was just to throw us off. What purpose could he possibly serve now that Clark spends more time in Metropolis these days (whether as Clark or Blur)? 
     
    If ANYONE should come back, it should be Lex (given that Dr Fate mentioned him by name, you'd figure they'd go through with it). Even if Micahel Rosenbaum doesn't feel the need to come back, why can't they just get another actor, put a bald cap on him, and call him Lex? 
     
    And here I was really looking forward to season 10.

    Don't know what they are trying to achive bringing him back, I suppose I'll have to wait and see, one think I know is I really liked  John Schneider as Jonathan Kent. Really don't want to see any more of  Lana Lang though I felt all the stuff with her dragged on for way too long.

    Tom, how old are you? If you were a freshman when this show started then were about the same age.

    OKay, so here's a really CRAZY BUT AWESOME idea. If the episode is called "Lazarus", and we assume that the episode involves Johnathan being resurrected by a Lazarus Pit....Does that mean that if there's gonna be a Lazarus Pit, are we going to see Ra's Al Ghul?!! AND, if we see Ra's al Ghul, does that mean that Smallville's FINALLY gonna get the other half of the World's Finest on the show?!!! COME ON BATMAN!!!

    It may be a hallucination or something created by Jor-El to guide Clark.

    I would just want Lex to appear in the last episode. Just when Clark thinks everything will be easy for him Lex walks out. They could build up to it of course with some nice subtle hints. 
     
    Dont know what Pa Kent will do except maybe allow Clark some relief for feeling like it was his fault that pa died. Then of course I am sure he will die again.

    At the end of season 9 we see Clark get stabbed and tossed off a building as a human. He probably dies and Clark meets John in Heaven and convinces Clark its "Not his time yet" Clark comes back and everyone's memory is wiped thereby placing all of this in continuity.

    this show sucks!!! i dont care if they introduce the anti-monitor, that little surprise will still be marred with bad acting, terrible dialogue, bland directing and fake sets. this show sucks the fun and intelligence out of comics.

    Lex should come back for at least the season finale and be taking the presidential oath while being sworn into office (although i don't think Lex is 35 in the show but who cares)

    It  should really be Luthor. Cant just  kill off a major  villain like that especially if Clark  is going become superman just about soon.

    If he does come back... I hope it is only for one or two episodes and only as some sort of spiritual guide for Clark! Pa Kent's death helped define Clark... having him come back would just put Clark back at square one... thats just my opinion!

    if Jonathan comes back ,in my opinion have him be spiritual guide of sort and tell Clark he was wrong for holding him back because he saw Clark's future and knows how important Clark going to be to the world
