Guess who's crashed the wedding ? : Smallville latest ! ***** WARNING : Spoilers Ahead ! *****



Last Thursday 20th November, American viewers were treated to the half season finale of Smallville Season 8. In 'Bride', episode 10, it's Chloe and Jimmy's Wedding Day and it's all taking place at the Kent Barn. They marry, introduced to the audience at the reception and just as they cut the wedding cake an unexpected visitor arrives. DOOMSDAY is finally here and he's after Chloe and nothing's gonna stop him !! Doomsday is not the only unexpected visitor, Lana Lang is back, though she should have stayed away, and does she appear at the right moment ?

We won't see this episode in the UK until possibly 6th January on E4 and the next episode won't air in the States until 15th January, so looking like a UK break on E4 for a few weeks. American viewers will then be treated to 'Legion' episode 11 when three superheroes from the future travel to the past to help Clark in force to try and defeat Brainiac who has possessed his Fortress Of Solitude and Chloe's body.

Rumoured to be the last season of Smallville, it's looking like it's going to be the most action fest and best yet, though in my opinion I think the series should be called 'Metropolis' now due to Clark spending most of his time here finally working for the Daily Planet and gradually moulding into the character we truly know him as Superman. Though we are never going to see him don the red and blue suit and cape and some fans think the series is an outrage turning the Superman legend into a 'teen' soap drama, but what the hell though, it's lasted eight seasons, what some US dramas don't even get near to since the days of Buffy and Angel and Buffy lasted 144 episodes where as Smallville is at 162 episodes with the latest. Though not for all fan taste it's still great to see Superman in some form on TV regular each year and I suppose I can forgive them for not making Clark Kent geeky.
