TWO HUNDRED!!!!!!

Oh, Smallville. I think Clark Kent's super speed has caused the time to fly by ( I was going to use the whole "Superman can fly" pun, but you know what....HE HASN'T exactly LEARNED TO FLY YET.)


Last night was Smallville's 200th episode. And the past two weeks I've been reading pretty much everything I could on it cause I've been uber excited!! And the one thing I read was that there was going to be a Clois(Clark and Lois) moment at the very end. And...IT HAPPENED. It was an amazing moment for Smallville. 


The episode starts out with Clark and Lois heading off to their Smallville High class reunion. I was very disappointed that there were very few(one, other than Clark and Lois) students portrayed in the early seasons to return. 


But the one student that did return was one of the most important ones, the first person with meteor rock powers that Clark put away on the show. In episode 2 of the show, a guy by the name of Greg Arkin gets in a car wreck with his bug collection. The bugs, which unknown by Greg, are meteor rock-enhanced. The bugs get loose, bit him, he turns into this bug monster dude, he wreaks havoc on some people(including Lana), Grey supposedly crushes himself to death by falling machinery. He returns to the reunion, and ends up telling Lois to tell Clark thank you for putting him on the right path at the end. And that Clark is Smallville's  small town hero. This is a turning point for Clark, and ultimately the show, since it shows Clark that not all of his past is bad and that he actually did good.


James Marsters, who last played the evil Braniac in season 5 and 7, returns after a 47 episode absence as Braniac 5.0 to show Clark who he needs to become. Clark takes a little trip to the past, visiting his father's funeral in episode 100 and also learning that it was not his fault his father died even though he changed fate in episode 100 to save Lana's life, to the present, seeing that his friends are struggling without his help and he is needed especially by his best friend Oliver who just revealed to the world he was the Green Arrow, and to the future.

The second he appears in the future, he is carted off by Lois who quickly forces him to put on those famous glasses. And this Lois knows of his powers and jumps at any chance to help Clark keep his secret. And then Clark runs into.....his future self. Who apparently knew Clark was going to take this trip to the future. They meet up in the elevator of The Daily Planet, Clark is told he is in the future to see who he needs to become, for the sake of the planet, and that his assistance is needed on the roof of the Daily Planet. There is an explosion, future Clark super speeds out of the elevator...and then we get to see the red and blue blur of the Superman suit as future Clark flies off into the sky. Clark ends up saving future Lois, as the explosion Superman flew off to ends up causing the helicopter future Lois was in to crash off the Daily Planet. 

Clark returns to the present, but at a bad time. As he takes Lois to go dance with her, since he was on his little timeline trip for quite awhile, the dance ends and everyone leaves before they get to dance. Clark makes it up to her by meeting her in his barn later that night. Clark lights up the disco ball, turns on the music, and they dance. Romance moment for Smallville. And then....it happens.....the moment Smallville fans have been waiting for.....due to Clark's realization of what he has to do, and that his future is bright, and the calmness/romanticness of the mood......HE FLIES....CLARK KENT FLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!....only problem is, I don't know if he realized this or not. Lois was standing on his shoes they wouldn't step on each other's feet while dancing, and then he just starting going up. Then end credits rolled and I yelled at the television >.<


It was an amazing episode. Definitely now one of my favorites. It lived up to my expectations, and I cannot wait until the next episodes. Apparently they writers have the whole series mapped out until the very last episode now, I just wish they'd tell us how the series is going to end. -_-


And some good news to end with....This episode brought in 3.18 million viewers!! The highest it's ever been since Season 8 episode 21!!!!!!...maybe with all the higher ratings this season is bringing in, the CW might change their mind and go on to an eleventh season!! finger's crossed!! :) :) :) :) :)


>>for reference: this is not technically the 200th episode. In the last season, two episodes were filmed back to back for a TV movie for Smallville. This is technically the 199th episode, however it IS the 200th episode produced, since the episodes that were filmed as one were produced as 2. So the producers do consider this the 200th episode of Smallville<<
