Idea for premiere; Idle speculation

I was just thinking. . . . (I know, dangerous habit.) I'm told there's a well-known comic in which Superman dies and Jonathan somehow goes after him to bring him back from the dead. What if "SV" were to adapt that idea for the season premiere? Suppose Jonathan, in a coma, found himself able to communicate mentally with Clark in the void. Maybe his "connection" with JE would allow him to get in there, even against JE's will. If Jonathan could do this, his support and encouragement might be what gives Clark the strength to hold out against JE until Martha and/or Swann can get him out. Then they could get him to the hospital just in time to be there when Jonathan wakes up!

I like the idea because it gives both Jonathan (even if he's really sick) and Martha distinct roles to play in getting Clark back. Plus it would most likely help Jonathan get over his case of the guilts about the deal he had to make. The only problem is that if Jonathan were in a coma, he couldn't tell Martha what happened to Clark. But Swann's really smart, so once Martha gets in touch with Swann about the symbol in the field, maybe he could figure it out on his own.

(I'm not trying to mess with your version of events, Dawn -- it's just a bit of speculation! :) )

OH, no panic! What I'm writing isn't the way I think the show will go anyway ;) I just thought, hey I'll have a little fun :)

I think they will probably have some surprises we aren't expecting, who knows, your idea could be one of them!

Actually, I love the idea! And it would explain why Jonathan is not with Martha :D

It dawns on me that if Jonathan really is in a coma, as it sounds like he is, then there's a chance this old idea of mine could be right after all! I mean, if he is in a coma, they'll probably have him wake up fairly soon -- they're not going to have him asleep half the season. (At least they'd better not!) That means he wakes up and Clark comes back at roughly the same time. Coincidence? Or some kind of mental link that, just maybe, kept JE from doing as much damage to Clark as he would have liked? And maybe Dr. Swann could be the one to ferret out what happened, if neither Jonathan nor Clark can remember anything. . . .

I guess I've really taken off down the speculation trail now!

I hope so, but with Lois in the mix, I'm afraid they'll be too distracted to deal with Jonathan :( That's SV's biggest downfall. When they find a new toy, they play with it until it breaks and ignore all the others in the meantime. Me? Bitter that they keep bringing in cheap stunts instead of dealing with the characters they already have? The heck you say :p

Do you really think so? I'm not expecting Lois to be much of a problem. She'll be part of the Chloe storyline, and that would need to be taken care of with or without her. Truthfully, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the future love of Clark's life! As long as they write the part well and get a good actress, that is.

What I AM afraid will take up too much time -- and be totally out of place among everyone else's trauma -- is the Lana/Jason storyline. I wonder if this is what G&M were talking about when they said the fourth season would be more "fun." That's the only way I can think of to get from the current mood to a fun mood, is show those two having fun! Because I sure don't think Clark, Jonathan, Martha, Chloe, Lex, or anyone else is going to be up for it any time soon. But I'd a million times rather they concentrated on all of them and let Lana and Whitney 2.0 go have fun somewhere else.

And here I was complaining not too long ago that they should have some more lighthearted episodes! Be careful what you wish for, I guess.

Lex is busy and Lana is gone. Pet's gone. Chloe is "dead." Lois is all there is for Clark in the premiere and I'm afraid they'll be so pumped and salivatting over bringing Lois into the picture that they'll spend way too much time on that and next to none where they should--on the bond between Clark and his parents and how he finds his way back to them.

And don't get me started on why I don't care about what Lana is doing :p

What would be the point of the Clark hospital scene though, if it isn't to reunite him with his parents? I sure hope it is, because I can't see any other reason for it, and I think it would be pretty touching. :)

As for Lana I don't care what she's doing as long as it's not around Clark :LOL: I've had enough of her 'I want him, I don't want him' routine by now :p

I hope that's it but the writers seem to love to creat distance betwwen Clark and his family--

Vortex--Jonathan is missing
Exile--Clark is a doof and disappears to Metropolis
And now in S4 they plan to have Clark with amnesia. :blink:

Well I doubt anyone who has saved half the town will be able to walk around much without being recognized. So, hopefully the amnesia won't keep him away from his parents for long :)

Unless he remembers everything on his own, I can't really see anyone but Jon and Martha being the ones to jog his memory about his gifts and so on, so maybe that will help and give us a few parental scenes.

We need happiness in Smallville! Season 3 was good, but it so put me on a downer with all the bad things happening to everyone!

I know -- poor sweetie. :*( I think it's group hug time! :grouphug:

I wrote this over at K-site, but it bears repeating here. What if the people who write the spoilers are messing with us by using some very careful and clever wording? We know that Clark sees his reflection in a window in the hospital (note: a WINDOW, not a mirror) and that he's shocked. But what if it's not actually the reflection that shocks him? What if it's the window of Jonathan's hospital room, and he's shocked when he looks through it and sees his parents?

I kinda thought that Clark was going to have amnesia, I was thinking that back at the end of May!!! I was going to write a story about it, but I never got around to it. What better to jog Clark's memory than seeing his dad, and how touching would that be? I'm tingling all over just thinking about it. I am SUCH a sap.

Could you write a story about that, Livvie? That would be great!
