Maybe they mean an actual vet ....Doomsday throws Clark into the Smallville cats home :p

[vantheman77]

I'm glad to hear that the fight between Clark and Doomsday is gigantic.

As for the second question - "The person dying is not human", "The person dying is Mrs Olsen", "The person dying is not Clark", "The person dying is not
Chloe", "The person dying is not Jimmy", or "The person dying is not Davis". It could be any of these answers.

[Belle]

Thanks! IMO, it gotta be Chloe or Davis. Cause since we know clark has to be in season nine, and there's a gigantic fight, it means there must be a death between the two "fighters" : Davis is out!

[CAMI]

Thanks gottara. A little difficult to understand those spoilers from Ausiello. But That´s great with this: "The fight scene between Doomsday and Clark is going to be big".


Thanks, Carmen.

[autumn]

It could be "the person dying is not human." But I wouldn't be surprised if he is saying Chloe because that's who almost everyone 'thinks' is going to die. Plus, he loves her. I think it would be a stupid move personally to kill her off. I wouldn't be shocked if the deaths just end up being Clark and Doomsday and the twists somehow make his explanation make sense. Just saying.

As for Davis, why waste a character who has rejuvenated the show and given it life again? Chloe and Davis are gaining huge popularity too. I'm sure they are aware of this. Such a waste to off the most interesting thing about Smallville these days (IMO of course). They got lucky with Sam Witwer (movie star potential) and wouldn't be the brightest in my opinion to get rid of him at this point. Getting rid of Chloe would be even worse though.

Maybe the deaths will be Tess (the vet- cast member [Ausiello does exaggerate])and John Jones (pivotal character but not a cast member) or something like that. Or it really could just be Clark [long running vet] and Doomsday [pivotal character]. I'm tired of everyone just assuming it is Chloe and Davis. Too predictable and plain outright irritating and unforgivable. Hmph.

Actually since Davis IS Doomsday (he just dreams he is a man), that means that Davis can NEVER die IMO. If they stupidly have Davis disappear into the Beast against his will (which is plausible with these writers- though illogical for Doomsday to become less intelligent as he morphs into a mindless beast- oh how ridiculous that sounds as I write that out), then I say, Davis can always still be in there, just no longer the dominant side (like Chloe was still in there when Brainiac took over) and one day he could reemerge. Davis is who he really is ( a thinking, intelligent being, though not really human of course- hence why he is considered camouflage (heck even Edward calls his human appearance camouflage- so?). Davis and Doomsday are one and the same and since that is the case Davis can never die, no matter what we see on TV. It is just how I see it.

Tess is not a veteran, the spoilers from Ausiello are pretty clear, one is a vet, the other not. This has been posted so many times is annoying:

The Grim Reaper is once again descending on Smallville, and this time he's not foolin' around.

Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that two pivotal characters will bite the dust in this May's season finale. And in a bit of a departure for Smallville, both deaths will stick. "These characters will die and they will stay dead," maintains my insider. "This is the real deal."

Of course, that's not to say producers aren't planning a twist or two, because they are. But I'm told those twists do not involve bringing either character back to life.

If you're looking for another clue, you're out of luck. I'm not even going to do one of those morbid charts where I assess each character's chances for survival. I wouldn't want to do anything beyond writing this spoilery story to ruin the surprises in store.

Eh, one more little tease won't hurt anyone: One character qualifies as a Smallville vet... the other one, not so much.

If the deaths are going to stick, then is not Clark, but Chloe can die since she's not part of the mythos as you well know. Tess could die too, villains that know Clark's secret don't end up well, Davis is more of a metaphorical death, he turns into Doomsday permanently and that's it, he's gone, Davis Bloome is the camouflage, Doomsday is what he is.

Thank you. I wasn't aware. Again. Ausiello exaggerates, so I'll take what he says with a grain of salt.

I seriously hate the mythos. Thanks for reminding me. I had no idea certain characters can't die. I'm shocked. Shocked.

Davis, Chloe, Chlark, and Chlavis forever!

[vantheman77]

I still believe it's Chloe and Davis, regardless of the tricks Ausiello is using.

[autumn]

I know Chloe and Davis will LIVE! Law of Attraction rocks!

[CAMI]

That´s right vantheman77 with this: "I still believe it's Chloe and Davis, regardless of the tricks Ausiello is using.". I would be really sad for Chloe If this happened.


Thanks, Carmen.

[Sifaria]

"The Mercer fight to the death"?

[sealt]

during the big fight, doomsday will die. but so will superman. but as we know superman lives. read somewhere that deaths are both male. so mythos anyone?

[autumn]

After tonight's episode, I'm thinking Chloe is safe. Law of attraction is already on my side. It did cross my mind however that maybe Jimmy will die even though he's in the mythos. It is an alternate world IMO. They do seem to be writing off his character a lot lately. He was supposed to be in this episode. They must have cut his scene. Very strange. He could be the male death and the vet. I think it was the NY Post that thought it could be Jimmy as well. Hmmm. The other death? Possibly Tess. I still see John Jones as a possibility. I just really don't see Chloe's death now that they have given her this important purpose (doesn't seem to me that her story is winding down at all). I wonder if they are working with the comics on this. This is always how I thought she should be introduced if they ever did.

Dan Dido, DC Universe Executive Editor talks about the reasons behind why Chloe isn't in the comics and won't be appearing anytime in the near future in a recent interview dated as of March 18, 2009:

http://www.newsarama.com/comics/030918-Didio0318.html

NRAMA: There was some talk about her appearing previously, but that died down, but is there any chance of Smallville’s Chloe Sullivan appearing in the DCU?

DD: No, there really isn’t. Smallville is in its eighth season right now, and truth be told, if we were going to use Chloe, we would have used her at an earlier date. I think we missed our window on that.

NRAMA: That said, there is someone who will shortly be revisiting Clark Kent’s early days and friendships in Smallville...

DD: It...just wouldn’t feel right. It feels like it’s forcing something into the story that, unfortunately, would have no payoff in the current issues of Superman. Anything that might appear or reveal that we’ve never seen before in Superman: Secret Origin are definitely beats that will play out in the Superman books, or will be touched upon following Secret Origin, and Chloe would be a hard fit to add in, and explain why she hasn’t been seen until now.

Smallville: Chloe Sullivan Not Appearing in Comic Books

Tuesday, January 29, 2008

Back in December we announced the exciting news that Smallville's Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) would be making her way to comic books in Superman issue number 674. Unfortunately for Smallville fans, DC Comics Executive Editor Dan DiDio recently announced that Chloe won't be coming to the world of comics after all. It appears that fans who were hoping to see one of television's feistiest characters in a different art form are out of luck for the time being.


"Chloe is an exciting character on the television show, and we had hoped to work her into DC continuity," DiDio stated in a recent interview with Newsarama.com. "Unfortunately, the stars did not align properly, and even though we had announced it, she will not be appearing in any of the issues of Superman or Action Comics.”

There's no further elaboration from DiDio on Chloe's sudden disappearing act. Maybe it was some sort of rights issue, or maybe Superman writer Kurt Busiek ran into trouble attempting to incorporate the teenage character into the adult world of Clark Kent. There was already some grumbling from fans that the Chloe in the comics wouldn't be the true Chloe, since they were planning to repurpose the character so she didn't know Clark's secret.

When we posted our original story announcing the comic event, BuddyTV readers were split on whether incorporating Chloe was a good idea. Gen717 ranted, "Whoever this character is they chose to call Chloe in the comics is NOT our Chloe. They are basically going to strip her of everything I love about her, make her a different character and call her Chloe? No, I'm not buying a comic that grossly distorts a character I love. Sorry DC, but what on earth are you thinking?"

cecil44 agreed, stating, "I'm actually really really disappointed at the DC version of 'Chloe'! They want to strip her off everything that makes Chloe Sullivan on Smallville such a special character! There is no way I would buy a comic book that distorts her character like this. The whole reason that Chloe is soo great and soo special is the fact that she's a reporter first and Clark's best friend! But like someone else said, I guess we can't really know until we see how they will introduce her."

Unfortunately for cecil44, as well as the rest of us, we won't get a chance to see how Kurt Busiek and the DC Comics team would have introduced Chloe. Though if they were planning to change what makes our favorite reporter so memorable, maybe it's best that she stays solely on television screens.

[vantheman77]

Maybe the new showrunners could be changing things secretly while we may be off track with Ausiello's scoops.

[Gabriela]

too.many. death.anvils tnight for Chloe.....too bad I like the last scene A LOT....they shiould spin off

[CAMI]

Thanks DPReporter for those quotes about Why the character Chloe isn´t in the comics. That´s too sad. Because she has been and will be important in the life of Clark Kent in Smallville, like say in the article "she's a reporter first and Clark's best friend!". The fact that Chloe isn´t in comics doesn´t mean that in the tv serie Smallville she must die.


Thanks, Carmen.

Thanks for sharing, though I think they are missing out. Oh, well. Not like I really care about the comics anyway. I care about certain characters. I like Chloe better than all of them.

[Gabriela]

Update on the scoop.

Ausillo filled some blanks

Question: Any clues on the Smallville vet getting killed off in the finale? --Brad
Ausiello: The *er**n d***g ** *** C****

[Chloe]

Looks like Ausiello filled in some more asterisks today:

Ausiello: The *er**n d***g ** *** C****.

[vantheman77]

The person dying Is Not Clark or The Person Dying Is Not Chloe.

[chrisluvstom]

My money is on Clark *cause that would just be the kind of lame-0 spoiler Ausiello would give LOL*

[CAMI]

Thanks gottara for the lastest information. but It doesn´t say so much almost nothing. It´s a big Mystery who will die in Smallville. I don´t like this, but Maybe One of the persons that will die is Chloe. It would be sad.


Thanks, Carmen.
