Smallville Question?

[DukesFan24]

Who died?

I heard it was John, but i'm not too sure.

[lost_sheep3]

Unfortunately, you heard right. I haven't seen the episode yet, but have it on good authority that Jonathan Kent died.

[bethie88]

Yeah. Lana died, then Clark asked Jor-El to let him save her, so he did. But then, he took Jonathan in exchange.

[DukesFan24]

That is sad.

Thank you.

[just_me]

Definitely is sad, only thing I don't get is that John wrote this on the opening of his fansite himself (actually it's still there):

Hi there!

I appreciate everyone's concern about the "Smallville" rumors but need to strongly reprimand whoever posted todays newsletter regarding the future of my character. In fact, I have read several scripts with Jonathan Kent in them and have no evidence of his demise.

Also... Please don't email anyone at The WB about this as they are busy preparing a fantastic second part of the season for us all.

Again... Rumors are just that and shouldn't be taken too seriously. And please don't write to Mr. Janollari. He is a big fan of not only the show but of mine as well. A great guy!

Happy New Year!

John

I understand the plot of the series shouldn't be told, that would ruin the exitement, but he could have let rumors just be rumors and not comment on it at all, instead of saying they weren't true, when they were.

I didn't see the episode myself yet but could it be Jonathan Kent returns? Awakend from the dead or something? Stranger things have happned in Smallville.

What happened was this: Someone in John's office jumped the gun and posted on his site several weeks ago about Jonathan's upcoming death. When word got out and people started e-mailing them about it, the message was yanked and replaced with that one.

I agree that he needs to hurry up and change it. Now that the death has happened, that message looks really weird!

If anyone likes "Smallville" fan fiction, some of us are working on stories where Jonathan comes back from the dead. Anyone who would like a link to the Jonathan Kent Fan Fiction Project, let me know. :)

[DukesFan82]

I have seen before, too.

[Bo_Duke_girl]

You heard right. It's sad.

He does appear in another episode after he dies. It's a home movie of Clark and Jonathan. Martha was watching their home movies when Clark came in.

Clark saw the movie and his eyes started watering up and he just ran over to Martha and hugged her and he started crying.

It was so sad but so beautiful at the same time

[boiscute2007]

he was in it and his character died in Nov. or Dec. I cried way too much. :(

[boiscute2007]

I admit I cry every time I watch an old Smallville episode with John. My dad laughs at me. It stinks that Clark wanted to save that jerk named Lana.

[Qualapec the She-Wolf]

Yeah, the moron (Clark) bartered away his dad's life for a ***** who's biggest tallent is smiling and getting neck deep into trouble.

Ya ask me she should have died.

Of course, now on Johns site is:

Okay, okay... I know, I know... I told an untruth...
I lied. I was under strict orders NOT to let anyone
know that Jonathan Kent was actually the one who was
going to die in the 100th episode. I'm sorry. All
in all, I think it was a terrific show. As good as
the pilot and that was one of the best hours on TV
ever!

Well... he did apologise... :wink: :D

[HotHillbilly]

I was so angry that John died instead of Lana...just kill her off!!! :P Johns much hotter anyways!! lol. I wish that Lana would have died because that would have made the plot more intresting. "Now what is Clark to do that his love is dead?" and now they're broken up anyways, and she's going to turn evil *gaaah* I wish she would have died. It's technically Lex's fault (isn't it always) because if he wouldn't' have been chasing her, she would have never died to begin with then Clark wouldn't have had to go back and exchange lives. BLah.

[boiscute2007]

Lana's such a b***h, why would anyone want to save her? Why do you think Jor-El pick Jonathon Kent? If they put in the show i didn't see it, just saw episodes after tragic death.
