Huh?

Ok, I reconfirmed at several places that the Smallville premiere is next week, so why the heck did they show the rerun of "Quest" rather than "Arctic" tonight? Dammit, I was looking forward to rewatching that pivotal Clark-Lex scene. And while I kind of liked Quest the first time, I found it pretty damn tedious this time around.

Maybe they don't want us remember that Lex activated the Kryptonian device in an heroic attempt to save the world from the danger Clark poses (and, you know, he really DOES), and then willingly sacrificed himself to stay with Clark as the Fortress came down. That way, they can have all the other characters endlessly villify Lex in the eighth season and hope that we actually buy it.

Ok, but presumably the next episode is going to start with Lex missing (and probably Clark as well)--how on earth will they explain that without showing Arctic?

No doubt the first batch of characters we see will be offering heavy-handed dialogue to assure us that they will find and rescue Clark, no matter what the EVIL LEX LUTHOR has done to him. *snorts*

Yeah, and they'll start out with some kind of voiceover saying 'previously on Smallville'... then we'll... sorry, they'll... see Lionel saying Lex was born evil. Lex pushing Lionel out the window. Chloe and Clark mourning Lionel's death, because he died for us all. Various and assorted characters taking potshots at Lex -- both figuratively and literally. And so on and so forth. Then, season 8 will begin, and everyone will be speculating about what EVIL LEX LUTHOR might be doing to poor, innocent, sweet Clark Kent who never did anything to hurt Lex in his life. Bah! Humbug.

Er...the first batch of characters YOU see. I won't be watching now that Lex is gone, but force of habit is tough to break. *g*
