James Marsters' Brainiac is back, and as his devious plan to take over earth continues to unfold, Clark is having a pity party. "Since the day I arrived, all I've brought is suffering and death," he frets in this week's 150th episode of Smallville. "Meteor freaks, Phantoms, Brainiac. If I never reached earth, none of them would've ever been here." Right on cue, his own version of It's a Wonderful Life plays out when his Kryptonian dad, Jor-El, enables the future Superman to experience what would have happened had his rocket ship never landed in Kansas.
In this alternate reality, Lois is a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter for the Daily Planet, and Lex is president. Needless to say, things are not better on Earth without Clark, and to save the world from apocalypse, he teams up with Lois -- evoking some classic Superman mythology moments, including a newsroom collision between the future lovers reminiscent of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder's meet-cute-and-clumsy from Superman: the Movie. Says executive producer Al Gough: "This just proves that no matter what the reality is, Clark and Lois are destined to be with each other."
