A couple of things happened Lionel Luthor that may have made him a vessel.
The one the alluded to is that he was in possession of a crystal (and here's where my memory starts getting fuzzy on this) that somehow activated when he was holding it (?). I think it may have knocked him out, or blinded him, or put him in a coma or something. Anyway, it was one of the three (?) crystals that Clark, Lana and her boyfriend/boyfriend's mother, Lex and Lionel were all independently searching for for much of last season.
The other things that crossed my mind is that Lionel and Clark swapped bodies at some point last season, and when they switched back Lionel had no memory of it, but instead was left "born again" presumably because of his brush with such a powerful "goodness." It also cured his cancer.
The show needs to do a better job of tying all of these mysteries together instead of just finishing up a storyline and leaving all of these loose ends. It could have as much intregue as a show like Lost, but they never continue on the same path for too long.
On a side note, any takers as to who the "loved one" is that gets the ax? My guess: Chloe. She's the less obvious choice because of the "loved one" angle, but she's the easiest to cut from the show because she's not a part of the Superman legend as we know it...but Lois Lane is, and it's time she steps into a bigger role.
On a side note, I read in a Comic Book magazine that young Aquaman will be making an appearence. And that Tom Welling will be directing an episode this season. Welling is also pushing for a young Bruce Wayne to make an eventual appearence (which I think would be easy to do--bring him to smallville through a business meeting/venture with Lex).

For me, though, they're doing a fascinating job of explaining why Clark becomes Superman, superhero, and an even more fascinating job of why Lex becomes Lex Luthor, supervillain.

The upcoming baby (just kidding)...I would think Chloe also...but I wonder if Pa Kent is due...

The previous fer next week has Aquaman swimming around. That'l be cool to see Wayne make an appearence.

In the same article I read it mentioned Tom Wopat (sp?) AKA Luke Duke making a guest appearence for a number of shows, reuniting he and Schnider...so I think that might rule out Pa Kent.

Aha--I turned it off before the previews.
On a side note, does anyone else usually feel pretty bummed after watching Smallville? They always end on a sad note it seems.

It seems their caught up pimping someones new CD and lately they've been playing the slow moody stuff.

Agreed. I am all over this show, and this season is MUCH better so far than last...

Chloe sounds like a good choice...the less obvious. I think she would die to save him too, if given the choice.
Obvious ones are his father of course, he died in the comics, and Lana, since he needs to move on to Lois Lane somehow

Not going to happen. It would be nice though but the Batman franchise don't want to do a crossover. here's the link
I know they've said it won't happen, but the "batman franchise" and the "superman franchise" are really the same people--Warner Brothers. Things change, especially now that another Batman movie isn't as close to the horizon as it was at the time of this interview.
