Smallville 10x20 Prophecy Review

The pen-ultimate episode of Smallville delivered everything that the series needs before takes flight off from the screen for good.The episode saw the return of Winslow Schott aka Toyman,Granny Goodness and many other who were just featured as cameo but still made the episode interesting like Metallo,Roulette,Dark Archer and even new ones like Grundy,Black Manta and Captain Gold and of course let's not forget Kara Kent portrayed by the beautiful Laura Vandervoort who returned for one last time to the show for a mission to stop Darkseid and she teams up with Oliver Queen for the first time.

The two heroes were undeniable more than just awesome.They worked together to retire the Bow of Orion which is the only weakness Darkseid has but this could be acomplished only if the Light and Dark were in balance and Kara was pure so she had the light in her and due the un-balance she was trapped although Oliver arrived for the Bow too on his own and helped Kara out.Due the corruption, Oliver was infected by the darkness so the balance was maintined and the two opened the portal which led them to the ultimate weapon.Kara in the last minute was summoned by Jor-El so she had to leave, leaving Oliver on his own to get the item, of course this is Smallville, nothing goes smooth and Granny Goodness followed him and finally desrtoyed the weapon than made Oliver Darkseid's minion and ordered him to find Gold Kryptonite which would take away Clark's powers leaving him weakened and open to the darkness' corruption.

Meanwhile, Clark took Lois to the Fortress and showed his father, Jor-El, his desire to start a new life alongside Lois to which daddy responded and gave Lois Clark's ability for a day so she can see what is like to be Clark but this also had an unexpected side effect.Clark was powerless. Being the hero of the day, Lois quickly adjusted and stopped a robbery which was proven to be staged because the burglar was actually a mind controled Courtney Whitmore who was the marionette of Winslow Schott also knows as The Toyman. Lois tracked down the madman only to be controled too and she was sent to kill the Blur although unsuccesful because after sunset, Clark's powers returned and went to face Toyman and finally told him that he is not afraid of him because he knows he(toyman) won't tell the world his secret because than there wouldn't be any other games to play and before leaving he added that no matter what they'll do with his team of villains, he'll always be there to stop them.

After all the madness, Clark went to the Fortress one last time and told Jor-El that he is ready to become the hero he was meant to be and his trials are finally over than said goodbye to Jor-El and shut down the whole Fortress leaving it darkened whith the super suit still frozen.
Kara put on the Legion ring and went to the future so Clark could fight the ultimate villain on his own and embrace his true destiny as Superman,but things went extremely wrong as Lois canceled the wedding and told Clark she won't marry him because she might be his greatness weakness and being with her while he could be saving people would be just selfish which leaves Clark heartbroken.
The episode was overall very well pened ,sure there weren't a lot of fight sequences because it was an emotional episode, just what we need before the 2-hour series finale.
