Yes everyone knew that he was goin' to die. but I think they should have killed off Lana, then towards the end of the show they could have killed off John. It just shocked me that they would get rid of him right now. Hopefully they will have flashbacks or do something so he can still do the show. Toward the end of the episode I was hoping Clark was going to wake up and realize it was a dream. Another thing Clarks fast so why not rush him to the hospital when he realized his dad wasn't feeling well. In the movie Clark wasn't home when his dad died. So why not follow that story. I know it's a show but Clark could have saved him. And if anyone knows what the hell was Lionel holding over Jonathan Kent anyway. And to close Clark better not let Lionel start seeing his mom.
