720 Arctic TVG Says Finale is Electric- SPOILERS!

From the 5-12-08 Issue of TV Guide:

After seven seasons and countless schemes Lex ( Michael Rosenbaum) may finally have Clark’s( Tom Welling) number. ” The finale deals with what could be the [culmination] of Lex’s quest …and potentially the most devastating blow that Clark Kent has ever faced” reveals exec- producer Al Gough. Could that blow have to do with the news that Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk ( Lana) will not be back as regulars next season? “Some character’s journeys come to an end” teases Gough, whose own journey stops here too: He and co-creator Miles Millar announced in April that they were leaving the series after the finale- right after launching one last Brainiac ( James Marsters) attack on the good folks of Smallville. “He’s back with a score to settle”.
