1) Lois and Oliver are finally done: And Clark and Lana are really, really done. While we rooted for both couples, we've always known that Lois and Clark were meant to be. And judging from Lois's hot future dream about Clark (less the death and mayhem), the couple are ready for more than just a kiss.

2) Clark may disappoint Lois, but he'll never break her heart: She's his first and last thought. Now, if only Clark, with all his super speed and such, could figure out a way to make the Monster Truck Rally AND play hero so they can get that first real date.

3) Lois deserves a hero who loves her: After being thrown to the side by Oliver far too many times and playing second fiddle to his demons and the Green Arrow, the girl needs a guy she can count on. We're ready for the adventures of "Clark and Lois vs. the world," as Lois said.

4) It will be more than just romance for Lois and Clark: Lois is also "really at the epicenter of Clark's mythological past this season," said Souders. Lois' mysterious dream of the future gives her "insight and some knowledge that Clark needs in order to defeat our villain Zod this season. So not only are they crashing into each other romantically, but they're crashing into each other from a mythology standpoint as well."

5) Smallville's near the end of its run: Nothing has been decided as far as we know, but "we are really gunning for a season 10," Souders said. That would probably be the show's last.
