I had heard months ago that in the season finale of SMALLVILLE two characters were going to die and not be resurrected next season.  Does it strike anyone odd that one of those characters was Jimmy Olsen? Jimmy has been a member of the pantheon of characters of the Superman universe almost from the beginning. Its almost as if the writers of Smallville didn't know what to do with him. If thats the case why did they introduce him into the series in the first place. Wouldn't surprise me if they kill off Lois Lane next season.

Yes, but keep in mind that turned out to be the older brother of the Jimmy Olsen we all know from the comics.

The Jimmy portion of my smallville review:

I was VERY surprised at the scene of Jimmy's funeral. Most of you who know something about the comics or animations know that Jimmy is a kid photographer for the Daily Planet working closely with Lois Lane on many stories and that he and Superman are "Pals". However in the comics, Jimmy's name is James Bartholomew Olsen, NOT Henry James Olsen as said by the priest. Also, Jimmy is supposed to be about 10 years younger then Lois and Clark. So the passing of the torch (or camera) to the child leads one to believe that HE is the true Jimmy Olsen. Very sly Smallville Writers, I like it.
