Season 8 Guide (2008-2009)

OVERVIEW: This season focuses on Clark Kent as he starts his job at the Daily Planet, begins to accept more of his destiny as Earth's hero, and develops romantic feelings for Lois Lane.

Season 8 Quotes

Season 8 / Episode 3: - Toxic

Davis Bloome: You must be Lois.
Lois Lane: You must be the one who's actually qualified to do this.
Davis Bloome: He's dying. I'm sorry.
Lois Lane: Here is what's gonna happen, Dimples. You are going to reach into that handy little tackle box of yours and pull us out a miracle. Oliver Queen does not die today.
Davis Bloome: The best I can do is keep him alive a few minutes longer.
Lois Lane: Then do it.

Season 8 / Episode 21: - Injustice

Oliver Queen: [referring to a bottle of wine] It's a '64 Soleil. It's from my private collection. I was just thinking we could just take the afternoon off, and, uh, pop the cork.
Tess Mercer: Keep your cork... in your pants.
