And I'm done


Ok, the first, and most important question is how the hell are they going to wrap this up in the Season 8 premiere without Michael. Is Lex just going to magically disappear? Actually, knowing the writers that's probably exactly what will happen

Also, they must have included that 'I love you like a brother' line so the Clexers could ignore the brother bit and be happy that at the end the boys do still love each other, even if they're both totally messed up. It seemed right that Michael's last scene had Lex holding Clark in his arms. It makes me happy, or as happy as I can get about the show these days

The Lana scene had me very emotionally confused. At first I was angry that they had her leave so he could be Superman, as we all speculated she would, and also that she dumped him on video. Did she learn nothing from what happened with Whitney?

But as soon as Clark started to cry, and Lois hugged him and I was bawling my eyes out. Really, Clark crying just brings out all kinds of maternal instincts that I didn't even know I had and I just wanted to hug him.

But, back to my annoyances, why does Lois want Clark to work at The Planet? Has he demonstrated any sort of reporter savvy in the whole time they've known each other? They might as well have written it as follows

Lois: Clark, I've got you an application form for a job at The Daily Planet
Clark: Uh...why?
Lois: Because it's comic book canon, stupid. Incidentally, you will be in love with me next year
Clark: ...

So, that brings me to the end of my extremely rocky relationship with Smallville. I'm still in awe that a show can bring me so much joy and so much anger and disappointment at the same time.

Edit: And they totally destroyed the fortress so Clark can build it again when he's ready to become Superman. Way to retcon, writers.

I bet they'll use this as an excuse for Lex to conveniently forget all his time in Smallville too

Yup, that was pretty much my opinion. I think overall the good ever so marginally outweighed the bad

I still like the show enough (Tom's still in it, after all), that I will keep on watching, but I'm worried about next year...

I mean *really* worried.

*pouts*

I will hope for the best, but I'm afraid they're trying too hard to stretch it for another season...

*sigh*

I just don't think it's going to hold well without Michael

Yeah, exactly. I mean, I love Tom, he's gorgeous and talented, but the show was supposed to be about Clark becoming superman and then, as a side story, Lex becoming a villain.

How can the hero be as heroic without his villain?

They'll have to be creative, so maybe they can do it, but I'm not sure how well things will work without Michael.

Yeah, because they've done a stellar job so far. LOL!

Exactly!

That's why I'm worried!

LOL!

Oh, well... I'm still Smallville's love slave as long as Tom is on it.

Hehe! I might take a peek next year depending what people say about it
