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

The scene is in the ep, but according to ksiteCraig500, there was MORE!

This is what Craig said:


Originally in the scene where Lois gives Clark the application for the Planet, there was a lot more dialogue about the past of Clex, and Lois makes a comment asking "Why would a billionaire become a rugged farm boy's BFF? There had to be more going on than just gratitude." Clark got awkward, and says he's got to go, and Lois reminds him that even though she's a general's daughter from a conservative family, she's a lot more open minded than he may think, and then she flat-out asks him what exactly was up between the two of them.

Fortunately for Clark, that's when Chloe came in, and that interrupted Lois's questioning. But for a brief moment - the first time in 7 seasons - someone FINALLY thought to ask the nature of the Clex. It read very well.

I figured the lines would be cut somewhere along the line, though I was told the cut was mostly for time and it didn't fit with the mood of the scene. To go from something humorous to "Edward Teague is dead" just didn't work with the scheme of things. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere along the line some closed-minded exec would have demanded that you don't imply Superman and Lex Luthor are homosexuals, but hey. I always laughed when the OC made light of their own HoYay, and I think it would have been funny here.

Who knows. Maybe it'll make the DVD.

OOH!!! Oh, I wish they'd have left it in. A nice way to end Michael's time on the show
