And I'm done

[hils]

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

"I was bawling my eyes out"

I was so mad at myself when I realised the Clana scene was making me cry. Now I know it wasn't the Clana, but Clark. Tom was great in that scene.

I hear Lex will be "missing" or something. Kind of a cop out, but anyways, that last shot of Clark and Lex was great. Where the writers tank, the directors do a great job.

I didn't know what to think about that episode. Some of it was so good, some of it was so bad.

♥ Totally.

She did find him at the Daily Planet many times, both researching on his own recently (f.e. in Apocalypse) and when he came to see Chloe. As Lois has no idea what it is Chloe and Clark do, and she knows they see each other when Chloe is not working, it's not hard to see she might think he has some other reason to hang around Daily Planet. She knows he worked at the Torch, so maybe she thinks he likes it at the DP?

On a good note (maybe), there's sid to be a deleted scene where Lois questions Clark about his "friendship" with Lex, and what in the heck did they ever have in common... :P

Sitting here looking for things to comment on :) I'm only halfway through Season 5 with 6 in the post somewhere.. heh, I've been having a marathon for the last month, watching what others had to wait 6 years for. I suck, I know XD Anyway, I'm not exactly avoiding spoilers.

So far, from what I've seen of the slowly-turning-evil Lex, it seems like their relationship won't ever be conclusive, and I kind of like that. Why else would they never kill each other? Well, Clark CAN'T kill, but he sure has a way of making it happen when he really WANTS to. But he doesn't with Lex, not even when Lex is fallen president turned criminal. I kind of think the confusion built up in Smallville suits that. We've figured that Lex is totally in love with Clark, but Clark has turned himself into Superman, with not much left of the sweet Kansas farmboy. I think that hurts Lex more than anything, and he hates Superman for taking Clark away from him. A lot of it also seems to be down to Jonathan Kent's influence in making Clark so stubborn on distrustful. Lex... is just messed up and scared of losing what he loves, and he turns to the only methods he KNOWS. With both of them it's down to their bloody fathers, really!

I hope you'll like this :)

Somewhat inspired by Batman and any time Clark wears a suit, therefore including your friends-only picture XD And of course, dedicated to you and the need for a happy ending for these two :)
