Smallville Finale - SPOILERS!!

[Beefmeister]

Oh. My. God.

I'm a 34 year old powerfully built man, but watching that final episode I will happily admit I was bouncing up and down on the sofa clapping and whooping like a....well, and American actually.

I'll put the next bit in Spoiler tags in case someone didn't quite get the title bit:



Seeing him fly finally, and donning the outfit was brilliant! Especially seeing Clarke turning himself into the CK that we all know throughout the last few episodes.

I'm gutted that there'll be no more, but we all know the stories from now on, Smallville was always all about the journey from child to the man in blue that we all 'know'.

It was a bit weak that he killed the biggest baddie ever by simply pushing it away, but I suppose it was all about him flying and realising his full potential.



Am I a geek for loving Smallville? Yes.

Do I care? Hell no!!

[Beefmeister]

Sheesh, am I the only Smallville fan on here?

Or do people just not want to read the spoilers?

[MagicalTrevor]

I followed Smallville at the start but lost track of what was going on. I wondered how it would all end (well it was pretty obvious but I mean the way in which they'd get there)

Maybe I should rent/buy the DVDs

i have loved smallville aince the first season, cannot wait to see how they finish the series off.

[ChipsAndCheese]

I was a bit disappointed by the finale tbh. I have watched the series all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I expected a bit more from the final episode.


I was expecting a big battle with Darkseid, but it never really happened. And it all felt a bit tacky and ultra cheesy (even by Smallville standards) right at the end. It was good to finally see the costume in use though, and was good to have the original Lex Luthor back as well.


I'll perhaps give it another watch and see if I like it more second time around.

I watched the last episode a couple of weeks ago and was a bit ho hum about it. It was a good enough ending. Let's hope they do something else comic related that lasts longer than one season.

Who was the ultimate bad guy?
And two actors played Lex? How come?

Lex was killed in season 9 (8?), but there were clones made from his DNA. There's Alexander, who was a small kid that grew up very fast. When he got to 16 (body-wise) they realised he had half Lex DNA, half Clarke's DNA, so he had powers. Luckily this stopped the accelerated aging and (handily) wiped his memory from before then. He moved to Washington with Martha to be a superhero there.

But Lionel Luthor (from an alternate universe, natch) took all the best bits of the cloned Lexi, and made one good one, which used his own heart. This one was the Lex we all knew, baldy head and all.

But in a mini-showdown with Clarke he just said "we're always going to be enemies, right until the end" and they parted ways. He wasn't Clarke's biggest issue at the time.

The main 'baddie' at the end was Darkside, and this came in the form of a whole evil planet type thing about to crash to earth, attracted by Human's darkness within. The big thing with this, was that the only way to defeat it is if Clarke learned to fly. Which he did, and he pushed it away, in the full Superman costume.

Phew.

I too am a powerfully built 34 year old man and i am also a big Smallville geek!

I haven't seen any of this season though due to work so i will just buy the box set and watch it in a day .

ETA: I think we have a bit more in common, i am also a project manager and spend a fair amount of time in New Delhi, Noida to be exact.

He became Conner Kent, aka Superboy.

Wikipedia said:

In 1993, DC introduced a new, modernized Superboy, a teenage clone of both Superman and Lex Luthor, also known by his Kryptonian name Kon-El and his secret identity as Clark's cousin Conner Kent... This Superboy made his Smallville debut on Friday, March 4th, 2011 in the episode "Scion." In this episode (as in the comics), Conner is a clone made up of both Lex and Clark's DNA, and has several of Superman's powers.

There was also an older Lex clone who had aged prematurely near the beginning of the series, so I think 3 different versions of Lex this series. It was great to see Michael Rosenbaum (the original Lex) return to the role for the final epsiode.

I watched this final season on the t'interweb cos I was fed up of waiting for it to come on E4.

I've watched it from the start and love it, have to say that Lois is my fave, though Lana in lingerie was a special moment

Thought the last episode was a good one, and about bloody time! Will miss it
