I’m so pissed off right now that I can barely muster up the words to express it. I’ll just keep this as short as possible. Season 7 of Smallville, overall, was a decent season. It had many moments that made me very excited about where the show was going—until today, when the CW finally revealed the series’ destination: straight down the toilet. Just thinking about how crappy the season finale was is making my blood pressure go up, so I’m just going to list off the reasons why, then I’m going to see if I can find a better show to flush out all the bullshit I just absorbed. Here’s a short list of why Smallville’s latest season finale was complete garbage:
1. More commercials than show. Maybe the CW thought we’d get so confused from all the advertising that we’d actually believe the episode was going somewhere…
2. Full of corny and sappy moments between characters I really could care less about in this particular episode.
3. Cut to commercial.
4. Predictable plot twists. Brainiac gets “killed”… again… and I’m sure he’ll be back… again.
5. Nothing exciting happens at all.
6. Cuts to commercial again.
7. Holy stupid, stupid, stupid, anti-climatic endings, Batman!
8. Once again, the writers of the show manage to keep Clark Kent’s character lame and un-superman-like. I thought Lana’s character was bad, but Clark is catching up quickly—almost with super-speed.
9. I lost an hour of my life that I will never get back.
10. Most of that hour was filled with stupid commercials that nobody gives a shit about!
Is there anyone out there that was actually able to extract something good from this season finale? I’d love to know… or, who agrees this episode was complete and utter crap—possibly the worst episode of the show since it began? Leave comments!

Shut up
what the hell are you on about…it was GREAT!
season 7.. WELL THERES LANA!!!
and more lana!!! hahaha now that u say this shes gone xD so u suck.. plz..
Well for one, I thought the season finale was great. It wasn’t too much, but it wasn’t dreadful and boring. And here are a couple of reasons as to why i have this OPINION:
(i’m going backwards- be aware of that)
1. DUDE chill out. The show aired its standard 41 minutes and there was not a single difference in the number of commercials.
2. Lana is leaving! This means Clark can finally let go of those yesteryears, which did not have him embracing his destiny, plus he can connect with Lois .
3. The Lex story (in terms of him finding out clark’s secret) is finally closed.
4. All the mini “sappy” moments or whatever you like to call them were actually important in determining what was to come in the episode: for instance how Braniac made a Kara impersonation and told Lex pretty much how to control the Traveler…
5. And if the episodes were so predictable perhaps you shouldn’t have wasted your time watching…
6. And the Braniac/Chloe scene was very important as it is one of the reasons why Season 8 is going in its fabulous direction.
7. One thing we can agree on is the writers. But I’d still like to disagree at some length. While the current writers’ writings surpass the energy and excitement level than the previous ones, the scripts were still not bad and it obviously kept you watching for this long.
8. Finally, if you really want to put yourself out there and say smallville sucks, please have better reasons than too many commercials, nothing exciting, and too predictable because that gets REALLLLY OLD.
