Smallville season 8 finale review

It's about time they let Clark fly.
I was disappointed about the fight.
You'd think they would drag it out to at least 1 minute.
Give the fans 60 seconds of a long awaited slug fest.
Seriously!

Yea that sucked and I love this show but that was one of those WTF moments

I agree this season finale was a huge buzzkill
i thought we were gonna c clark and doomsday throw down all ova metropolis and wats up with lois putting on the legion ring and transporting to the future thats wack
and the part that made me mad was when clark jus says that clark kent is dead how is this gonna work for the next season i would have liked it if they left a cliffhanger like last season

Why is everyone always knocking Smallville? This show is the best on TV, I agree this may not have been the best season but with the creators and Rosenbaum gone for this season I think the new team has done a pretty good job so far.

For those who follow the comics you'd understand that #1 - Jimmy is 10 years younger than Clark, so to clean that up by having the younger brother as the Jimmy we all know makes sense, so stop complaining. #2 - At this stage in Clark's life he's not the full hero he should be, so for him to go toe to toe with Doomsday would not be fight, it would be a full slaughter on Doomsdays part. Having Doomsday burried underground also makes sense since Doomsday was underground when he escaped and came after Superman in he comics. It also explains why Doomsday was so determined to kill Superman, because now we know that Clark was the one who had him trapped underground for all those years in the first place. #3 - It has been said earlier in the season that Davis was the spitting image of his father Zod, so to have Sam Witwer play Zod also makes sense...I just hope he resembles the Zod we know from the movies. #4 - Clark has spent the past 8 seasons trying to run away from his Kryptonian heritage, all he wanted was to be normal, to be human! Now with the events that have taken place in this episode he's forced to except who he really is, a Kryptonian living amongst humans, with this being said he will be closer to being Superman than he ever was. Superman doesn't try to forget who he is, instead he embraces where he's from, how he was raised and what he's meant to do. Hopefully that's what we'll see in the next season, Clark embracing his full destiny, and realizing that he needs to be the savior that the human race needs. He'll be the hope that inspires humans to walk away from their inner dark side and strive to do good in the world, and not chose to let their dark side lead them the way it has for Lex and Davis....Don't get me started cause I go on and on defending Smallville!

sigh...im tired of people having to contemplate whether he is flying or just leaping. can we get something definitive please? Clark was traveling across town and sleep "walking"(flying)/floating above his bed, etc., way back in like seasons 1 and 2. this is pretty ridiculous

Amen to Kryptonian Rage. I watched everyseason of Smallville and still today i watched season 1-8, I loved 8 it was good. Mercy, Kandor spoiler in there with the orb! but hey the flying thing that was a leap, look at the episode "Lucy" season 4 when clark leaped on to that truck same leap, even early in season 8 when he leaped on that building after zantanna! he anit flying yet guys. look smallville has had it's up and downs but hey its a show. and yes its a great one. next bring facts guys before downgrading something.

Why would Zod be in the orb, and more importantly, why the hell would they bring him back? He's already been a villain. They are doing exactly what they did with Brainiac! Brainiac would die, but then not be dead. Over and over again. Zod should be in the phantom zone or in Clark's crystal or whatever, not in the orb that is supposed to control Clark. Does anyone really want to see Zod again? Or would you rather have a new and different villain.
And with the whole Jimmy thing. It wouldn't have been a big deal if 1) they hadn't tried so damn hard to make "Henry" James Oslen, fricken Jimmy Olsen. They should've hinted that he wasn't the "real" Jimmy Olsen. and 2) why couldn't they have at least introduced the brother?? Oh my mistake that I thought that some guy who's name is Jimmy Olsen, takes photos for the Planet, calls Clark CK, and teams up with Lois was Jimmy Olsen. My bad!
And the fight! What fight? I am pissed that they didn't even fight. But it would have been nice for them to explain that Doomsday is stuck underground or something! All they did was say that Clark "searched the entire earth" or whatever and couldn't find him. Soo weak.
I love Smallville but they have been leading to the Clark/Doomsday face off all season and it wasn't a face off at all. It was uber dissappointing. Season 9 WILL be better. I trust them that much. But I am sick of dissappointment from this show.

lol. and the orb is to control clark yes..but you remeber when lex was the vessel to zod. it was suppose to be clark but fine went to lex. look i think zod will be good a villian for season 9. Look i think whe clark left at the end of season 8...I think he's ethier going to africa or the fortress. you remeber in the comics clark went to africa for a little while then came back to become superman. or just go to Jor-el. we just have to wait and see!!!

@joNathanPetrelli They can't kill of major villains. Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday. They are all an unstoppable force in the Superman lore. If Smallville actually killed any of them off, it would utterly destroy the show's fanbase.

@Kryptonian Rage
I didn't mean to totally trash the show. I really love smallville and I've been a die hard fan for 8 years. But, like you said, it wasn't the greatest season. Its just I know they could do SOO much better. I mean, they have in the past! I'm just rather frustrated with the show lately but there is no way I'm going to stop watching cuz I love the show. Smallville made me love Superman!! But overall, I really do love the show and the characters and, most of the time, the writers. :D

What people forget is if Clark had any longer of a fight seen with doomsday HE WOULD BE DEAD! He's not superman yet. He would get annihilated as he is now. As for the rest of the show I was a little disappointed with the whole "Clark Kent is dead" garbage. Something similar seems to happen at the end of every season.
