Smallville S10 Ep 21-22 - The finale, the end, after 10 years. What can I say, it was brilliant. Finally get to see him as Superman, if briefly. Sad that its over and happy that it ended so awesomely. The end highlighted one problem, and that was how awesome the show could have been had they done him as Superman earlier, highlighted some seriously wasted potential. Loved it though and it was great that they got most of the main cast members back especially Schneider as Jonathan Kent. The Jonathan Kent potrayal that everyone will have to compete against, so Kevin Costner's got some big shoes to fill.
I would not call it brilliant by any means. Decent at best, and definitely the highlight of the season (which is pretty sad). The classic Superman theme really made the last scene great.
-There was no real fight for Clark which is saddening.
-Green Lanterns dispatch of the Darkseid fiends was lame
-Too much unnecessary talking: such as the vows being repeated twice??
- Frankly, what they did to Lex pretty much negates him as one of the best, if not the best character in the series, and also makes the 7 seasons Lex was in the show meaningless.
I'm sorry, but what they did to Lex is a complete cop-out for the entire show... renders some of the best scenes useless and what made Smallville so great: the relationship between Lex and Clark.
Like I said... I think it was a decent finale... but the Lex thing seriously shows hurts the validity of the show in its entirety, and that is not what you want from a series finale.
Very poor decision...
