I... just want to slip in here and give you a sincere *hug*. I know I can't make any of this right for you, but I am sorry you are so distressed.
I feel like crying after what they did to Lex, Chloe, Oliver, and Clark
And after years of setting Clana up for parting for actual reasons relating to their relationship, they may as well have just written Clana as happy true love for the past 7 seasons because the only reason they split was for external reasons. I can't even *head meet desk*

uhm, i am really bad at comforting people, let alone friends, but
*hugs boppy*
maybe its better, if you think of SV canon just a canon from an AU universe?
like nothing to do with the comics, or with the movies and the other show?
I really liked the new adventures of lois and clark.
and well, in my mind, in that universe, lois is like the first true love of superman, and will forever remain so.

Lex is alive ... this I firmly believe ... He is in on a deserted island somewhere waiting for when Clark is ready to take over the world with him ...
*sigh*

I was dreading the whole Lana arc, but it has proved to be MUCH worse than I could have ever anticipated! And this episode was so WRONG on so many levels!
I really don't understand what these writers and producers were thinking. Did they really believe they were doing a good job? Unless they wanted the faithful fans, who have been watching for eight years, to hate the show, I don't know what they pretended with this episode. If their goal was to ruin the characters and every good thing they had accomplished this season, then they have succeeded.
What a waste, what a shame, and what a disservice to the characters and to us!

A hundred times yes.
I can't decide whether it's worse because it's completely unbelievable that it's their LAST BREAKUP EVER, as opposed to all the other LAST BREAKUP EVERs, or whether I'm willing to believe that no, this one is for real, seriously.

THIS.
But most especially this: Superman?! Kind of redundant seen as how Lana can do it better.
Yeeaahhh.....W. T. F.

It's totally their LAST EVER BREAKUP... unless Lana finds a way to pull the Kryptonite out of her system. She does that, you know she'd go back. So that she and Clark can manage to break up in yet another ridiculously contrived way in the future.
I agree, Boppy. This has truly been the first time Smallville has disappointed me with an episode, as I always try to play Devil's Advocate with the writers..I am just wondering why they went the direction they did after having so many OTHER outlets that they could of had gone through..don't even get me started on Oliver and his actions..*headdesk*
A plus though-I loved the Toyman character from the comics..well played and acted.
Another plus..Lois WILL be back..and SOON...

OH PREACH IT SISTER. Last night's episode was just HORRIBLE. Horrible. On so many, many levels. (And didn't it even feel like a little bit boring underneath everything? Like so incredibly non-epic for an episode where they fucking kill everyone off and character assassinate them all? I mean why did we need to waste time on the guy with the doll. What was that even about?)
I felt like all the huge decisions were made in like two seconds. Oh Lana has to become human kryptonite? Um...two seconds later...ok! Sure! Let's do it.
We need to kill Lex?...two seconds later...Why not! So what that Ollie was never a villain before.
Chloe is completely just frigging OFF. Just more unlike Chloe than she's been in ages. And this is post-Brainiac so what fucking gives?
This show, man. I don't even like it much and I'm ranting. (And where is my boy Davis? Can we go get him out of the ice coma now since he's the only thing worth watching on this entire season? Pls?)
I have no idea how they're going to wrap this shit up but I kind of just hope they go whole hog and have Doomsday annihilate them all.

And me, completionist who I am, is SERIOUSLY considering bailing on the rest of the season. It's not my show any more and nothing will redeem this.
My advice, Boppy (and take it as you will): Don't give out on the show just yet. It will get better, Boppy..maybe it won't make up for the last couple weeks indistrections, but it will get better. A certain intrepid reporter will be making her way back on March 5th, which I am sure will boost the moral of many SV viewers (myself included!)

I'm so glad I stopped afte Season 5. So very glad!
*looks at the comments*
Damn it, I wanted to get out of from beneath the rock already.

I'm still in shock. It's like the writers sat down and thought up of how to go out of their way to crap on everything and everyone.
I'd love to read your rant, and I think you should. I have ranted a-plenty about the last two eps, and it is strangely cathartic.

In the beginning (see the Pilot), Clark yearned for Lana but she was kryptonite to him. Eight years later (see this episode), Clark still yearns for Lana but she is kryptonite to him.
Eight years just to get back to the same starting place. :flabberghasted:
Was this just a waste of my time? I could watch the stock car races go around and around the same old track and go further than this.
And Lex is DEAD? DEAD? All those times that Clark rescued him (and Kara rescued him) from death, Lex still ends up DEAD. Only later instead of sooner. Lex could have just died in the Pilot.
What was the meaning of this show? That all is Garbage?
All those broken toys in the Toyman's Toy Chest. All these broken characters in Smallville. These writers are too ironic and clever by half. They forgot to tell a good story.

Yeah. :/ I can't even find the words for how disgusted I am.
I just ... why did it have to go this way? There was so much potential ... and they just threw it all away.

I was never much of a Lana fan, but I actually really wanted her to come back and was looking forward to her final arc. And this is what I got. *angry*
I wouldn't say the whole season has been ruined for me, but it did make pointless everything I loved about season 8 up until now. It was like all that progress was for NOTHING, especially wrt Clark. *grr*
I want Lois to now stay the hell away from Clark. Thing is though (and this isn't a spoiler, so don't worry) I have a sneaky suspicion that she will stay away from Clark and start focusing on the Red and Blue Blur, which is going to be PS3's oh-so-little-clever way of starting the "classic" chase. Whatever - I don't want Lois falling for the Red and Blue Blur either since I know it's Clark.
It took PS3 - in two episodes - to do something Al & Miles were never able to do in seven years: convince me that Clark Kent and Lana Lang are meant to be together. Clark is so masochistic when it comes to her, and they both are just so co-dependent they deserve each other IMO. Just keep Lois out of and far away from it.

I agree.
Would also love to read your rant, Boppy. It will help..a LOT.

Nail. On. Head. I said on another board that the writers were too interested in writing and doing clever metaphors in this episode that to actually write the characters consistently with actual, logical character growth and development. "Mature breakup for Clark and Lana? No, that's too boring! Lets play around with and redo the kryptonite metaphor from the Pilot episode instead!"
Idiots.

You have no idea the sheer amount of LOATHING I have for PS3. They gave Clana the STUPIDEST ENDING POSSIBLE, which gives them NO closure, making any woman who comes afterwards second place. Then they massacred Ollie's character. If I knew that they were going to bring him on as a regular only to ruin him, I would've never been that excited. >:(
I felt literally sick inside after watching this episode.

I'm completely miserable. I don't get it. I don't see the need. It completely ruined everything. What was the point? It's this neverending circle. I think they could've done a more mature storyline with Clark and Lana going their seperate ways without ruining Lois and Clark's future because now, it's like Clark will only love Lois because he couldn't have Lana... complete stupidity.
And Oliver! WTH.... I loved Oliver and Clark's friendship and you know this will come back to haunt them and their friendship won't be the same. :(
It's all ruined.

Yes. Everything. Ruined. Correct.
:(((((((((
:(((((((((
I have... SOME idea. I think I have more rage than loathing right now, but the loathing will come.
I can't make up my mind what I'm most upset about. I really can't. Lana? Clana? Clark? Lois? Oliver? LEX?! It was all sickening.

I was a Lana fan and I am so sorely disappointed right now, it's not funny. But it's warring with the MANY other ways in which I am disappointed...
Clark has regressed. Lois is in love with someone who will never love her as much as she loves him and who certainly isn't the slightest bit interested in her right now. And I don't want Lois to come back to that.
ITA re Clana. Yup, they deserve each other. But the thing is, to me those characters we just saw aren't the 'real' Clark and Lana that I have seen grow over the seasons. They're some cardboard cutout version pasted on. I just... this is NOT the ending for them. It's not. I REFUSE.
I also refuse this ending for Lex, this plot for Oliver and this ending for Lana.

SEVEN AND A HALF SEASONS. That's what they threw away.
