I liked smallville when it started..but around season four i fell asleep.. woke up and started watching great character drivern shows like supernatural , doctor who,torchwood, lipstick jugle and moonlight.. but sadly they rather cancel those good shows and show crap that has become smallville!! why oh why i ask? moonlight was way better! in the romance department.. they should kill off all the characters in smallville and start over with a brand new series like say metroplis where the gay tom welling is replaced with a great actor ...to be superman ... a man of action and thought like what you see in the batman films!!

For me, these last 4 episodes ruined all hope I had for Smallville. And now this so called last epi of The Lang, (cough-hack-gag) I'll believe that when I see it.

Well, they officially did it, Lois Lane will always be remembered to this generation who grew up watching Smallville, as the woman that Superman and Clark Kent settled for. She will always be known as the one who got Superman by default and rebound.

I do NOT want to see this Lois Lane ever get with this pitiful, pathetic, prideless, spineless, emasculated Clark Kent or Red and Blue Blur. There is in no way enough time for the show to allow time to pass to where he will ever be over The Lang in order to be at peace with himself and then to eventually fall in love with another.
I NEVER imagined me saying this after the stellar first half of season 8 but they need to officially now end the show. I am so disgusted at how they spat all over these characters all for their obsession with KK. I no longer have any interest in seeing what they plan to do to redeem themselves with how they ended those two last night. It's time to remove it from my DVR schedule of recordings. I think I may even change my IMDb signature to...How could DC and WB allow the writers of Smallville to spat all over these characters and their iconic history?

I can hear it already in years to come...
Hey, you are not going to believe this.
What?! What is it?
Guess who the heck Superman is with and ends up marrying!?
Who?
That chick from the Daily Planet that he works with!
No! Are you serious?!
I shet you not!
Her??? Dang man, that's beat.
Well, I guess we can't have it all. He might as well settle for her. But that's okay, we all know she's sloppy seconds, second choice and he got with her by default, you know, the rebound chick since he can't be with his true love.

If anything I feel they are setting up Lana to save Clark from Doomsday, possibly sacrificing herself in the process. Making Doomsday come from a Kryptonian source in the Smallville mythos he may be vulnerable to Kryptonite also.

I've been enjoying this season much more then some of the recent ones. There have been some mis-steps but overall I've found it engaging again at least.

This episode in particular was a good character driven story for me. Though I have to admit the wrap up with Clark and Lana dragged on some compared tot he rest of the story.

I agree with omegapart!cle's response, I liked Lana's return. Maybe it's just cuz I had a crush on since the show started when I was in highschool...but I really like them together, and the breakup was so sad. That last scene was really touching I thought. Oh well, I guess we can't all agree. I will admit it was sorta like it jumped back a few seasons...but it didn't bother me. Fall finale, now that was more 8th season material.

I didn't even watch this episode because I was terrified they were dragging out Clark-and-Lana-sitting-in-a-tree-k-i-s-s-i-n-g. But now that the aforementioned horror show is over, we can possibly move on to leaping over a building in a single bound, Lois&Clark, and Superman. Pretty pleeeease.

I agree this season has been better for everyone except clark. Im tired of seeing him be whiny and defiant of what he can do. always looking to the past, always whining that he can't be super cause his friends will get hurt, even though time after time, its because he refuses that they get hurt. Grow up already. This show should be called Metropolis, just like clark they dont know how to let the old crap go and bring in the new. A drastic change is exactly what this show needs to be great again. I've put too many years to just stop watching. at least its somewhat interesting right now, but if they dont make him start acting more like the BIG S then im bailing. he shouldn't be this stupid.

I miss real Lex and Lois' breasts. The writing for Lex has been kick ass for years. I root for the good guys but I always liked how Lex presented himself and how he said things. Besides that I think this show has been lame for years with completely ridiculous story lines even in a superman/boy universe. I'm waiting for Clark to fly. I hate the running. Does he get dressed at super speed as well? They don't even have him float in his sleep anymore.

I think Requiem was a great episode. Lana is finally gone and we are moving into the Clark and Lois couple. I think they did a great job getting Lana out of Smallville the way they did. Lana can't get close to Clark now and I think that's pretty interesting.

I would love Michael Rosenbaum back, he is a great actor and plays Lex Luthor very well.

I am 100% fan of smallville no matter what. So far I like everything they are doing with the show. I'm not really interested in seen clark with the "Superman uniform" this is smallville not superman movies. Smallville is about superman's early life and I think it's fantastic.

THANKS SMALLVILLE WRITERS.

This episode was better than the previous 2, which were pretty zzzzz to me. The ending with Lana was pretty terrible.

The actor that played the Toyman is also on the show Eureka. He's in his early 30s.

Actually, I can't help but disagree with most of you. I think this season of Smallville has been the best in years.

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to hate it when I first heard what they wanted to do. I'm a long time comic book reader (still am), and when I heard their plans to introduce Doomsday, the absence of Lex, I was dreading this season. But you know what?
It works.
It really works.
The storyline they came up for Doomsday fits beautifully into the world of Smallville. Everyone must remember that the Smallville universe is different then the comic universe, so the same rules don't apply to the show.
The drama has been played up, and the stories have been phenomanal.
My only nitpick is at this point they need to change the name of the show to "Metropolis" since 98% of the action takes place there.
This show has grown up, and contrary to what some of you may think, it's for the better.
