Disappointed for the most part would be the best way for me to sum it up [weep] .

Copied from the other Smallville thread:

Not gonna lie, the finale left me very underwhelmed. To be fair I dropped the show around season 6, so some of the emotional resonance they were looking for simply isn't a factor for me (eg. I know nothing about Tess).

Agree with all of your Cons, but I'd actually move your Darkseid Pro to the Cons, I didn't think he looked that great. Add in the talk about souls and it made me feel like they pulled him from the Mortal Kombat movie.

As for the suit. It has to be part of the legal complications they are having with the Superman family. That is the only reason I can think as to why they wouldn't show Tom from head to toe in the suit.
They probably did it to get around some legal crap.
Either way it was one major thing that spoiled the finale for me:(.

How can they have a finale to Smallville without a mention to Nuclear Man? [mad]

I liked the last 60 seconds or so of the episode, the epilogue with the music and what not.

I suppose I'm going to be the minority on the board, but I loved it. I thought it was a great way to end the series. I never thought they would show him in a full view of the suit simply because the producers always said the show was about Clark's evolution and never about Superman.

While I will agree that the fight with Darkseid was a bit anticlimactic, the rest of the show made up for that for me. I would also add a pro to the very nice frame story they had of Chloe reading the Superman story to her son seven years in the future. I thought that was a nice way to wrap up her character nicely. I would have liked a bit more explanation on why, after the series ends, Chloe disappears for years from the mythology until her recent introducion into the comics (which is totally different from her role on the show). If the producers wanted to end it in a way that would lead into the comics and movies, they should have provided an explanation for why her friendship with Clark and, even more importantly, her marriage to Oliver and her creation of Watchtower has never been part of the DC history.

Ah...thank you Kritus for another Con for me. Sooooo Chloe has a comic book that looks mass produced that explains everything that happened in the Episode. Yeah that makes perfect sense. So there is a issue that tells all of Clarks secrets that were revealed in the final episode:p.

It almost smelled of Saint Elsewhere, if anyone gets the reference.

I'll give the season a b+ but the episode a c-.
