Smallville Season 8!


Recommended Posts

It would've been much better if Clark got the fortress running before his battle, then he actually dies, but Jor-El teleports him back to the fortress after his "death"... Heals him and starts his training. Just like how Davis was trapped in that pod in the fortress

"My son, you were not prepared, it is time now"

How is going to face off against Zod without training? They keep showing Clark winging it as he goes along, but really... beating Doomsday like that?

Whoa that fight was weak... when Clark was running up to Doomsday I was like: "Hell yes this fight is going to be good" - So I got comfy and watched... but I was very very disappointed. Weak very very weak.. is there any choreography in this show at all?.. if so GET SOME!

Yeah I am disappointed as well.

But this show never had that good of action before either, so I don't know if it's a budget problem or cherography problem, probably the latter, like you said.

My main complaint is it's Rushed.

It should have been 2 hours like all the other shows. Or a 2 parter Season Finale.

More Lois, More Jimmy, More Justice Leaguers, More Legioners, more Tess Mercer and it didn't give anybody enough screen time! :(

They are probably saving the best for the Season 9 Season Premiere, hopefully.

any thoughts on next season?

lois has gone to the future i guess because of the ring

clark is claiming he is no longer clark kent, so will we see superman

will lex be back?

Lois, yes she obviously went into the future. Dunno how that'll play out.

No we won't see Superman until the FINAL episode, that's almost a promise on the shows part.

Lex won't be back until the final few episodes also. At least not the Lex played by Michael R.

If Season 9 is the last, then you'll see those things towards the end of the series next season. But if they go to 10 seasons, don't expect Lex or Clark becoming Superman anytime soon. That doesn't mean Clark won't be doing more Superman things, just that he won't be flying combined with the tights. One or the other, maybe.

yeah, this finale was worse ever.... and let me guess whats next. Clark goes back to past and changes events, Jimmy doesnt die and everyone is happy and it's all nice and peachy again in Dreamland.

And whats up with the meteor rocks and all these syringes and meteor rock bullets and the meteor derived products?

Kriptonite is suppose to be hard to get a hold of, but in these series it seems like every kid can buy it from the local shop.

**** even my three year old niece can kill Superman, just pull out that meteor rock and shove it up his arse.

They really destroyed this show.....

That fight was so poor. All this season they build up to it and it ends in a minute :(

Anyone else think Jimmy's little brother will become the Jimmy of the Superman series? It might explain why the Jimmy in the films/Superman tv eps is so young compared to Clark and Lois and also not break the overall storyline by killing him off.

And they really need to stop with Zod line, it's getting old.

the current writers are they the original for the show, its almost starting to feel like the writers are giving up on the show. The show does have its good moments every now and then, but for the past couple of seasons there has been very slow progression with lots of fillers.

No they aren't the original writers.

While the finale was good, the battle with Doomsday was horrible as others have said. I enjoyed some of the little moments in the episode and the setups for next season. But that fight was just, stupid. Stupid and probably the shortest I've ever seen. The only good thing about it, was Clark getting his ass whipped. Oh and they got Doomsday's look pretty spot on imo. Other than that, bleh.

And the Jimmy thing, god. Don't get me started.

I don't mind Zod coming back, just as long as Clark actually takes him on somehow. I really hope next season we see way more of the Legion and JL guys. I really like the take on them so far. Except for the Green Arrow. What a douchbag he is turning out to be lol

So does anybody else think Clark flew to get away from the explosion? He said he didn't know what happened that allowed him to escape, I assume he flew out but wasn't in full control so he was a little confused as to what was actually happening.

Next season I hope Lois returns from the future to a point in time before the Doomsday fight. This way they can redo the fight so that it's actually interesting.

forgot to mention how the story is unfolding. Lois disappears, Jimmy dies, Chloe is heart broken and Clark runs away.

uh.. way to leave Chloe all alone MR. Hero. they could not of picked the worst time to make Clark Wiser. The whole Jimmy dying was done okay, I am guessing his little brother is called Jimmy JR? Killing Jimmy was a bad move.. he was my favorite character of the show, next was Chloe then Lois Then Clark. So Zod is making a comeback?.. I seriously don't remember how Clark defeated him, do you?

Lois in the future.. I bet the Legion will erase her memory when they find her.

This is what I think should of happened:

There should of been an epic fight, Chloe should of died in the middle of it all, Clark's destiny would start right after Chloe's blood falls to the ground. Lois should of had nothing todo with the Legion ring and going to the future.

Jimmy lives & does not find out about Clark.. he photographs the whole fight with The Red Blue Blur and Doomsday. Doomsday is killed after a long but enjoyable fight.

Tess is in her house and she sees the weird purple lights, she runs around the house to see what it is.. and then we see the "Z" Tess goes blind from the powerful lights coming out of whatever it was the Z was formed around. the camera goes to Tess and we see her eyes slowly burning and turning into just white.. camera fades to black.

This show has No cherography & the story seems to be going back and forward.. If I remember correctly Clark started his training but then was interrupted by Lana... Meh..

I hope the next season is nothing like this one.

will lex be back?

Another way to look at what Clark really meant by "Clark Kent is dead" is that he is really dead. Doomsday really killed him, and it's his Ghost in the cemetary and talking to Chloe. She is special/gifted, she probably can talk to the dead for all we know LOL :p

This show has No cherography & the story seems to be going back and forward.. If I remember correctly Clark started his training but then was interrupted by Lana... Meh..

I TOLD you Lana WASN'T the reason the show was poor, it was always the writers and cherography that aren't that great!

Getting rid of Lana made NO difference in Season 8.

POOR Lana was always a scrapgoat/excuse for the writers to DRAG the show out!!!

How can CW really want a season 10 if this Season Finale is weak like this?

So, unless next season is really really GOOD/STRONG starting with Season Premiere to the midterm, I don't think there will be a Season 10

there won't be a season 10 and from what i hear this show might get cancelled before 9 even starts. last night was a total disgrace to every superman fan out there. every forum i was on was going apesh** last night over this and i mean in a bad way!

there won't be a season 10 and from what i hear this show might get cancelled before 9 even starts.

I don't know about that.

I was majorly disappointed, as well, BUT you gotta at least see Clark don the Superman suit & Fly for REAL before it ENDS for good.

Last night may not be good, but if it ends there, it would be worse!

At least let these 'incompetent' writers finish it on a HIGHER note than last night!

All I am asking is just HIGHER note than last night, for 22-24 more episodes, then be done with the show (NO Season 10)

I am NOT asking for Lost-type of quality, but IF they can prove us wrong I certainly welcome it!!!

Anything is possible, depends on how much talent/effort people treat it with.

you will never see him in the suit, flying yes. the most i can see is him ripping his short open to show the S symbol.

shorter seasons may not be bad. the problem is that the writers have lost a sense of time. clark is now pretty much as old or looks as old as superman did in the last superman returns movie. They really could have ended the show 2 seasons ago if they had not put so many non sense filler episodes in and just focused on the damn story of how clark becomes superman.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
