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.

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

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.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better.

This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
