    ^ Something like that. It's really a mute point now. I'm kind of curious how they're going to depict Darkseid. I guess they're using John Glover?

    Maybe this is how no one will know that Clark and Superman are one in the same. Clark will use someone that looks like Brandon Routh as the vessel for Superman. :lol:

    For some reason they love the "avatar"/vessel thing.

    It's cheaper than hiring new actors to guest star.

    Lana and the French Witch Bitch?

    Excellent, this was Superman all the way with the Legion of Doom, Granny Goodness, Kara, Toyman. Very cool. I bet Lex is behind the Legion. The finale will be Justice Leage Vs. Legion of Doom I hope. With Clark taking on Darksied.

    ^ The Justice League are not in the finale, and as mentioned by Greg Cox, the LOD was probably just a nod to the future villains Clark will fight when he's Superman. Darkseid is the primary villain in the finale, along with the Hordes of Apokolips.

    Hordes = six or seven extras wearing black hoodies.

    Considering everything Jor-El has done, from the Evil Jor-El days to his recent actions, I can't understand why Clark hasn't pulled the plug earlier.

    Or why he went to "ask permission" from a robot who has been anything from between a dick and crazy.

    Shutting down the fortress a week earlier would have saved Kara from Exile.

    How come if Kara is so strong she responded like a good dog and did what the house PC told her to, but Clark killed the bugger? Sounds like Jor-El was massaging Kara's ego, lying to her about why she should go so she would go.

    Survival of the fittest.

    If Kara was the coolest, then it is Clark who should have gone.

    Family frakking politics.

    Jor-El's side of the family has his thumb on the scales compared to Zor-El.

    No level playing field at all.

    Wow... This was bad!

    Really glad I haven't been watching Smallville since it stopped airing on TV over here.

    Thought of watching the ending just to see how it wraps up... Really hope that its a lot better than whatever this was supposed to be...

    Not only was it boring, but man, how stupid can you be?, When you have friggin superpowers, you don't willingly become some "evil genius" slave. Heck, I wouldn't give my own neighbor that kind of power over me, what the heck did she suspect would happen when she gives it to someone dangerous enough to warrant his own Hannibal Lecter cell.

    Jeesh, and boo hoo, now she doesn't want to marry him. You know what?, I hope they don't marry. I don't want any of her stupid genes passing on to kids with super powers.

    Well, here's hoping that the final is good.

    The Mallrats way of thinking suggests that the baby will kick it's way out of her stomach at the first hint of a sun tan, meanwhile the only way Clark could get inside her without causing irreparable harm is to use a kyptonite condom, which would kill him.

    (Clark used to wear Green Kryptonite sewn into his uniform so that he could play football fairly.)

    Kara has big problems too since her body will not move or stretch to make room for a growing fetus, so her kid will be smothered during it's first cell division, and that's not even if the body's immune system doesn't kill any incoming sperm.

    Kryptonians are a dead race.

    (Yes, I am aware of blue Kryptonite and what it does and how it works, but that's hardly funny. Blue steel? No. Not funny.)
