SMALLVILLE “Doomsday” Season 8 Episode 22 (Season Finale)

jimmy diedd =[ SOOO UPSET ughh i hope this isnt when clark leaves for 7 years andfinally learns to fly.. ugh. andn terible doomsday and superman battle. andd zod is back? oh jeez.

This episode was RIDICULOUS
HORRID
So disjointed and horribly put together as to be worse than refuse.
Chloe, sure not a super krypton brain but she HEALS people …HELLO?
What’s with the interaction of all the superheros
Davis Doomsday split and each ending was so painful to watch (in so much as I HAD anticipated it would be good, thought out, interesting)
Smallville is my favorite show (was a tie with Stargate SG-1 but since that’s gone – and SG Universe looks like a joke – What on earth was this nonsense?
and I’ll agree with the above…… Zod back? What on earth? That’s just pathetic….. I suppose it could still be the alternative and could just be a representative of the best of krypton – but that would be pathetic also…….

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE………………………………………………………..

It’s almost like they WANT to piss off the fans so we will be ok with it being over………….. almost like they WANT to tick us off so much we will be happy if they actually give up now and don’t do the agreed upon next season.

As much as i love smallville, im sorry to say but this episode was horrible. I dont understand why chloe didnt heal jimmy and the whole fight with clark and doomsday was 1 minute long. these new writers have really messed up this show. season 8 had its moments but has been by far the worst smallville season. anyone else agrees?

I was expecting a good wrap up to a good season. But, what we got was THIS?? The only lose end tied up was Jimmy finding out he was right all along. . .and then they kill him off. Hey look, it’s the Legion. . .but wait, not really. And then Lois finds the ring and is gone. Davis is played out to be a truly good guy when he’s human, and then he kills off the guy that we grew to like. That didn’t fit his character, other than the fact that he was getting annoying about the “Oh Chloe, don’t go away” b.s. I’m glad they killed him off, I’m sure lot’s of fans were just about tired of him. Tess on the other hand, good character development. . .but poor direction in the finale. She fights Lois, and that’s it til the end with the whole Zod thing cropping up again. Great. . .just what we need. 70 years of Superman lore and they go back to Zod again?? Now Kandor was a great step in the right direction, but we’ll see where that goes. Oh and one final note: the whole flying thing. This is getting ridiculous. I was at Comicon 08 and was at the discussion for this season of Smallville, and the developers were asked DIRECTLY if Clark would fly, and they said the rule of ‘no tights, no flights’ will be changed to just ‘no tights’ this season. Great follow through guys. Want to know what a good season finale is? Watch the finale for Supernatural. It wrapped up all loose ends for the season and left a huge cliffhanger to deal with next season.

So after the entire seasons build up to Doomsday, what an epic battle. Where the F did Lois go? Are the writers running out of ideas or do they just want to continue beating a dead horse with the return of Zod? If they wanted to bring back a previous villain, why not Bizzaro? At least then they could revise the character and make him more true to original superman lore. was it my imagination, or was clark flying in the opening scene? I am a fan of Smallville but an even bigger fan of superman, if this series continues to crank out crap shows, I’m going to stop watching. They are doing a disservice to the Man of Steel. this is sacrilege.

I thought the ending was good. It was just to start off the next season and to project Clark into his Superman persona. If you do not like watching Smallville then leave, but do not be leaving these comments like “end it already” when there are others who rely on this show and look forward to it every week. I think it was great show, as it will set up a HUGE season nine and made many things possible. You people are missing the point. Smallville is NOT about Superman, it is about the character and skills he developed along the way. I wish he would have told Lois his secret along with other things, but I know that the producers want to make Season 9 really big. Being that this has been a nine-year show, I am sure they want to end it with a bang.

The first time I saw the episode I was disappointed. But then I saw it again at a later time on another channel and I actually thought it was really good. Think about it. What will next year’s season bring? Don’t worry about Doomsday, he’ll come back to fight Clark Kent when he’s actually Superman. What’s really cool about this episode is that Clark has now lost his human side. Lois, who most likely has gone to a future 1000 years ahead of the present, will likely see a different kind a Superman (one who’s lost touch with his alter ego Clark Kent) meaning that perhaps Superman and Lois don’t hook up to become the legendary couple we all know and love. What will happen then? Will the Legion tell her that she and Clark belong together? Will she be the one who will bring back Clark Kent? Think about how great and heartfelt their reunion will be when she returns to the present time. We’ll probably know just how much Clark adores and misses Lois. Remember, we still got another season to go and hopefully a 10th. I think they did a great job. I’ll miss Jimmy though. I hope they bring him back somehow. I mean they did say the deaths will stick but they didn’t say for how long. I’ll guess we’ll see what happens in Season 9.

A few things puzzled me but I was poking around at the Smallville wiki and read that Chloe hasn’t been seen using her healing ability since Brainiac possessed her. In “Odyssey” she tried to heal Clark but couldn’t and did not even offer to heal Ollie in “Toxic” so she must have lost that ability.

And in the episode “Committed” Jimmy revealed that the story of his past he had told Chloe was a lie.
http://smallville.wikia.com/wiki/Jimmy_Olsen#Early_LifeSo perhaps when he reinvented himself Henry James started going by James/Jimmy. He might still be known to his family as Henry which could be how his younger brother James Bartholomew also goes by Jimmy Olsen.

“You must be Jimmy’s little Brother” Chloe said. What! She was going to marry Jimmy, and she never met his little brother! How is this possible. I know we didn’t know about him because he was a surprise, but this is a sibling of the man she almost married. Also, the man with “little brother” must be the father.
If Chloe hadn’t seen the “little brother” until that point, then she didn’t see the father until that point too, since it’s obvious at a funeral the boy and Father wouldn’t have been seperated. My point being that she didn’t even acknowledge the FATHER of Jimmy or the “Little Brother” Does that make any sense. The more I think about it, the more mad I get. It’s just terrible writing.

I’m not gonna lie, smallville is not in my top 3 of shows but i like it. and i am not an expert on comic heroes but i know a few things ( and by few only the major things in the history)

first of let me get off my chest. I hate these ridiculous filler episodes that really have nothing to with the show. Example: Lana Lang is now a super hero!? but now can never be next to clarck again cause she is filled with kriptonite. why…..why….. why can’t they just say goodbye. why does it have to be some devestating, permanent event that says they can never be together. even super hero show have got to have boundries. especially when you are makiong a story about one of the greates heroes of all time.

i know the show is called smallville. but its still about kent AKA superman.
if they wanted to make up random stuff then they should of named it something els, or stop using characters the superman fights. Chloe has gotta go. I like her character which means i like the actress for playing so well. but she will get jobs in other shows or movies. lets move on. this would be my favorite show if they got rid of the filler episodes and put a cap in some of these random things they do, like creating a jimmy olsen character then changing it half way through cause they don’t like him or some uknown reason that we don’t know about. that was the worst season finally of any show i have ever watched. 21 episodes to hype doomsday up and they end it in a 1 minute fight with an explosion.

like i said, i don’t read comics. but i remember it on the news when they announced the death of super man. it was almost like he was a real person. people crying, flowers being lade out. people were so upset, that he had to bring back superman. and then you have (fill in spot) to end it like that. I was mad about how they ended bizzaro (which i believe season 6 finally was the best they had) but this is just horrible. and let the man fly already.

sometimes watching the show, i feel like the writers are the same people who write for one life to live, generals hospital, and as the world turns. if you
have to many episodes to work with. then do what lost did and drop to 16 episodes.

sorry this was long, but i have been holding that for 8 years. tom welling will be the guy i imagine when i talk about superman, and the green arrow is slowly taking over batmans’ spot as my favorite super hero. this shows gotta be great, cause if you can have writters mess it up this bad, and i can still watch it, then the show (and actors for that matter) must be at the top of the list. i will be expecting a lot of people to yell at me, all i can say is i am sorry, i just had to throw that out there and i hope you don’t stay mad. sorry for the horrible spelling but that’s why i am a soldier and not a writter.
