Admittedly, I need to catch up a bit but I just simply cannot believe the end scene from Persuassion (Smallville's last ep). I just. How did that even air? How is anyone supposed to (or I should say, "still") buying this is the "real" Clark Kent? Whom even thought this plotline was a good idea? Part of me isn't even shocked they want an s10 and

Oh, I think saying Smallville sucks is an over simplification here by a lot. A LOT.

I don't think the writers didn't think. I think they've thought a lot. I think this choice is on purpose. I don't believe for a second it's an accident. I think it's a ~plan~ and that is why they need an s10 so badly.

I just think it's a bad narrative choice. I get that Clark was too Super-last year in a way and so they are trying to give him a new "Belly of a Whale" -- I just think the HOW is badly done. The audience isn't let in on what is going on. Unlike Chloiac where we could wait and root for someone to find out, we're still looking for admission.

The issue here is it makes s9 mostly water treadding and water tread while making Clark unsympathetic.

However more than ever if they have ans s10 they'll need the character of Chloe to help clean up this mess.

I think they HAD to go to that extreme because the deniers kept saying he was heroic; The irony is they STILL are even AFTER such a BLATANT and INTENTIONAL extreme.

Yes. IT's sad. And it's meant the whole season is a moneypit.
