In the flashbacks, or future visions (future!backs?) we have a Clark Kent who has cut himself off from everybody including Chloe and Oliver - and guess what. It's because he's such an asshole. Yup, he doesn't want to not see them because they were lying cheating sorry excuses for 'friends' last year, nope. He cut himself off because of Lois. "It's not their fault." Clark "turned his back" on them. Hate! Because here we actually have a valid reason for Clark, as a person in who he is, going emptionally MIA, but none of those reasons were allowed to be considered legitimate. YES!!! That scene really bugs. They had the perfect chance to deal with the aftermath of Oliver & Chloe's actions from last season and it gets dropped.
As of 'Doomsday' while Clois had grown extremely close, certainly, that intense romantic bond that formed this year especially from Clark' side, wasn't there. So while I can understand Lois' emotional state since we know she's been in love with him since early S8, I didn't underatand Clark'. This was a huge issue for, and really took me out of the ep. It was irritating because we can see how they feel about each other right now. There's no need to re-write how they felt about each other then. The relationship is strong enough.
And since we're on the superpowered persuasion, there also happens to be another certain someone zipping around somewhere with powers - Lana. All it would take was one line of explanation about Lana, maybe she tried & failed to take down Zod and is dead in this time-line.

And both the above perfectly help illustrate one of the SV writers greatest weakness - their inability to strike balance. Either they'll completely drop a storyline or they'll ram it home to ad nauseum.
Speaking of Lana and others who failed to be mentioned - I'll just add MM to that list too.
