I'm not going to bother copy-pasting any of your lines, because (happily enough), we feel the same way about almost everything! :D Well, except Chloe/Ollie, but seeing as I don't know how a big a part it will play next season, that might not end up being significant enough a difference. ;) And I don't think Ollie's dead. We didn't even get a look at who was after him, so I'm pretty sure he'll be okay (maybe just injured/held hostage somewhere), come the season premiere.

So glad to be happy about this show, again! :)

OK, I'm having such a D'OH moment here because honestly I didn't even think of the 'held hostage' scenario. I don't know why my mind automatically went to Teh Death.

And you're right, it's a great feeling being at peace with the show for once and being able to share the squee, rather than crankiness.

Yay! I'm so glad we all seemed to have truly loved this one. I think it ties with 'Commencement', for me, and ever so slightly edges the S1, 2 and 3 finales actually. And it's miles ahead of the S5, 6 and 7 ones.

Bravo show. Bravo.

//None of that it was your fault crap either.//

Exactly!

//Is AM coming back for season 10 I have heard rumors she will be for a couple of episodes.//

Yeah, now that hiatus has begun, I'm looking forward to catching up on SV news.

//Loved the fight scene in the rain between Z/C very comic booky!//

It was just a great fight - well choreographed and you could tell the actors were really giving it their all.

I've been a bad journal friend, and haven't commented on your last 2 reviews, but I promise I'll be back for a more in-depth commment on this one.

EEEEEE, it was good! And ITA, best since Commencement.

Pfft. We're so beyond all of that. ;-) But I know what you mean, I'd been doing the comment thing, in general, more as a chore lately too, but after this ep, I'm actively seeking out reviews. What a difference a strong, powerful finale makes! Having said that, yes, your comments are always welcome and looked forward to. :-)

I am crazy fangurling Clark and this ep right now, Val. It was that good.

OK, I'm back for a more comprehensive comment. Though it was awfully nice to just want to Squeeeee!!!

One of the great things about this ep was its use of the guest characters. They were cameos, relevant to the story, respectful of the main character and all the while doing themselves justce too. This is why I loved that WT scene so very much. It was actually great to see these characters have differing POV' on the matter - that felt natural to me, and it was nice touch to add in there. Of course they wouldn't all agree, these are individuals not just bringing their own unique powers to the table but also their own unique perspectives. It's how they come to resolve those differences and formulate a plan to act together is what makes them great. I loved that they realized the importance of working together and being strong as a team, and again, perhaps to some it may come off as OTT that they reciprocated Clark' "it was my honor" moment, but I loved it, unabashadly so.I agree with this so much! I've seen people say that their ( ... )

//Oh I love the "It's been an honor" moment. So corny and yet so heartfelt and moving.//

Y'know, while watching that scene, and that moment in particular, I had a feeling you'd like it as much as I did. :-)

I think we can bask in the afterglory of this ep for some time to come. What a tour de force for the cast and crew.
