Scion Screentime Minutes, and Thoughts

[jeannev]

 I'm really starting to wonder if I'm judging SV eps based on their content, or if I'm judging them based on a curve against the rest of the season.  Because taken alone, and just judging it for what it was, I think I wouldn't be overly find of Scion.  But judging it against the rest of the season, and some of the horrible stuff we've gotten, I

Yeah, I guess in the end, it really doesn't matter what becomes of Conner. He was ultimately just another character that DC got live action exposure out of and that went to take more focus off of Clark anyway. I'm convinced that DC has been running this show since Season 8 and Souders/Peterson have just been following orders except when it comes to the romantic relationships aspect.

I forgot to mention this before, but Lois/Clark really do come off as a couple that has been married for years. I brought this up a few months ago, but if a viewer has missed Harvest/Ambush, they'd have no clue that Lois/Clark have had "bonding time". They both have just been reduced to eye candy and "looking pretty". Very, very boring.

Your theory about the writers makes a lot of sense. I've said a few times by now that it appears as if they've been in vacation mode for a while, but it makes sense that they are now more concerned with follow-up opportunities rather than finishing this series off in a half decent way. I've known for a good while that they really haven't cared about Clark on this series, and this final season is proof of that. The MO seems to be to deliver the "Clois", toss in as many DC characters as possible, and then maybe give something for Clark to do in the finale. I'll watch until the end anyway, but I've already figured Season 10 to be the worst season ever - yes, even worse than what went down in Season 8, which I didn't think could have ever been possible.

I think the reason S10 will go down as one of the worst seasons for me is because its a gigantic disappointment. And the final season of a show is NOT the time to suck. Yeah, maybe S6, S7 & S8 were worse, but they weren't the last, which meant there was always time to come back from those. But this is it. And this is what they deliver? I'm constantly amazed at how inept they are.

Like you, if I hadn't seen Harvest and Ambush, I don't know that I'd assume that Clark and Lois were having sex. Because they never, ever give of that "Oh, I can't wait to get you alone..." vibe. Ever.
