Booster Screentime Minutes, and Deep-ish Thoughts
I really wonder if my feelings about this episode would've been different without the hyping out the wazoo. Because I sort of think that maybe all these advanced reviewers actually got to see a different cut of the episode then me. A better cut. I mean, don't get me wrong, because I do understand that opinions vary, and the SV fandom is very

It's a fact: I don't like GJ's contribution to SV. To me, he hasn't added anything of real value and, at times, he has even been detrimental to this Clark Kent and to the SV universe. Furthermore, I don't see the point of introducing these two "heroes" (BG and the BB) so late in the final season. Once again I'm convinced that the show runners have no idea of what to do with Clark Kent and keep piling up new characters so that they don't have to actually write for him. And they said they had plenty of stories about Clark's journey that they were eager to tell, but they only seem to be good at retconning, even within the same season. Do they ever watch their own show?
About the whole stupid "unmaking of Clark Kent" thing... well, you said it all above.
Tom did a great job, both acting and directing and the episode had some fun moments to watch. But it's sad that, at this point, with so little SV left, I can't be more excited about what I see or more saddened about the approaching end.

I don't like GJ's period. He rubbed me wrong with a lot of things he's said over the time he's become involved in SV, but what really influenced me was seeing him in person at Comic Con. He's smug, and self-important, and not at personable. I just wasn't impressed.
When it comes to SV, I just don't get the impression that writing for Clark interests him overly much. So, why are you writing for SV?
Tom did go a great job, but I think he usually does. He's a very talented guy. Hopefully, we'll be looking forward to a future project for him very soon.
