Dominion Screentime Minutes,and late thoughts

[jeannev]

  Wow, I never thought I would get this done.  Between a crazy busy weekend, major download issues, and general malaise about the show itself, it felt like a very long journey to this review.

I also think I was having a hard time thinking of what I wanted to say.  Because while this episode had some very entertaining moments in it, and some very

when you peel back the layers of this episode and examine it a bit deeper, you find yourself staring into some major plot holes, and contrivances. And those are par for the course.

And that's my disappointment with this final season. If this was just regular 'ol season 10 I'd love it, but this is it for the show; this should all be about Clark and his next big step and it's really no different than any other season with a focus on Very Special Guests and as you say, bucket list items, but not enough about Clark and his destiny and that's my disappointment. I've been mostly content with this season, but I wish I could love it.

Did some of the criminals smuggle in snakes in their pants? (insert joke here)
Is that why Zod kept squirming around in his throne?

Because the bottom line is that there was no real reason at all to bring him back aside from "Oh, wouldn't it be cool if...."

It was so unnecessary. It's like the writers think they're doing the fans a favor by bringing these incidental characters back.

While I find it incredibly hard to be invested in Oliver's skull tatoo, especially when he's been off in Star City for the last 3 weeks

And has been perfectly fine and is even worried about having the Omega symbol which means he's self aware and isn't as evil as the symbol is supposed to imply. I don't get where they are going with this at all.

Oh, and yeah, he looked magnificent.

I even love his short hair!

They all seem to get overly pissy because Clark won't love them enough, or won't love them the way they want him to (and by that, I mean in a naked way).

Do you blame them? :)

It sort of reminds me of Salvation, when we saw Clark be so brave and heroic and self-sacrificing, and then Lazarus came around and told us how stupid and proud Clark was. Well, here we have Clark being so brave and heroic and self-sacrificing on the surface, but what the show is really telling us is that it was a good thing no one listened to his plan, and he's overly controlling and won't trust other people enough. And really, is that what we needed 2 episodes from the end of the show?

But what is so crazy is that the writing gives us characters who are always pushing and looking to Clark to lead and for guidance and when he does so they all shoot him down and interfere and tell him how stupid and selfish he is. Which POV are we supposed to follow?

I'm not even going to go in on supportivefiancee!Lois because I'd be ranting all day. I've been over this side of her.

and they look deep into each others eyes, and they declare everloving devotion to each other, and there's some hugging, and....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Look, its just not my thing.

LOL! They're very perfect boring antiseptic love and devotion. It's not my cuppa either. It really makes me regret hating on Clana as much as I did because at least I can see them as a passionate couple, this is like Lois is Clark's beard which considering he has a son with Lex, maybe...

Well, last time we saw Godfrey and Granny Goodness, they were free as 2 little minion birds.

I bet they got their just desserts in Offscreenville. Though, didn't he send Godfrey to the Zone too or did Kara handle him? I don't even remember.

Why would Clark be wearing a cape for his gladiator fight with Oliver? Because its an homage to Superman? Come on, do we need that at this point?

That's the only reason why, unless Justin didnt't want anyone shirtless besides himself.

When Clark finds out that's its been 3 weeks, he says "You waited all that time" to Lois. Did he think she should've started dating?

LOL!!

Its 2 days to the wedding? And Chloe's not in town? Martha's not in town?

Clark doesn't need anyone else but Lois, don't you know that?!

Preach it, sister! I enjoyed it for the most part, but agree it was a tremendous waste of time to bring back Zod - I really, really hate that bucket list! And yes, I'd like to see a bit more passion at times with Clois - they feel like an old married couple.
