Smallville's Doomsday Speaks Out (spoilers for S8 finale).
If you're not already a little bit in love with SW, you will be after you read this. It seems his feelings about how the season ended for his character are pretty much the same as mine. (It's just that I don't have to be diplomatic and not burn any bridges.)
Doesn't sound like we'll seeing him in S9 now. *shrug* I want him to get a regular role on a good show, so I'm okay with it. I never want to watch SV again, and if he's not in S9, I won't have to. So, yay?
