I live for baseball for 6 months of the year, and from September onward I've been on tenterhooks because they've basically SUCKED. They got my hopes up when they won 3 straight games in the ALDS, but then. :( Baw. I hate that I have to wait until April for things to start back up, sigh.
It took me like 3 hours to read seperis's 25k! I know some people don't like her style, but I think it fits really well with Star Trek, and her characterizations are so easy to drown in. It's gonna take me the whole day to reread War Games, I'm excited. :D
Oh dude, I hear you about Fandom ADD. Kris is the only one I've ever kept long-term, and while I'm always on the fringes of my previous ones (mostly through the help of Tumblr, tbh), I forget things and people so easily. I'd feel bad, but I guess that's just how I enjoy things.
THE END OF S7 WAS A CLUSTERFUCK, RYO. Lordy. I never watched the first 3 seasons so I never got to see how Clark and Lex were with each other, but then it all became kind of pathetic and annoying in the end. What Clark had with Lana was cute and sweet in the beginning, but then it spiraled into something really really awful and I HATE her now. :| Long-running shows have a tendency to fail at characterization, Smallville especially so.
I like to pretend that S8-S10 is a whole different show, and that makes my head hurt a lot less. :P Clark and Lois are absolutely wonderful in every way.
So you have six months of stress, heartbreak and elation. At least they give you another 6 months after to recover! Hopefully they come back better next year :( My Coyotes almost made the damn playoffs and choked in the end. Ugh.
For me personally her style is more hit or miss especially in AI fandom, but all of her Trek fics are perfect; I really, really love her Jim and Spock. It's easy for them to be written as too perfect but she doesn't do it, so it makes me happy.
I'd feel bad, but I guess that's just how I enjoy things.
It's the same for me - I always get to a point where I've enjoyed it as much as I can, and then I need to take a break and come back later. Except with Kris, but he's Kris, and he's always a special case.
Like with SPN, the first seasons of SV were my favorite - I really fell in love with Lex and he was so smart and could be so sweet and dslfsldf he wanted so badly to be good and nobody ever gave him the chance :( I mean he fucked things up for himself, too, but the things that could have been :( And Lana's character just became completely ruined; she became some psycho caricature of herself.
But whatever, I have Lois now, so. I just really hope Michael will agree to come back one more time, just in the finale. Hopefully Lana doesn't.
seperis has said before that Trek will always be her first and best fandom, and it really shows in her writing. Ugh I love her stuff, and while I know she kind of burnt out with War Games, hopefully the sequel will push her to write some more.

I want Michael to come back too! I always cringed when they showed faxe!Lex, I think it's so disrespectful to him and his legacy on the show. I wanna see him talk to Clark before the series ends.
Total WORD on Lana though, because while I'm sure Kristin is a lovely person and would love for her to come back before everything ends, I just know that bringing her back would be another grand opportunity for the writers to shit on Lois and Clark/Lois. :|
Ohh I really do hope the sequel sparks her interest again, because I would die. And IA about fake!Lex, especially since how he's nothing but a deranged maniac in a straight jacket or whatever. That's not Lex Luthor. Lex isn't a psychopath like the Joker, what makes him Lex is that everything is business to him and he's ruthless and he wants as much power as he can get - not everything is about Superman to him.
And ugh, I agree that first loves are important, but I think everyone is tired of the whole "when Lana shows up everything becomes about her" thing that happens in EVERY episode she's in. Let Clark move on, writers.
That is EXACTLY what happens, and it pisses me the hell off.
Let Clark move on, writers.
He already has, and they have written it wonderfully, they are just incapable of understanding that Clark can have both women in his life, that they don't have to tear one down to legitimize the other. I don't trust them to make Lana's return satisfying to the audience, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna make Clark look extremely stupid along the way, too. So really, they shouldn't even try.

Ugh they always turn him into bumbling-stupid-teenage Clark when she's around. I wouldn't mind it if they showed her the Clark I'M seeing right now in the episodes, the one who's so much more mature and grown up, but. They won't. It's like the Lana character completely destroys their ability to maintain characterization.
But I saw little Alexander :3 He's qt! Of course he's also somehow going to end up a criminal mastermind.
In my history of TV watching, no storyline has pissed me off more than Promise in S6, and when Lana returned in S8. Clark turns into a spineless douche whenever she's around, and I won't stand for it.
