Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:
The show has become a travesty to the Superman character/mythos.
(And this from someone who liked it at first).

"Lay down on your backs before Zod!"
"Now, using your lower abdominals, raise your legs and hold on a five-count before Zod!"

ROFL. So true. It's like they want us to hate him.

Good god. I'm glad I left this show. Such a terrible waste. Note to aspiring writers: never arbitrarily constrain yourself with superficial rules just so you think you look cool.

I'd go with "egg salad sandwich Zod", but that's just me. Mmmmm. Egg salad.

All that being said, this last season was the best in ages. With so many actors leaving the show, the writers had more freedom to go in different directions, and try new things. The only real problem is that no one seems to know who to write complicated characters (although, to her credit, the great Alison Mack sure knows how to bring life to a role that's been written so one-note). Complicated characters are ones who often show contradictions within themselves, the writers seem to be of the notion that complicated means angsty when something challenges a character's single-mindedness.
Will Zod be a major threat? That depends on whether the writers do the character justice, unlike how they handled DOOMSDAY (talk about anti-climactic)... At least this provides Clark with the opportunity to physically see what it means to be Kryptonian, and compare it to his human upbringing. Let's hope this sets up the closure the show desperately needs.
