I've just watched the finale, (thank you newsgroups for providing me in the UK with US TV) and I'm really disappointed. What the crap was that ending of Doomsday. Clark didn't even hit him. You'd think that after the criticism of Superman Returns they would learn their lesson and have him hit someone; and who better than Doomsday? It would have been nice to see Clack smack him one and then watch as bones grew where the punch had landed. I wasn't even sure what had happened, I thought that Clark has jumped into a power station or something. I was expecting Doomsday to get up. 20 odd episodes of promise culminating in a 20 second fight. Very poor.

And when io9 reported (can't remember when) about someone saying about the villain and I thought when it was mentioned, cool Metallo! But now we get Zod, again?

Erm not to make me look daft but how do we know its Zod?

Did anybody else see Chloe hold her belly at the end of the episode - as if she's pregnant? Or was that just me.

How Smallville and Heroes (and probably countless other shows I don't know about since I don't watch them) have such sucky fight scenes! I mean cmon, granted, tv shows=limited budget.

And I've always accepted that.

But the travesty that was their season finales was just too much! You set up the whole season around a final showdown and we see precious little of it!! Heroes had that retarded shut the door crap and smallville…fuck smallville. Clark didn't throw one single punch!! One punch! All he did was that fucking super leap. I'm realistic here, I don't expect the Matrix, but could'nt he have atleast hit back once? Is a single cgi heat vision attack too much to ask?? He's supposed to be fucking superman!

I don't even buy that limited budget crap anymore. You know why? I suddnely remembered an old show on tv that ran for alot of seasons and ALWAYS had satifying fight scenes. Highlander. Duncan MacLeod kicks ass. (on screen! where we can see it!)

@hellpandaboy: Highlander! There'd be fist fights and sword fights and then shit would blow up and spark during the quickening!

it was all done before:

Clark puts the red ring and became aloof to everything

Clark is made into Kal-el by Jor-el

Bizzare Clark shows up at end of a season (I can't even remember how he was created)

All season finalles are about Clark determinating himself to be less human and then back to normal in the first episode of the next season.

I didn't watch the smallville finalle yet, and after reading this I am not certain that I should. Tom welling's character is not Superman or Clark Kent, even that old superboy cartoon had more to offer as personality!

I WANT A BLUE BETTLE SERIES!!!

@cadrina: A Blue Beetle series would be fantastic. I want to see El Paso get righteously defended.

@palinode: Blue Beetle shows up fairly often in the new Batman cartoon. He's a good kid. Would make a better series than this.

I think Smallville and Heroes should have a knockdown fight to determine which is the crapiest superhero tv show.

@Belabras: Would the loser be the winner? Or would it be the other way around? Or the loser the loser and the winner slightly less of a loser, but not really?

I get confused by races to the bottom.

I remain eternally disappointed that Brainiac's plan didn't unfold into some sort of high-tech swimsuit competition. Or a plan to seduce Clark in lingerie.

Smallville, you disappoint me. Oh Allison Mack..... <3

@Pope John Peeps II: That sounds a lot like my hopes that in a battle to save the world, Oliver, Clark and Davis take off their shirts fight to the death! Never happens, though. *sniff*

Episode was above-average for Smallville but not really that compelling, hell Season 7 had much better stuff (Bizarro/Parasite, anyone). I only have passing knowledge of the Legion of Superheroes but what, no code for killing? Peculiar.

Brainiac 5 shout-out was awesome! Doomsday didn't fully disappoint!

Oh and I want reporter Chloe back, damnit!

@Happy cave of evilness is happy: I don't remember Parasite. Then again, S7 was shite.
