I sure will those early seasons, where the show was neatly written, and the Superman mythology at its most relevant. This series finale was a fan service mess, stating these new show runners were not up to the task. First you get a boring first half, with annoying fangirling, that simply drags everything down with it. And a second, full of recaps and corny action sequences. Lex's return was its most noticeable part, when he murdered Tess and had his memory erased. Only the flash forward during the closing scene, proved the menace of him becoming a villain is still there. And honestly, why did we wasted so much time on Clark and Lois, when their endgame could've simply been summed up by that flash forward scene? They spent so much time and energy on Clark and Lana's love story, they simply assumed « Lois and Clark » was a given, and we would be on board with Lois going from accointance/roommate, to Clark's epic love story, in one night. I disagree, they did a great job leading up to that, until season 7. After that it fizzled out, and their relationship became interchangeable to what Clark would've been through with Lana, and the emphasis on their endgame in the last two seasons, felt like an obligation to their fans. They could've taken out a big chunk of it, and the result would've still been the same. Season 10 wasted too much screen time on the couples, and should've been shorter and more focused on that Darkseid plot, and tying up the series important loose ends. Because of it, we got excruciatingly long heart to hearts and a five second resolution, to what was supposed to be Clark's biggest threat to date, on the series finale. The part where he finally learned to fly and wore the Superman outfit was spectacular, but then again, the way he looked at Lois through the window, could've simply been interpreted as two friends who realized they had deeper feelings towards each other. Which is something I never felt in all those episodes of « buildups ». And don't get me started on Chloe and Oliver... Yeah they got a kid together, but who cares? It could've been someone else's too, and I still would've been fine with it. This attention to useless details, is what plummeted most of these last seasons for me. And looking back at the pilot episode, it shows these aren't the same people involved anymore. Which is bad, because they don't even feel like being part of the same series either. I guess it was really time for this show to end...
