Completely off topic---
You know I had forgotten about them creating Metallo and all of that from the first of the season.
I have really enjoyed Season 9, but that would have to be my one complaint----not keeping the story of the Kandorians and Zod front and center.
I would have liked the focus to have stayed on all the goings on with the Kryptonian replicants. Assimilation into earth society per Zod's orders, the formation of R.A.O along with their continuing experiments (could be a take off of Fringe with Clark investigating them), meeting with Clark and him helping to make the responsive ones into regular citizens, etc.
It still has been a good season, but the writers do tend to lose focus from time to time on their big story.
