I didn't say follow the Lost story format.
I said they should follow the direction of the writers there, e.g. they decided that instead of letting Lost run on forever and degrade in quality/ratings, they set an endpoint and are working towards that. So they can wrap the story up in their own terms.
smallville isn't about that dude, it's about exploiting, and exposing the audience to as many commercials as possible...
maybe they'll take a more serious approach next year.
this season has been great, better than season 8, which was it self light years ahead of the 7 seasons that came before it. So I have hope that you are correct. That maybe finally, after 9 years, the smallville writing crew would pull out all the stops, and deliver (without having to fill in 25% of available episodes with filler.)
hopefully next season, we'll also get a climax to the season, where clark actually uses his powers.
Again, my only negative comment on the season finale: it is poor form to end a season, to bring the season to a climax, with a powered down Superman... it's cheap.
It was a good fight scene, but what in the hell was the point of giving Zod powers in the first place, and not have a real face off? Honestly, what's the point? All they did was waste 4-5 episodes worth of F/X budget on him. And why? so that Clark and Zod could have a powered down fist fight? It just doesn't add up. (hopefully, this is one of the things the production crew takes more seriously next year, budget and delivery). Ironically, it's the same BS climax (in essence) that they used in SII (without the saran wrap suffocating \S/ frisbee)
