Yeah – so many things in this episode are completely insane They don’t even go together in harmony with fact INSIDE this episode let alone the series.

This episode should never have been made. They should have either, if budget was key – which seems like BS – then they needed to save money and make ‘doomsday’ the next season opener with money for two episodes. Further perhaps the last few episodes should have been scrapped to end the season early with a well thought out Doomsday w/ the money from all those episodes.

BUT THEN I DON’T BELIEVE THIS IS A _MONEY_ ISSUE

As with a lot of people here – this is my favorite show and only Doctor who, Torchwood, and Stargate sg-1 are (were for SG-1) competition. Having said that – Doomsday, this particular episode was one of the worst episodes of ANY SHOW I’ve ever seen in almost 35yrs. And I’ve seen a lot of horrid shows in that time. I wish smallville would continue many years into the future – even with the replacement for Welling – as long as it’s a good replacement.

I do think Welling should be offered and play the New Superman in the upcoming new revision movie….. he should have done the part in the last one as Routh was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!……………………………… But I did like the movie even though it wasn’t really _good_ in any way – I still rather liked it a lot just for what it was the RETURN of Superman to the big screen.

LONG RANT……………………. Have more but I’ll probably be murdered if I continue.

its a litte weird and hard to understand, but i thnk we will see it come together next season, i hope

Tonight I felt like I was watching a damn LOVE story…

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This episode was RIDICULOUS
HORRID
So disjointed and horribly put together as to be worse than refuse.
Chloe, sure not a super krypton brain but she HEALS people …HELLO?
What’s with the interaction of all the superheros
Davis Doomsday split and each ending was so painful to watch (in so much as I HAD anticipated it would be good, thought out, interesting)
Smallville is my favorite show (was a tie with Stargate SG-1 but since that’s gone – and SG Universe looks like a joke – What on earth was this nonsense?
and I’ll agree with the above…… Zod back? What on earth? That’s just pathetic….. I suppose it could still be the alternative and could just be a representative of the best of krypton – but that would be pathetic also…….

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE………………………………………………………..

It’s almost like they WANT to piss off the fans so we will be ok with it being over………….. almost like they WANT to tick us off so much we will be happy if they actually give up now and don’t do the agreed upon next season.

The Lex thing keeps getting tossed around in so many different variations despite what Rosenbaum himself and the execs have reported to be saying…

Maybe he could not answer to keep us wondering and thus, interested.

Thanks bud.

I believe originally Superman vibrated his face to be a blur so no one could recognize him… after the artists explained this .. they no longer needed to draw him blurred…

alota people keep saying whens batman coming into it, wonderwoman

the show CANNOT use the rights to use bruce wayne or batman because of the movies going on right now, the same reason youll never see clark wear the suerpman outfit

its just the way tv works, they cant be seen to be using such HUGE characters that have been in reccent movies, but when its the other way round it seems pretty fine to make a FILM using characters from a series, i hate the way tv works, but also to the guy who asked about flash, he’s been in it, you realise theres a fair few flash’s dont you? and they didnt all name themselves the flash ^^ also hes been in smallville a few times, have u not been watching lol

[...] a promising first half of Smallville’s 8th season, including a pretty good cliffhanger that teased us with a Doomsday showdown, the January premiere was a huge [...]

It’s just me, but I keep feeling that, by the end of this season, they’re gonna kill Chloe off. (Fan-fiction alert) She’s possesed by Brainiac right now and knowing that smart-ass alien robot, he’s up to something real big and evil, something he’ll acheive more succesfully with Doomsday at his side, something that may change the lives of Clark and his friends forever. Eventually, this plan (whatever it may be) will lead to an all out battle at the fortress between Clark (the Justice League, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter and maybe Pete at his side) and Chloeniac who unleashes Doomsday upon him. It will take all of them, all using their own abilities at once to temporarily subdue the creature (maybe he’ll also get flown into the sun by Jon,Kara or Clark if he learns how to fly by then, to return at a later season). They’ll be all battle damaged by the end of that confrontation especially Clark, who, despite his almost fatal injuries would go of on his own to face off against the villain who took his best friend’s form. Their fight would be epic. Chloe would be packing some serious Brainiac mojo (superspeed, heat vision, the T-1000 liquid metal thingy, etc…), and Clark, whose pulling back his punches so as not to harm Chloe’s body, thinking their might still be a chance to cure her, is at a distinct disadvantage. That is until Chloe’s personna is able to reemerge temporarily, emploring Clark to just kill her since there’d be no other way to stop Brainiac. Clark would refuse which would lead to a dramatic back and forth between the two of them, Brainiac fighting to take back control the entire time, until Chloe would finally convince Clark that there’d be no other choice. Clark, in tears, would then say something along the lines of “I love you Chloe” and… the death of Chloe Sullivan. Then we’d have an iconic image of Clark carrying Chloe’s body out of the fortress with everyone around him watching and crying. The aftrmath of this tragedy would be Lex emerging from the shadows and entering the Fortress, taking something from it, perhaps a device Brainiac was using for his plan, a plan that he would attempt to try out and improve in the following season. (Fan fiction ended)

Afterthought: who else feels the show should be renamed “Metropolis” at this point.
