Tonight Smallville ended, and so we had a little pizza party to send it off into the void. We also got a cake. At first I thought, y’know, put a Superman S-shield on there, but no. The cake needs Smallville‘s real hero, John Glover’s magnificent head of hair.
Though after watching the final episode, perhaps a more suitable choice would have been the creepy ghost of Jonathan Kent. That effer’s everywhere.
John Glover had the full on beard tonight, too. It was insane and all so beautiful. The hair, not the episode.
That was a terrible, terrible two hours of television.
I haven’t seen it yet, but what did you think of the series finale??? Was it a satisfying ending?
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
It’s kinda weird. The whole point of Smallville is to foreshadow and foreshadow and foreshadow endlessly with hilariously appropriate references to the fact that he’d be Superman.
But…rather than foreshadowing, it was delivering on something.
That’s not the Smallville way…
Yeah, but what IS the Smallville way is that Clark never really made it to the finish line by himself. He had to be carried over it by two, count ‘em TWO, ghost dads.
so bill cosby and…?
John Ritter?
It turns out it’s not really Superman and the whole series followed the wrong guy for 10 goddamn years.
At least, that’s the way I’d have ended that garbage. I watched for about three seasons before realizing I actually hated the show.
The ending had a few issues (There’s a in-universe Smallville comic? Wouldn’t that kinda reveal his identity?), but overall I was pretty happy with it. Clark put on the suit, he flew, he saved the day, John Williams’ music played, and I was happy. And he totally banged Lois every day for seven years.
Wow: even when putting icing on a cake your drawing style appears clearly. That’s talent… or something something.
But when did Powergirl show up on “Smallville?” Cuz those look like huge mammaries…!
Glad I never got further than the episode with creepy bug-dude at the onset of this series. After hearing they changed a lot of backstories/characters, I was kind of glad I didn’t get sucked in. Please, somebody, can ya tell me if Green Lantern showed up?
And 10 years? Really? Why did “Birds of Prey” get axed after the first season (even though they, too, played loose and fast with established DC lore) but this show went on longer than it should? Or “The Flash?” Or “The Tick?”

I think it lasted as long as it did because when it started it was a mix of teen soap opera that was popular at the time and superheroes.
I used to love the show. My stopping point was when they killed Jonathan. I did see the finale though, I demand those two hours of my life back.
ooh very nice. My bangs used to look like that.. Quality hair is quality.
So it didn’t end with the revelation that we’ve been on Earth-3 the whole time, waiting for Clark to become Ultraman? Disappointing, because that really seemed to be the show’s underlying subtext.
But did it ever answer, after all these years, the question posed in the theme song? WILL somebody shave me?
All kidding aside two guys on my fb feed are having a war of words, one convinced that the entire series was the best thing ever forever and the other who wants ten years of his life back. In that way, I can authoritatively say that Smallville has provided quality entertainment.
And Remy Zero.
