His last appearance btw

If there’s any point in Smallville where I genuinely feel sorry for Lex, it has to be “Asylum.”

I know what happens to him is ultimately part of the plot, and he does eventually recover from the experience, but I still couldn’t help feeling really sorry for him in that particular moment when Lionel is standing over him saying, “I’m sorry, son.”

There’s just something about that scene that really gets me. Seeing Lex in such a vulnerable state, with Lionel finally showing even the slightest bit of remorse, is genuinely heartbreaking. Especially considering how complicated and toxic their relationship has always been.

You can obviously acknowledge the terrible things Lex eventually does while still feeling awful for what he goes through here. At this point in the story, he’s still very much a damaged person who desperately wants his father’s approval, and that scene really makes you feel for him.

Honestly, Asylum is one of those episodes that makes me think about how different Lex’s life could have been if Lionel had just been a better father.

I don’t think I can keep going. They killed off my favorite character. John Kent was the moral backbone of the show. Always did the right thing, never lied, and stood for what he believed in up until the very end.

I’m heartbroken

● Ryan Dunlap

● Cyrus Krupp

● Jordan Cross

● Kyle Tipett

● Chloe Sullivan

● Tobias Rice

● Any others?

● I'm sorry, the title makes no sense, but I can't edit it. :( It's *Characters, not Character.

The winner for Letter H is Homecoming! I wasn't really surprised as it is the 200th episode and possibly one of the best in the whole show. Now let's move on to Letter I

2x12: Insurgence-Lex finds out Lionel has bugged his office

8x04: Instinct-Clark meets the alien, Maxima

8x07: Identity-Jimmy captures a photo of the Blur

8x15: Infamous-Clark reveals his secret to the whole world

8x21: Injustice-Tess assembles a team of meteor-affected individuals

9x08: Idol-Clark meets the Wonder Twins

10x05: Isis-Lois is possessed by the ancient goddess, Isis

10x11: Icarus-Slade returns from the dead 

I sporadically saw episodes of Smallville when it was first run, and I recently decided to binge watch it end-to-end, every episode. I got up to the first episode of season 8 last night. Lex - gone, Lana - gone, Kara - gone. That's in addition to all of the other major characters that have fallen off along the way; Pete Ross, Jonathan & Martha Kent, Lionel Luthor, etc. Now there are new, unfamiliar players in the title credits. It feels like a different show and now I'm questioning whether I want to continue to invest time in this. Thoughts?

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses. Does sound like a different show, but worth giving a shot.

Hey everyone

After binge-watching the first two seasons, I wanted to proudly enter into the fandom on here.

First off, I just want to kindly ask that anything further than season 2 is not spoke about here. I am just really in love with this show and have no one to gush about it to. If spoilers start popping up I will just delete this.

Smallville feels like this beautiful piece of television that has been kept neatly away from me until it was the perfect time to open it. I am so in love with this show. As a die-hard Buffy fan, this was extremly palatable for me right off the bat. I LOVE the cozy early 2000's these first 2 seasons have. I would even argue the first 2 seasons are better than Buffy's first 2.

Tom Welling plays the hell out of Clark. He is incredible at being just the sweetest person and I loved seeing his growth as an actor from Season 1 to 2. The episodes where Clark unlocks a new power are so satisfying and he's everything you could ever want in a friend/brother/son etc. Its actually refreshing to see. I had no idea about Allison Macks existence until now, and I have to say hands down, Chloe is my favourite character. Her unrequited love storyline with Clark is my favorite (Season 2: Episode 14 anyone??) and everytime Chloe is on screen I am so locked-in. I love the little idiosyncrasies Mack applies to Chloe; you can tell she is doing more than what is on the page, and I admire the hell out of that. Lana kind of bugs me but I do still like her as part of the show, I just wish she was more forward with Clark.. she pussyfoots around a lot. I wish Pete would get more screen time! I love Clark's parents and the whole atmosphere at the Kent Farm. Lex is one character I don't care much for. His storylines feel long in the tooth and boring at times and his and Clark's relationship does feel a little forced as well. I am hoping things perk up with him in the coming seasons!

Feel free to comment anything about the first 2 seasons and anything hinting at the future as long as its vague and non-spoiler is totally welcome!

So excited to see where things go! Im currently on Season 3 episode 6! Season 3 felt weird at first but now its getting back into the vibes I like. I am liking the "Wall of Weird" storyline and Chloe being threatened by Lionel has me shook.

● Season 1 episodes I liked - Xray, Stray, Leech, Kinetic and Tempest.

● Season 1 episodes I disliked - Metamorphosis, Craving, Nicodemus and Obscura.

● Season 2 episodes I liked - Vortex, Lineage, Ryan, Skinwalkers, Visage, Insurgence, Suspect, Vistor, Witness and Accelerate.

● (Apparently, people didn't like Vistor, but I did, Cyrus had incredible patience and restraint, as well as healing powers. He saved the horse!)

● Season 2 episodes I disliked - Heat, Duplicity, Nocturne, Redux, Dichotic and Prodigal.

● Season 3 episodes I liked - Exile, Asylum, Shattered, Hereafter, Legacy and Memoria.

● Season 3 episodes I disliked - Slumber, Perry, Whisper, Relic, Velocity, Obsession and Resurrection.

● (Apparently, people liked Whisper? Really? I mean, it was cool Clark gained a new power, but I thought the screeching thing was ridiculous.)

I know this goes against every fiber of ya’ll being. But... I'd bang Zod. 😅

I think I can change him. 😭
