Smallville SERIES FINALE review

This is it!The series finale, an event of 10 years in making comes to an end.Fans should just lay back on the sofa because even there were lowpoints in the episode, everyone got what wanted( at some point):Superman. Tom Welling  put on the suit and saved the day from Darkseid and the coming Apocalypse(and Apokolips, the big bad planet heading toward Earth planning on destroying it.)But that wasn't just all, Michael Rosenbaum returned for one last time to bring back the only true evil and villain without whom Superman wouldn't be Superman : Lex Luthor!In flesh and blood.Turned out Lex used those organic parts from clones which had usefulness and  "combined" them to heal himself but one last thing was missing, a heart.Lionel from Earth-2 decided to help his son(from another mothe---- universe) by cutting Tess Mercer's heart out and putting in Lex's body.You got to see the irony in that.Tess of course is a kick ass girl and managed to escape and mortaly wound Lionel who even in his last breath tried to save his son.Darkseid appeared and cut out Lionel's heart and healed Lex than took over Lionel's body and began using him as his vessel on his mission to kill the bringer of the Light, Kal El , Clark Kent.

The highlight of the episode was of course(besides the flying and super-suit)the many guest characters, most notably John Schneider aka Johnathan Kent who whenever speaks, wisdom comes out from his mouth and this time was no different.The wedding of Lois and Clark was back on even after Lois had a cold feet but the party was crashed by a darkness-fully-taken-over Oliver who tried to give Clark a ring with golden kryptonite but Chloe managed to save the day(and Earth also, who knows what would've happened if Clark would've put on that ring.) and after a fierce fight, Oliver was back on track and defeated the unholy trinity of Darkseid. Now only thing they needed was to somehow make the big vulcanic planet above them gone and Darkseid defeated and Clark while preparing for his ultime battle has a nice family reunion with his mother, Martha Kent and the ghost of his father,Jonathan Kent.Of course Lex is was now back and the two faced off at the ruins of the Luthor Mansion.Lex admitted that besides he considers Clark his greates enemy, he believes in him that he can save mankind from it's demise and apocalypse.Clark now went to the barn of his house only to be confronted by a Lionel who is now the vessel of Lord Darkseid.Clark during the battle learns how to fly as he realises that he had the power all along in him only that the past was holding him back and defeated Darksied.Have to say I was a bit dissapointed as I expected a bigger fight, but it was enjoyable either way. Clark went to the fortress and put on the suit and saved Lois who meanwhile was on Air Force One to tell the President about the danger they are facing.The plane was to crash but Clark now Superman saved them and pushed the Apokolips planet out from Earth's orbit.The day was saved.

Of course we still have Lex Luthor who know took over LuthorCorp and renamed it LexCorp than finally killed Tess saying that he is saving her by killing her because than she wouldn't become like him. This is what I like about Lex, he always thinks he is doing the right thing and maybe that's one of the many factors that make his character the most epic and also sympathic villain in the show.But dear old sis had one last chance at redemption and took it by poisoning Lex with an organic black liquid which was in development for years and reveals that this will erease Lex's memory up to that very point.As she lays dying a memory-less Lex realises that he has no idea what is happening around him and looks out to from the window totally confused.

We flash forward to year 2018 where all of our characters have nicely evolved.Clark Kent is the mild-mannered riporter secretly asking Lois to marry him and being Superman when people need him, Lois Lane is a top riporter at the Daily Planet, Chloe is a mother and she is married with Oliver and Lex Luthor is elected as the President of the USA.
The last shot of the show needs no words.It's perfect.Check it out and you'll know what I'm talking about ;)

RAZOR rating: 8.5 ( out of 10)
