No talk about Smallville...wow.

Next week...2-hour finale.

I keep getting choked up by their commercials for the final ep, the Superman music and all of it.

Can't wait to see how it all ends!

The show has been a staple on my DVR and before that. Though I think it's time, I am a bit sad to see it go. Seeing Clark in the suit will definitely feel like a journey complete to one of the best shows based on Superman to ever hit the airwaves. It should be a fun episode to finally see "Tom" in the suit.

P.S. I am seriously glad that MR didn't continue to punk out and refuse to reprise his role as Lex for the finale. It would not have been complete without him.

While the timing is probably right, it's going to be hard to watch this show go off the air. It's been one of my favorites for many years. This season has been tremendous.

Good series finale. I didn't know what to expect but there were many great moments. The Lex monologue was awesome, the way they weaved in seeing his dad and mom, the part where Jor El shows Clark his past deeds, the first flight scene, him flying to save the plane and the classic Superman pose with him hovering over the earth. So many moments.

The finale took awhile to get where everyone wanted the show to finally go......Clark in the suit and seeing him fly. We only got a few moments of it but OMG was it good. As the episode went on I was worried that I wasn't going to be satisfied with so little time of Clark in the suit but I was wrong. As brief as it was it was satisfying.

Very satisfying series finale even if I did have a few nitpicks. It was a great and fun 10 year run IMO. There is gong to be a hole in my DVR scheduler with no Superhero shows on the horizon.

Just watched the finale. The first hour was a throw-away, IMO. Very ho-hum. The second hour was pretty good, though.

I'm pleased with the closure they gave us, though I don't understand Chloe reading the comic book to her son, though--seems like they maybe wrote one ending where you weren't sure if everything that happened was reality or fiction, decided that was stupid but still left element of it in. How is it that his story is published in a comic book but he still has a secret identity?

I always get melancholy at the end of great series like this one.

Fantastic finale to a fantastic series. Really going to miss this one. It won't happen, but I would love to see a Superman movie with this cast.

I'm near the end of season two.
I feel like I have watched this already but I think it's because it used to come on when my alarm went off and I have heard the theme song a thousand times.
I'm enjoying the show for the most part.

Awesome. Smallville is in my top 5 TV shows of all time. Lots of nostalgia there.
