Geeks ‘n Games

I’m so pissed off right now that I can barely muster up the words to express it. I’ll just keep this as short as possible. Season 7 of Smallville, overall, was a decent season. It had many moments that made me very excited about where the show was going—until today, when the CW finally revealed the series’ destination: straight down the toilet. Just thinking about how crappy the season finale was is making my blood pressure go up, so I’m just going to list off the reasons why, then I’m going to see if I can find a better show to flush out all the bullshit I just absorbed. Here’s a short list of why Smallville’s latest season finale was complete garbage:

1. More commercials than show. Maybe the CW thought we’d get so confused from all the advertising that we’d actually believe the episode was going somewhere…

2. Full of corny and sappy moments between characters I really could care less about in this particular episode.

3. Cut to commercial.

4. Predictable plot twists. Brainiac gets “killed”… again… and I’m sure he’ll be back… again.

5. Nothing exciting happens at all.

6. Cuts to commercial again.

7. Holy stupid, stupid, stupid, anti-climatic endings, Batman!

8. Once again, the writers of the show manage to keep Clark Kent’s character lame and un-superman-like. I thought Lana’s character was bad, but Clark is catching up quickly—almost with super-speed.

9. I lost an hour of my life that I will never get back. 

10. Most of that hour was filled with stupid commercials that nobody gives a shit about!

Is there anyone out there that was actually able to extract something good from this season finale? I’d love to know… or, who agrees this episode was complete and utter crap—possibly the worst episode of the show since it began? Leave comments!
