This long time fans thoughts before the Smallville Finale

[goodvibe]

 Over the last two days, I caught up with the SV eps I'd missed recently.  RL has not been kind lately at all and I just didn't get the time until last night.  What can I say.  They seem to have left me in a very strange place before the finale.

Finale.  This is it.  Last ep ever.  Ten years of having watched the show faithfully, watched it and

*runs and TACKLES you*

Oh, I so suck, because I realize I've never written you back, and I so owe you a nice long letter. Sorry to hear that life has not been smooth sailing lately.

And you know how good it is to say ITA!? Well, it feels good. S10 has been a complete mess to me, with this run up to the finale being especially odd and incoherent and...whats the opposite of exciting?

Hope to be able to share many thoughts with you on the finale because I MISS YOU!

Vaaall! ::big hugs::

Missed you too. All through catching up with the eps these past couple of days I was thinking, 'hmm, bet Val hated this too' - heh!

It's shocking how sloppy and lacklustre this season has been. I could write an entire essay on it, and in fact, should time and energy permit at some point, I probably will. Just as a good 'ol cathartic remedy.

But for now, I'm just sort of looking to the finale, and really looking forward to talking to you about it!

Wow. The fact that you're excited about the finale made me feel excited about it. Somehow, even though you hated the last four episodes, and even though you rate this season as one of the very worst, this post was very uplifting to read. I too want to cheer Smallville on as I say goodbye. I love that you say the show deserves a good send off. I got a little choked up reading this. I've made a couple of dear friends through Smallville, and it helped me through RL as well. <3

Hey. :-)

You know, it's just that I feel this show is its own worst enemy. What could have been this amazing final season, has IMO, been completely wasted and squandered away. I just think it deserved better. But like I said, I'm in till the end. Always have been. Let's see where it takes us tonight. Looking forward to chatting with you about it!

I have a feeling I'll miss the fandom more than the show, well at least those parts of the fandom that have what I consider to be a rational POV. Like you!

I'm hoping that the finale will be a home run along the lines of Salvation, but even if it doesn't, I'll still have no end of love for the shore.

Aw, thank you. And right back atcha. ::hugs::

I don't even know what to expect of the finale, as I'm largely unspoiled. ICA with you on the 'Salvation' thing. I know that's a finale so many of us, including you and I adore. But in hindsight, not only do I think S9 was just an overall more coherent, better planned season, but the lead up to the finale, though not at all without its problems, was at least better than the mess that we've gotten this year, IMO. So I just don't know if this season is capable of pulling out a 'Salvation.' But I'm hoping for it, right there along with you!

Prophesy almost did me in. How can the second to last episode be so bad? But despite how lousy this last season has turned out, especially these last few episodes as the finale gets closer my anticipation is building (Heaven help me!)

I sure hope these last two hours are good.

Still you're right, even if this finale is a let down overall this show and its crazy fandom has provided one heck of a ride.

And here's hoping RL wises up and starts treating you better!

Ugh, 'Prophecy' was the absolute worst, wasn't it. Dreadful.

It has been a heck of a ride. When I look back on just the Twop days alone - the Chloe vs. Lois debates, standing up for Clark, Castville--- And then LJ proved to be just the right balm afterwards. Its had its ups and downs, but what an experience.

//And here's hoping RL wises up and starts treating you better!//

Thankyou. :-) I hope to kick its ass soon, heh.

Talk to you after the finale!

Such a good post! Thanks for verbalizing this. I've missed reading your posts!

I'm so sorry that real life has not been kind. I hope it gets better very soon.
