What I learned from the Smallville Finale "Finale" without watching it.

Lex's lifetime of torment, trauma, and abuse had nothing to do with anything. He was just born evil. But Clark still loves him, because after apologizing for not saving him, he runs off to fondle an ice dildo ( Read more... )

AGREED (I didn't even watch either)

It didn't deserve to be watched.

I also did not watch, but I like to think of all the characters as symbols more than people. It makes it easier to take the wooden acting, bad dialogue and constant screwing over of both ships and individuals.

YES THAT OTHER SHIP AND THAT OTHER GREAT FUCK UP ASIDE FROM LEX.

*ahem*

I gave up on emotionally investing in the latter seasons, but I am still SO FRUSTRATED by how much they could never get a handle on how to write Lex and position him in the story and in relation to Clark. It is SO! OBVIOUS! It would have been SO! GOOD! My god, I still get chills thinking about that scene in Hourglass and that was like the fourth episode! They draw you in with these moments of awesome, with this potential relationship, and then just shit all over it!

hey draw you in with these moments of awesome, with this potential relationship, and then just shit all over it!
That pretty much sums it up.

And it's the obvious stuff, the stuff that practically writes itself, that they fuck up the worst. It's amazing. Hourglass was great. Lex had some many great episodes that set up his journey. It's just UGHH

He got like mindwiped or something, and then all of a sudden he was evil because that's Lex's natural state, I guess. So his entirely journey on the show was utterly pointless. And my ultimate dream burns ever brighter of writing my thing where the "villain" has to save us all from the "hero" andtheirmanloveisforever.

It's gone though. It's dead. Yay.

Lest it resurrect itself in some crappy two hour tv movie. Or a spin-off, like hydra regrowing its heads. Is it wrong that I feel more relief about SV's end than Bin Laden's demise? That seems wrong, as he hurt actual people, and not just my poor brain that kept coming back for more.
