Every time I turn around, Lois is giving Clark another heartfelt pep talk, and it's beginning to look like he can't do anything without her standing on the sidelines cheering him onAgain, YES! Thats it

I feel like everytime I discuss a legitmate problem with the way Clois is written, its dismissed as "hating". And thats such a dismissive way to view a different opinion.
I know, what's that about? I think what boggled my mind the most after Collateral aired was seeing someone basically say, "I saw this opinion. It's wrong. The right opinion is THIS."
Look, for me, its very, very important for us to believe...for ME to believe...that Clark can become Superman on his own. Because of what lies inside him. If you make it all about him being unable to get over the hump without Lois, you ARE diminishing Clark in my eyes.I feel exactly the same way, passionately so. Are we to believe that the man who is destined to be the world's greatest hero, the savior of the entire planet, doesn't have that strength of spirit, that calling to help mankind, burning within him? And honestly, why would Lois Lane want to be with a man who didn't, who instead had to be rallied to the cause, convinced and cajoled into believing in himself, and needing

*nods in total agreement* This post is made of awesome!! You always did have a way of saying exactly what I'm thinking with regards to Smallville and in a much classier, more meaningful post. I've missed seeing that from you.
Thanks for your comment! Most of my favorite moments this season have been between Clark and Lois. Tom and Erica are so great together. I love your icon! That scene took my breath away. In the space of a heartbeat Clark took their relationship to a whole new level, and the heat in his gaze as he stared into Lois's eyes made me weak in the knees. Yowza

i don't watch Smallville (except for S4 and then occasional episode here and there)... but as for still loving your show, i'm getting that a lot now with Supernatural. if i say i love what my show did, i get comments from people saying it's great that i can still love the show no matter what it does.
and i'm looking foward to Booster, too, but probably for a different reason as you. =)
i also wanted to add that i still like Chloe, but i'm stuck with the fanon Chloe from the Dean/Chloe fanfics, so... that's a different ball of wax altogether.
if i say i love what my show did, i get comments from people saying it's great that i can still love the show no matter what it does.Yeah, I believe it. That's not exactly sharing the squee, is it? :) Some people can only see a show from their own perspective, and others take it even further, insisting that everyone else should see it their way, too

This is a really good post. I think you outlined many of the issues with the season very well and yet I still really appreciate the way you bring something positive and inspiring to everything you have to say

Thanks so much! I'm glad you don't find my opinions completely negative.
I will always believe that Superman is a harder character to understand than a character like Batman or Spiderman will ever be.
I know what you mean (I can't even tell you how many Batman/Spiderman vs. Superman conversations I've had), but there was never any contest for me. Superman has always been my guy. And Lois is the only woman who could ever stand by his side. I can't help but wonder what kind of show Smallville would have been under the leadership of showrunners who saw Clark Kent as America's greatest hero, rather than a "boring do-gooder."
One of my biggest regrets of the season thus far is that the show seems to outright refuse to do any sort of proper journalism arc for either Clark or Lois.I know! And the worst part is that you know Tom and Erica would totally rock that kind of storyline! Part of what I like best about Clark and Lois is their playfulness, and their working relationship has always been the perfect showcase for that: the
