No! Man, what kind of Smallville fan am I?! I tuned out for a season, now addicted as ever, and I google what happened in season... 8, and I find out that Michael Rosenbaum is off the series?! I mean, what the heck happened? He grew hair or something? He was my definitive teenage Lex Luthor. I have been watching all of the episodes in seasons 1-4 and am now more depressed than ever.

What happened, producers and writers? Smallville used to be the best show ever for me, and I'd watch reruns like 10 times. Now I'd rather watch the Backyardigans than later reruns? Smallville used to be epic. Accurate, even! Now it's just a super-tranparent ploy to extend the series into like 20 seasons. The first 4 seasons were the best. And I mean the best. They were like comic books in the Golden Age, a single story for a single issue, sometimes the cliffhanger, and they left us, the fans, wanting more! I used to be all high when I heard the theme song, now I just get depressed; I hear it and immediately think of what the hell the people running this did to the series.

They should have ended back in their prime, when it wwas epic. When it was accurate. When people actually cared. I'll still care, as I'll always, and I'll follow this til it's end. At least back then, people would be more depressed, not glad that it's gone. 

As a last word, Doomsday shouldn't be in Smallville. He killed Superman and allowed the Reign of The Supermen to happen, and if that happens with Smallville, I'll be just like, wtf?! But a dark Superman/Tom Welling would look so badass!
