After four years of death and mayhem, the Smallville gang is ready to graduate from Smallville High…but another meteor shower is on the way to wreak havoc and the Luthor/Teague feud hits an explosive crescendo.Oh, yes. It’s definitely season finale time.
The Random:
1. The Kents are worried about Clark after he has a nightmare while screaming, “It’s coming,” over and over in his sleep. Ummm, Kent family. That wasn’t a nightmare. Clark was in his happy Lex place.
2. With all the deaths in this school, it’s a wonder there are this many kids even present at graduation. I wonder if they just keep getting replacement students to fill the void..?
3. The running countdown to extinction tries to give the episode a 24 type vibe, but it only serves to show just how little these people accomplish in ten hours.

“Wow, 120 of us get to graduate…out of a class of 943!”

The Awesome:
1. Lex is one smooth bastard, hiding Lana out and telling her not to worry about Jason, that he’ll smooth things over with him. That’s going to be hard considering Lex knows Lionel shot him last episode. Details, details.
2. Clark sacking up and owning up to his destiny is a great character moment and the Kents throwing their support behind him really drives home the family aspect of the show in a very well done scene on the farm.
3. Truck explosions, Papa Kent tussling with Jason as a meteor hits the Kent farm, Smallville getting the ever-loving crap meteored out of it, Lionel comatose, Chloe knocking out Lex to protect Clark, the first hint of the Fortress of Solitude and another Kryptonian ship coming to Earth? Yeah. Now that’s a season finale!

“By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Oh. Wrong show, my bad.” |
The WTF?!:
1. Once again Lana throws down with a hot woman—and no clothes fall off. Seriously, Smallville, would it have killed you to not have Dr. Quinn wearing a Hilary Clinton pantsuit for this fight, especially since it’s her last before getting killed by Lana of all people?
2. I can almost understand Smallville astronomers dropping the ball on the giant meteor shower heading towards town—again—but no one at, I don’t know, NASA, could have noticed something more than ten hours before it’s about to it? Oh, it’s a magic meteor shower. Say no more…
3. Wow, even the US military is useless within the borders of Smallville, as Chloe Sullivan, apparent Agent of SHIELD, manages to slip past a cordon to attempt a rescue on Lana.

Seriously, meteors? A thousand of you and not ONE could manage
a direct hit on Lana Lang? |
