Smallville's Tenth & Final Season Options

(I made a Smallville thread before, but it was about the ninth season and is dead anyway, so here's to a new thread)

Comic Con ended a couple of days ago, so I thought now is the time to bring it up. Smallville begins it's tenth and final (it's been confirmed as definitely the final) season on Friday, September 25th. It's a huge achievement to have a show run so long. Is anybody else excited for it? I think the show started off good and lost it's way, but the last couple season have really turned the show around, and I think the tenth season might be the show's best. There are already some old characters confirmed to return, like Supergirl, Brainiac, Jonathon Kent, Hawkman, and that's just for the first four episodes. They're trying to get Lana, Lex and Lionel to come back as well. I'm really excited, I'm a nerd for this show. It's so cool looking back to see how much the show has changed from the first season. What are your thoughts on the show thus far and the final season?

Here's some stuff talking about what's to come:

This trailer is the last minute and a half of the trailer below. It includes just the part about season 10.

This trailer is seven minutes long, and for the first 5 and a 1/2 it reviews the past 9 seasons. It's a really cool walk down memory lane.

I was hoping Lois would find out earlier last season but it played out nicely. The "reveal" was very fun to watch.

How do you feel about Chloe not being a regular next season?

Yeah I can how some people feel that way, but personally I thought it worked out better for the story arch, the way Clark and Lois started dating and he had to keep lying to her. It portrayed their relationship differently from Clark and Lana, in the sense that Clark isn't telling her because she might think of him differently, but because now he's the blur and it could put her in danger. Also in how Lois didn't demand to know the truth because she thinks she has the right to know, but because Clark lying to her anymore would undermine their relationship and what they mean to each other. It was also cool, because after Lois started talking to the Blur near the end of the previous season, she's become somebody who can relate to Clark. Clark has a higher calling, a destiny he feels needs to be fulfilled. Everyday he, "wakes up with a purpose", as he said. With Lois talking to the Blur and helping him made her feel the same way. To watch their dynamic play out over a longer period of time I think just enriched their relationship, and thus the show. Lol geek rambling

I understand why Allison wants to move on, 9 years is a long time for any show. She's actually performing a theater show in NYC right now, called Love, Loss, and What I Wore. But she'll be back. She already filmed the first episode and will show up again halfway through the season (hopefully she'll be back for the second half entirely). It's interesting though, because it looks like she'll become the next Doctor Fate. The interviews from comic con seem to suggest she becomes Doctor Fate as part of deal, so Darkseid's people will release Oliver from captivity, and that Oliver's journey this season (at least for the first half) will be to find Chloe, which will lead to him joining the Suicide Squad. It sounds like a good story. It just means the writers will have to make really good use of her screen time. My guess is that Chloe still has some part of Brainiac left in her and Darkseid wants her for the anti life equation Brainiac probably has. But we'll see.

How do you feel about it?
