Smallville's Tenth & Final Season Options

[itskamanstar]

(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've been back and forth about Chloe the past couple of years. Last season I thought that she was far too judgemental and quite frankly, hypocritical. She kept more secrets than anyone else yet was quick to get on Clark's case time and time again. Several episodes had me wondering why he put up with her meddling crap. Of course, her information traffic control was helpful. I don't know, I have mixed feelings, in general about Chloe.

That being said, I can't imagine her not being around since she's been such a staple of the series. I do not, let me repeat, DO NOT like the idea of her becoming Dr. Fate. That should have gone to Inza (Dr. Fate's wife). I don't mind the off canon stuff but this is the type of story telling decision making on Smallville that makes me crazy.

I've got more to add, but I need coffee, a shower and need to head to work. haha

I took it as Chloe was harsh on Clark because really, Doomsday was mostly her fault, and she feels responsible for the death of Jimmy. So when Clark hesitated, Chloe recognized that part of herself (whether she was aware of not) and picked at it... and tried to pretend Doomsday wasn't her fault and kind of blamed it on Clark, a little bit. They've been best friends for nine years, I think Clark knows Chloe that well and put up with it. I didn't always agree with Chloe this season, but she always had good intentions despite her methods. But this last season, we need to see some serious Clark and Chloe bonding to make up for their spats. If you watch the first seven seasons (especially after Chloe found out about Clark) their friendship becomes really great to watch.

I don't think she'll stay Doctor Fate forever, just for the first half ish of the season
