I’ll say this upfront: last year’s season of Smallville was probably one of the best the series offered! After lagging in the past years, the producers and writers of CW’s longest-running series has definitely brought Smallville up a notch higher. And all this in the absence of Lex Luthor and Lana Lang too!
Season 8 marked the time in Clark’s life when he moved up to Metropolis, becoming a prototype of the Daily Planet reporter we know him to be as Superman’s alter-ego. After spending an eternity at The Farm, Clark found his place… and space… opposite Lois Lane, who is also becoming one of the Planet’s star reporters. And in these settings, Clark met his future arch-enemy Doomsday, and a host of other aliens good and bad up to the very last scene of the season!
Season 8 introduced Cassidy Freeman as Lex Luthor’s replacement Tess Mercer. She followed big footsteps but totally carried herself. At the end of the season, no one missed Lex! Also new last season was Sam Witwer, who played the haunted paramedic Davis Bloome (aka Doomsday). Witwer gave such a stellar performance in every episode he was in that Davis’ character became larger-than-life.
Smallville also bid goodbye to four of Smallville’s regulars (and I won’t spoil it for you) and each closure episode was classic Smallville hangers …. “you just never know”. Certainly not let-downs! Rather, the twists are so crafted that they were shockers, to say the least.
