• The character that I think the show ruined: I wouldn’t say ruined ruined because I still love his character and I will always have the early seasons, but I feel like the show did its best to ruin Lionel’s character. His redemption arc just didn’t work and you (or I at least) was left baffled at what these characters were doing interacting and trusting him. Now, I do understand that sometimes it was because they had no choice (Lionel had learned Clark’s secret) but still. It was like they were trying to shoe horn him into a role that he was not made for and he only thing that saved it was John Glover. (I think we’ve already talked about him being at thanksgiving dinner and just how wrong that was on so many levels.) S7, the culmination of that arc, did have some fine moments though. Including a reminder of Lionel and who he was (in Lex’s memories) and him telling Lex he loved him and Lex just walking away, because he had said it far too late. And of course, my favorite Lionel S7 scene where he comes to Chloe for help and she stares him down (when he’s literally on his knees) and you can literally see her remembering everything bad he had ever done to her, every threat he had ever made, everything he had whispered in her ear, and her telling him no. Her telling him that he had never really changed. Her pushing him away and telling him that there was no saving or redeeming him; that he was still that power hungry man we met in the first episode. (I may really love that scene, sorry.) • The most attractive male and female character: This is a mean question and you cannot make me pick. (SO MUCH PRETTY ON ONE SHOW. AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PICK BETWEEN CERTAIN PEOPLE. AND REALLY IT WAS A CW SHOW. EVERYONE WAS GORGOUS.) So I’m going to go with guest stars. Zatanna (I have such a girl crush on Serinda Swan) and Jensen Ackles. (Okay so he wasn’t really a guest star, but but Jensen Ackles. And I mean he was only in the one season and not in every episode. So it kind of counts.) • The character death that was the worst for me: Probably Tess, but I’m still in denial over that, so I don’t know if that counts. (She’s living a new life on a different TV show now, LOL). Ummm…the Davis/Jimmy Doomsday fiasco might take this one, just because it just made NO sense and it just wasn’t necessary. If they wanted to kill of Davis and Jimmy it would have been easy to use Doomsday as a way to do that. There was no need to strip away everything we knew and loved about Davis and turn him into a murderer who not only killed Jimmy but went after Chloe. None of that made sense. (Sam Witwer won’t ever say it, but you know he agrees.) I’m also of the belief that Lex died either in the S7 finale or in S8, the Lex we got after that, was all clone Lex, so I mourn him too. He may look the part, but he’s not the same man. • The character that is the most like me: Oh, this is hard. I don’t even know. I want to say I’m like Chloe, or Tess, or really any of the wonderful female characters. I connect the most with Chloe and Tess so I’ll say them, that there’s something there that’s like me, but I couldn’t say specifically what. • The character I think the writer(s) love: I’m going for the idea of a character that the writers loved a little too much, if that makes sense, the type you can tell. And its going to sound weird, but I’m going to go with Clark. Obviously he was the main character, it was his show, they probably should love him most. But they loved him in a way where they seemed blinded by his faults, like they couldn’t see what they were writing or how his actions were wrong half the time. And they just needed to step back and look at the character as a whole. Clark Kent is not batman. Clark Kent is not perfect. Clark Kent is not the Earth’s savior. Clark Kent is the boy who will grow into Superman, who believes in truth, justice and….other stuff. LOL. He believed in saving people and doing what was right, but he was still human (Clark Kent was human at heart) and he made mistakes along the way, mistakes he had to own up to and apologize for, and recognize to grow into the man that would someday be Superman and people would look up to.
