we usually agree on stuff, but not on this one ;o)
LOTS OF PEOPLE.
when you invest ten years in smallville....
through all the ups and down (mostly downs)...
and know that the show is at odds with itself... (a show about clark becoming superman, but never about putting on the suit to complete the journey)..
....you would rightly feel ripped off at the end.
Especially if you like the cast and feel emotionally attached to the cast (I felt sorry when THIS pa kent died), and want to see them at their characters best.
It felt like a TREMENDOUSLY CHEAP COP OUT. Here you have this intentse-ley emotional scene of a dead pa kent coming back to hand his son the superman suit.
the same suit they'd been building up all season with....
And you DON'T EVEN GET A FULL HERO SHOT OF HIM IN IT. just a few blurred far away images, and one 1/4th close up of him next to a plane, IIRC the ending correctly.
Even with the show mantra 'no flights, no tights', that's an incredible dis service to the fans....who stuck out an arguably questionable show just for the big reveal at the end.
that's why people care about this particular one ;o).
If you don't feel cheaped out by this one... ;o)
