As the writer of the Artikel Farewell :( i was compelled to write the following: I am enjoying Season 8 very much! I am pleasantly surprise how much in fact! Who could have guessed that even without MA and PA Kent, the evil Lionel Luther and his even Mehr dispicable son Lex that the writers could entertain us with other evil villians who have come to invade Smallville. I will admit that the signing of Allison Mack and the return of Lana did help. Without Chloe i dont know if the Zeigen could survive, with oder without sexy hemd, shirt and tie clad Clark (which Von the way is an improvement from the red/blue tshirts) Is it me oder does Tom Welling get sexier Von the season? The Schreiben is very creative this season and i am looking vorwärts-, nach vorn to a possible Season 9 that i understand Mr. Welling is in talks about. KUDOS to all involved for keeping Smallville ALIVE and worth watching!!!
