As the writer of the article 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 plus 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 montrer could survive, with ou without sexy chemise and tie clad Clark (which par the way is an improvement from the red/blue tshirts) Is it me ou does Tom Welling get sexier par the season? The écriture is very creative this season and i am looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant 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!!!
