2007’s final “Smallville”
remote.lohudblogs.com/2007/12/17/2007%E2%80%99s-final-%E2%80%9Csmallville%E2%80%9D/
Ya know, I knew from the very first scene that Clark seemed a bit odd in the most recent ep of “Smallville.” I couldn’t pinpoint what was different about him, but at the end we found out that Clark wasn’t really Clark—and may be Milton Fine. That subtle change in Clark’s facial expressions and demeanor proves that Tom Welling is an actor to be respected and not just a pretty face. (Yes, he picks dopey features films, like “The Fog” and “Cheaper by the Dozen,” but he’ll pick something decent – or something decent will pick him – one of these days.) And I should have suspected that Clark was really someone else when he insisted that Lana continue her exposure of him. Had he really been Clark, he would have jumped with joy over the news that Lana was dropping her fixation.
Okaaaay…. Grant/Julian and that Belle Reve escapee Adrien are test-tube clones and share the same memories—or something like that? I couldn’t quite sort that one out. Will someone straighten it out for me?
Meanwhile, the secret romance between Lois and Julian Luthor/Grant is kaput. Lois, honey, it’s never good to fool around with the boss, especially when he’s a Luther. Hey—at least there was some chemistry between them, unlike the barely-there sparks between Chloe and Jimmy (doesn’t he now want to be called “James”?). Perhaps that’s because he still has the hots for Kara, who (sorry, James) is waaaaay out of his league.
Due to the writers’ strike, this was the last of the first-run “Smallvilles” for what could be for, well, God only knows. Six months or more. I don’t feel sorry for the writers. I feel sorry for the folks whose livelihoods depend on the shows they work on, such as the caterers, makeup and wardrobe people, the crew members, etc. For better or for worse, there truly is no business like show business.
