I agree with the comments on how disappointing this finale was. We had to go through a WHOLE SEASON of the DOOMSDAY plot. A whole season!!!! And DOOMSDAY was such an emotional pansy, almost always bursting into tears, Chloe was more manly than him.

At least other seasons had more variety in theme. Some exploring the discovery of Superman’s powers, origin of villains, or forging of friendships with other super-powered beings. But going through 22 episodes about DOOMSDAY and watching this last one felt like a complete waste of time.

But at least we saw some fight scenes unlike Heroes where the audience watches 2 doors with some light effects streaming out the crevices during the finale fight scene only to see who emerges victorious in the end.

Aaron Ashmore will no longer come back so that’s the end of the Jimmy Olsen we are familiar with, but I bet his younger brother will become the “new” Jimmy Olsen that comic fans know idolizes Superman.

Lois is probably safe in the future with the Legion and some story arc is probably in the works for her to change everything back to normal when she gets back. This might even be reason to bring back those people we thought were dead… by coming back from the future, recreating the time line, and performing an event RESET. (Thank you Star Trek and Back to the Future)

In terms of Zod, didn’t Lex play him during the season 5 finale of Smallville. Why are we exploring that story arc again? Sure, Davis Bloome’s actor will now be playing the part, but I don’t see how a change of actor will change the way that story goes.

And finally, at least we saw Doomsday kill a part of Superman – Clark Kent – temporarily, but expect that guy to be raised back to life in seasons to come. It would be fun to see what a Superman driven by logic rather than emotion would be like (ala Future Superman in the Batman Beyond cartoon series).

For me, the best episode of the entire season was the one featuring Zatanna.
