they must have no story writing schools in canada



i feel like i have to vent my frustrations about the horrible season finale the writers of smallville have dealt to us. first let me say i am a big fan of smallville. i love the characters. i love the clever ideas they've come up with to fit smallville's story line fit with the original story of superman. what i am not a big fan of is the writing. the season finale just how untalented some of the writers on that show. where do i start? well, for starters, what season finales are supposed to be about are big things getting resolved that developed throughout the season. and to bring back viewers, you can introduce a new plot you can build on so that the viewers will long for and can't wait to see it develop next season. but what wb gave us was, they left us with nothing being resolved, and to top it off, they cut it right at the darkest moment of the whole story line. we were left with a lot of anticipation not longing for the show.



let me give you an analogy. say there is a candy sales man (wb), and we are the kids (the viewers). the candy sales man goes, "here, taste this. oh you like that? here is some more. and if you finish all of it, i'll give you the best part." then give you what you've been promised, then say, "well if you think that was great, next year i'll have something that will blow that away. but you'll have to wait." that's how it should have been. but what they did to us this season was more like... "here is some candy? oh you like it? then here is some more. and if you finish all of it, i'll give you the best part." then when we expect the best part, he spits in our faces and says, "fuck you. you'll just have to wait till next season for whatever i was going to give you."



another thing that they shouldn't do is make you hate the characters. especially the main character of the story. basically, you can blame just about every horrible thing going on with the story on clark's inability to make good decisions. he should have told lana the truth. out of everyone, she would be the most understanding. he should tell chloe to get the hell over it, and should have just told her in the first place. and of course his parents would have totally understood why he wanted to destroy the ship. instead, he is such a frigging moron, we just absolutely hate the main character.
