Never watched Birds of Prey, but I'll assume you're right. Because this is just crap.
Lana isn't dead. I wish to hell that she was, but deep down, I know she isn't. Remeber, before she died, a truck went in front of Lionel? You didn't see her body. She's not dead. "BUT THEN WHY WAS LIONEL SO SURE LOL?" because the writers suck. Which brings me to my next point. The dialogue in this episode was so contrived. I'm getting really sick of Tom Welling's little temper tantrums. Apparently, the Superman mythos start when Clark Kent is whiney, good for nothing teenager. You have laserbeam eyes and can bench press manhatten. Your life is not that bad.
And Bizarro...good lord, Bizarro. What the hell? You want to make Zod a ghost thing that posses Lex Luthor? Fine. You want to take Lex Luthor, and rather than making him a genius Astrobiologist, just another bratty kid? Fine. YOU TAKE BIZARRO AND MAKE HIM A PHANTOM WITH CLARK'S DNA?? Bastards. They took away everything that made Bizarro interesting. He's an imperfect clone, not a "more perfect" version of Clark. Idiot writers.
One last point. Stop beating the crap out of Clark. Lets be honest; no one reads (or watches) anything about Superman because they want to see him lose. He's ****ing Superman! You want to see him knock the **** out of the villains that no one else can take on. In Smallville, any idiot with some menial meteor rock power can hand Clark his *** on a platter. Watching him fight is just embarassing. And for the few fight scenes that you DO throw in amongst the stupid drama, stop using your dumb, blurry slow motion. God. The Matrix came out years ago. You've seen, Heroes, haven't you, Smallville special effects people? Well, look at the way Nathan flys. It's way cooler than your dumb, blurry, slo-mo crap.
Dear everyone involved with Smallville,
You're ruining Superman. Lets just forget that the last four seasons ever happened. We'll never speak of this again.
Love,
Wade Wilson
