The last few minutes of the show, after all the chaos had ended were what was the most gripping. We see Lois Lane in the Daily Planet office, talking to Jimmy Olsen and critiquing him on his pictures of Superman. We hear Editor-in-Chief Perry White ranting from his office about Lane getting the latest story on his desk. Clark Kent comes up the stairs and bumps into Lois, and of course when they know that nobody is watching or listening, a brief flirt as Clark shows her the rings for their wedding, which is supposedly for that afternoon. Just then, the word gets out that a bomb is set to go off in a fancier part of Metropolis. Clark takes to the roof, and with the classic Richard Donner Superman theme song playing in the background, he takes off his glasses, loosens his tie, rips open his shirt and we see the famous S shield of the Man of Steel!
It has been ten long seasons ladies and gentlemen, and in all that time, we have seen Tom Welling grow and develop as Clark Kent along the path that lead to this night. He has encountered every character that is synonymous with the Superman mythos, and a score of other DC Comics character, both hero and villain alike.
And so friends, the show has come to an end. But who knows what else will come, now that Smallville has closed its great book? We can only look up to the sky, and wish and hope. With those parting words, I bid you all goodnight
All I will say, is this was SUPER! Man of Steel CANNOT be better than this.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see my friend, we shall see.
ReplyDeleteI've already made up my mind. There is nothing that will convince me otherwise. I've been waiting for Finale for years, Man of Steel, not so much. Finale was definitely more "magical" for lack of a better word.
