A wedding is usually cause for celebration, but, sigh, not when it means that Smallville is over for good. (And not when the best man tries to insert a kryptonite ring into the festivities, either, but we'll get to that...)In the end, Tom Welling's Clark Kent got the future he was always destined for—Erica Durance's Lois Lane and some natty Superman threads—but it's still hard to believe that 10 seasons just whooshed by faster than a speeding bullet.
As executive producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson promised us, the series finale provided at least a modicum of resolution for all and an absolutely adorable scene involving a door...
Heading into the finale, Lois was having doubts about taking the plunge, worrying, once she got a taste of his formidable powers, that she would hold her superguy back with her ordinariness. Clark even started to agree for a sec! But once she had read a copy of his vows, courtesy of Chloe, Lois knew she was being downright silly.
Meanwhile, Tess Mercer (Cassidy Freeman) was hitting every roadblock possible (literally) in her quest to bring credibility to Lex Luthor's evil empire, and Oliver was really getting his rage on (the black eyeballs gave it away).
And obviously, with Lois and Clark walking down the aisle only midway through the two-hour finale (even Clark's late dad (John Schneider) was there, we knew something was up. Sure enough, Oliver (Justin Hartley) tried to slip a power-killing ring on it, an on-the-ball Chloe knocked it out of his hand, Clark caught Lois in his arms in what looked like super slo-mo but was really super speedy time, and finally he was able to talk Oliver down from that slippery slope of evil.
Just in time to look out the window and see the fiery ball of Apokolips coming their way!
With the vows not swapped, we switch to Tess, who's been kidnapped by dad Lionel so that he can give her heart to someone that needs it—the prodigal son, Lex Luthor.
