If no one here is, I'll probably find a fan forum when the outline is farther along.

I've been dating someone who, in her own way, reminds of quite a bit of Mia. I've been watching Katherine McNamara in her latest projects (a godawful romcom in MONTANA MAVERICKS, an okay indie thriller in SUGAR, a mediocre yet beautifully filmed Hallmark called TRUE JUSTICE: FAMILY TIES) and she doesn't remind me of Mia at all in these roles... but I feel really sad for her.

She was being prepared to serve as the lead of the Arrowverse; Stephen Amell granted her his approval and handed over his bow; McNamara was looking at 4 - 6 years of GREEN ARROW AND THE CANARIES... and now she's doing supporting roles in films and lead roles in TV movies. Warner Bros. sold the CW and the Arrowverse is not coming back.

I can't do anything for Katherine McNamara, but I could certainly help Mia get to the bottom of William's disappearance.

I feel like if this was Smallville: the Later Years, the show would be fairly similar.  I think Clark wouldn't be Superman, having retired, but I think he may still do work for Sam Lane and the DOD.  I think it would be Clark and Lois retiring to Smallville to raise their kids in peace with Clark wanting a quieter life.  The plot of the show is mostly about Clark Kent anyway so I don't think you'd need to change much.  And if Tom Welling wanted to wear the suit, I think they could've played it exactly like Superman & Lois did.  If they didn't want to, Clark could still stay in the action in his flannel.

I really don't think much would really change.  And now I'm a little sad we didn't get that, as much as I liked the show as we got it

Well, I think, in this scenario, Tom would have to wear the suit, but SMALLVILLE VOLUME 2 would still have Clark and Lois returning to Smallville after being unceremoniously laid off or fired from the Daily Planet.

But the way it ended was great and I wouldn't have changed it.

I do think the Doomsday plot was one of the weaker parts of the season.  I don't really understand why Bizarro worked with Lex, and I don't understand why Bizarro came back to life when he died but Clark didn't.  Wouldn't Clark be Doomsdayed as well?  I probably would've had Doomsday leave once Lois talked to him and never come back.  If you want to be done with him, he flies into the sun back then.  If you want to redeem him, you send him out into space and show some sort of tag where space doctors turn him back into Bizarro.  I don't know.  But I never understood why he was working for Lex and so that whole plot made no sense outside of him just being a force of nature that Clark couldn't defeat on his own.

I finally got the chance to watch the Superman and Lois series finale. I got tears in my eyes. I didn't think it would be possible on a production like this but the writers really went all out and tied up the finale almost perfectly. I would have liked to have seen other characters have more wrap up time (perhaps more focused on Nat and John a bit and others without being super long on the Lana Lang wedding).

I thought it was one of those scenes that you realize Doomsday isn't all a monster. For just a moment we see the real bizarro world Superman emerge as he allows himself to be destroyed by the sun. Finally, he doesn't have to be a monster under Lex's control anymore. It's a scene of mixed relief, sadness, and disappointment that Superman has to die in order for Doomsday to die. And you can see Clark's face as he comes to this realization as well.

Jonathan and Jordan both got some nice upgrades as adults. Watching Lois get her cancer again and die from that was really hard. Did anyone else notice the homage to the Superman original movie (1979) Lois Lane in one of the last scenes where she and Clark are old?

I'm not sure that I like seeing Superman get old. But it sure fits the timeline of this show, which I thought was done well. Superman is a timeless classic hero who is supposed to be eternal. At least for the lifetime of the sun itself. But, with Superman losing his Kryptonian heart, I guess that this is the most logical conclusion. Had the writers had more time they could have given Superman his heart back and returned things back to normal I am sure.  I really do, however, enjoy how it was implemented for Superman and Lois.

The series finale is highly recommended watching and the entire show is highly recommended too, especially if you're at all a fan of Superman.

I really don't think much would really change.  And now I'm a little sad we didn't get that, as much as I liked the show as we got it

SMALLVILLE was about Clark as a teenager to their mid-20s. What if Tom Welling and Erica Durance returned to play Clark and Lois in their mid to late 40s? And of course, the continuity and cast of Seasons 1 - 10 would be retained, so Luthor would be Michael Rosenbaum, Sam Lane would be Michael Ironside, and Clark has already fought Bizarro and Doomsday.

What could have stayed the same and what would have had to change? What would have been the story of Clark from his teenaged years to his 70s?

I think they just did a great job with what they had.  Especially, considering when they announced the budget and the casting issues, I figured the whole season would take place in the Phantom Zone (which would just be the Kent farm with a red filter).  Until you mentioned it recently, I'd completely forgotten about that.  Which, I suppose, was the point.

Sometimes, it's very noticeable when the budget is slashed.  I think in this instance, I think they did a great job.

Ever since the first season, I'd been musing that Clark could do more for the world with a charitable foundation than with supersaves, so I liked seeing that play out in the finale.

I have no idea who the cameo was.  I googled it and it's Bitsie Tulloch's husband who I had never heard of.  I was hoping for some kind of connection to either the Arrowverse or the greater CW Superhero universe (i.e. Smallville) but I have no idea how they would've done anything like that without doing some kind of ridiculous turn that wouldn't have fit. 

All in all, a wonderful end to a wonderful show.

Probably not Allison Mack!

Definitely not! LOL

There's a lot more happening that I hope to type about in the next few days.
