r/Smallville_

jonathan kent and lionel luthor are the reason clark and lex never stood a chance.

one raised his son on fear and secrecy.

the other raised his on control and manipulation.

and right in the middle of that… you had two guys who genuinely wanted to trust each other.

if even one of them had been a better father, things might’ve turned out completely different.

but here’s the part people don’t talk about enough...

jonathan doesn’t get nearly enough criticism.

everyone (rightfully) calls out lionel… but jonathan’s constant hostile distrust of the luthors and pressure on clark to keep lex at arm’s length played the biggest role. (i cant stand jonathan 😭😭)

worst father award.

clark wanted to believe in lex. you can see it early on.

but he was always being pulled back.

i’m not saying lionel wasn’t bad, he was.

but if jonathan had handled things differently…

i think clark and lex could’ve actually stayed best friends.

and as for lanas dad... he gets his own deadbeat award lol. awful parents from that and we dont talk about it enough

In honor of the ban finally being lifted let's share what we love about the finale season of smallville.

Please share your favorite parts of the season: Characters/Clois/ other ships/ scenes/ storyline/ etc.

I feel like Chloe never gets the credit she deserves…

SHE carried way more than people give her the credit for, and she was one of my favorite characters.

What’s a moment where she proved she was essential to the show for you?

For me it was when she was infected by Brainiac and still fought to hold onto herself long enough for Clark to stop it.

Even without powers she was literally at the center of saving the world in that arc.

She was the heart of the show for so many episodes

been a fan of this show since S2, I downloaded each episode weekly from emule and burned them to discs as a mix of svcds vcds and later on avis, these copies are cool as you have The WB/CW Logo on screen and sometimes promos for next week's episode,

Quality on most of these looks great save for s7 & s1, most of these older files are lost to time since theyve been replaced by blu ray and dvd rips 5-10 is still available if you look hard enough but 1-4 were not as lucky i havent seen them pop up ANYWHERE online

Anyways if there is enough interest i can share a torrent of these files, here are some screenshots of what they look like

This moment is so hard to watch! A character we knew from season 1 the very beginning who had so much time and development with Clark ups and downs, on and off, then just says their final goodbye, it's sooo emotional for me. Can't imagine how emotional it must've been for KK and Tom.

Let’s take a second to appreciate the REAL hero of Smallville, Smallville Medical Center. Because how many times does one set of characters need to go there 😂. It’s nearly every episode and it makes me howl how unbothered they are. They’re like oh yeah you lot again.

personaly I think Lois 😏
