It's a two-hour Smallville finale, which means it's two, two, TWO times the awfulness! Okay, so maybe some of the episodes this season have been halfway decent, but it's really not hard to deliver when people's expectations are so low. After all, this show has been disappointing people for ten years -- it's gonna pleasantly surprise them at least once or twice. But those ten years have all built up to this one episode, and a big chunk of it is gonna be about a wedding we've all known was coming for at least half that time. How can it possibly fail to let everyone down?

We'll admit that we were initially psyched about the introduction of more superheroes and supervillains to the mix on Smallville -- it certainly beat the endless, drawn-out love triangles and even the generic "freak of the week" stories of the early seasons. But this... this might be too much. A two-hour special TV movie event, in which Clark discovers that there was a group of heroes before the Justice League -- called the Justice Society -- that nobody has ever mentioned or heard of before now? Even though there were over a dozen of them, they all wore brightly-colored costumes, and one of them flew around on his giant wings? This whole time, Clark, Green Arrow and the rest of the never-seen Justice League have been presented as the first team of superheroes. They can barely put together good superhero outfits that don't involve hoodies somehow, and now it turns out there have been heroes for years? We'd be excited by the introduction of the Society, with its great array of characters, if it wasn't so utterly out-of-the-blue.
