I think the worst butchering of Smallville's very own mythos was last season with the Veritas plot and in Eternal. There are several other things this season & in seasons past, but nothing disappointed me more than what they did with Veritas & the Traveler. The mythos they created for this show with the cave in seasons 2 & 3, everything that happened with Lex on the Loeb bridge & his investigations with Dr. Hamilton, Roger Nixon, and Dr. Walden and the buildup of Lionel and how he learned about why Lex refused to join him in Metropolis in Duplicity & Red after offering him a job in Reaper and all the stuff with Lex & his brother Julian and everything that happened in Memoria were my favorite elements of the show. These are what attracted me most to the show because they elevated the Clark-Lex dynamic and added so many more dimensions, especially when the Lionel plot in season 3 kicked into high gear. Every aspect of these great, creative storylines were somehow contradicted and ruined by Veritas & the events in Eternal.
To me, this precisely was the worst butchering they ever did. I'll even say that the way they introduced Grant Gabriel was consistent with the past mythos they gave us. The problem with that was the disrespect they showed by giving it no significance. Grant was just killed off & never mentioned again. The butchering of the Lex storyline from Memoria happened in Eternal, and not even that was spared.
