This whole thing, was just a filler season. First they introduced Kara Zor-El, but had no clue, what to do with her. And spent the season having Clark play house, with Lana. And then, both MR and KK announced, that they'd both be leaving the show. But, rather then the writers doing the reasonable thing and prepare, the actors departure. They did nothing. And threw in a story arc (Veritas), that contradicted the past and made zero sense.
Couldn't they've spent the last few episodes, writing Mr's Lex Luthor off the show (instead of having him disappear, when the Fortress collapses and then die a few months later. Thus causing the need, for the Alexander arc, that they're currently doing)? I've found it weird, that Lex remained in Smallville, past season 3 (after which, he became the CEO of Luthorcorp and his friendship, with Clark, was over). How hard would it have been, to write a subplot, into the last few episodes, involving Lex growing tired of Smallville and deciding to move away? And then have Clark go to the Luthormansion, in episode 20 and finds men packing Lex's belongings together, as he's going to move away, to california or someplace (he's a billionaire, he can move anywhere he wants). Everything's taken care off, Lex is no longer on the show, but he's still alive. No "is he dead or alive" cliffhanger, nor need of a mind wipe (as he wouldn't find out, Clark's secret).
And then, they could've just done a scene (with a body double), when they're doing the series finale. Where we see the back, of a bald man (obviously Lex), who's looking out of a window, as Superman flies through the sky (thus showing, that Lex did eventually move back, to Metropolis).
