Plot holes so big /inconsistencies
Hi,
Ive been watching Smallville off and on for years.
I tuned in to watch the latest episode and I was a little boggled by what I saw.
Im going to go through and list them as I watched the episode.
A) Kara was trapped in the circle ring. Okay I get that. THe way to get her out was for someone else to touch the symbol of Darkseid? Average trap. Im assuming the baddies can read their own language, If Oliver can work it out anyone can
B) The double shot to get to the inner sanctum. 2 shots fired at the same time to exactly hit the centre. Again, Im not seeing the issue here, Darkseids followers are augmented by his power Im guessing. Im sure they could of recruited 2 archers or hell fired themselves with the accuracy required.
C) Calling away Kara? Seems pretty much a reason so Granny could grab the bow from Oliver and then destroy it. This is weak plotting. Hell it was almost as if Jor el had run the AI supercomputer and worked out that Kara needed to be elsewhere so Granny could destroy the Bow. Was Orion defeated by his Father even when he had the bow? Confused. I feel like all these trap defeats and the exploration were pretty much filler.
D) Jor El uses some pishposh destiny speech to get Kara out of action. Its almost like they introduced the character and then realised having another hero in the mix would destablise what little remained of the plot holding it together.
E) Was okay with Lois getting the powers. She handled them better I guess than Lana. We had the obligatory 'All these voice crying out in pain' discussion.
F) Stargirl was the lady in the skimask? Really? Brain controlling device.. check. She was going to use her club? Does not she have some KICK ASS STAFF WEAPON? Just.. poor story there
G) Reasoning behind Lois as SuperLois voluntarily accepting the mind control? Unbelievable.. Lois kills Toymaker. Toymaker dead. Plan over. ....
H)Lois breaking up with Clark. Yaa, another relationship Jor El has ruined. Although anyone with an eyepatch could see this coming a mile off.
A Pretty poor penultimate episode for this series.Comment

Lois should have taken that chip, destroyed it, ran to Watchtower and took care of Toyman's henchmen. Why Lois did something so stupid? For the writers to waste an episode.Comment

Thing I found weird was when in one scene Kara meets Oliver and he says nice to meet you the first line, the very next line was so you haven't been checking in at Watchtower for awhile(as if they life long buddies)Comment

This... and Indiana Queen and the Raiders of the Lost Bow coming to nothing... how... badly written.Comment

If they did an extra episode, this episode probably would still be the last episode before the 2 part finale.Comment

Well Lois isn't a killer and once he sends a bunch of people out to kill Clark killing him wont stop them, but that being said, Dark Archer, Roulette? These people were who she didn't think she could protect Clark from? Maybe Mettallo might have given her a fight but last we checked he had squishies for her so I think she could talk him down... seriously...Comment

It is, but look at how many episodes these writers have had to tell a story that everyone knows the ending to. They're simply out of ideas, IMO, and certainly don't have the talent to write a full season that has consistency to it, even if it is the last season. There really is something to be said about shorter television seasons where you eliminate the filler. If Smallville was cut in half so it ended up being 110 episodes, I bet we would have had a much tighter story and far better characters. And I also bet that there are somewhere around 100 episodes of this show that you can eliminate because they have a lot of filler.Comment

Jor-El to Kara in Supergirl:
Help Clark. He's weak. He's needs help to defeat the Darkness.
Jor-El to Kara in Prophecy:
Get lost. You're in Clark's way. Go find you're own planet to save. This Planet isn't big enough for the both of you.
Kara should of been the one to pull the plug on Jor-El.
This El family is totaly disfunctional.
Nuff said.Comment
