I'm very optimistic for S8. Plus, they know it's the end and they are going to plan for it. S8 should wrap everything nicely, imo.
I'm still sad about MR. He's my fave Lex ever. I knew the actor had been talking about it for some time, but he does seme open to some appearances in S8 which will be great if it happens. Lex of S1-3 was exceptionally written. he was still pretty good in S4-5. S6...I don't know what happened. As much as I like the idea of Lex trying to take everything that Clark cherishes (in this case Lana) the Lex/Lana thing just did not work like it should have. I think it really damaged Lex's character. I've enjoyed him this season, though. And I also appreciate that Lex has different layers and complexities, even contradictions around him. Bringing him in at a limited capacity in S8 might be perfect for his character.
Lana is not my fave character at all, but I have no beef with her as a character. TPTB just made horrible choices in making her the damsel in distress and nothing more. They have been struglging to do something with her since like S2. Instead of trying to develop her into her own character, they kept with the boyfriends and the secrets and she just never really went anywhere. it's really a shame. i think she could have been a fantastic character.
So, hopefully, they'll do her character justice as the season closes and she'll settle into a nice comfortable friendship with Clark in whatever eps she has left this season and next.
