My Ideal Superman and SV Casting Spoilers

[moonshayde]

Okay, so I did that Ideal Superman quiz and I got Dean Cain. Interesting. I'd post it, but my computer crashed and I'm too lazy to redo it right now LOL

Also, I'm sure you've all heard but...

Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kreuk will not be back as series regulars.

*cries*

I love Lex. I love him to pieces. I am very sad about this. MR is my fave Lex out of all the Lex Luthors I have watched. For me, SV was all about Clark and Lex and the choices they made. It was a parallel journey. But, both he and KK are looking to negotiate some limited appearances so they'll still be around in some capacity. But I'll still miss him.

I'm sad for KK, but I admit she was my least favorite character. It's not that I hate Lana. I didn't like how prolonged Clana was and I also felt the writers had nothing to give her. As an actress, she must have been frustrated that her character really didn't have much to do. They certainly tried several times, and I appreciated the Small arc in S2. I *like* Lana this season. So it will be sad to see her not as a regular, but at the same time, I hope this gives the writers a chance to write Clark unattached and moving on in his life. Just please don't make her a martyr, PTB.

I assume that everyone else will be back.

We'll see what happens. If handled right, S8 could be pretty good. Maybe Clana can be put behind us, Clark can focus on journalism and his destiny, and we can see more with Lois, Chloe, and Jimmy.

MR drew me into Smallville, and I came in on Season 2. I'm a Lex girl all the way, and while I've been frustrated with what they've done to him in past years, SV is just not SV without him. He truly made the show for me. Hopefully, he will put in appearances, but I worry what this will do to the big bad if Lex Luthor isn't around.

I've always been more of a Chloe girl, no real taste for Lana, so that doesn't disturb me as much as Michael leaving. But, here's to hoping they get back on track, and Clark on track.

I am going to miss what little we'd get of Lex and Clark though. That relationship sold the show for me.

My speculation (and it is just speculation) is that they might try for more Brainiac in Lex's absence. Though, MR does seem interested in coming back for some episodes, so I keep hoping. It still won't be the same without him. The show is built on Clark and Lex.

Why do I lose my fave characters in all my shows???

Hopefully, Chloe will be back because I love her, too. Lana is my least fave, but I'm still sad to see KK go. But maybe Clark will be able to move on and get on track now.
