I liked it! A lot. I can't believe, Lex knows. Wow. I am just in awe of how great this season was for Lex. I loved his friendship with Clark in the first three seasons and to be honest I was sad at its fracturing through seasons 4 and 6. I knew it had to happen but my biggest problem was how Lex was being written, there seemed to be little direction at times. But if you want to escalate him fully towards the dark side, then this is how you do it. All season long it seemed as if we were building to that moment when he kills Lionel and meets Clark in the fortress. He was so focused and had an actual team of people working for him that we saw for several episodes. I don't know why I liked that so much but I did. All his interactions with Clark, throughout the season, I just realized I think, how invested I am in these two.

I found myself a bit frustrated with Clark early on in the season but overall I think it was a good season for him too. For better or worse, Clark has wanted a normal life and he seemed to be getting that briefly but his life comes with such complications and so much baggage I can't help but feel sorry for him. I thought it was nice that the writers allowed him to have some say in his issues with Lana and it wasn't just that Clark was so mistrustful and Lana was completely justified. I think both had some valid issues with each other but I've noticed usually only Lana gets to say what's on her mind. But not this season. That was interesting. Clark was moved by everyone around him this season telling him what he should or shouldn't do, I felt his inner conflict and sometimes probably even frustration. His self doubt bothers me but his heart is always in the right place.

I can't say enough good things about Clark and Lex. I loved that Clark said he would always look out for the good side of Lex in Fracture. I think my heart melted. And then in Descent. Descent has to probably me my favorite episode so far. Top three definitely. In Descent it really becomes clear how dangerous Lex is because he believes he's right. And then their confrontation in the last episode. Lex saying he loved Clark like a brother and Clark nodding! Where can they go from here?? Please don't say memory being erased!!

I felt sorry for Clark and Lana. They tried so hard but it's just something or the other with them. It seems to me Lana is now definitely off the show because they seemed to be easing her off with her not in any episodes and then she broke up with Clark. I don't mind them moving on but did she have to break up with Clark like that?

I don't like Chloe's power and I still don't like her and Jimmy together. I thought Jimmy had better chemistry with Kara. But Chloe is growing into a hero of her own. I love that. The Clark and Chloe friendship is one of the highlights for me. They're like my safe zone in the show because no matter what I know they have each other's back. So how much did I cheer Chloe on in Traveler! And how much did I love how happy Clark was for her happiness in Apocalypse! So much. What a truly, beautifully written relationship. I'm really curious about what Brainiac said to her about what she was?!

I enjoyed the sibling like rivalry between Chloe and Lois this season too. It seemed fairly natural actually. I wish there were more scenes of them together though. I didn't think anyone could have less chemistry than Chloe and Jimmy but Lois and Grant happened. It wasn't a bad storyline, I actually liked Grant, but their scenes together were just too boring.

I like where the show seems to be going with Clark and Lois. Their friendship seems to be building consistently and it's a different kind of friendship that I think has snuck up on them. I really loved what Lois said about Clark in Siren and how she was there for him in Apocalypse and Arctic. I noticed this around Crimson last season and this season has just made me think even more, I actually think Lois has developed some real feelings for Clark. As in romantically.

I liked Kara but she was really wasted for a lot of the season. But some of her scenes were very good. She had some good chemistry with Jimmy and Lex.

Why did they bring Pete back for that?!

Brainiac was used much better in this season than season 5. I can see why he's such a pain in the ass because you just can't seem to get rid of him.

I tried to make sense of the Krypton/Lara/Zorel storyline but I failed. I'm just going to zone out certain things I don't understand, I've learnt from the stones storyline in season 4 lol. But it was really interesting that they tried to fill in some holes there in Veritas. That the Teagues were in pursuit of the stones regarding the traveler and how these four families were working together. Great stuff.

My favorites of the season were Cure, Siren, Traveler, Veritas, Descent, Apocalypse, Arctic,

Really excited for season 8! Please don't disappoint!

I agree, Tia. Having said that, 7x15 and 7x16 were both really good! Why couldn't the other episodes have been that good?
