No spoilers in this front section of my Smallville recap and review:

It is here. The moment we’ve all been looking forward to and dreading, all at once. Through the highs and some of the lows, this is what it comes down to, the series finale of Smallville on The CW. The episode much heralded by many websites throughout the last few months.
This final episode of Smallville was 90% pretty damn good. The story took care of many of the open stories and we got to see many past characters/actors. We didn’t see Pete, (Sam Jones III) because ["In October 2009, he was arrested by the DEA on charges of drug trafficking, with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute." TMZ] His loss.

The story in this final episode was good enough to keep me from being sad that this was the last ever new episode of Smallville. The last twenty minutes had many recap images of the previous ten years and it was then I started realizing how sad I was becoming that this was it. No more upcoming scenes.
FROM HERE ON OUT, SPOILERS are in this Smallville recap and review:

Over the last 10 years we’ve been introduced to Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Kristen Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley and many many more.
By ‘introduced’ I mean brought to our attention, not necessarily first time to TV.
Yes, he runs for a phone booth too!
Tom Welling has become a producer and other cast have come to be a part of our awareness as we start to follow them in other ventures. The most popular of the cast could very well be Michael Rosenbaum.
Through the last ten years, we’ve cried for the series to break the rules of ‘no tights’ but we’ve come to learn they had other legal obligations they had to operate by. We’ve never seen Batman or Wonder Woman or The Flash, but we’ve seen other characters or representations of these characters in different ways.
