Overall Smallville is the blueprint for any comic based tv show. There were a few cheesey parts that they should never have used or fleshed it out. The Red Arrow kid was lame. Darkseid and the whole build up to a battle should have been definitely been fleshed out. It would have been better to see Clark in costume and not computer generated.
I will give props to tying the series finale up with showing Luthor becoming President, which they did in season one, and showing his trials from the past seasons. The faithful who have been watching for 10 seasons were able to see Superman in the end a payoff for the everyone who had been watching the last 10 years. I was glad to see this last season that everyone that had been part of the decade spanning story was able to make a brief cameo here and there. Kristen Kreuk aka Lana never appeared. The other disappoinments were all the "Justice Leaguers" never appeared on screen and The Hawkman Hawkgirl story never came to pass. There was actress who signed to play Hawkgirl at the beginning of the season. There was an article posted here on comicvine.
Overall very good. Began strong, stayed strong, and ended strong. The heroes and villians stayed true to therer comic book counterparts and did not get too far off comic book reservation status.
