Smallville Season 10 Finale – Tom Welling Says ByeBye

It is the end of Smallville TV series. Smallville season 10 two-hour series finale aired Friday at 8/7c on the CW. Tom Welling, who played the role of the young Clark Kent, will leave the show with mixed feelings, having spent the last 10 seasons as a the young Superman who never actually became the real Superman in the series!

Executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders talked to TVGuide.com about the farewell episode of Smallville:

Peterson: We didn’t want to just do an ending, we wanted to do a beginning a little bit. What we were aiming for was giving people the emotion of knowing what’s to come because the end of this show lines up with every movie, a lot of comic books, and a lot of other things. Unlike a lot of shows, we know where this story goes, and so, it is a hand-off to those other pieces of canon and those other pieces of mythology, rather than just an ending.

Souders: What I would hope Smallville did was make one of the most recognizable heroes in the world accessible and made him sort of human to people so that they could relate to him and be inspired by him.

Peterson: When I watched [the finale], what’s interesting is you have this rush of, “Gosh, that’s what I’ve been waiting for all these years!” And then, immediately following it’s like, “Wait a minute. That can’t be the end!” We all know he has a whole new destiny and he has a whole future. That’s where our show leaves off and where the movies will pick up.

What do you think of the season finale?
