Hopefully it'll be online on time, meaning one day later for me.

Yeah, that would be nice for our non-North American members.

Yeah, because the CW has really been dropping the ball when no new episode is airing the following week.

And that ends another season of S&L.
That was the best episode the show has ever done. I loved it so much. I'm going to be re-watching it immediately soon via the app. That's how much I loved it.
I literally can’t believe we just got a full-on Superman Vs Doomsday battle on tv and it was FREAKING AMAZING!!
Thank god it got renewed for Season 4!! I'd have been furious if this was the final episode.

That cliffhanger!! Imagine how upset everyone would be right now if the show had been canceled. I'm so happy we have another season.
I wonder if this was perhaps a send-off to some of the actors. With John and Natalie moving to Metropolis and Sam being incapacitated - I suspect the actors knew ahead of time they'd be regulated to recurring.
Also, was Bizzaro ever shown to possess reactivate adaptation in the comics? Or is this just unique to the show? Nevertheless - Doomszarro looked really good!
So Sam we know isn’t coming back next season is he just kidnapped forever now or is he going to be killed off-screen now?

Ending with Clark and Doomzarro charging each other. Glad the show got renewed, or I'd have to hunt the Cheap Wankers down and HURT them!
Yeah, what about General Lane? Since his actor won't be coming back, does that mean he's dead. Or will they just toss in a line saying that, following his rescue, he took a posting in Antarctica, or something.
I knew that Gretchen was no good once I heard her name. There was a character with that name that worked for Lex Luthor on Lois & Clark, so I suspected the same here. I was right.
Chrissy is pregnant with Kyle's baby. At first, Lana seems okay, but, when Kyle asks Chrissy to marry him, she seems to having second thoughts. Shame we won't even know, since all these characters will be gone when the show returns next year.
And Lana and John dating? Another story we'll not be following.
Still, a great finale all around.

What a great finale. I'd be so angry if we ended with that cliffhanger. I can't wait for S4.
Kyle and Chrissy are having a baby. Lana was okay but I don't think she is. We'll never see them again. At least we know they're happy.
Gretchen was trouble. The name was a giveaway she was on Lois and Clark as a minion of Lex. And now Samuel Lane might be dead.
I love the Clark and Doomzarro fight. I was really expecting it to end with Superman apparently dead, but it ended with them charging.

YAY! The link was up and I didn't have to wait too long for it.
Doomsday pulling off his spikes and using them as weapons is the craziest thing I've seen. What a freaking epic final shot.
That ending was so crazy.
I have this feeling that General Lane is going to just be killed off next season. Say next season starts funeral but it’s not Clark’s and is a fakeout and it’s Sam Lane, Clark is missing and probably somewhere out in space.

That was a crazy finale and really good. I'm so glad we got renewed and not canceled. When they said they would leave it on a cliffhanger, they really meant a cliffhanger.
I am hoping we will see the characters who aren't regulars appear in a few episodes each next season to wrap up their stories since those didn't feel as complete as they should have been. But maybe that was intentional. They can move the Kent to Metropolis and everybody else got some closure, apart from General Lane, who I expect to be killed off. Heartbreaking though, unless they end up putting him seriously injured with bandages covering his face and they re-cast him with no lines lying in a hospital bed.

Decent finale. Doomsday looked really scary and gave me the creeps.
Obviously, they could just kill Sam here with his actor not returning. But little odd to explain away Nat and JH if the Kents end up moving back to Metropolis. But if they stay, odd to explain where Lana, Kyle, Chrissy, and Sarah went.
I really liked the big fight in the end. It was really great. Lots of tension, making us think it's over, and ending it on that cliffhanger was quite a shock. I was convinced it would end with Superman impaled and left for dead lying in the streets.

I cannot believe they ended it like that! Crazy! So glad it got renewed.
I don't have any coherent thoughts right now, just a great episode.
I guess they're just going to kill Sam off-screen now? A shame. I knew his girlfriend was sus, just seemed off.

They took a big risk with this cliffhanger, as the episode was filmed before the CW made their decision. Legends made that same gamble, a year ago, and lost. Thankfully, this time,the gamble paid off.
I too wonder how the next season will open. Since all the supporting character will be gone, it seems pointless to leave the Kent family in Smallville. Where did everybody go? Having them move elsewhere is the only logical solution.
With the exception of General Lane, all the characters are fine. Chrissy can have her baby off camera, with Lois telling Clark and the boys about it.
General Lane is the tricky one. Since it has been confirmed that his actor will not be appearing, will they just say he's dead. That his body was found somewhere to send Lois a message that Lex is not to be trifled with? Hmmmm...
