The one with the Smallville season 7 review

Finally Smallville season 7 has ended. After a lot of uncertainty faced due to the writer's strike, I'm glad it came to a close.
My initial review of the season. Very, very disappointing. After the excitement from the last two seasons, they messed this one up. Especially the way season 6 ended with the surprise introduction of Bizzarro. And season 7 did start with great promise. But it kind of faded as the season wore on and the writer's strike probably effected the story.
Season 7 also saw the introduction of some familiar faces in the DC universe. Mainly Supergirl and also Black Canary. And one villain made his return, Braniac.
The one thing I enjoyed was the evolution of Lex Luthor. Every season we see the darkness creep into him. And probably this season was the final stage of the development of Lex. You can say this is the season Lex finally becomes the Lex we all know from the comics.
To cap the season off, Lex finally knows Clark's secret in the final showdown in the Fortress of Solitude.
Short post, due to my disappointment with the series.
