seriousficA high school guidance counselor figures out Clark's secret. Lex Luthor must really feel stupid. "I went crazy trying to figure this out, and all I had to do was ask the chick handing out pamphlets on eating disorders?" But then Brainiac 5 pops in (he's a good guy now. They must've uninstalled DirectX 2.0 from his operating system) and mind-wipes her. Thanks for helping out there, Brainy. Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday, Clark can handle that shit on his own, but a high school guidance counselor? He's lucky to have some help on that one.
Clark stops angsting, and all it takes is a killer robot from the future time-traveling to show him a clip show.
Clark hasn't interacted with Ollie at all since Ollie revealed his identity. Not even a "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!" speech for old times' sake? Douche chill!
Could that interlude with the girl serving punch be any weirder? It was so odd, Lois forgot to have sexual tension with a female co-star.
Lois pretty much goes full retard. Not only does she expect everyone to recognize her because she attended school in Smallville for a few weeks, but when Clark meets up with her in the future, she's unable to figure out he's a time traveler despite him outright telling her so. What I wouldn't give for SarahPalin!Lois to be a badass about this. "Oh, another time traveler? Well, don't panic, it'll sort itself out. Just head to this address, there are snacks in the fridge, make yourself comfy, and I'll call Rip Hunter."
Then future!Clark talks to PresentDouchey!Clark and... acts like a douche. Shouldn't this mature, awesome Superman!Clark be all smiles and "don't worry, believe in yourself and things will work out"? Instead, he manages to outdouche Clark.
Oh, and Greg "Bugboy" Arkin from the first season (the very first guy who tried to rape/kill Lana! Memories... Like the corners of my mind...) shows up to thank Clark for rehabilitating him. Really? As I recall, Clark crushed him like a... well, you know.
And Ollie took the most hostile interview ever and called himself a hero. Oh, Ollie, how is it you can even take responsibility for your actions like a douche?

LOL. Maybe THIS was one of the big surprises of the 200th---not the silent cold shoulder (been there, done that), but the absence of a SV ritual rebuke. What will those crazy writers do next?

Aww look, fan service for the many disappointed shippers. I'll admit it was weird and awkward, but I kinda enjoyed it. Where was the nod to the Clark/Lex sexual tension?
Speaking of Lois and her femslashy aura, I am puzzled you’ve not written a Lois/Tess piece. Or did I miss it?
As a Chloe/Davis shipper, I couldn’t help wondering where was Brainiac 5’s acknowledgement of his part in screwing up Davis’s life? Really, if you’re going for a full-faith confession and seeking absolution, there is one character whose public damnification you could correct...I'm just sayin'. (Yeah, still bitter.)

At least he's consistent, which saves me the bother of periodically questioning my assessment of him. :D
