"Kneel before Kal-El" is one of the all time great Smallville endings. The future showed just how far Clark and Chloe's relationship would have deteriorated had Lois not returned. It's not in a great place as it is lol. On the Clois end, I have to take my hat off to the writers for developing the relationship as well as they did up to this point. From frenemies, to reluctantly admitted friends, to admittedly good friends, to partners, to where they are now. They met as young adults not knowing their place in the world and they each witnessed the other's heartbreak. To see them reach the point where they're willing to bet on each other as mature adult makes you really appreciate the journey they both to took to get here. If you were unaware of comic book canon, hearing Clark say "let's do it right, let's take our time," would have let you know that this was it for both of them. After season 8 it makes sense for Clark to be the one to do most of the pursuing. And this is maybe the most emotionally honest we've ever seen Clark (in his future conversation with Lois and in the present). For Lois I think it was more about trusting she wouldn't be hurt or left behind again. Her taking Clark's hand showed she was willing to take the leap.

I haven't had the chance to watch the reaction yet, but keep an eye on episodes ahead: 9x11 should be called "Absolute Justice" with a runtime of 84 minutes. This is a special episode "movie" but some streaming services / DVDs etc mistakenly split it or mis-arrange it. So if you see ep 11 called "Society" - it's actually the first half not the full episode. Basically, check the title of 11 and make sure it has the runtime of about 80ish minutes. Hopefully you can watch it in one sitting, as intended (not a 2-parter; aired as its own 84 minute version - and was heavily promoted in advance as such). If you're unsure, feel free to PM me the ep titles of 10 - 12 and I'll check if it's the correct lineup, or which are the two halves. :)
