I put season 9 of Smallville right up there with season 1 of The Flash, Season 1 of Superman & Lois, and Season 2 of Arrow as one of the best seasons of comic book tv that the CW produced. That's how tightly scripted it was, especially for the network. Clois was definitely the heart of the season. But as great as it was here, it's even better in 10! By the end of the show, I found Chloe and Oliver to be okay, but he had better chemistry with Tess, Lois, and Dinah. They put Oliver with the female he had the least amount of sexual chemistry with lol. But it was fine. My thoughts align with yours as far as least favorites, except I'd swap out Conspiracy for Warrior as my third least favorite. Roulette is definitely my least favorite of the season and the only one I skip on rewatches. My top 3 episodes for the season were, 3) Rabid (I really love this episode), 2) Idol, and 1)Salvation. Honorable mention to Charade Lois and Clark were the MVPs of the season and they'll continue to be through the conclusion. Can't wait for the Season 10 reaction!

So many good episodes this season for sure! Martha Kent as the red queen was one of my favorite plot twists of the show. Who else could know and protect Clark so well? She has the knowledge and now has connections and power due to her being a senator. It made her decision to leave smallville seem more realistic knowing that she has been doing everything she can to protect Clark behind the scenes and working with Martian man hunter against checkmate.

I agree with Oliver having better chemistry with Lois, Tess, and Dinah. I really thought we were getting some Oliver x Dinah since there was a mention of “friendly emails” between the two of them. But I also really enjoyed Oliver and Tess’ scenes too. They had history and they didn’t get to have that full fledge relationship because Oliver was too scared to go the next level with Tess. Tess caught him with another girl (probably flirting not cheating), but even then he didn’t really stuck around to explain, apologize, or say goodbye. So there is trust issues on her part and later on Oliver starts having trust issues with her too. Which is understandable because Tess is the “villain” despite having good intentions (save the world). Tess does have a vulnerable and good side to her, Oliver has seen this and knows deep down that she is the same Tess that he loved in the past. That was why he was truly disappointed, hurt, and wanted nothing to do with her when he found out about her helping the enemies even at the risk of getting others killed or worst..the whole world. I don’t blame him, but still UGHH. I would have love to see Oliver and Tess in good terms whether if they become friends or giving their love another chance. But the writers had a different idea and we got Chlollie. I guess I’m kind of indifferent to it? It can be possible to fall for someone who has been through crazy and life threatening experiences like Chloe and Oliver. Chloe literally saw Jimmy getting killed and he died in her arms (I think there’s still some guilt inside of her) even though the show just doesn’t really dwell on that. They did cover it with Chloe diving straight into Watchtower, but she did went too big sister/brother and step over boundaries. But she seems to be trying to find the balance and I guess in a way mending her friendship with Clark in terms of trust/boundaries. As for Oliver, he’s been through a lot and I mean it’s hard to get over someone as fantastic as Lois Lane. Then the whole “murder of Lex” and falling back to alcohol..Ollie has been in and out of dark side and it was Chloe..even though it was a risky/extreme way of guiding him back to the LIGHT. So yeah maybe Oliver started to see her in a different light..owing her his newfound perspective in life. They’re already comfortable with each other and there’s no secrets between them. I don’t want to say it’s a convenient relationship because obviously they grew and progressed as a “couple” to the point where he tells Chloe “he loves her” in the finale. But still… I’m just like OKAY.. I GUESS..if they’re happy..I’m not mad at it. 😂

It never did sit right with me how Oliver treated Tess after how he left her. He'd clearly forgiven Chloe for the whole Doomsday fiasco which also almost got him killed. Tess did some terrible things but he never seemed to take accountability for his part in the path she took. And I won't go into how he treated her in season 10. If anybody should have given her a hard time it should have been Clark. My biggest grievance with Chlollie at the end of the day was what it did to Oliver's character. He became 100 percent about Chloe and it made the character less enjoyable. But by the end Clois and their respective journeys were so great that it didn't affect my enjoyment of the show at all.
