Re: Smallville Season 8: Renewed by CW
Yes, they could pull it off, but my excitement for the season would be nil. Lionel has been so neutered by the writers the last few seasons that he could never be a sufficient enough antagonist. For two years now they've spun that character around to be on Clark's side. Without Lex, they'd have to create a new villain and lose the momentum of that conflicted relationship with Clark they've been building for seven years.
If Rosenbaum refuses to return, they should go ahead and end the show.
"If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world, for some reason or another, you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental."
-Richard Curtis, Screenwriter and Director
