The negotiations got very tense and it’s reported that Mack’s representatives were using the departure of Michael Rosenbaum for everything it was worth. Not a bad strategy at all, since regular cast members and even the show’s creators have departed Season 8. Well, I’m still not sure about this show’s prospects but we have one important reason to watch next year.

For those scoring at home, Mack’s departure would follow that of Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) and oh yeah, the show’s creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Clark Kent, meet your greatest enemy of all: The Shark. And no, I don’t mean the old Green Lantern villain. Let’s just say that since Clark can’t fly, he’s gonna have to jump this one. A final season of Gilmore Girls reference would no doubt be appropriate here.

Of course, making it to eight seasons is more than I ever expected for a comic book show that threw out much of the comic’s mythology. You had a good long run, Smallville, you had a good long run.
