Okay so it's a definite that the WAG strike played a huge part in the rushed plots and the missing holes. Smallville and cast did what they could this season with what they were given. Bizarro was a great episode and well played. Brainac needs to go and stay gone. Sorry James Marsters did great job as Spike on Buffy/Angel but his screen time on this show does not really sale it.
As for the season, it has it's ups and downs. As said before the WAG strike really did put a dent in the whole season. Things that were done really well. Kara as Supergirl, it was a worry spot in the beginning but I think they found a great way to use her. Black Canary was a fun little guest star. All in all, if you have been watching the Smallville for this long, you need to get this and you've seen even worse episodes than some of the ones in this season.
What's great about it: JLA apperance, Kara and Bizarro
