----
* Jonathan Kent's ghostly appearances in Series 10. Did he [[BackFromTheDead really return from the grave]] to impart advice? Or was he merely an avatar of Jor-El, who recognized that his own tense relationship with his son might prevent him from adhering to his advice, thus choosing AFormYouAreComfortableWith as "Jonathan" is the only person he knows Clark ''will'' listen to?
* The Luthors: Are they [[CulturedBadass cultured badasses]] and misunderstood [[TheWoobie woobies]], or are they [[{{Jerkass}} utter bastards]] whose [[FauxAffablyEvil cultured exteriors are just a thin veneer]] hiding the complete seediness underneath?
* Lex: Misunderstood woobie or selfish prick who's [[NeverMyFault way too eager to blame others for his problems]]? Was [[FaceHeelTurn his descent into evil]] the result of a WellIntentionedExtremist JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope or a result of SanitySlippage?
* Is [[Comicbook/GreenArrow Oliver]] the true star of the show, or is he just a misguided AntiHero? You decide!
* Is Chloe's transformation into a [[BigBrotherIsWatching Big Brother-like figure]] to "protect" Metropolis in Season 9 the result of post-traumatic stress in reaction to Jimmy's death?
** Happens InUniverse with the Native American Kryptonian prophecy. Anyone with the immense powers prophesied would surely be corrupted by it, and his so-called archenemy would require immense courage to face him, so who's the real hero here?
* Which party was truly responsible for Clark and Lex's friendship falling apart?
* Was Lex's paranoia, jealousy of Clark and obsession with the strange what doomed his and Clark's friendship? Or where his extreme actions understandable, maybe even justified reactions to the weirdness that Smallville attracts?
* How justified was Clark in keeping his secret from Lex? There are a few times where Clark's insitence on keeping his friend in the dark could be questionable at best like when he left Lex in a mental hospital he shouldn't have been in just because Lex had discovered his secret. Later seasons clearly show the value of Clark having allies that are aware of his powers.
* In "Unsafe", does Alicia understand the GRatedDrug nature of Red Kryptonite, or is she being honest when she claims to think that it's something that makes you act on your heart's desires? Given how she only found out about Red Kryptonite through [[HandWave unspecified]] second-hand means, it's possible that she didn't understand what she was doing to Clark.
