Smallville fans hated the witches storyline in Season 4
Over on the r/Smallville subreddit, u/jason_kandel (https://www.reddit.com/r/Smallville/comments/jxtot2/how_does_nobody_feel_bad_for_jason_teague/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) posted about their belief that Jason Teague (Jensen Ackles) was a sympathetic character who was unfairly hated by fans. However, one thing they did note was that the Season 4 witches storyline did not hold up to scrutiny. "That Season 4 witch storyline is the worst story arc of the entire show," they said. "I found it to be really stupid, but Season 4 otherwise is elite."
The storyline in question focuses on Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) being a descendant of Isobel Thoreaux, a witch. One of the main storylines of Season 4 was Clark's quest to find the three Stones of Power, which were Kryptonian crystals that, when combined, would allow Clark to create the Fortress of Solitude. However, Isobel was after the stones herself, and she ended up possessing Lana in Season 4. For a lot of fans, this storyline simply didn't work.
In another post, u/Davecub1979 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Smallville/comments/lfg2m2/comment/gmlrqx9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) shared their opinion that the storyline didn't actually amount to much. "It was largely pointless ultimately," they said. "I think the original plan was to lead to more stuff in Season 5 as Jason Teague was supposed to stick around, but Jensen Ackles got the Supernatural gig and an early exit from Smallville." While there's no way to be sure if Ackles would have actually returned, it's clear that a lot of fans don't really hold the witches storyline in high regard.
