I need to get this off my chest...
I’m really enjoying Smallville at the moment!
:-O
Yes it’s true! Smallville is a funny old show, isn’t it? I watched most of the first five seasons, and it was very by-the-numbers and pedestrian, not exactly brian-taxing. I actually edited the official magazine for it, but stopped watching it when I left the magazine. There was just so much other stuff to watch!
However, a friend told me that he was watching it last year, so I felt less embarrassed, and I started watching it, and it’s actually not bad.
And then, the final season started on E4, and I stored them on my BT box to watch...and I really couldn’t be bothered...But I started watching and now I’m hooked!!!
Yes, it’s still quite lame – the dialogue can be hammy and the music is so dour – but the effects are amazing, and there’s a real pace to it now – more of an ongoing storyline.
It’s actually a real shame that no one has been watching it, because the show features its own takes on characters such as Deadshot, Darkseid and Suicide Squad. And Supergirl just returned, but she sounded like she was from Canada more than from Krypton...
So yes, Smallville is a bit lame and rubbish – but I think once you’ve accepted that, it’s quite watchable. I’m hooked!

I also enjoy Smallville, even though it's a bit rubbish. Erica Durance makes the show, for me. I've only managed to catch the second episode of this season, so I think I'll just have to wait and rent the box set now.
I recently came back for the last series, and this weeks episode made me want to run head first into a wall, A Christmas Carol meets national Lampoons High School Reunion? Puh-leese A complete waste of James Marsters, a complete waste of an hour of my life and a complete waste of a final season episode that could be used to push the story forward. Last weeks Erica Durance as an S&M stripper - now that was fan service.
oh no!
well i tune in expecting it to be shit, and am happy when I'm surprised!
Mmm. For some reason I now feel compelled to seek out last week's episode.
I've stuck with it throughout, though I do wonder why as I hate Superman. I like Tom Welling and Erica Durance though, and Chloe, and I'm glad Lana's gone as I hated her.
I would never in a million years thought that Rol H watches Smallville!!
