Smallville has got to be THE series for serious fans of superman.

Bravo! A person who has a different opinion; I like this. Mechanical, you say? How so?
I do agree about bringing in characters and plots that were never in the original script, but hey, it's an original view on the whole thing. At some point they would have needed to depart from what was already written, and create their own on-going plot. What they did was make the series so that from the beginning it would be tailor-made to add what they might need in the future. They didn't want to be ham-strung by technicalities.

I used to watch Lois and Clark. That was good. He was too dorky though.

I've always asked myself this question and I'm probably not the only one: How can you NOT recognize someone, just because they stop wearing glasses?! I go to great lengths to change my clothes, my hair, my entire look; and do people shake their heads, wondering who this new dude is? No. You'd have to be really out of it NOT to recognize that Superman is Clark Kent.

Now, yes they love Tom Welling, but Clark Kent really gets to them, too. In fact, I heard some chick saying something about this just a little while ago at a bar. Don't ask me what these two girls were doing discussing smallville, but...ah well, just don't ask is all. One girl said, "Oooo, I would love to have a guy like Clark Kent. That Lana girl is just plain stupid. Can't she see that he loves her?"

nice one right there... mechanical or technical is prolly a good term for that matter.
the first 3 seasons was fairly laid out. but watching this 6th season turns out to be so obsurd! many things happnin within smallville and yet the world just shrug its shoulders and under mind smallville.. rockets have been launched graves digged etc etc. its out of control. i agree with you that i think the producers is havin a hard time stretching more stories to this season. at first i thought this whole series was just to show how young Kent grew up and ended in metropolis. so many sidelights.. it reverts to the very heart of the story.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I think it would add a whole new dimension to the series. I have a feeling, though, the producers may never get around to it, because they would feel that it would bring their baby creation too close to the Superman movies and other stuff that had already been done.

I guess the appeal of the series is that it catches the humanity of Superman and lets us know that even though he may be bullet proof, and able to run faster than a speeding train, he still has struggles just as hard with issues that no amount of super powers could solve!

Well, we find out later WHY Lex wanted power, or at least, a good chunk of the reason. Seems that either in the fifth or sixth season of Smallville, we are confronted with Lex's love for Lana. In several scenes, we learn that Lex has to choose between one path that will lead to destruction, and another that could have given him most of everything he's ever secretely wanted. The only obstacle in him getting this fantasy reality to come true, is that he would have to accept Lana's death on his own shoulders.
What's crazy, is it seems no matter which way Lex turns, he cannot escape his future-a future where he will eventually be the one person with the power to hurt so many others. He tries, but these producers are crafty. Seemingly choosing for the sake of one he loves-in HIS mind, being the greater good, over his own happiness-he sacrifices a chance for redemption.
I feel like I have a real understanding of where this character is coming from. Apart from being nearly bald at the young age of 27, I have an over-powering father whose shadow, I have lived under for entirely too long.

I like your stlye. Didn't know that you could make myLot your homepage. I must have swung by there by accident, clicking on the wrong link. Cool stuff you got there!

Thanks.:)

I think it's time for a new av. The giraffe was very friendly, but I need to take some new photos.

Thanks for the "heads up".;>

MsRetro...can I picture you in dreads or hippie clothing?

Before Smallville came around that was my SHOW! I used to videotape marathon runs of Lois and Clark on the weekends. Unfortuanately, good ol' Dad, decided that that space would be better served for taping football games...aye!!!

I'm kinda bummed that I never got to see the episode where Dean Cain and Terry Hatcher have their honeymoon. I missed it because of some event that popped up.

For me, I could never get enough of the Smallville series. I want to see Clark grow into a man. He is, both on and off the set. I also want to see his other powers emerge. Flying would be cool, but I think that it would force the director in a direction that he's not willing to go.

I think that many episodes are similar, cause there are too series...

Where's this petition?...I'll sign it for sure.

Sorry, it was a mistake, the petition is for Gilmore Girls,
if you like this series you can sign the petition.
I want to ask you a thing, it's true that Lex has left the series?
