Who watches Smallville?
What do you think about it?
What are some things your really like or dont like?

Its one of three shows that I try to watch every week, the other two are The Dead Zone and Monk. (They aren't in season, and Smallville season Finale is next week.)

As a superman fan I like that the actors are also fans. I like little things like Annette O'toole was Lana Lang in Superman 3, Lex Luther as a Good guy(most of the time) Chloe uses an "Alienware" computer at the school newspaper. These small things, plus the good acting and story telling make it very attractive.

The things I don't like are the things that can't possibally change. Like Clark should end up with Chloe, not lana, or lois. Lionel Luther Needs to get it out in the open and start trying to dispose of clark instead of countless accidents and whatnot they need to start doing things on purpose(ie clone clark) I hope they don't turn chloe into a badguy(girl)

What do you think about previous and upcomng episodes and the show in general?

ShadowWraith

I think its sad how chloe always gets cheated. Like at the end of that last episode and when she was revealing her feelings to Clark when he was barely concious and blurted out Lana. Other then that the show is getting kinda sappy its still pretty good.

This is one of my "don't miss" shows. The first season had a lot of the so-called "freak of the week" shows where some poor kid had some form of Kryptonite poisoning and ended up becoming a monster that died, but the second season has had more elements revealing who Clark will become and the turmoil he is going through when coming to grips with who he is.

The two most interesting characters, though, have got to be Lex & Lionel Luthor. It's fascinating to see Lex go from a "good" guy into small periods of darkness and wonder what's going to send him over the edge. Lionel is a real snake, and you have to figure that he'll play a huge part in Lex's undoing.

There's a lot to offer in this show, and I hope the WB doesn't screw it up by tinkering with what works.

All right...I just saw last Tuesday's episode, the one before the season finale...Loved it!! I'm a Superman fan, as well as a fan of the show. I loved how the original Superman theme kept playing lightly in the background throughout the episode.
I can't wait for the finale...it looks great!

I watch the show every week. I agree that Clark show go with Chloe. Lana just has too many problems. What's interesting is in the comics Lana eventually marries Pete!

I would also like to see them get Clark out of Smallville. Let him explore the world a little bit.

Also, I think they are going to have Chloe turn on Clark.

Great episode last night (season finale). They left us with a couple of great cliff hangers! I don't know if I can wait until next fall to find out what happens with Lex. Clark's run off...the Kents are grieving, Chole took a turn towards the darkside... great chaos going on.

Reese

Yah, the season finale was great. There is going to be alot fo look forward to next season. Chloe and Clark are both going to be in metropolis for a while and I have no idea what lex's storyline is going.

Do you think Lex's wife betrayed him? Is that what she was talking about with the father or was it not really her but some doppleganger?

Hmm a Doppleganger, Thats pretty interesting considering Lionel has been playing with cloning. I didn't think about that. I was kind of thinking that she had always been conspiring to kill lex but seeing how nice she seems to be I think its very possible that either she didn't kill him, it could be a doppleganger or she could have been kidnapped.

Lionel only successfully cloned people via the refined kryptonite. As Dr. Bryce didn't show any overt signs of mutation i dont think that was the case. I think she did do this and that it is another part of Lex's road to the dark side. *sigh* having to wait all summer long to find out = not cool

fhqwhgads

I think his wife definitely set him up, but you know that Lionel's hands have to be all over this. I wonder what will happen to Lex.

Obviously, he has to survive the crash. Do you think that it'll be a quick story line where a search and rescue plane picks him up in the first or second episode, or do you think that this will drag on? Kinda coincidental that Papa Kent just gave him a compass, 'eh?

I'm not all that interested in the other story lines, to tell you the truth. I could care less about what happens with Chloe. Martha and Johnathan will take the highground as usual and forgive Clark. Lana will wait for Clark to return, and then deny him as usual.

I am worried about Pete though. Pete will be lost, searching for another superhero to play sidekick to.

holtmate

I think that Lionel was behind that crash...she came back a bit too soon after being so mad. And I thought that Chloe turning to the dark side...especially her wearing all black was a nice ending. I can't wait for next season.

I was lost about one thing, primarily because I didn't follow the whole series. When Clark left, he put on the Kryptonite ring and it seemed to have changed him in some way. Can anyone tell me what this is all about?

fhqwhgads

While green Kryptonite physically harms him, red only changes his attitude. There was a whole episode dedicated to him getting his class ring and changing into "Bad-Boy Kent". Mildly amusing, but the episode didn't sit right with me for some reason.

Mondak

I sure had a good time catching up the last few weeks with this show. It is one of those things where you don't sit down intending to watch the show per se, it just happens to be on and you watch it. For me it has been Wednesday nights and the last few weeks they have played all the episodes from the previous season two at a time every Wednesday on WB. I have watched this show from time to time, but not with any level of continuity until now.

****************HUGE spoilers ahead***********


Well, now I can't wait until the season Premier on the 22nd of September (1 week). I will actually be on a plane when it is on, but I will use my VCR for the first time in years to make sure I get this thing. (Anyone know when they show replays if they do?) Either way - last season every event led up to the last 90 seconds of the finale. WOW! Not expected at all. Seemed like they would just keep going in the circle that they did with Lex / Lana / Lionel - unfinished conversations and business just so they could keep having episodes. Then - Lionel has Lex and Chloe killed and Clark is gone into the fissure in the cave. Crazy. When you see Lionel getting his head shaved, it all comes together.

For years you ask yourself in the background <i>I know Lex Luthor is Clark's enemy and yet how does he become the evil villan that he does. It seems like there is some good in him. </i>Well, looks like he doesn't. He is freakin Dead and Lionel becomes Lex in a way somehow. Maybe he just takes his name but whatever. It will be really cool to see what happens next with this stuff.

Anyone else like this show? Seems like some of you do - although this thread is pretty crusty and old.

There's no way that they are going to kill off Lex...he's way too strong of a character.

Mondak

Ok - I thought that too (although I love shows that have the BALLS to kill of major charachters - always have). Best case then is that he is in an extended coma while Lionel establishes himself as the new Dr Evil. I think it would be neat if he took Lex's name. It would also be cool if they did some kind of brain transplant and had Lionel exchange bodies with Lex. Sounds weak when I write it though. I bet there are lots of things they can do with this either way.

Oh yeah - you might know this, why is Lex Bald again. I know it is something from the day Clark came to earth, but I don't know exactly what.

One of the best shows on tv. Personally, I love all that sappy stuff too, but damnit I wish Clark would go out with Chloe and she could express her true love for him. Didn't she use the pen name of Lois Lane in one of last season's episodes? I missed that part and my wife told me about it.

I think from watching the previews, he flies this season. Damn I can hardly wait for the new season.

Good thing Sargeman didn't read my previous post or he would be bummed.

Hey Sarge! You better get caught up quick. Next Wednesday is the new season.

:::OshnSoul:::

My husband & I absolutely love that show, but at the end of last season we were so busy and we missed what I think were the last two episodes of last season that were on back to back last night so that we could have caught up somewhat...I don't care, I'm still gonna watch it.

fhqwhgads

In the pilot episode, young Lex is running through a cornfield when the meteor strike happens. He gets knocked down, and when he wakes up, he's bald...

I don't think there was a better explanation other than "green rocks do strange things".

Mondak

ok then - thanks. I got that part and thought there was something else.

I'll Tape it for you mystmarimatt

I barely got to watch last season, I checked almost every wedensday but there was rarely a new episode wtf? was it just my local station not showing them or did they only show a new episode every 2-3 weeks? There didn't seem like many episodes either?

that was the station pontificating, because it's their biggest hit. they know if they hit us up with a few reruns and and every so often, a new episode, it's easier to dangle this tiny string of hope in front of us and then we'll actually keep tuning back in...damn them...

Mutant X

I sometimes love it, most times hate it. Pretty piss poor writing staff that can deliver one or two solid moments within an episode and then fill the remaining 42 minutes with pure shite. The actors are better than their scripts allow them to be.

Moskie

Well, I have to say I was really impressed with the season premiere! They definately got Lois right, and I'm looking forward to her being in the show more.

And I was really surprised with how the writers created great chemistry between the characters, namely between Clark and Lois, and between Lana and... the dude in Paris (Josh? i forget). Usually Smallville is loaded with awkward and unnatural moments, but Clark and Lois really played well off each other, and Lana and Josh seemed to be a real couple.

Oh and what's up with what happened to Lana? Any ideas on what her role is going to be, with that whole tattoo showing up on her back and all? My first instinct was something along the lines of Clark's kryptonian mother becoming a factor, through Lana, sort of like how Jor-El did through Jonathan. That might be a stretch though.

And I think we need more Lana shower scenes.

punx1325

They really showed a lot of Lana, more than usual...I HOPE THEY KEEP DOING IT!!! I dunno her face just makes me think that she would be really kinky in bed.

Yeah, the women are great in the show. Lana is so pretty and wholesome looking, chloe has a great ass, and she seems like she would be the bi-curious one who would go to a strip club with you, lois has great cans, and personally, I would tap martha kent.

Reese

So let me get this straight.. Superman is in a Wheelchair but he's not superman anymore... lois works for him, but she's not lois anymore, Lana is now Superman's Mother, and some other people are now Lana and Lois and Clark...

Great Season premiere but I don't know who the hell josh is, or what happened last year at all.. I think I need some black Kryptonite to refresh my memory...

General Zod being his father has a starwars feel to it...

i thought I read somewhere that the Flash will be a regular on the show starting this season. anyone else hear that too?

I heard the same thing about the Flash. Just a rumor. Also, Burce Wayne is a rumor (don't hold your breath). No conformation as of yet.

Sargeman

Well, Shit!!! Unfortunately, I was away on a business trip and was going to get my wife to record it but forgot to tell her. I'll have to catch it on a rerun at the end of the season unless it'll come up againg before then.
