  • Nothing against the actor but Pete adds almost nothing to the show.
  • Clark not being able to tell Lana his secret is annoying - she's easily the least judgmental character in the entire show. And these situations he gets himself in where he can't explain to Lana what actually happened so she shuns him and thinks he's a dick because of it - and this has happened so many times so far - AARRRRGGH. LIKE JUST FUCKING TELL HER. And then the episode where him and Chloe make out in the Talon, Lana's heart is broken, she's furious at Clark and.......the next episode, it's almost like it didn't happen.
  • I didn't like Michael Rosenbaum as Lex at first - but he's really grown on me. But there have been a few times where i think, Lex can't really be this stupid about Clark, can he?
  • Smallville is a really messed up town - teenagers die constantly lol
  • I'm sad that Allison Mack is such a terrible person - she brings a great energy to the show
  • What season does Lois come in? No spoilers please
  • They make it seem like Metropolis is a short drive away from Smallville for how much people visit - but Smallville is in Kansas, far away from any ocean. Interesting.
  • You can spoil this for me but without any specifics or who - does any of Superman's villains make an appearance in the show? Or Jimmy?
  • This is an odd question but.....is there any point where episodes are in the wintertime?
  • Despite all these quibbles, i'm enjoying it more than i thought i would. I was told it was dated, and of it's time, but i still like it. I'm wondering what the show can entail with 8 more seasons.

I think a full generation of people think Metropolis is in Kansas because of this show.

I was one of them.

Are you watching/listening to the Talkville podcast as well? With Tom Welling and Rosenbaum. Its great.

Im ob a Smallville rewatch and doing the podcast at the same time. Havent seen Smallville since it aired. Its a fun show honestly with its ups and downs.

Im on s7 and s6 of the podcast. They are currently doing s7 of the podcast. Unsure if they will continue after that tho.

I liked it. In fact I probably still have the first 7 or 8 seasons on DVD somewhere because I would get them for 20 bucks each at Walmart. Get off waiting tables, do a Walmart run at midnight, get a new season of Smallville, finish that season, and repeat.

I liked the show but the whole monster of the week thing got old. They did move away from that though. There's this one scene that lives rent free in my head of someone, walking along holding a boombox like it's 1990, blasting some cheesey song. I cringed.

I think Superman and Lois is a far better show.

I've seen clips of it on Youtube, i remember them laughing with Kristin Kruek over one particular episode. I should give it a listen.

Metropolis gets moved to the Kansas or at least near Kansas in a lot of Superman adaptations for convenience sake. Superman can obviously make the trip quickly regardless of distance, but if they need the rest of the cast making regular trips to Metropolis it's easier to just kinda place it reasonably nearby.

This isn't without precedent. Before being explicitly placed in Kansas in the 1980s, Smallville was often depicted as a rural farming town not too far away from Metropolis on the East Coast.

I immediately recalled this scene from this description, very memorable for how corny it was to me too.

Oh look someone uploaded it to YouTube. Its not the song I was picturing, I was thinking it was let the bodies hit the floor lol.

I just watched the episode with Christopher Reeve

Where Clark learns that his name is Kal El, he's from Krypton, and his message from his dad. And also the John Williams theme sprinkled in.

Damn. Chills. Easily my favorite so far.
