I don't mean to turn you off from this show, Hash, but the writing quality takes a nose dive in season nine. The newest season's writing took a sprint out of the International Space Station without a space suit.

 

Hashasheen, if you hate Clana you're watching the wrong show, I just decided to watch Smallville again and getting through Seasons 2 and 3 were the hardest things I've hard to do in regards to television in a while. At the end of every episode they have at least three minutes of bullshit talk about their feelings.

I skipped 4 and 5 and after a bit of struggling I'm now enjoying S10, which despite being a rip-off of the Marvel Civil War is awesome.

 

... Damn. Thank God I'm watching Chuck as well, otherwise my heart just might give out on me. At Season 4 there.

Its more along the lines that it doesn't come off as written well. Like I said before, Clark comes off like Edward at times with how he's constantly saving her and how he's never felt this way about anyone else before. Dude, you're as old as I am at this point, overwhelming love ain't the thing of the day, you know? And his persistence is a tad unrealistic, when you think of it. Just saying, if I was in Clark's shoes, I'd get the fucking picture after the umpteenth time things got awkward and neither person made a move. And then you know, gone after the cute spunky blonde who digged me.

But then again, this was the formative seasons of Smallville, so weak writing, acting and characterisation is to be expected. Not sure what possible excuse is available for latter seasons though.

I'm determined to watch all of this. I have this problem with being unable to criticize something unless I've done my research on it. It's a crippling issue of mine. :facepalm

 

The character of Lana got unbearable after a while which is why I will forever love Lex for rearranging her priorities .

And worse than the entire Clark/Lana thing, I think is the treatment of Lex. Everywhere you turn everyone is totally acting like a dick to him. Jonathan the most. After all he ever does for the Kents nothing good ever comes out of it. I think the writers were laying it on a bit thick, but it worked, after all that crap I would want to kill Clark too.

I just hope CW don't drag Supernatural out this long.

 

I'm eagerly awaiting that.

Indeed. One thing I hope for in a fan fiction of Smallville is some level-headed attitudes from the people Lex deals with. Jonathon should have calmed down, that principal from Metropolis explains what happens instead of just flipping out, etc...

Knowing them, they probably will. Though if they picked up Stargate Universe & Caprica, it'd make up for it. They need more shows.

 

Yeah, Lex was treated harshly by pretty much everyone. Sure, not as harsh as Lionel treats him, but harsh nonetheless.

The current season is pretty good. John Glover is still as badass as ever.

 

Blaise is completely right. All the women in this show are incredibly hot. Seriously, Fake Kara, Alicia, Lois, the list just goes on and on... :facepalm

 

To illustrate how much I hated Smallville let me tell you about the last 10 seasons in vague summary.

• Awesome Characters with depth and soul get reduced to accusing, angry, self righteous little shit heads.
• Everyone and there Dog Railed on Lex, and then acted so wounded when he did something questionable, like they had given him every chance in the world.
• Clark grows a Vagina in his Mouth.
• Clark gets PMS.
• The story stops being about Superman and more about Clark Networking with buzz worthy comic names.
• Jorel is a Douche, or Jorel is his only friend, or Jorel is a Douche again.
• Rehashed idiotic arguments get brought up over and over and over.
• Clark Accomplishes nothing and does not grow as a person or individual in anyway.
• Any progress that is made is squashed or forgotten about within two episodes.
• He actually gets stupider.:facepalm

Now that You know how much I hated a good 60% of the episodes that have appeared between the first season and the 10th I believe you should understand one thing.

Season 10 is totally worth that much suffering.

I think they purposely made us suffer for what appears to be 10 years for no other reason than making Season 10 Awesome.

Edit:

Consider Keeping a tally or starting a drinking game Everytime Clark does one of the following things:
Says the word secret
Falls down because of Kryptonite as if someone has his nuts in a vice
Makes a signifigant step forward as an adult but then gets retconned.
Accuses someone of something

You will need a new liver before the 4th episode.

 

Someone in this here thread posted something Google says is bad for me.

 

I have no idea why but the more important question is... why do you have a gazillion tabs opened?

 

That would be the first Lois posted image on the third page, going by the link listed in there and in your image. Nice going google :facepalm

 

I thought Google had recognized my user name as Offensive.
Its like DLP Uk all over again.

 

Watching Season 4, Lois Lane is awesome. Its like she's a bro. :awesome

Edit: Watching the love-potion episode. Cheerleader Chloe is making me cry on the inside. Its just such a waste of the actress's skills...

 

Because I open all the New Posts when I visit DLP?

 

The two-part with Alicia had me tearing up. I think I've discovered my favorite guest actress, a favorite ship and a favorite two-parter all in one. Seriously good work in these two episodes from every acting in it.

 

In the interest of national security, I guess I can help you out a little.

First off, there are a very few decent Smallville stories, and if you like Clark/Chloe as I do, you'll be very disappointed by whats out there on ff.net. I've gone searching for stories a few times, and every time I've been pissed off at the the lack of anything decent. The problem for me at least is that most of the fanfiction seems to be set well after the series jumped the shark (I tend to put that around the end of Season 4).

Nonjon's story is probably one of the most entertaining Smallville stories, but, again, it takes place well after Clark has grown up.

The only other really interesting Smallville story I can remember off the top of my head was a redo fic that had Clark telling Lex the truth about himself after the car crash. It was insanely slow moving, but a decent read. For the life of me tho, I can't seem to find the story. I've have gone looking for it a few times, but I can never seem to find it.

Edit: Found it.

The last story I'll recommend isn't really a Smallville story, but it does feature a young!Clark Kent. It's an insanely long three story epic called the Last Son. It's a crossover with X-men evolution, and if you like that fandom, you should check it out. Link

 

In that case, would you like information on Hezballoh or Al Qaeda? :awesome

Interesting.

Edit: Lana needs to die in a fucking fire. Half the fucking season seems to be built around her. I want Alicia Baker back.

 

Hezbollah, they're definitely the it group at the moment.

 

Hezballoh's in a prime position to establish itself as the top dog in Lebanon for years to come if they play their cards right. As reliant as they are on their Christian allies to maintain their position legally, between their vast resources, experienced paramilitary, numerous sympathizers within Lebanese Army ranks and the fact the government literally can't run without them and their coalition, we may very well see the UN Investigation get squashed or disavowed in order to maintain the peace and put Hariri back in power. And that'll be the case from now until a minimum of 6 months from now.

/political analysis of the situation at hand

Now, as to terrorists: Hezballoh runs a major drug operation outside of Baalbek that funds a lot of its military needs and funnels drugs into Israel. Now you go into Baalbek to speak with a man called Mr. Abdul, who's the leader's front dealer in the area. He's the man to watch.

/complete bullshit

 

Man, the Doomsday storyline was so shit. That was just wasted right there. So between Braniac, Doomsday and General Zod, I see three wasted villains for Clark Kent. Let's see if Major Zod does any better.

Major Zod was all right. Not fully used in my opinion, but still decent. Also, am I the only one thinking a spin-off with Green Arrow could be pulled off? Seriously, it could be really decent.
