Nearing the end of season 5, Smallville has building a story arc and barrelling towards confrontation. For most TV series’ this is a good thing, people who watch every episode are rewarded with an epic story. For Smallville however, the impending doom does not pique my interest.
Lately several factions have been clearly forming; Clark and Chloe vs Lionel and Martha vs Lex, Lana and Milton Finnes, which will most likely resolve with Clark and Professor Finnes fighting it out. Maybe it’s because the end is predictable that it hasn’t captured my interest. Or maybe Smallville just sucks (I cite example 1 and example 2), even the characters I do like (the Luthor family) have been written poorly lately.
Speaking of which, I can’t be the only one that thinks Kristin Kreuk (who plays Lana Lang) is a horrible actor, she has an OMG-what-do-I-do despair look and well, that’s about it. It always seems that she is caught in the damsel in distress situation. Also, how does she have so much money to live on her own, crash up her SUVs, and pay off miscellaneous drug addictions?
Come on series finale, I’m waiting for you so i can stop watching this show.
