I’ve been watching Smallville for awhile, even though it sucks, because it’s based on comics. There have been a couple of cool things this season, for example Black Canary, but the back story has deviated so far from canon that as a comic book fan, the series seems like it should just be “inspired by Superman”.
At this point, it’s very difficult to get past the horrible writing and lame-o stories. After 6 seasons, the writers have simply run out of ideas and have to stage complex scenarios in order to bring something new to the show. I mean, Superman only has so many flaws and those were played out 3 or 4 seasons ago. The story has truly become Dawson Creek, I don’t even remember the last time Superman Clark Kent used his powers to do something other than save his friends. Plus, Lana is a robot now or something. Anyways, I could go on and on, but the point is that I may finally stop following this gay series.
