Hi All,
I used to watch Smallville but grew bored of the format - must be at least 8 years since I watched it.
How much has Smallville moved on since series 2 and do you think it would be worth renting them and watching it over?
Thanks

Also, from Series 3 onwards they branch away from the tiresome 'freak-of-the-week' episodes.
Same! But I started re-watching from Season 8, when they finally started the Lois Clark thing. I hated Lana and I grew so bored of it. But Seasons 8 and 9 have been amazing, purely because of the whole Lois/Clark coupling. So if you like them, start watching from season 8. You can get back into it really quickly and it's not as angsty as in the early seasons.
I may give it another go - but skip a few series, as by the sounds of it it has progressed quite a lot since the format has changed.
What are you on about season 10 has been the same as season 9 which I agree has been one of the best of the show
Actually I've just been watching from season 1 episode 1 and baring some dodgy Jimmy Olsen season 8 episodes and krypto-mutant of the week in seasons 1 & 2 it's been great
Are you being serious? :eek:
Yes, Only seen up to and including Patriot but Harvest was the only one I'd rate below excellent but that has
2. Laura Vandervoort
Reason enough by themselves
If you are willing to skip past the really bad parts, 4, 6 and 7 aren't worth watching, apart from the 4 finale and the Green Arrow episodes.
I think season 10 been amazing so far.
Well think its worth giving a chance. Like any long running show its had its bad season but there are still enjoyable to watch but when re watching there are episode I can not watch the bug guy episode being one.
Lol I found Kristin Kreuk a big reason NOT to watch. Couldn't stand Lana. Only really got into Smallville once she was out of the picture
s1-3-great
4-6 attrocious
7-ok
8-brilliant
9-alright
10-so so...so far
if you didnt like it during s2 i wouldnt reccommend getting back into it personally
Season 1 - OK
Countess and the quest to find the stones of knowledge was great and Chloe discovers
the truth
Another thing I don't like is the excessive filler. Was there really a need for episodes like 'Harvest' and 'Isis' in the final season?! For me those were two of the poorest episodes I've seen over the 10 years. That may be linked to the fact that they've decided to include Erica Durance in all 22 episodes this year. She doesn't need to be in every single episode, a lot of them yes, but putting her in every single one just results in an extra few boring scenes per episode, or in the case of Harvest and Isis, an extra few boring episodes. These extra episodes may also be why she's suddenly because a member of the Justice League... ridiculous idea.
I hope the second half of the season focuses more on Clark's destiny and less on his stale to watch relationship. He needs to be making strides towards becoming Superman but at the moment he comes across as the same idiot blaming himself for mistakes and making stupid decisions, albeit with a slightly deeper voice.
I find the Clark Lois moments some of the best bits and part fulfilment of his destiny
Regarding Lois, I am sure - or rather fairly sure - that she has something to do with Clark finding his destiny. In Season 9 this was hinted at.
