I know everyone was just waiting for me to say something about “Smallville”, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write anything until now. Why you may ask? It’s been tough to wrap my head around the episodes. I think we can all agree it’s bad when you rip off old episodes, but when you acknowledge it, it’s even worse. I just want to know what the hell is going on. It’s like the CW is showing episodes out of order. Case in point, the last episode “Blue”. The episode before that one we had Lana Lang steal Clark’s power, nearly kill Lex, and get threatened by Chloe. The following episode it was like nothing had happened. You know, if I had superpowers that my girlfriend acquired, tried to kill her ex, and my best friend threatened her, I think that would have repercussions down the road. But hey, that’s just me.
If you look at the season as a whole, it’s just been crappy. It’s like the writers said “hey, let’s add in a hot girl and just throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see what sticks”. Seriously, is there any overall story arc? I figured the last episode would give me something, but all that happened was Kara get’s teleported to the Motor City and Lois probably has crabs. And what was up with Kara going to Detroit? I mean, I know its hell on earth, but it makes no sense. I’ve also figured out that the CW doesn’t waste a lot of money on Tom Welling’s wardrobe. A red shirt and blue shirt is all he gets. We know he’s going to be Superman; you don’t have to keep jamming the imagery down our throats.
So you ask why I stick around? Why do I keep watching? It’s not because I’m hoping for the reappearance of Sam Jones III. I want it to get good again. I keep hoping it gets good again. Maybe I just have blind faith here, but anything is possible.
