Re: Anybody watch Smallville?
Smallville is a bit too dark for me but I guess they ran out of ideas somewhere and had to turn the Superman saga into a Steven King thing.
I grew up on the Superboy comic books and Legion of Superhero comic books that really detailed the life of young Clark Kent and his parents. There was an innocence to those stories but also real drama and horror. Lots of humor too. Things always got solved by Clark's deductive reasoning. That was Kal El's greatest strength, not his super powers but his super mind mixed with the homespun values that Martha and John raised him with.
Also, where's the glasses? Like someone wouldn't recognize him growing up as Superman?
Anyway, I love the cast and crew of Smallville. I'm sorry I didn't watch every episode but now I'll have the luxury of getting the shows on DVD and enjoying the Superman saga all over again.
