My wife is a Smallville fanatic, and so I have little choice in watching it.
No, just kidding about that last part. We actually like the later seasons, with the additions of other DC heroes and villains. I just wish to hell that they could have gotten the rights to Batman as a character, which they had originally intended, because I think it's obvious Oliver Queen was supposed to have been Bruce Wayne.
Like I said, it's my wife who's the Smallville fan, but I guess the show just grew on me, because I'm genuinely going to miss it after this season ends.
Who knows - maybe the producers can come up with some superhero show continuing after Smallville left off, but without Clarke. Maybe call it Metropolis Knights, or something.
