I started my 2nd rewatch almost 2 months ago and will most likely be done with the series by mid to end of November. Then it’s onto the season 11 comics

So I’ll start off by saying that rewatching the first 5 episodes has been a revelation, the plot of Clark facing off his mortality is actually important for what comes after Hidden, so I wanna offer some insight

Aqua starts of by Lois almost dying and getting saved by someone else, something that would happen much later anyway, also even though he doesn’t “love” Lois, she’s still close to him/ Fine is introduced by his lecturing of history and where people would stand vs an evil dictator rising up to destroy the world, this is obviously talking about Clark vs Lex…or a entirely different evil, I find this lecture fascinating as Fine breaks it down like I’m in his class, it draws you in to what he’s saying is truth, which to be honest it is..by perspective in some senses and that’s what this episode was about: perspective vs truth, Clark’s perspective of Lex is that he’s a immoral liar who uses people, while AC and Fine offers the truth that Lex is exploiting and experimenting weapons for personal gain, this isn’t just about AC getting introduced, but using the story through him to create a narrative of Clark’s eventual decision later of Lex

Thirst plays the same game but in a different way, while on the surface the vampire thing is out there, again Fine and Lex are at play and this time they face off against each other as intellectuals in their respective fields, even tho Fine is the herring of the plot, he still gets the audience to trust and understand his perspective…again with this theme…Lex is the one who we’ve seen go all evil on a guy last episode, so it’s easy to forget Fine is the one playing the long game, yet beats Lex at the battle of wits and gets information of the experiment that saves Chloe/ speaking of Chloe, she’s hurt again by the vampire and almost dies, something Clark is fearing everything about, also Lana being changed into something she’s not and him rejecting the immortality as a vampire is another reminder that Clark isn’t human and that he loses with her either way, him choosing to give her the cure wasn’t just so she’d go back to normal, but in his mind meaning she’ll never be her real self…even if that means he’ll still possibly lose her

This is all done in 5 episodes guys, so if there’s anyone that doesn’t like the second half cuz of their breakup, I wanted to help understand that this was setup from the moment Clark gave up his powers in Arrival

I think I'm mostly clarke because I try and help everyone I can and am very loyal to my family and friends, And am always there to fiercely defend anyone in need.

the last few episodes of this season have been insane!!!! one thing i wanted to point out is the developing relationship between lex and lana. oooommmfffgggg whyyyyy?! i cannot stand lex, i do not want him to be happy and honestly, lana can go too lol.

oh my goodness so many things have happened, my mind is all over the place really; but professor fine multiplying?! goodness, what’s that about?! is jor-el inside of lionel? for a while i maybe thought zod was but maybe professor fine IS zod? or is helping bring zod? idk there’s a lot i don’t know but im starting season 6 now

Currently on S6E3 and I’m already noticing I’m liking it a bit less than 1-4, and I’ve heard the rest are just ok. Is it all downhill from here? (compare to the greatness of the early seasons ofc)

To all the old viewers (and new) what was it like to witness this? I know I danced when they finally kissed and it was so beautiful, absolutely golden. (and I was spoiled and I binge watched). It must have been a torture to wait for 6 years for those who watched the show when it first aired. But dear god this was so satisfying.

Note: They rank 10 on that list.

A little disappointed that it was priced at $2. Especially when I paid $50 for each season when they were being released.

I haven't watched the show in it's entirety since it aired. I've watched a few episodes on Hulu years ago, but it was mainly season six episodes like "Arrow" because I got tired of the Arrowverse. Back then, I got tired of the show, but i kept with it until the end. It had a season or two that was boring compared to other, but it picked back up.

My question to the groups is, how is Talkville? I listened to some random episodes while Dashing last week, with the vampire Lana episode being the first one. "Aqua" and "Heat" were the next two. I felt they were entertaining, and I like that it is a podcast with the main characters of the show hosting. I do wish some episode clips were played like with "Talking Simpsons" and "Talking Futurama", but I do like that fans get to call in.

Me say peak character development. 🤭

I'm watching the series for the first time. Just up to episode 11. But they are destroying cars in EVERY episode. Whoever owns the towing service in Smallville is going to be richer than the dang Luthor's by the end of the series.

PS. More people know this dude is has powers than don't.

PPS. Clark is peeper.

PPPS. It's real weird that Lex hangs out with all these kids. Like real weird.

I'm on season 4 rn and I'm extremely confused about Lana Lang's social status. She seems to be quite unpopular in s4e18 but I could've sworn she was popular!! is it because she was always going crazy/getting possessed and terrorising the school or...? what do we think?

Hey everyone - its new ep time!!!

Let us know what you thought about it!!!

Back when I first posted abt the creator's favorite seasons being : 5,6 , & 2 based on their interview after leaving back then, Almost everyone here were in disagreement & said the Best are S8 - 10 cause it had "more comicbook stuffs, less drama, more Clois being lovey dovey, etc"

but looking at the ' What's your Fav Season' threads now, the choices that are most popular & keep being brought up is S5, 2, & 6. All those seasons had arguably better writing, better Human drama (Afterall, it Was a Drama TV), bigger budget = bigger storylines, & more relatable characters.

Not to mention, the biggest validation came from Tom Welling himself who during talkville for 'Reckoning' shouted: "The show really Peaked here (Season 5)" & he made some unfavorable remarks about Clark being "The blur(?)" storyline in latter seasons.

He is a businessman beneath all, but he is being nice to Clark and probably there is an explanation as to why and when he gets over his head with villainy.

But as of S1E5, I am loving the bromance between Clark and Lex.

I just wanted to say for a non-native english speaking guy my noses bleed between the Luthor's conversation. But i like the way it is.

This is one of my favorite episode (s) of the whole series. The whole series was so Superman but these two episodes and season 6s Justice were the most DC episode of the series.

I loved this show back in the day, probably haven't seen a minute of it since it finished. I will try to be brief. First of all, the show hasn't aged one bit. I was expecting to find it extremely cheesy at the least, but the cheese in this show is baked to perfection.

One thing that really, really struck me in re-watching the show - it is absolutely pure 'horror', every step of the way. I mean that, at first I felt a little puzzled and there was an episode here and there that I thought was surely a Halloween themed plot. I came to realize that almost every episode is horror, in every way. It is shot as horror, the score is almost exclusively horror stings, and nearly every plot in the show is horror. And... That is great, because it is very good horror indeed.

Casting is perfect from top to bottom. I can't think of a single role that isn't spot on, and that includes untold scores of guest stars. You really see the Vancouver actor line-up as bit parts all over the place, people that would end up on BS:G and every other show that has had a run in the area.

Everyone is stupidly attractive on this show. It delves into being basically soft core porn on a regular basis, and all I will say about that is that I hope someone like the actress for Lois was someone who was very comfortable with being used like that. There are a few very crazy shots of Kreuk as well, the pool scene in season 1 being the worst. My personal crush was always Allison Mack, who gets a lot of face time and rarely dresses in anything sleazy.

The best thing about the show are the Luthers - period. Lionel is simply the ultimate bad guy, and Lex is done to perfection as well. I was rooting for them the entire way through, feeling their pain and hunger for knowledge and power like a knot in my gut. Nothing has done the Luthors like this show.

This show is horror, posing as a soap opera with a very shiny veneer of teen drama. I was amazed that every bit of the 'mushy stuff', especially the Kent family dynamics, not only gripped me but hit me right in the feels. The show is very consistent in the pacing between the various themes.

More than anything else, the entire show is made by the casting of Tom Welling. This goes without saying, he was born for this role. I thought Dean Kain was great in 'Lois & Clark' as well, but this Clark Kent is downright eerie in how perfectly he fits the role.

Most of the shows of this type and era don't hold up to a re-watch, or are somewhat cringe with the odd great episode sprinkled through-out. Smallville is excellent the whole way through, production value is spot on and the crazy plots never seem to cross the line where they feel like complete camp. Looking at the pretty people never gets old, and the episodes always feel like they are the 'right length'. There are a LOT of people that have never seen this show, and would be amazed at how fun of a ride it is. Too bad waterboarding a Zoomer isn't enough to get them to try any kind of movie, show or game older than last week...
