IMO one of the biggest mistakes was Kara not being present at all in season 9 to help Clark deal with Zod and the Kandorians. That would've added so much more to that storyline especially given that Kara leaves Smallville specifically to search for Kandor in Bloodline in season 8.

Also Kara and Martha never interacting with each other once (despite Kara having seen pictures of Martha before when she and Lara previously visited the Kent Farm) felt like a pretty big missed opportunity.

Help! My addiction is killing me please help save a kindred soul. I need my fix.

As the title says, I am looks for any and all Clois time travel fanfics. If you know any just mention the title and on which site it’s on.

The paper Lionel is holding just before he is shown for the first time.

It's at 43 seconds into the show>! and my mouth is agape. I didn't know they were planting Oliver seeds this early on. AND planting that his parents died when he was young and that LL was responsible. !<

And here I was starting this rewatch thinking nothing would come from it and that I could just relax.

I've been rewatching season 3 episodes, and couldn't help but start to think of how her various relationships and she really struggled to pick good ones. Chloe gets two good relationships (Jimmy & Oliver). Lois actually has three (Grant had issues, but he never did anything bad to her). Clark had two good ones (and a complicated one, Alicia). But Lana's were kind of all downhill from the start. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. Sorting them by healthy relationships, I am not counting any time anyone is under the influence of something/controlled, ect, as this isn't really "them". My list from best to worst:

Whitney: He had his issues, but when you remember he was also a high school student. So teens aren't going to make the best decisions. He tries her pretty well. And the fact that they didn't sleep together, shows they were both waiting until they were ready.

Clark: Obviously this spans multiple seasons, and is on/off again. But I think the real issue in their relationship is Lana never seemed to accept Clark for who he is. I don't mean that he's an alien, I'm talking about his personality. Clark doesn't open up easily (personally I think this is a species trait) or is just his personality but either way. Lana continues to get upset with him when he isn't the open book she wants. While I don't mean that as a bashing of Lana, she is allowed to feel that way. But that is why Clark and her were never going to work. She simply wants something different then what he is able to give her. That being said, besides the "secret" he treats her well and respects her.

That's it of the good relationships that she has.So the rest:

Adam: They didn't exactly date but flirted. Until she figured out who he was, and he went psycho.

Jason: This one is pretty messed up actually. They start off fine. The age difference doesn't really bother me she's 18 and he's 22. This happens all the time. What does however is him getting a job at her high school. There are plenty of other jobs he could have gotten. And he has serious mother issues. The other thing, which actually Lana wasn't there was his strange change in personality at the end of the season. Was this explained?

Lex: While I wasn't thrilled about it when I first saw this (when it aired) now that I am adult, this was way more messed up than I remembered. The fake pregnancy thing, has to be up there in some of the worst things Lex ever did. He also cloned her (this is glossed over) but terrible. And then their is this age difference. While plenty of healthy couples that have this, the fact that he was kind of putting moves on her in high school is a problem. This is by far her worst relationship and impacts her for the rest of her appearances on the show.

Anyhow, I am curious how other people rank them.

Not to be one of those posts but I discovered Smallville through TikTok a couple of months ago and I thought I would be interested: a show about an iconic superhero in his teenage years, school environment, romance, action and mysterious plot lines. I dedicated myself to watching this show after finishing my final exams and I got HOOKED! Absolutely loved this show so much and even got talking to my dad about it since he was watching it before I was born! The show is great as a whole. Loved every single character. I happened to document my thoughts and rank each season after finishing each one - ill drop my ranking below...

1. S1

2. S2

3. S3

4. S4

5. S6

6. S10

7. S9

8. S5

9. S7

10. S8

What are your rankings like? How did you feel after finishing the show for the first time? I finished it in just over a month but I feel like I've lived through the 10 years with the show

Doomsday Kara and Clark new funkos soon!

I’m actually in love with this show. The story is so good, the acting is surprisingly great, and THE CHARACTERS!? LORD this casting is so good. I love Lois, I love Clark, I love Chloe, I love Oliver, I love everyone so much. Goodbye.

Looks like season 5 is leaving Prime in 11 days...but only S5, the rest are staying. Streaming rights are fun lol

I'm watching 9-13 right now and Zatanna just said something while working with Clark to find the Warrior Angel kid, and Clark says

"I guess you can't expect magic to be an exact science."

Z: "Was that a clever play on words? Wonderful wit and sparkling theatrics. Mr Blur's really upped his game."

*nobody* but Comic characters talk like that. It's fine, I just notice more and more comic-y lines being thrown in S9 specifically.

I'm on the first episode of season 9 after watching the season where Lana is forced to leave Clark forever.

Now, they are pushing Clark and Lois together, but it feels forced.

Lois just seems like a consolation prize because Lana isn't there anymore. Like Clark is thinking to himself, "Eh, now that the love of my life is forced to live away from me, I guess Lois is a good stand in." It's hard to believe that now Clark is so madly in love with Lois after Lana left.

I don't know if it's the very, very slow build up, or Lana and Clark leaving on good terms, especially after all that happened with Lana and Lex. Maybe it's the way that now Lois is hero worshiping the "Red Blue Blur," which seems a bit out of character for her. Or how Lois and Clark were going to kiss and then Clark saw Lana and Lois was tossed to the side. I have no idea what it is, but at this point, I'm not buying the love between Lois and Clark.

How do you feel about the match up?

Talkville are really missing a trick by not having a Patreon segment where Tom and Michael review other Superman media. I'd happily pay to hear them watch a Chris Reeve movie or check out an episode or two of the animated series. Maybe get fans to vote on what they'd like them to cover.

Imagine if they had a bonus episode for Patreons where they give their thoughts on the new trailer that was released today? It would be great to hear Tom talk to other Supermen too like Tyler, Dean or Brandon.

Watching other Superman content would also widen their knowledge and appreciation of how good a job the producers of Smallville did with their incarnation of the character and would lead to more interesting an engaging discussions on episodes moving forward.

Sadly all involved in the show are simply too lazy to put in any sort of effort like this.

Here's my take for the fifth season.

Instead of Zod, we get Brainiac as the final boss of the season/series. Clark learns about Brainiac's ties to the destruction of Krypton, which would drive Clark to his purpose as Earth's savior.

Lex embraces his dark side after losing Clark and Lana's friendship, and therefore would be making hell for the Kents thru the season.

Clark tells Lana his secret.

Lex partners with Brainiac and also finds out about Clark's powers.

Clark has Jor-El use the Runes of Kof-Kol to make the world forget about Clark Kent (except for Martha, Lana, and Chloe), so it would make it difficult for people like Lex to make the Clark and Superman connection in the future.

In exchange for this service, Clark agrees to leave Smallville to train in the Fortress, but not before he defeats Brainiac in the penultimate episode to save Earth.

The finale takes the Gotham route and takes us five years in the future. We see a returning Clark Kent with glasses starting a job at the Daily Planet and meeting Lois (again). Lex Luthor kills a sick Lionel in his hospital bed, and turns Luthorcorp into Lexcorp. We see Superman making a few saves and meeting Lex, but to the viewer he will be a blur (pun intended) or a body double w/o showing face. The final shot would be Clark ripping open his shirt to reveal the Superman T-shirt.

The fact that Clark will outlive Lois, but the love he has for her is so profound, so intense, so passionate and fulfilling that he will live the rest of his life with her as his "one and only" love, that resonates deeply with me. My favorite comic book couple, still going strong almost a century later.

Really what Crappy writing You build Doomsday up to be some giant killer and he dies in a geothermal fire in 5 secs ? You bring Chloe and Jimmy together and kill him in 5 secs You kill Jimmy off and make Clark walk away from his best friend on the same day ? So she’s lost 2 people on same day - how heartless. Jimmy funeral was just awful. 😞

What is one thing, you liked about the show, but now you dislike?

What is one thing you disliked about the show, but now you like?

That Smallville doctor who tested Lana and discovered she had synthetic hormones in her body and was never pregnant, just plain accuses her of faking a pregnancy to get a millionaire to marry her. Calm down doctor, you are WAY out of line. Keep your Linda Lake theories to yourself and just stick to the medical facts. No wonder Lex only wanted to be treated by a Metropolis specialists. Lol
