Smallville is just a terrible show. Spare yourselves and don't buy the season 8 DVD set. It's awful. Did I say "awful"? I meant pathetic.
I've tried watching season 8 off and on over the year and come to the conclusion that Tom Welling is just either a bad actor or is saddled with completely terrible writing and direction! Hmmm..maybe it a combination of all of the above?
Clark is just a liar. He lies and causes more damage than comic version of Clark Kent, who is more of a discrete evader. On Smallville, Clark's lies literally helped to push Lex Luthor to evil.
Seriously, go back and watch the show and observe how basically decent guy Lex became nuts because of Clark's lies.
Yep. I'm all for a new Green Arrow show featuring Justin H., who was ROBBED of the Aquaman show. He's a good actor.
On the other hand, thank goodness for Supernatural! That show rocks! It's awesome. The writing is tight. The characters are complex.
P.S.
This Captcha system is the worst on the WEB!!
