Smallville: My love, hate relationship.


I speak out on the ups and downs of my relationship with the television show Smallville

First things first, I am watching this show as I am writing this. I was planning to write a very angry editorial but Chloe just used the Term "PROMaganda". See, I can be filled with hate and then all of a sudden switch 180 degrees and love it again.
First last season was a waste of the 22 hours I spent watching it. It started and ended with the mystery of Lex being alive or dead. Clark had left town to be a Bad Ass instead of being who he was and the Clark, Lana relationship had been as lame as it had been since season one. But.....
Then they started this season with cool stories and most of all, Lois Lane. yes i know that the true Superman mythos doesn't have Lois and Clark meeting until Metropolis, years later. but i don't care. So with the exception of the stupid storyline with Lana and Jason, and Lex's lack of character development I was loving this season.
Then came February. I rejoiced when I saw the preview for the return of Alicia, my favorite character from Season 3. I was rejoiced when she arrived and Clark seemed to have a girlfriend and in-turn seemed happy. This was complete shattered, as was my liking for the show, when they decided to kill Alicia. Yep. dead. I was PISSED! but it got worse. So my favorite character died and no one seemed to care. Now I don't mean none of my friends cared, the didn't, but I didn't think that they would. No one on the show cared. mostly the Writers I suppose. They didn't even give her a funeral. Whitney's dad, who was never actually on screen, got a funeral. Oh and did I mention that she was Clark's wife? So the episode ended, no funeral, no details about how clark was going to take care of his dead bride. but maybe in the next episode....
nope. Clark went to college to get recruited for football with the Harbor High Water Polo Team. no mention. I hate you Smallville.
But then tonight's show had all the greatness of a weird high school show about prom with a body switching Prom Queen and teenage dialogue that only people in their 30s can write. Oh I was rejoiced. but then Clark started to pawn over Lana. I was upset. "Hello Clark!" Chloe and Lois would be better for you.

Oh and shut up. I am supernerd. I know.
