I understand there are people who don't thrive on the pretty that like Smallville, and that there are people who see things to it beyond the HoYay and the sparkles, but I just don't understand them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rosenbaum is a good enough actor that I can see how the show could be really good if the rest of them would just leap to his level. They are so in need of a Mutant Enemy-level creator, it's a crying shame, because they have the raw material on hand.

I can't watch Smallville because the cast is so pretty they scare me. They look alien or mutant or something.
... what? It's a valid response!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Theodosia, I have often said the same thing. They're a good show-runner and writer or two from having an honest-to-God good show.
So much potential. Just needs more planning. t sighs

Keerist, if just one or two more of the actors could match MR. Annette O'Toole and John Glover are good now, Allison Mack might be good soon, but as long as Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk top the cast list, what hope is there?

I can't even.

I agree. I think the show is just primed to bump up to the next level and who knows, it might, with all involved getting more experience, they might get the right infusion of creative talent at the right time, etc. I'm sitting there going, y'know, I want to love this show, help me out here!
Shows tend to crap out and crash instead IMO, the late bloomers seem to be the exception.

Aside from Sentinel, I reallly have followed all the fandoms listed in the header. Not to the extent of writing fic (or even reading fic) for all of them, but at least I've watched quite a few of the episodes, and enjoyed 'em. Does this make me the equivalent of a fan of loose virtue? Or just not picky enough?

I think Allison Mack is good now. She's just written poorly.

Do you think Chloe's written worse than Lex, Lionel, or Ma? Maybe I shouldn't have said she's not good. She's not as good. Sam Jones is fine, though I won't hold my breath hoping for him to get better.
