Clark Kent, aka Superman, isn’t the only object of Kryptonite’s debilitating power. The show Smallville may be suffering from the monotony of meteor based stories. We are now four episodes in to the sixth season of Smallville, and I for one have had my “fill” of these interim episodes. The season started out with such promise as the writers delved more into the mythos of the Superman legend.
- We got a taste of what it’s like in the Phantom Zone, Jor’El’s prison for Kryptonian criminals
- Clark actually wants to talk to the estranged Jor’El
- There are three relationships for fans to enjoy, all of which exclude Heart-throb Tom Welling, now the proverbial third wheel.
- And who doesn’t love watching new cast addition Justin Hartley, humor and sexiness all rolled into one Green Arrow. (Here’s a little trivia for you, Justin was actually cast as Aquaman in Millar & Gough’s test pilot)
True, these are all great things. But the writers’ overwhelming desire to return to meteor-rock storylines needs to stop. I thought that the introduction of the Green Arrow and more other-worldly enemies would put an end to the rash of meteor-infused-kryptonite freaks. But based on the recent “Reunion” episode, I see that I was sadly mistaken. That’s the one downfall of this otherwise excellent series.
no question here, Justin - mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm
Is that even a question?? Justin of course!! ;D
I really wanna see the flash and aquaman come back for an all out pre-Justice League Team up! And by the way BRING BACK PA KENT!!!!!!
Agreed, I hate meteor rock. the Reunion episode was a calamity from the get go. Especially, when the sword fell from the sky and killed the Ollie’s friend
I’m loving the clark 3rd wheel arch. Serves him right for passing over chloe for so long.
Ok, I don’t know about all this sexy talk. But I’d rather see Green Lantern than Green Arrow any day. i had to LOL at Green Arrow getting shot by his own arrow though. He deserved it, messing with clark’s future wife. does he have no shame
