General Thoughts on Smallville
As promised, I am trying to have less of a Winchester driven view of the CW (but it is so hard when Supernatural is so darn good) and thanks to our cable going out over the weekend I was able to catch up with the Smallville repeats currently housed in my DVR. So for fun, instead of my recapping, I am going to list strengths and weaknesses.
Plus
- Theme song (’Save Me’ by Remy Zero)
- Anyone whose surname is ‘Luther’
- Stays true to its comic roots with the stylistic composition of each shot & the coloring
- That Clark, at times, is a typical earth teenager (for instance, he manages to trash the fortress of knowledge and does not settle down to do his chores)
- The fact that I feel sorry for Lex in the whole Lexana relationship (why should TomKat and Branglina have all the fun with the combined names)
Minus
- Clark’s color restrictive wardrobe
- Little Jimmy O
- His birth family comes with way too much intergalactic baggage
- I worry about who tends to the corn now that Martha is flying high at whatever day job she does that forces her to wear such ill fitting suits
The CW, Smallville, Supernatural, Clark Kent, Lex Luther, Save Me, Remy Zero
