I caught this on dvd while in Iraq binged watched on leave it was one of the best t.v. shows at that time. I was later in all the myspace fan groups yeah i watched it that long ago. My 2 complaints are he never flys as super man and no tights it turns out the writers never wanted the show to be about that so stars off for that choice. I still have screen caps from the various dvds on hdds probably hundreds. I was very into it thinking he would fly for real but no. Tom welling has moved onto shows like Lucifer and Kirsten (Burden of Truth) (who I had the biggest crush on) has moved on as well but this show will always be with me. In other news Allison Mack was arrested for a number of federal offenses by the FBI she likely won't be playing anything as good as Chloe anytime soon.

My DC adaptations marathon came to Smallville, one of few shows I ever saw completely and even fewer I wanna see again. I just finished rewatching of the first season that shows high-school days of Clark Kent. Tom Welling is great playing young Clark who gradually discovers his abilities and tries to juggle between normal teen life and hiding the fact he's an alien. In first season he discovers his inhuman strength and speed, then he gradually discovers extent of his invulnerability and at the end he finds out about his X-Ray vision. The rest of his powers will come in seasons to follow. Here we meet Lex Luthor, Clark's best friend, who changes into villain in front of our eyes, partially because of his egomaniac father and partially because of distrustful treatment from everyone around him, caused by his wealth and infamous family name. There's also beautiful Kristin Kreuk, playing Lana Lang, Clark's unrealized love, and many more talented young actors. But the most impressive of all is John Glover, playing Lionel Luthor, Lex's father and main villain. Story combines typical teenage show with superhero elements, which slowly grow from season to season until they completely take over the show and change it beyond recognition. But for now special effects are at minimum and show is more teen romance drama than story about Superman. It may not be the best, but it's certainly my favorite DC show so far.7,5/10

I was 21 when this show came out and for some reason I waited 16 years to finally watch it. Maybe I was too busy being young and partying it up to watch TV. Fast forward 16 years later and here I am watching it on Hulu. My god, isn't Tom Welling the most gorgeous, handsome, and incredibly sexy man you've ever seen? I was glad when they finally introduced Lois Lane into the series but you have to wait about 7 seasons for them to dump the boring Lana Lang character. I like the competitive and funny banter between Lois in Clark in the later seasons but I feel it didn't last long enough. The story line should have focused on just one or two years in high school and then moved onto Clark Kent working at the Daily Planet and working with Lois Lane on breaking stories. It went too awry. Season 10 was awful and it's like the cast knew it. They should have wrapped this series up in 8 years, especially when your main characters are close to their mid 20s at the start of a series. I gave it an 8 just for Tom Welling.

Smallville is the longest Superman origin story in film and television there is. And let me tell you: there's so much more to Clark Kent's becoming Superman than simply putting on the suit. And considering the series was originally supposed to be focused on Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, this shows that both Batman and Superman have equally compelling amounts of story and character development.Smallville has been off the air for years now but even since it finished in 2011 Superman fans still refer to it as one of the most faithful takes on the mythos of the classic character. While I do prefer Superman: The Animated Series, Smallville is still a fitting compliment to the Man of Steel. And I love it.Superman fans will love this one. Give it a shot if you haven't already.
