Ok, go figure. Only Smallville can make me soooo furious and fustrated that i would end up writing a post to vent my anger in the middle of the night in the midst of my prelims(which i have not studied for) and am totally drowsy due to medicine...
Ok, Smallville is crap.
That is the thesis of this post.
You dont like it? Fine. Defend ur belief, cos i would really like to hear it.
Firstly, Lana is now the main character in Smallville, NOT CLARK noooooo it is LANA. The show Smallville is spose to be bout Clark but yea whatever right? Lana's happiness is no. 1 right?

Millar: "If you look at the Clark/Lana relationship, it's actually extremely destructive for Lana. Going out with Clark, it's really pretty horrible for her, falling in love with someone who can't tell you the truth and you know that they're hiding something from you. There's a lot of angst for Lana that is pretty damaging. Why does she take it from him? You look at the reality of it - his lies, constantly changing personalities...."
Gough: "It's a relationship where they seem like they should be together but Clarks' not capable at this point in his life of making sacrifices that he needs to to be with her. And now, we've introduced Lois and seen the moment where he meets the woman that he will ultimately end up with, who can frankly roll with the punches of his crazy life
Horton: Jensen and Kristen appear to like each other and that's throwing a dagger right into the heart of the audience who believe that Clark and Lana should be together forever. BOOM! [But] in my heart I believe that Clark loves Lana, until he goes to college and she goes away, whatever. Some kind of separation makes his heart turn to Lois at some point. For the life of the series, from my perspective, every time he sees Lana he thinks 'I should be with her, she's what fulfills me.' Lana, on the other hand, has legitimate reasons for moving on and, much like a high school crush, 40 years later when you run into someone at the high school reunion there is still a little spark there, but that doesn't mean that that person loves who they're with now any less, so she's far freer to have her life expand.
Horton: Without that gut-wrenching, 'I-can't-have-what-I-really-want' Clark becomes less sympathetic and less vulnerable. Lois will earn it over a period of time - how she works out in terms of an acceptable love triangle for the audience, you have to earn that. Going back to the pilot, the minute you met Clark and saw him meet Lana, you just went 'these people should be together, now!' You can't force that. We can write stories, try this and that and present them - until the audience accepts that Clark loves Lois and it's what is meant to be, we can claim it until we're blue in the face, the audience are the ones who validate us. I don't believe he could fall in love with Lois like that."

OK! i think that settles it right? It is Lana this, Lana that. Lana has had god know how many boyfriends, and mind you, which she ends up either killing them or they dying or something. Lana is just a nooorrmal girl with a pretty face and a "power" to make all the guys and mutants fall in love with her. Sesh, NOT ONE unmarried single teenage hot blooded male can resist. Pathetic. I won't be surprise if they make Jonathan Kent fall hopelessly in love with her too or Lex for that matter. Wait, Lex is already in love with her. Oh well then. Even the most evil person cannot escape this vixen.
" don't believe he could fall in love with Lois like that" Like what exactly?! Like they were meant to be together? Like they were hopelessly meant to be together. Pick up a comic "Smallville", (if i have to quote a character, i am glad i am quoting Lois) They were MEANT to be together.
Ok, Smallville has seen a CONSTANT drop in ratings (oh i wonder why) and yet it is still airing. LOL, the writers probably LIVE for Lana, I have Nothing against Kristen Kreuk but i have ALOT AGAINST LANA LANG. She cant make up her dang mind and is sooo rich that u wonder why she keeps pitying herself.Sure she has problems but so do the other characters. Lana does not even bother about the rest of the world only herself. She is a selfpitiying fool that everyone loves. Oh, plus the fact that she keeps getting herself into trouble, not cos she is trying to do some good in the world but cos she is just so "SMART".
The smallville world would be alot better off without Lana Lang.
Secondly, the smallville writers have insulted the Legend of Superman(if this show is even remotely connected to that concept). Shall not elaborate cos i could go on forever.
Thirdly, Lois should find another guy. If the Clark Kent in Smallville is the REAL Clark Kent - a whiny hopelessly in love with lana yet is "not" and is EVIL, then i really cannot see where Superman came from. I think the only way the producers can save this show (believe it or not, it mayyy be able to be saved) would be to say Clark has another twin in the universe and he is being replaced by this twin who is totally the REAL superman/clark kent. Well, it would not be that unbelievable. Afterall, i have yet to see at least 10% of the mutant population being good. They end up being Evil.
Yea, maybe that is the way real life is, but pleaseeeee, you are writing a fictional story with a "happily ever after" ending.
What's so hard?
Clark has a crush on Lana.
Clark is NOT hopelessly in love with Lana.
Clark and Lois meet.
Clark and Lois fall hopelessly in love in the end.
Clark is GOOD.
Clark is Superman.
Clark has loving parents.
And Perry White is not some drunk! He is suppose to be a great editor-in-chief.
But the producers had to just break every single one of this story structure.
They could have done so much and STILL stay within the boundaries. What a pity.
WB probably only keeps it on air cos they own the show and have nth to lose.
I like Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. I know they have diverted from the main structure at times and made stuff a little too impossible, but compared to Smallville? LOL, It is probably much much much much times infinty closer to the legend than Smallville.
I love the first few movies of Superman (have not seen the rest, i know, it is a sin lol)
I loved Smallville when it was in its 1st season. Did not like the Lana and Clark part but i thought it was sweet, like puppy love and all. Now, i hate it. I would watch it, (by accident) just for laughs. I love it when lana gets into trouble, it would be best to kill of her character permanatly.
Anyway, Smallville has become like Harold Pinter's play 'The Caretaker' - Nothing ever happens.
Well, of course Smallville is not as deep as the play or is even as clever as pinter's play but the main idea is there. Nothing ever happens even though alot happens. And i mean this in a bad was for Smallville but a good way for The Caretaker.
After 4 Seasons. It seems like yesterday never really passed and Smallville is still at it's first ep.
haha, now THAT is a comedy friends.
I think i have said my peace, if you have a comment or something about this post then just email me.
I think you know the email add.
Or u could just tag.
That is if u are not as long winded as the Smallville writers (and admitedly, me ;) )
Ciao then.
I am getting a sore throat from typing. (seriously!) go figure!
^^
Nite nite! Sweet Dreams readers!
