Easily the most ridiculous, sappy and pretentious sci-fi/fantasy show out there today is Smallville. It is the most pathetically incompetent, neutered, and feminized incarnation of Superman, ever. Clark Kent spends at least 50% of his screen time looking woeful and lamenting his feelings, and a full three-quarters of his superhero efforts result in his monstrously stupid rear end being saved by one of his many girl friends, all of whom are indestructible ninjas, who must drag Clark YET AGAIN away from the glowing green “meteor rock” that Clark runs into face-first with alarming regularity. Meanwhile, we discover that Clark Kent is also the only learning disabled Kryptonian, ever, who has to take flying lessons from his own (female) cousin and STILL can’t get off the ground. To top it off, whenever Clark gets into a really big jam, the first thing he does is run to a crystal recording of his daddy. Truly pathetic.

The best part about Smallville is that several times an episode two characters will look at each other for what seems to be minutes at the end of a scene. The camera cuts back and forth as each character goes through at least 3 emotions. Clark looks worried, cut to Chloe who is sad and worried, cut to confused looking Clark, cut back to Chloe who is now resolute, back to Clark who mirrors the resolute look then looks confused before going back to looking worried.

You must be a real cinematographer reviewer in real life! That was great!

That is a seriously hilarious rundown of Smallville. I’ve never watched the show and probably never will; but I feel you’ve told me everything I need to know about it.

I watched the first couple of episodes hoping for something good, but then began referring to it as "Clark's Creek".

I’d agree with you on Smallville.. I can’t figure out why folks watch that one.
