Well.. its just... well .. the show kinda painted itself on a corner already.

And.. look. First episode.. i was very happy because Tom was actually a nerd trying to make ends meet as he would progressively learn of his powers.
My interest was peak.

Something I feel I can atleast stick my imagination in and relate to more than seeing a bunch of perfect super model faces, both guy and girls throwing their tiresome soap opera acting about whos cheating on who and when Lana will ever find out who Clark really is and blah blah.

I mean Lana? She doesnt even end up with Clark in the first place. (Sticking to original story, the girl gets knocked up and married to some drunk jerk.)Clark ends up with Lois Lane. So why soo much attention to Lana?  ..meh drama.

But because the original premise wasnt as popular and the show was probably looking at possible cancellation, the WB decided to make the entire story work for its prized viewers..women. And basically turn it into something along the lines of One Tree Hill.. and thats a cool show.. but you know..

What happened to Superman.

The largest WB viewing population Id have to say, are women. Since the WB site's forum is comprised with females going back and forth about who'd they trade their hubbies and bf's for. lol.
Gilmore Girls is cute show, One Tree Hill is funny sometimes, and the babes are hot.. yeah yeah, and all that stuff.

But again, keeping to a "comic book" story level, Smallville just aint it. Sorry. Atleast not for me.

And I'm a loyal comic book artist for 7 years now. I know what Im talking about too. =] lol.
Heh.. but thats soo irrelevant I hope you understand.
Don't take any offense. Its just an opinion of a boy who loved Reeve's Superman.

(Theyre not going to use Tom Welling btw, the producers opinions is almost similar about adapting the same tv actors to the big screen)
One thing directors hate doing, is being repetitious/stagnant. They usually like to take things into their own sometimes interesting, hands, and recreate a property.

This has been my two cents.. again.

Take care and cross your fingers!
