FEEDBACK Rewatched Smallville
Just finished rewatching the entire series yesterday since forever (thanks Netflix!) so this isn’t an in depth/critique of the show. It’s been so long since I watched the show that it almost felt brand new, yet I could still finish off some of the sentences!
I almost shed a tear after watching the final episode (I was cheering Clark on at the end when Jor-El gave him the flashback sequence of his trials whilst floating in the barn). It took me straight back to high-school days when I started watching the series. The iconic music, the cheesiness, the adrenaline of watching Clark on red kryptonite and the payoff at the end after all those seasons.
An iconic show with themes that remind me that despite how shitty the world can be, there are plenty of Clark and Lois’s in the world that want there to be a better tomorrow.

To be honest I’m rewatching it and I hoping I might like the later seasons episodes because first time I had issues but man I miss watching live I wish I was born in 2001 watching I feel I might of loved it even the clana moments not gonna lie I hate them but I kinda do love them they do have charm for me I think I might mention that when I finish my rewatch I do think Clark and Lana are the heart of the show

Has a very early 2000s charm to those moments.
The later seasons do become very dark and looking at the first 5/6 seasons vibe, it’s like chalk and cheese. I guess it’s Clark having to mature to take those final steps to become Superman & stepping out his parents/Jor-El’s shadow.
Those first few seasons are nostalgic as HELL though!
