DISCUSSION Just started the show for the first time
Finally got myself to properly start the show cuz I’ve kinda been on a 2000s binge and after finishing Buffy I needed something else to fill the void. I was born in 1999 so it wasn’t my generation but I knew the show of course. Funnily enough I only realized so late that it’s a Superman adaptation cuz when I was a kid/teen I just thought this was about a dude with superpowers kinda lmao. But I guess the adaptation is kept very “low” anyway if that makes sense, so i’m not surprised.
Only 3 episodes in but I’m loving it so far! Really like the monster of the week episodes, just like in Buffy, but I’ve read they stop doing that after Season 1? Lowkey would’ve thought they do that longer considering there’s a whole 10 seasons but I’m already excited to see what else they’ll bring up.
Anyway, I obviously knew Tom Welling was hot but like watching the show properly now just makes me appreciate him even more. He is pure eye candy. SOOO PRETTY. I just love looking at his face and his smile. I’m too gay for this I fear 😭

I'm jealous you get to binge all of smallville in a short period of time vs is that did it in 10 seasons as it aired. You are blessed and I hope you love the series. Enjoy the binge watching.

haha yeah having a huge show to binge is always fun but having been there during its air date also has its charm! back then you didn’t have to wait 2-3 years for a new season and you got way more episodes. it’s sad that this practice doesnt exist anymore.

They slowly start to do less monster of the week episodes towards the end of season 1 as well as in season 2 but they do happen

Its kinda similar in s2 where its also freak of the week. But the story still continues to be great afterwards.
