A.) That spoiler material hasn't even been confirmed.
B.) How can you jump the shark multiple times and STILL be on the air? The whole idea of jumping the shark is that it's a moment where the show goes completely downhill, ratings plummet, and the show eventually gets cancelled. You can't jump the shark once a season.
It just seems to me like you don't like the directions Smallville has taken and are simply manufacturing points in the series you didn't like and labeling them as "shark jumping moments". A show that has
clearly jumped the shark wouldn't be heading into its 7th season and already discussing what to do for its 8th.
Let me put is this way it's the worst thing to have ever happen to Superman with the exception of Erica Durance.
Ratings and the fact that it caters to the teen audience with drag out nonsense of a series (Lana's fake out of a baby is another reason it's a crap show).
Ah a seventh season? Big deal. It's still the worst thing to happen. AlMiles should be writing Eraser: the series and not be anywhere near SV. At least then we wouldn't be waiting seven years to get closer to Superman.
The show jumped the shark at Season Four with the Witch arc and continually loses viewers, each and every single season. Ex-Ksite moderator here. Dealt with. You wanna keep coming up with things because I'm going to keep repeating myself. It's a crap series that needs to be canned A.S.A.P. before AlMiles trash more.
The show's improved but that's not saying much. I'm personally sick of the Lana/Clark relationship dragging out and Clark taking so long to accept things....gripes galore for a series that could be so much more than it is.
It's jumped the shark after season four with the witch arc, that was nothing more than an arc to give Lana something else to do. Jonathon's death and Lana's death, another example, and using the time jump device. Season Six: the Justice League. I could go on. The show isn't improving and that maybe a rumor but it's enough to consider it another jump the shark the moment.
Ratings can keep a show on the air for a long period. It's teen drama, not a show about Superman. The Phantom Zoners were closer to dealing with Superman then all this Lana/Clark nonsense that's dragged on and on and on. The CW drags it out as long as they can because they know it brings in an audience. Long time Superman fans are getting screwed over and those of us that have stuck around, my friends include consider it nothing more than a joke at this point.
I've put up with at and this point could care less about those who defend the show. All the power to you all. Stalker Clark is all yours. When the show gets closer to the mythos then tell me the show hasn't jumped the shark because until it gets closer to the Superman mythos, it still stands.
The only reason I even watch the show is to see Clark become Superman. Thus far the show is no more closer than they were back in season one except a Justice League has fully formed and Clark's fought Zoners and now, Kara's in Smallville. Bravo for seven seasons of not getting close to the goal and not sticking to the Five Season Bible, that was originally mentioned.
