My Own Worst Enemy

[lou2099]

I watched five minutes of this show and it was unbearable.

You know what bothers me about this show? Henry's son is of a drastically different ethnicity than either of his parents. He visibly is Latino or Native American, not quite sure which. The casting directors surely knew that, couldn't have expected the audience not to notice, and the kid's acting isn't so phenomenal that he had to be cast regardless. I really want to know if they had plans for this.

Also, its a shame that only two episodes remain. They are going interesting places...especially with Cromwell's character and his role in the death of Edwards' parents and we'll never know

 

[Rocker22]

Maybe they knew he would be in Twilight? haha

It's not worth looking into. Kristin Kreuk clearly has East Asian ancestry, but her Lana Lang didn't on Smallville. According to imdb, the kid is of French, German, and Dutch descent.

Smallville is a poorly written show with tons of plot holes. Furthermore, were Kreuk's parents on the show ever revealed? Its my understanding that they were dead by the pilot. So the character IS of Asian descent even if it is not a plot point. Meanwhile on MOWE, we have seen Jack's parents. They are both caucasian. Which means Jack is probably not their natural child or Angie had an affair.

I guess we won't have to worry about it anymore now that the show is cancelled.

And season 8 of Smallville has been pretty good so far. A real step up from previous seasons.

Her parents were shown on the pilot and blown up, and they weren't asian

Her parents were shown on the pilot and blown up, and they weren't asian

Then either Lana's mother got freaky with an Asian mail man or it is sloppy casting.

I suspect the latter...(unless she was adopted)

 

[Abaddon]

They revealed in like the second season that Lana's mom got freaky with another dude while she and her husband had taken a break. Lana eventually found her real father: also white, lol.

 

[Golgo-13]

I really enjoyed last nights ep. Cool to see Bill Duke in this...

 

[Kelly]

With NBC having major financial problems, we may be seeing more drama's cut. Switching Leno to Prime Time 5 nights a week, cutting 500 jobs........I'm sure they are glad ER is finishing this season.....who knows what will go next in order to move more news shows in.

 

[K.B.]

Christian Slater is a damn good actor and its a shame this shows been cut short

 

[Matt]

That was a hell of a cliff hanger to end on. ABC really has nothing going on, they should pick this show up and give it a nice Wednesday time slot.

 

[Prison Mike]

I missed the last 20 minutes or so of the episode! I need to find it online.

 

[Golgo-13]

Was this it? No wonder ppl are loosing faith in tv shows lately. Last nights ep was great! And Tom's storyline..what his wife witnessed.. ....!

Yeah. It sucks that the show ended with what was possibly the episode that gave the show the most potential and depth.

 

[Prison Mike]

wait, was last night's episode the last of the series? I thought they shot 13 episodes?

 

[TwilightPro101]

Ironically, I caught the last episode as well....and wow! Another show lost to NBC's trigger finger. I figured Knight Rider would be the one going out, not this one.

Knight Rider is ending as well they just filmed more episodes of that show. Heros will most likely go as well. These sci fi shows are costing the channels to much with not enough returns.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Eh, I was interested but unfortunately the show couldn't build momentum. :-/ I enjoyed it for most of the run but not that sad to see it go.

Geez, bring back Journey Man

 

[Prison Mike]

so basically the show has ended with a cliffhanger? that sucks.

Oh gee sorry no...Kevin McKidd has a real job on a real tv show now

Not likely. Even with the declining ratings, Heroes is still one of their top shows.

I agree; one of the few times during the show I actually went, "WOW! What must she be thinking?" Just amazing.

BTW, am I the only one who took this long to get the Jekyl and Hyde reference? I'd always thought there was something strange about the names Henry (for the law abiding, good hearted citizen) and Edward (for the violent and talented killer who does whatever he pleases...).

It was when I was watching League of Ex. Gentleman the other night and Mr. Hyde saw Henry in a reflection and Henry said, "Way to go, Edward!" when I thought, "Oh my God. I get it. I'm so freaking dense sometimes..."

It's like I tells folks... I ain't stoopid. Just a little slow...

PS Maybe sci fi could pick it up. Or someone. Anyone? A movie? Comic book? Yeah, a teamup with MOWE and the Punisher, only he gets stuck with Henry...
