well i am just into season 4 here,just watched ep 4.I have to say i am very dissapointed so far.Allthough next weeks DOES look good from the trailer.But i honestly feel like they are trying to squeeze as much out of it as possible and it harms the show.I now feel less enthusiastic about the show as i used to.now please do not say i am bashing the show because i have always watched it and liked it.At the same time i have never wanted welling in the new film.
But i think the fact that the new film is into casting and nearly starting filming has reduced my entusiasm for the show and could be the same with many others.
like i said i liked the show but i DO hope this is the final season.Freak of the weeks(series fillers) just make me want to turn off.

Recruit got 4.91 million viewers, second for WB behind Gilmore Girls. AND GG was airing its 100th episode which probably gave it a boost.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

That's ok

ok i am not an american so i don't know this.But isn't 4.91m viewers a low amount for the states?

Depends on the network. That figure represented the second most watched show for The WB last week. ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX are in more markets so they get more viewers by default.

SV is still kicking major ass in the 18-49 demo.

More bleh ratings......then again, it's to be expected. More eppy's like Crusade and Run would easily have Smallville in the 6 to mid Million range.

70 years of history you guys, lets use some of it!

And don't get me started on next week's preview...

To go off on a rant for a sec, I SERIOUSLY don't get some of you guys with SR after watching some of the stuff goin on in Smallville. *Some* people won't let Singer get away with a vague history(moot point with some I know) which could really mean anything. Yet, have the gall to call this witch storyline 'fun' and 'entertaining' and looking forward to next week? WTF???? This stuff is getting HORRIBLE...it's going absolutely nowhere. I read some people calling last night's episode really good...I'm sorry but take the Smallville Blinders off for a sec, they are taking whatever liberties they have with the show and REEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLY stretching it out thin. Take last night for example, the only mildly entertaining thing was the chemistry between L&C. THATS IT! Maybe it's just me, but I can't believe these are the same guys that gave us Rosetta, Run, and all those cliffhangers. And people will talk of how Singerman reeks of Donner worship....I think some people need to look at what's right in front of them with an objective view. IF SR, turns out to be a crappy film I'll be happy to say it....just like I really like (d) Smallville. But now, I have no problem saying a lot of it is really just turning me off to future viewings. (Bar season enders or something that really grabs me in the trailer)

Rant over, sorry had to let that out.

Slow day in the Superman forum, Pickle?

Double LOL!

P.S.

More shots of Erica Durance in that green shirt on a cold Smallville night= RATINGS!!!!

[The Incredible Hulk]

I dont see what the issue with last night's show is? Shelby is right out of SFAS. people complain about them not using the comics, then they go ahead and do so, and they still complain?

As for next weeks show, it's finally going to tie in the crystals with the whole Lana/witch thing, while also resolving the Dr. Swann death and it will even include Jor El, in effect giving a plot summary, and moving forward the main theme of the season of Clark collecting the crystals, yet people are still complaining?

What does any of this have to do with Singerman or the price of tea in China?

Too true.

It seems like the same people who complain about freaks of the week are also complaining about the witch storyline and the eps that bring in stuff from the comics.

Some people are just never happy, unless they can replay Lois coming down the stairs over and over again...

BTW: I asked C. Lee to come on over here and merge some of these threads... it's getting confusing with like ten threads on Mulana and ten on Krypto.

 

[Pickle-El]

They could chosen a different preview, then I could have been disappointed, saying 'WTF' while watching it, not before.

'I got a bad disease, from my brain is where I bleeeeeeeeeeeeed.'



I don't think I am gonna actually post anymore, just quote lyrics in songs to express how I feel about a given situation...how's that?

The movie is a one shot deal they HAVE to get it right. You can't compare that with over 88 hours of a Tv show. We can enjoy certain storylines and not others and still overall enjoy the show. TV shows don't face the same level of scrutiny and criticism. Let's face it Smallville has raised Superman's profile, been a fairly sucessful show and not been overally geeky. The movie is up in the air it could possiblly damage the character. There's just more at stake.

finally someone who agrees that smallville now sucks.

 

[Serene]

This thread is making my brain hurt.

I just want to say how funny I think it is that I absolutely don't even remember Lois in a green shirt.

Lemme take a wild guess... it was a little tight along the bosoms? Kinda hard not to be.

Wow! Excellent! Well said, Lara.

I just want to say how funny I think it is that I absolutely don't even remember Lois in a green shirt.

Hah! Me too. In complete and all honesty, the only time I ever notice what people are wearing is when Lana is in pink (love to make fun of that), Chloe has some silly flower jewelry or pattern on her blouse (equally funny), Lex is decked out in purple, or when Clark is in his red & blues.

...or when he's shirtless. THAT I sit up for.

 

[Serene]

Wow! Excellent! Well said, Lara.

I agree. Nicely said, Lara.

or when Clark is in his red & blues.

Clark in black makes my irises disappear.

...or when he's shirtless. THAT I sit up for.

Well... D'uh! Speaking of which.. whatever happened to all the gratuitous nekkid Clark scenes that people were so up in arms about? Dammit.

Isobel seemed to prefer Clark semi-nekkid... hopefully she'll come through for us next week.

You make valid points, but don't expect to get recognized by some of the more pronounced Smallville apologists. Their idea of a good episode is Clark taking off his shirt. They think Tom Welling is hot, therefor nothing can be wrong with the show.

I think it's totally cool that you don't like the Lana/witch storyline, Pat. I have enough respect for your opinion as an intelligent and informed SV fan that I always enjoy reading your viewpoints concerning the show.. whether or not we agree on things.

I'm glad we're not a bunch of lemmings in here.. contrary to what some people might think.

Hee! No prob, Serene. The true regs in this forum know each other well enough to know that nobody here thinks the show is perfect. We all have our personal issues with the writing *cough*witch subplot*cough*, the characters *cough*Jason*cough*, and wow, even the actors *cough*KK*cough*. Liking a show doesn't mean we have blind faith to it or its producers *cough*Singerman*cough* Gee, imagine that?

Anyhoo, I'm off to the land of nod. I think I'll run the tape back to see that scene of Lois in the green blouse. It appears to have been a hit with the gents and I just gotta see what all the fuss was about.
