HDNet shows three episodes chronologically every day.
I've been with Smallville since October 16, 2001. And while I definitely dug the series and its take on Superman, I didn't become a die-hard until "Rosetta." From that point on, Tom Welling was my Superman (and I grew up with Christopher Reeve!)
I came to the Hype in the summer of 2004 mainly to help defend people in the old Superman forums who had the nerve to suggest Tom Welling should play Superman (yes, I am a decorated Casting Wars vet.)
Back then, none of us were in this forum. Memory recalls that the SV OGs (ie, Hulk, Pat, Zing, Rene, Trip, etc) were actually frequenters of the Superman forum until we were cast out. In fact, I created the "Official Welling Thread" here because the one we had in the Supes forum was unceremoniously shut down.
Ah, those were the days.
Lately, I don't post here as often. Like most of us, life's changed a lot since the start of the show (and even since I joined the Hype). I've gotten married, moved to a different state, changed jobs several times, had a kid, published a book. I've even had the pleasure to actually meet or talk with people in front of and behind the camera at Smallville. I've even met some of the faces behind the avatars here.
So, for the last six years, this board has definitely been like an online community (our own pre-Facebook/Twitter "social network") and it will be both sad and joyous that day in May when we finally see Tom Welling become Superman. Joyous because, well, Welling as Superman of course. But sad because there'll be no more new episodes to look forward to, but worse still, no more spoilers, news and speculations to come on here and debate about. I don't know the fate of this forum after this season ends, but it'll be hard to see it vanish into the ether.
