Paj! Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I should technically watch Smallville. I love Superheroes, and my new thing is TV shows. Plus I watched the first 3 seasons on TV. Is it actualy good? I hear such conflict. I know that it's meant to have "got good" recently, but was the stuff before bad? I saw a picture for the Justice Society episode/movie, I loved Dr.Fate and Stargirl. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ive watched Smallville from the beginning, the first 7 seasons are more teen series but 8 and 9 now that its pretty much moved to Metropolis have been really good. I find with Smallville that as long as you accept that its not the usual DC universe so things can happen differently then you can enjoy it. Id love it if once it finished DC carried on with it in comic form as one of the 52 Earths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 You could probably start watching it from 8 to be honest. You will miss out on some of that oh it's that guy from that episode! as well as a lot of why doesn't clark just do that thing like he did in that episode ages ago. Of course, watching it all gives you that little bit more of that wholesome canonical knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Also, if not watching from the start you might be able to look at Kristin Kreuk and not want to punch her in the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 To be fair Kruek seasons 1-3 was fine, season 4 onwards her character just got worse and worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Told you I would have forgotten some :p Mighty Morphin Nickelodeon Rangers Nickelodeon have purchased the rights to the Power Rangers franchise from Disney and will air the previous episodes (all 700 of them!) on Nicktoons later in the year (presumably in America but I'd imagine similar will happen over here) and will produce a new season (20 episodes) for next year.

ReZourceman Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 The Walking Dead (AMN) - Based on the comic book. Fuck yeah. Although FlashForward makes me sad, cos its fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Bye bye Heroes! You were amazingly uninspiring. What?! Ugly Betty is ending?! Lame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Heroes may still be back. The latest scuttlebutt is with NBC picking up a lot it probably wont be back for a season but maybe as a finale "event" (eg 2 hours). And yeah, Ugly Betty is over.

Ashley Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Other than what I posted...? :p http://www.thefutoncritic.com/home.aspx is pretty good for looking into pilots. I've posted all the pickups I could find thus far, but the upfronts (where networks announce their new schedules) have yet to happen so still more to come.

Jon Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I should technically watch Smallville. I love Superheroes, and my new thing is TV shows. Plus I watched the first 3 seasons on TV. Is it actualy good? I hear such conflict. I know that it's meant to have "got good" recently, but was the stuff before bad? I saw a picture for the Justice Society episode/movie, I loved Dr.Fate and Stargirl. :p You liked Buffy, so you'd probably like Smallville. The early going was basically Dawsons Creek but the main guy can run like Usain Bolt. Featuring a different freak of the week and Clark forever dreaming of being in Lana's pants. That basically continued along with the slow introduction to the Superman Mythos. The later seasons are where it's gets better but I do enjoy going back and watching the older ones. One thing i've noticed from that is how much nicer Kristin Kreuk used to look in the earlier season to what she did in the later ones. She was never obviously fat but it seems like she looks even more like a stick insect in later years. It's probably been my favourite TV show, it was the first I became pretty obsessed about and it's weird to think it's been on since I was 15/16. It's also featured some pretty awesome music in it, though it doesn't feature too much commercial music nowadays. Jay, it's amazing how many times you watch it and notice things you didn't the million other times you had watched that episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I just can't believe how drawn out Smallville got!! The first two series, fine... but then seriously, it was like the same thing every season, for AGES!! The Clarke, Lana, Lex relationship became absolutely aweful!

I'm pretty sure you could condense the first 8 seasons into about 3 episodes and not have lost anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
