"Clark, look at me, I'm hideous! I had a breakout last night. Look at all these zits!"
*uses heat vision to melt them off*
"Ohhhh, Clark!"
Personally, I don't think the WB teen-drama formula works with superheroes, but then, I'm continually proven wrong by the show's unprecedented popularity. I've read they're writing Brainiac in ... Brainiac, bottler of worlds; Brainiac, the super robotic genius. Brainiac, in a teen drama. Wonder how that will go over.

I hate to admit it, but it is very well shot. I love the colors they've been able to acheive in some of the episodes.
Can't say much else for it though. They tend to drag the "will his identity as a super being be revealed" schtick all the time. And I'd like to see how the hell they're going to pull off the switch to glasses Clark, they've introduced almost every single person in the Superman series and they've all seen/interacted with Clark without glasses.
Can't speak for characters or story though, as I haven't really watched too many episodes. And those I have watched are prob. out of order (if there is an order). Other than that, s'ok..

what really gets me is how it is possible that after they both move to metropolis, lex doesnt know that superman is his best friend since childhood... ??????
James Marsters, Spike from Buffy/Angel, plays Brainiac.

I mostly watch for hilarity such as Aquaman wearing a orange shirt and green shorts talking about a Junior Lifegaurd Association.
I saw a Flash episode but he was totally gay... :-*

I'll be back.
They should have stick to the basics. But no, WB had to make it a real letdown for all those Superman fans. I kinda liked it at first,but now I wish Clark eats a piece of kryptonite on his lunc, since it seems that stuff is everywhere.

Smallville is no better or worse than any of the other teen/family series out there. I don't remember ever hearing any forced behind-the-stage audience laughter in Smallville though, so that's one saving grace right there :S
lana has gone evil! Kristen is so fuckin hoTT!!!
Honestly I love Smallville for quite a long time(since the first season to be honest)and I can't even wait for the next season to start here (on french tv)so you can call me a "fan" 
...
I know that (often
)the story sucks, it's always(often ) the same thing : "somebody saaaaaaaaave meeeeeee" then a freak born from Kryptonite try to kill Clark or a sibling Clark run super fast beat the freak and then go away super fast tandandan "somebody saaaaaaaave meeeeeeee" the end...
It's stupid but I just love it...being a "fan" of the old Superman movies(and the few comics I saw) I liked the idea of a serie about Superman youth but I must admit that it's IMPOSSIBLE than this Clark can hide his true identity as Superman..."Unfortunately" now that I'm addicted I want to see the end ;)

Erm... I think it was Superman Birthright.... Clark remembered being best friends with Lex as a kid but Lex has no memory. They didn't even give a decent explanation for it. Anyways, it can be done.Mad Angel Loki said:

"kid" "high schooler" they're interchangable. You should look into Birthright regardless.CnC said:As kids. In the series Clark is over 18 and Lex is over 20, and already turning evil. I foresee everyone getting their memory wiped soon.

The disguise is more then just glasses. They're really think and hide the almost glowing blue eyes. Clark walks with a slight hunch, pretends to be a meek weakling, and acts like a klutz. He's not trying to disguise his face, for him its no real problem if someone goes "that guy kinda looks like Superman" cause anyone who spends five minutes around him would find the notion of him being superhuman absurd.CnC said:
