I have missed Smallville. Last season was too short and the time lapse between has lost momentum. I hope the new season will keep going and improve. The shows keep hinting he will fly and wear a Superman costume. The hinting has gone on far too long. If that ends the program so be it. Seems like each show is too much the same now, each trying to be more sensational, and stooping to immorality. Just how many cryptic figures can they come up with? If it continues or ends, either way it will need a new twist to be successful.

I am 61 years old.I always liked Superman and I thought
smallville was the best show on tv the past few years.
The way it has been presented has been refreshing because
they did not just repeat the same old story.They added just enough to keep you intersted, If they just put a cape on him and send him flying,there would be nothing more.I would surely miss this show if it went off.

I am a true fan of Smallville and I love to read what others are saying about the show. In my opinion, whether the new time slot will ultimately prove to be the end or not, I just sincerely hope that the writers aren’t out of story lines, for there are so many avenues to explore, even if they veer off the actual Superman story, the true fans will continue to watch the show. One aspect we do need to have is for Clark to take flight, which in my opinion, will open up more stories. the challenge would be how to separate Clark and the man of steel. We all know the true history of the love between Lois and Superman, however with the beautiful Lana Lang, it was great and quite different from the original. So I’m eagerly awaiting the season premier. If this proves to be the last chapter for the show, no worries, for how many shows today have had such a great run.

I too fear that putting Smallville on Friday night might be it’s death nail, however, the actors and actresses are extremely good and there is so much more to the story of Superman to end it now. Hopefully, the ones calling for the shows end will be proven wrong, and we will have more good years left. One commenter stated that he was 17 when the show started, so he feels that that may be the reason he no longer cares for the show. I believe that statistics show that teens are a fickle bunch. Me, I’m a long way from teen hood, and I suspect there are others like me out there, and we have a different perspective. Someone mentioned not caring for the actress playing Lois. I think part of the problem is that we had a very mature and sexy and attractive Lana Lane and it has been difficult for the writers to switch us over to Lois Lane because, though well endowled, she is protrayed as being rather immature. I do think that it was working when they Lois began to appear jealous of Clark giving attention to other women. It was working, but then the writers gave into pressure and brought back Lana Lang. As much as I love Lana, it is time to get back to the relation between Clark and Lois. I’m reminded of a former series, Lois and Clark, in which there was a wonderful protrayal of the love afair between these two. Unfortunately, this series was ended too soon, so let’s not do the same with Smallville because I think there is so much more that can be done with it.

Well I must say that it has been a great run, but it is time for the show to go out with a bang, rather than drag out hopelessly and fade away a blur. The cast and crew have done a good job of showing us clark and superman in a different light. Granted no human is superhuman, but the smallville saga has demonstrated that even superhumans would face many of real lifes challenges. It is trully a show that demonstrates the good moral and ethics that real humans should.

It’s sad that these naysayers feel it’s necessary to write negative comments, hypersensitivity or self-absorbtion? who knows …the truth is this is currently the best SciFi on television and about ten times better than anything Shy littlebeef has been in…sorry…at least Welling doesn’t hate the role like the cast of Spiderman….and that’s because it is well written, has the fabric of reality and an ongoing thread of story and emotional anchors…it’s complexity makes it fulfilling to watch repeatedly, similar to Farscape in that regard…these people now complaining will be the first to complain when its really over…keep up the good work guys!

I’ve always been a big fan of smallville, and season 8 didn’t change my mind at all. i loved it, and I love the fact that continuity has completely gone out the window. I mean, if every superman story has to be the same as the last, what’s the point of retelling the tale. I will miss it. I hope the actually let clark hall off and punch something for once. And I hope clark can take a bit of advice from the great philosophers of REO Speedwagon …. “I believe it’s time for me to fly!”

Agreed w/ Tired SV fam. This poor show should have been out of its misery years ago. As much as I love Tom as Clark, the quality has been job none for years.
