Lots of good stuff to come for you Joby on this series. Enjoy!

I'm halfway through season one now. I am struck by how similar this show is to Buffy in feel and content. Baddie of the week, goofy crew of friends to the main character each with their own little stories to tell and focus on in various episodes. I love the episodes that focus on Clark discovering and coming to terms with his powers. I am also really enjoying the relationship between Lex and Clark, and even though I already know from the comics there's a tragic outcome to his tale, I find myself rooting and hoping for Lex to redeem himself. Great series!

I'm a few episodes into season 2 now and I'm totally addicted. Carrying around the ipod everywhere getting in a few minutes here and a few minutes there whenever I can. Love love love it! I just can't wait to get to the later seasons when I hear there's more DC heroes and villians like Green Arrow, Aquaman, Braniac, Bizarro, Metallo...

The series for me was really strongest about midway in it's run, so you have a lot of good stuff coming. Just always keep in mind this is a different type of telling of Clark's life growing up and his early years as a hero.

Yeah I've always been a Marvel guy over DC so continuity issues and canon vs. non canon is pretty meaningless to me. I am enjoying this show at face value with very few expectations.

Season nine has been pretty good so far. Not sure about the whole Kandorian sub-plot. This coming week's episode looks good. Oh, and Hawkman will be showing up in a special February 2 hr. episode with Michael Shanks (Daniel from SG-1), playing the superhero.

A couple more pictures from the upcoming 2 hr. movie event for the series, "Absolute Justice." Looks like a lot of fun!

I liked the first one back from break. Should be very intersting to see what happens. I'm already timered on the DVR for next weeks Justice League scenario.

Rico · February 01, 2010, 09:38:28 AM

Yeah, it was fun and I like Ollie. The whole Zod storyline though seems just weird to me. He seems like a wimp. Next week's 2 hr. special event should be very cool featuring the JSA.

Don't forget about the big, Justice Society tv-movie event tonight on "Smallville." Michael Shanks is guesting as Hawkman along with other guest stars. Should be a lot of fun!

Preview. Ignore the date listed. In most areas (at least in the US), this airs tonight on the CW.

That was a pretty cool two hours. They played a bit fast and loose with DC comics history, but "Smallville" always does that. Neat to see certain things. But Michael Shanks kind of hammed it up a bit too much - especially with his voice. Still, was fun to watch.

I listened to Geoff Johns, current DC writer and the writer of the movie, on another podcast and I think that he had some great things to say and it made a lot of sense. As for it playing fast and loose with DC history, there are only about a billion and six different versions of DC History and Smallvile is it's own beast.

I think that it delivered on all of the promises that Geoff said it would and there were a ton of easter eggs in it from set pieces to throw away lines. The idea of the JSA retiring was one of the major turning points in comics and was how the silver age started. I like how they made a nod to that.

This was a great show and I love the direction that some of the characters are going in.
