SMALLVILLE v Arrow, Flash, Supergirl?

[kirk55555]

I think there are 5 good seasons of SMALLVILLE on the writing side. 1-3 are decent, 4 meh, 5 & 6 felt like it was getting back and 7 suffered from the writers strike. I have a hard time defending 8-10.

I watched all 10 seasons, and honestly for me Seasons 8-10 were the best. He was long out of High School, Lana was mostly gone, superhero things started happening (even if the no flying/costume for Clark thing was moronic), it had a good supporting cast, and it had the best episodes of the series (the Legion of Superheroes episode and the JSA story are my personal favorites). Even then it had problems (the finale was horrible, and the whole Doomsday arc sucked), but I'd say that if I were going to rewatch Smallville, those would be the seasons I'd be most interested in rewatching.

I have to agree with Kirk55555 here. I thought the show got better in the later seasons once they started digging deeper into the DC and Superman mythos. I'd never really been into DC or Superman before Smallville, so it introduced me to a lot of aspects of the DCU. If nothing else I'll at least be thankful to it for that.

They need to get that show on Netflix, already.

Tell me about it. This is probably one of the shows I most want on one of the streaming services.

I like the later seasons a lot too. Season seven was the absolute low-point of the show. It got so bad that I stopped watching the show. One could blame it on the writers' strike, and I'm sure that didn't help (along with the network's persistence that it be the one series to air a complete season that year), but the whole "let's see if we can sneak it by the audience" premise was so silly and contrived that it just never worked to begin with.

They started fresh with season 8. Thought it wasn't all great. Witwer was so obviously underutilized in hindsight, if even just compared to how great he is with this Star Wars stuff.

And speaking of acting, Hartly is a better actor than Amell. (Not that that's saying much.)

Not sure about in the US, but in the UK it's available on Amazon Instant Video.

Does it come with a take-home Morgan?

Well, that's preferable to Casey installing your surveil.. I mean home theatre system.
