Yeah. Clark and his friends were all in their freshman year in season 1, aside from Whitney who was a senior. Which is weird that he was dating Lana.

That's just how TV works. ESPECIALLY in the '00s and ESPECIALLY on the CW/WB

>>94416198

Also, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum were the same age when the show started yet Lex was at least 10 years older than Clark

This show was a hot mess

it was always weird as fuck when i was in the 8th grade and most everyone i saw in the same class about to transition into high school still looked like kids

Problem with young actors is puberty. They can be clear face one week and next week they could have a major pimple break out. Also things like random growth spurts and voice changes.
I remember reading about all this in an article explaining why they need to replace the girl in the spy kids movie and such. Shooting something can take weeks or months so you need someone that isn't going to have any drastic image changes.

Also, kids still have to do school and stuff if they're acting, whether it's just a tutor or whatnot. I imagine it can get to be too much. I know My So-Called Life was cancelled because Claire Danes, who was 13-14 when working on the show, didn't want to do it anymore.

Yeah, I could never suspend my disbelief and pretend that anybody in Smallville was actually a teenager. The cast in Buffy looked more like teenagers, and half of them were nearing 30.

>>94425243

I just ignored any mention of time passing until it had a notable effect on the plot. As far as I'm concerned, season 1-4 all took place during Clark's senior year.

Not gonna lie, the dude's a manipulative tool but I'm jealous and wonder how he does it.

>>94416597

I mean between show's like buffy, and everwood and smallville, a lot of shows that dealt with highschool always had a mixture of older and younger looking 'kids' so it never really stuck out to me very much considering but if you really looked at it too hard, they're a bunch of early 20 somethings playing highschoolers.

Eh yeah I vaguely wondered if Lois was in Smallville but considering they seemed to have everyone in it at some point I figured maybe they fudged it. I didn't watch a lot of it as you may imagine, just bits here and there over the years.

I did like Smallville Lois a lot though.

>>94431306

>>94431333

most people on here weren't even born when that aired brah, and most people defend characters that they grew up with and while they're people that watch after the fact, they're more modern choices, which is why you get niche fandom fights in the first place, it's all extemporaneous.

Oh all that sweet cringy nostalgia.
I actually liked the show in its initial seasons. For me it was the first show on television with actual superpowers and I loved the super-villain of the week gimmick. Also adding Superman's mythology to the Dawson's Creek formula created something pretty addictive.
But everything after season 4 was a disaster.

>>94432026
>But everything after season 4 was a disaster.

Season 9 was alright, and Season 10 had a horrible myth arc but was worth it for Lois and Clark.

For some reason, my dad really liked Smallville. He didn't have an interest in the comics I was actually reading but he had fun watching this and asking me about who the villains were and things like that

>>94432104
Thats the problem with everything after season 4: every myth-arc became convoluted as hell and involved at least one retcon about Kryptonians that contradicted earlier events.

God forbid teenage characters go through things teenagers do.

Its taboo to say, but Americans have such a sexual fascination with high school, yet refuse to acknowledge how childlike teenagers in high school are for mostof it. People tie t to their sexual awakenings and ongoing fetishes, but if you were to show just how young HSkids are they'd be disgusted. Making adult teenagers makes it palatable to people.

How did a high school book such big names?

>>94432955
Their one big rule at the beginning of the show was "NO tights, NO flight". And I guess they wanted to stick to that rule for integrity or something, so even 10 years later when he's working with Lois at the Planet and going around in a red and blue suit with the S and he still can't fly? It doesn't really make sense, so let's just give him anxiety and fear of the "DARKNESS" within him or something.

>>94433030
Point by Point

>Justice League cold opening
Why is this good?
>making an awful Doomsday tolerable
Nope, it was all for a terribly contrived love triangle subplot.
>THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES
I forgot that they were even in the show. They made no impression whatsoever. Brainy had the better episode later.
>end of Lana Lang
She was still around.and part of a plot. That doesn't really mean much overall.

>>94432955
In the early seasons, because they wanted it to be a pre-Superman show and typically flight is the moment of ascension (pun intended).

By the time they just embraced that they could move on and do Superman stuff it was probably budget.

>>94433102
I liked League of Superheroes, I wish they'd had the budget to make better use of them and maybe given us a one-shot Green Lantern episode

Being 16 and seeing the Justice League together for the first time on screen was awesome. I don't care if they had sweatshirts for costume, it was cool.

I'll openly admit that I have an extremely soft spot for Witwer and will enjoy him in anything.

When did Lana show up after Toyman outside of Season 11? She and Clark couldn't be near each other after that due to the Kryptonite in her blood

>>94433193
Can we at least agree that Homecoming was the best episode of the show?

>>94433255

I think it was one of the last episodes she was in when toymaker tried to blow up green arrow, it was either before or after that episode when she absorbed the kryptonite

>>94433255
>Can we at least agree that Homecoming was the best episode of the show?

It was one of the best episodes, yes.
In my opinion, the show had several very strong episodes. My personal favorite was the Blue Kryptonite episode in the 10th Season.
Insanely good Lois/Clark episode.

And I didn't mean Lana showed up again in the show, just that she's still around even if they're writing her off. I wouldn't give an episode points just for getting rid of character.

>>94432847
Honestly I wish they would just cut out the bullshit and put more series in college. Teenagers are not interesting and most of the plots are college-type shit anyway. And you could keep them there longer than 4 years if you wanted to not fuck your setting up too much.

Yeah it's really more this.

A minor in California (and on any union show or movie) can only work I think it's 20 hours a week, maximum, and they're limited to that even when school is out, and they can't do it if they're not making their grades (which is why so many of them who don't burn out partying end up going to good colleges), and they have to have a whole other bank account that they can't access and their parents can't access and... the list of protections is pretty long.

But the way kids were treated without those protections is just appalling, so nobody really minds them, they just find ways around. For smaller budgets or longer projects, you just don't use kids, which is fine because there's always plenty of 18 year olds in LA looking to trade on being teenagers.

>Claire Danes

That's another good point. Under Californian law, a minor can dissolve a contract at any time without penalty, so they can just walk off set one day because, I don't know, some shitbag hit on them or they got asked to do the scene again for the fiftieth time or whatever, and that's it. No penalty possible. If an adult walks off set, you can bill them, refuse to pay them, sue them for all kinds of shit, even get them blacklisted with their union so they can't work union stages any more. If a kid does it, your project better be able to cope without them.

And to be honest, I don't think there's many people who disagree with that as a point either. Kids should be able to walk, especially if they're not happy on the production.

>The Niagara Falls Reporter (or "NFR") is a web-only weekly newspaper hosted in Niagara Falls, New York. It was founded on June 28, 2000 by journalist Mike Hudson. The paper is owned by Frank Parlato, who is the predominant author of all of the articles. The site is often cited as reporting untrue information, and having a homophobic slant.[1]

>In 2015, a federal grand jury charged Frank R. Parlato, Jr., 60, and Chitra Selvaraj, 41, on a 19-count indictment with a conspiracy to defraud the United States and certain members of the public, to obstruct the function of the Internal Revenue Service, wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering, and corrupt interference with the administration of the IRS laws. [3]. Later in 2017, the same court would rule against Parleto's claim that the FBI conjured evidence [4].

There's a scam, but its Parlato's.

His "source" is G. Steven Pigeon (who is a real person, despite the name). Mr Pigeon has been an extremely controversial figure for most of his career, and most recently, like his friend Parlato, has been looking into a lot of canteen food and getting daily exercise.

>On 30 June 2016, Pigeon was indicted on bribery, extortion, and 7 other charges. [8]

NXIVM is indeed a real company, and also probably a cult, but Parlato has conflated clients of the company with members of the cult.

There's a better write up here:

http://www.macleans.ca/economy/business/how-to-lose-100-million/

Which does name Kreuk and Mack, but also is at pains to point out they're being recruited in Vancouver for the company coaching program by "high rollers" who are on commission. Contrary to Parlato's claim, neither woman gave up her acting career for the cult - both continue to work, and indeed worked well after 2007 (when Parlato's investigation began) and 2010, when Macleans wrote their article (which you really have to hope they didn't source from Parlato).
