Watched through season 7 slowly over the last few years, it's ok
Plots start getting completely bonkers in seasons 4 and 5 but it dies down
The whole reason I started watching was to see justice league, but I'm dragging my feet on it because it'll probably disappoint me

Enjoy BAD CLARK

>>78927779
Completely unwatchable after the first four five episodes.

I was a kid when this was on and I literally could not believe how bad it was even back then.

Comfy show that suffers from "will they, won't they" for way too long, but otherwise very re-watchable for a CW show especially if you were in your teens around the time when it started.

It's a very comfy show in the vein of Buffy the Vampire Slayer etc, but it's not really about Superman, it's about Clark Kent. He doesn't even fly until late into the show.

Im on Season four and it's getting pretty terrible. I just love all the shitty 00's music in it. It's a neat little time capsule that will age like milk, but I laugh alot watching it. though that may just be my autism

Technically Ollie has always been Bruce-lite, it wasn't until the 80's that he really became his own character. Before that he was always a Batman rip-off they have had great jokes about it in the comics.

>>78927779
Its the best capeshit show.

>>78928815
I had an unbelievable crush on her.

>>78929014
It's shit. Clark is just a whiny self-centered pussy that watches by as everybody and your grandmother becomes a fucking superhero before him. It's littered with the post-Donner Great Destiny/crystals crap that makes it seem like Jor-El didn't shoot his son into outer space to save him, but as some grand plan/mission statement to evolve humanity to a higher state of being. Or to rule over them. Can't even remember it's been 10 years of this shit.
Even the good stuff, like Lex and his dad is annoying with its Sun Tzu/Alexander The Great quoting how to raise your child like a sociopath bullshit after a while.
And people talk shit about Snyder's Pa Kent, but I'd take that xenophobic guy over the self-righteous faggot that we get here that spouts shit about how everybody is equal and you shouldn't judge people, yet he treats Lex like he's a fucking leper for the whole series based solely on his last name.

I had a crush on Tom Welling.

It may be the nostalgic goggles talking but this show represented that adolescent time in your life where you hear or see something which triggeres a profound warm feeling, overwhelmingly cathartic that you forget everything...promply followed by the realization that the you now, this moment, and all the disillusionment growing up brings, will never bring back that moment in time.

Kinda, Clark dated her in season 3 then she got commuted to a mental hospital for trying to kill Lana. She came back halfway through season 4 for a couple episodes and was killed off. I think she was Smallvilles version of Lori Lemaris

You can do a little bit of that but Smallville took it way too far, I mean, several twists and several seasons too far.

How many times did they expect me to give a shit about this. Fine, he's not gonna tell her so they can never be a real couple. That's the resolution of the conflict so now stop bothering me with that sub-plot, it's concluded.

shit goes downhill when Lex becomes a villain, Chloe turns into a super hacker and Louis becomes the love interest instead of Lana.

It's fairly solid as a monster of the week show, enjoy it for what it is

Why was that Flash episode so gay?

They made Clark into a dick by basically isolating Lex into becoming a villain. Still pretty some episodes.

Who the fuck carries on a conversation like this? Whoever's standing in front isn't even doing shit. Not digging through cabinets or cleaning dishes or jerking off the family cow. Just "Oh, hey, I'm going to stand over here and stare at fuck all, pretending you're talking to me from the back seat of the car for no fucking reason."

Best girl all girls no contest. That fucking sand cunt.

When he's flying around at the start of s4 it was bad ass, really enjoyed the effects at the time. Then Lana goes to Paris and becomes a witch or something? Stopped watching around then.

Felicity is the worst part of Arrow, even counting all the horrible storylines the series has had.

Chloe was always second. Literal friendzoned about 2 hours after taking her to the dance.

comfy shit as a teen

it was a different era, the 00s

also yes, it dragged on, but boy were the Luthers the GOATest live action Luthors ever cast

they really were the powerhouse to the series, after Lex left the show kind of went to shit with all the Oliver/Cyborg (RIP)/Aquaman shit (junior JL) and here and there Martian Manhunter

also the actress for Lois was fucking unbearable, that was my biggest complaint about the series/when she was introduced, just damn get the fuck off the show

and yes, i secretly wanted Chloe to be with Clark
the Lexmas episode hurt so fucking much, both for seeing Lex being tortured, and Chloe not getting what should've been

Season 1 bounced around a lot, didn't know what they were doing
Season 2 got their footing
Season 3 is beast climaxing on season finale. Everything past that is downhill
