The plot is not interesting at all. The plot of Smallville has really gone downhill. However, the finale episode showed great promise. I believe that where smallville really got messed up, was when Micheal Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) wanted to leave the show. In my opinion "Lex Luthor" was a big reason why the first 5-7 seasons of Smallville where so good. I think if the producers could convince Rosenbaum to come back, that would turn the show around. <br /> <br />Overall, I thought season 9 of Smallville just was not very good, however, I have hopes that the 10th (and final) season will be great!

Limping into its 9th season, Smallville stars Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, and Justin Hartley. <br /> <br />The season starts with Clark Kent (Tom Welling) acting like a Grade A jerk to everyone in his life that ever meant anything to him. He is training with his psychotic father to fulfill his destiny, finally, right? No. We still don't get our Superman, not even close, he still can't fly and he wears Batman black as his "Blur" costume. <br /> <br />Clark Kent is figuratively dead leaving Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and Oliver (Justin Hartley) on their own. Chloe is left to look for her lost cousin (Erica Durance) and mourn her dead husband alone. <br /> <br />Later, we see that Lois is back with a hitchhiker that confuses me more than intrigues me. As Alia dies, she gives Clark his father's watch. Interesting right? Not really, later in the season we find that this plot goes nowhere. <br /> <br />All this drama caused by Jimmy OIsen's death. Yes, I'll say it again, Jimmy Olsen. Not even the real Jimmy Olsen to boot, but an imposter, Henry James Olsen. <br /> <br />The first episode is the beginning of a mess of a season. Just wait till you get to the part of the season where Clark inexplicably loves Lois. Or the part where he lost his humanity when he couldn't find her (Pandora). Also, he doesn't trust Chloe, the girl that stuck by him till the end. Retcons galore! <br /> <br />The Clark/Lois romance stinks of network interference. Only in bizarre world could this Clark Kent and this less than inferior Lois end up together. Clark is an immature totalitarian thug and Lois continues to be a buffoon. <br /> <br />Chloe Sullivan is pushed back to the sidelines. Boobs over brains rules in CW land, I guess. The more Lois is shoved down your throat, the less Chloe you'll see. You may block the sun with a finger, but its always there. I look forward to seeing Allison shine once again sometime soon. <br /> <br />Don't get me started on villains. Zod (Callum Blue) is a joke compared to Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) or even last years Davis Bloom/Doomsday (Sam Witwer). As the season progresses you do get some good moments with Tess Mercer (Cassidy Freedman) and Amanda Waller (Pam Grier). <br /> <br />All and all a terrible show. Nothing like seasons 1 through 5 where you could see a hero emerging. Smallville, thank you for killing my Superman. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 You know your childhood has been ruined when you can’t stand the sight of Clark Kent, the alter ego of your once hero.

The season starts with Clark Kent (Tom Welling) acting like a Grade A jerk to everyone in his life that ever meant anything to him. He is training with his psychotic father to fulfill his destiny, finally, right? No. We still don’t get our Superman, not even close, he still can’t fly and he wears Batman black as his “Blur” costume.

Clark Kent is figuratively dead leaving Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and Oliver (Justin Hartley) on their own. Chloe is left to look for her lost cousin (Erica Durance) and mourn her dead husband alone.

Later, we see that Lois is back with a hitchhiker that confuses me more than intrigues me. As Alia dies, she gives Clark his father’s watch. Interesting right? Not really, later in the season we find that this plot goes nowhere.

All this drama caused by Jimmy OIsen’s death. Yes, I’ll say it again, Jimmy Olsen. Not even the real Jimmy Olsen to boot, but an imposter, Henry James Olsen.

The first episode is the beginning of a mess of a season. Just wait till you get to the part of the season where Clark inexplicably loves Lois.

It seems that following the show for 8 seasons and any dvd sets before s9 are now worthless to the overall story for those previous seasons don't seem to matter to the show creators any more. They are simply creating a new show in S9 with no concern for the story they have been telling these past 8 seasons. Personally, I blame the focus on Lois this season for dismal ratings and utterly horrible storytelling - and I'm not the only one who thinks this if the ratings are anything to go by. Come on, being on Friday can excuse some of a drop, but wealth of viewers that departed this show this season compared to last is mindboggling. Season 9 pretty much killed any notion that Smallville can come close to what it was like barely a season ago in s8. <br /> <br />Worst of all, is Smallville's idea that Superman is a thug who has no qualms about being violent to women. Holding Tess over the edge of a building? Gleefully destroying the Two Towers with no thought for the humans scurrying out of the way on the street below? Arson? That is not the Clark of Smallville season 1-8 and I prefer that Clark to the black suited violent thug he is currently. I can't imagine how DC signed off on this version of Clark and I for one have no desire to see anything related to Superman, movies or otherwise, because of Smallville season 9. If the "mythos" has decided the new Superman for a new generation of viewers is a violent thug who likes lording his powers over the humans he is supposed to protect, that I can do without. Coupled with the ignorant, fame-seeking and feminsim-regressing "Lois Lane" Smallville is THE WORST addition to 70 years of mythos. <br /> <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 Each new episode of S9 constantly amazes me at how awful this season is.

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:26:33 +0000 http://www.atatheatrenearyou.org/smallville-the-complete-ninth-season/#comment-17227 It is sad that this series destroyed the story of Superman. <br />Superman did not come to earth to "learn" how to use his super powers. Let me explain: We were born on earth and our bodies have adjusted to the gravity. In fact generation after generation of humans have evolved or adapted to all of the earth's elements. Now imagine you travel to another planet and their atmosphere and gravity are lighter, having been used to heavier gravity you would now be able to fly. And bullets that would destroy and kill the people of that planet would just bounce off you. That is why Kryptonite does not kill Superman, it would be equal to someone from that other planet giving you a rock or piece of earth, it would make you "normal" or weak. <br />Of course none of this is reality, it is just science fiction fun, but it is the truth behind Superman's powers, not this Smallville nonsense! <br />Let's get the facts straight. Quit ruining the story for future generations! Rating: 1 / 5 It is sad that this series destroyed the story of Superman.
