At this point Tom Welling will be a 50 yearold man , discussing his college years as he handles problems.

So Smallville will be the longest sci fi american show beating Stargate SG-1.Bummer.

Hopefully it's the last season. As much as I enjoy it, he can only not be Superman for so long...

[Chachi]

What season was it his dad died? That was the last season I watched. Just lost interest in it I guess.

[Superbeast]

I understand why, I don't understand how. Are they really going to have him not wear the outfit ten years into this mess? It's meant to be Superman, not SuperOAP.

[Libaax]

I would think this sucks if it was as bad as in the first 5 seasons.

But after Season 8,9 im glad to see another season as long they dont get back to low quality writing.

Although i dont think Superhero tv shows can compared to SG1 a SF show. Superhero is its own genre for many years. Not the same viewers.

Called it even before the confirmation. However I have a feeling the 10th Season may be it's last, Smallville doesn't seem to be having any juice left

:doing the happy dance:

I'm glad it's going to make the Ten Season mark, even if it's the last one. I feel they've opened a great new on-going story with Checkmate into it.

i agree. I never would have thought this concept would produce ten seasons, but now it really should be enough. 10 is also a nice number to let it go.

[Astonishing X-Fan]

The best things about the show were Lex, Lionel, and Clark's parents. All of them are gone.

[dupersuper]

On the 1 hand, I agree it should have run its course by now, on the other, I'll happily keep watching.

So Smallville will be the longest sci fi american show beating Stargate SG-1.Bummer.

Wouldn't 10 seasons tie SG-1, not beat it?

Heck of a lot of overlap at least (myself included).

[Libaax]

There is overlap but Superhero and SF isnt the same. Superhero has the best elements of fantasy,sf. Popularity its more like fantasy.

If it was Cosmic superhero would dominate the comics sales....

SF isnt popular these days in the mainstream tv,comics. Mostly only in BO.

That was season...5 or 6, I think.

SMALLVILLE won me back (though not on a regular basis - mainly because I just forget) when Lana left. The "will they/won't they" crap with her and Clark utterly killed that show for me for several seasons.

[Chadhulhu]

I really liked The introduction of JSA tho the frosty emo kid, almost made me laugh. Doctor fate falling to a like Dipshat like that, I think not. Anyways, I did like the Checkmate tie in, should of done it earlier.
