Why I Still Watch Smallville

October 2nd, 2009 by Steve | 85 Comments

whyistilwatch

Over the past couple of weeks there has been a “cold war” of sorts that has started between myself, Steve Glosson host of Starkville’s House of El, and some of the masses that post on other sites and forums concerning the venom that has been spewed on our beloved Smallville, based on the attacks of others.

The war has broken down into anger-filled rants against these people given by Derek and myself, and quite frankly, they’ve had some words about us too. I stand by my complaints against those who would tear down the honest work by the producers, directors, writers, actors, and crew of a television show that has made just about every night of the week something to look forward to at some point in history.  (Remember Smallville started on Tuesdays, moved to Wednesdays, then Thursdays, and now Fridays…I think if the show does go to a tenth season it should be aired on Mondays to round out the weekday hat trick.)

However, there have been some good points made, though one has to sift through mounds of vulgarity and unfounded criticisms of an actor’s performance here or a story choice there to actually see the points.

Smallville Season 8 DVD Review

September 2nd, 2009 by Derek | 2 Comments

One thing I always strive for at SHoE is not halfway doing anything. Okay, almost not. In the case of the season eight DVD I really wanted to take everything into consideration while preparing my review for the site. This included watching everything on the new collection that makes up what a great season this was. And despite UPS hurling said collection at my door, shattering the case and the first two discs of the set (like it was a personal vendetta) I made up for what I lost with the BluRay version and carried on.

Check out my thoughts on Smallville The Complete Eighth Season DVD after the jump.
