As the tarradiddle of Clark Kent ’s awkward young grownup years head into its eight yr as a television show , it ’s time to face an even more awkward Sojourner Truth : Smallville kind of sucks . For the last seven year , the show has had its moment of grandness ( Yay , the very existence of Chloe ! ) and it ’s moments of … well , not so greatness ( Hello , almost every subplot that ever necessitate Lana Lang ) . With the show ’s 8th season being its first without Lana and Lex as even cast members as well as its first without show God Almighty Alfred Gough and Miles Millar , we ’d wish to take the opportunity to suggest some other change that could make the show worth tuning in to every hebdomad . Enough With The Guest - Stars Already . Hey , I ’m as big a DC Comics nerd as you ’re probable to find , but having the intact Justice League continually drop in ( and making Green Arrow a regular cast extremity in this new season ) ? It ’s a lilliputian much . It ’s one matter to make it seem as if Clark ’s less alone in his meander battle for true statement , justice and looking confused while he fails to in reality figure out any trouble himself , but it ’s another when he ’s constantly being outshone by everyone else around him . That said … When You Have Guest - Stars , Make Them Count . hold the Legion of Super - Heroes show up this year has a destiny of electric potential , because – unlike teenage Green Arrow , teenage Aquaman , teen Flash , Cyborg , Black Canary and the Martian Manhunter – they ’re an established and important part of the Superman mythos ( Yes , I do it the other characters – well , with the exception of Cyborg – are all members of the Justice League with Clark , but that is n’t really the same thing ) . Similarly , if teenaged Bruce Wayne ever seem in the show ( or even Diana Prince , for that matter ) , that would also be an result . But more significantly , if / when those character come along in the show , have them appear for a reason that is more than just “ guest star who are also easter eggs for the risible fans , ” and have their appearance have in mind something to Clark . Stop repeat Storylines That No - One Cares About . Seriously . We all get that the Luthors were not to be trusted , but that does n’t imply that Lex and/or Lionel had to have approximately several million secret laboratory , project or experiments that they find compelled to hide from everyone they know until it threatens the destiny of the world . permit ’s move on from that sort of thing , especially now that both Luthors seem to be gone from the show . Similarly , any game that plough a regular cast extremity into someone with a drab secret that generally involves superpowers ? We do n’t desire to see it . specially if it involves someone getting magical Kryptonian tattoo and then becoming a ninja . start out Making Your Stories Count . I ’m not looking for Lost - style continuity here , but Smallville seems to happen in this weird soap operatic earthly concern where nothing anyone does at long last has any meaning whatsoever : Bad guy wire die and no - one seems that bothered about it . friend betray each other on a regular basis , and once the melodrama has died down , it ’s never mentioned again . The state of relationships transfer as the plot dictate , and the witness is leave not really like about anyone any longer because it ’ll probably all be dissimilar next week after all . Remember that whole continuity thing that Buffy was so expert at , Smallville writers ? How ’s about trying that for awhile ? Most significantly , allow Clark Be The Star Of Your Show . front , I know that Tom Welling ’s special acting ability makes it difficult than you ’d probably like ( Reason number seven that Lex was the most interesting character in the show ? Michael Rosenbaum could act the pants off’ve Welling . And , in the fevered resourcefulness of many ‘ shippers , probably did on a regular base ) , but you ’ve got to give him something to wreak with . Throughout the seven years of Smallville so far , Clark has been the most passive hero imaginable . For the first mates of age , that worked because – hey ! – he was still learning , and also , he was the only one with all the superpowers . But now that it ’s seven eld later and it seems that almost everyone around Clark has either had major power at one detail or is concern to someone with them , you ca n’t use that excuse anymore . Another job is that , the longer the show ’s gone on , the more we ’ve learned that Jor - El and the rest of the Kryptonians seem to have had dealing with Earth before Clark ’s arriver . The aim was believably to deepen the whole Krypton mythology , but all it really did was make Clark less special ; all of a sudden , it was n’t destiny that brought him to Earth , but his dad ’s plan , and by the way , he ’s not even the first ( or , with Kara ’s comer , the last ) Kryptonian to hail to the planet . When your protagonist is surrounded by characters who seem more interesting , likable and powerful than he is , why are we opine to care that much about him ? or else , you could just ignore all of this and have Clark and Loisgo undercover as a duo to investigate some random unhinged fashion plate . I ’m sure that ’ll work as well .
