Shrinking Smallville

The show 'Smallville' is one of the few shows that gives a reason to tune into the CW network. But there's a few minor flaws that make it perfect. No, I'm not saying the show needs a few tweeks here and there. However I would like to state for the record producers of the show have stretched out a LOT of the Superman mythology way too long.

Yes, I enjoy watching the show as much as the next fanboy/fangirl but after nine seasons and the big tenth season comming in this fall - at a certain point I'd like to think I've had my fill. Somewhere in my ego had thoughts of how I would have the show into a certain direction. First season of the show didn't explore that much but more or less just the introduction of his powers.
Shortly after the series dragged out storylines which were part soap opera and part teen drama. Looking back at a few of the earlier episodes from previous seasons there are few times it was silly, not worth watching and too cheesy for television.

Eventually came the story arcs within certain episodes that not fully explored but it's foreshadowing towards the season finale. Character building is good for a television series but how it's built over time is another thing. On a technical note, 'yes' I like the new direction and 'no' I don't like why it took so long to create this build. All in all, I hope the upcoming season will tie up some loose ends and we'll get to see the series finale soon enough.
