Smallville 1

THEY ARE LOSING ME!!!!!!.
MY SON AND I HAVE WATCHED SMALLVILLE FROM ITS FIRST EPISODE. WE HAD SMALLVILLE WATCH PARTIES. HE WENT OFF TO COLLEGE LAST YEAR AND WE STILL WOULD CALL EACH OTHER AFTER EACH SHOW TO DISCUSS, BUT NOT THIS YEAR. I JUST TURNED OFF "STATIC" HALF WAY THRU. I WOULD RATHER WATCH ST.JOHNS GET BEAT BY 30-POINTS.

REASONS THEY ARE LOSING ME:
(1)TO MANY OF THIS YEARS SHOWS HAVE BEEN ABOUT LANA/LEX. I AM OVER THEM. THEY ARE SUPPORTING CAST, THEY CANNOT CARRY THE SHOW FOR ME. BOTH CHARACTERS COULD DIE-OFF TOMMORROW AND I WOULD THINK "GOOD, MAYBE NOW WE CAN GET BACK TO CLARK AND MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE". EVEN LAST WEEKS PREGANCY WAS BORING. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS BORDERING ON INSULTING. HONESTLY, I LIKE THE ACTORS, BUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANA/LEX NOW IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO FAST-FORWARD THRU, (YADA-YADA-YADA, SHE WHINES, HE LIES, YADA-YADA-YADA).
(2)THERE SEAMS TO BE MORE COMMERCIAL TIME THAN STORY TIME. THIS IS A SELL-OUT TACTIC THAT ALWAYS BACK-FIRES. VIEWERS DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW FOR THE COMMERCIALS, THE COMMERCIALS ARE SOMETHING WE TOLERATE UNTIL WE CAN GET BACK TO THE SHOW, AND WHEN THERE ARE TO MANY COMMERCIALS THE RHYTHM OF THE SHOW IS LOST AND SO IS THE ATTENTION OF THE VIEWERS.

WELL, THATS ENOUGH. I FEEL SOMEWHAT BETTER NOW THAT I HAVE PURGED, BUT I AM ALSO UNHAPPY BECAUSE I BET ONE OPINON FROM ONE VIEWER PROBABLY WON'T CHANGE A THING, WHICH MEANS THEY PROBABLY STILL HAVE LOST ME. I HOPE NOT.
