Monday, October 6th, 2008Poor Jonathan Kent. Sure, Clark Kent’s dad’s maladies over the five seasons he spent on Smallville didn’t quite approach the variety, quantity, and potential lethality of the injuries suffered by Lex Luthor. But everyone knows that a diet high in moralistic platitudes is the third-biggest cause of heart disease after (1) smoking and [...]
The Lana Lang Series of Unfortunate Mishaps, Assaults, and Injuries - Smallville Comedy
Monday, September 29th, 2008I don’t know what’s more silly: the ridiculous level of abuse that the characters on Smallville suffer on a consistent basis, or the nutso amount of time that I spent scouring every episode of Smallville for all of the instances of those abuses so I could edit together these videos.

Friday, September 5th, 2008The new producers of Smallville will clearly grasp at any fodder from the Superman mythology to fill the space left by recently-departed cast members. (No news yet on whether they’ll act on my five suggestions for handling the absence of Lex Luthor. But their obvious desperation can only work in my favor.)
A panel at [...]
Luthor, Shmuthor - The Top Five Disruptive Cast Departures from Superman TV Shows
Monday, July 21st, 2008The long history of live-action TV shows based on the Superman mythos–including Adventures of Superman, Superboy, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and Smallville–has suffered more casting departures and disruptions than all of projects left in Shannen Doherty’s beer-can-strewn wake.
In fact, I think we can officially call it a “curse.” Or at [...]
