Question: From what I'm reading,
Smallville is doing much better on Thursdays this year. I also have heard that the producers planned a five-year run, but I don't see why they'd quit when it's doing so well. Is this true? To me, this is by far the most interesting season, with Lex becoming totally evil, Chloe knowing the secret, Lionel normal or not (who knows?), Lana and Clark finally together,
Tom Wopat coming to the show, and the totally cool new ways they show his powers (like jumping onto the missile).
Answer: OK, I've really got to get back into this program again. Most of last season it got away from me because of the
Lost competition (I still haven't caught up, but it's a priority), and I expected it to fade further this year when put up against all of those more heavily hyped Thursday alternatives. But that didn't happen. Instead, the move gave the show a new lease on life, and my in-house source at the magazine tells me it looks very good for a sixth year (maybe even a seventh; who knows?). One of these days, when I get caught up, I'll file either a review in the magazine or at least a dispatch online. The show has proved again that it's worthy of attention.
