I'm not sure when Smallville started playing mainly towards females, but It has made the show quite painful to watch. I always knew there was excess drama thrown in, but lately the show has gone to the extreme. The long exchanges of emotional charged dialogue between characters, the zoom in on the facial cues, the dramatic change in stories with surprising twists. I knew the writers were slightly appealing to emotional longing for the perfect wedding that women plan for after watching the latest episode of Lois in a wedding dress. I don't know a guy that would have enjoyed the dramatic dance of a love struck lois- thrown out of character by the blue kryptonite. And yes, they brought in another form of kryptonite- this one allows him to control people. What's next, a pink kryptonite that causes clark to act flamingly gay? A balance of action & innovative twists has been replaced with a stale plot lines & cliché dialogue. I was sucked in by the story of Superman, but the thick Drama has made this show blow. If I ever see a superman love triangle again it will be too soon! One more thing; considering how many times the main characters in the show were knocked unconscious, they should be in a coma by now!

I have to respectfully disagree with you, Nathan. :) I happen to think this has been one of Smallville's best seasons- it was time for a little romance. BTW, did you hear- picked up for a 10th Season?!!! Yay!
Romance... What was lana... chopped liver? :) yeah, I did- and I'm glad- hopefully we get some closure with the 10th season (if it is the last).
what's lower than chopped liver? We threw a party when Lana left the show- so, I'm just now interested in the romantic story-line. . . they finally got it right :)
