CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Anyone been watching "Smallville" lately? Does anyone seems to notice that this season of "Smallville" is LITTLE more oriented towards sex appeal? It's driving me crazy!! @___@ Already, about half of the characters have been viewed half-naked. The episodes seem to come about "provocatively"? AHH! MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!

WHERE'S SUPERMAN WHEN YOU NEED HIM?!?!?! O_O

unfortantly the world is corupt and is getting more corupt every day....

sounds like good old american media doing what they can for ratings....
Along w/ reality TV show, err.... Can't stand them.

Ahh! I hate reality TV. The worst par tis, its so fake. I mean, I have a really hard time believing 90% of those shows.

And yes, our culture sucks that way. I try to say away from the TV and keep to my christian rock CDs and manga. Sad that show went that way, tho. ;0;

*I love your sig and s/n!*

The Superman that Smallville's Clark is growing into scares me. What I want to know is where is Lex Luthor when we need him?

LOL termyt. He's actually in Smallville right now...

Well, I'm a fan of Smallville. I find Clark Kent a lot more interesting than Superman, and seeing how he's moving towards becoming Superman is a process that's fascinating and enjoyable for me to watch. Plus i enjoy all the characters (and yes, I do like Lois Lane as well) as well as all the little in-jokes and references they make to Superman's future and the awesome special effects.

However, I have to say that I'm not particularly happy with the "sex appeal" episodes that we've been seeing such as "Facade", "Devoted' and "Spell". I chose not to watch those episodes as a sort of protest. I particularly don't like it when it's pointless or when the reason for using it is pretty weak. However, I think that we have had some good episodes this season ("Run" and "Transference", for instance) that have shown how good an episode can be without a "titillation" gimmick.

Hopefully the writers will move out of this "sex appeal" thing soon. While there are a lot of people who like it, there is also a surprising number of fans out there that aren't happy about it...

And on a side note, this would probably be better in the "In the Spotlight" forum...maybe...

I don't watch smallville, but I have read 3.2 seasons worth of transcripts of the show online. It is VERY annoying when the writers use sex to drive a show.

yeah, thats why i watch.... actually i don't watch tv lol

i DO like crime shows, i NEVER watch those stupid WB teen dramas like "charmed" or "the mountain" or other random stuff

Tell me about it.... I was chanel surfing and stopped to watch a few minutes of the latest episode where Lana goes all Wicked-Witch over Clark's base. I shreiked and changed the chanel.


And that is the last time I watch anything other then Lost.

I recently saw that episode of Smallville... And I was disappointed. I didn't watch most of it, but the whole 'sexy alter-ego' thing just didn't work for the show. They should stick to the strong characterization and (melo)drama of the earlier seasons.... It was much more enjoyable then.

May I make a suggestion?

Write to them and complain.

They can be emailed at faces@thewb.com

I'm going to be.

Sick of that trash.

Good show too.

yeah! reality tv is not really about reality at all.. i mean look at fear factor; who in their right mind in real life would eat cow testicles?!?!? @_@ or check out survivor, it's all an organized game! hahah. give me good old pbs or kcet.. oooh and history channel! hehe. sorry, i'm a history junkie ^^.

I used to watch this show, but after I was in India for 6 months (long story) I got out of it and I had a hard time getting back into it once I came back. I noticed that the TV ads seemed to go a little on the...erm...scandalious side, though. Sad to see it...it was a really good show when I was into it...the actor who plays Lex Luthor is a pure genius.

Turned me off from the series.

I've never seen Smallville but I don't plan to (I don't even like Superman).

They did the same thing with X2: X-Men United. A movie doesn't need language and sex to be good. o_O

thats why i have my imported oriental shows

oh yeah and LOST

I agree. I haven't been watching that much of this season since they are doing that more.

I like Michael Rosenbaum too! He does a great job portraying Lex Luthor.

In Smallville, Lex Luthor is much more heroic than Clark Kent. And that's just wrong.

T_T noooooooo!!! T_T

Maybe they're setting up the characters in that way so we'll be even more surprised/angered/etc when Lex turns evil.
