only two decades late for this conversation...

I am watching Smallville for the first time.

I have many thoughts on many aspects of this, but right now I'm just going to share three:

1) Buffy did high school so much better – especially in terms of recurring background students.

2) This show is doing Lois Lane perfectly, and I love it.

3) If I ever rewatch, I'm going to keep a running amnesia score for each character. I'm only up to season 5, and I swear some of these characters are already on double digits.

re:1 -- yes, BtVS did. It was a great show. <3

I watched SV when it aired, but only the first 3 seasons. But it is always fun to go back and discover a show you didn't see the first time around. (and if nothing else, the fannish output on AO3 would be huge. I remember it being a giant fandom back in the day.)

Yeah, definitely going to check out AO3 when I’ve watched a couple more seasons.

This show is ridiculous, but it’s holding my attention.
