reasons why you should watch Smallville

1) Because Lois Lane is wonderful.

2) For the Lex/Clark interactions, especially as they get increasingly on opposite sides.

3) For Lionel Luthor, who is brilliant as a villain, and even better as an anti-hero.

4) For Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) arguing repeatedly with Clark about how superheroing is supposed to work.

5) As a silly spot-the-in-joke game, where you try to pick every reference thrown in for Superman fans.

6) For some actually quite decent special effects.

7) Because the Lois/Clark romance is REALLY GOOD.

It didn't help that Chloe Mack and (the actress who played Lana) got embroiled in NXIUM. Lana got out and wasn't really that involved in it. But Mack is in prison now, serving time for being the leader's second in command.

It's uneven in places, and there are few stories that don't work, but you could say that about most network television series. (shrugs). It's among the better superhero shows.
