Let's start with the characters and how they relate.



*looks around* Anyone, anyone...

Here I go for a 3rd time. The computer keeps kicking me off everytime I'm about to post.

Klulu~ What an awesome post! Maybe you should consider writing a book. I would love to read it.

I would have to say that I loved it since the Pilot. I will admit I got a bit frustrated with several of the episodes later when it seemed like they all revolved around just Clark saving someone. I tend to enjoy the relationships between the characters more than all of the action.

I especially like the ongoing relationship with Clark & Lana. I also like the dynamics of Clark & Lex. Now see I was going to post more, but I'm afraid it will not post. So more later.



To answer this question quickly, there are not many rules here. The 3 rules we do have can be found under the Admin Announcements Forum. Which basically states, you can post anything you like here, whether positive or negative as long as it is not against another poster.

As far as Spoilers go~ Some individual forums do have spoiler rules, but this one does not. Anything goes until majority feel like they would like to remain unspoiled. I do try to post spoiler in the subject lines out of a courtesy to others though.

Personally, I hope the writers don't actually put Clark and Lana together. I think the show will work better if they leave it as Clark having a distant unrequited crush on the "perfect, all-American smalltown girl" (that being Lana, in his eyes), while discovering who he is through his relationships with the other people in his life. To me, that's what would fit best with the mythos (and keep the show interesting).

Mind you, I'm not at all saying that Lana is perfect - but she's played as a sweet, smart, pretty, kind, high-school cheerleader type who does things like organize blood drives in her spare time and etc. So clearly she's supposed to represent a lot of ideals that Clark will always appreciate (and someday fight for, as Superman).

Actually Lana, like Clark, is a teenager with flaws - that's a plus for the show, btw, because these guys are NOT cookie-cutter Superman-y characters. But in a relationship, the flaws eventually become evident and tarnish the illusion of idealism.

In Smallville, it's Chloe who is actually more like Lois, and therefore more like what Clark's taste as an adult will lean toward. Though I'd rather the writers go slowly or not at all with that 'ship, too.

But for the record, I don't 'ship Clark with either girl. I'm most interested in the relationship between Clark and Lex, and in the family relationships of the Kents and the Luthors. So a 'shipper would probably have a different take on this one!

Oh, shoot. I've written another book-length post! Sorry!

The password thing started w/ the episode "Shimmer" I believe when Victoria Hardwick was looking at Lex's computer files. The website she was looking at is an actual website the WB created www.luthorcorp.net Since that episode people have been trying to crack the password (that gets changed daily). People have managed to get in and have found some information. www.kryptonsite.com mentions it on the homepage and in the message board. I have never been to the website, but there is information there on Lionel Luthor, LuthorCorp, and I believe on Lex too.

CCC~ Thank you! I was a little off. I was thinking everyone was just trying to figure out the password on the show. Has anyone cracked it yet? And if so, what is on the site? Does anyone know? Oh and one more thing.. LOL> Where would I find the link?

Blondee~ I would love to know what the article in Rollingstone said that would interest you to the show now. Care to summarize, pretty please?

And my perspective would be a little warped since I'm all about the C&L

I've just gotta ask it, bunniefuu. Which C and which L?

Just to add a bit more about the password thing - there are actually two different things going on regarding them. At the LuthorCorp.Net site, there's been a sort-of link to their intranet site for a while now. This is the one that folks have been trying to break into since January - the one that shows up in Shimmer. It's actually a flash media piece, and can be viewed as such (basically by playing it, click by click). It's got a couple of things in there - a breached-access warning screen and an entry page with 'links' that don't work. I suspect that TPTB may create a real one of these somewhere down the road, but the one that's there now is a bluff. Other links on that website have things little snippets behind them, too, btw, to give the appearance of a legitimate business website - stock data, etc. (It's at www.luthorcorp.net in case you want to play along )

The second one is the newly-released Annual Report password stuff. This is set up so that LuthorCorp stockholders can access a video message from Lionel Luthor. (It's advertised, among other things, in the Smallville Ledger website. The WB is going really interactive with the Smallville world, which is a lot of fun ) Anyway, that one does have a legitimate password, and does actually lead to a video - actually, three videos. (I love Lionel Luthor, so I've played that video several times, even though it's pretty much just a CEO talking to his investors.)

Was that the first episode you've seen, Blondee? I'd love to know your opinions of the main characters, based on just that. I've seen them since the beginning, so it'd be interesting to know your initial take on them at this stage of the season.

Here ya go~

Clark
Lex
Lana
Chloe
Pete
Clark's parents
Lex's father
Whitney

I think that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
My apologies for such a short post~ I'm trying to finish up alot of the newer forums. I'll post more later in the week.

Come on you can't tell already? I thought the banner would give it away. Well, I'm a sucker for the romance. Also, thank you so much for the links. I will definitely check them out.

Blondee~ What I would be intrested in knowing is, after you go back and watch all the previous episodes, if your opinion changes at all.

CCC~ I know I did a terrible job on the character list. Thank you for helping me out. I didn't even put last names. Bad Bunny. LOL

Let's see... I can't really comment on the above without going into spoilers. I'll keep this thread open for non-spoilerish topics and I'll open a new one for general spoilers and spec's.

Klulu~ If I were you, I wouldn't read them.

Yay Diana! I love the new banner & buttons! And Seeing them up, I honestly think they look awesome against the background.
