It's been a long time since I've posted anything on my blog, so I thought I'd kick-start my new resolve by posting about something that I enjoy. Yes, I am a Smallville fan. For those who are not familiar with Superman lore, Smallville is the name of the place that Superman grew up as the adopted child of Johnathon and Martha Kent.
The show, Smallville, tells the story of young Kal El on his way to becoming Superman. It is in it's 10th and final season (yes, it's been running for 10 years), with the same lead actor (Tom Welling). The premise of the show is very simple -
Endlessly fascinating for me, especially since many themes occur in everyday life. I wanted to plug this show because while it has had some not-so-good episodes, this 10th season is just simply AWESOME!! It deserves to go out with a large bang. I am constantly surprised by how smart the television writing is.
So, take a look at the season 9 finale and the season 10 premier and keep on viewing!
Here is some of what I devour online when I can:

- What was it like to be superhuman and grow up amongst humans?
- What was it like to know you are different and to always have to hide your true self?
- To know you are destined for great things, that you are "chosen" in some way, but not quite sure how to fulfill your destiny?
- To be desperate to find your everlasting love, but not knowing whether or not you will recognise it?
- To struggle against your own weaknesses, striving to attain the perfection you imagine for yourself?
- To make the best decisions when the choices are not always easy or moral?

Re the story lines, I found the episode Luthor one of the best episodes of Season 10. It was very, very dark but so compelling, I was riveted...hmmmm I think I may need to go back and watch that episode again or maybe watch Crisis on Two Earths!
