This is so cool. Thank you so much for posting these.
It's so fun to see those old pictures again. In some ways, Tom looks exactly the same and in other ways, he has matured so much.
I have never seen that article in Arch.Digest before. Really cool. I literally just sat here for a full 5 minutes just staring at the details in the set pics. I have always loved the Kent home and it's so neat to be able to look closely at a detailed picture and look at all the little nuances and pieces that make it complete.
I respect Al and Miles for everything that they brought to Smallville and of course, I remain grateful for bringing us the series. But every time I read an interview where either of them speak, I can't help but feel like there is a sense of....snobbiness about the Superman franchise. I don't think either of them have a reverance for Superman and what he stands for. I know that's an odd statement. But that's the vibe I get sometimes when they talk about their vision for the show. Also, someone should probably tell them that they are NOT the first show to explore Clark Kent's sex life or to ask the question of whether Clark can have sex. "Lois and Clark", (the show that they made fun on several occasions) actually did that first.:)
Thank you so much again for the pictures. I hope you are feeling better.
Watching the show year after year, it's been a little like living with Tom. The changes have been so gradual I hardly noticed them, focusing on that same gorgeous smile, those same expressive eyes, but then I look back at these early pics and realize how very much he has grown up. It amazes me how even now he can look ALL man one minute, commanding, heroic and powerful, and in the next look like an adorable little boy. :) He's changed a lot over the past ten years, but at the same time he has an ageless quality about him.

I did that, too! Those two pics I posted are my favorites. I especially appreciate the bright light the loft is bathed in for the photo, unlike the dusky shadows we're used to seeing on the show.
Don't get me started on AlMiles. ;) I will say this, though: it was mostly Al with whom I had a problem. He always seemed to make the remarks I found so disrespectful to Tom, and to the Superman mythos. I have a tendency to lump them together, but Miles aggravated me less. Still, that just could have been because he tended to talk less. :) I do remember one interview I read where Miles emphasized that Smallville is Clark's story, and that it was their responsibility as showrunners to always bring the focus back to him, and I appreciated that. It's something I think the show lost sight of as the years went on and coming up with fresh storylines became more of a challenge.
