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 literally just sat here for a full 5 minutes just staring at the details in the set pics.
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.
