Somebody SAVVVVVVVVVEEEEE ME! Smallville cast and crew reflect on show 20yrs later

[a_files06]

They may have played enemies on #Smallville, but behind the scenes, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum helped each other out on set. During one stunt for the series' pilot, Rosenbaum suffered a panic attack, but Welling was there to help him through it: https://t.co/B5EPr4MsYU pic.twitter.com/xC45QGUToX

I can’t imagine anyone else as Lex, the idea is just impossible to wrap my brain around. To this day MR is The Lex Luthor to me, period.

And Zach Levi of all people? Disgusting

i think tom welling looks way hotter now than he did back in the day to me, his look was too clean cut for me!

Is this watchable today? I've always had half a desire to watch it and also I enjoy Tom Welling's beefy hands.

I rewatched it with my sister a few months ago. It’s obviously from the early 2000s i.e. the writing is not so great at times, but the first few seasons are pretty entertaining, at least for the nostalgia. The reveal of Clark’s powers dragged on waaayyy too long.

Let me tell you though, it did not need to go on for 10 seasons. Those last 3 especially were a slog to get through, at least for us; they seemed like a new show at times. Season 7 is where I think it should have ended, and even then, some of the storylines in seasons 1-7 were bonkers.

whaaaat? 8-10 are the best seasons!

[jojito]

I agree. Season 7 was horrendous and then I heard Rossenbaum wasn't going to come back, so I was so ready to quit.
But I watched season 8 anyway and I loved it (and Clark was finally wearing grown up clothes!)
Except for the whole Lana thing (I didn't hate Lana but that storyline should've died in Season 5), it was pretty good. Season 9 was even better.

how could you reunite and talk about anything other that allison mack.

[erin805]

Right? I would pay $$$ to be a fly on the wall when they get together because you can’t tell me they don’t discuss it! Allison Mack apparently already has a boyfriend too

[3rdattemptuser]

came for this comment lol

[90sbritney]

They kind of have talked about her. Tom and Michael said they knew about NXIVM and Allison but they didn't really know what it was about and that around them she was nice. Michael told a story of her coming to his house (this is after the show ended) with a NXIVM member and legit started acting like they owned his house, he threw them out and Allison later called to apologize.

Laura said that she was new and feeling a bit lonely and Allison invited her to join, she didn't went because she didn't have the money to paid for the course. Allison also tried to recruit Alaina Huffman (Black Canary) but she said she brushed it off as she kind of had her life together and didn't feel like she needed to search for ~more.

Callum Blu (Zod) was also recruited but this was after his role in the show ended and Allison wasn't involved

[jojito]

Oh, I didn't know they were friends. That's lovely, especially considering how toxic the fans were to both of them.
