End of an Era




Now I don't usually post stuff about the small screen--yet. I'm going to just focus on the big screen for now, write about the films we see for now, and maybe someday in the future focus on TV shows and awesome series like House, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, and all that (please note that the main characters are all doctors--not what I had planned). But this needs to be said. It's the end of an era for me, as Clark Kent (portrayed by today's birthday boy Tom Welling) finally marries Lois Lane on Smallville, or attempts to marry, we really don't know what's going to happen in this episode of episodes. Now, Smallville has been on air since I was a freshman in high school, and I miss the simpler times of that year when I think about the first few episodes. I can tell you exactly where I was in my life during a specific episode during that master season. Also, how much the show's evolved is incredible. We've seen famous villains, famous heroes, sidekicks and known characters mentioned on this show that has been part of a huge chunk of our lives. So a fond farewell to Smallville in the next few weeks. I'm going to be glued to my television watching the 2-hour series finale with Michael Rosenbaum's return as Lex Luthor like I'm sure, everyone else is. Producers, writers and directors couldn't have given us a better 10th season, a way to say goodbye to the actors that have portrayed these famous roles for ten years. They've grown, and so have we.
