I want to smell dark matter
I started watching Smallville with the first season. It was pretty good. It showed signs that it could turn into something really good. Season two was even better and had a really good finale. Season three I think was probably good too. But there came a point where I realised it was never going to live up to its potential. And it started getting worse. Nothing changed. The episodes had always been formulaic but they became painfully so. The acting seemed to get worse. All the interesting characters gradually left (even Chloe's gone in the final season. She did nine years but ten was too much even for her.)
But every year I'd come back. I'd watch "if nothing else is on" sometimes. I'd miss episodes and not care. But I'd always come back. It's not like there's that many tv shows in the world, is there? And there often is nothing else on. And maybe it would get better. Sometimes there were good episodes even in the late seasons. Not many...and even the good ones always had the ten minutes of "here is the lesson of this episode!" at the end, like Thunderkats or He-Man but without the winking to camera and laughing...AND I JUST KEPT COMING BACK.
Ten years is a long time. Was it just that I hate myself? Is that why I'd watch? A form of self harm? I really can't explain it, but I feel I must justify it to myself. I'm watching the final season now. I missed the first few episodes but it doesn't really matter. I don't even pay attention. But I watch it. I don't understand. Help me. Please.
Somebody save me.
