I'd say about 80% of my friends stopped watching Smallville the moment Lana Lang was hooking up with Lex Luther. I don't blame them for feeling like the show has jumped shark. Being the faithful follower that I am, I've stuck around, and I have to say the show has grown better with age. Gone are the days of teen angst and "meteor monsters of the week!" Now we have real deal villains like Brainiac, Doomsday, and Zod! What I like most about the show, now, is that the writers are digging into more comic book roots. Smallville has more of a comic book feel without being terribly campy. Whatever they're doing... it's working! Smallville has been approved for a tenth season, despite being in the graveyard time slot of Friday nights!
