Hahahah some of you guys really crack me up with the abnormal hate for Lana. ^_^ I mean, really, come on.

I love both Lois and Lana and never actually would choose either. I loved Lana all the way through her final regular year (didn't see season eight yet) and I loved Lois all the way since the beginning.

And don't get me started on the puzzling hatred for Chloe all the way through her run.

OMG!! She was a nightmare. Just so horrible. If she had just kept her perfect pink mitts off my Lex I could have made my peace with her awfulness, but no. She had to take him down too.

There is nothing abnormal about my undying hate for that evil hell bitch. Thanks. ;)

Chloe was never as bad for me. Maybe because Clark and Lex weren't falling all over themselves for her. It also was never a Lana versus Lois thing for me because I always knew that Lana was no real threat to Lois. That's just not the way the story plays out. The second Lois Lane showed up Lana and Clark were basically toast. I simply hated Lana Lang for who she was all on her own.

I had the same feelings. I wanted to see L/C get married and I wanted a bigger fight between Clark/Darkseid. Also, in 2018, L/C are still not married? Huh? I was confused by that.

The finale was okay, I didn't hate it or anything.

But overall, I loved the entire series. I'm definitely going to miss watching the sexy Erica Durance. LOL And I'm going to miss the cinematography too. It was one of the best shows on tv to look at. It was beautiful.

I find this show to be such a mixed experience. At times it can be so good, but that usually lasts for an episode or two or maybe even more than two, but then it tends to get... I don't know how to describe it. I kind of can't wait to watch it to the end and then be done with it for good.

Still, when it is good, it is amazing. Erica Durance was amazing all the way through her stay, but ever since she darkened her hair (S8) she is even more beautiful and interesting than before. I guess the dynamic between her and Welling is the thing that has kept me watching this long.

I'm on the half of season 9 at the moment, and the first half was okay, but currently I'm struggling through "Absolute Justice." :lol:

Yeah the show wasn't really all that great, especially with Al & Miles were running things. I hate the Chloe & Lana propping at the expense of Clark in almost every season

Tom & Erica are love :wub: I love Erica's hair dark, it looks so much better. I hated the blonde

I always had mixed feelings about the show but I thought it got much better when Lana left and when they moved away from Red Kryptonite of the Week. I remember the showrunners in the first few years talking breathlessly about what new hairstyle Lana was going to have. Never mind that she had the personality of a dead fish.

I actually find most storylines to be way better and more intriguing in the first seven seasons, then as far as I've seen in seasons eight and nine. The only thing keeping me hooked are Clark and Lois. Otherwise, the first part of the show winds hands down.

The best seasons were the middle ones IMO. Seasons 1-3 were alright but they were just kind of a set up for the series I feel. Seasons 4-7 were when I felt the show really hit their stride and started taking risks that seemed to pay off. I loved the progression we got from Super Boy to Superman and we got to see the middle of his story. I personally found that to be a lot more interesting then the beginning and the ending. Once season eight rolled around the show felt so tired. I still can't believe this show lasted 10 seasons though. It's a great accomplishment. I felt the only thing anchoring me to the show in the later seasons was Chloe who was pretty much a break out character for me in the later seasons (S6-8 especially), although I didn't like her story with Oliver.

I never cared for this version of Lois though.

I've been rewatching the series and seasons 6-8 are going down much better the second or third time around. I'm not sure why but for some reason, each had something irritating about them that I didn't like much the first time (Lexana, Kara, Davis) but are much more interesting now.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
