Smallville (TV series)



         


Smallville is a WB television series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, following the adventures of the young Clark Kent in his hometown of Smallville before he became Superman. It is primarily filmed in the Lower Mainland in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The first season, while relying heavily on Kryptonite as a plot element, eventually established its cast of characters and back-story, and rose steadily in popularity, running into at least 3 seasons so far.

The most significant plot arc is the relationship of Clark and his best friend, Lex Luthor. The editors are laying the groundwork for how their relationship will inevitably slide into the legendary conflict between superhero and supervillain. The relationship of Clark and Lana Lang is also a significant plot arc with Clark's need to hide his alien nature endlessly complicating matters between them. A probable conclusion could reflect the comic books with Lana Lang having Clark's nature revealed to her by Clark and they settle their relationship as simply a close friendship. At the end of the 3rd season, we begin to see the demise of Clark and Lex's relationship as best friends. Clark discovers that Lex has not stopped investigating Clark as he had promised. Clark ends the friendship although several questions are left unanswered.

The WB television channel airs new episodes on Wednesdays at 8:00 EST.
