I haven't watched more than an episode or two of Smallville in years, I think -- I never watched it regularly at all -- but it's certainly interesting looking in from the outside at fan reactions as the show changes and the universe it's set in expands.
I wish the SPN writers etc. weren't so quick to discard female characters. What interests me is that they're clearly capable of creating interesting female characters, but having done so it seems like "kill them off" is the only thing they can think to do with them. It's very frustrating, and whereas on the one hand I do like the claustrophobia of the SPN-verse, it can be taken to extremes.
