Well, in the overnight ratings for last night's episode, "Crossfire," holds up, then Smallville has risen in the ratings AGAIN, this time to 2.6 million viewers. This represents a continuing increase in viewers, which doesn't even count the number of people watching the show on DVR. As a result, a 10th season is looking more and more likely.
Overall this season, while some of the plotting has been a bit lackluster and there are still continuity and credibility stretches, as far as the characters are concerned, things have been vastly improved, especially with the Lois & Clark dynamic. Almost every scene that Erica Durance and Tom Welling is in together positively crackles.
So what is the feeling about season nine in particular? Feel free to sound off below.
