Whuuuut, Rosenbaum left because of his paycheck?
Didn't know that at all.
I thought it was just that he was tired of the character.

Tom Welling looks a lot better in that suit than whatshisname - still think the S should be bigger

To Hell with Gough and Millar, those guys crippled this show from the get go. The last 3 seasons at least had Some DC comics stuff in it, rather than that Dawsons creek shit from the first 7 seasons. Don't get me wrong...I liked some parts of Smallville, but it would have been better if those two dicks had nothing to do with it.

There are currently eight Smallville articles on the front page. God I can't wait until this [frick]ing show ends and stops cluttering up our fair site.

This series kept in mind that Superman was never forgotten in a constantly modernizing world. It definitely had its ups and downs, but I'll miss this show.

Not every episode in every season has been great, but there were great epsiodes in every season. "LexMas" and "Onyx" are two of my favorites...

Are they really using the 'Returns' suit?! I'd rather see the 'Lois & Clark' costume.
