This from Hollywoodlife.com:
“Season 10 of Smallville will be the last season” Tom told HollywoodLife.com."
Sounds like Tom Welling let the info slip while at an interview with HollywoodLife.com yesterday.
I liked Smallville, in fact I can remember watching the first episode thinking "You know they might have something here." But after the second or third time the shows writers and producers dragged themes and made new ways to get out of tying things up, I quit watching the show for a few years. Smallville got to be redundant without the payoff. I started watching the show again only after hearing it could possibly be canceled.
Smallville has gotten better, but that statement proves to be a light statement when you see what it has gotten better from.
After the shows closing I think Tom Welling should get a chance to be Superman, but I doubt it will happen. Just a gut feeling.
