Smallville: New Season

The new season of Smallville features the new kryptonian cousin Kara. However, I don’t see it a big highlight of the show. Instead, it is more of a compromise.

The first and second season of Smallville became very dull when it repeats the story of a meteor freak found and taken care of. The 3rd, 4th, 5th introduced complex relationships and intense conflicts which made the show really exciting.

Smallville isn’t like CSI. The audience cannot just easily pick up even though that’s probably what the makers want. Given this fact, why not keep the style of high intricacy.

Kara or Zorel kind of characters appear to me that the crew realizes that they need excitement yet are able to come up with some within the already existing roles. I am not against adding new characters, but the new characters shouldn’t just be shallow and added and discarded “in need”. It really spoils the integrity of the show. And it doesn’t help new audience to catch up either.
