WRITERS: please stop that! & writers meeting (Merged)

[ClarkRules!]

this was a fantastic episode but i can't take these continuity issues ANYMORE!

Clark TOLD Lana, she accepted him, agreed to marry him and SHE DIED! he even said, she knew less than a day and she died!

since then, Martha has said, maybe you didn't tell her because you didn't think she is the one.

Chloe said, she's proven she can be trusted.

Now tonight, Clark says, i didn't tell her because she couldn't handle it. and she'd be in danger.

OK, couldn't he say, i can't tell her CAUSE SHE DIED WHEN I TOLD HER BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's a pretty good reason NOT to tell someone something again.

granted, attempting to tell her to save her from Lex was ok.

Chloe, Martha and Clark all know Lana died and what was the outcome of rectifying that, so for all of them to say other things, that don't apply because he already told her is SO ANNOYING!

STOP IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this show, but such quality shouldn't be ruined by such innacuracies!

but thanks for the other parts of all the episodes that are great !

[Reign]

not an inaccuracy. clark had kept his secret from lana since the beginning of the show. before she died, it was true that he kept it from her because he was 1) protecting her 2) he was scared to tell her. the fact that she died was an additional reason, but the overall reason for him not telling her is because he felt he was protecting her. it is also consistent with why almost all superheroes have secret identities -- to keep their loved ones safe from harm

[hansioux]

The dialog of the show has been FALLING APART.

Where is the consistency?

I mean the actors are trying VERY HARD to pull it together through their acting.

But WRITERS, be it AlMiles or who ever, can't you figure things out and stick to it?

With all these flipflops of EVERY SINGLE SUPPORT CHARACTER, I feel like I was having intro to electronic circuit design flash back.

I love this episode. The plot direction, editing and the acting are so beautiful, but the word vomit of the support characters continue.

I mean isn't there a meeting before a script gets finalized? Can't they see what the fans are noticing?

[Reign]

I bet they do. They just have bad management and bad script editors. I'm glad you brought this up though... because I thought that the cellar scene when Clark was revealing himself could have been scripted far better than it was

[thmallville]

^^^^ True, but there really has been only a smidgen of continuity in this season.

[Honey45]

I really doubt they just write whatever they want without thinking about the show whatsoever.
That would get them fired.

People flip flop in real life. No one is ever perfectly consistant.

if my best friend or my mom for that matter tells me to get over it, then next day tells me that I am not trying hard enough, then the next day tells me what the heck are you doing? get over it!

I'd start kicking some serious a$$.

Chloe: Clark, going to the wedding will prove to Lana once and for all that you have moved on and it will also provide the emotional closure you need.

Clark: You make it sound so easy. I want to move on...

Chloe: Move on? What are you talking about? Clark, Lana needs you to step and be the hero here. Are you going to stop the woman you love from marrying that monster or what?

Clark: Ah, Chloe...you're not making sense here...

Chloe: Making sense? Not making sense is your endless obsession with Lana. Give it a rest, Clark.

Clark: Ah...good idea. I've got a lot of farm chores to take care of right now...

[superspeeds away]

Chloe: Clark! What about Lana...

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Consistency?

I think I would give them a little more credit than that. There has been some form of continuity in majority of the episodes this year. Some episodes had multiple accounts of continuity. This season has had far more continuity than any previous season.

[HornFan02]

He did kind of go back in time, so he's maybe speaking in terms of this reality, not the other reality where she died.

[Poyntz]

What about the continuity of Martha a few episodes back (I'm thinking it was crimson) telling Chark to leave leave Lana alone. And in this episode she was basically telling him to go for it. Make up your mind Martha!

Oh, I mean...Lana's not my hero Clark, you are! (Seriously, what the hell was the point of that line in her speech last night? Or in fact, any of the lines?)

[Peat Moss]

^^ This is true.

[Mr. Wrong]

What writers? They had to show every scene twice because they didn't have enough time in a month long hiatus to develop a 40 minute script. The producer should dock their pay on this one!

[Reign]

1. Have your parents never contradicted themselves?

2. Martha, as his mother, makes judgments as to what he needs to hear at any given time. In a previous episode, he had no good argument to continue to mull over Lana... in this episode, she was telling him his heart will never be at ease unless he addresses what is at issue

[hansioux]

consistency is very important to key lime pie.

[Peat Moss]

I wonder if the writers even know anything slightly long-term, like if Lana will die or Clark will become Superman. There seems to be no planning ahead...

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

ESPECIALLY LIKE THE ONE FOR NEXT WEEK
THE ONE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION
TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED..
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU WRITERS?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE US THE CLARK FIGHTS A NEW VILLAIN EPISODE EVERY OTHER WEEK??
WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN...
CONTINUE WITH WHAT HAS GOTTEN THE SHOW
POPULAR IN THE FIRST PLACE...THE LEX , LANA, AND CLARK STORY...

YOU RUINED IT ALREADY BY PUTTING LOUIS IN THE MIX....AND WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT THAT GAY GREEN ARROW..WHO BY THE WAY HAS ONE OF THE MOST SILLIEST COSTUMES..
I DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THESE DC CHARACTERS YOU ARE TRYING TO PUT INTO THE SHOW...HEY IT'S GOTTEN OLD..

STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL STORY LINE...
THE SECRET, THE LOVE OF CLARK AND LANA, AND LEX ALWAYS UP TO EVIL...

NOW THAT LANA KNOWS THE SECRET HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE IT?

[Hydra]

Hey dude, welcome to the boards. First one thing I have to say, and I don't mean to come off as bossy, but using CAPS LOCKS ALL THE TIME MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOUR SHOUTING, PLEASE TURN IT OFF.

Secondly in regards to your post, I agree Smallville has a bad habit of over doing it on the filler episodes, although I have to say I found Green Arrow and the Justice League to be one of the better parts of this season. Quite frankly I'm kind of tired of the whole Lana/Clark/Lex (otherwise known as Clana or Lexana here at Ksite), and I'd rather focus on the sci-fi Clark becoming Superman, and Lex becoming evil aspect of the show.

While I agree filler episodes with random freak of the week criminals doesn't help things, I also wouldn't care less if Lana's charectar were to die in the next episode.

Acutally it might improve the show for me. I'll have to think on that for a while...

[NEWPORT]

uh .. doesnt next weeks episode have to do with phantom zoners? the problem he has to take care of in order to start his training

its smallville not days of our lives

[Sk8erGur1]

Do you know how many people were disappointed with this episode? Just a much people that where estatic with the results.

In order to keep every fan, every shipper happy they must even it own with romance/action/angst/drama.

They probably knew how much backlash they would be getting from the character assinations in the episode so they give us Combat with is filled with action and t&a.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

sorry about the whole cap thing
I didn't know people were really
sensitive to that kind of thing.. (rolling eyes)

"They probably knew how much backlash they would be getting from the character assinations in the episode so they give us Combat with is filled with action and t&a."

I agree with that whole thing..
it's the concept of selling out to please people, that's what sucks.. Give the people what they want, half naked shots of LOIS and some million dollar special effects which I do agree are cool, but some are unnecessary at times...
I would've been happy if the writers wrote things that went against what "MOST" people want and what the true fans would like to see. Most of the episodes are just copies of formulas that a lot of the WB shows have beeen doing for a long time...

that's where smallville went downhill after the first 2 seasons

[TheSupaMan]

I can live with filler episodes but I don't really consider this a filler episode considering that it's been built up pratically the whole season. I consider a filler something like Trespass, and Labyrinth. And there isn't anything wrong with fillers as long as the story is good IMO.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

doesnt next weeks episode have to do with phantom zoners? the problem he has to take care of in order to start his training

its smallville not days of our lives



that whole phatom zone cr-p was an excuse for filler episodes....writers wrote in that whole story of clark letting out all these phantom zone characters, just so they could fill in the season amongst the real story...which is like a soap opera...the lex, clark and lana story...

so all I can say to the smallville writers,
I hope you guys are feeling good..
you guys are getting paid to write such garbage..
you write 2 or 3 great episodes a year and fill the rest in with crap..

examples of crap:
pete's encounter with drag racing (a straight bite off
of the fast and the furious)

that whole season where lana was a witch (come on)

and there are dozens of others.

[myankskent]

How is next week a filler episode when it continues the phantom zone storyline while probably continuing the storylines that were set up in Promise? Just because nothing Promise related was shown in the Combat trailer doesn't mean that Combat will be filler.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

well what usually happens
is that the trailer or episode has
nothing to do with the last
but in the last moments of the show
they bring it back all together..
so most of the whole episode is not
related towards the last, but the writers
are smart enough to fuse the continuing
story line together....i don't care about the phantom zone...clark bringing out all those creatures, except zod and two others, were never from the superman story

what I was tryin to say above is..
the show will be 95% crap and then 5% good

[Cyn]

95% crap and 5% good pretty much sums up Promise for me. I think I need some filler to banish this episode from my mind. Bring on the black leather clad Clark action.

[Drakaun]

I don't see how you can call Combat a filler episode. The escapes from the Phantom Zone have been an important part of this season, if anything it is the first Phantom Zoner we have seen since Labrynth, so they are actually advancing the plot they set in motion. Now a true filler episode, Subterranian. The only thing in that episode that gave any props to the main story line is the Lex walking down the 33.1 hallway to the sound of AFI's Prelude, all of about one minute I think, if even that much. The rest was about a bunch of immigrant workers being killed by a meteor freak. Clark making an attempt to actually secure a Phantom Zoner, is not filler in the least. At least that is my opinion.

Agreed the zoners are important.

[descendentskid]

The way I see it is... Yes there are a bunch of filler episodes in the history of Smallville... but what good is it telling the Superman story if he can't kick some ass once in a while?

[Honey45]

Every show has "filler" episodes ... There's no show on earth that has a ridiculously important and drastic episodes to the season every single week.
Sorry but it doesn't work like that.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

I've watched 3 seasons of Lost
and I don't believe I've ever encountered
a filler episode..

Now I'll always be a Smallville fan at heart, but LOST is a far superior show as far as writing, story, and directing is involved.

i meant...2 and a half seasons of LOST haha, they haven't finised the 3rd one yet

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

to each his own....
everyone has their own opinion

u were bored, and i was not bored...
that's that


what good is it telling the Superman story if he can't kick some ass once in a while?

I agree
with that..
It is a superhero story so clark should kick ass..

maybe I just don't like the people's asses he's kicking or the just the same scenario of meteorite freaks.
I mean, we've gone through 5 seasons of meteor infected freaks...


if you think about the whole GREEN ARROW thing..what did that accomplish? who ****in' cares?
all the chicks probably because they think he's cute..but c'mon....Clark building his little justice league...ehhhh.
just get on with the superman story and leave all this extra stuff...like lois lane outta it..

[Cyn]

Are you like five? Do you not know the Superman lore? Lois Lane IS half of the Superman story. Just because Smallville seems to focus mainly on Clana doesn't make it so. The Justice League is a big part of Superman as well. Again, just because Smallville focus's mainly on the **** that is Clana doesn't make it the be all and end all in the Superman verse.

I hope that Clark gets to finally move on. I would REALLY love to see him with Lois now. As for the Justice League... I'm a little iffy on that one. I definitely enjoyed the episode but I believe that Superman should be one of the founding members... and to have the JL come together before he even puts on the suit may be a little too much... I dunno.

Are you like four?
What Superman story are you reading, the one, the idiot writers are feeding us?

Lois Lane is a Clark's love, whom he meets when he's like in his late 20s or 30s.. Justice League comes way after that when he's a man..


Lana is from the original comic books..Lana was Clark's love when he was growing up. She's even in Superman 3 a movie from the 80s...Annette Otoole played the part of Lana..

Let's just focus on what Smallville should be about..
Young Clark Kent discovering his powers...and let's not introduce all that other stuff so early, that it clouds the original story..


If you are going to introduce characters then why do you have to introduce gay ones like Aquaman or Green Arrow? that whole cyborg, teen titan thing, man that was so stupid...

[Cyn]

No, I'm not four or five. I am an adult. I have seen or read nearly all the Superman incarnations. There have been many different versions of Superman, but in the end 99% of them end with Lois being his one true love.

Smallville is good, but it keeps itself limited because it just won't let the Clana die. I call it the Titanic Syndrome. The 12 & 13 year old girls just can't LET IT GO. Once Clana was important, but now, Lana weakens Clark. No matter how it makes us go awwww, a CLana moment is the same as seeing Clark exposed to kryptonite. I think I'll call Lana "Pink Kryptonite" from now on.<G>


Btw, I've noticed you keep mentioning gays. I can't keep thinking "thou dost protest too much"....<G>

[HnK]

SUPERMAN WILL DIE HAHAHA

[shuyin131]

let me just say this. Stargate SG-1's very last episode, after it's long running 10 seasons (one of THE longest running Sci-Fi series of all time) was a filler, non-canonical, time-travel episode.

Smallville is at the point where we are seeing more of

-Freak of the Week
-Soap Opera

and less about the Superman lore which is why we watch Smallville in the first place. At this point they are just making up drama as they see fit, almost like how 1 dev and 1 alone screwed up City of Heroes beyond redemption, just because, he wanted to see it his way.

In fact, the whole Lana and Lex thing was the show creator's idea, because he always wanted to see Lana and Lex together in a storyline, but couldn't because she was too young. Well bravo, thanks for taking Lana from one of the most loveable characters, to one of the most hated. She's supposed to be done w/ the show at Season 7, so they had better make her exit, a grand one.

[Peat Moss]

Trouble is, we don't have any more powers to introduce...now THOSE, no one could call fillers.

why should we let it go or anyone that has been watching smallville since the beginning? Where do you get your study from that only 12 and 13 year olds still hold on to the Clark and Lana thing?
That's a bold statement not to mention a ridiculous one.
For some of us, the whole reason why we started
watching the show was because it was about superman and the love story which revolved around him. How can we just let it go, when 5 of the 6 seasons is primarily about the Clark and Lana story? Of course they have their break ups here and there but the writers have always managed to fuse the two back together. If something has been done for a long time, it's kind of hard to change things up.

Unnecessary new characters just to impress us, unnecessary special effects, half naked shots of lois does not make a great show...A great story line which is consistent makes a great show.



When did you start watching Smallville? I'm curious.

[Iolanthe]

Man, you guys are harsh!

It can't' be easy being a Smallville writer! Yeah, I'm sort of tired of the Clana too, but that's what the show's been about since the beginning. Clark wants Lana, she's with someone else, or can't be with him because of his "secrets and lies". Now, finally, we might be making some progress on that front.

Lana finally knows his secret, finally understands that he was trying to protect her. Now it's an interesting reversal - she wants to be with him but she's the one with the secrets and lies preventing her.

So cut the writers a little slack - they're trying to make the show go for 22 episodes a season. Of course they have to put obstacles in the characters' ways - that's what makes drama.

[Kii]

I'm not sure if this has been touched on, or not. But the show seems to lack any kind of oversight on the writers. Like it was mentioned earlier, Chloe did a complete 180 on the Clark and Lana subject and so did Martha. There was another continuity issue with Chloe, and the hole that Clark burned into her shoulder.

AlMiles really need to start putting their writers feet to the fire.

[BrokenHero]

Good drama comes from obstacles, as others have said. Real people are complicated. They change their minds...they lie. This is not to say there aren't inconsistencies, but they are very hard to prove. It can be frustrating not knowing what a character's intentions are, but Chloe's and Martha's fluctuations in sentiment and advice are explainable. As someone has said already, Martha is just telling Clark what she thinks he needs to hear. The wedding day of his long time love was affecting him, and she saw it. Chloe finally decided that Lana is clueless about Lex after he had her kidnapped in Freak. Things can all make sense if you don't purposely try to poke holes in them. It's not a courtroom.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

Chloe did a complete 180 on the Clark and Lana subject and so did Martha.

agreed whole heartedly.

Do writers fail to think we won't pick up on stuff like that?

There have been many times on the show when characters just do or say things they wouldn't normally do or say...I guess it's just that easy to do for the writers.

if they are getting paid the big bucks, then produce quality and not quantity (aka poop)

Or maybe what they think is quality is just CACA..
that's probably the case

IMO they are doing a good job. I think the episodes are good. If they were producing "Poop" quality episodes I would quit watching, because that would be the logical thing to do. You know, all of this is just opinion. I mean, Promise was a well direct and well written episode. The very different way they shot the episode was awesome. They most definitely pulled it off. Ok, yeah, some people hate Clana and Clana happened. I understand that people are going to dislike the episode. But, that doesn't mean it's crappy writing. Just because a certain group of people didn't get what they want does not mean the episode is crap.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

hey 98, I loved PROMISE and the whole CLANA thing..go back and read the other posts...

the CACA I'm talking about is all of the episodes that don't need to be in the story, ZONERS, LOUIS LANE, METEOR FREAKS, GREEN ARROW, AQUAMAN..

it is about opinion.. if the producers are puttin out poop and people are like them,,,I guess people like to watch poop.

[98chase]

Oh, I know. That's why I didn't say "you." I used "people" instead :) I wasn't trying to step on your toes or anything. I'm glad you are joining us in watching poop quality episodes :)

As much as I love this show & will remain loyal to it , I must admit that the planning ahead seems to be lacking. This series seems to be based more on the Christopher Reeve movies than most of the comic books, which is okay if they stay consistent with what they're doing. Some examples: Jonathan dying when Clark was a teenager as in "Superman", & that Season 5 was basically an extended, slightly-altered version of "Superman 2" (watch "Superman 2" to determine if you can see what I mean-- basically General Zod & the 2 others being there, along with Clark giving up his powers & having premarital relations [Lois in the movie; Lana on the show], & then getting the powers back). That said, I could see Clark going to complete his training with Jor-El in the season finale, & season 7 taking place 12 years in the future (that's how much time passed with the training on the "Superman" movie). I rather doubt it will go this way, but it would fit, & considering season 7 is Michael Rosenbaum's last, this would be a good way to end the show with him being Superman.

He technically doesn't have the ability to fly yet. He can take a leap from Kansas to South America by leaping into orbit, & definitely leap tall buildings in a single bound, but they'll make a bigger deal when he actually has flight. I'm not satisfied with his super breath yet, either, because he still doesn't freeze things.

[Mr. Wrong]

Virtually every scene and every character was flawed in this epi.IMHO. Although this season has been well written to this point, they definitely dropped the ball badly with Promise IMO.

[vouge09]

ha ha I went with the fanfic one although if they were doing that I guarentee that the episodes would prob be a lot better as most fan fics are liek a million times better than this show.

[Shadow116]

I''d give anything to join the writing staff and try and fix S7 :lol:

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

I'd give anything to join the writing staff and fix seasons 4-6

[98chase]

See, that wouldn't work. Your idea of "fix" could be screwing it up for everyone else. You could make the show to your liking, but piss off the audience. Thus, you would be TPTB that everyone is complaining about now. No matter what TPTB do, regardless of who TPTB consist of, there are always going to be raging, angry fans.

[I HATE GREEN ARROW]

any one that chooses to do a show just to please others, and make money...is called a sell out
