  1. Where's Niners?  Did they ascend to Heaven upon finally viewing?

     

    ETA: People always think of 4:3 as being cropped somehow, but if you shoot something full gate it is... 4:3. (Unless using anamorphic lenses). Check out the Fullscreen vs Widescreen versions of The Blues Brothers for the best example.

  2. I'm really digging S&L now.  I like how they subverted the Smallville freak-of-the-week expectations by it never really getting past the "kid in trouble" stage.

     

    It's more subplots and characterization than action, and I appreciate that nowadays.

    Just curious, is it that you find it corny minus all the reboot grittiness?

    It's regressive in that it's leaning away from the comic book goofiness that has slowly been making its way into adaptations as they (Berlanti especially) get more comfortable ensconced.  Stargirl had 5 characters in outfits straight from the comics fighting almost Batman '66 level villains. The rest of the CW shows did Crisis last year, and now we have Superman on a farm running around at the military's beck and call.

    The third episode was much better, but still had the weird scene where Clark implied he was in 9th grade 20 years ago, which would mean that he and Lois met, got married, and had kids by the time he was 19.

  4. Zi-O isn't really made to be liked.  It's an anniversary thing and the best part is the producer telling people to go fuck themselves and making the big bad literally "Another Decade" after everyone complained it "would just be another Decade, boring."
