I like re-watching Smallville this way. The way it usually goes is I blaze through the first 6 seasons but am very engaged. Then I’m a little exhausted through 7 and 8 so I start multitasking more and sort of tune out a little bit.
By the time I get to 9 and 10 I’m periodically leaving the room, making phone calls or just quitting an episode if it’s close to bedtime.
There’s this whole Checkmate plot I barely remember. Lana gets powers for some reason, less Martha and no Johnathan…I hate to say it, but Zod and Tess just really didn’t do much for me. Lois is what kept me coming back–I’m curious how I’ll feel this time with a slower pace.
That’s actually a really great description of the later seasons lol I too tossed my mental health to the curb and stayed up till 2 am watching as many episodes as possible before I lost my Hulu subscription. Then I bought box set and still couldn’t control myself watching one episode a week is how the show was intended to be enjoyed. Preferably with a break between seasons but let’s be real, ain’t nobody got time for that!
Where to watch: Smallville is available for streaming on Hulu or by digital download on iTunes/YouTube/Google Play/Vudu/Amazon Prime, or DVD and Blu-ray.

A Wrinkle In Time
If you get lost in the timestream you can calculate where the audience is by checking the minute.
For example, it it’s XX:15pm then we are 15 minutes into the episode.
I felt unsafe until I started wearing a helmet. And ya know, hanging out in Alicia’s lead room might protect you against kryptonite as well so she probably is the key to safety!
