I have had many great ideas about Smallville in the last year to set up
fun stuff, and basically there's no chance of any writer being anywhere
near me or any of us.

That's what sucks. I think that the writers are too held back. The
s...ty thing is that they could still work around that and the do not.

There's always fan fiction.

It's the writer's own fault for being so held back. They should've
never introduced cannon characters like Lois, Jimmy, etc. They
should've had Clark, Lex, and Clark's parents and made all the rest of
the characters totally original (like Chloe and Lionel). Then they'd
have a lot more freedom to do as they pleased.

The more I watch this show though, the less convinced I am that the
writers are actually held back. Lex is a good guy, Clark has done many
bad things, Green Arrow is a criminal, etc. Personally, I think the
writers are lazy. It's just so easy for them to have a random
superpowered mutant wander into town with no motive another than
eventually being obsessed with killing Clark or Lana. Clark throws bad
guy through wall. The End. That's an easy formula that they repeat week
after week.

Try fanfiction.net and kryptonsite.com (among others) for your
Smallville fan fiction needs, whether you are a writer or a reader.

I've read great stories that really satisfy my desire for more than
what the show offers.

Some of the examples:
a) after ~18 years of searching, some aliens finally find the last
surviving Kryptonian...on Earth. Chloe learns that Clark is capable of
more than just catching cars and running fast when she witnesses him
fighting some of the best alien gladiators in the universe in order to
save her and Lana.

b) Clark realizes there may be more for his future than he thought, and
in order to understand human suffering better, Clark wanders the world
and tries to learn and experience. The only way Chloe tracks him from
her job at the Daily Planet is when some apparent miracle or rescue
happens at some place on earth. She can only wonder if that is where
Clark is...

c) Lex kidnaps Superman's son at a young age and raises him in the way
of a Luthor. What will happen to the world when Superman's own son
kills him? Only a mother's love may be able to turn this cold heart.
The problem is, Clark's wife has been dead for many years, from an
accident caused by the young son who at the time, couldn't control his
powers enough to help her. He suffers great guilt because of it...

And speaking of "canon", what will this series do for it? At the end of
this season there will be 132 episodes of about 40 minutes each and that
equals approx. 44 full length feature films. Outside of the comics we've had
5 supe films, The Adventures of Superman and Lois and Clark. For the
younger people, Smallville may become "canon" along with SR and anything
else that will be made. That's scary.
