solitary_summerOh dear. So I'm watching videos from Dragon Con on YouTube, and, quote, Michael Rosenbaum on the subject of the actors apparently not being told anything on Smallville:
'There's this giant through line, throughout seven years, for the show. And they go, okay so this is what's gonna happen. Lex will become bad. But right now he's not. Ookaay. So, I mean when I just killed this guy, did I mean to do it? Do I feel bad? - Ah, just, you're doing great, just keep doing it. Whatever you're doing, just keep doing that.'
This explains so, SO much.
And here I was trying and trying to make sense of that show and its characterisation for years before I stopped watching around S5ish, if I remember correctly. ::facepalm::
[ETA: Interesting, and IMO spot on comment from James Marsters about Lex's arc being the only element with genuine gravitas among the monsters and general fluffiness of SV.]
