Ah, Smallville, how we will miss thee

So last week was the series finale of Smallville. I was kind of disappointed. The whole Darkseid storyline wrap up felt very deus-ex-machina. And couldn't they have given a closeup of Welling, head to toe, in the Superman duds? Yet I was still crying at the end, 'cause I'm a big old sap, and it was neat to finally see him become Superman.

I wonder if there'll ever be another show with such shameless exploitation of such a variety of hot guys? Maybe 90210, if it lasts longer. It's amazing that Smallville wasn't a Spelling show, since Charmed was neck-and-neck in that department.

The cast has inspired many a wallpaper here. In fact, the launch of this blog (two years ago yesterday) was of one of them. So I thought I'd do an homage. Also fear not, I'll be doing more wallpapers in the future of guys from the show, since it's a goldmine (no, not that kind) that's far from being exhausted. Thank you, WB/CW, for keeping it on for 10 years. Yep, the stories got crappier as the series continued, but the guys, oh, the guys...

So here are a few, in alphabetical order:

Jensen Ackles (Jason Teague)


Chris Carmack (Geoff Johns)


Justin Hartley (Green Arrow)


James Marsters (Brainiac)


Jesse Metcalfe (Van McNulty)


Cory Monteith (Frat Cowboy)


Alan Ritchson (Aquaman)


Kyle Schmid (Sebastian Kane)


Michael Shanks (Hawkman)


Ian Somerhalder (Adam Knight)


Tom Welling (Clark Kent)


Paul Wesley (Lucas Luthor)


Kevin Zegers (Seth Nelson)

WoW - Wallpaper of the Week - extra

Kevin Zegers


Jeremy Jordan

A double shot of pretty to end the week. Or begin it, depending on how you look at it.

First is Kevin Zegers, who's 26 today. He's been all over the place, including guest spots on Smallville and House. His breakout role was probably in the movie Transamerica. Next up for him is one of the leads in The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. With a cast like this, it looks to be in the vein of Young Guns and Mobsters. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. See more of Kevin here.

Jeremy Jordan. Remember him? No, not that one. The former teen idol who now is 37. Seems to have gone off the map after Never Been Kissed in '99. But he's put out some new music recently, so maybe we'll see more of him again. Which would not make me unhappy one bit. Feast your eyes on Jeremy here and here.
