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

Birthday week deluxe!

Tomorrow it's Michael Shanks', of Stargate SG-1 fame. Only on TV could archaeologists look that good. And woo-hoo, he's gonna play Hawkman on Smallville in February!

I don't have wallpapers for them, but Michael shares his birthday with Adam Brody, Don Johnson, Geoff Stults, Stuart Townsend, and Garrett Wang. Not a bad day to be born, apparently.

Wait 'till you get a load of Friday.
