I have this really embarrassing thing that keeps happening because I've been telling my wife how great Smallville is, or rather, how great certain episodes are. And it seems like every time we catch a rerun on the weekends it's absolutely the worst Smallville ever.
I grabbed on about halfway through season 1 and, like you, started to grow disappointed by the end of season 2 and for the same reasons. I loved the slow collision and the set-ups and good old-fashioned "plants and pointers". But it didn't really live up to its potential. There was a time when I was really gripped to that series and unironically couldn't wait to see what happened next (and, more to the point, what happened next to Lex Luthor). Now it's pretty much unwatchable.
