Is that dude ever going to finally turn into Superman? 9 years and we still haven't seen him wearing the red cape!

Why on earth did you quote the entire beginning of the thread?

And, I think Nielson crap is stupid and Biased. I DON'T have a box at home, and pretty sure not many of you do, either.

In fact, I don't know any body else who has it!

Someone as passionate as you are about this show should watch it on TV, Live. You may think it is stupid and biased, but it shows your ignorance. They need ratings to continue on. A prime example of a failure waiting to happen was TSCC. Neilson boxes are not how they collect data. Most people in the US do not use over-the-air transmissions anymore, so they can collect data from cable/satellite/etc. Now that we are on digital broadcasting, they can easily collect that information as well. The ratings are pretty accurate.

It was sent to death on Fridays. Do you not see what is happening? If you want this show to continue on, support it by watching it live. Throwing tantrums on this forum and using the SHIFT key with exclamat!on marks and bold isn't going bring in any revenue for the show.

Well, Anyone who solely cares about what ratings a show gets, regardless of the MERIT of the show itself is a MORON, is what I think.

And, I think the general consensus is that this Season Premiere is Awesome, with little to No negative reviews from fans! If it continues to be good, and ratings continue to be low, I certainly give a BIG Middle finger to Nielson ratings!

No offense, Rappy, but I just DON'T give a damn about Ratings, I really CAN'T trust it when (like I said) Reality shows, American Idol, Craps on CBS gets the Highest ratings!

Correct Antaris. I have high hopes for this season, but they tend to have some episodes here and there that don't continue from the previous episodes, which feel added on. As long as they keep the story entertaining and original, I don't see why they won't have a tenth season.

Jedi: You need to think a little deeper than this. When your company is paying for a show, and your return isn't as high as you would hope, you tend to cancel it, especially right now. It does not matter the quality of the show. Family Guy getting canned by Fox years ago is a prime example of this.

Ratings matter and you need to come to terms with that.

Jedi, the ratings really are not meant for US the viewers, they are not a review of the content of the show,

they are a means of measurement so shows know how much their advertising time is worth, and thus dictate how much revenue sale of that time is worth, if it is not making enough money to be profitable

It gets canceled

They kinda drifted over parts of the story. For the soldiers, I think the Orb has transported them from the past, or had them preserved inside them, but when they were younger. The reason why I think it is likely to be the latter is because Zod is not currently a General, only a Major, so they must have been copied from an earlier part of Krypton's past. Not sure why they don't have their yellow-sun abilities, but they must gain them at some point, as that lady who follows Lois from the future is one from Zod's army, and has her abilities when she comes back.

Wasn't sure if Clark actually flew either, all you saw was him jump off the Statue of Liberty and then it cut to another scene!?

Ah good, so i wasn't the only one thinking that they hadn't explained the soldiers/Zod thing.

Oh and i totally agree with Radish about Erica Durance. Just wish she wasn't so annoying sometimes :pinch:

Lois has always been annoying, in the movies and L&C. She was hot in that too, I know, different women but still hot. She's always getting in trouble and is poking her nose in stuff.

I wish they would sort out the mistakes and just out of the blue moments. Clark leaving his burnt symbol for Lois at the cage fight scene, I mean that is just stupid when he is suppose to take the bad girl away. Hold on a second while I leave this symbol then we can have a fight. It doesn't make sense at all and makes me roll my eyes at awful writing and direction. The show could be a lot better without obvious misdirection. Enough of the person gets knocked out, doesn't see it moments and the if you asked the right question or thought about it for two seconds moments you might get it Clark, Chloe, Lois etc. Terrible storytelling.

What type of info are you looking for? I mean, they have 22-ish episodes left and maybe another season. They got plenty of time I don't see the Rush.

No, not bad at all! Quality is MUCH MUCH MUCH better!!! Acting, directing, Music, mood is much better. You can tell from message boards response that it's not crap like last year's stuff.

They (CW, producers) are desperately trying to gain back fans, and I think it's Awesome enough to justify people renew their interest with this show.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
