Smallville - Land of the Mutants, Home of the Stupid?

[disbelief11]

Nothing particularly spoilery...

I had a thought last night while I was watching Dichotic - why aren't parents pulling their families out of the town and moving somewhere else? Think about it - if your children were continually stalked, beaten, and generally preyed upon by a bunch of mutant freaks wouldn't your first thought be "Oh dear God, get me the hell out of this horrible town right away before my poor kids are killed or end up with serious physical and emotional scars!"? Apparently, the writers think they have addressed the situation adequately with just a "How are Lana and Chloe? Oh, just shaken up a bit? Well, they'll get over it."

Must be the effects of the meteor rocks in the town's water supply, eh? No one ever thinks of leaving except for whiny-ass teenagers, freaky mutants, and Nell. But there I go again, expecting the show to make sense. What the hell am I thinking?

A note to the writers: try not to be so sloppy with your scripts. The plot-holes are approaching a magnitude heretofore unbeknownst to man. And while you're at it, do something about Clark. This whole jealous/whiny/bitchy Clark characterization you've been shoving down our throats is making me choke. And not in a good way.

For the same reason no one leaves Sunnydale on "buffy": Denial is just a river in Egypt.

Damn You!
I read Dis's post and had this whole big [thing] Sunnydale joke lined up.
I saw that there was one comment and was all, "Meh. What are the odds that it's someone who'd ref Buffy and the 'Dale?"

*hmph*

Hehehe. So...yeah. What he said.

Dude, this just further concurs that we share a brain. That we are of the same...thing.

You tell 'em, Dis! Chew 'em up and spit 'em out, baby!

Maybe the local psychologist has brainwashed them all so that in a few years all his new clients will start rolling in and soon he will be able to buy that small island he's been dreaming about...
