Smallville Is a Cock Tease
By “cock,” of course, I mean “flying and tights,” two things the show has refused to feature except for the many times it featured them though some loophole (Clark becoming “Kal-El” and flying around springs to mind). Now that it’s entering its tenth and final season, this trailer indicates that Smallville is going to see how much tights and flying it can pack in without clearly showing tights and flying until the last shot of the last episode. Which is fine, I guess — it’s hard to muster up any kind of strong emotion about Smallville at this point, for or against. Thanks to Cecil for the tip.
