I first started watching toward the end of the third season, so I'm 
fairly new to the show as well.  It's like a drug, isn't it?  You know 
you shouldn't, but you just can't help it.  Lemme tell you, though, I'm 
not even a slasher, and I'm *still* indescribably disgusted with the 
direction the show has taken in the new season -- and there have only 
been two episodes so far!  That photograph prison thingy was just 
beyond pale, IMO.  And the great t00by sex scene . . . *cringes*  But I 
shall probably continue to watch.  I need my fix.

Hee.  So true.  Not that I'm really part of the fandom, but there is 
definitely an element of self-loathing involved in watching Smallville.

Also . . . he's just a strangely compelling actor.  Even my boyfriend 
likes him, which never happens.  I've never seen the notorious 
"Sorority Boys", but I think I may rent it just because I'm interested 
to know if Rosenbaum's as brilliant in other roles as he is as Lex.
