A Dork(ification)’s Episode Review - Smallville: 'Pilot'

Since I've been reviewing all the comic-based shows this year, I figured I may as well include the one that started them all. I've caught a few episodes here and there, but since this show isn't available to stream I'll be doing these reviews whenever I can get my hands on them between the mail and the nearest actual video store. 

These reviews will also be more in-depth than my First Impressions reviews.
Spoilers after the jump.

You've been warned...

Quick thoughts on CW's Arrow...

I'm not sure where they're going with this.

I understand where they're coming from though, they're sticking with what worked with Smallville...which was a lot.

So they took the Green out...and gave Deadshot a face...and made it "Starling City"...

My big question is this:

Does this series take place in the same universe as Smallville?

Because it should.
