SMALLVILLE...

The writers, over the course of 10 years, wrote Clark very well. Their only "fuck ups" have been retaining his childish reclusive behaviour which caused him to come off as a whiney brat... unfortunately, that was the point of the show, so their hands were pretty much tied by that, though once the writers became the producers, they did take steps to actually make him a hero, which helped alot along the way, and made the last few seasons not only bearable, but arguably better than the rest of the entire series.

Going forward from where the show ended, what's to stop all of Clark's Smallville acquaintances from seeing the news and saying, "Hey! That guy went to Smallville high!" He didn't wear the damn glasses until a month ago. I guess they just hoped 2 weeks of wearing glasses and acting clumsy would erase all knowledge of his identity.

What about the other half? What about all those years Clark went to Smallville Community college?.. and Pete Ross would like a few words with you.

Uhh... just because you go to HS with someone doesn't mean you know them, or could even pick them out of a line up.

If you live in a town with a population of 2,500, I think you could.

Which is ridiculous anyway. I lived in a town with slightly less than 2,500 people, and we pooled students from THREE towns, AND put Middle School and High School in the same building, and STILL didn't have anywhere NEAR the apparent enrollment of Smallville High. That place was HUGE. And bustling with people. Heck, we couldn't have fielded a Football team if we tried- not enough people.

The meteor rock clearly had an effect on fertility and birth rates then

Smallville on Smallville had over 45,000 people in the town.

Yeah, nice misrepresentation of the screen cap. How about you get one from the post-meteor shower welcome sign.

Here, I'll do it for you:

As for the football thing. I wouldn't be able to recognize any of the QBs that played while I was in HS. Truth be told. The only people who would really have a chance to recognize him (that weren't meteor freaks and thus considered crazy to some degree) would be his friends... and they all either know his secret or are dead anyway. So, yeah.

And there is something to be said for failure to recognize somebody out of context. I'll probably never have any occasion to test this, but I suspect that if I walked in to my local comic shop, and saw my own mother dressed as a Green Lantern, I think it would take a while at least before I realized it was her, and even then I'd be like, "Is that my mom? That can't be my mom, can it?"

Obviously I am VERY familiar with what my mom looks like, but I also would NEVER expect to see her dressed as Green Lantern, and would never expect to see her in my comic shop when I live in Oregon, and she lives in Arkansas. If she were wearing a mask and didn't announce herself to me, and made even a rudimentary attempt to disguise her speech, there is NO WAY I'd ever guess it was her. Without a mask, I'd still be slow to realize.
