Think Clark working at a Smallville newspaper would've a better post high school plan for him?


L&C pilot mentioned something like that, he was doing nothing but farm work for seven seasons.

Agree. I'm sad they didn't think about that stuff a little better. Even having Lois just fall into reporting was a little weird for me. He spend all his time investigating the meteor things and working with the high school paper it would have been an easy transition. But then again, it's a TV and I guess that wouldn't be dramatic enough

A TV format would demand that all the characters stay in the same places doing the same thing for years.

4 years of college in a new city would have freshened it up a bit. No one graduates in 4 episodes.

Think the only reason that didn't happen because the writers felt that the format of the show demands that Clark stay in the same place doing the same things for seven seasons.
