See, but with Smallville, the characters that I either love or that intrigue me to no end? Tend to stick around. For years at the very least.

Heroes? The list of ones they've wasted and/or dropped keeps getting longer... and for the most part the characterization issues make me hate the characters still around that I used to love. Kristen Bell was basically what has kept me watching most episodes this year. I'm so lost in the mythology that I don't know which way is up or what from the previous seasons we're supposed to take as fact now.
