Smallville Season Six DVD Rating:

I love Smallville because the actors and actresses are NORMAL. I know a lot of people who look up to people like... uuuhhhh... Lindsay Lohan. I used to like her, but now she's not even being herself. That's why Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk are my role models/favorite actor and actress. YIPPEE!
