I think this is hiatus fever. Or I'm hoping it is, and that people aren't really going to stay in this kind of mood once the new season starts up in September. I mean, there are always going to be details that irk us in stories. Clark's eye color will never suit everyone and apparently neither will the furniture at the castle or whether or not it is a castle.
I really can't help but get annoyed by these kinds of comments. If I take the time to write a story that's good in characterization and to share it with the fandom at large, and the story itself works, then why on earth would someone pick it apart based on the scenery and props? It's just...frustrating. And luckily, Smallville has a huge fan base right now and someone is always submitting, or I think this kind of attitude would cause a resounding silence by way of story submissions.
Either that, or the good writers would just shrug and smirk and write their lube-in-the-wooden-desk-drawer-for-the-fuck-in-the-leather-chair stories and let you delete at will while the rest of us were happy campers.
Gah, and as for watching a different show that you're missing out on...the Smallville that I watch doesn't have Clark and Lex as lovers, but as a writer of slash, I take a few liberties with what I actually see on air.
Of course this entire point is moot if we are now considering props as canon.
