Though the CW doesn't have much luck getting the brightest and best. They're stuck with the dullest and the worst. Which is why we keep suffering with the train wreck that is Felicity. You are right there. I don't understand why there was such a drop between 'Smallville' and the 'Arrowverse' shows and an even bigger one in quality when you go back to 'Buffy' and 'Angel' which I heard were on the WB which become the CW Network and 'Smallville' had a lot of actors and actresses that went on to play bigger roles in other popular TV shows and some that are headlining movies now like Amy Adams and Evangeline Lilly who Beccy and I just watched last night in 'Ant Man and the Wasp.' The 'Arrowverse' doesn't get nearly as many actors as 'Smallville' got and it seemed they had better writers writing the episodes of 'Smallville' sometimes too. Did you know one of the main writers of 'Smallville' wrote 'Spider-Man 2?'  The thing about future stars cropping up on shows early into their stardom is that you don't know at the time who they're going to turn out to be; so given that the shows are still going, and even with Arrow being 7 years on still be relatively young in years when all is said and done, we might still be too close to objectively see what or who might come out of any of these shows as the next Amy Adams. I only just noticed in a very recent rewatch of Angel that Jeffery Dean Morgan appeared on Angel, in what could probably be described as essentially a bit role. I've never actually seen The Walking Dead or anything else he might have been in, but he's ubiquitous enough now that his name stuck out when I saw it in the guest star credits; and I recognized him immediately, in spite of him being 15 years younger. It's still strange seeing Amy Adams on Buffy, especially since it doesn't quite look like her, she's so young in that episode.
