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. No. We don't and we don't even know how big their roles are going to be and I mentioned Evangeline Lilly and she had a very small role in 'Smallville' and it was kinda a blink and you will miss it role and then Ben Affleck was in the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' movie and I didn't find that out until years later when he had become famous and magazines were saying about actors starting off in small roles and it is like Charlize Theron in 'Children of the Corn 3' which while we are talking about 'Buffy' also had Nicholas Brendon when he was younger. We recently re-watched the episode of 'Angel' with Jeffrey Dean Morgan in it and I completely forgot he appeared in 'Angel' and Josh Holloway was in the first episode and was barely recognisable especially with the vampire makeup. I re-watched the episode of 'Buffy' with Amy Adams in it too and I remember her in 'Cruel Intentions 2' earlier in her career and that was awful compared to the first and funny enough another one of the actresses in that movie played Eve on 'Angel.'
This is a little off topic but I am re-watching Season 4 of 'Angel' now and I am kinda confused over how long Cordelia was being possessed by Jasmine 'cause there were moments where she appeared to really be Cordelia and I am not up to the episode yet but I recall she had the dream of the Beast before he came and did Jasmine switch back and forth in control of Cordelia's body without Cordelia knowing before taking over completely?
