I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map, And knew that somehow I could find my way back; Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too - So I stayed in the darkness with you

So for some reason my DVR hasn't been recording Smallville and the CW doesn't have epidsode available online. Does anyone know a reliable safe site that has TV shows for viewing? I don't want to fill our a survey or sign up I just want to watch the last two episodes :bang:.

Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/194.html" target="_blank SurfTheChannel is a pretty awesome source site. They link to episodes/movies on other free sites. No surveys or signing up required. It's a pretty awesome site.

And Hulu seems to have episode 10, but no other full ones. http://www.hulu.com/videos/search?query=smallville" target="_blank Hulu is high quality, and legal (if you're worried about that). The one downside (the only one!) is that they have very short ad breaks. It's completely worth it, in my opinion though. Three 20 second (if that) ads for half an hour of high quality, recent stuff? Awesome.

Both are free without any signing up or anything, like I said already. :D

Dawn, I've used SurftheChannel in the past though I find the loading times at the sites you get sent to are horrible. Sometimes the video never loads...but then other times it loads quickly. What kind of loading times do you get for the various sites (toudou, youku, 56.com)?

The only problems I've had with loading was a site that was blocking US users because of copyright fears...

I've never had a video not load and there's only been a handful of times where I had to actually pause whatever I was watching to allow more to load (I believe it was Toudou...I can't remember any problems with MegaVideo), and I've watched hundreds of things via the site.

Maybe it's this ancient computer I'm on. I've always had to pause and wait at least 30 minutes before a 20 min video had loaded.

Megavideo sucks now. They have a 72 minute watching limit then you have to wait at least an hour to watch more. I was trying to watch a movie on there, got the 72 minute message, but after the wait time was up, it didn't just resume the movie so I had to reload it. I fast forwarded the 72 minutes and 15 minutes later it told me I'd watched 72 minutes again! STC has been rife with people complaining about megavideo.

Ah, that does suck. I've never encountered it, which is interesting. :scratch:

I try my luck at Sidereel.com and also the livejournal community ysi_leftovers in case anyone's uploaded recent tv episodes.

*mourns megavideo, one of the last sites that seemed to work smoothly and was easy to figure out* :P

Toudou and youku drive me nuts, for what it's worth.
