Smallville

[Tornado]

So after re-watching the entirety of Season 6, I have to re-evaluate my season rankings:

1. 5
2. 6
3. 3
4. 4
5. 2
6. 1 (I don't "dislike" this season, I just like it the least amount)

I also took a stab at a top 25 episodes of all-time:

25. Exodus
24. Reckoning
23. Oracle
22. Crusade
21. Duplicity
20. Arrow
19. Insurgence
18. Covenant
17. Vengeance
16. Blank
15. Exile
14. Run
13. Shattered
12. Vortex
11. Arrival
10. Zod
9. Commencement
8. Nemesis
7. Vessel
6. Justice
5. Bizarro
4. Memoria
3. Hidden
2. Pilot
1. Rosetta

That was harder than it looks, trust me.

So you really hated Season 6, yet it's your second favourite season?

So Supergirl is going to teach Clark how to fly.

Interesting...

[WuTical]

So Supergirl is going to teach Clark how to fly.

Interesting...

they never said that lol

[sshuttari]

they never said that lol

I know they didn't but that's what I think is going to happen.

I mean come on he talks to her and she's going to say yeah I can fly you want me to teach you.

If they completely ignored that idea then it would be just stupid.

[WuTical]

What I don't understand is that Jor-El says he knew nothing about Kara having to come to earth but yet Clark's 1st mission is to take care of her lol

[Dan's_Gurl]

yeah i'm sure kara will teach him how to fly. it's about damn time, too.

[Dan's_Gurl]

and the boys get to drool again. http://www.kryptonsite.com/fiercepromo2-6.htm

ya know, the girls would like some barely clothed guys over here!

[Alien]

Clark can't go season with out fogeting his shirt once or twice..

[Darth Maul]

Is it me or does supergirl look a little weird, maybe its her cheek bones. Her face looks like the shape of a diamond. But she looks good. :P

[MasterChief117]

Wait i'm confused because reading the Back of Smallville, dunno which one it is it should look alike people from Justice League saying that they were gonna make an elite group?WTF is going on.

[Tornado]

I'll be honest with you guys; even though we're only three episodes in, I'm going to be surprised if this season doesn't end as the best of the series yet.

[Ramplate]

it is interesting to see what has happened since the last time I really watched it (season 1), but I still find some of the lines a wee bit corny and some of the characterizations a bit too stiff - and I wasn't too fond of that mid air kick Kara gave the second villain - too much like a wire suspension flip than a free floating kick.

It is an entertaining show though

[Darth Maul]

alright episode tonight, i was just a little mad about the whole im here to stop u! BAM KRYPTONITE! kara saves the day! but what ever heheh. Its all good.

[moonlightpictures]

I'm a HUGE fan of Smallville. I love the show, the characters, the unique take on the mythology. I loved it so much that I went as far to buy the first four seasons and re-edit them into a two hour movie.

But despite my love for the show, I think it should have ended at season 5. I was watching last nights episode and I couldn't help myself from laughing at the unrealistic characteristics of Kara...and the fact the character is even in the show kills me just because of the reference in season 3 finale.

To me, it seems the writers are desperately trying to find new material for the show, but its only dulling my interests and the overall experience. The two strongest seasons were the first two and the third one was great; dark and filled with great cameos. The fourth one was kinda weird to me, although the finale was pretty awesome and the fifth season to me could have been better but it had a closing, and a seemingly of acceptance of destiny. I think it should have ended around season 5 or six at the latest...

I will continue watching the show, just to see where things go. I have a feeling the Kara character will be a predictable evildoer who doesn't know she's apart of that plan...and I don't know if anyone knows yet, but Brainac is supposedly to make an appearance again.

Anyways, I thought I'd blabber.

[Movie Nerd]

Dont know if I like the Kara character yet, but I have to admit she is SMOKING.

Ive enjoyed the season so far and it can only get better with Dean Cain, Helen Slater, and James Marsden making appearamces.

[Tornado]

I missed tonight's episode. I had to work, and my VCR quit five minutes into taping. Anybody know where I can watch it (outside of the CW Official Site, I can never get the player to load there)?

[Tolkien]

Try going to google and typing TV Links in. Or Bittorrent, like everyone keeps suggesting. lmao. I just really hate bittorrent though.

[Ramplate]

Don't you gals get enough of Bare Chested Clark on Smallville? :P

that's not fair - we ought to get some bare chested Kara

[Tolkien]

Yeah... Bare chested Lois or Chloe would be my forté, lol.

[Darth Maul]

cool episode but enough with the kryptonite running gag! lol! im clark and im here to save the day! o ****! kryptonite!

[the elmo zombie]

i just got all caught up this week with all of season 6(HD-DVD) and the first 4 episodes of season 7. i dont see where all the negitivity on season 6 came from. with the exception of labrynth and noir. good season

I can understand not liking Noir, but you didn't like Labyrinth? That episode was great!

[Alien]

I kinda liked Noir, it was something a wee bit different. But really Smallville these days feels to must like a child of the 90's. TV these days is so much bettr, Lost, Heroes and Battlestar to name but a few are real 00's dramas. I still like Smallville but I don't know how long it can last.

[Movie Nerd]

By the way, the newest spoiler says a Justice League member will be on Smallville this January, and its someone that has not been featured on Smallville yet. So who do you guys think it could be?

Green Lantern? Bruce Wayne? Wonder Woman? Hawkman / girl?

[Alien]

GL would be cool but would need to be older than Clark and co.
Bruce would be amazing but it'll never happen.
Wonder Woman could work but I don't think it'll be her/
Hawkman/girl would need wings and would cost Smallville a lot.

As long as it's not Vixen or some other z-lister and they are done well I'll be happy.

Is Kara gone then for how long? Also, just coz they aren't normal Jimmy and Chloe are off? Where did J'onn J'onzz take CK Sir. and why wouldn't he tell Clark?

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I watch this show every Thursday. I even have the whole DVD sets. The show is pretty good right now. Heroes is slightly better but I still like this show.

I just hope in one of these seasons they have Clark learn some more abilities and develop the moral Superman code.

Kara will be back November 1st. And Zor-El will be in that episode also as well as Clarkes Kryptonian mom (played by Helen Slater from the Supergirl movie).

Jimmy and Chloe are done at least for now, at least thats what I saw.

Im guessing Martian Manhunter took him away from Earth. Since he said they had a "dont ask, dont tell" policy Im going to guess his punishment wasnt pretty.

I dont see why they couldnt have Bruce Wayne appear in an episode. You dont even have to involve the Batman character. Just have him butting heads with Lex about some huge business deal between Metropolis and Gotham. It would be awesome.

Zor-El and Clarks mum? Was Lara playing around with the other brother?

I thought that about J'onn J'onzz taking CK Sir to Mars, he can't die but he can't live either. Also, they didn't explain how he could live forever, kinda weird. I think Clark should have said, "I'm not my father, where is he!"

Bruce is too busy to care about business right now, he's training. He also hasn't chosen the name of the bat to strike fear into his enemeys yet.

From the preview seeing Zor El and Lara have something to do with this kyprtonite serum that Clarke and Kara wind up taking..

I agree they shouldve went into Knox's ability to live forever. Or at least mentioned he used to go by the name Vandall Savage. (I read thats who the character was based on, look on wikipedia to find out more)

Ok, if its not any of the people I mentioned earlier, who could it be? Because one of them is definitely showing up in January.

Didn't Vandall Savage own that place in the 20's? Then Clark said something like, "Maybe he never moved."

I think it was a real throw away line but then again I didn't hear it clearly.

man i love looking forward to 3 shows a week

Heroes, ghost hunters, smallville.

Thursday should be a fun episode.

[Alien]

Thursday should be a fun episode.
Why?

[Darth Maul]

Why?

cause the episode is about ppl making a superhero movie in smallville so I am sure there will be plenty of superman references to giggle about.

[Alien]

I haven't seen the trailer or read anything about future episodes, so sorry if that sounded like a dumb question.

Looks like the newest Justice League member for this season will be the Black Canary. I was really wishing for someone bigger but, oh well. Its still cool.

hi guys! can someone remind me what's is the real name of Oliver Queen is the of Smallville? he really catch my attention..

I'd say she's quite a big name, and probably the biggest we could've hoped for. I wonder if they'll re-write her history and make her a Meteor Freak?

GA could come back to coz he'd heard about her in the area.

[Firemamma]

It would be nice if the Green Arrow came back. at least for a cameo because I agree with kharen, he is a real eye catcher lol

[sshuttari]

This season so far is going really great, I love everyone's storylines and plot of the series.

I think if they keep this up, they should just end the show with this season.

[Movie Nerd]

He is definitely back this season. Hell be in at least one episode starting in January.

[kharen]

I more attracted to him that kent... I have a series of smallville with oliver queen and I used to watched it always... :)

[shehulksuperfan]

I love this show~~~~

[Movie Nerd]

Newest spoiler is there is ANOTHER character that fans have been "clamoring for for the last few seasons" making an appearance after the new year. Who could it be this time????

[Alien]

The only one fans really want is Bruce/Batman and it just ain't gonna be. Unless they are talking Milton Fine, but that's kinda old news.

[Dan's_Gurl]

Spoilers for episode 13 (not huge ones, but they do mention what justice league member is coming back):

Episode #7-11: "Siren"
Air Date: January 2008

Guest Stars: Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/The Green Arrow)

- UPDATED 10/25/07 (Thanks T.F.!): Smallville's version of Dinah Lance (Black Canary) is the host of a conservative talk radio show. Kind of like Ann Coulter without the Adam's apple.
- Like the comics, Dinah has dark hair, but wears a wig while in action as the Black Canary.

- UPDATED 10/23/07: The Black Canary appears in this episode (hence, the "Siren"), and yes, Oliver Queen is back too.

- UPDATED 10/18/07: This is looking more and more like it will be the "return of the Green Arrow" episode, though we still cannot confirm anything. (UPDATED: See Oct. 23 news)

- UPDATED 10/11/07: Smallville creator Al Gough tells TV Guide that Chloe will be "in quasi-Watchtower mode around Episode 11."
"You'll discover that she is still doing odd jobs for Oliver and the gang on the side," Gough says.

From KryptonSite.com

[Movie Nerd]

This new person apparently gets their powers from Kryptonite. And they appear after Black Canary.

[moonlightpictures]

Tonights episode was much better then last weeks! Loved seeing Krypton for the first time EVER on Smallville...I wonder whats in the vial thats metal and moving...hmmmm....

[Darth Maul]

it was good, but for some reason i get the feeling Lana is the clone. Like the original one died.

I dont think so. But the fact that shes learning more and more about Clarke and the way she basically isnt innocent anymore leads me to believe that she wont make it to the eventual series finale.

[General Disdain]

I dont think so. But the fact that shes learning more and more about Clarke and the way she basically isnt innocent anymore leads me to believe that she wont make it to the eventual series finale.

She'll make it to the end. She's becoming quite corrupt so I suspect she'll be involved in some plot betraying Clark.

[Movie Nerd]

Did she ever become an enemy of Superman in the comics? I really dont know. If not leaving her alive after all this **** would just be silly.

They dont usually do that on Smallville. At least I dont remember them doing it with Flash, Green Arrow or Aquaman.

I missed the first 5 seasons because I didnt think Id like it. Then my friend kept telling me about it I wouldnt watch it unless I started from the beginning. Good thing he had the first 5 seasons on dvd. I watched them in like a month. I couldnt turn it off.

Personally I am waiting until the entire series ends and hopefully I will be able to get the whole thing in one big box set.

Well I wouldnt be able to get it until the show is over for good, so its not possible to get it now. Im saying when the show ends I hope they eventually make the box set for the entire series.

[Tolkien]

They usually do that when shows end. But it's all about time schedules and whatnot. Most likely, we're gonna have to wait a while for that box set to be released.

Well that's not fair, I never got that in the download :mad:

[Movie Nerd]

Is that how they are gonna get me to stop fast forwarding past the commericals on DVR?

[moonlightpictures]

Well, there wasn't anything real special about the "secret" clip because they showed it in the last episode we watched. Its the scene where lex is holding the vial and it has the remains of "artificial goo-man" that gets broken and takes host to some girl.

Didn't care for the Super-Lana...seems like writers are repeating themes just with different characters. I guess that why it was so easy for me to take four seasons of Smallville and make a two hour movie out of it. --eh

I love the show -- but I'm looking forward to its finale.

Rumor has it that there will be a Krypton episode that will fully explain the origins and it will be the most visually exciting episode ever. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Can't wait. But if you've heard exactly how he's coming back....it's not going to be that great. I'm kinda skeptical at this point.

[Tolkien]

I really enjoyed Pete on the show and was angry that he left. If it was the actor's choice or not, I do not know. But still, it's not like we've seen him in a lot of other roles lately. Anyhoo, I would really love to see him on the show again, so this is pretty good news to me. Also, if possible, I wouldn't mind him and Chloe interacting a bit with the fact that Pete knew about Clark first and how he never shared anything with her, even though she was his best friend.

[Comingsoonfan777]

am still trying to catch up on smallville, but just curious, as of now, on a scale of 1-10 what would u rate season 7 so far?

[King_of_Skid_Row]

^I'd give it a 7. It's not like a big advertisement like last season. But it's still pretty average. The plot of this season seems to be Clark not wanting to let go of everything he has and how Lana might be holding him back.

My only issue with the show right now is that he doesn't really seem to have a direction. It's like after Season 5, it forgot it's purpose.

[Tornado]

Well, I have not seen every episode yet. I've seen the first six, so my rating could be off a bit. But for now, I'd probably give it a 9/10. I truly believe this has been one of the finest seasons yet (second only to Season 5 in my opinion).

As I said, I haven't seen the last two episodes, but I doubt they could sway my opinion too much.

[dongarcia]

I forgot the title of the episode wherein Amy Adams of Enchanted Movie was one of the guest....Her name was Jody, a fat girl who had been drinking vegetable shake for her diet but then it turned into a disaster because her vegetable that she planted was infested by these green meteorites.After drinking this shake, jody trimmed down faster but the side effect was terrible ,Jody turned into fat sucking vampire.

... And... What does that have to do with this current season? What does that have to do with these last few episodes at all?

[Dan's_Gurl]

I think he just figured that someone over here might know. According to IMDB, that episode was called Craving.

So i guess last night wasn't bad. I loved all the Chloe/Jimmy stuff. Thank god she finally told him about her powers. And Clark is BizarroClark. That's interesting.

[Tolkien]

I was wondering if she could control her powers at will. When she did the whole dying act in the previous season finale, I thought it was something that could only be brought on with extreme emotions. But no, she seems to be able to heal people at will, just... with really bad side-effects, lol.

[Dan's_Gurl]

um, you don't really need to put up a spoiler alert if the episode already aired. i honestly don't know when they will rerun it. They put their reruns in order of episodes. The next rerun will be their third week with a rerun i think, so they'll put up the third episode of the season. You'll kinda have to follow that, provided you live in the states. if you're in canada i think there is a station that might rerun later in the week.

yeah, i haven't been keeping up with Smallville a lot this season, so i'm not entirely sure how that happened.

[pointman]

I don't care about spoilers but... What the hell!

My exact words when I saw the epidoe. CK is ice-boxed in the fortress. We'll have to wait for next week to find out more.

[Tolkien]

Nope, next week is a rerun. The Beauty Pageant episode with the three dumb bimbos.

lmao.

[Dan's_Gurl]

there won't be episodes until January. The date was originally January 3rd, but with the writers strike they're probably going to wait until January 31st so they have episodes through February sweeps.

[Dan's_Gurl]

so this is kinda cool for the comic readers:

Chloe Comes To The Comics - Finally!
They've been talking about it for years and now Newsarama.com has confirmed that the character of Chloe Sullivan will be making her way into DC Comics continuity with issue #674 of Superman, hitting comic book stores on March 12.

Superman editor Matt Idelson told Newsarama that "their" version of Chloe will be similar but at the same time different from the character fans know and love on Smallville. “‘Our’ Chloe is clearly inspired by the Smallville character, right down to wanting to be a journalist, and being roughly the same age as the Smallville character. And she’s still Lois’ cousin. Beyond that, though, since she’s obviously a different age than Clark and Lana, she’s got to be her own, unique character," Idelaon says.

Writer Kurt Busiek expanded on this idea. “The problem we'd have faced if we brought her in with the same background as the TV show is that she'd fill two basic roles -- the Girl from Back Home and the Reporter -- and those roles are both pretty solidly filled in the adult Superman cast, by Lana and Lois. So she's got to have a different spin, one that lets her occupy a different role from either of them. She's the younger sister of someone Clark went to school with, not a classmate of Clark's herself. As a result, she's the new intern at the Daily Planet, fresh out of journalism school and itching to make a name for herself. That'll make her clearly different from Lois and Lana, and at the same time more familiar to watchers of the show.” Busiek has also pointed out that this "Chloe" will not know Clark's secret, nor will she have super powers.

got it from KryptonSite. :)

[Comingsoonfan777]

So is this the last season? cause if not, when will it end???

most likely next yr will be the final season 8

[Dan's_Gurl]

they aren't sure. some of the actors definitely aren't signing on for next year (Lex and Lana, i believe, they both said season 7 would be it for them when they were asked during season 6). most likely, next year.

[dvdfan]

WTF? I have a couple questions that I would like to ask. Is this the last season of Smallville? How many episodes does this season have or is this season planned for? And if you would kindly post a link to your source, that is if you have one.

Awaiting my Smallville Season 6 on blu-ray right now.

1. we don't know yet. if not this season, definitely next season.

2. 22 episodes were planned, but the writer's strike could lower that number.

3. you'll find all this info over at kryptonsite.com if you dig around.

That's why I hate that place, it's all there but it's all complicated and hard to find plus all the spoilers.

[Dan's_Gurl]

yeah i don't really use it to look for much. just to get the current SV news, which is easy to find.

[Comingsoonfan777]

which season do you guys had the best finale (please don`t be graphic, i just started watching this show a couple monthst ago, only on season 4 so far)

[Freelow]

I liked the one where Lex Luthor got trapped in a time portal/wormhole and was transported back to Krypton 20 years in the past. It was revealed that he was the creator of Brainiac and the eventual destruction of Krypton.


Edit: Woo Hoo - 1000 posts and it only took 4 years and 2 months.

WHAT THE F**K? :eek: When in the hell did that episode air? :eek:

That would be great, Brainiac could probe his mind and take on the body of someone from his past aka Miltion Fine. Time Paradox!

[dongarcia]

For me I like the episode wherein theres this boy named ryan he has the ability to read others mind..But he died because of head tumor . .It made me cry a bit because they're like brothers you know. . .I think it's in season 2

[WuTical]

Anyone else watch last night's episode ?

I thought it would of been great if Bizarro and Brainiac teamed up but they couldn't stand each other lol

also, lol @ Lana falling for Bizarro

[Knerys]

Man oh man am I out of the loop. Last night episode was cool but I was a little confused. And Lana still annoys the hell out of me heh...

Can any tell me what's going on? I haven't seen this since oliver Queen showed up...

Have you guy heard that Kristin Kreuk will have the role of Chun Li on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li movie?

I enjoyed seeing Lana without clothes.. well, strategically covered, but anyway.. (where's your maxim layout, kristin?)

and, so, apparently Clark was gone for a whole month? and Lana and Bizarro-clark were.. never mind..

Jor El imprisons his son in crystal for a month-- for what?! then Bizarro shows up and all of a sudden it's "son, you have to save the world.." Thanks, pop.. you bastard..

--- say, Dax-Ur looks an awful lot like an oder version of.. wait, it is him!
--- I'm still getting over how in the Smallville-verse blue-K simply renders regular kryptonians human-- so Dax-Ur wears his all the time? wouldn't his wife start to wonder... and would their child still inherit his genetic material, thus eventually having super--never mind..

--you know, I thought that Lana really was going to choose Bizarro over Clark, it would have been such a curveball!

and now Fine/Brainiac gets to kill Dax-Ur.. so much for someone from home to talk to Clark about his family..

[Knerys]

Well I saw this episode. ;)

i was talking about what happen befoer all that.

[Tornado]

I'm so far behind on this, I think the last episode I watched was "Action." I don't know why I stopped watching either; this season was fantastic up to that point. Oh well, I'll pick up the DVD when it comes out I guess and I'll have a bunch of new episodes to watch.

[Tolkien]

I don't know why I'm watching this season. I missed over half of the episodes from last season. I didn't even buy the DVD of season five yet to catch up. I really need to play catch up fast. But all in all, this season is looking better and better. Except for the fact that Lana Lang seems to be immortal. Seriously, can't the mutha f**ker die already? I really want her to die already. Why must she live on and taunt me continuously? Has she no shame?

[Alien]

Bizaro and Brainiac were really great together. Brainiac even in his weakened state looked like he could be a big player which I kinda loved.

[Tolkien]

It's just good to see James Marsters acting again.

Damn, you know how old he is? He doesn't look it.

[Faith27]

Do they already have Season 8????? I have no news about it but looking forward.

[Neverending]

Same here. :( Due to work I've missed most of the season.

I missed alot from this season, but I plan on watching the new episode tonight.

I just wished the CW website had the episodes up so I could catch up.

[Neverending]

me too.

[WuTical]

tonight Green Arrow returns and Black Canary makes her debut

should be really good

[Neverending]

So...no one saw Smallville tonight, huh? Cause of work I didn't get a chance to pay attention but it seemed like a decent episode. It was a cool superhero episode instead of one of those freak of the week nonsense.

[Tolkien]

I recorded it and just saw it an hour ago. Not bad, but not great either. I liked seeing Lois and Oliver back on the show again, but there was just too much identity revelations and discoveries here. Lois finds out about Oliver - Black Canary finds out about Clark and Oliver - Clark and Oliver finds out about Black Canary. It was all just one identity revelation after another. The story was okay and I liked Canary's effects, but what ever happened to secret identity here? There is none anymore.

[Dan's_Gurl]

I missed the first half of it, but from what I saw, I liked it. Yeah, there was a lot of secret identity reveals, but I kinda thought that made it better. If I had to sit through another episode where Lois gets conveniently knocked out so she doesn't realize Ollie is the Green Arrow, I'd shoot myself.

I agree 100%, in addition, this way it sets up the eventual Green Arrow/Black Canary relationship without the whole secret identity akwardness. Plus it looks like the impromptu Justice League is shaping up nicely. An episode showing the MM joining up would be cool.

One last thing, it may only be me, but I'm getting a gut feeling that this whole " I loved bizarro-clark better than real clark" storyline just planted the seeds of Clark and Lana's final break-up.

When will Season 8 be out on DVD? Wow, uhh... probably September of 2009. We're in Season 7 right now.

And yeah Neverending, I am pretty far behind. The last episode I saw was... Action I think. They were still together at that point, but that was about 6 or 7 episodes ago, I thought they would have broken up by now.

I for some reason can't see there being a Season 8. Maybe a sequel Superman series, as Bryan Singer's interpretation has been canned, but with 3 cast members MIA if there is a S8, it'd be difficult to make such a series.

Maybe The CW will soon announce the final 5/6/7 episode order will wrap everything up?

First off, when was it ever announced OFFICIALLY that Bryan Singers interpretation was canned? Delayed? Yes, as many projects have been do to the recently solved WGA strike. Show me one article that isn't just pure speculation or rumor and I'll agree with you wholeheartedly.
If there is no Season 8 then this series has been even more of a pathetic waste than it already is most of the time. I mean everytime they move Clark in the direction of becoming Superman, he goes running back to Lana, who btw has probably done more life saving this season than Clark has because for some reason the writers love to make her seem better than Clark.
What ever happened to the characters moving out of Smallville and into Metropolis in Season 7? I remember an interview w/ Gough and/or Millar about the then upcoming season 7 and remember something about how one of the things happening this year was for the characters to finally grow up and leave Smallville. Something about the move to Metropolis showing the maturity of the characters from high schoolers to adults. Well, Chloe and Lois are there, so when is Clark going to stop playing house w/ Lana and grow up? I'd love to see Lex in Metroplis, running LuthorCorp, maybe it's time to kill off Lionel (my favorite character on the show btw) just to complete Lex's transformation into a completely evil villain.
I continue to watch the series because I hope the payoff will be Welling becoming a good Superman, if not eventually on the big screen, maybe for a little while on the small screen. This show shows so much promise in many episodes like this seasons episode "Persona". A good episode involving Brainiac,Bizzaro and Clark being released to stop them by Joe-El, and then the inevitable happens.....CLANA takes over the last 20 mins of the episode. She shows up Clark in the battle w/ Bizzaro and then we end the show w/ a nice helping of romantic angst as Clark and Lana (aka CLANA) wrestle with the possibility that there relationship might be one built on lies and deception....:sleepy:
Plain and simple, if the writers actually listened to the fans they would get rid of Lana first and foremost (I hate the way she over emotes with her eyes, it is so freaking annoying to watch), send Clark to the Frtress at the end of Season 7 for his training, after a warm send-off from the character sadly missing this season, Ma' Kent and just as the finale is ending show Lex torturing Lionel to get info on the Kryptonian invasion, maybe Brainiac comes in at the end to use that mind sucker thing he used on Daxur in "Persona" to extract the knowledge from Lionel, killing him and setting up Season 8 for great battles and Clark finally becoming Superman.
There was a time where what was being done on Smallville was interesting and creative, now it's just become predictable and bland. Ditching the No Flights/No Tights rule would go a long way towards giving many fans what they badly want and deserve. Plus every other character on the show has flight (Kara,MM,Zod,Bizzaro,Phantom Zone villains) or wears tights
(Green Arrow,Black Canary,Aqua Man) so why not just go ahead and give us the real Kal-El??

[Spirited Away]

It's difficult to read your post, so I'm answering bits that stand out:

1) It was never confirmed 'Man of Steel' was axed. But at the same time, Warner Bros. never confirmed it was being developed. Strike's over, and no news at all.

2) Most of Season 7 has been set in Metropolis, and everyone has moved "on" - Clark spends most of his time protecting Metropolis, Lana's company is in the city, Lois, Chloe and Jimmy are at the Daily Planet, Lionel's office is in Metropolis.

Lex and Kara are the ones who both work and live in Smallville.

3) Not sure if you've noticed, but Clark still owns and operates the farm. That's how he makes a living.

[Neverending]

Interesting...

[Tolkien]

I've said it before: Keep the cast in Metropolis already, change the title from "Smallville" to "Metropolis" and make it about Superman's early years as a hero. We already have all of his fellow Heroes with him, so why not just do it already? Clark's already an adult, so why is he still living in the past?

[Spirited Away]

Pure speculation about the season/series finale:

Lex learns through Kara that Clark is an alien. He is more annoyed at Clark not telling him, than anything else. Keeps a kryptonite bullet in his gun just in-case. Through some conflict, Lex kills Lionel. He is a pure villain.

Lana finally gets the evidence to put Lex behind bars. Lex confronts her, but it's too late. She sends the information via phone to the FBI/CIA who begin breaking into Luthorcorp. Lex takes Lana hostage, up onto the roof of the building.

Although Brainiac is destroying the city, Clark tries to stop the Lex/Lana situation. Lex lets Lana go, only to then shoot her in the back. Lana dies.

When Clark tries to attack Lex, he is shot with a green bullet. He starts dying. Lex is then arrested, but Brainiac is still at large, causing chaos.

Knowing of her abilities, Chloe makes it to the roof of Luthorcorp. She tells herself Clark's life is more important than hers, and brings him back to life. She dies. (She got these powers to save Clark's life).

Clark awakens, newly healed. He's also developed the ability to finally fly. Massive showdown with Brainiac in Metropolis. His anger at Lana's death helps fuel it.

After a massive battle (I mean "massive", as in the biggest fight in all of Smallville history), Clark wins. The city celebrates.

Completely destroyed inside, Clark enters the Fortress. He begins his training.

If they end "Smallville" like that, they can have "Metropolis" a completely different show, actually about him being Superman. If Warner Bros. allows it.

[Tolkien]

^ I would watch that over and over again if they made that into an episode. It'd have to be AT THE VERY LEAST, a two-hour episode. Then we bring on Metropolis! Oh, wait... Writers don't listen to their fans, do they? That means this will just be another fantasy of ours that will never come to pass. Why did we even bother bringing those freaks back to work for?

He's beginning to look old now. Closer to his actual age.

But if Warner Bros. just give the guy his dues, and make him Superman in "Metropolis" and/or JLA, I'm sure he'd stay on.

I'll tell you exactly how I'd play Chloe's final scene:

Clark and Lana are in body bags, but Brainiac's attacks have meant the FBI have had to run to safety. Chloe uses this time to get to Clark's body. She unzips the bag, and after breathing heavily, she places her hand over Clark's wound.

Clark's eyes open.

Smallville High. It's deserted. But not under-attack or trashed up. Just empty. Like it's a weekend. Clark looks around him. There's no-one. But Chloe, who stands opposite him.

"Clark, I remember the first time we met. It was just over there, by the benches..."

Walking through the campus, past familiar grounds, Clark and Chloe begin to reminisce. Chloe points out how much Clark has grown, from the Boy Wonder into the Man of Steel. How he has saved countless lives, and never puts himself above others.

Clark then begins to wonder why they're at Smallville High. And how.

"I always wondered why I - Chloe Sullivan, of all the people in the world - got these powers. And now I know."

Chloe tells Clark she's brought him back to life. At the cost of hers. He is in disbelief.

"Promise me, Clark, promise me..."

She makes him promise that he'll keep fighting. That'll he'll continue to save the day. The world.

"... Promise me Clark that'll you'll always be Super"

Clark promises. Chloe comes closer to him. She presses her lips gently against Clark's. A flash of white light fills the screen.

Metropolis. FBI Medic Van. Clark gets up, and finds Chloe slumped over him. She is dead. Looking to the side, he sees Lana. He picks up Chloe, and properly places her. He begins to cry. The two most important people in the world to him are gone, because of him.

Brainiac storms past outside, laughing like a maniac. Clark gets himself together, and steps out the van. He is pissed.

"Let's finish this"

I think that would be motivation enough to become Superman. Plus, Chloe's last words could be how he comes up with his superhero name - its the promise he made to Chloe, brandished across his chest.

[sgr818]

Tom Welling has said he doesn't want to play superman.

But the main characters are supposed to be CLARK and LEX, they are still in Smallville.

And Clark doesn't protect anything other than Lana, everything else he protects by mere coincidence.And do you think I'm stupid?? Of course I've "noticed" he still owns and operates the farm, I said I still watch the show.

Clark needs to go away at the end of the season, and they can show next season how life has moved on without him. Then he can get a job at the Planet and begin his career as a mild mannered reporter.Jimmy shouldn't even be around yet, but uggghh thats typical Smallville reinventing.

[DaRkKnIgHtDeTeCtIvE]

Tom Welling has said he doesn't want to play superman.

I've been told that a million times. Maybe when Smallville is over and he realizes they don't want to make anymore Cheaper by the Dozen sequels he'll change his tune.

Corny yes, but I see where Spirited is going and at least it would be a nice scene between the two characters. And NO LANA. Exactly what I'd like EVERY scene to be like.
What I'd like to know is, how are they going to make Lois forget she knew Clark at the end of the series. They're supposed to be total strangers when he comes to work for the Planet. Oh well, not in this Bizarro Universe known as Smallville I guess.

Honestly...that sounds too good to be true. Based on Smallville's track record we'll probably get a disappointing ending.

[sgr818]

Being that Smallville is such a long running show, it will probably end with something big. Perhaps a 2-hour movie ending with a transition of Clark starting his training.

I kind of wish they would wrap thing up with the show, It seems like the writers are trying to stretch things out a little too much and not letting Clark become Superman that would thus end the show. When they do this, it make the show boring to me. The writers of "Lois and Clark" did it and it became a bore to watch near the end of that series.

I want Smallville to end with a bang not a bust.

[Spirited Away]

We'll never get the final episode we think Smallville deserves, but Warner Bros. (and even the writers) are hell bent on Smallville be "less" than perfect.

This has to be the last season. They need to stop dragging stuff out already and have it just be balls to the wall and go out with a bang

Sorry but with out Lanna and, more importaintly, Lex it'll either suck to high hell or be the best show on TV. My guess is the first one.

On the Lana thing I totally agree. However, I think with the right villian it can work without Lex. Maybe Brainiac as the big bad all season. Kinda manipulating things in the background for Clark.

[Dan's_Gurl]

i read that both actors said they would be open to doing guest appearances. Kill Lana, have Lex guest star every once in a while. That's what i'd like to see.

I wanted to have a complete copy of it from season 1 - 8....for my collection..
I really like Lana Lang.

[Tornado]

The CW's Official Description for 715 - Veritas:

KARA TEACHES CLARK HOW TO FLY — Kara (Laura Vandervoort) decides to teach Clark (Tom Welling) how to fly in order to strengthen his chances against Brainiac (guest star James Marsters). However, Brainiac seems to have the upper hand against the super cousins, and some of Clark’s loved ones are caught in the crossfire. Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore and John Glover also star. James Marshall directed the episode written by Brain Peterson & Kelly Souders (#3T6315).

--------------------

Something tells me I'll be playing catch-up over break so I can watch this episode when it airs. I doubt he'll catch on right away, but I think most fans have been waiting for Clark to even try flying for the majority of the series.

My thinking exactly,, add in some Jor-El manipulation for texture, and some indivdual and/or team ups of the Justice league for flavor, and BAM! recipie for an excellent season. Also if doable lets throw in some classic villians like Solomon Grundy, or toyman. Hell why not do a live action version of Superman-TAS episode where he meets the Legion of superheroes??

There should be three weeks of new episodes (1 Thursday, one next week, and then the flying one in 2 weeks), then a small break, and then the final 5 episodes of Season 7 from late-April.

Clark should perfect his flying by the finale.

[Tornado]

Clark should perfect his flying by the finale.

Key word there: should. But he won't. You and I both know he won't consistently fly until series end, if ever.

[James Joyce]

Does anyone have any idea when Smallville might be starting again on E4 in the UK?

Maybe not, but he'll need to if he wants to finish off Brainiac.

And they wouldn't show him starting to fly without resolution by season's end (or next season's premiere).

[Spirited Away]

Summer. But don't be surprised if it's not on DVD before it broadcasts on tele.

[Spirited Away]

The latest rumour is:

Lana is not in the final batch of episodes, as Kristen Kreuk is filming Street Fighter in Thailand.

With Episode 16 marking the first 100% no-returns death since Papa Kent, it could very well be Lana.

But God I hope they don't bring that stupid mermaid character in. I had never heard of her before TV Guide mentioned her, and I hope they don't make her lead cast!

I was dissappointed with this episode. I think the return of Pete shouldve been given a little more than a normal freak of the week episode

[Chessh2936]

I personally think they should kill off Lana and move Clark to the city to start his job at the planet and start learning to be a hero.

same here. and chewing gum? seriously? are we that out of ideas?

[Tornado]

So uhh... I remember a few months back, one of the producers of the show stated a villain based in the Superman mythos would be showing up near season's end (presumably to present a new threat to Clark, because Lex won't be around much next year). They announced the title for Episode 18 yesterday:

Apocalypse

Please be Darkseid! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/24fe2831.gif

[FVD]

They may as well introduce Metallo also. But Darkseid would be awesome.

[Tornado]

I'm going to be playing catch-up this weekend, so wish me luck. I'm just about to start watching Wrath, and I hope to be able to move through Blue, Gemini, and Persona today. Then tomorrow I'll take out Siren, Fragile, Hero, and Traveler.

I'll probably have my thoughts up after every couple of episodes, if anyone cares.

[Knerys]

Is it just me, or has Smallville gotten increasing melodramatic....

[Agent Deadpool]

Is it just me, or has Smallville gotten increasing melodramatic....

Oh its not just you. I think it slowly started a couple seasons ago and has gotten worse with the melodrama ever since

[Tornado]

I thought Wrath was alright. The execution of the episode was pretty good, but the idea of Lana getting super powers, causing a bunch of carnage, and then Clark STILL trusting her left a sour taste in my mouth. Also, Clark Kent on a horse? That was odd. But not as odd as their super sex, and the following mini earthquakes. I'd probably give it a 6/10.

Blue, on the other hand, was quite good. It was nice to see Clark and Lara together, if only for this episode. And Zor-El was something of an interesting character; I would've liked to have seen this arc stretch more than a single episode. But maybe he'll come back, I don't know. And Grant is Julian Luthor? Talk about a surprise coming out of left field. I'm not saying it was a "good" surprise, but it definitely caught me off guard. 8/10

I'll probably watch the next two tonight.

[Tornado]

I couldn't wait.

Gemini was a great episode too. The reveal that Julian was a clone was smart; the idea that he was Lex's flesh and blood brother didn't sit real well with me. And Lex is more or less a full-fledged bad guy at this point, just shooting Adrian as opposed to talking to him. I kind of knew something was up with Clark from the get-go, but I was a little taken aback that he was Bizarro the whole time. While that was cool, it's a little odd knowing he saved Chloe and Jimmy from the bomb, when in the premiere that's not something Bizarro would have done. We know Bizarro has Clark's powers and memory, maybe he has his feelings too. Still, great episode. 9/10

[dvdfan]

Ummm...I was just wondering whether season 7 is definitely the last season of Smallville. Is it?

[Dan's_Gurl]

nope. it just got a season 8.

[Tornado]

Ummm...I was just wondering whether season 7 is definitely the last season of Smallville. Is it?

No, Season 8 has been confirmed. That, I'm sure, is the final season though.

Also, Persona kept the string of great episodes going. Bizarro and Brainiac (sort of) working together was interesting... I just wish it hadn't led to Dax-Ur's death. I think it would have been nice for him to turn up now and then to talk to Clark, to sort of give him advice on things... I don't know what they'd talk about seeing as Clark has been on Earth for a long time now, but I still would have liked that route. Also, I was a little surprised to see Lana say she loved Bizarro more than Clark. That just seemed odd, and I'm glad it wasn't brushed aside like it might have been. Also, Lex had Grant killed. What a shocker. ;) 8/10

As for Siren, who knew Lex was a master of Gun-kata? Because I sure didn't. I thought it was a little ridiculous, but his fight with Arrow was great. Speaking of Oliver, it was great to see him back on the show. I wish they would just go ahead and make him a regular for Season 8 as his camaraderie with Clark is sorely needed. Also, a huge round of applause out to Erica Durance who turned in the performance of her Smallville tenure here. Knowing she would eventually end up with Clark made their final conversation that much more touching. The introduction of the Black Canary was fine, but I didn't know who she was coming in so I really had no pre-conceived notions of the character. 9/10

Fragile was a bit iffy I thought, being probably my least favorite of these three. But, the scenes inside Lex's mind were great. I loved the clash between Alexander and Lex, it reminded me of Onyx from Season 4; but I thought it was better here. I think on the last page or a few pages back Spirited Away brought up the idea that Chloe would die saving Clark's life. At the time, I refused to agree with that, but after this episode that seems pretty accurate. Maybe not quite as... corny, as he put it, but I think he's got a point. Chloe's recovery time is getting exponentially longer; her next save might be her last, and if it was used on Clark I think that would be a fitting end to their relationship. 8/10

All I've got left are Hero and Traveler, and then I can watch Veritas on Thursday without feeling out of the loop. Woo!

Yeah... I don't think this is referring to Darkseid anymore. In Wrath, Lex said something like "Unless you want to see the Apocalypse, you better find that vial!" (vial, as in, Brainiac). As cool as Darkseid would be, evidence seems to point to a showdown between Clark and Brainiac.

Yeah but I'm thinking that maybe this time around Brainiac is set out to unleash an even greater threat to Clark (and the world) with Darkseid. Part of me really wants to see it but part of me is worried that if we do it won't meet up to expectations.

Could be. Brainiac and Darkseid have worked together in the comics and the Justice League TV show (apparently; although I've never seen it). The only problem with that is where do you draw the line? Is Clark really going to face the majority of his rogue's gallery of villains before he even dons the tights? So far we've seen Lex Luthor, Zod, Brainiac, Bizarro, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Vandal Savage (he used aliases, and is probably Curtix Knox from Cure).

Superman doesn't have a huge cast of villains like Batman or Spider-Man do; honestly, I'd be surprised if Darkseid shows up. I think he'd be a character best left for Superman to face, not Clark Kent. Same goes for Doomsday and Mongul. I'd be alright with Parasite and Metallo showing up though, as long as they're done well and not watered-down versions of their true characters.

[Tornado]

I had mixed feelings about Hero, namely the involvement of Pete. I was never a big fan of Pete Ross. If he wasn't causing trouble for Clark, he was angry with him over his secret. The only thing I ever liked about him was how different he was from Lex (and at this point, Clark was friends with both). But to bring him back on the show as a meteor freak seemed like a mistake. It seemed like an odd time to bring him back in the first place; ideally, his return should have been the episode before Jonathan Kent's funeral (which Pete would attend), but I'm guessing it didn't work out because of scheduling conflicts. Also, why would Pete's shirt and bracelet stretch too? Oh that's right, they wouldn't. My mistake. ;) I liked the closing scene between Lex and Kara, with Lex closing the doors and giving a smug smile for the camera's sake. I may be being generous, but I'll go with a 7/10.

Just Traveler left now. I'm surprised at how great all these episodes have been, I wish I could remember why I skipped watching these in the first place. I must have had to work Thursday nights or something.

[Tornado]

I am officially caught up.

Traveler was a masterpiece, focusing on the mystery from the earlier seasons that I've come to miss. Just when you think Lionel is actually one of the good guys, he goes and blows that thought to smithereens by trapping Clark in a kryptonite cage. I like the premise behind Veritas: a secret society set up by Lionel, the Queens, the Teagues, and Virgil Swann. It was good to see Kara get her powers back, and Chloe's line "I love your son!" Part of me thinks the Smallville writers are going to pull a 180 and have Clark end up with Chloe as opposed to Lois, although I'm not sure I want that anymore. Lois has grown on me a lot these past two seasons, and I think it'd be a shame if the two didn't end up together.

But by far, the best scene of the episode was Clark confronting Lionel. Lionel says "I'm different now. I'm a different man," and then the music picks up and suddenly stops with a sound similar to Clark's superspeed take-off before he says, "No you're not." I actually kind of thought Lionel might kill himself at the end of the episode, which I think might have been a fitting end to his character arc. If the one person in the world who sees the good in everybody (even Lex) thinks you're a bad person and can't change, then you are.

And then they had to kill off Patricia, which is a shame. I think she could have been a great character over time, but at least Lex ended up with her locket, which from the previews for the next episode seems to be important. I thought Traveler was easily the best episode of the season, and one of the best of the series. 10/10

I can't wait until Thursday! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/b59f9f0c.gif

True, but I have a feeling that since they know they won't be able to show this Clark's Superman years, that they might as well get in as many characters from it as possible. I'm not saying that's what they're going to do, but it seems likely to me.

[Tornado]

I can see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's going to happen. I was very disappointed with the show's interpretation of Zod (not so much his mannerisms, but that he took Lex's body instead of his own), and I'm afraid they'd screw up a great villain like Darkseid or Doomsday.

Besides, Clark wouldn't stand a chance against either one of them at this point in his life. If present-strength Clark, Kara, and the Martian Manhunter went up against Doomsday they could maybe win.

[Spirited Away]

Tom Welling is directing 'Apocalypse'.

Yeah, I'm still mad we didn't get to see Zod in his own body. The more I think about it, if they had Darkseid on the show, it'd more than likely not do justice for his character.

Isn't it a little too soon to be introducing all these villains?

[Tornado]

Isn't it a little too soon to be introducing all these villains?

Agreed; I even said that a few posts back. But, with Lex appearing less (or not at all) next season, I think it would help to bring a new character on. If I were writing the show and had free reign to do whatever I want, I'd bring Bruce Wayne on. He wouldn't be Batman obviously, but he'd have very strong feelings on crime-fighting, and could probably give Clark a nudge in the right direction (I think he's close to where he should be by series end, but he still has a ways to go). But with Bruce, there would easily be 13 episodes (assuming he signs on for half a season like several of the other characters do: Lois and Jimmy, for example) worth of stories to tell, setting up the foundation for their future friendship.

But, since Wayne is tied up in the movie rights that seems unlikely. What I really don't want to see is Lori Lemaris (who has been rumored at). She (a mermaid) and Clark dated when he was younger, but I don't really think that's a story I want to see. If they want to bring Lori on for an episode, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But I think Clark needs to either be single and start pursuing his future destiny (flight, the Daily Planet, wearing glasses, etc.) or start developing his feelings for Lois next season. No Lana, please. As for Chloe... as much as I'd like to see the two together, I think that ship sailed away in Season 4 when she discovered his powers.

And if anybody cares who I'd cast as Bruce Wayne, I'd go with my personal pick of the past four or five years: Henry Cavill.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/henrycavill1.jpg

I'm not exactly sure what a young Bruce Wayne should look like because I never really got into those comics, but Cavill looks like how I picture him. And better yet, he can act.

[Tornado]

Man, any of you guys watch Onyx lately? I'm re-watching it right now, Rosenbaum does such a great job as an evil Lex. "Don't you get it? I am the real Lex!"

[Tornado]

It's funny; just when I'm really getting gung-ho about the show again is when the rest of the board seems to be losing interest.

[Spirited Away]

There's not much to talk about.

Um, Warner Bros. plans on releasing Season 7 on DVD in the UK on September 15th 2008.

It's funny because Season 7 doesn't even have a broadcast date yet in the UK.

[Spirited Away]

I've just seen Veritas on YouTube.

Although I've always disliked Lana, I feel a bit sad about how they've written her out of the show. A bit depressing, but I guess it allows for her to come back for one or two episodes in Season 8.

Clark is totally going to kill Brainiac.

[boydston_14]

It's funny; just when I'm really getting gung-ho about the show again is when the rest of the board seems to be losing interest.

No, I'm totally psyched to see Veritas tomorrow on my birthday! :)

[Tornado]

There's not much to talk about.

You mean besides Traveler, the upcoming Veritas, the episodes after the brief hiatus, Season 7 in general, speculation on the finale, etc? Yeah, I guess you're right. ;)

Alright, in an effort to start discussion, what do you guys think of Season 7 in general? I'll go first:

I was worried coming in to Season 7. After watching last season's finale Phantom and reading some of the news for the upcoming seventh season (at the time), I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. I don't watch a lot of television, but I'm very faithful to what I do watch. I'm not sure I can say Smallville is my favorite show, although it's certainly in my top 5. This is a show I've been watching since Day 1; I still remember being blown away by the pilot. I've been with the show for the full six seasons, and I hated the idea that the show might be going somewhere I'm not interested in. I've since come to appreciate the greatness of Season 6, probably ranking it as the second or third best season of the show.

And then I saw Bizarro. All those feelings I had from the get-go came flooding back, reminding me why I keep coming back to this show after 130+ episodes. Kara was another fantastic episode, but it was followed by two mediocre shows in Fierce and Cure. Action was pretty decent, but the final scene with the cape more than made up for it. I don't remember much about Lara, but I'm pretty sure I liked it.

And then, for no memorable reason at all, I stopped watching.

Honestly, I don't know. I think it had to do with my job at the time. I remember working a lot of Thursday nights, but I'm not sure why I didn't just watch the episodes online. Anywho, this past weekend I caught up and was again blown away by the progress the show has made, not only in the season but also the series.

If Season 7 continues moving the way it has been, I think it'll easily replace Season 5 as my favorite season. If I had to rank the episodes, this would be pretty accurate:

1. Bizarro
2. Traveler
3. Siren
4. Persona
5. Kara
6. Gemini
7. Blue
8. Action
9. Fracture
10. Lara
11. Hero
12. Wrath
13. Cure
14. Fierce

You're going to love Veritas, me thinks.

As for the death, it seems likely that Lex will finally kill Lionel. I heard he's signed for Season 8, but who else would it be? Chloe? I don't think the producers are up for facing the incredible fan backlash they'd get over that one. Everybody else is in the Superman canon, so... it's gotta be Lionel.

[Dan's_Gurl]

TV Guide said it would be someone we've never presumed dead before. was Lionel ever thought to be dead? (I wanna say yes, but i'm not as familiar with earlier seasons as i'd like to be.)

[Tornado]

Kind of off beat, but I'd like to see an episode where Clark just tests his powers. We've seen him do some pretty amazing things, but I wonder just what he's capable of at this point in his life. I don't want it to get in the way of the plot because that's ultimately more important, but I think it'd make for a fun episode.

[Spirited Away]

TV Guide said it would be someone we've never presumed dead before. was Lionel ever thought to be dead? (I wanna say yes, but i'm not as familiar with earlier seasons as i'd like to be.)
No, Lionel's never been presumed dead by the audience.

Chloe has been twice, in the season 3 finale and in the season 6 one too.

Lana has been once, in the 100th episode.

Obviously Kara, Jimmy and Lois are off-limits, so that leaves pretty much only Lionel. And Martha. And Pete Ross too.

[Dan's_Gurl]

then yeah, i'd go with Lionel.

[IanTheCool]

is thre gonna be another series after this called Metropolis?

[Tornado]

is thre gonna be another series after this called Metropolis?

A lot of the fans want that, but I'm not sure it's ever even been hinted at by the producers.

[Tornado]

Wow, that might have been my favorite cold opening of the series. Hopefully the rest of the episode is the same way.

Also, slightly off-topic, but does anybody know if they have a new composer on the show? I know Mark Snow was on the staff for the first six seasons, but the music seems different this year. Not necessarily better or worse, but different... and maybe better. ;)

[Tornado]

Hands down, one of the best episodes of the series. My only minor (very minor) gripe was that Clark didn't even try to fly even though the episode was billed as the one where Clark "learns" to fly. But at the same time, his response to the situation was completely in-character.

10/10

I'm surprised they showed Lex pushing Lionel out of the Luthorcorp window in the trailer for Descent. That seems like something they should have waited on until the actual episode.

[Dan's_Gurl]

yeah, i was disappointed about the non flying thing too. Seems like this is how they're going to write out Lana for next year. overall, i thought it was a good episode.

[Cain Marko]

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any speculation as to where Kara and Brainiac flew off to. Just to throw it out there and it may just be me but I was definitely thinking Boom tube.

[an4rew]

I enjoyed Lana for the first couple seasons when she looked hot and youthful but she looks a bit too old now for the part she plays.

Kara is the one to take over now :meanie:

Yeah I was kinda shocked by what they showed us in the preview for Descent as well, but it was pretty obvious that it was going to happen. Just wish that the people who didn't see it coming didn't have it spoiled for them.

[Tornado]

You could be right; if that's the case, introducing Darkseid seems very likely.

Anywho, big night for Smallville news: episode titles, pictures, and an official description for Descent. First, the episode titles: Quest (719) and Arctic (720). Initial speculation? Quest, to me, says either Clark will be looking for something or Lex will be attempting to find out who the traveler is. And Arctic to me sounds like the Fortress is involved. Maybe Clark begins his training?[/end wishful thinking]

Or maybe Arctic will involve chaos on a huge scale (like in most of the finales), with the world starting to freeze over or something. I hope not, but that could be kind of cool if done right.

I'm not going to post any of the images because they could be considered spoilerish, but they're over at K-Site if you're interested. And finally, the official description for Descent (don't worry, no spoilers outside of what we already know):

THE DAY CLARK AND LEX BECAME MORTAL ENEMIES — The secret of Veritas leads Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) in a dangerous direction that will put Clark (Tom Welling) and Lex in each others’ crosshairs. There is a major power struggle and one character dies. Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Laura Vandervoort, Aaron Ashmore and John Glover also star. Ken Horton directed the episode written by Don Whitehead & Holly Hendersen (#3T6316).

[Tornado]

Or better yet, there is a connection between Quest and Arctic. Maybe when Lex opens the bank deposit box he finds something like a map leading to the Fortress, which he finds in the finale.

I'm getting ahead of myself. ;)

[Neverending]

well...it seems like I'm back at a regular work schedule so I can start watching Smallville again. So...what have I missed. Give me a quick update.

[Spirited Away]

Lex discovers/remembers that his family emblem (the V with stars around it) is the logo of Veritas, a group of rich billionaires who exist to monitor the arrival of the Traveller (Kal-El, as detailed in the caves). Lionel was one of them, but when the others had a different agenda, he killed them all. This includes Dr Swann and the Queen family.

Lex becomes obsessive and murders Dr Swann's daughter (his former childhood friend) for her Veritas locket/key. It opens a security deposit in Zurich that has the biggest revelation since Jesus. But then Lex finds out there is a second locket/key, and he needs both. Lionel has the second locket. Lex also finds out that Lionel knew the meteor shower was coming in 1989, and purposely went to Smallville to find Kal-El.

Lois and Jimmy find out, by snooping around, that Lex killed Dr Swann's daughter. Lex also killed him brother earlier this season too, which they might find out. Both are beginning to plot how to bring Lex down, however because he owns the Daily Planet, it's going to be difficult to publish such an article.

Brainiac comes back and wants Kara to help him do a task out in space. She refuses, so he attacks Lana and wipes her mind bone dry. Lana enters a vegetative state. Clark is devastated that Kristen Kreuk was written out, and out of guilt, Kara joins Brainiac to go outerspace.

Lionel desperately tries to warn everybody that something is coming that will devastate everything, but nobody believes him because they think he killed Dr Swann's daughter (like he killed her father and his partners). But Lex is now hunting down his father for the last locket, and something evil is coming...

Brainiac comes back and wants Kara to help him do a task out in space. She refuses, so he attacks Lana and wipes her mind bone dry. Lana enters a vegetative state. Clark is devastated that Kristen Kreuk was written out, and out of guilt, Kara joins Brainiac to go outerspace.

I see.

Lionel desperately tries to warn everybody that something is coming that will devastate everything, but nobody believes him because they think he killed Dr Swann's daughter (like he killed her father and his partners). But Lex is now hunting down his father for the last locket, and something evil is coming...

All builds up to the finale.

We've got five episodes left of what will probably be known as the greatest season of the show: Descent, Sleeper, Apocalypse, Quest, and Arctic. Each title is more epic than the last (aside from Sleeper, which could turn into a filler episode for all I know), and I can only hope the actual content of the episode follows the same mentality. But enough rambling, here I go.

Descent:
I'm not one to follow spoilers of the show; the only content I take a look at are the episode titles, the trailer, the official description, and any photos uploaded to K-Site. So all I really know about this episode is somebody dies. Speculation seems to point to Lionel, but a lot of fans are also pointing the finger of death at Chloe. I can only assume people think it's Chloe because they believe she would heal Lionel in order to learn new information from him (what Veritas is, where the key is, etc.), and that this healing would kill her. But, as I stated, I look at the images uploaded to K-Site, and these new images point to someone else:

Presumably after Lex pushes Lionel out of the window of Lionel's office at Luthorcorp Plaza. Note the look of astonishment on his face; I'm going to miss Rosenbaum if he doesn't return for Season 8.

Traditionally (I believe), the only people who pour dirt over the casket are the people closest to the deceased. Clark pouring dirt over the grave would work for both Lionel and Chloe, but wait for it...

BAM, the clincher! First off, why would Chloe have a funeral in Metropolis? But we knew that from the last image. This image shows that nobody else is in attendance (assuming they haven't all already left); Chloe has friends who would all attend (her father Gabe, Lois, Clark would certainly bring Lana, Jimmy, Lionel, etc.). But if it's Lionel's funeral, I can understand nobody else being in attendance. Clark would go out of respects, but aside from Martha, would anybody else go after his recent actions? I don't think so.

Also, if you squint really hard, you can make out Julian Luthor on the tombstone next to his. It looks like a family plot.

If what I said is accurate, then the show will be changed forever. This is the moment we've been waiting seven years to see, and it's finally here. Honestly, words cannot express my excitement.

Sleeper:
Well, I'm pretty sure the word "sleeper" means someone or something who previous went unnoticed and recently gained success or popularity. So, my first thought is Lex. If Lex does kill Lionel, he would inherit LuthorCorp (and could re-name it to the LexCorp we all know) and would no longer have anybody (business-wise) standing in his way. Or, it's a freak of the week episode. It seems like an odd place for a filler episode, but they've done it before (Accelerate and Fade come to mind). As far as I know, nothing else has really been released so speculation is all we've got.

Apocalypse:
For the show's 150th episode, I'm betting on something big. I know this is being heralded as Clark and Brainiac's final fight, and because of that this could easily be one of the most important episodes of the show: Clark probably learning how to fly (seems like he's going to have to learn to take down Brainiac), Kara returning back from wherever she and Brainiac took off to (the Boom Tube seems likely), Lana returning back to her normal state of mind, the possible introduction of Darkseid (if Kara and Brainiac did indeed go to the Boom Tube, then his introduction seems very plausible), and of course the fight.

So who better than Tom Welling to direct this episode? Personally, I was thrilled with his previous efforts (Fragile and Hydro), and I think he's the perfect person to nail down the emotions from Clark pre and post flight, and his reunion with Kara and Lana.

Quest:
Nothing is known about this episode other than the title, so anything said is just one big chunk of speculation. Veritas ended with Lex claiming he wouldn't have to look far for the second key to the bank deposit box in Zurich, and I'm guessing in this episode he'll wind up opening the box (after obtaining the key in Descent, presumably after Lionel's death). What he finds in the box is, I'm guessing, going to lead him to the Fortress.

Arctic:
Lex makes it to the Fortress (leading into the 8th season premiere - Fortress). I have no other ideas about this episode or the last because we don't really know enough to make a guess at this point.

[Spirited Away]

I think Lex finds his way into the Fortress too. That, or Clark starts his training.

Someone off Kryptonsite suggested the eclipse happens again, and the result is the Earth is frozen over.

[Darth Maul]

The new episode looks very interesting, so we get to see a even darker side of lex?

[Spirited Away]

Yeah. The producer said its the most important episode since Clark found the Fortress.

[MasterChief117]

I got a question to fans of Smallville what is the best episode to watch on this show?I was maybe wanting to get into this show with maybe a good episode.

[Dan's_Gurl]

Justice from season 6.

[Tolkien]

I couldn't agree with you more there, Nikki. Also, I've been out of touch with Smallville news for over a year now, but to my memory, this season was supposed to be the last. Yet for some reason, I keep seeing people talk about what they hope happens in the next season. Did I miss something here? There's going to be another season after this?

They announced a Season 8 a month or two back.

[Dan's_Gurl]

yeah, the CW kinda needs smallville. it's one of the few scripted dramas that bring in high ratings. i have a feeling that they'll renew it until Tom Welling doesn't want to do it anymore (which will probably be next year).

[Tornado]

I'm pretty sure Season 8 is the last season; I mean, how long can they really put off training/the tights? At the end of this season Clark will be 21 at season's end, I think it's time for him to start working in Metropolis. He could live in Smallville but work at the Daily Planet, start wearing glasses, etc. No tights, but he would regularly fly (or at least it would be implied he's flying, kind of how they do super speed now).

For kicks, I'm going to come up with my version of Season 8 (episode titles and brief descriptions) later tonight.

EDIT - Yeah, that's not happening tonight. Maybe later in the week.
