Smallville

[unity768]

Last nights episode was better than last weeks, but It still had problems. I never liked this Jimmy Olsen and prob never will. The love interest with Chloe is boring most of the time, I snooze whenever they're both sharing a scene. Other than that, I loved the portrayal of Maxima, Lois + Clark relationship developed nicely here, and the continuity from previous seasons regarding that love letter from season 2 and the bracelet dating back to the damn pilot was excellent. And we finally see the dog since..hmm can't remember when.

I loved yesterday's episode. Maxima was smokin!!!!!

9/10

[Spirited Away]

I liked the episode, but it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped. 7/10

Next week looks impressive, and looks like we might have our first proper romantic scene between Lois and Clark.

[RingWraith2k4]

It's funny. I'm really not the type to like romances in my favorite shows, but Lois and Clark in Smallville seems to be one thing I want to see happen. I guess it would mean that Clark is Officially gotten over of Lana. Something I wished the character had gotten over a couple seasons ago.
I guess the ONLY time he was really interested in someone else other than Lana was when that teleporter/meteor freak. The blonde one, I forget her name. She was hot though.

[Dan's_Gurl]

Sarah Carter was the actress. I can't remember her character's name either. but yeah, she seemed to get him to forget about lana pretty easily.

[Tornado]

Alicia... Baker? Yeah, I think that's right.

[Tolkien]

I miss Sarah Carter. :( I watched Shark just for her.

[Michael Corvin]

The Maxima episode was okay, but it wasn't nearly as good as I hoped. The girl playing Maxima wasn't good, either. 6/10

[Neverending]

No comments? Not even from fanboy Tornado? :eek:

Well, anyway, I loved tonights episode. Welling and Durance continue to have amazing chemistry.

Next Week: DOOMSDAY.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I loved todays episode. Mainly because of the chemistry between Lois and Clark. And I like the fact that Clark isn't so 'dude in distress' with kryptonite anymore. Finally he is using his brains to find ways to defuse the kryptonite.

9/10

Can't wait for Doomsday. Already he looks creepy.

[unity768]

"Committed" can be summed up as a showcase vehicle for the Lois and Clark relationship. However, this does not mean that the episode was spectacular. The marriage torture segments were a complete rip off of the Saw films, and this isn't the first time they've done that. The Oliver and Tess relationship still bothers me as does the Chloe/Jimmy one that took up a tons of screen time here. I think the producers are going to have a tough time developing relationships alongside Lois and Clark this season. But despite the negatives the episode does offer some funny segments, with Oliver having an awkward moment with Lois and Clark at a wedding shop. The lie detector crap was pretty cheesy, but enjoyable when Lois was asked that intriguing question. I think this is the most grown-up we have seen Clark in quite some time. He handles the awkward Lois moment very handily and maturely. For a filler episode it was entertaining, but I just don't like these forced romantic arcs the keep clouding our show. On a side note, next weeks Doomsday episode looks promising even though I've been against introducing Doomsday to Smallville before this season aired.

:funny: I haven't seen it yet, I had other plans last night.

I'll check in though just for you buddy when I find it online. ;)

[Tornado]

Alright, I just finished watching it.

You know, I would be pretty disappointed with Clark's seemingly-somewhat random 180 turn if the show wasn't so much better than it used to be. I thought last night's episode was both hilarious (I think I've laughed more this season than I have in the past seven) and dramatic in the right places. I mean, you want to draw comparisons between the way Gough and Millar ran the show and how the new folks are? Look no further than when the guy was questioning Chloe, "Are you in love with anybody else?" She said "No," which is an answer that never would have been given under Gough and Millar. I used to be a hardcore proponent of the Clark/Chloe pairing, but I got awfully tired of them giving us little hints and then doing nothing with it. Frankly, it's better this way that they continue developing the relationship between Clark and Lois. Here's hoping Lana doesn't come back and ruin everything.

A

Next week looks great!

[unity768]

Tornado, as a fellow fan of Smallville, do you really like this version of the Jimmy Olsen character? Man, he just comes off as unlikable. He's suppose to be an energetic kid who loves Superman. I just don't like this. I think Miles and Gough pushed him in there to get ratings boosts. I agree with your Chloe/Clark comment though, and it was a funny episode at times but too much of it was centered on the Jimmy/Chloe marriage, which is the most uninteresting arc in this series since that damn Witch crap with Lana in season 4, though I thought the Traveler arc last season was so god damn unoriginal, as it was a carbon copy from previous seasons.

[Tornado]

I really hated Jimmy at first, there's no doubt about that. I wish there was more of a friendship between him and Clark and that he wasn't so doubting of Chloe's feelings toward him, but I guess I don't really mind him anymore. My biggest problem with him is that they never do anything with the character. Every once in a while he'll work with Lois or something, but otherwise he almost exclusively deals with Chloe.

[Spirited Away]

Jimmy's okay imo, but we only ever see him when it comes to lovey-dovey storylines, never just on his own. I think that's gonna change with Episode 8 tho.

As for last nights episode, very enjoyable. I'll give it an A as well. Best episode so far this year.

[RingWraith2k4]

The best part of this season so far as been Clark and Lois' relationship finally taking a turn for the better.
But what I'm afraid of is when Kristen Kruek makes a special guest appearance that the writers will make Clark go back to falling for her again. (Clark should've moved on many seasons ago!) Unless of course Lana comes back and Clarks feelings for her are no longer and only for Lois.
Also, I really hope that this Doomsday storyline will be great.

[Spirited Away]

Even if "Clana" came back, fat lot of good it'd do: it'll only be for five episodes, and I have a strong inclination Doomsday will be killing off our former leading lady.

[Tornado]

As much as I'd love to see that, I would be very surprised if it happens.

[unity768]

I thought Lana should have stayed in Paris at the end of season 3..perfect way to write her off the show. But they brought her back..because shes actually a descendant of a witch! yay! I agree that Lois/Clark relationship has been the strongest part of the season so far, and I do dread the return of Lana.

[JheyDC]

kill her already!! LOL

[Spirited Away]

Now I'm certain they won't kill her off. I think Sam Jones III is returning for Episode 10, so they'll just set-up her relationship with him.

[Dan's_Gurl]

^awesome (though you may want to spoiler tag it before someone who doesn't wanna see it sees it.)

[JheyDC]

Now I'm certain they won't kill her off. I think Sam Jones III is returning for Episode 10, so they'll just set-up her relationship with him.

Now, do we know for sure if this is going to happen?:eek:

[Tornado]

No, it's just speculation on his part.

[unity768]

wow wow wow did u see that preview!!!

[unity768]

i think we got our first 10.0 of the season here

[EnderDeschain]

That was a good ****in episode. The only complaint I have is Welling's delivery of one particular line, something about "there was an attack" bleh, I was too stunned by his ****tiness to comprehend his words. It was maybe the worst-acted delivery of a single line I've ever seen, but he ain't ever been much of an actor anyway. Other than that, goddamn this was awesome. I'm a little disappointed 'cuz I expected more from the Davis/Doomsday angle, but that's only 'cuz of last week's preview. If I hadn't seen that this would've been even better. The conversation between him and Clark in particular stands out as a moment that made me sit up and go "goddamn, this is actually friggin great." Next week's preview was intriguing as all hell. Evidently Smallville is back. Maybe.

[Tornado]

I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but you're wrong in saying Welling isn't much of an actor. He's carried this show for eight years now, and has played five different characters, all of them quite well.

[unity768]

Tornado he's right, that line wasn't delivered very effectively. But Tom has indeed grown as an actor through the series.

[JheyDC]

Last night's episode was awesome!!!
I would have to agree with some of you guys, by far the best out of season 8!!! Davis has a sense of darkness in him, I mean, I know his character was meant for that, but I believe they casted the right person for the role. It's amazing how this show evolved. I kind of want to know how they are going to carry out Lex's disappearance in the end. Anyone want to share their opinions?

[Spirited Away]

There were rumours circulating that Michael Rosenbaum will return as the voice of Lex, so if this is true, I think his physical form has disintegrate, and his mind is in the Blue Crystal/Fortress 2.0.

[Spirited Away]

Yeah, definitely the best episode so far this season. BTW who was Martian Manhunter referring to when he explained how he got his detective badge? I say Commissioner Gordon via Batman.

Next week's preview looks nothing less than spectacular. I'm glad Lois is in 18 episodes this year, next season I hope she's in all 22. And last night, the Live+SD rating was another increase to 4.22 million.

[Tornado]

I just finished watching Prey; I thought it was easily the best episode of the season, and that's saying something considering how much I've enjoyed Season 8 thusfar. This show just keeps getting better and better.

[unity768]

*edit*

[unity768]

I agree with tornado and everyone else, Prey was the best episode of season 8 so far. We finally see Clark helping people in distress of whom he doesn't really know (Supes). MM was a fun addition here, but I wish for the life of me that he'd just have his powers. Doomsday was very effective here, with a great performance from new comer Sam Witwer. The tension between Clark and Chloe hasn't been this strung since season 3 when Clark finds out Chloe had investigated him for Lionel. And finally, Jimmy Olsen is finally likable in the last minutes of Prey, as we see a familiar Jimmy that takes pride in his opinion on a certain hero. Prey finally makes us believe that this Clark Kent can and will become the man of steel

10/10

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I agree with everyone else. This episode was fantastic! I like how active Clark is in his hero role and I also like the little mention that he might need a disguise. Hopefully he gets one soon ;) . We are finally seeing some Superman traits and I applaud the new writers for finally giving the character Clark Kent the justice that he deserved.

And...what can I say about Witwer. He rocked as Starkiller and Palpatine in TFU and now he rocks as Davis/Doomsday. The man is on a roll.

10/10

[bbf2]

I wonder how they're actually going to show Doomsday. I don't see how its possible.

I mean, there is absolutely no way that this show has the budget to create a giant CGI hulking Doomsday creature. No way. Especially not one that can be in enough scenes to have a fight scene. It would even be a struggle in a big budget motion picture.

At the same time, this entire storyline has been a tease to the fact that we're eventually going to see the real Doomsday, so there's no way they could back out, right?

I have a feeling we're going to be disappointed when we end up seeing a smaller, more humanoid (and 6 foot tall) Doomsday portrayed by Sam Whitwer in extensive grey make-up with the horns and spikes everywhere. (The producers will justify it by saying something like "Well, we wanted a smaller, humanoid, more agile Doomsday so that he could be more of a counterpart to Clark instead of a giant Godzilla monster.")

I mean, I'd love it if they spent the entire season budget on a few CGI shots of the true comic book version of the Doomsday monster, but there really is no way that is feasible.

When I first heard that Doomsday was going to be in Smallville, I knew right away that it will most likely be Davis in makeup and he's a pretty much humanoid like you said.
I'm mean, back when they did the whole Zod thing, they didn't even hired an actor to play the character. They just have Lex be "possessed" by Zod and have Michael Rosenbaum play the character. Sigh! Budget then must've been tight if they couldn't hire an actor to play Zod.
So with Doomsday. I fully expect Davis to be in makeup/slightly CGI in the face or something and that will be your Smallville's Doomsday. Tight budgets suck!!!

[JheyDC]

I'm sorry, someone a few comments ago mentioned something about another Season of Smallville? Thought this was the last Season? Also, can someone help me out by posting the Comic Book photo of Doomsday?

[Spirited Away]

Thought this was the last Season?
Unlikely, considering the show's creative and ratings resurgence, and how the writers and producers want many more years, and how many of the cast have Season 9 (and 10) contracts.

Tom Welling is the deciding factor, because he's officially only signed onto Season 8 at the moment, but I'm sure they'll pay him $$$ for a new contract.

[RingWraith2k4]

^
Agreed. I mean, usually the networks announce a last season before the season begins as: "The Final Season"
Obviously that was never announced for Smallville this season. I do predict that either next season or maybe a Tenth Season will be the last. If thats the case, I really hope that by then they have Clark Kent FINALLY be in costume. At least in the very last episode.
But I'm not gonna "hold my breath" for that one, but we'll see.

[Spirited Away]

The first thing I'd change is the series' title. It really needs to be Metropolis asap!

Why bother changing the name of a well established show? Sure he's moved on to Metropolis but it's still Smallville and he's still thinking like someone from Smallville

[Spirited Away]

Depends on how long the show goes on for. One season, fine, stick with Smallville. But if there's gonna be a S10, 11 or even 12, then it should change its name.

[Tornado]

To take a page out of Alien's book, I don't know how you 'crazy Brits' do things, but you don't re-name a show that's been on the air for eight years in the U.S.

And I seriously doubt the show will run more than another two seasons max, much less another four (Welling is going to want out before too long).

And to be honest, you have just as much to go on as I do, so we both have no idea how long Smallville will go on for.

People assumed TW would bail out back in Season 5, but instead he signed on for 3 more years.

If the series did go on beyond Season 9, it would have to be a flat out Superman/Justice League series. In addition to being a more accurate show title, "Metropolis" would also permit the show to detach itself from being a Superman-focused series to a more general DC Comics one.

Just me yacking away. But honestly, do you people expect the CW/WB to discard the SV Universe once they wrap the show up? Hell no, we're going to have a spin-off or two.

Thanks for that. Well, Doomsday isn't that big in these photo, I think they can actually pull it off, with the technology we have these days, it shouldn't be hard for the CW to pull this off.

As for changing the title, pros and cons to this, people don't like change, some people grew to love the show as Smallville, and I believe changing the title to Metropolis somehow gives me a picture of the Lois and Clark shows back in the day (back in the day meaning the one with Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain) we do not want to forget that this show is all about Clark's Trials in becoming Superman, if we changed the name then it would just be another remake of the old shows, where's the originality from that. This is only my opinion anyway..

I would definitely love to see more of this show, but the only question in mind is how the heck are they going to bring Lex back if they do decide to have more seasons? This is the ultimate question, I mean I really hope if they bring back Lex, it still Michael Rossenbum, come on this guy was made for this part! I have not seen any shows that he's in or movies? Have you guys, it questions why he wanted out when this is actually one of the best things that happened for his career..:redface:

You can post stuff from K-site only if they're the source of the spoiler.

From those who still haven't worked it out, Dan Turpin, the new character they're introducing in Episode 812, is the human form of Darkseid.

Because of the sheer magnitude of the New Gods storyline, and Darkseid, I think we can safely assume Season 9 is going ahead. There is no way they can do Darkseid, the New Gods, Legion of Doom and Doomsday in only 8 episodes.

I really, really hope we're getting Wonder Woman. It would be absolute perfection, and the perfect spin-off project.

I seriously believe that the episodes they air every Thursday isn't long enough, they do such a good job of cramming everything to an hour an episode every Thursday, that you wish the episode was longer, the Superman stories are so long and there's so much other things that go on that they can't even show, it sucks how they have to do this...

Why not? Because the show's title (Smallville) doesn't exclusively refer to the town, it refers to Clark's beginnings, his pre-Superman days. Now, if they want to start a new show and call it Metropolis, and put Clark in the costume and etc., then I'd be game for that. Even if they keep the same cast and literally change nothing about the show, you don't just re-name it. That just isn't done in the television medium.

How us crazy Brits do things? :confused:

Enterprise was renamed Star Trek: Enterprise (wasn't 8 years but I'm sure there are loads of examples, most of which are better than this one)

The 'crazy Brits' was in reference to how you always use the term 'Yanks' in a close derogatory sense. But I suppose in this case I should have said 'Europeans', as you and Spirited aren't from the same country.

And Enterprise isn't a great example of what Spirited is suggesting. From what I understand, Enterprise was re-named because of low ratings in an effort to get more people interested because of the 'Star Trek' banner. That's not the case with Smallville, which (for a cable show) has had pretty good ratings for its entire span. Also, Enterprise was re-named after its second season. People had just started getting used to the show when they re-named it. When Smallville debuted I was 13 years old. I'm 20 now; I've matured along with Clark and the gang.

I think it's possible we'll see WW eventually (probably not this season, it's busy enough as it is) as there shouldn't be any licensing issues on the character as there are with Batman.

Actually I'm still surprised that they never used Green Lantern in the show.

Probably because Green Lantern would require a huge budget to really work, and there's not that much overlap between Superman's world and Green Lantern's outside the Justice League.

I don't think so. Dan Turpin is an established cop character from the comics. He starts out as hating superheroes and vigilantes but eventually becomes friends with Superman. Smallville is having him appear.
In the comics, there is currently a plot going on where Turpin is possessed by Darkseid. That plotline literally started this month so its unlikely they will incorporate that into Smallville. They were talking about that comics plot in the Kryptonsite thread, so that may be what you read and thought that was happening in the show.

Fair point. However, the full script to 'Bulletproof' temporarily leaked this morning (via non-hotlinkable flash), it seems like the show is already adapting the comic's new storyline.

Basically, without any major spoilers, Turpin and Hamilton are new recurring characters. I'd say Turpin is potentially a new regular for Season 9. As for Dr Hamilton, he's the new Justice League medic. His scenes are really just an introduction to his character, but he's now Clark's go-to science guy from Episode 12 onwards.

My new "completely absurd but makes sense in my mind" theory: SV will be going a bit Stargate. I think the New Gods aren't on the same plane of existence as our universe, so they require a vessel to combine with. However, the vessel is still able to have some control over their actions, so the New Gods need to find people who are like minded to them, and make a kind of partnership.

This would put everything into perspective. "X", who stole the blue crystal from Tess, isn't another person, it's Granny Goodness a.k.a. the New God who is inside Tess. She stole the crystal from herself. This theory would also explain Tess' major moodswings, and also why she's recruiting young, able soldiers - she's finding like-minded vessels for the other New Gods to merge with.

When Turpin's son inevitably dies trying to emulate The Good Samaritan, that's when Tess comes in and makes her proposition. And Turpin accepts.

[Tolkien]

Great episode all around. Although, my biggest problem was with Clark's apparel. It's the Daily f**king Planet for crying out loud and here's Clark walking around the place wearing a T-Shirt and a pair of f**king Jeans. That place is supposed to be a professional work environment for crying out loud. Wouldn't his bosses grill his ass about how to dress? Tess isn't his only boss, Clark is just a lowly reporter now, there should be management up the ass over him. Where are they? The writers really need to make the man dress a lot better than he does now.

Well, not quite. I saw what you're referring to, but there were huge blacked-out areas of text all over the script. You could catch a few names and maybe a very basic premise, but nothing more.

Regardless, is anybody else wishing that PS3 took over the show after Season 5 (the last great Al/Miles season IMO)? Because after how amazing Season 8 has been so far, I certainly am.

It was also 36 pages long, and marked "pink" at the top, so it was the 3rd draft, and most likely the whole episode.

[Tornado]

Ah, yeah I didn't bother to read past the first page or two. A couple of seasons ago, I wouldn't have cared. But now that the show is actually clicking on all cylinders, my philosophy toward the show has changed. I used to really only be interested in the development of the characters and their relationships; since the show never seemed to carry a plot past one episode (other than finales/premieres), the actual story of the episodes were of course important, but they didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

But now that the show has introduced new characters and is actually telling great stories, my interest has been revived yet again. This is making the wait for Lost and BSG all that much easier to handle.

[Spirited Away]

Sky1 in the UK is broadcasting Caprica in a few weeks, so your BSG hunger will be slightly satisfied (as long as you know how to Torrent).

[Tornado]

I have means other than torrent through which I'll be watching that.

[Alien]

Great episode all around. Although, my biggest problem was with Clark's apparel. It's the Daily f**king Planet for crying out loud and here's Clark walking around the place wearing a T-Shirt and a pair of f**king Jeans. That place is supposed to be a professional work environment for crying out loud. Wouldn't his bosses grill his ass about how to dress? Tess isn't his only boss, Clark is just a lowly reporter now, there should be management up the ass over him. Where are they? The writers really need to make the man dress a lot better than he does now.
Not really, as long as he's in the office then they might be okay with him wearing whatever he wants but they might "grill his ass" however about interviewing certain people in jeans and t-shirt. It all depends on how stuck up the bosses are. If he's interviewing a kid off the street then they might respond better to a guy in jeans and t-shirt to an authority figure in a suit.

[Tolkien]

True, I get that. And I get that this is not the original story, that it's a modern adaptation, but I guess I'm looking into it too much because I'm used to the pretty boy Clark Kent when he's in the office. I mean, it's supposed to be his secret identity, right? And at this point, every single person in his life knows him by his Farm Boy status, and not his nerdy/weak persona.

[Spirited Away]

I just skimmed through the whole ep, he's wearing a red designer shirt throughout all the Daily Planet office scenes, except for the last two ones, but as it's after hours I doubt anyone would care.

PS3 confirm that Doomsday - in comic book form - does attack the wedding. And Lana is on a mission, which reinforces the rumours about her having a very action packed 5-episode send off.

It's so obvious what happens in the final few seconds... Clark jumps into the air and flies after Chloniac.

[JheyDC]

^ Thanks for posting that.

So, we all know that Doomsday attacks during the wedding, and Lana on a mission. So I guess we can pretty much put together that Lana and Oliver are working together on a mission? This must be Lana and Oliver's secret... I guess we won't see those two together after all...(crossing fingers) :eek:

Thoughts...

[Tornado]

It's so obvious what happens in the final few seconds... Clark jumps into the air and flies after Chloniac.

That seems pretty unlikely.

I can't wait for tonight's episode. :)

[JheyDC]

Tonight's episode should be the gate opener for our Superhero friend...please don't let us down Mairzee Almas...:eek:

[Spirited Away]

That seems pretty unlikely.
How so? PS3, Erica Durance, Allison Mack and the various spoiler sites have been saying since the start of the season the "no flights" rule has been/might be dropped.

[Tornado]

How so? PS3, Erica Durance, Allison Mack and the various spoiler sites have been saying since the start of the season the "no flights" rule has been/might be dropped.

Clark may fly, I'm not ruling that out (although I don't think that would happen until later on in this season at the earliest). I would be very surprised if we saw Chloe/Brainiac fly though. It would just seem very unnatural.

And besides, it's just natural for me to oppose you at this point. ;)

[Spirited Away]

Well, considering what just happened...

And spoilers for 'Legion' already confirm Chloniac is more powerful than the original Brainiac. So powerful, Superman has to send the Legion back in time to sort it out.

[unity768]

As long as the producers make a likable Jimmy Olsen and a Clark who embraces his destiny, this could very well be the best season of Smallville since season 5. Chalk up another 10.0 for this weeks episode titled, "Identity." It is the best episode of the season, and next week's looks very very intriguing (finally we see Kara back). IMO the last time I've seen back to back 10.0's was season three's two episode arc regarding Lex's memory wipe/Morgan Edge's return.

Smallville Season 8
Odyssey 7/10
Plastique 8/10
Toxic 5/10
Instinct 7/10
Committed 6/10
Prey 10/10
Identity 10/10

[JheyDC]

Still gotta wait an hour and a half for the show here in California...

[Spirited Away]

lol, i'm watching the ep right now, and i'm from the UK! God bless broadband.

[Neverending]

So far this is definitely the best season of Smallville. It's moving quickly and getting to the point. Gough & Millar leaving was the best thing to ever happen to this show.

[Spirited Away]

I concur wholeheartedly.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I agree. Them leaving was for the best. Now the show actually features... character development :eek: !

The new episode was pretty good. I really liked the ending. Chloe being evil is kind of creepy. 8/10

[Tornado]

Wow...

You know, has there ever been another show that had its best season so long after the pilot? Not only did I think Identity was the best episode of the season to this point, but quite easily one of the best of the series. I was pretty excited that Clark finally caught on to one of Superman's greatest traits: he's not only around to save lives and prevent disasters, but also to create hope in the world. And to see Clark finally realize that when Oliver was standing on top of the building and everyone around him was staring up in delight, well... I think it's safe to say Clark's future ideals and personality are more or less set in stone, finally. :)

I gotta admit I was pretty nervous when Rosenbaum left the series; while I think the show would probably be even better with him instead of Tess, the new show runners have certainly made do.

Also, I love that they're making more use of Clark's hero theme. I think before this season they'd played it... maybe three or four times, tops. Now it seems like it's in every other episode this season. Boo-yah.

A

Next week looks awesome.

[JheyDC]

Wow Wow Wow!

This episode, I gotta tell you guys...it gave me goosebumps...The scenes with Clark and Jimmy were awesome. Especially the scene where Jimmy is at Clarks house and pin points Clark because of his clothing in his family picture..I was cracking up..those were really great. You can see it in Jimmy's eyes that he was very astound and it felt like he was a little boy in a candy store..I was Lauging where they both go to Cloe and Jimmy's like "you beat me here"...man..well done Mairzee Almas..

Clark is finally embracing his destiny and realizing that what his friends have been saying are actually true, the world needs a hero. Great scene when Oliver was on top of that building next to the USA flag.

And Chloe, they are really making her fulfill the role of Braniac. Wow.
Another great one.

:rolleyes: Thank you, Thank you 5/5

Kara: "Welcome to HELL." Can't wait

[Tornado]

Alright guys, since it seems to be that we as a forum are more or less unanimous in thinking Season 8 is one of (if not the, in some of our mind's) the best seasons of the series, how would you rank the episodes thusfar? Personally, it's a little tough for me as four of the seven have really impressed me. But this is probably how I'd go:

1. Identity
2. Prey
3. Committed
4. Odyssey
5. Plastique
6. Instinct
7. Toxic

Also, here's the official description for the tenth episode - Bride:

IT’S CHLOE AND JIMMY’S DREAM WEDDING DAY BUT TWO UNEXPECTED GUESTS CRASH THE PARTY — Chloe (Allison Mack) is excited that she’s marrying Jimmy (Aaron Ashmore) but is worried that Davis (Sam Witwer) will stop the wedding. Meanwhile, Oliver (Justin Hartley) tells Clark (Tom Welling) he thinks he’s discovered where Lex is hiding and takes off to Cuba to confront him. However, when he arrives, Oliver is shocked to find Lana (Kristin Kreuk) instead. Clark and Lois (Erica Durance) grow closer but chaos ensues when Doomsday crashes the wedding and tries to kidnap Chloe. Jeannot Szwarc directed the episode written by Al Septien & Turi Meyer (#3T7460).

I don't think I've been this excited about the show since I heard about the pilot, honestly.

[Spirited Away]

Although she's only contracted for 5 episodes, I have a feeling they'll be keeping Lana alive, so Kristin Kreuk can return for one or two episodes next season.

And I think it's bizarre Ollie and Lana are being teamed together (spoilers from Episode 12) - I don't recall ever seeing them talk to one another.

[Spirited Away]

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/10/31/smallville-and-supernatural-on-the-rise/7337

Agreed on both accounts. Personally, I hope when Lana comes back this year that's it. Maybe she can show up again in the series finale, but frankly I don't think she fits in with this season or the direction the show is moving. This is all about Clark being pro-active and moving forward, and Lana isn't going to help him do that.

I don't know about the next few weeks, but since they seem to be thrilled with the show this year I'm sure they'll give it a ninth season as long as Welling is game. In my opinion, if Welling is done then the show is too. They can make a GA spin-off or something if they want, but it'd be hard to run this show without Welling or Rosenbaum.

[Spirited Away]

They're going to need to announce it sooner or later. They're currently shooting episode 12 or 13, and are probably finalising the scripts for episode 15 or 16 (assuming they're on a similar schedule to last season, if not ahead).

That leaves only a few episodes left to wrap the series up, if it is in-deed the final season. So we'll probably know if we're getting another season after Episode 10 broadcasts.

[Spirited Away]

When Clark said "not in this lifetime", PS3 gave us the biggest clue: who wants to bet that Clark dies in the season finale, at the hands of Doomsday? Like in the comics, he is reborn, and that's the "lifetime" where he dons the tights.

[Tornado]

You're really not a fan of the edit button, eh? ;)

I think that's possible, but it all depends on if Welling is coming back or not. If he is, then your idea sounds pretty plausible. But if not, then it seems like we'll get a proper ending to his story. These producers aren't too bashful about the costume, so I wouldn't be too surprised if we, at the very least, get a shirt rip from him.

hey, I'm just popping in to say that right now I'm about halfway through season 2, and I just saw the episode where Christopher Reeve guest stars.

[Tolkien]

Great episode, saw it but didn't get a chance to comment until now. I loved that quick glimps of GA standing there in the blue suit and red cape. Totally awesome future reference. Especially Clark's reaction to it at the end, lol. Chloe on the other hand, pretty dark of her to take him out like that. I really think Brainiac is alive in her somehow. We need him to return, he's an important character. A major one.

[EnderDeschain]

I had the last episode Tivo'd and just now got to watch it. Jiminy christmas, that was awesome. I agree that it was the best of the season, and it's the best that I've seen so far but I only started watching around the end of season four. I can't really say anything about it that you guys haven't said already. The standout moments were definitely pretty much all of Jimmy's putting-it-together scenes, and mostly Clark's reaction to the crowd. There was something unspeakably cool about this episode, it actually made me grin a couple times. I can't believe how much I'm digging it, it used to be probably my least looked forward to of my weekly shows. It's storming that list now. The little conversation about the cape at the end was funny as ****.

The current showrunners have been with the show for a long time. It's just that Gough & Millar had final say.

[Darth Maul]

Great episode tonight, Davis had some more crazy revelations tonight. Things are turning out nicely this season.

[Neverending]

My favorite thing about this season is how quickly things are moving. With Gough & Millar we would have had two or three filler episodes by now. So far...we haven't had any to be honest. The show is staying on track. Even the Green Arrow origin episode was important caused it established the GA-Tess relationship.

[Darth Maul]

yup, im really liking the actress who plays tess, shes fitting in very nicely.

I couldn't help but laugh when Lois approached Doomsday. It was weird when she calls him son when they're the same age range. I loved that scene where Doomsday stabbed himself then all the pieces scattered all over the place.

For sure I thought Kara was a goner.

Great episode, looking forward to next week's Abyss

8/8

Yeah, you'd think Lex would've told her everything there is to know about Clark. Goes to show, he didn't trust her as much.

And kudos to Lois getting a raise. LOL, if only she knew what she got herself into...

hey, here I am again just to say that the second season's finale was pretty stupid. Once Clark and Lana get together he screws things up again. Then he puts on that ring and drives away into the sunset? Kind of stupid, also how did the baby die? I mean it was just a couple of cells really, is that even possible?

[JheyDC]

^ are you talking about Lana's childhood friend?

[JheyDC]

Since this Season is evolving into one of many greatest seasons of Smallville, I can't help think, If Gough & Millar had left many season's ago, then I believe we would be further in with Clark's history. We would probably be beyond his confused stage and would probably have his alter ego by now. More Legion/Justice League action without loosing the concept of the whole show.

The season 3 premiere is pretty badass, and the events of season 2's finale and season 3's premiere (really divided into 2 episodes) has an overarching effect throughout the entire season. Brace yourself, as you'll now embark on IMO the best season of Smallville, highlighting an intriguing relationship between Lex and Lionel.

[EnderDeschain]

When I saw the previews last week I sorta groaned, thinking this would be an episode where he spends the whole goddamn thing in the Phantom Zone and nothing really relevant happens. Boy, was I wrong. Another kick-ass episode, if they're not careful this might become a habit.

Not only did it further the development of Davis into Doomsday and Chloe into whatever she's gonna be, it brought Kara back and had some cool Green Arrow stuff too. I didn't used to like him much, but he's grown on me. Even Tess is becoming interesting. When the season started I thought she was just gonna be some ridiculous wanna-be Lex knockoff, which she still kinda is I guess but it's working anyhow. I wanted to cheer when Kara finally reached out and grabbed Clark's hand, I thought for sure Clark was gonna get sucked in and she'd be deserted there and that's how she'd leave the show. When she came back with him I thought killer, she's back. I shoulda known better, that she'd leave anyway. But that's sort of an understandable decision for the show to make. Yes, I dig Supergirl as much as the next guy, probably more (I have a tattoo of her on my arm, two posters of her, and a ****-ton of her comics) but in the context of this show having someone who's pretty much the exact same as Clark hanging around would take away from it. I groaned last season when they brought in the Martian Manhunter 'cuz even he's way too similar, his fire vulnerability notwithstanding (is that one word or two?). I hope he stays on the periphery for the rest of this season. The Justice League being around is a whole other thing 'cuz they're all a step below Clark and they know it, they're all completely different in their own ways.

Anyway, I will just say once again that it's amazing what a drastic change this show has made this season, and how much friggin better it is. "Do I tell you how to shoot your arrows?" made me laugh. I laugh, I gasp, I get excited, all of that is **** that I can't remember really doing in the last couple seasons but have done almost every episode this one. With the exception of maybe "Toxic".

[insaneMoViEgoer]

is anyone else glad that they've finally stopped using pop songs in the episodes and using more original music?

[Darth Maul]

[Spirited Away]

They only ever use pop songs during party scenes, and there weren't any.

Don't jinx it! lol! Anyhoo, I think they did but it probably wasn't noticeable.

As far as the Smallville's use of real songs go, my 1# has to go to Metallica's "Frantic" during at Season 3 premiere episode, during the bank robbery at the start of the episode.
There are probably others I like, but I can't think of any at the moment.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

This episode kicked a**. This how Smallville should be and I'm so glad things are back on track for the show.

10/10

[Tornado]

The title for 814 was just announced: REQUIEM.

Sounds cool. This is Kristin Kreuk's final episode. Combine that with the title, and I frankly wouldn't be shocked if she is killed or something. Also, apparently the show is introducing The Toyman/Winslow Schott which could be interesting.

[Spirited Away]

It's quite apparent, especially from the spoilers, that Lana actually died in Veritas. Since then, she's been on borrowed time, and only the Brainiac inside of her is keeping her alive. I think Requiem will be when she finally lets go.

If the above is correct, Chloe will have powers permanently if she wants to stick around.

[Tornado]

Also, I've been doing a little bit of speculating on the season finale (thankfully it's still a ways off). Since Season 3, the season premieres and finales have always tied into each other:

Season 3 - Clark running from Jor-el, and then finally being taken in Covenant
Season 4 - Clark finding the first stone, and then uniting them in Commencement
Season 5 - Clark fighting the disciples of Zod, and then running into Zod himself in Vessel
Season 6 - Clark released the zoners, and then fought Bizarro in Phantom
Season 7 - Didn't follow the trend

So, for the sake of conversation I'm going to assume they'll follow their own trend in Season 8 as well. Clark died, or at the very least came close to dying, in Odyssey. I think we're going to see a full-out brawl between him and Doomsday in the finale, culminating in the deaths of both of them. Maybe the Manhunter will take Doomsday and send him hurtling into space or something, otherwise he would just come back to life.

The Season 9 premiere could start with his funeral, and he'd come back to life in the second or third episode.

If the above is correct, Chloe will have powers permanently if she wants to stick around.

How'd you come to that conclusion? I'm not saying it's impossible or that I even really disagree with it, but how do you figure Lana still has some Brainiac inside her?

[Spirited Away]

but how do you figure Lana still has some Brainiac inside her?
Leaked shooting script confirmed Lex arranged for her kidnapping: they took her after Clark killed Brainiac, forced her to make the "Goodbye" video tape, and then did everything they could to stop Brainiac from taking over. They also stopped her from dying, however in 'Bride', Green Arrow finds Lana and rescues her.

[bbf2]

I can't believe they made such a good episode out of such a lame-sounding and overdone concept (Zod's wife possesses Lois.) When I heard the description I thought for sure it would be horrible. Durance even did a good job as Zod's wife, especially since that plot was mainly used to further the Doomsday story.

As a comics fan I love that they're using the "can't die the same way twice" thing for Doomsday. I can't wait to see Doomsday in full in "Bride," I hope it won't be a disappointment.

[Art_of_crime]

i'm not holding my breath. this show never delivers what I was hoping for

[Alien]

It's a bit of a jump going from stabed in the hart/chest to my skin can't get cut so that can't kill me again.

Also when we for saw Lois after she was taken over in the Daily Planet at first I thought she was Mercy till Mercy walked in on her. They had the same hair.

Jonathan. I've been watching a bunch of episodes from Seasons 3 and 4 the past couple of days, and I miss the father/son dynamic the show used to have. I mean, it was inevitably going to grow out of it whether Jonathan died or not, but I still miss it.

[Tornado]

Well, that was pretty ****ing amazing. That's it, Clark is basically Superman without the suit now. I don't think this was the best episode of the season, but it wasn't far behind.

A-

And WHAT?! I can't believe they showed Doomsday in the ****ing preview!!! It's going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong wait for next Thursday!

[Spirited Away]

It also confirms Lois and Clark are just above to kiss when Lana arrives. And Lana gets hit by debris when Doomsday attacks. Doomsday also gives Jimmy a direct blow, and with Chloe crouched down at the very end with tears in her eyes, this quite possibly confirms a gigantic spoiler I was PMed on KS.

[EnderDeschain]

And WHAT?! I can't believe they showed Doomsday in the ****ing preview!!! It's going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong wait for next Thursday!


They did? Man, I'm glad I missed the preview. I intentionally try to avoid spoilerish ****, in fact your little blacked out part is the only one I've looked at in this thread ever, I think. I'm insanely curious as to what he's gonna look like, but I don't wanna know until it's time to know.

Once again, another absolutely ****ing stellar episode. This is amazing. Is what they did with Chloe permanent? 'Cuz that's such a radical change in the status quo, every since I've watched it's been one way and now it's gonna be another. That ending was friggin awesome, too, with the Fortress. "Doomsday is coming." GAH, I can't wait for next episode. Maybe next week I'll stop saying I can't believe how good this show's become every week, but I think this week I'll just say it one more time. I can't believe how good this show's become.

I'm sooo with you on this. I was really pissed when Jonathan died. But if an actor is gonna leave, you either "kill them off", or they "leave".

Still, he was definitely one of the best characters in the early seasons.

Never thought I'd hear that line on the show. Can't wait for next week, doomsday looks, interesting.

[Tornado]

Maybe next week I'll stop saying I can't believe how good this show's become every week, but I think this week I'll just say it one more time. I can't believe how good this show's become.

I completely agree. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that this is probably my favorite show on television right now. That's a thought I really haven't had since before I found "Lost" and "BSG."

wait a second.
wait just one darn flipping minute here.
THAT LOOKS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!
I might be one of the most cynical, skeptical and overcritical people on the internet, and I'm really pleased with how that looks!

[true fan11212]

What the hell? This episode didn't even come on in New York. Football came on instead!

[Art_of_crime]

Same thing happens to me during baseball season.

[JheyDC]

And we have another outstanding episode. Was anyone else freaked out when Chloe saw Jimmy without a face? That was freaky. Also that scene where Clark takes Chloe to the Fortress, his decision in the end kind of pinched my heart a bit. So emotional there for a second.

So I was wondering since Chloe's memory of Clark having super powers are wiped out, will her memories of Green Arrow as well, I mean Oliver uses Chloe on some of his missions, I think that's going to be a little complicated. So it's either Chloe once again witnesses Clark's powers or she remembers it. I mean, Clark can't do all the Super Hero stuff on his own, Chloe is always there to help him.

The Fortress is back but now is being taken over. You would think Clark should be connected to the Fortress somehow.

Thursday, I can't wait. Congratulations Smallville on another great Episode.

:)

[Neverending]

So I was wondering since Chloe's memory of Clark having super powers are wiped out, will her memories of Green Arrow as well

Of course. Those memories are connected to Clark. And I'm sure he let him know.

[Art_of_crime]

I would say congrats Smallville on finally delivering what I have been waiting 8 years to see.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I might be one of the most cynical, skeptical and overcritical people on the internet, and I'm really pleased with how that looks!

I think that title is reserved for Tard ;) .


Anyway, this might very well be the most epic and well done season of Smallville ever! I'm not joking. No stupid Lana love triangles or Clark whining about Lana or some other girl. This season is what I've been wanting from Smallville for years. This last episode was terrific. It's a shame about Chloe in the end but it is necessary. And the last scene with Clark and Jor-El made me jump up and down. This made my week. Now all I need is for Clone Wars to deliver tonight and my week is complete :) .

I give this last episode a 9/10

And they weren't kidding when they said Doomsday looks like his comic book self. Finally, we will see Doomsday in live action :D !!!

you made a pile of good points, but that one in particular is one I'm behind 100%
Clark's love life has made this show more Dawson's creek than .... well I can't think of a clever ending to that right now, but you get the idea.

[supersaiyan55]

episode 15 infamous spoilers kryptonsite.com

E! Online's Watch With Kristin also intimated a rumor of something that seems to be coming to fruition - Clark will reveal his secret to the world. How's he going to get out of that one? Who knows...
- Lois Lane (Erica Durance) returns in this episode.
- Please do not repost this on other websites without a link to

Episode 15 is titled Infamous and features the return of Tori Spelling as Linda Lake.

That's pretty interesting when taken with the post above.

[Dan's_Gurl]

What the hell? This episode didn't even come on in New York. Football came on instead!
saturday at 6 i believe it will be aired on cw11 (though you may want to double check that, but it's around that time). Very happy i live in jersey and get both new york and philly stations. but i still missed this week's episode. guess i'll have to dl it since it sounds good.

The worst part about the wait is the fact Bride is probably going to be all kinds of epic and will end on a handful of cliffhangers, and then we have to wait a couple of months for the next batch of episodes. :(

[Tornado]

http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/five-reasons-why-smallville-is-24244.aspx?pollid=3001138&answer=3003813#poll3001138

I'm glad the media, along with the fans, are picking up on the fact that the show is far better than it has ever been. Here's hoping the CW realizes it too, starts promoting the show like they should be anyway, and signs Welling for a ninth (and final) season.

[JheyDC]

Thanks for posting that Tornado. Great Hype. So from all the hype, I don't think CW even needs to advertise the show. Smallville is getting all the hype by word of mouth. I think the less people know about how the show is doing, the more interested they get.

That's just me though...:redface:

[Spirited Away]

Major spoiler alert!

I think it's only fair I post this, because I feel selfish keeping it hidden to myself. A few weeks ago, the complete shooting script to Bride leaked, and some lucky sods managed to read the whole thing before it was forcefully taken down. One of these people privately messaged a bunch of us some major spoilers: I took it with a pinch of salt, but it's now becoming more and more apparent he was telling the truth.

I don't want to spoil the shocking twist completely, just because, so I have decided to be quite vague. Please don't read unless you want to be spoilt...

A major character is killed off.
That is all I'm going to say.

[Tornado]

I am.... so tempted to read that, but I just can't. If the episode was weeks away I probably would, but I'm going to do my absolute best to hold out the three days. Ugh... three days. :(

Here's hoping it says "Clark flies!" :D (Please don't confirm or deny, anybody.)

Answer me this though: Do you think the general Smallville fan population will be happy with the above spoiler?

[unity768]

Hopefully this episode delivers, it's being hyped up by a lot of fans here and over at Kryptonsite. This kind of buzz hasn't been here since season 5's Reckoning, and I believe fans received it with mixed reactions, though I thought it was uniformly one of best episodes of the series.

[Spirited Away]

It could potentially be the biggest uproar in the DC Comics universe since George Clooney's nipples. Potentially. Although I can imagine more than a handful of KryptonSiters jumping for joy.

[Tornado]

Agreed. There hasn't been this much anticipation by the fanbase as a whole for a single episode since Reckoning as you said. And I remember the wait for that episode, every Smallville-related forum (here, the Hype, K-Site, etc.) was jacked before it aired.

I thought it was very well-made, but I still miss Jonathan and wish Lana would have died in his place.

[unity768]

haha - the bat nipples

[unity768]

Did Clark ever tell Lana about that little time warp to save her life?

[Tornado]

It could potentially be the biggest uproar in the DC Comics universe since George Clooney's nipples. Potentially. Although I can imagine more than a handful of KryptonSiters jumping for joy.

Oh, great. :(

I hope whatever they have planned is being done for the purpose of the story, and isn't being done to boost ratings or something. As much as I love Season 8, I'm going to have a hard time watching the show if they kill off Lois or something like that. (Like I said, please don't confirm or deny/alter.)

[Tornado]

Did Clark ever tell Lana about that little time warp to save her life?

Not on screen, but I doubt he would tell her that in offscreen-ville either. She'd probably feel guilty for living in place of Jonathan.

[Spirited Away]

That's what her final 5 episodes are for, he can tell her. KK would never come back, so I hope the writers remembered this.

[Tornado]

All I'm pulling for is that when she shows up again on Thursday Clark doesn't start falling for her again. He doesn't necessarily need to be with Lois at all this season (despite how much I'd like him to), but there's no need to take one step back before taking two forward. I think he is, but we need to see some confirmation come Thursday that he is over her as far as a romantic relationship goes anyway.

[Darth Maul]

I am.... so tempted to read that, but I just can't. If the episode was weeks away I probably would, but I'm going to do my absolute best to hold out the three days. Ugh... three days. :(

thurs, is. Almost here u can wait LOL I'm dying too.

[Tornado]

:funny: Are you drunk Maul?

It's been a while since I've been this hyped up for an episode. I would say... probably Arrival (because of the Fortress, and I assumed Clark would start his training) or Reckoning (because we knew there would be a major character death) is probably the last time the wait has been this hard.

And if Bride is gold, the wait for Legion is probably going to kill me. :)

[Angelixx]

ok i have to admit that for a long while now this show has been dead to me when i used to be a big fan when it first started. (the lanadrama was just too much for me and the epic waiting for clark to finally haul ass and move towards the tights was killing me)

but honestly the episodes thus far this season have totally brought me back and i am SO pumped for this episode. way to go smallville, you're rocking my WORLD!
kinda sucks that i got sucked back in completely just before the hiatus though. cruel world :(

[Darth Maul]

[Tornado]

Ausiello Files has revealed something very interesting;

Question: Please tell me there's going to be a 9th season of Smallville after what is possibly one of the best seasons so far? -- Joanne

Ausiello: I hear The CW will likely take the don't-fix-if-not-broke approach and keep its Thursday line-up intact next season. (Attention Smallville fans: Scroll down to the bottom of this column and watch an exclusive preview of Chloe and Jimmy's apocalyptic nuptials!) In related news, there was a wild rumor going around last week that Supernatural received a green light for a fifth season. The network quickly squashed it, but, man, for about 30 minutes last Monday I thought Christmas had come early for all you Supe Nazis.

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

As much as I'd love to see a Season 9, they really need to make sure they can get the cast back. If I'm not mistaken, Allison, Erica, Aaron, and Justin are all signed for at least another year, but Tom's contract expires at the end of this season.

But if they do go ahead with the full cast for a ninth, then that needs to be it with proper closure - tights (in the finale anyway), regular flight, Lex needs to make a return, etc. They need to wrap it up and be done with it. I'm not sure going ahead with "Metropolis" would be the best idea; since that's basically what the show is now, what more would a new show bring to the table? The show was conceived through the idea that we didn't really know much about Superman's childhood; now that we do, the stories the show would tell in a new series have already been told in the comics, films, Lois and Clark, the animated series, etc.

I'm definitely not against a final send-off in the form of a movie, though. :)

[Alien]

So is Supernatural coming back or not?

[JheyDC]

Countdown for BRIDE:

32 Hours to go in CA

[Spirited Away]

So is Supernatural coming back or not?
Probably is. IIRC, everybody has 5 season contracts, and that's how many seasons the show was pitched for.

I think it's safe to assume Supernatural will be coming back, though it's uncertain what show it'll be teamed up with. Something DC Comics related though, perhaps a Justice League spin-off if TW doesn't renew his contract.

[Dan's_Gurl]

^what he said. it looks good. the ratings have been doing really well this year, and everyone is signed for 5 (apparently the producers don't want it to run past that). can't say for sure but there's a good chance.

[Tornado]

Countdown for BRIDE:

32 Hours to go in CA

A little under 27 hours now. :)

Dude I cant wait, I wonder how they're going to do his intro? like him shifting into doomsday or just doomsday busting through a wall! I also wanna see how he sounds :P

Yeah, it's gonna be nuts. I'm really anxious to see what they do with the cliffhanger, as it sounds like they've got something pretty big planned. Please be flight, please be flight, please be flight...

Wonder what'd happen if the episode was cancelled 'til next week...? ;)

I don't even want to think about it. The wait just for this episode has been ridiculous; I can't remember the last time a week has gone by this slowly for me.

[Darth Maul]

A little over 18 hours!!! :D

[sshuttari]

Okay I've been hearing alot how great sesason 8 has been for Smallville.

I'm pretty darn surprised, because I stopped watching it last season half way in.

Now I think I should have stuck with it.

I hear the last episode of the mid season airs this Thursday. So hopefully I'll get to catch up with all of this season episode this winter. Until they start airing new episodes early next year.

[Tornado]

Out of curiosity, what was the last episode you watched out of Season 7?

[sshuttari]

dp

[sshuttari]

I remember Clark and Supergirl having trust issues, and Clark thought she was the bad guy and Supergirl felt she couldn't trust Clark.

Somewhere between there Lana and Clark finally had sex in a barn and Lana had superpowerrs? Chloe came afterwards and I remember laughing because I thought the scene was pretty funny because all three felt really awkward talking about it.

[Tornado]

Ah, alright. That was Wrath, the seventh episode of the season.

[JheyDC]

A little over 18 hours!!! :D

12 and half hours to go! :omg:

[Art_of_crime]

I hope he does not get the s kicked out of him and come back with a mullet

[JheyDC]

Well by the looks of the Stills that were posted of Doomsday, he looks really good. I just hope that what we are expecting of CW, will pull through. I'd hate to be disappointed.

Some things I'm looking forward to for Bride
- Fight Scene with Clark and Doomsday
- Doomsday in Action (finally)
- A certain someone flies (I will not mention names, I might jinx it) wink wink nudge nudge kick kick ;)
- Lana's return - I know, I know, but I just want to see the chemistry betweek Clark and her. See if it changed and to see how Lois takes all of it
- I want to see what Lana's role is in this, I mean they brought her back and everything, there has to be an explanation. Also it might play a very big part in Clarks' life being it her last 5 episodes.
- And who the heck SPIRITED AWAY is talking about in his Major Spoiler Alert

This is what I'm looking forward to. I hope CW covers most of this up. I really don't want to be disappointed.

Come on CW! I'm dying for this episode, please make it good! :redface:

[sshuttari]

Ah, alright. That was Wrath, the seventh episode of the season.

Is it worth finishing the season up?

Or should I just skip to the eighth season.

[JheyDC]

Sshuttari, you should definitely finish the season up, just so you're not missing any, just a suggestion, there was a lot of stuff that happened in Season 7. You know how sometimes CW reconnects from previous Seasons, You don't want to be left out of anything.

There were a couple of great episodes from last season I think you would have enjoyed. I'll let you figure it out for yourself.

[Neverending]

I hear the last episode of the mid season airs this Thursday.

Wait...is this really the last episode till next year? :(

[unity768]

yeah

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Is it worth finishing the season up?

Just skip to Season 8. Everything in Season 7 is garbage.

[unity768]

I thought the early episodes of season 7 were really good..then the entire Veritas plot came in and i was bored (exception is Descent) till the finale, which was kinda disappointing.

[Tornado]

Is it worth finishing the season up?

Or should I just skip to the eighth season.

Don't listen to King of Skid Row. For every problem with Season 7, there was at least one really good thing they did with the show. Now, the quality of the second half of Season 7 is, in my opinion, pretty subpar in comparison with the rest of the series. But a lot of stuff happens that you're not going to want to miss. I would recommend finishing the season and then jumping into the far, far, far superior Season 8 before the show comes back in 2009.

Also, 6 hours and 48 minutes... :D

[unity768]

I think Season 8 is on course to be the best season of the series by a wide margin:

Season 1 - B
Season 2 - A-
Season 3 - A-
Season 4 - B+
Season 5 - A-
Season 6 - B
Season 7 - B-
Season 8 (so far) - A

I thought season 6 was on track to be the best of the series , with; Zod, Arrow, Reunion, Fallout, Rage, Justice, LABYRINTH. Then it went sour with Clark whining about Lana and episodes where Lana is being stalked for the 10000 time. But your point is well taken, and I think the fact that Al and Miles are out might be my biggest hope for this season as it goes into January.

[unity768]

I agree you should def watch season 7 because you'll be confused about Lex, Chloe, etc

[King_of_Skid_Row]

This how I rank the seasons from 1- 10.

Season 1- 10
Season 2- 9
Season 3- 10
Season 4- 7
Season 5- 9
Season 6- 4
Season 7- 2

[unity768]

I can't give any specific grades because I just haven't seen the earlier seasons in a while. I might have to pull them off the dvd shelf this winter break. But this is how I would order them from memory.

Season 3
Season 2
Season 1
Season 5
Season 6
Season 7
Season 4

None of them are perfect but 3 is my favorite

Yes, what you and I said, where this Season is going right now, you can't afford to miss any episode. I believe every episode of Smallville is worth the watch, eventhough it's not what you expected.

considerably longer for me. I'll be taping it and watching it tomorrow or sunday.

I remember, back when I stopped watching Smallville with Season Three, I decided to watch everything else because of all the hyped. And boy, I wasn't sorry for ever watching the whole thing. So yeah, I know how excited you are.

[JheyDC]

yeah

Thought Legion was still on as the last episode for this year? I remember seeing a post somewhere??...:confused:

Ever since they put Lois on the show they've been jumping the shark. But this time around its been done effectively

Jump the Shark. They jumped the entire ocean with Season 7. But hey, at least their on track now. We've got writers with brains now.

it's gonna be a long 2 months :(

[unity768]

I'm not sure what I saw their at the end..but I had butterflies in my stomach watching Chloe's eyes go black while smiling I'll post a review up later, but this was the best episode of the season so far, and by far.

[Angelixx]

oh god i dont know if i can wait months for the next episode. **dies**

[unity768]

where the hell is tornado and everyone else!?

[Agent Deadpool]

Wow.

Just wow.

I cant even fully process how great this episode was but its nice to see an episode live up to and maybe even exceed expectations.

This show has improved so much this year that sometimes I cant even believe I am watching the same show as I did the last couple of seasons.

[Art_of_crime]

when did Erica Durance get so cute?
