Smallville

[Neverending]

Here's a great interview with Al Gough:

Smallville: Burning Questions Answered!
by Rich Sands

Is the Young Man of Steel poised to break Chloe's heart? Is Lex really dead? Even a week later, are you, like us, still processing what happened to, and with whom, and why, during Smallville's Season 5 finale? TV Guide went to cocreator Al Gough the day after the season-ender with our burning questions — and to seek clues about next season.

TV Guide: Smallville's season finales always leave all the characters in very bad situations.
Al Gough: It's become a tradition on the show and it harkens back to what was always fun about comic books. You can tell these stories that are spread out over a number of issues, but you always have a couple of points with great cliff-hangers where you didn't know what was going to happen next. We loved the idea of keeping people hanging, both the audience and the characters. It's sort of like the feeling we all had at the end of The Empire Strikes Back — "What, we have to wait three years?!" We also find that painting ourselves into these corners gives us a lot of energy going into the next season. It helps propel everything forward, rather than starting from a dead stop and trying to wind up again.

TV Guide: Do you know now how you are going to get yourself out of those corners? What is the challenge in writing a cliff-hanger?
Gough: We always know what we want next season to be. We even know what the end of next season is. But if you were to ask me today how do we get out of what you saw last night, I couldn't tell you. The writers finish in March, and we start back right after Memorial Day — that way you can sit on it and think about it. Generally, the ideas you have in March or April aren't necessarily as good as the ones you're going to have in June. When we do come back, we spend the first week figuring out how we're going to get ourselves out of the corners we've painted ourselves into, and also how those events are going to propel us into the next season. [A year ago] the crystals propelled us into the fortress, which propelled us into this season. That's always the challenge of the show. Once the season-openers are done, we always go, "Well, of course that's what it would be!" [Laughs] I'm already starting to have some ideas about how Clark gets out of the Phantom Zone and what Zod does. But we definitely went to an extreme place this time.

TV Guide: What was the thought process behind ending the finale this way? Did you always know that Clark would end up in the Phantom Zone?
Gough: A lot of times when you look at our seasons, what happens at the end of the opener has consequences for the finale. In Season 3, it was Jonathan's deal with Jor-El, which came at the end of the first episode; the ship with Brainiac played itself out through this season. We knew that we had a lot of big cards to play this season. As the characters are getting older, we're getting closer to the actual Superman mythology. We introduced the Fortress of Solitude and the Daily Planet and other DC Universe characters, including Brainiac. This was the first year we could play the Lex-Clark-Lana triangle because obviously everybody was legal. How many shows can say they can't play their major love triangle until Year 5? [Laughs] So we had a lot of ammunition going into Season 5, because with the move [to Thursdays at 8] we thought we were dead in the water. We knew we had a great season arc planned and we were hoping people would show up to watch it! Our storytelling was much better [this season]. We didn't drag the Brainiac stuff out — we told the first story, put it aside to tell the election story and the death of Jonathan Kent, and then came back to Brainiac. That way it didn't feel like last year's crystal story, where you just got sick of Jason and Lana. I think we acquitted ourselves well with Lana and Lex, which has given us a lot to play with in Season 6. And reader feedback always helps. We peruse the message boards, and a lot of times it echoes what we're already feeling.

TV Guide: What exactly happened when Clark threw the dagger at Fine?
Gough: This was something that got cut out of the episode for various reasons: Remember when Clark impaled Fine on the Fortress console [in the November-sweeps "Solitude" episode]? Basically, Fine infected the console. Fine is a computer and is all about probabilities, so he knew that if he went after Lex, that would lead Clark back to Jor-El, and Jor-El would tell Clark to get rid of the vessel, and Clark would never do that. Fine sort of calculated what Clark would do based on what Clark had done previously, which is always to protect humanity and not kill anybody. That was his endgame.

TV Guide: Zod said that Lex is dead. Is he?
Gough: No, of course not! [Joking] There's some alien technology that can repair the situation. But [the finale twist] won't be without consequences for Lex, either. We wanted it to be interesting and compelling, but we didn't want a guy in spandex to come jumping out of the Phantom Zone. We came up with the idea that his body had been destroyed and he was in the Phantom Zone in spirit only. That keeps the focus on our people and put them in the most extreme danger.

TV Guide: One thing that struck me was when Jor-El told Clark that Zod destroyed Krypton. That seems a departure from traditional Superman mythology.
Gough: The idea was that on Krypton — and we'd like to explore some of this in Season 6 — Zod was the ultimate terrorist. He and Jor-El were once friends and became enemies. As a result, there was a breakaway. It has more to do with political intrigue rather than that the planet started spinning too close to the sun, which has always sort of been the traditional story.

TV Guide: What about Clark and Chloe? That was some kiss. She's had a rough time of it already — you can't make him break her heart again! Might they be a couple next season?
Gough: I think there's always that possibility. That was to show the potential that that could happen. Or, it could just be a Hawkeye-Hot Lips "in the heat of battle" thing. [Laughs]

TV Guide: Well, if it doesn't work out with Clark, then give her a boyfriend next season!
Gough: That's in the cards. That is definitely in the cards.

TV Guide: Anything else you can tease about Season 6?
Gough: The theme is the rise of Lex Luthor. You're definitely going to see the more ruthless Lex Luthor you know from the comic books really start to emerge. The season will also be about the corruption of good — not only Lana, but Martha. Will she get involved with Lionel? And when Clark does come back from the Phantom Zone, what will it have done to him? We never really explored what happens to somebody inside the Phantom Zone, which is really the ultimate incarceration.

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

I'm very excited to hear that Clark and Chloe is a possibility next year. And that S6 will revolve around Lex a lot more than in the past. Michael plays the character to perfection, so I definitely don't mind having him up on the screen more often.

If Chloe doesn't get any action this upcoming season, I'm gonna go to Canada and f--k her myself.

Chole > Lois > Lana

[boydston_14]

Man, I still can't wait for the premiere this September. It sounds awesome.

[Neverending]

lol



Chole > Lois > Lana

Chole is the only one who hasn't gotten laid yet. Lana has gotten some and we all know Lois has gotten some (she's like the slut of the DC Universe), so why not give some love to Chole?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

chloe lost her virginity before lana

[boydston_14]

chloe lost her virginity before lana

Yeah, didn't she say something about taht in season 4? It was with Jimmy Olsen, or at least a guy named Jimmy who wore a bow-tie.

[Neverending]

Man. . .that's BS. I wanna see a hot, steamy sex scene with Chole and some guy. The girl is the most sexually frustrated character on the show. Even if she got some before it has been atleast a year since she's gotten any.

[Tornado]

All right, I'm sitting here in school, bored out of my mind, so of course naturally my thoughts started to drift towards Smallville and Season Six. Then I had an idea that I truly believe might actually come to pass.

It's about Lionel and Jor-El. In the comics, Jor-El created a program similar to Brainiac called the Eradicator. The Eradicator was designed to aid Kal-El if his life was ever in danger. My theory is that Lionel is not actually channeling Jor-El, but instead the Eradicator. While I'm not going to call my evidence of this idea "proof", I will say that it strongly supports my theory. All of what I'm about to say will be presented as fact, solely for the reason of it being easier to write this way:

When Lionel became "a vessel for Kryptonian knowledge", the Eradicator program was instilled in him. When we saw Lionel clawing Kryptonian symbols into the floor in 501 - Arrival, whenever Lionel had seizures and started writing in the Kryptonian language, and most of all when he "eradicated" one of Brainiac's clones in 521 - Oracle, that was all the doing of the Eradicator.

I have more. The only time we know for a fact that Jor-El was inhabiting Lionel's body, was when he broke out of Belle Reeve and took the then deceased Clark Kent to the Fortress of Solitude and revived him. How do we know this? Well, again this is just a theory, but we know this because Lionel's eyes were normal colored in this scene. Whenever the Eradicator showed his presence in Lionel's body, his eyes were glowing white. That was also true in the comics.

There's more, but my teacher is giving me strange looks. I'll type more later.

[Neverending]

Interesting. . .

[boydston_14]

Sounds like a good theory, Torn.

[Neverending]

Yeah, it does sound like a good theory. So, anyway, back to Chole. You guys think she'll get some this season?

[boydston_14]

Yeah, it does sound like a good theory. So, anyway, back to Chole. You guys think she'll get some this season?

*Face palm*

I'm not sure, Neverending, I'm just not sure.

[Tornado]

So, anyway, back to Chole. You guys think she'll get some this season?

I think so. My first choice for her would definitely be Clark, but I'm not sure how long that would last. I think they're great friends, but I don't think Clark loves Chloe the way she does him. As much as I hate to admit it, Clark kissed Chloe in the season finale more out of a "eh, what the hell" idea than a "hey, this girl has stood by me for five years, I was a fool to ever be interested in another woman". I mean, I'd love for Chloe to become this show's Lois, but I would seriously doubt that'll happen.

As for a love interest besides Clark, I think it's pretty likely. Gough pretty much confirmed it, so it's going to happen whether it's with Clark or not. I wouldn't be too surprised if a new male regular is brought on this season who'll fit the bill for Chloe. Clark has been pretty much completely surrounded by women for the entirety of S5. I mean, Pete left a while ago, he and Lex pretty much hate each other, Jonathan passed on... a new buddy for Clark probably wouldn't be a bad thing. I think it'd be a nice touch when it comes to building relationships and character chemistry for the show, but there is a problem with this - Clark doesn't really need a male friend in his life now as much as he used to. And besides, assuming Lionel doesn't either die in the premiere or forget all of the Kryptonian knowledge, he'll also be around as somebody for Clark to confide in.

Just my $.04.

[Tornado]

Some cool fan-made coverart for S5:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/b1b661b1.jpg

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

Something like this would be perfect in my opinion. Michael would probably need to be looking more toward the camera, Allison would need to be smaller, and a better picture of Tom would need to be used, but all in all I think it looks pretty good.

[boydston_14]

"Arrival"'s on right now in case anyone cares.

[OBSERVER]

Next time Clark gets into a fight, I want him to knowingly be on red kryptonite. Either that or use it to make a decision that he would normally wrestle with. Use it as a tool and then put it away again afterwards. It has not been in any episodes for nearly 3 years. There has to be some left around.

Well, I'm sure there is still a bunch around, but the last time he used it wasn't three years ago. It was in 411 - Unsafe (when he married Alicia).

[boydston_14]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised they went a season without using it for once. In seasons 2 and 3 red K was apparently everywhere, especially S2.

It's a cool idea though I'd like to see an image of Milton Fine on there seeing as he was a key villain during the season. Just me $0.06.

[OBSERVER]

Well, I'm sure there is still a bunch around, but the last time he used it wasn't three years ago. It was in 411 - Unsafe (when he married Alicia).
Can't believe I forgot about that one. Well, they did give us the silver one early in the season. I think it's only a matter of time before red returns.

[Tornado]

Again, as much as I think the S5 cover needs to have Chloe, these are pretty sweet too (fan made of course). I don't like the image of Clark in the second cover, but it's still well done aside from that:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/ca1ce6e3.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/c24dee5e.jpg

[boydston_14]

When's the official cover going to be shown to us all? I can't wait, but in the meantime, seeing all the fan-made ones is pretty cool. I like the second one, though it doesn't follow the smallville DVD formula (red Smallville on the side of the front cover, white Smallville on the side of the box as well as on top of it, etc., etc)

[Neverending]

Yeah, I'm suprised by how good they look. Anyway. . .Tornado. . .once again you're right. Chloe has suffered enough and the producers are gonna cut her some slack.

[FVD]

Should Season 7 ever come round I predict Clark, Lex and Lois on the DVD cover. :D

[boydston_14]

^I disagree. Lex, Lois, and Superman. ;)

[FVD]

Good point. ;)

[boydston_14]

Yeah, I know.

[Tornado]

Wow, so here's the first fanart that actually looks like it could be used (the one with Clark and Chloe in front of the FOS is good too but had several problems, this one really doesn't):

THE REAL COVER

http://www.tvshowsondvd.net/graphics/news3/SmallvilleSeason5.jpg




RELEASE DATE: 9/12/06

[the elmo zombie]

wow nice cover

[Tornado]

Yep, just saw that. The release date isn't surprising, I figured it wouldn't be 8/29 like originally announced. What I am kind of surprised about though, is the color of the box. That faded red/violet looks kind of weak compared to the season, not to mention that we've already got a similar color in S3's purple.

Oh well, it's the discs that matter.

[Tornado]

Bigger image:

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

I must say, I am a little disappointed at not only the lack of Chloe (honestly, this was probably her best shot at a cover, but at least she'll have a disc) but also the lack of the FOS on the front (although, the Daily Planet and Metropolis was almost certainly shown more than the FOS was, so I can understand that). Still though, I'm happy with it.

[cg124]

where?

sorry I forgot to post the link

[FVD]

Awesome cover. I like it....a lot. :)

I really oughta collect all the seasons someday. Downloading the episodes ain't enough.

[Tornado]

From DTS:

Comics Continuum is reporting that Erica Durance attended Wizard World Philadelphia. Erica confirmed that she's signed on for 13 episodes for the next season of Smallville on the CW Network.

"They may bring me back for more," Erica said at a panel at Wizard World Philadelphia. "They're never quite sure what they're going to do with Lois."

Erica said there's a danger of Clark and Lois getting too close on the series.

"DC Comics has really clamped down on Lois," she said. "You can't do a dream sequence (with her and Clark) or any of that sneaky stuff....You could wind up frustrating the audience," she said. "Or if it ends up they get together and once there's love, it's like, sayonara, Smallville's over."

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

I'm kind of surprised that she's likely going to be back for only 13 episodes. She had such a large part towards the end of S5 that I thought she'd be coming back for 16 episodes at the least. Oh well, I'm not a big fan of Smallville's interpretation of Lois anyway.

[Tornado]

Further Details:
Warner Home Video has announced the fifth season of Smallville which stars Tom Welling. The six-disc package will be available to own from the 12th September, and should retail at around $59.98. Each of the 22 episodes will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with English Dolby Surround tracks. Extras will include audio commentaries on two episodes, a Smallville’s 100th episode: The Making of a Milestone featurette, unaired scenes, and a Vengeance Chronicles Webisode Gallery.

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

I'm looking forward to the deleted scenes and the 100th episode featurette, but only two commentaries (on 505 - Thirst and 507 - Splinter at that)? That really sucks. I was hoping for commentaries on 501 and 522 also at least.

[Tornado]

Some news about S6 (from K-Site):

Steve DeKnight To Write Season 6 Premiere
Special thanks to: Wrighty555

Writer Steve DeKnight has revealed on his Myspace blog that he will be writing Smallville's sixth season premiere.

No details or spoilers about the episode are known at this time, but hey, finally some Season 6 news!

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

That's cool. He wrote Run, Spell, Unsafe, Onyx, Ageless (bleh), Mortal, Thirst, Splinter, Lockdown, Tomb, and Mercy (I think that's all of them, I didn't bother checking) so he's definitely written a couple episodes that I consider to be pretty good, especially Run and Mercy. I was hoping it would be the team of Kelly Sounders and Brian Peterson who wrote several of my favorite episodes from last season (Hidden, Reckoning, and Vessel), but DeKnight is good too.

[boydston_14]

Man, all this news about the DVD while I'm gone. I wish I had been here when it was truly news.

[Alien]

That's cool. He wrote Run, Spell, Unsafe, Onyx, Ageless (bleh), Mortal, Thirst, Splinter, Lockdown, Tomb, and Mercy (I think that's all of them, I didn't bother checking)
That is really is quite sad that you can list all those episodes writen by one of the writing team without looking. Only one of the list do I need to look up and see what it's about and that's Unsafe.

[Tornado]

That is really is quite sad that you can list all those episodes writen by one of the writing team without looking. Only one of the list do I need to look up and see what it's about and that's Unsafe.

Eh, I watch a lot of Smallville, and I read a lot about the show. It may be sad, but it's not that hard.

[boydston_14]

You certainly know more about it than I do, Torn.

[Tornado]

Well, we've finally got a sixth season premiere title:

601 - ZOD

The episode will be written by Steven S. DeKnight (eh) and directed by James Marshall (he's directed most of my favorite episodes, so woohoo).

[boydston_14]

Wow. I really didn't think they would actually call it Zod, but, oh well, I like it!

[Tornado]

Yeah, I was pulling for 601 - Awakening, but Zod is all right too. It does continue the trend of the previous season finale's title having a direct connection to the following season's premiere though:

121 Tempest - 201 Vortex
223 Exodus - 301 Exile
322 Covenant - 401 Crusade
422 Commencement - 501 Arrival
522 Vessel - 601 Zod

[boydston_14]

I was hoping for something a bit more original though.

[WhiskyBoy]

I hope that they really shake things up in season six, I am a big smallville fan and was really happy with alot of things in season five but i can't help but find a pattern emerging which is starting to grate abit

1) Clark and Lana dodge around each other due to some friction from previous season

2) Clark and Lana start to get closer and forget about there problems

3) Clarks "secret" starts to get in betwen him and lana in one shape or another, leading to more friction

Anybody feel the same?

[Spirited Away]

I do, it's been the same for 3 years now.

Here's my list of what I want Season Six to do:

1) Take place over the time period of a few weeks, and have Zod as a villain for most the season, if not all the season. Rather than have a year or something go by, have it so (at least for the first half) it's about Clark becoming a superhero, to stop Zod from taking over the world.

2) Bring back the witch crap with Lana, or something similar. That's been the only time I've ever thought she had a use in the show, and I definately don't want her back with Clark in the show, so have her as a villain - perhaps have Zod re-awaken the witch in her, so that the both of them could rule the world, leading too...

3) Have Clark and Lana fight in the finale or at a climax - if she has her witch powers, it would be awesome to see them properly fighting over Lex. Clark wants to kill Zod, but Lana wants to help him.

4) Have the world in utter chaos. No quick fix crud.

5) Have Clark finally fly, for real!

And for how they get Clark out of his predicament, let's introduce a new superhero of some sort. Any ideas? I think Clark should be mentored throughout the season, and then to have this mentor die - then this motivates Clark into finally saving people.

[Alien]

I think Clark should be mentored throughout the season, and then to have this mentor die - then this motivates Clark into finally saving people.
His Dad/Mentor died in season five, d'you just wanna watch that season again?

I did like your idea about having another superhero save him though, I just don't see it happening.

[boydston_14]

What if his menotr doesn't die, and it's.......Martian Manhunter!! That would be awesome!!!

[Alien]

But Martian Manhunter couldn't be green in Smallville coz that would be just too corny but it's a good idea.

[boydston_14]

Yeah, he can make himself look like others, right? If so (which I think he can), he should look like someone clark's age and then reveal to Clark that he's an alien.

[FVD]

Hmm J'onn on Smallville eh. In all seriousness I do think Jonathan should remain dead. It would be bad if he were to be revived. It was a sad moment of Smallville and it should remain that way.

[boydston_14]

Who said anything about reviving Clark's dad?

[FVD]

Well perhaps I stepped in halfway through the conversation. I'm just thinking if J'onn was impersonating Jonathan it would be pretty bad. Nothing more.

[boydston_14]

Yeah, I don't want Jonathan in the show anymore unless it's clark or someone talking about him. But if J'onn were to disguise himself as someone Clark's age (it doesn't have to be someone on the show, just some random disguise of his) and then shows Clark that he too is an alien, then that would be cool.

[Tornado]

From K-Site:

Season 6 Premiere Date: September 21, 2006?
Special thanks to: Mr. Video

Mr. Video has alerted us to a WB schedule that places the Smallville Season 5 finale episode "Vessel" as repeating on September 14, 2006; with the network itself ending and merging with UPN to become The CW after September 17.

Generally, the season premieres air on the following week, which would mean it's highly likely (though at this point unconfirmed by official sources) that Season Six will premiere in the United States on September 21.

If this is true, we have only three more months to go!

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

That wouldn't be too bad, as the DVD comes out on the 12th and at least I would have time to watch every episode from S5 again before S6 started up. I'll post what I expect from S6 a little later on.

[Spirited Away]

We just have to hope it doesn't suck. Superman Returns should hopefully convince the writers to do a better job, as well as the failure known at Aquaman/Mercy Reef.

[Tornado]

I'm not concerned. Anyway, first six writers of episodes:

Ep. 6.01 - Zod (writer S. DeKnight)
Ep. 6.02 - unknown (writers D. Swimmer & T. Slavkin)
Ep. 6.03 - unknown (writer T. Bellomo)
Ep. 6.04 - unknown (writers K. Souders & B. Peterson )
Ep. 6.05 - unknown (writer C. Dries)
Ep. 6.06 - unknown (writer S. DeKnight)

[WuTical]

We just have to hope it doesn't suck. Smallville has had about maybe 2-3 REALLY bad episodes out of 5 seasons so far

Season 6 is gonna be great lol

[Tornado]

All right, here is the list of the top five things I want to see in Season Six (in order) of Smallville. I'm going to put asterisks (*) in parentheses after my statement which will indicate how likely it is that what I want will happen:

1. Death of Lois Lane. Which would lead to Chloe adopting Lois Lane as a pen name in Season Seven, meaning Clark really falls in love with Chloe, not Lois. (***)
2. Clark needs to stop hating Jor-El and not only start to embrace his destiny, but also he must start to see that his powers are a gift, not a curse. (the way we're progressing - *, but I think TPTB will pull the Jesus Switch and that * will turn into a *****)
3. Lex kills Lionel. Not while he's Zod, not accidentally, it has to be Lex and he has to know what he's doing. (***)
4. Lex and Clark truly become mortal enemies. It can't be any of this "Oh, I hate you and you hate me, but we need help and have nobody else to count on right now." Clark and Lex need to get to the point where they can't even stand being in the same room with each other, much less actually conversing. (****)
5. Clark learns his Super Breath power early on in the season. (****)

[boydston_14]

I'm hoping above anything else that 3 things happen next season:
1) Clark finally accepts his destiny
2) Lex finally becomes evil, leading to:
3) Clark and Lex become mortal enemies

[FVD]

I think Chloe shouldn't adopt Lois' name because that would destroy the very fabric of Clark/Superman's relationship with the Lois Lane. This is mainly because Lois does not know Clark's secret yet and that is one of the most important subplots in the history of Superman.

Perhaps Chloe dying may become an important stepping stone into the evolution of Superman. Chloe would want Clark to move on that kinda thing.

[boydston_14]

Yeah, and Lois would adopt Chloe's lifestyle of reporting maybe if Chloe died. Well, one can dream, right?

[Tornado]

I think Chloe shouldn't adopt Lois' name because that would destroy the very fabric of Clark/Superman's relationship with the Lois Lane. This is mainly because Lois does not know Clark's secret yet and that is one of the most important subplots in the history of Superman.

Eh, I just really don't like Smallville's interpretation of Lois. I mean, when the show was created Chloe was the stand-in for Lois because TPTB could not secure the rights to the character of Lois Lane. In other words, at the beginning of the series Chloe was Smallville's version of Lois, meaning what I want to happen probably would have eventually. But then Lois showed up in S4, and we all know what happened from there on.

And there is a ton more evidence (which I'll post if someone wants me to, I just don't want to waste my time if nobody is going to read it) which leads to the conclusion that Chloe = Lois.

[boydston_14]

Yeah, I agree that Chloe is a lot like Lois, but one thing that's always bothered me about that theory is: If Chloe is supposed to be Lois, then why did they introduce Lois at all?

[Tornado]

Yeah, I agree that Chloe is a lot like Lois, but one thing that's always bothered me about that theory is: If Chloe is supposed to be Lois, then why did they introduce Lois at all?

Story-wise? I have no idea. Aside from becoming Martha's Chief of Staff (why Martha hired Lois to do this is beyond me) she hasn't really done anything worthwhile yet. But production-wise? Because TPTB gained the rights to creating the character, and they wanted to. No other reason in my opinion.

[Tornado]

Back-cover art for S5 on DVD:

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

Neat.

[FVD]

Alright Lois in the Star Spangled bikini. :D

Well I like Erica Durance's portrayal of Lois on Smallville. Seeing her for the first time not to mention the bathroom scene on the next episode was hilarious.

Clark "Hey that's my shirt!"
Lois "It was the only thing that was clean."

[boydston_14]

I was hoping for Brainiac on at least the back cover....

[Tornado]

From K-Site:

Casting notices for the role of "Jimmy Olsen" have gone out for the season premiere! No further information is available at this time.

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

Awesome.

I hope he's more like the one from Lois and Clark, and less like the gimp from the movies.

From K-Site:

UPDATE! "Secretagentman" has revealed that Smallville's Jimmy Olsen is in his twenties. He is described as "adorable" and pesters Chloe for a dinner date until she finally gives in. Apparently they'd interacted in the past and each thought the other wasn't interested. The casting breakdowns imply that the character will recur throughout the season. It also says that Jimmy nicknames Clark "C.K.," which is a trait originated with Michael Landes' Jimmy Olsen in Lois & Clark.

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

Awesome.

[Alien]

I always liked CK as a nickname for Clark.

[Tornado]

Spoilers from K-Site:

Nam-Ek and Aethyr (from "Arrival") WILL be seen again, but the roles ARE being recast. The role of the President is also being cast for the episode.

Casting notices have also gone out for the role of a character named "Raya," whom "Secretagentman" reveals was an assistant of Jor-El's who helps Clark get out of the Phantom Zone. It sounds as though Raya will give Clark a crystal that will help him to stop Lex/Zod.

[boydston_14]

That idea sounds crappy to me, it should be Lionel who helps him out (or of course, Martian Manhunter).

[WuTical]

That idea sounds crappy to me
yea, i dont know why, but just doesnt sound good to me lol

[boydston_14]

For me, I think it's because they could use so much that they've already introduced on the show to help out Clark, but they decide to use someone new. Oh, and the whole the about him getting a crystal to help him out of his predicament just doesn't really show much originality from AlMiles.

[Tornado]

Titles for the next two episodes:

602 - SNEEZE
603 - WITHER

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

Hell yeah! 602 - Sneeze has gotta be his super breath episode! I love all of the power-discovery episodes, this should be a great one too. 603 - Wither sounds interesting too, can't wait for more details. They start shooting next week, so more spoilers should be popping up pretty soon as they get under way. On a side note, Smallville received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series for episode 501 - Arrival. Awesome.

Is anybody else as pumped up as I am for S6? We've got evil Lex, Clark probably embracing his destiny more, Jimmy Olsen, super breath, more Zod, probably more Brainiac, hints of the Green Arrow and the Martian Manhunter... sweet.

[boydston_14]

I'm pumped. I really think (and hope) that the second episode has the super breath in it, though part of me thinks it may just get me hyped up a bit too much to have it wind up having no relation to super breath at all.

[Alien]

Martian Manhunter!?! Wasn't that just us saying that is what we'd like? Green Arrow sounds cool but are we sure we're getting super breath and that's not just fan boy's hoping?

Bring on more Brainiac!

Matian Manhunter was a rumor from S5 that has resurfaced recently. Oliver Queen (the Green Arrow) came up somewhere a few weeks back. And the second episode of the sixth season is named "Sneeze." The episode where Clark discovered his super hearing was titled "Whisper." It's highly likely we're getting super breath early in this coming season.

Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow would kick ass on Smallville.

But to be clear it is still kinda fan boys hoping, it could be Clark gets some sort of Super-Cold... We're kinda sure but not 100% possitive yet are we?

Go on, make fun of the Super-Cold idea... It happened in Lois & Clark. Brainiac could infect him with some Krypton virus.

I probably would make fun of the super-cold idea if it hadn't already happened on Smallville (216 - Fever, good episode actually). The fact that it's already happened makes me think that there is no other possible idea for 602 - Sneeze than his discovery of super breath.

[Alien]

Sneezing is a poor conection to breathing though if you ask me. Breath or Chill would be a more suitable name for the super breath origin or Sub-Zero but that might break the one word rule.

I'm really hoping for super breath now, even though I still have the feeling that it won't show.

Aaron Ashmore has been cast in the role of Jimmy Olsen, and it is said he WILL be a love interest for Chloe. It sounds VERY likely that this is the "Jimmy" that Chloe mentioned in "Unsafe."

This is really odd, considering his twin brother played Eric Summers in "Leech" and "Asylum".

[Jason Krueger]

What do you guys think of the casting of Aaron Ashmore? I'm not to sure, I mean with the fact that he's a twin and looks like another character from the show, I'm not to sure.

Spoilers from K-Site about 602 - Sneeze:

UPDATED 7/11/06: "Secretagentman" strikes again with some spoilage: One of the characters being cast for the episode is "Orlando Block," an unbalanced commando who kidnaps Lex. Initially it seems he is torturing Lex to learn all his secrets, but actually he is the employee of a mysterious mastermind.

Also, a screencap from the first video with the 2006 looks for the characters:

Question: Any preseason scoop on Smallville? — Carrie

Ausiello: Holy Kryptonite, yes! For those of you who didn't see the Super prattle I posted yesterday in the Ausiello Report, Jimmy Olsen will make his eagerly anticipated debut in the season premiere, and he's going to look a lot like Veronica Mars' ex, Troy Vandegraff (aka, actor Aaron Ashmore). Additionally, several of my Super moles now confirm that Jimmy is definitely being eyed as a love interest for Chloe. Now, here's the other big news I teased about in AR: Sources say that a pivotal comic-book character will show up this season — and it's got "fanboy orgasm" written all over it. Can't say more, but expect an announcement very soon (like, perhaps, in next week's issue of TV Guide magazine)

Whoa. I doubt it's Bruce, because the last I heard was that the WB isn't letting Al and Miles use him due to the fact that the company wants Bruce to be part of his own mythology (Batman Begins series), not fall in with Smallville's. My guesses (couldn't narrow it down to one)? Either we're going to get Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), Hal Jordan/John Stewart (Green Lantern), J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter), or we'll see Jor-El in a physical form.

BIG NEWS:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/67a78934.jpg

Green Arrow Comes To Smallville!

TV Guide's July 24 edition, now arriving in subscriber mailboxes with a nifty Tom Welling cover, has a BIG scoop -- that the DC Comics character of Oliver Queen, better known to fans as Green Arrow, will be making an appearance in Smallville for a story arc that will go for "at least seven episodes."

"He will start to form the nascent Justice League," Smallville executive producer Alfred Gough tells TV Guide in this week's issue. "He's trying to find like-minded people with special powers and put a more formal structure in place."

The article goes on to say that Clark will initially be wary of Green Arrow, much like he was when future characters such as the Flash or Aquaman showed up in previous seasons. "Ultimately Clark will see the value of what he is trying to do," Gough says. "But as he's gotten older, Clark has become more cautious. He will always be there to help out, but he doesn't want to be part of a formalized organization."

Just as big as the announcement of the character is the casting - Justin Hartley, who played the role of AC/Aquaman in Millar & Gough's Aquaman pilot will be playing the role of Ollie. The article says that Hartley was quickly offered the Smallville gig. "What really appealed to us is that he has a great combination of sexiness and humor," Gough says. TV Guide does not reveal when Oliver will first appear on the show, though here at KryptonSite, we are hearing that he may show up as early as the season's second episode, "Sneeze." (Visit the KryptonSite spoilers page for more about the new season!) TV Guide also reveals that Lois Lane will take a romantic interest in the emerald archer.

Also in this week's article is one of the first print mentions of Aaron Ashmore's casting as Jimmy Olsen, who will be a recurring guest star. "In our first episode back, they reconnect," Gough says. "And so Chloe Sullivan finally gets a boyfriend."

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

Seven episodes? That rocks! I'm glad we're getting a new semi-regular guy on the show, Clark doesn't have too many male friends.

[cg124]

Sweet!

[Alien]

Lois wanted AC/Aquaman next she'll want Ollie/Green Arrow and some time in the future she'll be after Clark/Superman. I think they are trying to say she likes Superheros.

[boydston_14]

Awesome news! I can't wait to see this season!

[Tornado]

Mark your calendars folks - September 28th. Premiere of 601 - Zod.

I was hoping for GL, but that's pretty cool too. The best part is the 7 episode part, not just a semi-forgettable one-shot.

KryptonSite Exclusive: Aaron Ashmore Talks Smallville (Possible Spoilers Ahead)

At the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, California on July 17, we were able to catch up with Aaron Ashmore who takes on the role of Jimmy Olsen in Smallville's sixth season, which begins airing on September 28 on the new CW Network.

Fans of Veronica Mars are probably the ones who know Aaron the best, from his role as Troy Vandegraff in several episodes of the show's first season and one episode in year two. So what was it like going from one snarky blonde to another, as Jimmy is rumored to be romantically involved with Chloe Sullivan in Smallville's sixth year? "I feel really, really lucky to be able to do that. Somebody's gotta do it, so I will definitely volunteer to be the one that goes from one beautiful girl to the next," Aaron says.

Aaron has already done a day of shooting as Jimmy Olsen and is impressed with the "well-oiled machine" they have at Smallville. "It was actually the first day that they started back. Even with a 3-month break or whatever it is, they just jump right back in. So it was great," he said.

Aaron's first Smallville scenes are set at the Daily Planet, where he shares screen time with Allison Mack (Chloe) and Tom Welling (Clark). "I got to do a couple scenes with Allison Mack, and I did a scene with Tom Welling as well. Both were very welcome, and it was just totally cool. They were just like, 'come and play'. It was really great," he revealed.

Ashmore is familiar with previous interpretations of Jimmy Olsen, particularly from the Richard Donner movies and the recent Superman Returns film. In fact, Sam Huntington, who played Jimmy Olsen in Superman Returns, is a friend. Because of their busy schedules, they haven't gotten a chance to talk about it, but it is something Aaron would like to do in the future. "My roommate Mike [Daugherty, one of the screenwriters of Superman Returns] told him that I got the part, and he text messaged me, like 'Yeah! Way to go Aaron' and stuff. I haven't talked to him because I've just been all over the place, but I'm looking forward to sitting down with him, and being like 'Big screen, small screen. Who knew?'" Fans of Veronica Mars may remember Aaron Ashmore and Sam Huntington sharing screen time in the Season 1 episode "You Think You Know Somebody."

Aaron does not know at this time how many episodes of Smallville will feature Jimmy Olsen, but he has had time for some outside projects. One project is currently filming - a movie called Palo Alto also starring Ryan Hansen, "Dick Casablancas" of Veronica Mars. "I don't know when it's going to be out, but keep an eye open for it, because I think it's gonna be great," Aaron tells us. And although he does not know what the plans are, he wouldn't rule out a return appearance on Veronica Mars if they should want to bring back Troy. "I think Veronica Mars is a great show, so if they wanted me to, I would love to. I love the show, and I love the character of Troy, too," he tells us.

New episode title:

604 - ARROW

Obviously the first appearance (or maybe a true introduction, he could show up sooner I suppose) of the Green Arrow.

[boydston_14]

Well, it could be that he appears at the end of another episode before 'Arrow' (just like Brainiac's first appearance in Arrival) and we don't get a formal introduction until 'Arrow'. I'm just glad to hear that Flash and Cyborg are gonna be back as well as the intro to Green Arrow.

[Tornado]

Well, it could be that he appears at the end of another episode before 'Arrow' (just like Brainiac's first appearance in Arrival) and we don't get a formal introduction until 'Arrow'.

That's pretty much the exact same thing I just said.

I'm just glad to hear that Flash and Cyborg are gonna be back as well as the intro to Green Arrow.

Where'd you hear that?

[boydston_14]

Where'd you hear that?

EDIT. Here it is:
from Comics continuum:


"We are extremely psyched to introduce Oliver Queen on the show," Gough said. "The Green Arrow is one of the seminal figures in the DC Comics Universe. It will be exciting to explore this character over an arc of episodes rather than just one-and-out. "

Green Arrow will be played by Justin Hartley, who starred in the Aquaman pilot that The CW passed on. The character will be recruiting heroes and might serve as a potential love interest for Lois Lane.

Green Arrow won't be the only DC guest-star, Gough told The Continuum.
"Also, expect to see the return of Flash and Cyborg in the near future," he said.

[Tornado]

Hmm... I'm not sure if I want to see Cyborg back to be honest. It was a good episode the first time around, but a large part of that in my opinion is due to the fact that we found out Lionel knew Clark's secret at the tail end of the show. Also, I'm not sure how badly I want to see the Flash again either.

I think we can all agree that Season Six is going to rock though:

- Green Arrow, for probably seven episodes, nice
- what appears to be the formations of an early Justice League (should be interesting)
- Jimmy Olsen (not a fan of the casting, but I trust in Gough and Millar)
- likely a new superpower in super-breath
- the end of the Zod/Lex story, should be awesome
- Clark will likely start to embody Superman more (in mind, I don't think he'll fly just yet)

[Tornado]

A few images from the first photo shoot (there are more at K-Site):

Why Michael has hair in this is beyond me. I'm guessing either these pictures were taken before shooting started, or somehow Zod can grow hair in Lex's body.

[boydston_14]

Let's hope he can't grow hair as Zod. I mean, I can deal with him having powers, but Lex should never have hair.

[Tornado]

New episode title from K-Site:

605 - SUBTERRANEAN

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

I really don't know what this could mean.

[boydston_14]

Hmm....subterranean......
sub-ter-ra-ne-an: situated or occuring below the surface of the Earth; underground.

I hope it's not some FOTW.

[Tornado]

My first thought was that Lex is building an underground "lair," due to the fact that he's probably sick of people just barging in whenever they feel like it. ;)

[Spirited Away]

- Clark will likely start to embody Superman more (in mind, I don't think he'll fly just yet)
The recent film isn't doing as well as hoped, so it's unlikely they'll make another Superman film for a while. So Clark becoming Superman in Smallville is now more likely than before.

[Tornado]

The recent film isn't doing as well as hoped, so it's unlikely they'll make another Superman film for a while. So Clark becoming Superman in Smallville is now more likely than before.

I hope not. As far as I'm concerned, when Clark dons the suit the show is over. I just want Clark to start acting like Superman more, starting to embrace his destiny and thinking more about dangers he needs to fight on a global level, rather than just in Smallville and Metropolis.

It'd be easy for TPTB to get him from one half of the world to the other. He could start super-speeding, and then super-jump right before the edge of Maine or something. Clark at current power might be able to pull that off. He super-sped from Smallville to the middle of South America in about five seconds, and he can super-jump pretty high up. It may not be that believeable but hey, it's already a show about an alien sent to Earth who has half a dozen superpowers which he attains from an excess of solar energy in his body. ;)

[Spirited Away]

Nah what I meant was they could actually have it so he becomes Superman in the very last scene of Smallville (Season 7's finale).

It would be the ultimate pay off to have him developing ideas for his suit, and him doing his "training", throughout the latter half of season 7, then to end the entire series with him, in a disclosed phone box nearby a crime scene, ripping his shirt to reveal the "S".

Yeah definitely. I've always kind of envisioned the series finale ending nearly the exact same way that we first saw Superman in the original film, the dialogue would be corny in today's world, but I'd love for this to happen:

[big helicopter malfunction, dangling off the side of the Daily Planet, Lois is hanging on for dear life, Clark looks up and sees the copter and Lois, he runs across the street and rips open his shirt to reveal the S]

[cut to Lois trying to hold on and slipping, cut back to Superman flying up and catching her]

Superman - Easy miss, I've got you.
Lois - You've got me? Who's got you?!

[fly back to the top of the building, Superman sets down Lois]

Supeman - I hope this hasn't put you off flying ma'am. Statistically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel.

[he turns around to fly away when...]

Lois - Who are you?
Superman - A friend.

[Superman starts floating back up, he turns around and waves and then flies away, she faints of course, he flies high up through the city and eventually up into space, he turns his head different directions and then looks at the camera, smiles, and flies away, all set to the original Superman theme]

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

I realize it's asking a lot, but that's what I want.

[WuTical]

^^^that would work IF Lois didnt already knew what Clark looked like lol

unless Lois and Lex get their memories erased, they would know who Superman is just by looking at his face...that is (and my only) beef with the show

[JheyDC]

Its amazing how the makers of Smallville can come up with such exciting and entertaining episodes. When I saw the first episode of Season 1, I was hooked. I really can't wait for the 6th Season to kick off. It's so overwhelming just thinking about it. Though you wish it would last longer than 7 Seasons. After you watch the very last Season of Smallville, its like you think of all the possibilities, all the to-be episodes. It's going to be tough to top this show.

Superman Returns was pretty okay. Though a lot of people I talked to regarding the movie asked "Why wasn't it Tom Welling"? Hey, the guy was cute either way. He looked a lot like the late Christopher Reeves. Too much make up though up close. No matter how much his hair got wet, it would stay the same.

I think that Chloe is such a good friend to Clark. After everything she's always been there for him. Eventhough he has his eyes on Lana for like forever. I think that Chloe will die. This would really take an impact on Clark also for Lois. This is when Clark embraces his destiny and does save people around the world. Because loosing a friend like Chloe will change him and he would understand more about the meaning of his true destiny. Lois of course will take Chloe position in the Daily Planet to follow in her footsteps. I think that Chloe plays a very important role to Superman's path.

This is just me rambling.

[ELJ]

Tornado,

I love your potential ending to the series, except of course that Lois knows what he looks like already and Clark wouldn't call her ma'am. That would really be a great way to end it all and it wouldn't go against the "he won't fly and no tights" promise made when the show started.

It's too late for simple glasses to hide who he is, and since Superman would never wear a mask, I think the creators really dropped the ball on this one aspect of the show.

I have really enjoyed the way the writers have introduced various other super characters during this show and I wonder how many more they will squeeze in over the next two seasons. It would be hilarious if Batman popped up one day. So funny. Clark would be like "what's up with that dude in a cape?"

I agree. It's one of the few things that has always kind of bothered me about the show. I mean, probably the two most important people (Lex and Lois) in Superman's story are going to grow up knowing exactly what his alter ego looks like without glasses. I don't see how the paralells of Clark and Superman would ever work based on Smallville's history without some kind of a massive mind-wipe on most of the town (which, knowing TPTB the way we do, isn't out of the realm of possibility).

What I would probably do, is when Zod leaves Lex's body, he would have no memory over what happened. Lex would go back to just thinking that Clark is a strange kid who is more different than he lets on. Eventually, something would happen (not sure what this would be yet) that would convince Lex of the notion that Clark Kent is a bumbling nobody, who isn't important at all. That way Lex would grow up thinking that Clark doesn't matter. When Superman appears, he might think he looks familiar or something, but he would never think that Clark Kent = Superman.

As for Lois, she's a little easier here. I think when Clark returns after having left for the Fortress to train for seven years or however long it's supposed to be, as long as he's wearing his glasses Lois will pretty much have no memory of what Clark looks like without them. She's certainly ditzy enough to be able to pull that trick off. Then there's the whole "posture and attitude" differences arguement as well.

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

I think if done properly, it could work. But TPTB could easily screw it up badly too. They're done it in the past, that's for sure.

[JheyDC]

Yeah I know what you mean. Yeah I don't know what they will do about Lois knowing who Clark is. Maybe erase her memory about ever meeting Clark in Smallville. Or maybe she has a twin? Very unlikely. I like how they introduced Lois Lane as Chloe's cousin. I wanted Chloe to take Lois's name though. I mean, I wanted Chloe to play Lois. Clark and her had a very good chemistry together. She would be playing a different Lois if that happens. Different from the comics and previous films made.

Its good Flash and Cyborg will return. This would probably be one of the exciting part in the season. Yeah Batman coming in would be funny. Who would play Batman? They should introduced a woman with powers though. Its always men with powers. Maybe Wonder Woman comes in for like an episode or something. Just to change it around. Its always guys.

Lex on the other hand is great. Michael Rossenbaum plays this character perfectly. I think he will be the one to kill his father though. Just the thought of him being evil I hated but this is the path he will walk. He is really getting into his character now. I love his comeback lines with his dad, he's so smart and so bold.

I thought Pete was going to be Clarks photographer friend. A friend like that is hard to find. Someone who is willing to change their life for the sake of their friendship. Knowing that Clark has a friend like Pete in Wichita, is enough for Clark. He knows there is someone out in the world that understands what he is fighting for.

Lana Lang, would probably end up with Lex. They might get married but she will die. She won't be happy of course. She plays the victim too much. Lana needs to decide what she really wants and go for it. She's too easy to get. Its like someone can ask her out and she'll say "I'd love to!"

They should introduced a woman with powers though. Its always men with powers. Maybe Wonder Woman comes in for like an episode or something. Just to change it around. Its always guys.

They already did: Andrea last season in 513 - Vengeance.

AQUAMAN/SMALLVILLE NEWS

Warner Bros.' never-aired Aquaman pilot, from Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, topped iTunes for downloads on its first day of release on Tuesday.

"At least the pilot is now getting its day in court with the fans, and the reviews have all been very positive," Gough told The Continuum. "It's nice to know it is being seen by more than just our family and friends.

Justin Hartley, who stars in the pilot, is now playing Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, in the sixth season of Smallville on The CW.

Gough told The Continuum that Oliver won't be wearing his costume from the comics. "Although there will be a nod to it in episode three during a costume party," he said.

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

Well, neither did the Flash nor Aquaman. Did anybody honestly expect to see Ollie in tights?

[boydston_14]

I knew it!! He's probably gonna be Robin Hood or something at the costume party.

[Alien]

I knew it!! He's probably gonna be Robin Hood or something at the costume party.
I was thinking he'd put on the mask while looking out a costume but yeah, yours is better, he'll prob be Robin Hood.

[boydston_14]

Actually I think if he dresses as anyone or anything that makes him look remotely like Green Arrow, then I'm all for it.

[FVD]

It's really cool that we're gonna see Oliver Queen but why do all these guys have to become a potential love interest for Lois?

[Klimber]

Lois in Smallville is kinda sluttly, she would bang most of the JLA including Wonder Woman and Gleek.

[Alien]

Now that would be a hell of an episode, I'd tune in for that. :D

[Sora Kahn]

The only things I don't like about the show right now is that there are too many lame mutant villians, too much Lana, and this whole Lexod thing going on here.

And the only way I can picture them pulling off the people not knowing the difference between Clark and Superman is that in the final episode, Clark is forced into a situation that would require him to do something that would in the end wipe out the memories of all of his friends and everyone he cares about. It would be kind of sad too since Clark would be walking around and his friends like Chloe wouldn't know who he is.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

spoilers for episode 6-4 Arrow:

UPDATED 8/2/06: There is a scientist in this episode named Dr. Groll who is helping Lex figure out the aspects of a mysterious black box.
- Dr. Groll doesn't trust Lana, and he initiates a plot to see how loyal she is to Lex.
- Lois writes an article for the Inquisitor about the failings of a company called Safetec. A Safetec security officer named Milo furiously hires a thug to kidnap and interrogate her.

[boydston_14]

Sounds good to me. Especially Lois writing for the Inquisitor. It's a start for her journalistic future

DAMN! It's been a while since I last visited this thread. Anyway. . .a few questions:

Is it true that Bruce Wayne will make an appearence this season?

Jimmy Olson, huh? So, Chloe is FINALLY gonna get laid this season?

[Tornado]

Question 1) I don't think so. I doubt it'll ever happen. It'd be amazing if it did though.
Question 2) Chloe "got laid" in between S1 and 2, by an intern at the Daily Planet named Jimmy (obviously that Jimmy and Jimmy Olsen are one and the same).

[Neverending]

Question 1) Starlog magazine apparently (I haven't read it yet but I heard) reported that.

[Tornado]

Question 1) Starlog magazine apparently (I haven't read it yet but I heard) reported that.

Oh really? Huh. I hadn't heard that. I think there are some legal issues with the Bruce Wayne character. Something like Warner Bros. doesn't want the character involved in Smallville. That'd be awesome if it ended up being true though.

[boydston_14]

As much as I wish they'd have Bruce in Smallville, I don't really see it ever happening.

[Neverending]

How come WB doesn't want Bruce on Smallville? Are they scared of confusing people? Nobody was confused when Batman: The Animated Series and the Burton/Schumacher Batman films were out at the same time.

So, I don't think anyone is gonna get confused that different things are happening on Smallville, Superman Returns, and the Nolan films.

[Tornado]

How come WB doesn't want Bruce on Smallville? Are they scared of confusing people? Nobody was confused when Batman: The Animated Series and the Burton/Schumacher Batman films were out at the same time.

I don't think they're worried about confusing people. I don't think they're worred about anything really. I just think that what they want is to keep the characters separated. According to the current Bats/Supes mythology (meaning, Batman Begins and Superman Returns/Smallville), Batman is in timeline A. Clark Kent/Superman is in timeline 1. They're running on timelines that are occuring at the same time, but they don't intersect (not to mention, I don't think Superman exists in the Batman Begins world, maybe that's not true for the opposite - I don't know).

I think that's the way it works anyway, I'm not positive on the whole ordeal going on right now. It's just goofy and hard to find the right words to describe.

[Neverending]

I understand keeping the characters seperated but isn't WB also concerned about characters within the Superman universe. For instance, they're not allowing some kind of romance between Lois and Clark cause of the movie.

[Alien]

Question 1) Starlog magazine apparently (I haven't read it yet but I heard) reported that.
That's called Hear'say... A friend of a friend told me...Question 1) I don't think so. I doubt it'll ever happen. It'd be amazing if it did though.
Question 2) Chloe "got laid" in between S1 and 2, by an intern at the Daily Planet named Jimmy (obviously that Jimmy and Jimmy Olsen are one and the same).
Really? Wow, I need to have a Smallville marathon to remind my self what's been hapening.

[Neverending]

You don't even have to watch a re-run. We've discussed this enough times. lol. Poor Chloe! She gets the least action on the show. I want Chloe to have sex in every other episode during season 6. She needs to catch up with everyone else.

[JheyDC]

:lol: Tell me about it. It sucks, she plays a very important role in the series but she gets the least action out of all the episodes.

[Neverending]

I know! Clark and Lana were virgins till season 5 and THEY got more action than she did. Geez!

[boydston_14]

I'm wondering why we haven't gotten any pics from the set yet, other than the publicity shot of Ashmore as JO.

[Neverending]

Season 6 is full of surprises!

[boydston_14]

From K-Site:
Episode # 6-6: Reunion

I guess Bart and Vic will be back in this episode. Yes!

[Tzarinna]

I saw Michael Rosenbaum in the Queen Latifah/Steve Martin movie Bringing Down the House a few weekends ago on TV. I knew the voice but couldn't figure it out for awhile :D I love when it comes to me,EUREKA!!!!

[NHawk]

This thread has been around for a while I see. . . .

You guys hear anything new out of DeKnight's blog?

[Slimberg_Jackson]

Good to see there's a Smallville thread in here. Man I was always on the board for it back at the Hype ( Kreuk is wifey material to me and Durance would get it on the side lol)
Lotta big things happening in Season 6. I'm glad to see Green Arrow is FINALLY coming to Smallville and I'm really happy to see Lana with Lex. I know Lana gets a lot of hate on the net but I'm hoping the writers are listening and give her some solid stuff (she was cool in seasons 1 and 2 and great in Lexmas) I think it's good build to the overall mythology and along with Clark that's like the big 3.
With Green Arrow I wasnt too impress with dude who played him on Aquaman but with some solid script material hopefully he will do well.
Not too sure about Chloe and Jimmy, I personally think Chloe is use as a crutch on the show but thats me.

Anyways I got tons of Smallville so I'll definetly try to post some vids, interviews and pics of the cast any info that comes through.

[boydston_14]

Well, it's been confirmed on K-Site that the Reunioin in episode six will be of Lex and his good old pal Ollie Queen.

[Slimberg_Jackson]

I really wonder how there gonna approach Green Arrow in the series, I'm too sure about the guy who plays him but it should be interesting.

Yup, and flashbacks to the childhood relationship between the two. I'm pumped for that, young Lex's scenes are always really neat (I absolutely loved 319 - Memoria... mainly due to the last scenes between Lex and Lionel/Clark and Martha).

looks like theres going to be no more freaks of the week, instead we'll probably be gettting kryptonians of the week

This season Clark must battle his way out of the Phantom Zone. Thrown into this Kryptonian jail created by Jor-El, Clark finds himself without powers and surrounded by revenge-seeking criminals sent away by his father. Jor-El’s old assistant, a young woman named Raya (guest star Pascale Hutton), comes to his aid in the Phantom Zone and helps Clark escape. Unfortunately, there may have been others who escaped with him.

I don't think we'll be seeing something like that happening. I think the "others" that quote is referring to are Nam-Ek and Aethyr. Presumably, Clark will dispose of them within an episode or two, and that'll be the end of them.

Spoiler tags are used for a reason.

Anywho, I would hate it if they decided to go this route. I mean, we'd just get episode after episode of Clark essentially fighting himself, as far as we know Kryptonians all have the same powers on Earth (although, I'd be more keen to accept this if TPTB changed this and gave the K folks different abilities). I think it would grow old quick.

Sorry, I didn't think to use them.

I think Season 6 should be the final season. There's really nothing much left to do for Clark. I do want to see a spinoff series with Clark as Superman in Metropolis, which means we could finally get something fresh and new for Supe.

I think the closest thing we'll get to that is a comic series of what happens after Smallville (since it's really in its own continuity). Here that, TPTB?

[Spirited Away]

I think if all those Kryptonian convicts get released, it'll make Clark feel guilty, and would start his journey as a superhero.

He's 100% responsible for it, and he has to fix it. After he does fix it, he realises how much good he does, and he becomes... Superman!

As for him being too young, didn't Peter Parker become Spider-man at the age of 18? And he's about the same age as Clark in Spider-man 2.

[Sora Kahn]

All I know is a Superman spinoff series set in Metropolis would be great. Clark and Lois already have great chemistry in Smallville. But I know it won't happen. It was just a hopeful idea for giving Superman some justice after the raping his image got after Superman 3, 4, and Returns.

[boydston_14]

New spoilers from K-Site say that part of the 'reunion' episode takes place during Lex's boarding school days and explains a lot about his and
ollie's past.

[Neverending]

A Smallville spin-off centering on Clark's adventures as Superman could be made if they ended Smallville right away. Isn't the plan to have 8 seasons? If so, I doubt the cast would want to continue. They'd probably want to move on. If the ended the show this upcoming season then the cast would consider doing a Superman show for about 4-5 seasons. Making Smallville and Superman a total of 11 seasons. Which I would prefer instead of 8 seasons of Smallville and ending it there.

[Sora Kahn]

^Exactly. It would be totally perfect. It would keep me tuned in.

[Tornado]

If there was a Metropolis spin-off, there is just no way Tom Welling would re-up his contract. He strikes me as just itching to get out now, and he's still got two full seasons left.

[spide-ed]

Maybe Welling wants to go pursue a career in great movies such as the Fog ;) or.... Perhaps a more suitable career choice would be to play a plank of wood on Captain Jacks ship in POTC3.

Im not sure if he wouldnt do it, after all didnt he say that hed only do 4 seasons originally and have no flying in the series. Its amazing how quickly peoples intentions/ ideals melt when a bucket of cash is thrown at them.

[boydston_14]

I still don't see any Superman TV show in the near future (well, that is to say, a Superman show that continues from Smallville). It would be interesting, but they'll probably do a comic series or something, which I'm starting to warm up to the idea of.

[Spirited Away]

I think there will be a Superman show after Smallville. But I don't think Tom Welling will return. Thank God he's as wooden as my kitchen flooring, it means we could actually get someone capable of more than two or three emotions.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

two new episode titles:

6-7 Fallout
6-8 Indestructible

[Tornado]

In my ideal Smallville world...

607:

Fallout would be about the end of the Lex/Lana relationship. Gradually from 601 onward we could start to see the two slowly drift apart due to Lex's abilities, and the fact that Lana will probably see what he does with them.

608:

Indestructible would be about Clark finally telling Lana his secret, and the two finally starting to reconcile their relationship. Trust me, I don't want to see the two dating again, I don't think they could ever go back to that point. But I at least want to see them be friends again. And I think after five and a half seasons of strange things happening to her, she deserves to know who Clark really is.

[Spirited Away]

I'm certain it was said by one of the writers that Lana and Clark will never be back together again. Citation for that would be great.

I always invisioned Lana being killed because of her relationship with Lex. I mean because of who he is and what he does she gets killed in the process. But I guess, it would be nice to have Lana and Clark as friends instead of not standing to look/talk to each other. There was that one scene I forgot which episode where this one kid can see your future by touching you, he saw how Lana would die, an old lady in bed.

I really hope that's true, I got tired of Clana in season 3, but by season 5 it was absolutley annoying.

It would be a narrative dead-end, so I don't think we'll ever see them together again. But I think Lana's witch-form will come back this year, as it was only suppressed, not eradicated.

The kid that saw Lana die an old woman can't really be trusted. He also saw her die in a burning building till Clark showed up, who's to say he hasn't changed her future again and again?

[Tornado]

Season 5 DVD next week... I'm super pumped. And oh yeah, here's the official description for 601 - ZOD (I'll tag it, just in case):

CLARK IS TRAPPED IN THE PHANTOM ZONE WHILE ZOD TAKES OVER LEX’S BODY AND PLOTS TO DESTROY EARTH; JIMMY OLSEN JOINS THE DAILY PLANET — Thrown into the Phantom Zone, a Kryptonian jail created by Jor-El, Clark (Tom Welling) finds himself without powers and surrounded by revenge-seeking criminals sent away by his father. Meanwhile, having taken over Lex’s (Michael Rosenbaum) body, Zod keeps Lana (Kristin Kreuk) captive with a demand to sire him an heir and begins his plans to turn Earth into a Krypton-like planet using the alien ship’s hard drive. After Lois (Erica Durance) and Martha’s (Annette O’Toole) plane crashes near the Fortress of Solitude, Jor-El tells Martha how to kill Zod. Back at the Daily Planet, Chloe (Allison Mack) reunites with an old flame, Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore). John Glover also stars. Steven S. DeKnight wrote the episode directed by James Marshall (#2T7701).

And ah yes, here's a link for the second S6 trailer (all new footage): http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=05ACBC393C41D842

I know it's kind of girly, and it's awkward using that song for Lex and Lana when I tend to define Clark and Lana's relationship with that song, but it's not the song that's getting me excited. It's what Clark says: "I don't know where to go from here." Honestly... I'm praying that Clark is FINALLY going to start to embrace Jor-El and visit the Fortress for more training every once in a while.

[boydston_14]

Woot woot! Only 4 days until the DVD and 20 days until Season 6 starts!

[Spirited Away]

Him and Lois will finally get it on this year, I think anyway. Finale could have her kidnapped by, say, the White Martians or whatever escapes the Phantom Zone.

[boydston_14]

No, I think that if Lois and Clark ever get together on this show it'll be next season.

Granted, there are some low points ("Thirst" and "Fade" come to mind), but all in all it's a tremendous show, and I eagerly await the Season Six premiere: "Zod."

Michael Rosenbaum is disappointing me a bit. Based on all these previews I don't like his performance as Zod. Terence Stamp was so much better!

AGAIN, this is just based on previews. Maybe they're just picking the crappy scenes.

The CW site is cruel. It led me to believe that the season premiere is only 6 days away with a 2 hour running time. I was too excited at first to notice the details. http://cwtv.com/shows/smallville

Dude give the guy time. He is great as Lex Luthor so I don't think he will have a problem playing zod in lex's body. IMO The scenes I have seen look great and I can't wait for the Season Premiere.

The girls are looking really old school classy in the pic on the main page there. Who is the guy behind Jimmy Olsen is it the Green Arrow? And why aint there no other pics of him or Jimmy, hell Jimmy is even on the link to the photo gallery but isn't in it him self.

I don't think that's a spoiler but better safe than sorry.

[OBSERVER]

Yes. If Jimmy is not a spoiler then he isn't either. They will both be all over the Smallville commercials on tv.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. That must be a local station in your parts, because Channel 5 in my town is CBS.

It depends is that your WB Station that you watched SV on last year?

I live in LA, I know what you're talking about.

Yes, it's still being aired on KTLA (although its now called "The CW" instead of "The WB.)
