OH FFS Booooooooooooooo!!
LEEE777 - 11/14/2009, 8:46 AM
YOU KNOW I WISH THERE WAS ONE EPISODE WHERE CLARKS FUTURE SELF, A FULLY REALIZED SUPERMAN VISITS HIM IN ALL HIS SUPERMAN GLORY...SUIT AND ALL. YEAH AN I KNOE THE "WON'T ALLOW " BS IS IN EFFECT BUT WHY NOWADAYS? HECK BACK IN THE DAY U HAD LOUIS AND CLARK, THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN...SUPERMAN CARTOONS..MOVIE IS A MOVIE..TV IS TV. MAKING THESE NO POTENTIAL SUPERCHARACTERS APPEARING ON TV IS SUCH SUPER BULLSHET. IF YOU WANNA SPREAD SOMETHING GOOD AND UP THE APPEAL..DON'T YOU WANT TO GET IT OUT THERE THROUGH ALL MEDIA?
GUNSMITH - 11/14/2009, 8:50 AM
Is it me, or have the past few episodes of Smallville been really strong? It seems that as they're moving away from zombies and overall silliness, things are getting stronger and stronger. The emphasis on Lois and Clark has been terrific, the Jor-El/Zod story from last week very strong and last night's show -- and I can't believe I'm saying this about an episode featuring the Wonder Twins -- completely engrossing. Plus Lois' mind-flash to the future intriguing as hell. What think you all?
EdGross - 11/14/2009, 9:04 AM
EdGross- I am with you 100% on that, this might just be smallville's strongest season yet!! and ya, last night's episode was terrific! I can't wait for nest week
we get to see the future (lois's vision)!!
peterparker420 - 11/14/2009, 9:09 AM
yea this season is getting good and know clark got the glassess now he only needs the suit

flames809 - 11/14/2009, 9:13 AM
Yes...I agree Ed. I'm glad Smallville has gotten back on track....and on THAT note, I'm ok to wait a few more weeks on the JSA movie if that means it will be done right. Don't complain guys! You don't want it rushed!
Bamf7 - 11/14/2009, 9:25 AM
Bamf@ after 9 yrs and no superman the last thing they can be accused of is rushing lol :D
teabag - 11/14/2009, 9:26 AM
On the subject of Superman, the truth is we are not going to see that costume until the very last scene of the very last episode of the series, and Tom Welling will not be wearing it. Believe me, I really want to see him as full-fledged Superman, but the producers take the point of view that once he becomes Superman, the series is over. Smallville is about Clark's journey to becoming Superman.
EdGross - 11/14/2009, 9:38 AM
Ed@ the first 4 or 5 seasons were the journey the rest are about dragging the idea out as far as it can lol :)

I guess the reasons we are getting cameo's left right and centre are...


A:...Ratings

B....They ran out of ideas for Meteor infected powers lol
teabag - 11/14/2009, 9:48 AM
Ed: I agree, this season has been awesome! Im loving the whole Clark/Lois/Blur thing! And they finally getting to the nitty-gritty, and it’s the best season so far imo!

I’m also looking forward to Zod and his team getting his powers and fighting Clark that should be good! ;)

BigNick - 11/14/2009, 9:59 AM
i haven't watched last nights episode yet, but aside from the season opener i've been impressed with this season. its like they're taking the show seriously again like they did the first few seasons.
valeriesghost - 11/14/2009, 10:03 AM
I think part of the strengthening comes from the fact that instead of four executive producers guiding the show, there are two. Fewer voices, clearer vision, and it's finally paying off. I would not go so far as to say this is the best season by any means, but they certainly seem to have found their footing and are strengthening the show week to week. And this despite limitations in budget!
EdGross - 11/14/2009, 10:07 AM
@ GunSmith: I'm definitely feeling that angel. That would be a great episode that leads up to the season or series finale!
FistsOfJustice - 11/14/2009, 10:13 AM
I was not only suprised that last nights episode featuring the WonderTwins was watchable but very very good. Smallville utilized them perfectly.
Hawksblueyes - 11/14/2009, 10:32 AM
@lee and Tbag A. I really think t.v makes her nose looks like that cuz it was cute with a point when i saw her.and YES lee it was freaking awesome her boyfriends pretty awesome as well. They rented UP on blu ray.
Set2Fallfirst - 11/14/2009, 10:35 AM
I watched that "Mercy Reef" pilot about 2 years ago, and thought it was pretty decent. It was along the lines of Smallville, and Aquaman's story seemed pretty good. I wish that The CW would have picked it up.
Azrael83 - 11/14/2009, 10:39 AM
this season has been really surprising me with the quality of it. Much improved over last season, and if the movie is pushed back a week, that jus gives more time to make it better!

woo hoo!
jallanr - 11/14/2009, 10:43 AM
Me personally I hate the whole blur thing it's a pretty lame nickname and concept.Since he's not flying maybe he's Flash wearing the S-shield I guess that explains the BLUR. When Zod does get his powers the way they portray Clark I just dont see how he'd be able to stand against an egual. With Zod's military fighting background...come on Clark's a wimp with powers. He has no edge whatsoever Zod on the other hand seems like he's out for blood.
BLADE4040 - 11/14/2009, 11:02 AM
Set2@ Lucky man :)

Blade@ yep :)
teabag - 11/14/2009, 11:15 AM
You know I've heard a few people saying that Tom Welling could be a potential Superman for the reboot and I thought they were crazy. But after yesterday's episode, I think I've reconsidered that thought, He could very well be a great Superman for the reboot movie. Anyways, that's "shimckerdoodle", they're making us wait longer just to see the Justice Society episodes!
airbeyonder18 - 11/14/2009, 11:44 AM
airbeyond18, are you referring to one of the final moments when Clark talks to the Wonder Twins? He absolutely screamed Superman in that sequence, with or without the costume.
EdGross - 11/14/2009, 12:14 PM
and the best thing of yesterday episode was he finally getting the glassess. thats a good way to hind his identity from lois know

JoshW - 11/14/2009, 1:05 PM
SET @ I never said anything bout her nose, thats all teabag warped mind lol!!! Damn, if you see 'em again say SUPERGIRL spin off series a must!! ; D

LEEE777 - 11/14/2009, 1:06 PM
AZRAEL83 @ Me too!
LEEE777 - 11/14/2009, 1:07 PM
LEEE@ You told me she looked like bacon!! :D
teabag - 11/14/2009, 2:58 PM
I think you're right about the producers Ed@!
Too many cooks in the kitchen do tend to spoil
the broth!

This season has been so improved it's like it's
not the same ppl doing the show anymore! I don't
really know the reason for the improvement, all I
do know is I really like it!
DDD - 11/14/2009, 3:27 PM
MisterUnderhill@ Thats right one day it will end lol...sorry couldnt resist :D
teabag - 11/14/2009, 3:36 PM
I will admit I've never seen an episode of Smallville. I have heard great things about it but never have been able to bring myself to check it out. It looks like a teen drama meets the Supes mythos. Someone please tell me I wrong because I want to give it a try.
juggy4711 - 11/14/2009, 3:39 PM
Juggy@ nope its a teen drama alright :P
teabag - 11/14/2009, 3:41 PM
thats coz she dose tea.!! lol
lc - 11/14/2009, 4:13 PM
AHHH i'm sooo upset about this
still wondering when we're gunna see a GL in Smallville
IonGL2814 - 11/14/2009, 4:14 PM
lc@ lmao
teabag - 11/14/2009, 4:15 PM
Grrrrrr lol!!!
LEEE777 - 11/14/2009, 5:30 PM
The last episode was very good, considering who the special guest characters were.

But one thing stuck out that annoyed me, the Dark Knight rip-off sub-plot. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up yet. It was so obvious, TDK had the Batman must reveal himself story-line and now Smallville copied that. It really annoyed me. First they rip-off the Superman Returns roof-top shoot-out scene, now they rip-off TDK.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 11/14/2009, 5:30 PM
Alright it is a teen drama but I'm 31 years old. Is it too late for me to enjoy it?
juggy4711 - 11/14/2009, 5:42 PM
Last night i stood up out my seat when he putnon those glasses. Then the speech with the wonder twins was awesome. Blackzero reference is being well played out. Smallville made up for a lot.

Crusader - 11/14/2009, 5:44 PM
juggy4711, I sure as hell hope not. I'm 49 and when it's good, I really do enjoy it.

And, Crusader, like i said earlier, even without the costume, Tom Welling WAS Superman when he delivered that speech. Very cool moment.
EdGross - 11/14/2009, 6:07 PM
@Crusader



I did the same thing dude. When I saw him bring out those glasses I was damn near speechless.

Yes Comic Book Movie......Unmasked had a nerdgasam.


You've been UNMASKED!
Unmasked - 11/14/2009, 6:23 PM
DENG I WISH WE COULD SEND THIS WHOLE POST TO THE SMALLVILLE GROUP TO SHOW, KEEP IT UP YOUVE TURNED THINGS AROUND AND WERE LIKING WHAT YOUR DOING....YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS...AS CLARK GETS CLOSER TO BECOMING SUPERMAN, MORE THINGS THAT WE AS FANS THAT ARE VERY FAMILIAR TO US START TO HIT THE BRAIN SIGNALS..SMALLVILLE IS STARTING TO HIT THE BELLS THAT WE AS FANS WANT TO SEE DONE..WISH FULFILMENT ALWAYS BREEDS A FOLLOWING.
GUNSMITH - 11/14/2009, 6:30 PM
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!
Magicfingers - 11/14/2009, 9:46 PM
i dont want 2 wate tell feb 5 damn
thedarkknight666 - 11/15/2009, 4:43 AM
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SMALLVILLE MOVIE THAT HAS SMALLVILLE IN A TIME WARP AND IS VISITED BY ANOTHER CLARK KENT FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE AND TIME . ( LIKE THE OLD GEORGE REEVES SUPERMAN )MAKING SMALLVILLE THE DARKER
SUPERMAN . JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT , ADD A FEW TWIST AND TURNS . AND TIE UP A FEW LOOSE ENDS .
SOUPYJOE - 11/15/2009, 9:21 AM
I have been watching this show from the building and I love the way they are portraying things this season. Like many of you I was really worried when I heard that the Wonder Twins would be on and that you would see Gleek. but they pulled it off great. I dont mind waiting for the Society episode as long as they continue at this pace.

InTylerWeTrust82: I thought the same thing you did about that being a scene from right from the Dark Knight but it worked in this one as well.

And bringing out the glasses at the end was awesome.
lexkal66 - 11/15/2009, 3:28 PM
It was probably pushed back to keep the rest of the season on track since both hours were not originally meant to air on the same night.
HarrisonBergeron - 11/15/2009, 4:12 PM
@lexkal66- Love the avatar. Clone Superboy is one of my all-time favourite comic characters. Very underrated.
Magicfingers - 11/15/2009, 5:42 PM
Probably arguing over the no flight rule. Three heroes from the Justice Society that can fly and one of them has wings. If they ground these heroes I will be done with this show. IDIOTS!
hewilldefytheirgravity - 11/15/2009, 7:50 PM
@hewilldefytheirgravity- That rule only applies to Clark. I don't think this will be a bomb. But if it does... say goodbye to season 10!
Magicfingers - 11/15/2009, 8:34 PM
good smallville is retarded, he should have been superman/boy with the costume a long time ago, now with the matrix suerman costume.....this show is retarded.
like a soap opera
DAYs of OUR SUPERMAN
or ONE SUPERLIFE to LIVE
or ALL my SUPERCHILDREN
blee947 - 11/16/2009, 7:02 AM
What's RETARDED is these Smallville Haters who hate on a show that has probably been the BEST, yes I said BEST Interpretation of the Superman Mythos since THE DONNER FILMS! Think about it, the show's been on 9 Seasons GOING ON 10! What other show based on a comic book Character has lasted that long?!? NONE!

How Long did George Reeve's Superman stay on TV? NOT AS LONG AS SMALLVILLE!
& Adventures of Superboy? NOT AS LONG AS SMALLVILLE!
What about Lois & Clark? NOT AS LONG AS SMALLVILLE!
Any of the Animated Series? NOT AS LONG AS SMALLVILLE!
& what other Supes interp does anyone know that has mixed ALL versions of the Mythos in 1 great show?!?

PROOF?!? Though you'd NEVER ask:
1)The Origin, Kryptonian language & Symbols, Lex & Clark being Friends & Lex being bald since he was young & not ashamed of AKA No Effing WIGS!!=THE MODERN COMICS
2)The Fortress & Crystals,Zod,Krypton Council, Pa kent dying of Heart Attack, Phantom Zone, EVEN the mention of Ben EFFING Hubbard=DONNER FILMS
3)Jimmy calling Clark "CK",The Daily Planet Bullpen looking almost the same,Cat Grant,LUTHORCORP & Lex being a Corporate Titan & not Mad Scientist, Ma & Pa Kent ALIVE as help & Guidance=LOIS & CLARK TV SHOW
4)Lois calling Clark "Smallville", Clark actually being Competition for scooping Lois, a Lady named "Mercy" as Lex's right hand=SUPERMAN ANIMATED SERIES

& of course, Smallville gets most of its ideas from THE TRUE SOURCE, The Comics! What other show have you seen do live interps of DC's Superheroes & Characters? Nowhere but SMALLVILLE!

PROOF?!? Brace Yourself:
SEASON 3-Perry White, Morgan Edge
SEASON 4-Lois,The Flash, Mxyzptlk, Krypto the Dog
SEASON 5-Brainiac,Aquaman,Acrata,Cyborg
SEASON 6-Jimmy Olsen,Green Arrow,Martian Manhunter
SEASON 7-Supergirl,Black Canary,Dax-Ur,Zor-El,Lara, Bizzaro
SEASON 8-Doomsday,Maxima,Faora,the Legion,Toyman,Bruno Mannheim, Zatanna
SEASON 9- THE CLARK KENT RIMMED GLASSES!! Metallo, Zod, The Kandorians, Prof Hamilton, Speedy, Wonder Twins, Jor-El, the mention of Black Zero, mention of The Rao Prophecy & NOW Hawkman, Dr Fate & The Justice Society, Cat Grant, Amanda Waller & OTHERS TO COME!!!

Oh & BTW, not to mention the Guest Appearances of Superman Alumn that Smallville gets from EVERY INTERP of the Mythos.
PROOF?!? Christ, I Love being Right:
SEASON 2 & 3-Christopher Reeve, Terrence Stamp
SEASON 4-Margot Kidder
Season 7-Dean Cain, Marc McClure, Helen Slater


So Yea, w/o Smallville some you FANBOYS wouldnt have your Queer Manips making DC Heroes look different w/ new Costumes, & no matter what you say you have enjoyment seeing Comic Heroes come to life whether it be good or bad! Granted, Smallville hasnt been 100% true or close to Superman Comics but theyre doing things on that show that the "Superman Movie Dept" only wishes they could. Seen Brainiac on a Superman Movie? NOPE. What about Doomsday? SORRY! You put some Smallville ideas w/ a new villian, GEOFF JOHNS IN CHARGE OF SCRIPT, New cast, New Superman suit, The "Glasses Clark Kent", a Hollywood Movie Budget, Great CGI & you'll have the Superman Film of your DREAMS!!

So sit back, relax & watch a GREAT SHOW w/ Young Hot Cast, that does, IMO, a New,Different, Exciting & Loyal Interpretation of The Greatest Superhero Ever..

WERD....To your Mother

GEOFF JOHNS for Script for Superman Reboot!!
JJ ABRAMS for Director for Superman Reboot!!
