So basically, Lex is off the show, and replaced with some ugly chick playing Tess. She's sufficiently bitchy though.

Green Arrow is a mainstay now, and there's an infant Justice League thing going on here. His team is basically him, Aquaman, and Black Canary.

She's pretty hot, but they haven't shown her much.

(http://www.tvjab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/screenshot_02.jpg)

Clark is a Daily Planet employee now. He still doesn't have a suit.

The people making the show said they never wanted Supes in his outfit.

That said, I'm glad I stopped watching, the stories with Lex were going downhill and honestly Rosenbaum was the only reason left to watch the show.

Yeah, Rosenbaum is very good. I hope to see him in other things..

I'll stick around though. I'm basically just watching True Blood and Californication. Might as well cram this in there for a bit.

You would probably like Supernatural. Start with season 1.

Will do.. I saw a little ad during one of the Smallville eps I was watching actually. Was kinda curious...

Well, if it's that easy.

You would probably like coming to Austin, letting me punch you in the face for $100 and then buying me beer on 6th St. Though, I could just go for the beer instead if the punching in the face is a little forward.

So bored.

I'm bored too, man. No, actually, I'm just pissed for a variety of things and bringing boredom upon myself. Believe me though, you have it better there than here. Austin's cool.

Sorry that shit ain't cracking up up there at the moment... You should CSR for Blizzard...maybe that'll be exciting. Haha.


[edit] Actually, have you tried Dell... especially their server/hosting shit? Or is Roundrock too out of the way for ya?

I would rather let a chihuahua chew on my balls then work CSR for Blizzard. Or for Blizzard in any capacity really. The last thing I want is to ruin the magic of Diablo for myself.

I don't really want to try Dell. I'm trying to stay out of the support thing if possible for a year or so.

They couldn't even if they wanted to.

What is Supes?

A nickname for Superman.

Ok.  Sorry about that.  Totally didn't understand.

No worries.

I have a feeling we are gonna see a full blown Superman.  I think it'll be in the series finale though.

Won't that blast out the back of the females head ?

 :why_so_serious:

I haven't seen this show in ages but I'd tune in again for this!

Won't happen because of trademark and copyright issues (same reason why no suit).

I knew that was part of it...  but I thought it was the original producers, who left the show last year, that took the hardline on no costume and flying.

Given the success, Trippy, I'm pretty sure that the 'legal' argument is totally moot at this point. They could fix that clause in seconds with a pile of money.

Success.. Yeah, I'm surprised that this has been going on for 8 seasons already. That's pretty rare. If they're going to show off anything resembling "Superman" though, they better hurry. 8 seasons is pushing it.

Well sure if the owners of the show were willing to cough up a ton of money to WB I'm sure something could be arranged.

So is anybody still watching this? Anything good happening? I've missed this season so far and while I used to love the show, I strangely have no interest in tuning in anymore.

I think I may be the only one.  :wink:

I've watched Smallville since it started.  This season hasn't been too bad, but it's definitely going farther down the actual Superman story then about the whole Clark and Lana thing.  Now it actually has the whole Clark and Lois thing going, as well as the beginnings of the Justice League. 

The show hasn't always been great but it was pretty much the only superhero show worth watching til Heroes.. and I actually probably like Smallville more then Heroes at this point.

Is Lana dead? That is the only thing that would bring me back to this show.

The character isn't dead, but took off on a more permanent note.. The actress is no longer part of the cast. Nor is Lex.

Should have happened 6 years ago (or whenever it was that they graduated).

She was hot at least.. Although I prefer Erica Durance.

I think Lex Luther is the Bailout Czar now.

The last episode featured the introduction of Maxima, she was pretty much used to show the growing attraction between Lois and Clark.

Last night's Smallville was awesome. I've heard they're actually considering doing another season and if they can keep it to this level I think they should get it.

Was a great episode, really liked how they incorporated the Legion.  This whole season has been pretty good though, since they ditched the original producers, it's definitely gone more into a true superhero TV show then Dawson's Creek.

Just want to say, I stopped watching because they turned Rosenbaum as Lex into a helpless yutz and he was my favorite character - by a fair margin.

I liked Rosenbaum too, but so far I haven't really missed him much this season. 

The wonderfulness of getting rid of Lana kind of balanced out the suckiness of losing Lex.

She's nowhere near as annoying in the couple episodes she was in this season though. 

Although I read an interview earlier this week saying Rosenbaum would be willing to come in for the end of the show for some eps.  I really think the show is going to season 9, its not like Tom Welling has alot on his plate.

I liked how Clark was all "Superman" without having to fly or shoot things with his heat vision. It's bugged me that whenever other supers are introduced, they steal Clark's thunder. He's the one who should be saving people, giving inspirational speeches, etc etc. NOT having his neck saved by Green Arrow while Aquaman tells him he should use his powers for good. That's good once in a while, but not all the freaking time. Sooo...yeah, things turning around, I'm liking it, or at least have a reason to watch it again this week.

Aquaman shouldn't be saying anything to Superman except "Thank you for letting someone as completely fucking useless as me hang around you.  Here's your paper and coffee, sir."

No. Who the hell wants a simpering fool uttering shit like that? Just get the damned coffee and don't speak unless you're told to.

OK, after the latest episode I'm just about all Lanaed out. It's really, really, really time for her to just get the hell out.

I seriously thank God that Lana's last episode is next week.

I want more Pew Pew less QQ.

Well they took care of the whole Lana problem.

Did they kill her?  I'm hoping her career nosedives so she poses for Playboy.  :drill:

Yeah, I'm a dick.

No, her skin is now made of Kryptonite.

I don't care if she's green as long as she's nekkid.

Go go Season 9.  They got picked up for another season, which is great.   :awesome_for_real:

So, tonight's episode was pretty good. Whats her name from 90210 plays a good evil bitch.

English actor Callum Blue (Alex on “Secret Diary of A Call Girl”) will play iconic Krypton criminal mastermind Zod on the ninth season of “Smallville.”


Does our Zod approve of the casting?

Is he Superman yet? Cause I'll start watching again when he does that. I liked the non-Superman Clark Kent for about five years, but after almost a decade it's getting kinda meh.

It's hard to believe that this is still on TV.

And yes, I believe he's Superman now. Probably mainly because it's hard to have a 34 year old Clark Kent in Smallville High. Unless his superpowers include leaping statutory rape charges in a single bound, etc.

Well I mean with the flying around and super suit and secret identity.

I'm pretty sure Time Warner has their cockblock* still in place so that's not going to happen anytime soon.

* The "Superboy" IP is in different hands (owned by the Siegels) than the Superman IP (owned by Time Warner) so things like the name "Superman", the costume including the "S" and all that stuff is owned by Time Warner.

That's no excuse! I want Superman by cracky!  :mob:  Hm, I thought Smallville was a Time Warner show, or at least produced by WB. Different station, different contract? I never understood that.

Okay, so he still isn't Superman technically, but is he at least actively being a superhero at this point?  Or is it still mostly just a guy trying to live his life but these damn powers are getting in the way kind of deal?  Has he "embraced his destiny," so to speak, even if he's not engaging in the trademarked aspects of Superman's character?

Yes and no.  It's more about the decisions and everything he goes through to become the Superman of the future.  Alot of the Romance/drama is gone thankfully because Lana is off the show, and as much as I liked Lex, it's kind of refreshing to have him gone last season.  

The character is at the stage where he knows the world needs him to be a hero, but everyone keeps getting hurt around him and he keeps blaming himself.. and this keeps him from accepting his "destiny".
Although he still acts as the "red-blue blur" saving people and doing his heroic duties, he's just not "Superman" yet.

And he's a raging dick.  Clark Kent on Smallville is one of my most unlikable characters ever.

I just posted to see if Ironwood would comment.......................

On my way to the Slayer/Megadeth concert Wed night I walked past Kristen Kruek (sp?) on the street. That girl needs to eat a sammich.

Yeah, I could see that working.

So it looks like Tom Welling is going to finally wear a Superman outfit.  Looks like they are slowly showing it off at Comic-Con with Welling doing a full reveal in the suit on Sunday.  The suit will make it's TV debut on the episode "Superman", the first episode of Season 9.

One thing though, the suit has no cape.

Now I know the Lois character hasn't been written to be terribly bright but it'll be interesting to see how the show justifies her being so mind bogglingly stupid that all Clark has to do is take off his glasses (which he doesn't actually wear yet) for her to be unable to recognize him in his new suit.

Maybe he'll put ON the glasses when he's in the suit.

Also - no cape? Meh.

After marathon-ing the first 8 seasons, I was basically of the opinion that they had nowhere left to go but to put him in the suit. Thank god. I'm happy they kept him out of it this long, but it's just how things had to go.

I wonder if they'll bring his mom back for an episode to make it for him.

He already has worn the glasses, but it was only for a couple episodes if I remember right.  The whole secret identity thing has been brought up a couple times by Chloe.

Supposedly the new season is going to start with him embracing the red-blue blur and him ignoring his clark kent life.   The suit is also only it's first incarnation, so probably why he has no cape.  There was an episode a few seasons back all about the cape, so I'm sure when the Metropolis TV Movie comes out, it'll probably show up then and not during the last season.

I felt they had nowhere to go but Superman after the fourth season. Then they did four more seasons without Superman anyway.  :uhrr:  There were some good episodes in there, to be sure, but still...nowhere. Finally getting around to it at Season 9 seems a bit anti-climactic to me.

Seasons 7 and 8 were the highlight of the series for me, and given who they've cast for key roles in 9, I really have no clue what you're talking about.

The series picked up definitely after they got through the High School stuff.. But I agree with Schild.  The reason this show keeps going is because the last couple of seasons have been very strong showings.  Considering the show has been on it's "last season" since the 6th season, and keeps going strong.

Wow, really? I stopped watching after season 6, so I don't know what you're talking about. Literally!

I'll bet 1,000 gold in WoW that this Superman thing doesn't happen after all. I'm callin' bullshits! But if I'm wrong (ha!) you have to collect on Blackhand.

Did they do the reveal at Comic-Con yet? I'm surprised personally that Time Warner is going to let them do this after all these years.

Supposed to be on Sunday.  With Tom Welling making his first ever Comic-Con appearance.

At this point, it's the least of their worries regarding Superman.

Yeah, let TW be Superman on TV.  Then after a year or two bring out a new Superman movie to re-start the franchise.  Hey, we'll get Abrams to direct, it'll be a smash!  Let's have lunch! Call me! Luv ya!

They need to start production on a Superman movie by 2011, but plans for really rebuilding the franchise might be a bit premature until they see what they can work out with Siegel and Shuster's heirs in 2013 (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005806.html?categoryid=13&cs=1).

Well they didn't do a reveal of the costume like it was rumored was going to happen, but they did show him in the costume on the season 9 preview clips.

Also looks like they are going for a Season 10.

Also there's going to be a Chloe-Lois sex scene.   :drill:

I'll be in my bunk.

Holy crap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgG7_aOjp4Q

 :ye_gods:

Cape and everything.

I like the outfit, and the fact they didn't just jump him into the iconic uniform.  I mean really... have to admit the Superman outfit is kinda gay looking.

Shit, new costume looks cool!  I'll have to start watching this show again.  9th season, wow.  What day and time does this come on?

Okay so my doubts about TW granting usage rights of the Superman trademarks and copyrights weren't unfounded as they aren't using the "Superman" costume.

It's still very similar to the black Superman costume used in the comics though.

HAHA WOW

That's fucking awesome.

I can't tell what the S looks like on his chest from the video. If it is in fact the Superman stylized "S" then they would've had to have gotten permission from TW for that and maybe TW and the Siegel heirs worked something out.

I'm pretty sure it's the Superman-S. They've been using that symbol a lot, like on rings and hieroglyphs and such. I can't imagine they'd be blocked entirely from using it. If they are, then TW needs to get crackin' and sue them for the past eight years of throwin' it around!

The biggest flaw of Superman as a character for television is that the costume, while iconic at the time he was conceived in the 30s, simply has not aged well, and looks pretty ridiculous on film (though I concede he can be made to look pretty good in print)

I honestly thought the point of the "Death of Superman" storyline was to revamp him, and I really liked the black costumn they had him in for a while. But they shoved him back in the red and blue for whatever reason.

That costume they have in the show looks pretty good, though you cant see it clearly

Alot of this stuff was because of the original showrunners Gough and Millar.  They were the ones that never wanted to see him in the suit or flying.  Since they haven't been part of the show since season 7 that has pretty much changed.

TW lost the rights to the "Superboy" IP (which is separate from the "Superman" IP) in 2006 when a judge reverted the rights back to the Siegel heirs (since Joe Siegel is dead). The Siegel heirs claim that they own the rights to Superboy properties from 2004 on (the date the Judge backdated their rights reversion to) including the Smallville episodes made since that point. TW of course disagrees so there's been this contention since that point over who owns the Superboy character on the show.

Interesting. Since the show started in 2001, that would mean he was Superboy only through 2004. Buuuuuut I'm sure that's been brought up already in their wacky proceedings.

And I agree the red and blue look good in comics. I think the black or the white ones look lame because of the medium. But in TV or film, the black or the white would be just fine.

(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg99/Evildrider/wellingsmallville.jpg)

Is that some Kryptonian cross between a trenchcoat and a smoking jacket?

That's his pimp coat.

It's some kind of awesome is what it is.

That is not what awesome looks like.  That is what you get when 8 seasons into a show you still can't decide if it's about Superman or not.

Looks like there going for "dark" superman. Yeah really  :oh_i_see:

Dark Superman works for me. 

It's supposed to be his first attempt at a costume.  I mean even if I had superpowers, I would not be jumping into a friggin skintight body suit.

How is that even an attempt at a costume?  Just because he slapped the s-shield on it in what looks like chalk or spraypaint?  If not for that, it would just be a picture of Clark Kent getting ready for a night on the town.  Hell, even with the S I'm sure most people would just assume it's some sort of designer label.

Well it plays into the whole issue of how do you hide the secret identity of a man who doesn't wear a mask.

I approve of Season 9, all of it.

Wow, they really borrowing from the Superman comic recent plot lines. Not a lot of ham in this episode but could have done without the Clark still can't fly bits.

I still like the show but I'm desperately hoping he grows out of being an angsty teen sometime before his 30th birthday.

Its the horrible balancing act of creating most of villains while he is still a teenager while at the same time trying to fulfill the cannon of a 30 year old superman....I don't expect the angst to go away sadly.

I'm not up on modern Superman lore. Is the young Major Zod something official from there?

That whole episode felt totally comic booky. Can they keep it up? We shall see!


Edit again for spoiler tags.

8 fucking seasons.

(http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-60045558436995_2066_8344672)

I loved this show when it first came out. But god-DAMN. They've turned it into the "How close can he get to being Superman without acually being Superman" retardo-show.

They definitely took too long getting here. This should be season 5 or something.

Okay, that was honestly pretty good. They even had a little subtlety now and then. Brian Austin Green was good; I actually care a bit about Metallo. He's not just BAD GUY RAR! I loved the Terminator reference. I do wish Clark came in at the end wearing his glasses. Overall though, yeah. Pretty good.

I'm getting really tired of the Green Arrow story arc. I'm having trouble even getting through this week's episode. Maybe it's time for him to join Lex and Lana.

Okay I am REALLY liking this season. Characterization could stand to be a little deeper, but overall, loved the TV show idea, and I'm even liking Chloe again. I wasn't too keen on the SuperHacker omgWATCHTOWER thing, because it was way too cheesy, but when she dragged Oliver out of the gutter the way she did, and then tonight she out-hacked the other hacker, she became a bit more interesting to me.

I wish they went with the TV show thing more, or at least came back to it, which they probably won't.

I really don't care for Luther-ette. She's dumb. She's why I didn't watch last season.

Hawt Speedy! Very cool arc for Oliver. I wasn't too keen on him either, but he's growing on me again.

Damn, did they show an episode tonight?  I got preempted for sports :(

I thought it was on fridays?

I guess the Chicago market got pre-empted til Sunday.  But I saw it, was a good episode.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that The CW has decided to turn "Smallville's" upcoming Justice Society-themed two-parter into a two hour movie event airing on January 29.

Written by Geoff Johns, the episodes - titled "Society" and "Legends" and featuring such DC Comics stalwarts as Stargirl, Hawkman, and Dr. Fate - were originally designed to air separately.

Scooper 'CW Insider' also tells us that The CW gave the two-parter a huge budget upgrade.

Sweeeeet.

Yea, that's pretty great.

Now if they'd just take out all the Smallville cast and just make it Geoff Johns doing a 2 hour JSA thing, I'd be really happy.

I could definitely do without "OMGWatchTowar" for that entire episode.

What what ok now Chloe is a little more interesting again.

 :ye_gods:

And GLASSES.

And now I cannot play Dragon Age because I don't want to dilute the awesomeness of Smallville this season!

Smallville has been excellent this season.  I liked this episode alot, although we could have used a bit more Wonder Twin action. 

So all the recent costumes have been sorta modern, not exactly comic bookish but more vigilantie "realistic"...then Justice Society hits and they go apeshit with spandex and freaky helmets and GODDAMN FEATHERY WINGS ON HAWKMAN!

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2009/11/smallville-get-a-look-at-the-justice-society.html

 :ye_gods:

This'll be interesting....

People need to be more excited about this!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATt_jYt3_AY

 :ye_gods:

 :ye_gods:

Ok I didn't miss it, it comes on tonight!  I don't care too much for the JSA except for Dr. Fate.  Dude is cool.  So the JSA gets a live action show before the JLA?  Interesting.

YES.

TONIGHT.


Edit to add: SHIT! (http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/01/28/smallville-absolute-justice-trailer/)

I am clearly too excited and this will not live up to my expectations and I will be sad and cut myself afterwards!!!

 :ye_gods:

Really enjoyed it.  Not what I was expecting but the script was very good, lots of nice nods to the comics. 

Oh man that was awesome. AWESOME.  :ye_gods:


Good stuff. GOOD STUFF!

That was a great episode last night.  I really have little to no complaints about it at all.   :awesome_for_real:

Wow. Really good episode. They've earned another season.

Wow. Haven't really been following Smallville since it was kind of fun but Clark Kent the boy with super powers in hicksville USA + Teenage Drama got old after 2 seasons. This was awesome though, gonna watch the rest of this season too now. They really did pull everything out of the comics for this one, compared to the earlier seasons I'd seen that was a huge shock. Looking forward to some more characters getting introduced. Also I loved the JSA, I'm really hoping we get to see some Alan Scott and Ted Grant in the future.

My thoughts on the plot:

She did say that was coming: 

 :drill: :awesome_for_real:

Hm, maybe that's it; I really hate that character, so I guess I didn't pay attention to her monologuing.

The final scene of last night's Smallville was both disturbing and a spectacularly stupid and dangerous thing for Clark to do from miles away in the middle of a city.

I think he was making a point.

That look on Zod's face was eerie. I get the feeling he wanted Clark to do that....

Of course, now he can spin Clark as an enemy to Candorians <sp?>

Well Zod written clark off as a pussy the moment he saw him. He had the "so the little boy wants to be a man" look on his face.

    “SMALLVILLE” TO RETURN FOR A TENTH SEASON ON THE CW

    March 4, 2010 ( Burbank , California ) ─ The CW Network has announced that its hit series “Smallville” will return in the fall of 2010 for a momentous tenth season.

    “Smallville,” a modern retelling of the Superman legend, stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent . The series moved to Friday nights this season, where it currently ranks as network television’s #1 show in its time period among men 18-34 and men 18-49. Additionally, “Smallville” has dramatically improved The CW’s ratings performance in its Friday 8:00-9:00p.m.time period by 67% among adults 18-34 (1.5/6), 200% in men 18-34 (1.8/7), 75% in adults 18-49 (1.4/5), 183% in men 18-49 (1.7/6) and 74% in total viewers (3.12million).

    “Smallville” joins the five previously announced series – “The Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “Supernatural” and “ America ’s Next Top Model” – which will all return for another season on The CW.

    “Smallville” was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

Okay so last week's episode, I really liked the character interplay at the bed and breakfast. That's something the series has been missing a lot lately. I wish there wasn't that banshee thing going on so we could have more wacky superdating hijinx. Heh. "Look Chloe, there's food!" YANK.

I really hope that Luthorcorps chick dies soon. Does anybody like her? Ugh. I did like how Zod was subconsciously trying to be like Clark, going to his home, calling himself the Blur, etc. OMG subtext! Obvious, sure, but for this series it's positively subtle!

Did Clark have his powers when he boned Lana?

I think when they actually boned it was when he had lost his powers for a short time.

Okay that would make sense. I know they were wondering if his sperm would shoot through her pelvis or something, but I thought they answered that before now.

I think with the last few episodes and the season finale that they deserved a 10th season. 

Oh fuck yeah.

 :ye_gods:

Is it getting cancelled? Or was that a, "They really earned that 10th season!" comment? Although  Aside from that I have been loving this season.

They got picked up for a 10th season awhile back.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
..................................................

(Warning, most annoying fans ever plus crappy video quality and also )

That looked pretty damn sweet.   :drill:

Finally!

Last bits in better quality:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VWpoBmiTHo

Ok now that's how you tease a season!  Although I really like his black supes suit, he just got to wear the real thing.
I'd have him be Superman the last episode of the show and then come back next year with "Metropolis" where he is fully Superman. 

"Metropolis" is unlikely. Tom Welling is all about the Hellcats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5b3rAxj8G8) now. (Can't say as I blame him. BOWCHIKKAWOWOW)

Let the show lie fallow for a few years - long enough for the actors to realize they're nobodies without it. Then bring everyone back for Metropolis.

That's unfairly harsh.

I predict a Star Trek kinda thing, where they all take a year off then randomly direct episodes of Hellcats.

Oh I dunno. I googled Michael Rosenbaum and he hasn't done anything of consequence since leaving Smallville. Do you think the others will have better luck after a decade of type casting?

About 4 seasons too late.

Well, so far, Kristin Kreuk has landed the title role in the sequel to one of the worst movies I've ever seen (Street Fighter), and a guest-star role on a TV show that I thought had been cancelled (Chuck). So your hypothesis is holding up.

Possibly.  But with that new haircut she's earned a permanent place in my heart.

 :heart:

 :awesome_for_real:

Next Time, on Smallville...

[crap image]

Fucking douches. It's Supergirl. Take 2!

(http://www.scificool.com/images/2010/09/smallville-1003-supergirl-promo-images-01.jpg)

Now we're making some progress. It looks like they're wrapping up the show nicely.

Yeah, at first I thought it was a cop-out, showing Clark his future. It makes it too easy for him to focus, too convenient. He was always looking to his past and future, but now he knows what's in store, he has nothing to worry about. "So that's what I become?" he says, amazed at his future self. "K!" He then tosses away all his regrets and fears. If any doubt or trepidation come back, as they always do, all he has to do is remember his trip to his own future, and he's back on the path.

Maybe, given what's at stake, he needed something so monumental to kick him into gear. Dunno.

Think happy thoughts, Clark!

All this plot advancing is making me very happy. It must be a huge relief to the writers not to have to stupidly add in delay after delay just to keep the show from ending anymore.

Obligatory Halloween episode, la te da, blah blah etc...but...I gotta say, I never really cared for the Lex subplot until tonight. Oh man. That little dude was creee-e-e-e-e-e-eppy.  :why_so_serious:

And that was seriously the best episode of Smallville I've seen, all series. I mean shit, Aquaman is revealed to be working with his wife Mira as terrorists for the people, blowing up oil rigs, while Green Arrow turned himself in to the government in a new "partnership" where superheros reveal their identities and register, and Clark is trying to keep EVERYBODY from screwing up, climaxing with everybody using their powers to rescue each other from death traps. "Green Arrow is drowning and Aquaman is roasting but I Mira will use that water to rescue Aquaman, OHNOES now I am trapped under heat lamps" "Don't worry, I Green Arrow will take pieces of the broken aquarium and throw them with my awesome aimskillz to break the controls to the heat lamps" and SHIT. It shoulda been this awesome like four years ago.

Thank you Smallville for letting Black Canary grow her hair out.

Michael Rosenbaum returns as Lex for the series finale.   :drill:

And the Little Lex isn't...exactly what he seems.

http://blog.cwtv.com/2011/02/14/learn-the-true-identity-of-alexander-luthor-if-you-dare/

This blew me away, in a way I didn't think was possible.

Yeah, it's a great little swerve.  I was all  :ye_gods:

And it all led up to the worst episode in ten fucking years of Smallville.

This is me cleansing that fetid shit from my mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoejLjTx8hQ

Oh, Smallville. The only thing missing was Lana coming back to cry for us while some pop ballad played in the background.

All blurry CGI Superman from a distance? No Tom Welling in the suit? I just don't get it.
