Smallville

By Quinn Another Smallville, another DC crossover.  This time, it’s the Wonder Twins that show up to meet Clark.  But just like what happened with Speedy a couple of episodes, it’s the Lois and Clark show that takes over.  And, in the end, that might just be what this show has become.

By Quinn I’m definitely not going to say the episode was perfect, but it seemed to be, in a lot of ways, a tribute to the Superman universe and Smallville itself.  The character of Jor-El has been a lot like the character of Lionel Luthor – where you’re constantly questioning whether or not Jor-El is a...

By Quinn The kiss itself?  It was spoiled in the promos, but it’s still a bit surprising that they’re going to the Lois-Clark relationship this soon.  I realize it was inevitable, and I do love the chemistry between Tom Welling and Erica Durance.  I’m interested in seeing how the relationship works...

By Waterloo Not that new fans, or disgruntled old ones, are going to care at this point. An old one like me, who’s been following the series arc from the start, will certainly appreciate the idea of Redemption, where you have the chance to clear away some of the clutter along with the characters, because...

By Quinn And that’s the part that I really liked.  I like the focus on Oliver, and I realize that Green Arrow has gone through similar problems in the comics.  But, honestly, I’m just ready for the fun Oliver to come back.  The final scene with Clark and Green Arrow on the rooftop is exciting stuff becaus...

By Quinn So let’s forget about it and focus on Oliver.  We learn this week that Oliver has been beating him up about Lex.  One week it’s Jimmy, one week it’s his parents, and one week it’s Clark.  I realize Oliver is human, and he’s made a lot of mistakes since meeting Clark…but can we get back to the fun Oli...

By Quinn Then there’s all of the stuff with Oliver.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I wish that Oliver was more “fun” on this show.  If Clark isn’t going to be the hero we all want him to be, I was hoping Green Arrow would fill that void.  It would be cool to see Oliver and the Blur teaming up to save...

By Quinn You can tell that the writers of Smallville really want this to be a story about Superman.  Tom Welling is still here, but they want to highlight the differences between their show and the one that was on the WB nine years ago.  Clark is living in Metropolis, is in love with Lois Lane, works [...]

By Quinn I think the solution is just to get Michael Rosenbaum back.  I don’t know what it would take, and from the sounds of things, it isn’t very likely.  But the show does better, I think, with smaller villains and Lex in the background. You have to give it to Lois, though.  Chloe and Dr. Hamilton claim th...

By Waterloo Sometimes he can also come off as Lex Luthor to Merlin’s Clark Kent (continuing similarities with ‘Smallville’ now), so it is a bit strange that the two are basically hanging out together with no idea what their future holds. Gaius seems to know, and Merlin ends up the frustrated future gre...

By Quinn Smallville “Doomsday” Originally Broadcast 5/14/08 It just seems like a slap in the face.  Maybe Clark will have to face both Zod and Doomsday, or maybe Clark will face Zod later.  I just can’t understand giving the fans nothing from Superman/Doomsday.

By Waterloo That’s why it’s confusing. While I didn’t develop the same problems with Lana Lang actress Kristin Kreuk as others viewers (and certainly enjoyed the dynamic Erica Durance brought as a new generation’s Lois), I guess I simply got tired of the show bringing in every and anyone from Clark’s...

By Lower Decks Staff The Hollywood Reporter notes that two of Smallville’s current “showrunners,” Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin, may leave the series if The CW’s pilot for Melrose Place is picked up. Kelly Sounders and Brian Peterson would remain to guide Smallville through its ninth season. The show’s cr...

By Diesel Micky Dolenz Chloe and Clark overhear Jimmy’s call and Clark rushes off to help. He finds the ambulance but no sign of Jimmy. Clark sees the shadow creature attacking Davis. It then turns on Jimmy, and Clark knocks the creature out by hurtling a tire at it. The creature turns out to be Randy, another of Chloe’...

By Diesel Micky Dolenz There was also a side story involving Oliver and Tess. They briefly rehash that Oliver cheated on her during their relationship then end up in bed together.  Oliver invites Tess to fly to Malibu with him, but she tells him it was only sex and walks out.

By Quinn The following column will preview season 8 of Smallville. There will be spoilers inside, and if you don’t want to know anything about the upcoming season, I would suggest you stop reading immediately. ...
