Smallville 9.09 - Pandora
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Wed, Nov 25
Lois had just one conscious scene in the present day, with Clark at the DP, and she was wonderful in it. Her near panic when Clark insisted on talking about "Lois and Clark, Clark and Lois, as a couple" was too funny, and the way she outlined their future dates once he won her over was pure Lois. Cl...

I've transcribed just a couple of quotes from the interview where Allison mentions Tom below. Allison: Everyone at Smallville was so cool. I think Allison Mack was my favorite, because she was just, she's so smart, and she's such a great actress, and adorable! Hello with the girl crush!
Smallville 9.07 - Kandor
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Nov 9
There were many other little shout outs to existing mythology, from Zod's reference to the "bottled up hopes and dreams of Kandor," to the floating giant heads and spinning rings of Krypton's Ruling Council, to Jor-El's fond memories of his visit to Smallville as a young man, just to name...
Cassidy Freeman Interview with Newsarama

• Thu, Nov 5
One of my favorite scenes in Rabid was the one where Clark and Lois go to check on Tess in the hospital. I loved how Clark showed such compassion for Tess, even though she has proved to be dangerous, unpredictable, and a potential threat to him personally. That's my Superman! I was also totally...
Smallville 9.06 - Crossfire
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Sun, Nov 1
What I would have liked better was to see Oliver help Lois out by using his considerable charm to make her date look fabulous, and maybe push Clark into declaring himself by tormenting him with a little outrageous flirting, with all of it being just for show. But at least Lois was unequivocal...
A Christian TV Review of Smallville?
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Oct 26
Clark Kent, the “savior”, took it upon himself to fight her with barn equipment — hacksaws, hoes, poking sticks and rakes — and then finally threw a large suspended motor into her torso. She died a slow, painful death and then Clark secretly buried her body.
Smallville 9.05 - Roulette
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Sun, Oct 25
I did enjoy seeing Lois be a good friend to Oliver. I have to keep reminding myself how little she really knows about him. She knows about Green Arrow, but not the Justice League, or Lex, or his role in what happened with Doomsday and Jimmy. And she has no idea about the true nature of his relations...
Smallville 9.04 - Echo
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Oct 19
And then they ruined it by bringing in Fake!Lex again! Grrr. Listen, Smallville. Michael Rosenbaum gave you seven glorious years of a deliciously complex, beautifully acted Lex Luthor, but when he left, so did his character. Please stop insulting his memory by giving us fakes! And Oliver w...
Smallville 9.03 - Rabid
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Oct 12
This week's episode advanced everyone's storyline at least a little bit. Clark is back at the Daily Planet and is exploring his feelings for Lois, having put his relationship with Lana behind him. Lois's nightmare visions are getting worse, and have now invaded her waking hours. Chloe is se...

No, I've actually never seen one episode of [Smallville], including the ones that I did. I don't watch any television. I don't. And it's not by choice, it's really just, you know, for me to keep up with the schedule of the show and catch all the episodes, I just can't do it... I would have to say that my...
Smallville 9.02 - Metallo
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Wed, Oct 7
Beyond one brief scene with Lois, we didn't see much of Tess this week, as she and her new underage sidekick hunted down clues about Zod and the Kandorians. Why would they be behind the experimental procedure performed on Corben? Were they seriously contemplating replacing their own hear...
Smallville 9.01 - Savior
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Sep 28
In the early seasons of Smallville, Jonathan and Martha Kent sought to shield Clark from his biological father, and encouraged him to embrace his human side. Clark fought for years against the destiny Jor-El tried to force upon him, but last season came to realize his Kryptonian father ha...
The Vampire Diaries 1.01 - Pilot

• Mon, Sep 14
I couldn't sit down to watch The Vampire Diaries last Thursday night without Smallville on my mind. Never before had I watched a new episode of Supernatural without watching Smallville first, but now there was a new show in the 8PM slot. The two shows have nothing to do with each another, and T...

I understand there’s going to be a love triangle between Clark, Lois an the Red Blue Blur. Again, another year of torture for Clark. Will that symbol become known as the symbol of the Red Blue Blur? The ninth season premiere of Smallville airs Friday, September 25, 8/7c, on The CW.

Smallville in TV Guide

Smallville is featured in the August 24-September 6, 2009 issue of TV Guide, in the "Breaking News" section. Here is a scan of the blurb. The story has been all over the web for the past couple of days, but the print article has a bigger pic. Spoilers for S9, obviously.
Ten Reasons I Still Love SmallvilleOriginal at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Aug 17
When Smallville started, it was all about Clark and Lex, and that was amazing. No two characters on this show have ever approached the chemistry they shared, and nothing was more fascinating than watching them struggle to trust one another and fail, dancing endlessly around the truth as t...

Last week I posted a picspam of Tom Welling at Comic-Con (if you missed it, you can find it HERE), and now I'd like to share my favorite pics of the rest of the cast: Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman, and Callum Blue. And I might have slipped in a few more of Tom as well....

Smallville producers are backing down from earlier claims that the coming season would be one of the show's darkest yet. "We might've misled people a little bit with that," confesses co-showrunner Brian Peterson. "Clark starts the season in a very gloomy place, but the season itself won'...

gonturan, the video GODDESS, who was only in the room for the Supernatural panel that followed, generously taped the entire Smallville panel at Comic-Con for no other reason than because she knew it would make me happy. She is my HERO. As always, her footage is fabulous, and there are LOTS of...
Smallville: Ten times Chloe Sullivan was awesome.

9) 6.02 - Sneeze. Clark caught a cold in the Phantom Zone, and his sneezes are, well, nothing to sneeze at! But that doesn't stop him from having a little fun with Chloe, making her throw herself on top of her papers in a panic when he pretends to feel a big one coming on. Only with Chloe can Clark pla...
Smallville 8.18 - Eternal
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Thu, Apr 9
Most of this episode played out as a series of conversations between two people, bringing an intimacy to the action that infused it with emotion. We saw Davis and Chloe, Chloe and Clark, Clark and Tess, and for the first time ever, Tess and Davis. We even had a glimpse, in flashback, of Davis wi...
Smallville 8.16 - Turbulence
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Sat, Mar 21
Aaron Ashmore's performance in this episode was the best I've ever seen from him. I'm a much bigger fan of Jimmy the way he was in Identity, intrepid reporter wannabe with a side order of comic relief, but I give AA props for making desperate, confused, angry Jimmy completely believable. All...
Smallville 8.15 - Infamous
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Mar 16
I never thought it would be possible after the travesty that was the Lana arc, but Smallville is totally back on track as far as I'm concerned. Clark's my hero, Lois is back, Chloe is herself again, and I'm actually interested in what happens next with Doomsday. I don't know what's up with Oliv...
Smallville: Ten Times Clark Was Super Without Being Super At All

We all know that Clark Kent will be Superman one day, but what makes him a hero is so much more than his special abilities. It is his human qualities, of compassion, humility, virtue, and strength of character, gifts from his adoptive parents, that enable him to use his powers for the good of a...
Smallville 8.14 - Requiem

• Fri, Feb 6
And then there's Oliver. What the hell is up with him? I thought he was supposed to be one of the good guys! I've been fanwanking his questionable actions all season long, but I guess he truly is taking a darker path this time around. Doesn't this show have enough villains already? Tess, Doomsd...
Smallville 8.13 - Power

• Fri, Jan 30
Speaking of Lex, I'd like to take a moment to implore the show to please, please let him go. Michael Rosenbaum isn't coming back, and the glimpse of Fake!Lex we saw in the preview for next week made my stomach churn. Don't do this. Tess is a great villain in her own right, use her instead. Don't dish...
Opinion: Smallville 8.12 - Bulletproof
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Sat, Jan 24
Fair warning, guys: full blown rant ahead. I hate the Clana. HATE it. I loved it once, rooted for it, even swooned over it. But it's a relationship Clark should have left behind in high school, and every time it rears its ugly head, my hero makes me cringe. First of all, Clark is destined to be Superm...

Smallville 8.10 - Bride
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Sun, Nov 30
Clark made all the right moves in Bride, right up until the moment Lana walked back into his life. He refused to rush off after Lex with Oliver, knowing how important it was to Chloe to have him by her side as she walked down the aisle. Clark did help Oliver as much as he could, and tried to dissuade...
Smallville 8.09 - Abyss
Original at tariel22 (Livejournal)
• Mon, Nov 24
Jimmy always worries that Chloe hasn't gotten over Clark, and Abyss made me wonder about that, too. The show has been telling us for a long time now that Chloe has moved on, despite the occasional wistful glance in Clark's direction, and after Committed I was willing to accept that Chloe tru...

Aaron Ashmore made me like Jimmy more than ever this week. We had barely a hint of the Chimmy in Identity, but plenty of Jimmy with Clark and Lois. See how well that worked, show? More, please! Poor Jimmy, he figured out the secret of the century, and he doesn't even know it. But we did see a dawning...
Smallville 8.06 - Prey

And what about the Chimmy? I swear, I can't keep up with what I'm supposed to think about this relationship. Show, last week you tell me Chloe loves no one but Jimmy, forever, and then this week she's flirting in the morgue, and saying she feels an ease with Davis she's never felt with Jimmy? Do...

There was so much to love in this episode, and I could go on and on, but I'll just leave you with my top ten quotes and caps. Tell me your favorites in the comments! Dean: We still have to see the new Raiders movie. Sam: Saw it. Dean: Without me? Sam: You were in hell. Sam: This is stupid.
Smallville 8.05 - Committed

The episode started out focused on Chloe and Jimmy, although another couple soon became much more interesting to me. Kidnapped by a crazy jeweler, they were hooked up to a makeshift lie detector and forced to tell the truth or subject the other to a slightly less lethal version of the electr...
