CW Announces New SMALLVILLE Leaders

So I guess we can expect it to still suck. No tights, no flights, show bites.

-Peace Out

aw for fucks sake man, we should burn the offices of the cw!

Great! So much for a fresh perspective. I am an avid Smallville watcher because like most who watch it, I really want to see how it all ends up. I also like some of the characters especially Lex. Lana and Kara can both die and I`d be happy.
I hope that these guys at least try some new stuff, Like, I don`t know... having Clark freaking fly! Actually since it doesn`t look like the Superman sequel is going to have Darkseid in it, they should do something with that crazy planet of his. And where is the Martian ManHunter? He hasn`t been around for awhile.

They will have to do something different since Lex and Lana are leaving so they are forced to change it up. People will be pissed if the Lois and Clark story will be like Lana. Tell you the truth I don't see how they can hook up at this point anyway w/o seeming forced. I wish a few Lost writers would find their way to the show.

Well, I don`t think if the show was on for another 8 seasons that they would show Lois & Clark hook up. I mean granted this is way off on DC continuity, she doesn`t fall in love with the dude until after he becomes Superman and even then she falls in love with Superman not Clark. I think them bringing on Lois was a way to sort of tease the fact that they knew each other before the fact, like him and Lex.

And people wonder why the Siegels are generally in an uproar towards Warners over the handling of Superman......this is one of em. The best episode where when the late Christopher Reeve made his appearances and the show was better when John Schnieder was on but John Kent was bound to get bumped off at some point. But this show has overstayed its welcome for two years too long because of its pourous direction (don't even get me started with the out-of-desperation Superfriends arc because our viewership was tanking scenario) and people are getting fed up on when Clark will finally be Superman. I've tried to give this show a chance for years and it just gives me more and more reasons to never like it. Between this, the not-needed-right now JLA movie and constantly wanting different actors for Superman the only thing that kept its sanity is that George Newburn continued to voice Superman from Justice League to The Batman, though Kyle Maclachlan did an admirable job in New Frontier and was much more convincing than Adam Baldwin in Doomsday. Minus the comic book and Justice League, Superman is a world of mess being handled by a bunch of flea-infested, hebrew monkey disease pot smokin' rice cake shit dumpers who clearly would be better at rhino anal probing. If I wanted to see small screen mess, you should have kept Birds of Prey on the air. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT!!

I heard a rumour that tom welling is leaving the show as well and Brandon routh is replacing him as clark.......

riiiiiight.

They'll have to come up with some new ideas with only alittle Lex and Lana, but I assume the show won't change radically. Why mess with a winning formula? They just need to tie everything up by the end.
I enjoy the Bizarro world of Smallville, but more than all the other discontinuities between it and the legitimate Superman storyline, the glasses thing really puts sandpaper in my underwear. Lois and Jimmy (and everybody else ) have seen him now for years without them. Is he going to whip out a Fortress of Solitude crystal and wipe their memories of it all?

Good point monkeyfoot! Yeah, its things like these that are the reason we will never see Clark as reporter for the Daily Planet in this show. When you think about it though, do we really need to? We know what happens. We`ve had plenty of looks into Clark as a man and Superman from cartoons, to movies, to tv shows. I think Smallville will end with Clark leaving Smallville, (hopefully flying) to parts unknown, with maybe some sort of mention in the last few seconds of the episode of a flashfoward with an older glasses wearing Clark about to walk into the Daily Planet. Smallville to me is more about his journey towards Superman than him actually becoming Superman.

Ponyboy, my problem with the show is that there has been no journey. The fact is that dispite everyting he has been through, Clark is basically the same guy with the same annoying burst-in-with-accusations habits as he was in season one.

Superman may not be Mr. Public Relations. but Clark at this point should at least be showing some signs of maturity.
