The CW has released three more videos promoting 'Smallville' season 8, episode 11. The episode, written by comics great Geoff Johns, is called "Legion" features the Legion of Super Heroes visiting from the future! Here's the official description of the episode:
DC COMICS’ LEGION OF SUPERHEROES ARRIVE IN SMALLVILLE FROM THE FUTURE TO HELP CLARK STOP BRAINIAC AND THE PERSUADER — The aftermath of Doomsday’s (Sam Witwer) attack on Chloe (Allison Mack) and Jimmy’s (Aaron Ashmore) wedding leaves Clark (Tom Welling) in shock, but before he can search for the kidnapped Chloe, The Persuader (guest star Fraser Aithceson) appears and attacks him. Rokk (guest star Ryan Kennedy), Imra (guest star Alexz Johnson) and Garth (guest star Calum Worthy), also known as The Legion, step in from the future to help vanquish the Persuader and the group realizes Brainiac has taken over Chloe once again. Meanwhile, up at the Fortress, Chloe, as Brainiac, informs Davis he is Doomsday and was created to kill “the other Kryptonian” and destroy the world. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Geoff Johns
The "Legion" episode of 'Smallville' airs on The CW on January 15th at 8pm. Here are the videos:
Just saw this episode and it was great. Though the series is mostly plays fast and really loose with the details of the Superman mythos, the events in this one stuck pretty close to how things are in the comics. Enjoyable for the show's general audience and for comic fans who know the subject, too.
Excellent the Persuader looked awesome, the Legionairres were cool, the special effects were brlliant,aand alays cool to see Brainiac. Love those threee little dots. And Chloe was fantastic in every scene.
Spoiler warnings.
Doomsday looked awesome.
Chloe playing the big bad was brilliant.
The extraction scene was awesome.
Thank God the 86ed the Chloe doesn't remember Clark's Secret anymore. The thought of more oops Choe not knowing gets him in troubloe again scenes like on the last episode would've been agonizing.
Will they please 86 the Lana/Clark will they wont they storyline. We already know it aint gonna happen, we didn't want it to in the first place, so lets get back to some good clean sexual tension with Lois. I like her better anyway. And if they want they can keep Lana doing Isis stuff, and put the romance angle beind us.
Other than the Lana stuff, the only thing that bothered me in the episode was the fact that The Legion had no idea who Chloe is. They even went so far as to say maybe she changed her name. I can't help but think that will lead more people into thinking that at some point Lois (Erica Durance) is killed or disappears and Chloe assumes her name and becomes Lois Lane.
I hope this isn't what they do. Don't get me wrong, I like Chloe, but I really like our current version of Lois (and the actress). This would totally negate the tension in the budding romance between Clark and Lois. Plus would Jimmy really just sit by and let Clark and Chlois get together?
