Oh, you know -- they always want a younger actress on the CW. And Laura Vandervoort was mad-busy making movies.

Gonna need to make the wardrobe a little more G-rated, though. No more bare midriff.

Oh please, she's pushing 18 How many 18 year old girls haven't shown bare midriff?

I stopped watching Smallville after season 8. I still own seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, but neglected to purchase any of the others. I couldn't believe it lasted that long in the first place. They should have ended it after season 4, when it stopped being "Smallville" and became "Metropolis-lite".

Was that a Green Lantern Ring in the tease for next week?

[Nerys Myk]

Looked like Alan's ring though.

Why is Lex in a dress and what's the deal with mini-Lionel?

Two Comments:

1. Anyone else think that this thread has generated a lot more interest than the thread for The Secret Circle?

2. Nobody has posted a real episode synopsis yet. I am in each and every week for the Season Eleven thread but somebody has to post the episode synopsis. I will even start you off with the first three episode titles. According to Kryptonsite, this week's episode is "Hawk"; episode 7x02 is "Ring"; episode 3 is "Bat". I seem to recall that the episode "Fifty-Two" is scheduled for February sweeps.

Well the big announcement from comic con was that Batman would be making an appearance since the Bat-Embargo was finally lifted.

[Joe Washington]

Wow! Can't wait.

[Mike Farley]

Too bad it won't last. Episode 7 is titled "Flashpoint." Then they're rebooting back to season 1.

[Admiral_Young]

^ LOL. That's the episode Geoff Johns is writing and it guest stars Bart Allen.

Sorry, I guess I forgot the post the synopsis:

From CW.com:

"Redundant"
The CW's hit returns for its historic 11th season. As Clark moves another step closer to his destiny, a new foe awakens in Metropolis. As Clark prepares to face his ultimate challenge, help comes from a surprising source. Meanwhile, despite what they've been through together, Lois questions whether or not she can truly be with Clark, who she sees as a god.

This season's cast includes: Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Erica Durance as Lois Lane, Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen (probably), Brian J. Smith as Bibbo Bibbowski, and Chris Lowell as Rudy Jones.

Re-occuring returning cast includes Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan, Justin Hartley as Green Arrow, Callun Blue as a standby whenever they need an extra character.

New re-occuring cast includes Brandon Routh as Mon-El, Hayden Panettiere as Cat Grant (taking over from Keri Lynn Pratt), Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman (picking up her role from the aborted series) and Robert Patterson as the reincarnated Carter Hall. It is unknown how many episodes there characters will be in this season or when they will appear. It is also unknown if Michael McKean will return as Perry White. So far, nothing has been said.

The producers have promised a lot of surprises this season. Rumors, of course, include the highly anticipated return appearance by Lana. That could be interesting. Also, more Batman rumors abound. Even Christian Bale, who previously was adamant that he wouldn't do any sort of superhero crossover played coy with a big, stupid grin when asked about the rumors of him doing a cameo on Smallville, saying, "I told you I wouldn't be in any crossover film. I don't remember saying about thing about TV."

I am excited by all of this. Could be the best season yet!

For people that HATED the show and despised how it was written...You sure miss it...

I don't know what you are talking about? I loved the show. Sure it has its ups and downs, but I am always entertained by it. Season 11 is something I can dig!

Y u hatin'?

[Skywalker]

I heard that Dean Cain would be guest starring as Kal-L later on this season. Does anyone know if that's true or not?

[Admiral_Young]

He's reprising his role of Vandal Savage.

[Skywalker]

Ah! That was it. Thanks.

That's what I get for not knowing anything about Smaillville.

[Admiral_Young]

^ LOL.
