SMALLVILLE Winter Hiatus Thread *Spoilers!*

Nothing?

Al & Miles pitch for Smallville...

"Ok it is a superhero show about nothing!"
"Nothing?"
"Yes, NOTHING!" "Like Clark goes to school and saves a baby from a burning car...Boom! There is an ep"
"Hmm...ok lets get this bad boy on the air!"

 

Smallville is like Seinfeld except less funny.

 

Oh it's pretty funny but I don't think that is intentional.

 

^ Good point. Rao only knows how a Batman show would have turned out. I'm not even talking about the previous attempt just before it morphed into "Smallville". I'm meaning Miles and Gough's Batman show pitch which I don't think we know anything about. I think we've got some hints through Smallville's formula, and we know how Batman would have been handled through their use of Ollie Queen.

 

I really like the way The Cape has been done...not so much the rushed poor quality Pilot but the last few eps...

I kinda agree with this comment from Craig at K-Site...

In some ways pacing a show like a comic book is interesting but in this day in age networks don't give shows like this the time to grow...I kinda think Smallville would have been better with this type of set up...but it most likely would have been canceled in its 1st season.

 

I agree that Smallville would have been better with comic book like season arcs. There are themes in each season that the show runners have attempted to tackle but even that's kind of been abandoned over the last couple years. Craig is actually pretty level headed and shares most of our criticisms and concerns about the series. I've had the pleasure of chatting with him on Facebook every once in a while, and own his book

 

Smallville unfortunately is more like a soap opera...ok for teen girls, older women and the casual male viewer but it sucks for people are into comics and sci fi and fantasy shows.

 

Being on a network like CW and WB before that really hurt I think the quality of stories the show could tell because of the demographic it was targeting. If "Smallville" was on HBO or AMC it could be amazing.

 

The more I think about it...Smallville could make a great day time soap.

 

I don't know about that. I have a feeling it would have been canceled after the first or second season lol, even soaps have quality that don't match Smallville.

 

Ugh. I was reading that there are hints that the finale won't be called "Superman" or "Metropolis" I never thought the second one would work but no "Superman"? I bet they will call it "Finale" or "Smallville".

And we are only missing ep 21 & 22 titles.

 

I remember the big hub bub when the rumored season seven finale title was going to be called "Superman". It was up the longest time before it was confirmed a false title. I wouldn't be surprised if the finale was called something stupid or mundane.

 

The Final is going to be called Endgame.

 

If Smallville's finale is called "Endgame" count me out.

 

It would probably be call "Retribution" or "Redemption" or "Resurrection" but I think they've used all those.

And it wouldn't bring anything new to the table like usual

Episode 1-Tying up loose ends from the last season with everyone stuck in sticky situations from last finale.

Episode 2-Still dealing with last seasons issues but tackling something unrelated. The last five minutes of the episode brings this seasons arc

Episode 3- Leprechauns or some crap

Another "Beacon" clip.

 

Okay, maybe after Voyager it's a stretch to think that endgame is an appropriate title. Though in chess, "endgame" is final series of moves not just singularly the decapitating strike which captures the king, so really if you're calling the last episode "endgame" instead of the last ten episodes, then it really shows how pitiful the forward thinking is inside the minds behind this enterprise.

New suggestion for the final episodes name.

"Fuck you, it's been Cool Aide the whole time - HAHA! Part One."

and

"Fuck you, it's been Cool Aide the whole time - HAHA! Part Two."

OH OH!

How about...

"Finally... The Money Shot."

 

Babylon 5 also had an Episode entitled Endgame

 

May 13th is the finale

 

How about TATV?
