Official Smallville Season Eight Spoiler Thread

Nobody on the CW is going to make Seinfeld money. The network is broke.

Post Smallville, do we think Tom can act?

In my opinion, no. He can't hold a candle to Ackles and Padalecki (who's improved by leaps and bounds over two seasons ago). Heck, he can't even compare to Rosenbaum, Mack, or Glover. There's no incentive to improve because Clark's storylines are so stagnant.

To be fair I doubt that they'll do well once Supernatural ends either. Most actors/actresses from the CW don't do well.
 
The only ones that would be considered "hot" right now are the cast from Gossip Girls, otherwise I would attend to agree with NX. Although I agree that Jensen and Padalecki (still think of him as Rory's boyfriend in Gilmore Girls) are both better actors than Tom Welling. Michael Rossenbaum was probably the best actor on Smallville along with Annette O'Toole and Jon Schnedier
 
John was awesome on Nip Tuck as the anti Jonathan Kent porn mogul.

And Admiral, it's just Gossip Girl. No plural. The narrator, "Gossip Girl" is is an e-pseudonym used by TV's Veronica Mars: Kristen Bell, who we never see, runs an e-scandal webpage which vivisects the lives of the children in the show. Personally I think that Gossip Girl is the Blair's tubby Ukrainian Maid. The stories about the kids are drivel, but if you keep an eye on the Parents living out their inverted Romeo and Juliet secret affair beneath the kids radar, it's just hilarious.

I can't watch Supernatural. It's just too painful.

Dean was the weak link on Gilmore Girls... Jess was magnificent and Logan needed to be shot.
 
The cast of Gossip Girl will slip into oblivion as soon as it's over.

I can't watch Supernatural. It's just too painful.

You should try it again. It's gotten much better as it's gone along. Jared Padalecki is nothing like he was on Gilmore Girls. You wouldn't even recognize him. He's put on 30 pounds of muscle and taken an acting class or two since then.
 
I "acquired" all of season two when someone left a portable drive in my company for a couple days. It just brung back too many questions like I had when I tried to watch the Dukes of Hazzard again... Provincial backward hillbilles saving the world because they're too ignorant to know that they don't have a chance. I do wonder what the world would have been like if no one stopped any of boss Hoggs each more diabolical than the next master plans?

At least with the movie I could understand it. They were bootleggers. Or Uncle Jessie was, and they were delivery boys. Which explains a lot, otherwise they were the worst farmers in the world.

Which is my problem with Clark. He can turn that Farm into a billion dollar venture but he decides to slop coffee for miinimum wage. Rediculous. I had a vision...

Brainiac V: "You can fly."

Clark: "No I can't."

Brainiac V: "Yes you can."

Clark: "No I can't."

Brainiac V: "Yes you can."

Clark: "No I can't."

Brainiac V: "Yes you can."

Clark: "No I can't."

Brainiac V: "Yes you... Oh for grokks sake! Take my flight ring!"

Clark: "Your what?"

Brainiac V: "My Flight ring."

Clark: "Your flight ring?"

Brainiac V: "My flight ring."

Clark: "What does it do?"

Brainiac V: "it makes you fly."

Clark: "I can't fly."

Brainiac V: "You don't have to.The ring will fly for you."

Clark:"O."

Brainiac V: "Well?"

Clark: "Well what?"

Brainiac V: "Take it."

Clark: "I don't want it."

Brainiac V: "Why?"

Clark:"I'm afraid of heights."

Brainiac V: "BUT YOU CAN FLY!"

Clark: "No I can't."
 
^ The Legion episode or Smallville Season Eight? Legion episode still has me excited despite the dumming down aspect that could happen and is almost certain to occur while I'm still meh on Season Eight.

I had no idea that Kristen Bell was the narrator or the show had any kind of narrator since I've seen exactly two scenes (Blake Lively was in one of the them) sadly Gossip GIRL is one of those shows I have a wanning interest in seeing becuase you can't help but swallowed up by the hype and vast marketing that show has. I've managed to ingore it so far but I may have to check it out one of these days...if only for the narrator and Michelle Trachtenberg and Blake Lively.

Guy...I too can imagine that scene taking place and me falling for the hysterical annoyed expression from Brainiac 5 when Clark keeps on telling him he can't fly. Also can see Clark saying something like "You're who again? Why is it you look like Brainiac?" Then Brainy loosing patience and muttering something like "We've obviously travelled to the wrong era in Superman's history." "Who is Superman?" "Never mind."
 
Smallville is continuously underwhelming. Every time we lower our expectations they do a little bit less worse each week. But honestly the final four episodes last season were even pushing that criteria.
 
The final four were extremely disapointing especially the season finale which normally is fantastic and gives us much to speculate us for the upcoming season. The finale did indeed do that once more but in maybe for the first time a negative light.
 
Yes poor Lex was executed by shoddy Kryptonian carpentry.

Thing is.

If Clark wasn't so selfish, and had undergone his kryptonian training like Jor-El spent a year begging him so, he could probably have rebuilt his fortress, and most certainly Kara would know how to exploit the ruins till they refashioned themselves into a new fortress since she is a fully actualized kryptonian properly cognoscente with her worlds cultures and technology that it's probably no different than an earth man changing a fuse.
 
I still think that the Fortress was meant to be the Traveller. They shouldn't have come back from the hiatus in all honesty and just ended it at the break until the next season.
 
Now that's something I could get behind.

Traveler could be mean vehicle?

Superman has had enough trouble with the Eradicator and the Superman Cyborg hank Henshaw was for a while using a body constructed out of the Rocket ship which brought baby Kal El to earth.

I spent 3 days looking at Lex's study while i borrowed season one and two off a friend looking to see if the Veritas legend was stained onto the window pane behind the boy billionaires desk... I can't be sure, but it probably wasn't. A;though, you know what I am sure about? That window where Lex found the sigil to moon over was smashed into a million pieces during the twister strike at the end of season one.

Either the replacement was a perfect copy, or that's the beginning of the confidence trick to mind fuck lex into thinking that Veritas is real... It's just so much balls.

If you remember I was adamant about them not coming back from the strike after Veritas...for most of the reasons we have been discussing in this thread. The thing is the entire Veritas plot really didn't make that much sense and only created more turmoil for Clark. No wonder he's filled with such remorse and self doubt since there really isn't anything for him to be positive about. How the hell can he accept his Kryptonian heritage when almost everything he has learned about it has been negative and caused trouble for him on Earth? The comics Superman has embraced his legacy and chosen to honor his parents and his heritage while this Clark must think what the hell do I need from it when its caused me nothing but pain and misery. If this is the writers way of pushing him towards accepting his destiny...then I don't know if Clark would be able to.
 
"Where did you get that scar?"

"My dads a real bastard."

...

Clark has no destiny. There's every chance that in his future there will be no Superman, if we consider the man he is growing into because of the lessons he has endured. Smallville is a massively diverged tangent reality from what is required.
 
That's for sure...as Yoda has stated in all his wisdom, clouded the Future is. That seems to sum up Smallville's future all right.
 
Even I must admit that this upcoming season sounds like it'll be a this or that type of season. Either you love it or hate it, there's no shade of grey this time.
 
I enjoy hating it. Not as much as I enjoy hating Voyager, but the freedom to scream at the television every time some one except Chloe does something mind numbingly stupid drains me of my hate and makes the rest of my world possible.
