Official Smallville Season Eight Spoiler Thread

^ Or, more likely, nothing happens save for a quick jam they get themselves into that'll be resolved by episode's end.

Kinda like "In this episode, Kara teaches Clark to fly!!"

and at the end, he bangs his had, and forgets


"oopsie me hurt self"
;)

and no that's not bizarro, Clark's just a retard

Yeah, but he never goes full retard. :p

Anyway, my comment was reflecting the fact that they played up the "flying" angle, and it was in the episode for all of two lines.

Kara: Clark, you need to fly."
Clark: I don't wanna.
 
As much as Luke was a whiny little bitch, at least he was whining to get off the farm and learn how to fly. Fly in service of the Emperor no less, but still fly.
 
^ Yeah what was up with that anyway. I doubt he knew where the Rebellion Flight Academy was. Did they have one?

Considering Tattooine was on the outer rim territories I guess you need ask for transport to a Republic planet then its off you go.

oh and Maxima's actress has been revealed


Canadian actress charlotte Sullivan is maxima
Here is link to her official website: http://www.charlottesullivan.net/index.html

He didn't know the Empire was evil. The people who live in the evil countries don't know they're living in evil countries signing up to military forces intent on committing evil. Forest from the trees. Owen and Beru didn't actually need him on the farm, but they knew what would happen if he went for training in the core worlds to become a TIE Fighter Pilot. He would have met his daddy.

Charlotte? Meh? Another beautiful woman. **Yawn**. I didn't recognize any of her work.
 
^ I think it unlikely that he would have run into daddy should he join the Imperial Academy. How many people in our Armed Forces have met the President or Vice President?
 
TVGuide has more about Maxima:

- Apparently the character may not be a FOTW and may be around for a while.
- She will have scenes with two of the male regulars (I'm guessing Welling and Crashdown).

I seem to remember Luke's plan was to join the academy and then jump ship to the rebellion. I don't remember if that's from the movie, deleted scenes, the novelization, or something else.
 
^ That was his line in A New Hope to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru at the dinner table, I think it was something I hope to submit my application to the Academy after the harvest season or something like that. That is what Biggs and his other friends must've done since there was no Alliance academy...

They ran into each other in that trench and what did he say? "The Force is Strong with this one." Although, he didn't seem to notice Leia much, but like baseball scouts the Emperor must have had thousands of agents looking for other Force Users for concern that the Jedi would Rerise or that Vader would take an Apprentice, and we all know he can't do that until he's cut Palpatine's throat. Besides, we didn't know back then that force users can be picked up through Blood screenings, and they most definitely would give him a medical as he joined the service... And unless Skywalker is "Smith" or "Jones"in space, Vader probably told a couple dozen kids a year that he was there father while they waited on paternity tests before teaming up to take on the Emperor.

It's like how people keep bumping into "Superboy" and calling him "The Son of Jor-El" across the board from all the many renditions of the character since the pappy was sort of infamous, and the son shall inherit his sins, but then the bad guys call Kara the daughter of Jor-El as they're super heating the Kryptonite pokers before branding her because of shite that went down 2 hundred years ago between them and Jor-El, and she's going "He's not my father, he's only my Uncle. We weren't all that close. Really." And the bad guys realizing their error reply "Fuck it, close enough."

How big was the House of El? Why do I believe that Krypton's population was miniscule and sexually unadventurous?
 
^ I don't think it's ever been specifically said how large the House of El was. I know that in the 80's-90's the Kryptonians rarely even met their spouse and had small families. I'm not sure about now.
 
With Stargate Atlantis cancelled and this article

http://www.syfyportal.com/news425316.html
From SyFy, and I've been wondering when the dollar's slide would start hitting Vancouver productions:

Mallozzi, the "Atlantis" show runner, has stated in his blog that five years may be the limit for franchise shows in the future. He cited the fact that the rising Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar is becoming an expensive way to make Vancouver-produced shows like those in the "Stargate" family.



So by the 5th week of Smallville can we expect that Smallville will be cancelled not due to ratings but due to high costs of running it?
