Smallville - 11X01 - Discussion and Review!

[Broccoli]

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!

So is this for real or what? and if it is for real when will it air?

It was on tonight. Did you miss it? It was pretty awesome.

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.

Spoiler: Season 11

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

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ LOL.

 

[Frontier]

...you people scare me sometimes.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ Why cause we're trying to have fun?

 

[P0sitr0nic]

All i gotta ask is... HOW MANY FRICKIN COLORS OF KRYPTONITE IS THIS SHOW GONNA INVENT??? I mean, My God, that trailer shot of purple K was nice and all, ran a little long, but geez, another color that will do something weird?

 

[Nerys Myk]

It turned Clark into a friendly T-Rex.

It turned Clark into a friendly T-Rex.

No, that is Prince K. Tom Welling is going to start of his singing career with Little Red Corvette.

 

[Admiral_Young]

No mention of Tess last night R.I.P...

 

[Samurai8472]

Argh! Is Clark the Green Lantern?

So he wore the suit in the season finale but because he still doubts himself the suit won't appear.

 

[Admiral_Young]

LOL.

 

[NCC1701MF]

No mention of Tess last night R.I.P...

She was on CSI NY.

 

[Mike Farley]

I can't believe they are bring in the Nuclear Man from Superman IV. Still, that gold metalic hoodie they had him in was pretty sweet and having him have Luthor's voice was a nice tip of the hat to the "classic" version.

And the guy in the black peacoat? Totally The Midnighter.

Only if he has an English butler. Speaking of which, it was nice to see Dominic Keating again.

 

[Gaith]

Gah, another no-budget monstrosity without wit, even vaguely relatable (far less coherent) characters, or any semblance of contemporary feel.

And yet, there will still be people who insist that it's better than the first three seasons "because there's more (half-assed) references to the comics, and the characters don't talk about their feelings so much."

Zombie?

 

[Silvercrest]

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

Hey, there's a way to fix the show!

 

[Guy Gardener]

Fix = castration/sterilizing..

But Smallville never had any balls.

Ergo.

You're right.

You can't fix Smallville.
