Smallville Summer Hiatus Thread III (Spoilers)

^


He did. Just exactly the type of thing I needed to hear right now, trying to juggle work with a number of other projects.

:techman:
 
I have no clue what "Riese" is but thought The Count might enjoy this too...

You can see a glimpse of AM in the trailer.

Blurry Jet;

'Riese' is an online 'webisode' series that supposedly has been picked up by Skiffy to air... Sometime. Ally plays a bad-ass assassin-type in this 'steampunk' type of future world.

I've only seen one clip from it... Like to see the show on TV.

Many thanks! Ally in leather... Oh, myyyyyyyy!


:drool:
 
I just realized that bio reads almost like it could be Chloe from the last two seasons! She's been dark and manipulative, wielding power over people's secrets herself since she took on the Watchtower job.
 
There is an interview Craig did with Al Gough in 2001 and when I read it back I roll my eyes alot because most of Al's reasoning is ridiculous. http://www.kryptonsite.com/

CB: What kind of villains will Clark face?

AG: They certainly won’t be larger than life villains. We want to keep the show grounded in reality. Like all rural towns, Smallville is going through change; LuthorCorp's come in, housing developments are eating up the farmland. There are people like the Kents who are trying to hold onto their traditional way of life, and then you have Lex who really sees Smallville as a new beginning and really wants to bring it into the 21st century, so you have those stories as well as the weird things that are happening.

:lol: Really?

He kept saying "We're not doing "Superboy" :rolleyes:

CB: And for the final question... Will we believe a boy can fly?

AG: <laughs> At some point, yes. But one must be careful to walk, and then leap, before they can fly.

Some point has come and gone. :sigh:

[edit]

CB: When you took on this project, were there things that you were instructed to keep away from?

AG: Not really, we got a call from Peter Roth, who is the president of Warner Bros. TV, and he said he wanted to do a show about young Clark Kent. We were intrigued, but also had reservations. We weren’t interesting in doing Superboy, we wanted to do something that was cool and character driven. Unlike, say, Batman, Superman has always been the goody two shoes of super-heroes. We wanted our Clark Kent to have angst and edge, without losing the essence of who he grows up to be. That’s why in the series Clark doesn’t wear the suit, doesn’t wear glasses and can’t fly.

Not really? Right. :rolleyes:

Clark Kent/Superman is not Bruce Wayne/Batman.

After season 4...that should have gone out the window.
 
Harvest descritption
http://www.kryptonsite.com/harvestdescription.htm

CLARK TRIES TO KEEP LOIS SAFE — Clark (Tom Welling) is concerned about Lois’ (Erica Durance) safety so he diverts her away from covering the Vigilante Registrations Act by suggesting she cover another story. After he comes clean with her, an angry Lois tells him that she can take care of herself, but when a flat tire strands their car in the middle of nowhere, their plans take a turn for the worse and Lois ends up in serious danger. Meanwhile, Tess (Cassidy Freeman) searches for a cure for Alexander (guest star Connor Stanhope), who is rapidly aging. Posted on KryptonSite. Christopher Petry directed the episode written by Al Septian & Turi Meyer

Vigilante Registrations Act? C'mon now. Is Clark going to get shot on the steps of capitol hill?
 
They keep talking about "heroes" but it's like 5 guys beating up muggers.

The people don't know who to worship and what threat is threatening them.

It's like how the CIA arn't allowed to take their medals home for black bagging terrorists in a blind alleys.

How do the people even know that "heroes" plural exist?

Green arrow and the Blur are in the paper but the rest?

What "The rest"?

Why does the institution of government need to spend millions (all those lawyers and politicians get bank) creating new law to redundantly tell people not to be dangerous criminals?

Regular law is enough to say that some guy isn't allowed to shoot arrows into citizens, even if the citizen in question are nogoodniks.

No wait.

this is supposed to happen.

Superheroes were outlawed in Legends which is the big DCU Reboot miniseries that had G Gordon Godfrey and Darkseid trying to take over, as the JLA was reforming for the modern age (1985. Sheesh. Modern my ass.).

Lets hope that they can handle this better than they did on Heroes.

Heroes sucks so hard.

Clark has been really overprotective of Lois and it's starting to get boring, as is Lois's ruse that she knows his secret. Just tell him already so he can stop being a douche..

With regards to Gough's first paragraph that Jet highlighted...I have no problem with that because that's pretty much exactly what we saw for the first couple of seasons, if not to the full extent that those comments implied. The teasing of Clark's flying and the implementation and reinforcement of "No Flights, No Tights" is well known and has become a joke now that has only proven to hurt the character in terms of his development.

Well the realistic approach which we did see scattered throughout the first few seasons was also peppered with meteor freaks of the week and even though they weren't DC type villains...they were an equivalent to having those larger than life villains in my view...why I think most of what Al was saying was BS.

"Harvest" sounds like a snoozefest...after "Supergirl" I am less excited about these eps...I hope "Homecoming" doesn't disappoint. :sigh:
 
I think the early part of the series would have been better had the meteor freaks appeared sporadically and instead focused on character development and the dynamic between the Kents and Luthor's. One of the things that bugged me early on is that Clark needed to face some kind of weird bizzare threat that really wasn't a threat. I think if they scattered the freaks over the course of the season it would have been better.
 
It's probably by this point that they are advertising themselves for their next job by proving that they can market a shitty product with complete conviction don't chuknow?

What's more important?

Good writing or marketing?

Writing a marvelous show that should have an audience or marketing a shit show that soldiers on for a decade?
 
Well written show... unfortunately that ship sailed some time in S1. :lol:

Of course the show isn't Smallville any more...it is The Adventures Of Lois Lane: I would add Superman's Girlfriend...but no Superman...maybe The Blur's Girlfriend. :sigh:
