Season 10 - the final season begins tonight!
Smallville 10x01 there was a boy 2 trailer sub (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjzne5G0eo#ws)
I think we all know what we are going to be waiting for and thats the suit on Clark. Looking forward to seeing this when it airs in the UK
...The end credits had music that for a second reminded me of the Superman theme from the movie.
Lots of interesting stuff in that preview video. Looks like I've missed quite a bit!
I enjoyed the season opener. Lots of stuff going on. Cool to see the suit! Looking forward to learning more about the new bad guys too. Off to a good start for the final year.

All I can see from my phone is a preview at the moment, Ill watch it when I get home
You can't watch "Smallville" on an itty-bitty phone display anyway. Watch it in 1080p on a nice big HDTV! ;)
You've got a point there, we've got WiFi for my iPad here at work though.

Let me know if you can stream the CW on your iPad. I'm doubtful. Think it's Flash there still.
It doesnt appear that all the content has ben converted to HTML 5, but some has. All I can see on their site on my iPad are previews.
Thought this was a pretty cool piece of fan artwork.
New episode tonight!
Smallville Season 10: "Homecoming" Preview Clip [Sneak Peak] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn16ibr-b2s#ws)
Really great episode of "Smallville" last night. Sort of similar to "A Christmas Carol" in a way. Very well done with some awesome moments. The more I watch this series, the more I'd love to see Tom Welling and Erica Durance get to play Clark and Lois in the new movie. They are great together, can act and have earned it. You can vote your opinion for the next Supes at the poll below (which Tom is winning by a lot already). And here's a great pick of Lois & Clark. :superman

Smallville Season 10 - Clark Tells Lois His Secret [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BgJHsd0N4#ws)
Great scene .. I haven't watched since season 3.. really need to go back and watch the entire series.
so awesome!
Yes. Haven't seen this for ages. Rewatched season 1 a couple of years ago and am now waiting for season 2 to buber to the top if my disc queue. This is a rare show that my wife will watch with me so perhaps I need to accelerate our way through it.
Those not watching are really missing out. If you are a Clark/Supes fan this show is very well done and has a great cast.
Such a sweet scene. :love Like I haven't watched the whole show, but what I have watched was great. Got to watch more!
Oh man what a great scene. I so wish they would do the film together.
New episode tonight. Look in the preview to see who is playing Lois Lane's mom. :)
Smallville Abandoned Promo 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KTOhtt1ao0#ws)
I've been a little "meh" on the episodes I've seen so far this season. I am about two weeks behind but so far none of the episodes have really wowed me. I'm hoping it picks up a bit once the Darkseid arc starts in earnest.
Really Joby? I've thought this season has been generally very solid. The Lois & Clark stuff has been handled well - much better than the old Lana & Clark days. I guess it's been a bit more character oriented than story. I just read a review of the current season in Entertainment Weekly where they have some very positive stuff to say about this, the last season. Anyway, I'm still enjoying it a lot.
I think compared to some of the other high quality programs I've been enjoying recently (Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, Fringe) Smallville is falling a bit short in my eyes. I agree Lois > Lana, but I guess I just kind of wish we would see at least one season of Superman instead of the further adventures of the Red & Blue Blur.
You will never see "Superman" on this series until (hopefully) the last episode. It was never intended to be that. The guys that started the show had a rule - "No flights - no tights." While I'd also love to see Tom in the suit (maybe in the movie - I hope), it's just not the way "Smallville" is made.
I can dream can't I ;)
I'm sure there will be a pay off the suit at the end of the season, or at least the cape going out of the window. :D
Looks like a great episode tonight (12/3) coming on soon! Kind of like a "Mirror Universe" storyline.
Smallville Season 10 Episode 10 - Luthor Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLaoNXqXEAo#ws)

Smallville Season 10 Episode 11 Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iyKnUaij5g#ws)
Smallville is looking like it's going out on a high!
I'm going to miss this show so much. Hopefully it will lead to TV or movie spinoffs.
This is an AWESOME poster! Make sure you look closely at the reflection in the bottom. A little more info on it:
DC's The Source has posted this promo for the final season of "Smallville" which gives another hint at the coming of Superman. The 10th season continues on January 28th with episode 12, "Collateral."
Oh man that is sooooooo cool :D
How awesome would a full fledged Superman series be, with at least the major guys from this cast, after a very short hiatus when Smallville ends? It would totally revitalize the audience and probably bring in many more viewers.
Totally agree. In fact i really dont know why they dont use this cast for the film.
Series is back this coming Friday (1/28). Another cool poster below and a sneak peak at Friday's episode.

Smallville - Finale - Promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZBjzVhej_U#ws)
Wow, what a trailer, can't wait. I have really enjoyed season ten, in fact, since season eight this show has kept on improving in my opinion and the writing has matured along with the cast members. The introduction of various heroes from the DC universe has been a welcome addition and has encouraged me (someone who has not read many comic books at all) to do a little research into them which then helps to give more depth to the show as a whole.
In particular I have really enjoyed watching Oliver Queen, seeing him dressed in burlesque gear was almost a season highlight for me and I have to admit, he looked pretty hot as a girl. ;)
Seeing Lois being fully aware of who Clark really is has been quite beautiful to watch. Up until now, my knowledge of the Superman universe was always Lois not knowing, but here in Smallville we get to see their relationship become so much more than what we are used to seeing (Clark being infatuated with Lois with a hint of unrequited love). The final few episodes promise to be television that should not be missed.
Will we see Clark fly? In his suit? Possibly, but only as a parting frame or two in my opinion. Will Lois somehow 'forget' Clarks true identity? I'm not used to Lois bring 'in the know' but as I say, I'm not that knowledgeable about the DC universe.
Smallville has been a great show and I have enjoyed watching Tom Welling and Allison Mack grow up over the past ten years or so. Nothing brought that home to me more than the episode 'Homecoming' (I think), where we saw a couple of flashbacks when we saw a very young looking, much skinnier and less chisel-jawed Tom. I for one shall miss this great show which has just got better and better over the past couple of years.
Very well said Tim!
P.S. Nice to see you on the forum again too.
Here's are some picture just released of the suit..
Awesome! Very "Superman Returns" looking.

Awesome! Very "Superman Returns" looking.
I heard somewhere that it was the returns suit when it was first shown on screen back last season.
Well, the images of the times it has shown up on screen so far (in flashes, etc.) has looked that way. I still kind of don't think it's Brandon's actual suit. Maybe a copy of it.
New episode tonight with Booster Gold!

Oh not the returns suit. :( it's not a good look. Very sad feelings now.
It's okay for you to have a wrong opinion on this one. :) The suit is pretty damned good and really works as a superman suit without seeming one dimensional and cheesy.
LOL, Chris I can't stand the returns suit, the S is too small (I love the large S as in the new comics (Detective Comics 900)) and he was wearing short shorts, LOL No one not even supes shouls wear short shorts.
Don't most superman costumes have him wearing the red trunks? Also, I think the smaller S is a tribute to George Reeve's Superman and the way the cut of the cape falls on the shoulders was for Dean Kane's suit.
Wrong colour red as well, wrong colour blue, no yellow S on the cape. But hey it's just my thoughts but check out AC900 the design is awesome.
Superman/Clark has had many versions of the suit over the years in film, TV, the comics, etc. I was pretty ok with the "Returns Suit." Also, keep in mind we haven't seen the real suit on "Smallville" yet. Just little images, promo stuff, etc. It might end up looking like the Returns suit - or maybe not as much. I'm just happy that it looks like we will see Clark finally wear the outfit on the series.
Oh don't get me wrong even of it turns out to be the Returns suits (whcih i doubt, it cant be that hard to make a new version lol) i will still be bloody well excited to see it on screen in smallville.
Only two days to go now! Nice fan made trailer below:
Smallville Series Finale Teaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oFgiV0ddxk#ws)
I think it would have been nice if he had kept the colours he had been using as The Blur. Black and auburn. A nice look. It is an "alternate universe" after all.
Actually he did kind of keep the colors since he was called "the red-blue blur" for much of the time. The black thing was just for a little while. Superman (for me) needs to be in classic red and blue.
Yeah, I remember when he just used to wear the blue shirt and red jacket, just thought the current leather jacket look is nice.
Of course they were always going to go classic Superman fir the finale.
Tonight's the big one, eveyone enjoy the finale!

Smallville Series Finale Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qJzcrVEKAM#)
What an awesome final episode! That's the way to end a series. Thanks to everyone that worked on this and especially Tom Welling - one of the most fully developed Clark Kent's ever. I'll miss seeing all of you each week.
I loved the use of the movie music. :)
[spoiler]And of course, they had to have his first real save as Superman to be Airforce One like the movie.[/spoiler]
I TOTALLY loved the Smallville finale!!!!!!
Way to go! They really did a great job of tying things together, paying homage to key superman mythos while making Smallville blend into it, etc.
I just cannot tell you how many times a big smile was on my face throughout the show. And I loved the ending! Geekwood!
Smallville Podcast is live right now on UStream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/starkville-house-of-el (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/starkville-house-of-el)
Totally agree Rick. Loved every minute. Especially the ending,....
[spoiler]And I really liked how they used Chloe and her son to tie it all together, reading the "Smallville" comic book. Very sweet![/spoiler]
Watch the ending here to the episode. (But don't watch unless you want to be spoiled on it.)
SO AWESOMELY GREAT!

Awesome artwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVED The Finale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Smallville finale was amazing. 5 Stars. It wrapped everything up perfectly. Loved the Aaron Ashmore surprise. They gave fans everything. This is how a show should end. It will probably be the last time we hear the John Williams music while seeing those iconic images. The reboot will probably not use the Williams score. In some ways this is the end of the current Superman as we know him. The Richard Donner Superman era has probably closed.
Yeah, the finale was great! But, I think we will definitely get the John Williams music in the next movie.
There will be a few chords dropped in the new movie, a bit like the Trek film.
An iconic ending. Now I only have 9 seasons to catch up on and get there! (My wife likes Smallville but the effect of that is that we reraely get to watch any)
I have to catch up before the finale, got about 7 episodes in HD to watch before the big one, hogging up about 75% of my DVR. My wife told me last night it was ridiculous and I need to watch them or they're getting deleted.
It will be interesting to see how Smallville effects the Superman canon when they reboot the next movie. I know some people don't like the idea of Smallville having any effect on the canon. But I just don't see how a show can run for 10 years and have no effect. One thing that Smallville has already changed is the age of Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent. The reboot, like Smallville, will not portray them as a much older couple, they will be a bit younger. The image of a childless couple just isn't the same as it was in the 1920's.
Michael Rosenbaum has redefined Lex. Doing for Lex what Heath Ledger did for the Joker.(In my opinion.) Hopefully like Smallville we will see a much more serious Lex.
I also believe in the reboot we won't see Lois Lane blindly walking through life not knowing that Clark is Superman. I believe she will know Clarks identity much sooner. That's not to say she should meet him in Smallville like the show, because that was unique to the Smallville universe. But a lot of people just don't think Lois not knowing at all doesn't work anymore.
I also think Smallville has reminded people that behind the false image of glasses and somewhat clumsy Clark, is another Clark, the Clark Tom Welling gave us. A nice, smart, decent person, with a lot of heart.

I would be one of those people. The fact that Superman is the last son of Krypton makes no sense when Jor-El is still alive. Part of the Superman mythos is that he's the ultimate orphan adopted by Earth. Having Lois and Clark meet while he still lives in Smallville takes away the air of mystery and sexual tension in the grown-up Superman story. The fact that Clark meets up with the classic foes before he's Superman kind of messes things up.
It would have been one thing to make Smallville a separate pre-Superman story without calling Clark "Superboy". I get that. I also understand that they needed to "Buffy-tize" the series to gain a young audience. But it seems to me that a lot of what they did with the classic villains was a cop out...like they couldn't come up with their own ideas. This seems evidenced by the early "freak of the week" episodes, which clearly ran out of steam quickly.
While Smallville was interesting television at times, many of the co-opted ideas seemed premature. I would want the movie(s) to treat the villains and some of the other heroes as new.
Also, having Clark adopt a new persona so late was pretty flimsy. It's one thing to address the fact that mere glasses could fool people, but expecting us to believe that the world would forget so easily is too incredible. So much of the Superman story is the struggle between hiding his identity from Lois and and the world. Smallville takes that away from us. There's an inherent element of danger in that. If people know who Superman is, they can easily destroy him by killing the people closest to him.
So far, in my opinion, the best contemporary treatment of Superman was during the WB animated Superman/Batman Adventures. The Justice League Unlimited series also did a great job of bringing togther a world of superheroes.
I hope that the new Superman reboot takes the classic Superman story, makes it a bit more gritty and makes him more than just a super-bruiser. He comes from an advanced race of people. That genetic disposition coupled with his super powers makes him much more than a guy who can bench press more as well as run faster than anyone. Superman should be a pretty smart cookie.
I know that this makes me odd-man-out, but that's my two cents.
Actually I think we agree for the most part. As I said I DON'T think Lois - Lex - Clark meeting in Smallville works for the big screen or the bigger story.
I like the show a lot more than you did though. I think the show biggest problem was it's long run caused them to have to draw out the story too long. I think the building of the false Clark came too late. Though I still think some non Superman fans still have trouble wrapping their minds around the fact that the Clark Kent we see(glasses and all) isn't' the real Clark. I thought Tom Welling did a great job of bringing life to a character that had started to become robo-superhero. He brought heart, soul, and intelligence to the role.
I still think a few things will be taken from Smallville.
The age of his earth parents.
Lois knowing his secret sooner. I like the idea that she knows, but Clark doesn't know that she knows. That keeps the sexual tension, but keeps her IQ in tact.
A darker less goofy Lex. A character that isn't just a psycho nut just for the sake of being psycho nut, like the Joker. But a more complex villain. (Thank you Michael Rosenbaum.)
And a Clark and Superman that is more than just (hands on hips, I'll save you Lois.) Kind of robo Superman. A man who is very smart. A Clark and Superman that isn't just an ultra boy scout, but a decent person because he was raised to be.
A darker grittier story would be welcome as you said. As long as they don't turn Superman into Batman. Because as much as I love the Bat, Superman is most definitely not Batman.
The Superman/Clark character has been around for over 70 years. There have been MANY interpretations. I greatly enjoyed "Smallville" for ten seasons and it was one version. I also have enjoyed most of the films, comics, other TV shows, etc. that have been done about this character. Hopefully the next film will be enjoyable as well but there is really no reason to think they are planning on keeping anything specific from "Smallville" and carrying it over into the next film. Just keep in mind many of the things "Smallville" showed have turned up in various ways before. It was just one version of the Man of Steel as he grew up.

Actually I think we agree for the most part.
Tom Welling made a great young Clark Kent. I really enjoyed the first two seasons of the show and had great hopes for it -- like seeing Clark fly. The early tension between Clark and Lana was wonderful. Having Lex made plenty of sense as canon has him and Clark being boyhood friends.
A darker Lex in the movies will be a welcome element to movie canon. I was never really comfortable with crackpot Lex. The Lex Luthor from the Superman/Batman Adventures made plenty of sense.
Call me a traditionalist (a term I've avoided most of my life) but I'd prefer the tension of hiding from Lois while being madly in love with her. The unrequited love angle can be pretty powerful. However, the age of his Earth parents can work to show the source of Clark/Superman's values. It might be nice if Superman's relationship with his parents is something similar to Captain Kirk's relationship with Dr. McCoy. Having a confidante with whom he can express self-doubt, fear and be kept in check when he thinks too much of himself might be cool.
I definitely agree that "robo Superman" just doesn't fly (pun intended). Smallville hinted at one of the psychological issues is Superman filtering out the world around him, then prioritizing who gets helped and when. The animated series hinted at the fact that even with super foes, Superman holds back his full strength. It would be great to see Superman also deal with the loneliness of being different as well as being seen as the world's genie or super utility.
I agree that showing him as a decent human being is the right way to go. However, it would still be interesting for others (like his foes, Batman and Green Arrow) to view him as a boy scout simply because he's more optimistic than them. Superman should live in a dark world, by virtue of the fact that he's in a big city. One of his biggest challenges should be not succumbing to the darkness.
Here is my problem with the whole Last son of Krypton myth. It hasn't been around that long. It was done after Crisis when Superman was reinvented in the mid 80's. Before that time and even now, there are LOTS of Kryptonians.
When you have a space faring culture, it never made sense that everyone on your planet would come home for it to get blown up.
I also never liked the Lois and Clark triangle. It made sense in the 60's but not much after that. It's one of those hold overs where women needed men to be strong and even a woman reporter with direct contact with Clark and Sups just didn't have the brain power to figure it out. I think that has alway done a disservice to Lois as a reporter.

After 70 years, I certainly don't expect to see a milk and cookies Superman. By the same token, I don't want to see a brainless Superman either.
While I don't expect the movie to be overly-informed (if informed at all) by Smallville, there were some good elements brought out in the series. Like I said before, the notion of filtering out the noise of life is very interesting. The series used a truth of growing up, particularly teenage angst, and applied it to young Clark kent/Superman. However, I view the series as an Earth 2 or 3 Superman story.
Smallville was a great concept in that it was the first young Clark Kent story that had some quality to it. As iconic as Superman is, he deserves to be taken seriously because he somehow represents the best in us. The element of strength under control is really interesting. and has great potential. It's about time to see a set of Superman stories that hold up from beginning to middle to end.
Frank Miller's Dark Knight series of graphic novels really made the world of Batman and Superman really evocative. The story was so deep. The clash of the two titans made for exciting reading as well. That two people on pretty much the same side of the law would have conflict due to different perspectives on how it was upheld made me really believe.
I'd like to see Superman stories on the big screen with that kind of power. With Christopher Nolan as a producer of the new movie, there's hope of seeing a great Earth Prime Superman.

I get your point on the last Son of Krypton thing. Actually, I'd love to see a great Supergirl movie. I never got into the city of Kandor thing. And Lord, please, let us never see Krypto the super dog or a super horse or super monkey from Krypton. Unless I'm missing something, that leaves characters from the Phantom Zone.
The Lois Lane issue is difficult. I definitely agree that she needs to be strong and intelligent. My view of her was always strong, smart, driven and independent, which is why she's the perfect match for Superman. The Clark wearing glasses thing is difficult to work around. However, I perhaps this is a great opportunity for an actor to bring a new dimension to Clark Kent. Part of the brilliance of Superman, in my opinion, is how well Clark Kent hides the fact that he's The Man of Steel.
I don't believe that the story has to be comic book-ish in tone to keep the Clark/Superman dichotomy intact.
That said, I think I can get behind Lois knowing about Clark being Superman without his knowledge. I never saw her as a dumb or weak woman who had to be saved. She's just so driven that it makes her fearless (or wreckless, depending on your perspective).
Other than that, it would be great to see the Fourth World characters (Darkseid, Orion, etc.) done in a compelling way.
