There goes my theory that they were going to kill her off...unless she comes back as a ghost or a memory.

I'd just like an ending that feels like it at least marginally ties into the premiere. If they can have Clark, Lex, Lana, and Chloe, I'm fine with it and not really too concerned with who does what or heads where. The show has been an utter failure for the last few seasons and so tying it all up nicely now just seems completely unrealistic. I'd at least like to see the core four around Smallville, maybe the Talon gets sold and torn down or something (or burns downs, with Nois inside) and there's a little bit of a throwback to younger days when Chlarkana reuinite at the site. Something like that. Would be pleased to see Martha as well, and perhaps some sort of flashback featuring Bo.

Hee! I'm going to fanwank that Clark is too upset over Chloe's potential demise to keep focus. :-D He does have a tendency to lose perspective when he's upset. (My Chlark bubble is THICK.) I will be pleased if Lana is the one getting shit done instead of sitting around talking about herself. She owes Chloe a life save or two at least.



Unless it's a LuthorCorp vs Queen Industries business connection/rivalry, DO NOT WANT. Tess+ Ollie= fail.

Yet another SW interview (video) on the CW Source.

Ugh, Lana for the finale but at least we know she didn't die and at least we could have core four. That's what matters, not everyone else.

I love Sam Witwer. We have the exact same persepective on a Chloe and Davis pairing.

It needs to happen ASAP. Also, Doomsday should stab Jimmy some more. Also, taking a few swings at Lois wouldn't hurt. I haven't been this much on a villains side since that mugger punched Jimmy and pulled a gun on Lois at the start of Identity.

I love the new full cast photo!

IMHO, the best things about it are:

1. The leads get to be front and centre for once;
2. When I made it my wallpaper, my desktop icons totally obscured Lois. Result!

Wow...Oliver's face doesn't look right. Did they Photoshop the left side or something? Maybe because the shadow in the original was too heavy? He looks oddly bloated.

Nois' funbags are out of fucking hand. Did she get another boob job?! Good christ. Now I know where Lex is hiding.

Oh, Allison. I adore you. No matter what happens, you will always be my Lois Lane.

I'm pretty sure her breasts were digitally enhanced in that shot (which may explain why it took so long for the photo to be released). If you look at the crappy cutout promo poster her rack is in better proportion to her body.


I posted this on my LJ several days ago but I thought I'd share it here. The secret messages hidden in the group promotional picture.

Here's the picture. See the secret message?

Not yet? I'll help.

Starting with Clark, because he’s first in the credits.
One can clearly see the letter M on him.
He gets an M because he is the Man, the Superman.

It’s impossible to miss the A on Chloe
A for Amazing and Awesome. I think we can all agree Season 8 Chloe embodies those two words.

Lois gets a C
Is there any doubt that this season Lois has turned into a Cunning Reporter?

Tess is most definitely a P
P for Tess because she is the Prime Villain.

Davis is so clearly an R
It’s interesting that although Tess is the Prime Villain, Davis is the Real Threat.

And lastly, Ollie is the letter S
Ollie gets an S because, like Clark, he is a Superhero.

Put it all together and it's as plain as day what the producers want us to get from this season.
Cunning, Real Amazing Man (is a) Prime Superhero.


(Yes, I know Jimmy’s not included, but I looked. There is no letter on him. I guess he’s not important to the show.)

I like it because Nois is so far off to the side that if you don't mind losing a bit of Jimmy's legs and Davis's arm you can cut her out of the picture and it looks better. I don't understand why they didn't have her move closer. Just a little bit and she would have looked like she belonged in the picture. Maybe they couldn't afford a better photographer?

LMAO, Firebunny, that is an awesome rundown of the super sekrit messages in the picture!! We need to have a thread about that - the super sekrit messages missed through the years in all the cast photos.



I hope because they don't have the money for a new cast pic in season 9 so when she dies, they can just cut her out.

That isn't what I got from the promo shot. I got the fun of printing it off, spitting on it, writing insults on it, stomping on it and throwing it in the garbage. And that was fun, believe me. Can't wait for the next promo shot to come out.



Oh, puke.

As per tvguide.com, Zatanna has been cast.

Girl needs to eat something. Hot though.

She looks the part, but what's up with the name: Serinda Swan? Really?

Something tells me that's not the name she was born with! And yes, she does have the look for the part; that was my first thought as well.

If she wears the costume, it's going to be hard to focus on the stunningly bad dialog and plot holes.

Maybe that was the plan.

KK on TVGuide.com, posted to KSite by Jamhexxx, who referred to it as "more Lana crap." Hee. Lana's leavetaking is supposed to be both tear-filled (I won't cry, personally) and shocking. Also, I'll admit to being surprised that Lana apparently does no pimping of Cnois. Apparently the producers don't think about mentioning EDLo when she's offscreen.

Even PS3 can get it right once in a while.



I just bet they'll find a way to make it sluttier, like when Maxima showed up in electrical tape.

Ha. I still loved their take on Maxima.

How can you fuck Zatanna up? The casting is good. And that's the one thing this show gets right.

So in that TV Guide interview who is the 'one person' who has control over everything that didn't like Kreuk's short hair? Ostroff?

Here's what we've got on Power (I think this all goes here):

Clip on YouTube

Short trailer

Wow. The cheese it pretty ripe this week.

I'm amazed PS3 saved money by reusing Chun-Li clips. That was pretty smart of them.

Look at the bright side. Only two more Lana episodes left. The only question is can one survive the greatness that is Lana?

I can knowing she's soon gone and we're gonna get a nifty training montage!

Requiem Trailer

Good Lord, Clana sex. Why PS3? Why?!

I am amazed that they went there. I truly am. Sometimes I think PS3 just enjoys ticking off the various portions of the fanbase one by one. It's like they want bad ratings.

I'm very disappointed in Clark. He's not thinking with his brain. He's so weak.

Lois who? At least Chlark have 8 years of going to the ends of the earth to save on another. Clois doesn't even have that.

Oh but he is. Just the one between his legs.

"All I've ever wanted was someone to share my life with, to work with side by side."

I know that he is saying it to Lana, but all I could think of is Chlark.

On a far less happy note, I'm feeling about 90% positive that next week Lana is going to end up absorbing a bunch of Kryptonite into her skin permanently (as a result of stopping the Kryptobomb they can't find even though it takes up the whole roof) which tragically forces Clana never to be together again...full circle right back to the days when she would wear her necklace.

Thus Clark (and Lana) sacrifices their epic love for the good of the world. I will weep for what Smallville has done to the Superman legend if that happens. Right now, I really think that is the tearful ending KK talked about.

Am I stupid or just in denial- is the guy with the tubes and face mask Lex? Meaning, did they recast Lex?

PS3 will succeed in AlMiles vision that Clark and Lana would have a tragic ending. Fuck them and the ghost of AlMiles.



No I too believe they did recast Lex. The whole trailer is centered about Lex which is another bullshit of the highest order. I'm not even a Lex fan and I'm offended by this choice of action.

ARGH THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LEX?!?! I didn't even think about that when I first saw the promo, but -- of course. That makes sense. They would do that. Now MR can just point to the half-burned voice-distorted body double if they ever try to get him back. Bah.

Because of the episode title, the "Related Videos" to the right on the YouTube page had a clip of the S3 season finale, which was set to Mozart's Requiem. I clicked it to cleanse my palate and am now sad over how awesome the show used to be capable of being.

It's frustrating. After 7 years I know how Lex looks, the length of his neck, the wideness of his shoulders, the narrowness of his hips and that dude is so not Lex. Bald, yes, Lex, no and the mask can't change the subtle wrongness about the actor's posture or the space between his brows. That's not Lex and I never even thought I paid much attention to him. I can't imagine how annoyed his true fans must be.

I'm still in denial. I keep thinking "maybe that voice isn't Lex's therefore maybe that body isn't his either."

Oh, I wouldn't say I'm annoyed, exactly. Repulsed? Enraged? Sickened? Those terms come close.

It's late, but I'll consult my thesaurus in the morning, and come up with more terms to describe my feelings on the matter.

That sounds rather apt to me. Forget about what it says about any woman that comes after her, but it reduces Clark to being a nutless wonder who can't see how awful this relationship is for him (which if they Cnois, then it makes sense he's really that much of a BDA to not see how bad a relationship is for him). He'll probably spend a few episodes feeling guilty and trying to find a way to get intoa suit that will keep him immune to her. His and Hers Power Suits. They're the ultimate power couple, I guess.

Someone on KSite pointed out that the scene where they're clearly in bed together is in black and white. Is it a dream sequence? The scene where he's sitting up in bed is in color, but she's fully clothed, and might have just walked into the room. The more I look at it, the more I wonder if it's a big fakeout, and if maybe Clana don't actually sleep together at all.

A friend of mine has actually finally given up on the show based on the fact that they have another man saying Lex's lines as if he is Lex. She is a huge Lex fan and that was the last straw for her.

And, this is the friend who got me into Smallville.

It's a very, very sad day.

I'm guessing that's MR's stunt double that they've been using this season and they think if they alter his voice they can get by with having Lex talk and people not be pissed that it's not MR. Thing is? That's not gonna work, folks.



I'm just going ahead and preparing for the sexquakes because Clana + Powers = Can't Help It.



I'm guessing so, too. It also explains KK's talk about Lana going out as a heroine.

My big problem is that I fear that they are taking the opportunity for Clark to be the one to call it off with Lana away from him. He isn't going to be the one to learn from mistakes. He's not going to grow. He's not going to realize things. It's going to be some contrived crap that FORCES Clana to be apart, instead of Clark owning up to the fact that they shouldn't be together because they're bad for each other or because she's a bad egg.

I really, really wish this show would let Clark grow up. I really thought they would have by Season Eight.

You're right. Most Lex fans are huge MR fans. That's just gonna tick them off bigtime.



Probably. Clark usually sleeps with a t-shirt on anyway, so... well, it was a thought, but we're probably going to be subjected to the sexquakes *makes face of revulsion*.

On any other TV show, the sexquakes that will probably happen at the beginning of "Requiem" would spell disaster for Clana by the end of it. If people start off really happy at the start of the story, then it usually means trouble is coming.

With Smallville? I can't entirely count on that. They almost went there in "Wrath", but by the end of the episode, Clark forgave her and all was happy in Clana land again. Lana didn't pay for almost electrocuting a man and berating Clark for not killing Lex. It was all wiped clean like it never happened.

I almost expect that to happen again.

No it's not a dream sequence, it's just that Lana gets up and gets dressed sooner then Clark does.

Alright, so they have sex, and we are still supposed to think he has fallen in love with Lois?

I don't understand. How does that account for the first part being in black and white?



I'd love for her to be exposed as the power-hungry bitch that she is. Unfortunately, I don't get the feeling they're going there. We'll have to see, of course, but right now it all looks... ominous.

EllyF, that could have just been an editing choice for the promo. It being black and white in the trailer doesn't necessarily mean it will be black and white in the episode. You can change color video to black and white, using a video effect in editing programs. It could have just been done for dramatic effect.

Black and White, is when they are in their utopia, the rest is when things get serious.

Look at her Hair, it's the new hairdo. Also when it goes back in color he's still shirtless in Bed and she's adjusting her clothes telling him she wants to go to Metropolis with him.

These episodes seem to have been written as if there was an inside "nod" to S9 that we aren't aware of. Because at this point, if Clark is still sleeping with Lana, how the fuck are we supposed to buy that when Nois comes back, they fall in love and have some epic romance with like 7 episodes left in the series to convince that Clark'll ever be capable of loving anyone else? This shit is unbelievable. They spend the first half of the season killing Chlark and pimping Clois with impassioned abandon, yet once Lana returns, it's all for naught?

I almost don't even want to see Chlark or Chlois anymore. Because whomever Clark ends up with, she'll ALWAYS be second to Lana unless he makes the choice to break it off with her--and judging by next week's trailer, that's clearly not going to happen.

Also? A hearty FUCK YOU to Clark in advance, because we all know that when Nois and her plastic funbags resurface, he'll start right on in with the angsty stares and googly eyes. And probably whine to Chloe about it. I really, REALLY hate Clark. He sucks so much ass, guys.

He really does. And I love TW so much. I think he does such a good job with the horrible material they give him, but no one could save this crap. I can't believe TW is seriously considering signing for another season. This is career-killing stuff. It makes him look bad just to be associated with it. I don't care what they're offering him... it is not worth it.

By the way Oliver, Lex might have tried to kill you but you tried to kill him first. Remember the arrow through the back of the head in Bride?

They may as well have Lana be the superhero on this show. I mean, Clark has always wanted a normal life, right? Lana can go out and save the day whilst Clark stays at home.

Of course Lana will go out in a blaze of glory, have a tearful goodbye with Clark, whether she dies or heads off to Offscreensville, and Clark will pine for her. Then, inexplicably, start with the angst and pining for EDLois. Because it's iconic! The whiplash is ridiculous and only serves to make Clark look like a kid that doesn't know what he wants, particularly if this is the last season (crosses fingers). Superman? Still a dick.
