Bosco685 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 By the way, Season Nine seems to get better. Though Clark saving a certain villain's life seems to be a BIG mistake. Especially what this person is known for. I just see more tears coming his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdudebooks Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Season Nine is quite the wild ride. Although it can be confusing at times if you don't stay on top of each detail shown. High points: - JSA (Season Nine: Absolute Justice, Part 1, Absolute Justice, Part 2, Salvation): This episode was fantastic. Especially the actors playing Hawkman and Doctor Fate. - Zatanna (Season Nine: Warrior): This was a great appearance, and a cool episode where a kid steals a rare comic that was cursed which makes him his dream superhero. Low to medium points: - Jor-El appearance (Season Nine: Kandor): Played by Julian Sands. We find out Jor-El had lived on Earth at one point in his life ( ), and this is now his clone showing up with a confusing story about a science experiment leading to the creation of... - Zod and the Kandorian Army: Created originally to be clones to maintain the life of Kandor heroes, they now turn out to be a large group with no super powers wishing to conquer Earth. This is where the season gets confusing. - Tess Mercer: Throughout the season she goes back and forth with her loyalties to Lex, Zod, Clark, herself, humanity - very confusing character. I'm far from finished with the season. But these items stood out so far. Completely agree across the board but you also left out the fact that the actress is absolutely gorgeous! I had a mega crush on her and Allison Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Completely agree across the board but you also left out the fact that the actress is absolutely gorgeous! I had a mega crush on her and Allison Mack. There are many gorgeous ladies in this series. The CW sure knew how to keep that going. Season Nine wrap-up: - It does end quite strong, with one heck of a cliffhanger. - Zod is quite the nasty piece of work to everyone. Not just humans and Clark Kent. Nobody is above being sacrificed for the Zod greater good. - Chloe becomes even more key to the overall team. Though even by Season Seven she became a central character worth watching. - Tess Mercer's plans seem to bring a fitting end. Though she turns out to not be so evil. - Ma Kent: WOW! Don't mess with Mamma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Season Ten, which was the final for this show, is interesting. There are times I want to like it, and then then are times where it is clear the episode was just filler. There is one episode I was surprised how it turned out where Clark and Oliver go into the Phantom Zone. It felt like parts of the story from Warworld where Clark had to fight Mongul's warriors. The threat of Darkseid throughout is so drawn out, at times it can feel like too much of a tease. I'll have to see how it all comes together. Worth a watch. But I like Seasons Six through Nine much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 That's what I had said when the reboot came out a few years back. That DC should've made the movie as an extension of Smallville, with Clark becoming Superman. Use the Smallville cast and everything. And, I'm talking about the crappy Kevin Spacey reboot. Just got done with the finale. You were not kidding about a HUGE missed opportunity. Even the way they closed out the entire run with the Superman movie theme from John Williams. It was so perfectly setup for a follow-up film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 ...I would imagine by that point most of them were thoroughly burnt out on the whole affair. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I thought the same thing after ten seasons. But the main character actor (Tom Welling) was very much open to doing a Smallville movie right after the finale. Tom Welling Talks 'Smallville' Movie The series finale of Smallville, which told the story of Superman before he became Superman, aired about a month ago. Welling said that if he were offered the opportunity to play Clark Kent in a Smallville movie, he wouldn’t turn down the gig. Earlier this year, co-star Erica Durance had said that she was open to playing Lois Lane again, but it would have to be with her Smallville family. “I would be open to all sorts of discussions about opportunities to revisit her, but to me, where my mind is right now, it would have to be with Tom Welling. It would have to be with Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor). It would have to be this Lois, that I know,” Durance said. What is interesting is the cast was so loyal to the main show, even when there was talk of spin-offs they turned them down until this had run its full course. During the sixth season there was talk of spinning off the Green Arrow into his own series, but Hartley refused to talk about the possibility of a spin-off because of his role on Smallville. The actor felt it his duty to respect what the show had accomplished in five seasons, and not "steal the spotlight" because there was "talk" of a spin-off after his two appearances. According to Hartley, "talking" was as far as the spin-off idea ever got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Maybe. But a nice payday with some box office performance bonuses would've rekindled the fire pretty quickly, I think.

eewwnuk Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I thoroughly loved seasons 1 to 6. got distracted by dexter but should get back to season 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I thoroughly loved seasons 1 to 6. got distracted by dexter but should get back to season 7. Seven through Nine was really good. And wait until you get to Season Nine - Absolute Justice. Doctor Fate and Hawkman were really good. But also all the heroes being hunted down by a super-villain had a feeling of Watchmen, which was a great twist on older characters. I enjoyed it. And on IMDb, that episode alone received a 9.1 and ranks high overall for Smallville across all seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulkfan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I absolutely enjoyed Smallville from its inception, until the final episode of season 10, and own all 10 seasons on DVD. I also continued to read the collected Smallville season 11 comic, which while a very enjoyable read, the artwork sometimes disappoints. The meeting of Clark and Bruce Wayne was particularly well done. I, like many here, was surprised that Warner did not translate Smallville directly to film, and instead chose to reboot the Superman movie mythos with Superman Returns. IMO, Michael Rosenbaum is the quintessential Alexander Luthor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulkfan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 John Glover as Lionel Luthor was yet another outstanding character in the cast. Lois (Erica Durance) had to grow on me. I always felt that Clark and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) made for the better match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
