the news surrounding smallville they have cast general zod , and mason got cast for season9 there would hopefully the better villians in this season for clark to stop last year was alright but this year will be better because general zod is more powerful than doomsday and mason is more evil than tess mercer and the news about the other cast will be back and from my understanding chloe sullivan will be back for another season but i don't know about season10 . lois lane will be back this year more than 12 episode. tess mercer will be back this year also . oliver Queen will be back but this he will be drinking again. their would be no jimmy olsen and no davis bloome in season9 . because of last season finale ended. this season will bring hopefully smallville fan togther than ever . I call this season superman becoming the superhero everybody known from reading the comic books . that's it from right now I hope that this season will be a season that everybody will be cheering and jumping for joy about this that know body will forget. that's it for now.
I listened to SUPERMAN on the radio when I was a kid. Watched him in black & white when he came on TV. My dad took me to the movies to see SUPERMAN. I saw all of Chris Reeve's SUPERMAN movies. I watched all the "Lois & Clark" episodes on TV. I took my grandson to see the new Superman movie a couple years ago. (what a disappointment that was).
One night I was flipping channels and stumbled into SMALLVILLE. It was an early episode of season 1. Guess what? I did not like it. It looked like one of these new age teen movies. I forgot all about it until I stumbled into again during re-runs of season 7. I loved it. I now own all seasons from season 1 thru season 7.
I kept waiting for Clark to fly with a Superman costume on. I just know he has to do it sometime. Probably the very last episode of the last season.
Just a few weeks ago I realized Smallville is not about SUPERMAN. It's about CLARK KENT.
I wish I knew how to get in touch with the producers of the show to tell them how much an old SUPERMAN fan loves what they did with this legend.
At first I never was a fan of superman, I was more of a Batman person. till Smallville came. I started watching thru the third season and it was awesome. I later saw season 1 and 2. Now I have all the Smallville seasons. But it wouldn't be bad if they put The Dark Knight with The Man of Steel.
I'm a sad sad sad fan of this show. It seems that for the past year or so, I have always been too busy to see it on the Thursday they show it and it always makes me mad. I tried DVRing it, but for some reason my parent's DVR doesn't work (either that or my little brother has it occupied with Heroes).
Anyway, I have decided to take a vow this summer to try and at least watch whenever I can. In other words, I'll start doing what I did originally and make sure not to overlap my schedule with Smallville, lol.
If it comes on another day of the week... that would be awesome and if you happen to know what time that is and all, PLEASE tell me! I would be very greatful. :)

I am so glad to see Lana return and to discover that the writers went back to resolve the lack of closure I felt as a viewer when Lana left. I think her "video goodbye" after being rid of Brainiac did not do justice to Clark, nor did it seem like a solid choice for conflict resolution. Simply put, it was "played."
I have never been a fan of the fated Clark-Lois get together. In my personal opinion, Durance's interpretation of Lois makes her too much of an aggressive, sarcastic, semi-promiscuous woman for me to like her being paired with Clark. I like the Lois character; she's a fiesty female and I support that, but I don't want that type of woman to be Clark's woman. Sorry, but he will forever be my "sweetheart" guy, and I have always wanted a "sweetheart" girl for him.
Needless to say, I was thrilled to see Lana resurface and that in the last 2 episodes, she and Clark have been allowed to achieve the necessary closure in their relationship. I feel that their fated separation is more palatable for me since I feel that their emotions are still present, and each is sacrificing for the greater good. I didn't want them parting with hurt and loss, confusion and regret, and unanswered questions for me. Now, I feel that Clark and Lana are finally on the same page with each other. They get it. The unity they always wanted is present, and the beautiful irony of the fact that they gain unity which only results in their separation is a sign of good writing! I will be sad to see Kristin Kruek (or rather to not see her) leave the show forever. She is a good actress, a beautiful young woman, and I like what she did with Lana Lang. She made me like her.
Those are my humble opinions. Thanks for taking the time to read them! I bought the Jan-Feb magazine in BORDER'S the other day. Looking forward to reading it.

I am an avid Lois fan so naturally my preferences are all those instances where Lois is kicking butt, looking good and taking no prisoners.
Sometimes it seems as if Smallville wants to downplay the role Lois has in the Superman Mythos and substitute Lana.
I do not see this as a good thing and will be presenting a spin on smallville that has Lois as the mainstay using her brains, beauty, and martial arts skills to get her story, several men and a grammy. ( I have written a fanfic that has Lois going undercover as the lead singer of an alternative rock band named Valkyrie, their debut cd wild hunt goes to the top of the charts and she wins a grammy and a pulitzer for her undercover work investigating a series of murders of alternative bands working ren fairs)
The emphasis on Lana as the impetus for Clark becoming the boy in blue lacks a certain panache. She is whiny, ineffectual and lacks the strengths Lois demonstrates both in the comic and smallville continuums.
I propose a Lois, Lex, Clark Triangle ( my fanfic tango Loislane, has lois doing the masochistic tango with lex, and then again with Oliver and then again with clark, it seques into an entire series of , Loving Lois Lane stories, with Lex and Lois, Oliver and Lois, and Clark and Lois amongst others)
We need more Lois active and undercover, let's have her involved in stories that address the Hero in all of us ( fanfic where she rescues kids in Dafar from war camp, and breaks up a white slavery ring in Bosnia etc. ) and sings Heros ala Mariah Carey style on an outdoor stage in Metropolis to an audience of thousands, much to the chagrin and fascination of Lex Luthor.
Lois as a weapons master, swords, knives, and a crack shot, as well as a talented singer, dancer and mistress of disguise. I would love to have a scene where Lois and Tess Thai kickbox and Lois kicks Tess's butt.
Let's change Lanes and have Lois as the real reason behind the man of steel and get off this current track of Lana as the end all and be all reason for the superman saga.
I think that the production company is afraid to go all out on Lois's character, they don't want to make her too hot, too sexy, or too savvy. I say bring on the Lane, have her dating the head crime lord of the city (and his son) make her the girl all the bad boys, and not just a few of the good guys want. Let Lois be the object of Tess's angst, Lex's lust, and Oliver's fantasy (No Ollie I don't look back, or do return engagements when it comes to relationships). Let Lois embody the line from working girl " I have a brain built for business (journalism) and a body built for sex." Bring on the Lane!
