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!
I don't know the look I was going for other than just letting it grow. I cut it back in Nov. 08, this pic was taken in Sep. 08.
Kristin and Lana fans alike, I want your opinion on Kristin's new hair do! If you don't know, our favorite Smallville girl has a new, shorter, hair style, and I want to know what you think of it. Do you like it, love it, or dislike it? Please do not be overly critical or downright nasty, afterall, it's not our hair, it's Kristin's. Also which hair style do you think Kristin looks best in?
I personally dig the new do, definitely something different! It's weird to see KK with that style because I'm so used to her old look, but with that face she could go bald-headed and still be gorgeous!
My favorite Lana-look has to be when she was playing Lana Luthor, where her hair was almost always tied up. The professional look just does it for me, and KK was working that look hard! Sexy Mama! LOL, what's the word Smallville VIPs??? Chime in...

In Love With Smallville
O ne day, I came back to the boarding school from my basketball practice. I saw my friends were watching Smallville. I asked them why do the watch it ...they said because they had nothing else to do.
So one day, I didn't have a practice. So I watched S. with them. At first it didn't look nothing special.
Just another show I thought. Next day my friend came to my room and asked me if I want to watch the show with him. So I said to myself...what the heck...if I watched yesterday, I'll watch today to.
Then the show got me addicted. Soon as I got home I downloaded all the season from internet and watched them like a lunatic. The school was over and I had all the time in the world. So I watched 8-15
episodes a day. Smallville became my life. When I was watching all those episode I felt like I live in S.
So in one week I finished season 4,5, and 7. So I had one season left.
I said to myself: »Hey, I think I'll have a break for one day«.....okay...that's cool...
Yeah right. I just couldn't wait. On some saturday I watched a few episodes and then I went to play
basketball for a few hours with my friends. And when I came home, I had a Smallville marathon.
I watched Smallville from 21.00 to 7.00. The whole night! It was the first night I didn't go to sleep.
I saw the sun go down and up. Best night of my life :D
So there it was the end. No more seasons left L ...damn I was sad.
It felt like I lost a big part of my life. A friend. A friend where I could forget all of my problems and just enjoy the »Smallville life«. So eversince I am lookingfor information, pictures and biographyes of S. cast.
Few days,weeks later I decided to watch S. from season 1 :D.
Damn, I am so lucky that I didn't discover S. during the school year bacuse I doubt I would made the class. So now I am writing this and listening to »Save me« song by Remy zero. And every single chorus I hear I thougt of Smallville. It's like a friend died to me. Sad moments but my thougts of season 8 are keeping me alive.
So that's about it. The end of my first Smallville blog. Soon I am going to write another one.
Take care Smallville fans! And remember, It's just a show.........SMALLVILLE !!!!
I have never been a fan of following shows but when I first saw smallville in the middle of season2 I was hooked. I began a huge collection including a photo of the original cast with all signatures and a certificate of authenticity. This show is inspiring and uplifting. Every week I have something to look forward to outside of work and parenting. Great show. Anyone know if there will be a season 8?
How I'd Intro this beast
[Clark, Lois, & Chloe board a plane from London (where Ollie’s League was operating) to Washington D.C at night.] Clark: [Checks his pocket & feels his octagonal disk, then nervously says] Where do we sit? Chloe: [Smiles at Clark and grabs his hand] Right here by the window between me and Lois. Clark: [Quickly sits down and buckles up] Lois: Relax Clark, we have barf bags and mints. Besides, man has been flying long before your parent’s first hot all-nighter together. Clark: [Shakes head] Thanks for the imagery Lois. As if I needed another reason to be sick. Chloe & Lois: [Laugh] [Plane takes off into the night and flies through the storm heads] Pilot: [Over intercom in a kind voice] This is the pilot, we might experience some slight turbulence. Just try to relax and we’ll get through this in no time at all. Clark: [Sneers] Right. Chloe: [Notices Clark grabbing the arm rest too tightly and so grabs his hand and smiles to try to be reassuring] We’ll be alright Clark, we’re together here. [A red flash pierces through the plane just two seats ahead of the trio. Then flames and a bang] Clark: [Sees the front section of the plane, only two seats ahead, fall away. To himself] Oh no. Trio: [Their seat belts fail as their plane section barrel rolls downward. They‘re pinned on the floor of the plane, slowly being sucked out.] Clark: [Grabs into the plane and reaches out, his hand is between Lois and Chloe. He hesitates.] Chloe: [Looks into Clarks and sees fear, looks at Lois and who looks back at Chloe. She lets go.] Lois: CHLOE! Clark: [In shock, looks at where Chloe was and then at where Lois is] LOIS! Lois, Grab my hand. Focus, Lois don’t let go. Lois: [Looks at Clark and grabs his hand] Clark: [Pulls Lois towards himself and holds her in his arm. Makes his way crawling to some remaining intact seats and buckles Lois in. He‘s then slammed into a window and with his forearms and legs barely stays in the plane. He sees a middle-aged woman and reaches out for her.] HANG ON! Woman: MY DAUGHTER! SAVE MY DAUGHTER! [She points above Clarks head] Clark: [Reaches for the girl, but she’s sucked out just before he grabs her hand. He tries to reach for the woman but she slips and is gone too. Gasps. To himself] No. [He looks away and sees a humanoid creature fly through the plane and then the tail section falls away. He‘s sucked out and tumbles for a little while through the air and lands on the front section of the plane and climbs inside.] [Lightning slightly illuminates the creature as it slashes at the helpless victims] Clark: [Can see its glowing red eyes, then hit’s the creature with intense heat vision.] Doomsday: [Is knocked out of the plane, flies back in, slashes Clark’s chest twice, then stomps Clark’s face through the plane.] Clark: [Falling] Oh God, help me. Jor-El: [Through the octagonal disk] Be calm my son, close your eyes and listen carefully. I am here. Clark: [Tries slowing his breathing down to relax, but can’t.] Jor-El: Relax your arms and legs, feel the air, you are safe. Now open your eyes, focus on my voice, and forget all the other noise. Find the planes most populated section. Clark: [Slight sobbing] What about Chloe and Lois? Jor-El: I know this hard, but the answer is simple: save as many as you can. Don’t focus on individuals now. What section of the plane has more people in it Kal-El? Clark: [Uses telescopic and X-ray vision] I see two sections. The tail section has three children in it… alive. The other has 10 adults alive. Jor-El: The loss of those children is sad, but those adults have a purpose too. Focus on those 10 adults Kal-El, not the plane but the people. I know you are hurting, but you must reach out to them! Clark: [Sobbing] I can’t, Pete could’ve…but I can’t. My chest hurts and I can’t feel my face. Jor-El: Don’t focus on the pain, it‘s only temporary. Don’t give up Kal-El, have faith, look beyond your pain, and focus on those people. Rescue them! I know you can do it, this is why you’re here Kal-El. Clark: [In pain, begins to fly to the mangled plane section] Jor-El: You’re almost there Kal-El. I am very proud of you my son. Clark: [Grasps the middle of the plane section and holds it above his head. It cracks down the middle, but he’s holding it together. He looks down.] [Booms!! Splashes!! Different parts of the plane pound into the Atlantic Ocean. An aircraft carrier comes and Clark lowers his plane fragment onto it slowly, then he superspeeds into the plane.] Clark: [Uses laser/heat vision to burn off exposed wiring and melt insulation over it. Then his focused freeze breath cools things down and put out some flames. He’s fast so to everyone it was instantaneous. ] Lois?! [Sees her head bleeding, X-ray vision reveals no broken bones but there is some internal bleeding.] [Medics arrive, Clark’s wounds are healing but his nose is broken. The medics fix that and carefully move Lois.] General Lane: [With binoculars looks on. He notices Lois on a stretcher and Clark beside her.] The sky is clear now open up on that [...]! Captain: It’s long gone sir. [In the next scene, General Lane and Clark talk about what happened in private. The General tries to sooth Clark and eventually says “what a flight huh son?” Clark replies, “it was my first.” Clark learns that the reason an aircraft carrier was near by was because they were patrolling the area for that beast. Three or four other planes have gone down in the area recently, military and civilian. Covered up so the military could respond to the threat without that threat knowing it. Clark is upset about them being used as bait like that, Clark then reminds the General of Chloe‘s death. The General talks about a town in England during WWII that was sacrificed to protect the fact that the Allies had broken the Nazi codes, if the town was rescued from the bombing then the Nazis would’ve known their code was compromised. General Lane reveals they now have footage of the beast and of a shadowy figure dropping the plane section they were in. The General tells Clark that he knows he saved the day, he recalls the incident between Clark and his men when Chloe was missing. “Only an extraordinary man can take on two of my people,” he says. He reassures Clark by saying, “I didn’t get this job because I dropped the names of every good guy I knew, I keep secrets on daily basis even from my daughter and I would ask that you do the same about this operation. Even from Lois. Our relationship is strained enough.” Clark agrees and says he should’ve saved more. The General tells him, “never let guilt or regret over come you, learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time. We all mess up sometimes Clark. Ah hell when I first joined I was a major screw-up, however I learned best from my mistakes. I forgot a lot of what I was taught by academy instructors, but not the lessons I learned from my own mistakes.” Clark replies, “you sound like my father.” He realizes Jor-El just dropped out at some point and looks for the disk but can’t find it. Just then a doctor brings news that Lois is awake. General Lane and Clark go see Lois and then see the footage of the attack. A clip shows the disk falling through the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.]
It's the weekend, so that means its time to think over the most recent new episode of Smallville. This most recent episode left me with kind of mixed feelings; there are a couple plots in the season (and this episode in particular) that i didn't like and others that i found to be pretty cool.
Starting with the parts I liked, it was fun to see Jimmy figuring out the cave paintings about the legend of Clark's destiny. I just thought this was kinda cool because I'm watching seasons 2 and 3 on dvd for the first time, and since Jimmy Olsen is new to the show and since I am kind of a new regular viewer to the show, I thought that was cool. Plus, Chloe was able to save Clark thanks to the cave paintings and I like how Chloe is becoming a part-time super-hero with Oliver (she is like a new take on the Barbara Gordon "Oracle" character in the comics).
I also liked Chloe saving Clark with the use of a jet, but thats because it would be rad if they ended up together in the end.
The idea of Lex having the potential to control Clark I don’t like; this is a weird plot device. Instead Veritas/Jor-El could have just hidden clues to the whereabouts of the fortress and i think the story would have been just as exciting (but without making Clark seem like a Kryptonian cyborg (although that would be crazy!! haha)). I also don't like the idea that Clark needs to kill Lex; I would imagine that they could continue to be rivals throughout the future. Plus, continuity in the show seems to be an issue (in watching seasons 3 and 4, it looks like the Luthors don't really know the Swans or the Teagues) and I wish the show would find a way to reconcile this, but when a show goes on for 100+ episodes, I see how this could happen.
Oh, and what happened to Kara?? Hopefully we will find out in the finale!
In looking forward to next week, the scenes with Lex in the fortress next week look pretty intense, and it reminds me of similar scenes in the movies.
Thats all for now, I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
