Hot Cousin Kara Zor-El Arrives In SMALLVILLE!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
BEWARE SPOILERS!!!
The CW says:
Clark confronts Bizarro, the last wraith from the Phantom Zone, and the ensuing fight causes the dam to break and a torrent of water rushes towards the land. Lex, having just been arrested for Lana's murder, is submerged under water in a patrol car, but is saved by a mysterious young woman. Lois manages to pull Chloe to safety but her cousin is pronounced dead at the hospital. The same woman who saved Lex reappears at the Kent farm and is revealed to be Kara Kent AKA Supergirl, Clark's cousin from Krypton. Aaron Ashmore and John Glover also star.
Other things to know about “Smallville” this season:
* Chloe and Lana are both just fine.
* Annette O’Toole is no longer a regular, having moved to D.C. to join the U.S. Senate.
* Kara, who can fly as well as Bizarro, is expected to appear in roughly half the season’s episodes.
* Kara, who has been in suspended animation, is surprised to discover her cousin is not an infant.
* Jor-El will tell Clark Kara’s dangerous. (She was probably dispatched by her evil dad to strangle Clark in his crib, which is what happened in the funnybooks. That could be trickier now that he’s twice her size.)
* Lana will get hot for Clark now that she knows he’s an extraterrestial.
* Kara will get hot for Jimmy Olson. Chloe will grow jealous.
* Lois will work as a reporter beside cousin Chloe at The Daily Planet and get hot for its new editor.
* J’onn J’onzz is back this season, and he’s apparently not keen on Kara.
* After taking season six off, James Marsters is expected back as Brainiac for several episodes airing at midseason.
* Kara will work at the Talon and enter a beauty contest against some pretty kryptofreaks.
* “Lois & Clark” star Dean Cain will in 7.5 play an evil scientist who claims he can cure kryptofreaks. He may actually be the immortal Vandal Savage.
* “Supergirl” star Helen Slater turns up in 7.6. That episode is titled “Lara,” which in the comics is the name of Clark’s Kryptonian mom.
* Clark will save the life of the female lead of a comic-book movie.
* Lionel Luthor will be captured and held in a cabin.
* An accident will give Lana Kryptonian powers.
* Producers hope in introduce new members of the Justice League late in the season, and bring back some old ones.

yeah
-
to actually read the article...
-
An interesting season ahead.
-
Than watch any of this drivle!!
-
Plus the fact Tom Welling is easy on the eyes.
-
Was my favourite. It was the first time like a lot of the episodes.
-
with my tongue then watch lana/ lex interactions. someone give her a frequent customer card to the hospital.
-
But at this point, I have a feeling I'm hanging on just for Allison Mack's cleavage. It's weird to me just how many women characters we have on this show now. I think they're outnumbering the guys. Granted, that's for the sake of both the geeky male segment of the viewership that get no women, and the women who like all the soap opera-y stuff. And this new Supergirl seems to be skirting the line between hot and trampy.
-
Laura Vandervoort (?) does seem a bit too good in the dailies we have seen, but then again... We need more of Erica Durance jogging! She does fill out the sports bras nicely! And if we could cut the Lana/Lex stuff, it would be a lot better for all those concerned...
-
Since he'll look like Scott Peterson.
-
No payoff on the Lionel/Martha fling. Having to deal with more Lana bullshit. And the fact that the show will probably morph into a Supergirl series doesn't fly with me. Especially with the lame casting of Vandervoort. ugh. Thank god this is the final year. And why the hell isn't Supernatural premiering this week???
-
why do people watch this? seriously!?
-
When Smallville came out it sounded like a horrible idea, but it's not. It's awesome.
-
Seriously, she's one of the most ridiculous comic book characters invented. Between her and even more Lana, I'm not looking forward to this season.
-
This show should've been cancelled during its' first season. I'm not a big fan of long drawn out deaths in the name of ratings.
-
was a grade A shit storm...I didn't think it was possible but Kreuks wooden acting and the terrib;e dialogue she's given really sank the ship...her discovery of Clark was beyond lame...I knew it was too much to hope for when she "died".
-
...a much better choice for ZOD, imo. with the scott peterson goatee and all but hey savage is cool. and how about kristen bell showing up as the "new justice leauge member"; black canary?
-
Im still laughing my ass off!!
-
I don't usually rag on the timeliness of this site, but damn.
-
Butterfly Effect II - (yes I know it sucks, but) Erica Durance has a love scene and if you freeze frame you can see her lovely lady humps...nippples covered by black tape, but still a treat!! Viva la breasts!!! Oh...Kill Lana already...Allison Mack is hot...John Glover is under-used...Annette O'Toole-glad to see you go! - "I'm not with them Superman!"
-
I took a couple seasons off as the first few were so disappointing. Every time it would like some character growth for Clark or Lex was happening, they always hit the reset. Not to mention the reliance on Kryptonite powere villains. Most importantly Clark kept fucking over Lana. If she Knows, I may come back.
-
Yeah, I know...broken record. I need to practically watch all last season...I'm behind.
-
I assume it'll be a GL
-
Wait, I'm sorry. That writeup was a little Melrose Place-y.
-
I was trying to explain it to a friend of mine and I couldn't remember the exacts but nonetheless we thought it was stupid. So if someone could explain the whole reason why "no bruce Wayne/Batman" to me that would be awesomeand does anyone fear a young Green Latern showing up?
-
I know you didn't get this dirt all on your own, how about crediting the source websites you got this from. KryptonSite, maybe? Someone else? At least make an attempt.
-
How much longer can this show limp on?! Is it trying to wrest the title of "longest-running terrible sci-fi show" from Stargate?
-
From what I understand, when Warner's devoured DC Comics they split it up into "your side-my side" little kingdoms.They gave certain characters permission to be in certain projects and mediums. That's why the characters from "The Batman" animated series is are so screwed up. They have to make them different enough from the movie and comics version so that they don't impede on those territories or steal their thunder.
It looks to me like The Company Men at Warners's are counting on the Batman movie franchise to be their biggest money maker out of the comics characters. Maybe even more so than the comics. So they are very controlling over where he can be shown and what he will be shown as.
We would think that, since it is all DC comic characters and productions they are all one big company and can use who they want where they want. But each media outlet is it's own separate company and guards which characters they have very greedily.
-
still getting through season 6
-
...cancel this show. It has been rotten since the beginning of season 4.
-
and I'll watch and even forgive all the stupid crap they did on this show.
-
That's the best knows in the article (and Herc knows it). James Marsters back as Brainiac, baby!
-
I meant best 'news.' Ok, now to clean myself up.
-
Lana got her 'witch' powers. And it's done nothing but spiral down ever since. But hey - maybe Lana getting 'Kryptonian' powers will do the trick. And if you believe that, you will also believe that I will be getting a hummer from Hayden Panettiere tonight.
-
Awkward!
-
Thank you Dr. Boll. (I just typed that. Oh god, I keep scrubbing but the dirt won't come off!!!!)
-
I enjoy Smallville. The special effects are excellent for the budget, the acting is OK and the story has progressed. OK, so it ain't Lost or Heroes or Battlestaor but it is still decent SCI-FI.
-
Of course, I only started watching it on DVD last November, and tonight's season premiere is the first complete episode I've watched "live", so I can understand how the lack of progress on the Clark/Lana relationship could be annoying if someone's watched it over the course of six years instead of 10 months. That said, how many sci-fi/fantasy shows are still this good going into their seventh season? Granted, I'd prefer they wrap the series up this year and not pull the slow death X-Files thing, but there are FAR worse shows to complain about. Oh wait, I forgot...this is AICN, where any show is awesome until it's two seasons old, then when something new that's similar comes along, the original show gets bashed mercilessly. Will Heroes still be fresh in 2012?
-
At this rate, by the time he becomes Superman he would have fought/defeated/neutralized all of his villains already. What's left? World peace?
How is it Kara can fly and Clark can't? She's been trapped in a dam for like 16 years and Clark has been sucking up the yellow sun for 20. (I have no idea how old he is supposed to be on the show. Does he ever go back to college for journalism?) Man does this show really screw up the Superman timeline.
Oh yeah Lana, you are in China. A bright blonde wig tends to draw attention! -
Chloe said it best..."He can fly? You better get on that"....Does her saying that in the actual episode mean they're gonna get him flying this season? They have to know thats what fans want to see!!!
-
Saves the whole show. I forgive any issues I had throughout the whole series and won't complain again. That -- you got right Smallville Producers. That's enough for me tonight. ***** -- that's right. 5 stars. I can be critical next week. But this week. Perfect!!! By that line alone!!!
-
Yeah, that was stupid "disguise". Kristin Kreuk could pass for an Asian anyways, so relocating to China was a good idea to "lose" herself, but the wig totally ruins the effect.
-
Excepting his flying scene at the beginning of season four, we won't see him fly again until the last episode when he goes to work at the Daily Planet, hears someone crying for help, pulls open his shirt to reveal the big red "S" and flies off to the rescue. Cut to black. Speaking of work...WTF does Clark DO to make ends meet? Has he EVER had a job on the show other than doing chores on the farm?
-
Me Bizzaro. No is you Bizzaro. You no is speaking funny with the words scramble. Easy is it really. Smart is Me. Translation literal from Spanish to English Me thinks. Pronouns used wronly too, means Me also.
-
Is the Martian bad? Why hasn't he revealed his true form to Clark? Where are the Oreos now? He sure had plenty when he was killing Phantoms. But not when he's chatty?
-
Well, it is a cattle farm.
-
IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO PISS ALL OVER IT. MAYBE YOU COULD ACTUALLY LET WELLING EARN HIS CHOPS AND DO SOME ACTING LIKE AN INSANE IDIOT -- NOT THE SAME CHARACTER HE PLAYS WHEN UNDER THE INFLUNCE OF NO-GREEN KRYPTONITE!!!!! LETS GO AHEAD AND BRING BACK MIKAIL MXYZPTLK!!!!! WHAT OTHER ICONS HAS THIS SHOW TOTALLY SCREWED UP FOR NO DAMN GOOD REASON. DR. HAMILTON WORKED AWESOME -- MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!!
-
So he sells enough to pay the taxes?
-
I am owning Smallville's ass in this talkback RIGHT NOW!!!
-
But the show got me so interested that I started seeking out the source material. As a kid I had ONE JLU comic, one Superman, one Batman, and one WW. They were a box set. I think they may have even been cassette read along versions. But bloody hell, Smallville made me get the Supes DVDs. Then actually seek out comics. I've been through Crisises now, all the current JLU sets out, and plowed through Superman history books. And this show just wipes their asses with that material and then starts rolling the camera. Sticking with freak of the week would be better than pale imitation.
-
Fire everyone but Lionel, Lex, and J'onn...then you'd really have a show.
-
As the real Justice League.
-
Turning coal into diamonds, of course.
-
Shermdawg has jumped the Smallville ship for Supernatural - we will have a brief moment of silence, then elections.
-
Despite some cool FX moments, this was a horrific episode. I really don't know where to begin, but it made me long for Seasons 1 and 2, when this show was at its peak.
-
NOT HOT! So it's official and on the record. NOT HOT!
-
Just call this damn thing "Superman", put Modelman in some tights, and be done with it. The idea that the whole DC Universe ends up in Smallville is just stupid. At this point, the show has jumped an entire school of sharks. Yeesh.
-
The cheeese continues unabated. I laughed my ass off at the beginning when Clark evaporates the cascading super flood in a fraction of a second. Several thousand tons of water gone in an instant. That kid and everyone within a kilometer would have been boiled alive. That one instance is the crux of what's wrong with Smallville as a whole. The producers need things done in a way so everything can be more or less put back to square one at episodes end and the writing team isn't talented enough to do it in real creative ways ergo we wind up with hokey split second microwaving of large bodies of water and other silliness. The end fight could have at least given me some satisfaction on a primal level but they screwed that up by "Van Damming" it. Y'know, Van Damme gets his ass handed to him until at some point he gets his second wind and then it's a one sided ass kicking from the man. Your telling me after soaking up an entire room of kryptonite Bizarro is gonna get one punched into orbit because Clark got some rays for a couple of moments?...ugh.
-
Amazingly TERRIBLE. What the fuck was that? Who wrote that crap? It was horribly directed, horribly produced, the FX were acceptable, considering this IS Smallvie where nothing ever looks right post Season 4. But it was god-awful from the start. The scenes were badly put together. Everything clashed, including character dialogue. Felt forced. Nothing made sense nor did it feel natural. Supergirl's entrance was awkward, especially her final scene at the end. Hopefully Laura gets more comfortable on camera. She seemed a bit nervous and shaky. Lana appearing could have waited till later on in the season. Chloe's awakening should have had more depth. Damn, i coulda wrote better shit than that. It was terrible. This show needs to end ASAP or find some better show runners cause what i saw last night was not just horrible but DEPRESSING.
-
...why are the flying effects for Heroes better than Smallville? Both shows use flying sparingly for obvious reasons, but when Heroes finally gives us a taste it's done well. This is the bleeding season premiere and the flying looked Superman IVish..sheesh.
-
"Bizarro is gonna get one punched into orbit because Clark got some rays for a couple of moments?...ugh." Ask the people who "like" Singerman Peeps. THEY seem to believe 30 seconds of sun allows him to IGNORE the effects of KRYPTONITE, while lifting a mass of ass-ugly "real estate" into space. So allowing him a super-punch is not so far-fetched now, is it?
-
was awesome! Bizarro, Martian Manhunter, the way they introduced Supergirl, Lex going to jail for Lana's murder, Chloe's new power. Even the part at the end w/ Lana wearing a blonde wig in China was pretty cool. Excellent episode.
