The Latest Actor To Play SMALLVILLE’s Jor-El Is …
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Julian Sands (“A Room With A View,” “24”), 51, will play the middle-aged Jor-El on “Smallville,” according to Entertainment Weekly’s Mike Ausiello .
Jor-El, father of Superman, was on “Smallville” portrayed as a younger (and very American) man by Tom Welling, who also plays Clark on the series.
Jor-El’s voice in previous seasons has been played by Terrence Stamp, who also played the villainous General Zod in the first two “Superman” features:
TV Guide says a number of DC Comics icons will appear this season, among them:
* Perry White
* Major Zod
* Toyman
* Metallo
* Roulette
* The Wonder Twins and Gleek
* Speedy (the HIV-positive Mia Dearden version of Green Arrow’s sidekick created by Kevin Smith)
* and, most intriguingly, the Justice Society of America.
Disappointingly, JSA episode writer says original Flash Jay Garrick and original Green Lantern Alan Scott won’t appear in the two-hour installment, so I’m guessing we’re not going to see middle-aged versions of Earth II Superman or Batman either. Which strikes me as a misery of a missed opportunity. Note to new DC overlord Diane Nelson: Holding back DC characters from Time Warner-owned franchises is idiocy.
The new season of “Smallville” launches Sept. 25.

I like Sands. I always thought it was weird hearing Zod's voice as Jor El anyway.
-
Please say that is a joke about Wonder Twins and Gleek?
-
I wish the Wonder Twins was a joke, but it's true.
-
This series. Die.
-
HELEEEEEEEYYYYNNAAAAAAAAAA!!!
*WHINGE, WHINGE, WHINGE* -
I seem to remember enjoying McKean's initial turn as Perry. Although, I haven't seen the last 2 seasons of the show.
-
I do
-
Without Jay and Alan is retarded. They put in 3 of the most popular legionnaires so why not? It's not as if JSA flash and GL will have any bearing on the motion picture versions, they are different people. I like Julian Sands, he will rock. But the JSA concept is half-assed.
-
It's not jut one hand he'll tie behind Superman's back...
-
Nice
-
Smallville The finales suck Clark is the most Brainless,Emo punk in the world. I just want to scream MANUP YOU WHINY BITCH!
-
I am looking forward to this season of Smallvile but must say the season opening of Supernatural was great.
-
But it is pretty darn good. Is there an endgame for Supernatural? (You know, like Lost will end this coming season.) Because Supernatural looks like it is going to after burners and I wonder how long the writers can sustain the current direction of the show.
-
He could be a good Jor-El. I hope he is allowed to do something with the role. Although some great actors have played Jor-El, no one has ever delivered a definitive or amazing performance. It is saying something that Robert Rockwell was as memorable a Jor-El as Marlon Brando.
-
i knew that guy looked familiar. too bad i stopped watching smallville after season 5, this is a good casting choice though (i think).
-
from a poorly done show is smart.
-
great season opener
-
They'll just be making return trips.
-
That's kind of hard to believe. They'll probably just cast some random guy. They always said they'd use Terrence Stamp to physically play Jor-El, as he's the actor voicing him, but presumably they can't afford him.
Wonder Twins is no joke. I completely understand why DC won't allow SV to have Batman or Wonder Woman. Hell, looking at their use of Green Arrow and Clark's attempts at being a "dark" hero this season, they're bringing on Batman anyway. *shrugs* -
Hey WB, or CW, or whatever the fuck you are this week
Send Herc a Supernatural t-shirt already -
Love the show so much, hope this doesn't mean Terrance Stamp is going to stop doing the voice of Jor El????
And Perry White to return? His was one of the classic episodes. How cool is Clarks Superman outfit? -
enough with the head in the sand stay the course cuz we said it obstinacy
-
the sequel sucked tons of dick though. And as far as Supernatural goes, well if you start something out with a kickass AC/DC song, it has to be great. I think that's one of the rules.
-
Really? If so, that's just daft. I don't like it when actors also play the parent of their own character. It's lazy casting and no-one looks *that* much like their parents, so it just becomes distracting. But at least they didn't put him in old-man make-up to play the middle-aged version.

Smallville I love but, Supernatural has been better for years.
by drsambeckett1984
Smallville has always been one of my favourite shows, but the last few seasons have not been the best. Poor storylines have really let down the show, I am happy with Lex being gone though as that whole relationship was getting tedious.
However Supernatural goes from strength to strength with each season, it always makes me chuckle, and can be downright scary at times. Reminds me of watching The X Files as a kid.
Both shows are great, yet niether seems to get the recognition they deserve, wheras over indulgent crap like Lost and Heroes grab the headlines.
Supernatural does deserve it's own talkback. -
Never got the recognition it deserved? It was on the cover of every magazine out there. It got solid ratings and was nominated, and won, almost every major TV award out there. Almost all sci-fi shows that come out are compared to the x-files.
-
And i think you were talking about Supernatural and Smallville and not Supernatural and X-Files in the "Both shows are great line. If so, just ignore me. :/
-
But yeah I meant Smallville and Supernatural.
I miss the X Files. Sad -
and plenty more besides, Herc doesn't do Supernatural TB's so roll on over to the Zone.
http://tinyurl.com/c5suaw -
Lead slug in the back of the head. It's the humane thing to do.
-
Herc, if you hate Supernatural just come out and say so and we'll stop our bitching. Until then, we are going to inundate every post you make. We want our TB.
-
The reason Herc ignores it is that Supernatural isn't a reality show. Herc likes reality shows, not shows intended for intelligent people.
-
Isn't he like forty five by now?
-
just go crazy with the villians. Have one any episode. Get all the superheroes available and just get crazy.
-
Sure LOST may end. But after s1 they just threw shit out to see what stuck. No real plan or direction. Last season was a cover your ass make up plot patches one.
Supernatural at least suggested that the Winchester brothers adventures would be chronicled for quite a while. Wasn't the point of " I am the prophet Chuck"?
And there is a whole world of gods/goddesses/demons/haints and what not never or barely addressed.
Remember the story is all about the brothers evolution and relationship, the background is weekly actions.
Plus Ben Englund is better that Whedon. -
Either way Im sure it'll be pretty good. Smallville has done a good job casting. You figure with it maybe being their last season and whatnot they could find a way to get Gene Hackman on for an episode. Even better get Hackman to portray an old Lex Luthor from the future. They could do it in a way similar how they brought the Legion from the future.
-
and he's right.
-
Tom Welling has referred to Clark/Kal-El as "big dumb alien'. He is offered pussy every other show. He could have more ass than a mule farmer. But unless it happens to be Lana, then there is some bizarre circumstance like she spiked his gatoraid with red kryptonite and that's like viagra to Clark. I like Smallville, but every season so far there are a few shows that make me ask myself "Were the writers on strike, or just on crack?" Sv needs to quit fucking around. Clark needs to fly this year and tie up the series. No more foreplay. And oh yeah: I'm just soo thrilled that "dr midnight" or "wildcat" will show up. Joy.
-
I think you mean Ben Edlund, not England :) He also wrote some great episodes of Buffy and created the Tick (the original comic and character). He is a genius. :)
-
I meant Ben Edlund wrote some great episodes of Angel, not Buffy...
-
...I think Jensen Ackles would make a great Bruce Wayne/Batman.
-
There are a few things that just fucking need to happen this season...1) flight; 2) costume; 3) glasses; 4) REAL demonstrations of his power; 5) a wrap up at the season finale to become the SERIES finale.
-
Somehow or another, Lois needs to forget what Clark Kent ever looked like without glasses. How they're going to pull that one off short of the "Lois has massive amnesia!" lightswitch, I have no clue...
-
I like Julian Sands. ;)
-
What a tremendously underwhelming venture this ended up being.
-
Then why the fuck do you watch it? Does someone have a gun to your head? There are 168 hours of programming in a week and you worry what happens for ONE specific hour? Turn the fucking channel, watch something you like. But for fucks sake, why bitch about something totally within your scope of control? No one forces you to watch. And there are far, far worse things on tv that I manage to skillfully avoid by using the arrows on my remote control.

Has a great Jeremy Irons vibe to him.

Holy Crap they are seriously bringing on The Wonder Twins?
by beefywhore
Well I'm out guys..if this is what's cool now I think I'm done. I no longer have any connection to this world..I'm gonna go home and kill myself. Good-bye Friends.
-
FART SOUND
-
I do control my remote, I haven't sat through more than one hour of SMALLVILLE for years. Once in a while I'll catch a few minutes and then realize the show lost its luster long ago. I am part of the millions of viewers that have moved on. All I was doing here was commenting on its sorry state.
And no one forces you to respond to my comment, so why bitch about me having my say? -
Thanks a bunch, Jar Jar Abrams.
-
Memory, spelling, eyesight, hearing all shot in my old age.
-
pay him to actually appear?
-
Because you are extremely annoying and created a catalog of pedantic remarks. SV is a very good show when it wants to be. Every season has had excellent and piss poor episodes. No one forces you to be here so why not just go away for good?
-

Aren't people tired of Supernatural thread highjackers?
by lockesbrokenleg
What can you talk about with that show? How cute Jared is?
-
No, our main topic nowadays is the two brothers secretly fucking each other. It even came up in he last episode.
-
So it can be done ...
-
Satan is the good guy now.
-
Okay, set aside Lost, and consider what the fangirl said: "Nice change up from the demon to the angel mythos." That was so self-conscious on the part of writers and so correct. But once you bring God into the equation, where do you go from there?
Another thing is how much longer until player contracts have to be renegotiated? At some points network economics will trump art.
I like Supernatural. It is a nice blend of episodic adventures guided by a story arc. Arcs have a beginning and end. I would like to see a memorable end. -
so they can masturbate on the sensitive guy of the two leads. How any guy who is not gay would like that show is beyond me.
-
for the superman guy. Fuck's sake, that show should had been called Lex Luther and get rid of the superman lame ass guy since the pilot episode. The girls should say, obviously.
-
As soon as I saw the Trekwars DVD ad I knew you would be here fighting the good fight!
-
Went waaaaaaay downhill after Season Four. Let this shit die already!
-
Come on, Herc. Do your duty. SUPERNATURAL is well within this site's remit - we demand a TB!
Man up, you whiny bitch - where's our SUPERNATURAL TB?? -
MAN UP YOU WHINY BITCH is this year's SEXIEST TOMBOY BEANPOLE.
Where's our SUPERNATURAL TB?? -
Both are absolutely perfect for their respective roles. Both are being buttfucked on a regular basis by their uncaring, downright fucking stupid respective network. Both deserve much, much better endings to their characters' arcs than what they will get.
Respect the Welling. Respect the Tennant. FUCK THE SUITS!! -
If you EVER refer to SUPERNATURAL again in those terms, I will have to re-enact in this TB the same assripping handed to you by Jarv in the Holy Outlander TB. Do not test me!!
Only for teenage girls. How you haven't managed to disappear up your own ass with this navel-gazing snobbery is beyond me. SUPERNATURAL is the only natural successor to THE X-FILES on TV these days - Period.
A pencil jihad on you, non-believer!! -
Damn your eyes, you fucking peasant! Obviously you don't watch the show - the mythology arc over the last five seasons covers a LOT more than just which brother is cutest (Dean, obviously). The angel/demon thing makes everything more interesting than its "monster of the week" run, and even the Christian theological overtones is currently still making sense. SUPERNATURAL is NOT just eye candy.
Besides, for we straight guys, there's a glut of sexy up-and-coming actresses playing demons such as Ruby - and Katie Cassidy is EXTREMELY fuckable... -
MAN UP, YOU WHINY FUCKING BITCHES!!!
-
Smallville in my opinion is a teenage-girls-and-boys-masturbation-galore. Why ? Because everybody on this show looks like oversised versions of Ken and Barbie. Sure Rosenbaum could act, but he is gone, so is John Glover.
And let's face it this show is more like a soap opera, than good sci-fi, fatasy, or superhero show.
-
Eats lions and pisses napalm. Manly.
-
The reason me and some of my male friends enjoy supernatural is a great storyline, the complete absense of love triangles or even love interests in general, some acceptably acted underdog yet badass characters with fun one liners. Yeah, the boys can sure look moody, but man, do they have problems. It has interesting takes on urban legends (they had the Fritzie’s locked up children episode for fuck’s sake) superstitions (they have shotguns loaded with rock salt) and an – at least for TV – fresh take on the judeo-christian mythology (the agents of heaven are more meneacing than the demons of hell, Lucifer seems like a pretty cool guy, etc.).
In these busy weeks, watching the SN premiere is the only thing I can look forward to with my high school buddies. That and having our periods together I guess.
-
Terrence Stamp is what Zod's meant to look like in the SV universe, that's why they haven't cast him as Jor-El.
-
Dude kicks all ass!! Now I am really excited about the season. But I am in agreeance that the higher ups at Warner are passing on surefire money makers by not having Bruce Wayne or any of the higher tier DC characters make an appearance in smallville. It's such a damn waste. Ah well Sands as Jor-el, yea i'll take that.
-
Drunk or not - MAN UP, YOU WHINY BITCH! Don't let those fuckers EVER make you doubt your love for SUPERNATURAL!
Good points about the lack of a love triangle, though those Winchesters do hug it out way more than is healthily heterosexual. But no, I take your point - it's a show that puts PLOT and NARRATIVE way above shit like demographics and the generic bland gorgeousness of its cast - and while they ARE good looking, they do tend to do a better-than-average job on that series. SUPERNATURAL is easily the most under-rated SF/fantasy show on TV. Way more than that wannbe X-FILES-lite FRINGE, anyway. -
Dude had spiders crawling all over him in ARACHNOPHOBIA - including IN HIS FUCKING MOUTH!! - and said he "tried to think of it as an exotic massage". That's one hardcore motherfucker, to take that. Definitely NOT a whiny bitch.
Oh, and WARLOCK kicked EVERY kind of ass. It even made Richard E. Grant look badass. Not THAT is heroic fantasy for ya!
Yeah, WARLOCK is under-rated. Getting Julian Sands is definitely a GOOD thing. -
Don't be fuckin' up the joint while I'm gone. I'm warning you motherfuckers...
-
Is he gonna teach Supes to fly by killing an unbaptised virgin child and using his blood?
-
Now that there is cinematic gold.
-
For a "man" that engages in sexual relations with farm animals you are remarkedly homophobic. How did that happen goatfucker? Daddy stumble into your room at night?
-
I fuck/shit/frak you not. They're going on right now.
-
I know that's your default position because that's what you do. You have not seen one single frame of SN and your letting your secret longings for Sam show.Just admit you would like the cock. You will be happier and then you can stop with the sheep.
-
I think almost all of the bitching about a supernatural talkback would stop if Herc would just come out and tell us, flat out, "I Hate supernatual, so NO! I will not give you a supernatural talkback." What would be REALLY nice is if he said "Listen, I've given supernatural a chance and just do not like it at all." What do we get instead? A talkback for the supernatural finale WITHOUT THE FUCKING TALKBACK ENABLED" That's just spiteful and immature, and is way more of a 'fuck you' than him actually saying 'No supernatural talkabck, so fuck you guys.'Its not just about how there is no talkback... its how herc has handled the requests/demands.
-
I applaud you for sticking up for your favorite, sub-par TV show. "..Is a very good show when it wants to be..": Yes, it's SO great, it only has to be good when it's in the mood.
I have an idea; Make the show good. Period. Stop fucking up my Superman continuity with stupid plot holes. The plot holes probably exist because the producers can't believe they're STILL getting paid for this sub-standard shit. They probably figured they'd never have to have a "when Clark starts wearing glasses plan", because they figured it'd have been canceled four seasons ago. Black trench-coat my ass. Yackbacker, good on you. -
The problem is, If Herc actually gave it a chance and stopped trying to compare it to Buffy (which I think is great btw) he'd probably like it. Even if he didn't, well, at least that's something.
-
slated to play Jean-Luc Picard in the remake of Star Trek the Next Generation?
-
So, I think I'll stay for a while. I'm sure your beloved show can withstand my presence.
-
That's it. Just couldn't quite get into the whole Superboy90210 thing.
-
i was thinking--there is an overwhelming amount of support for supernatural, you can't miss it in other talkbacks. So the question is, with all this support for the show, why would herc NOT want to give it a chance? If you're job is to write about and give news about television shows, wouldn't that mean you love television and love finding a new gem of a show that has four completed seasons to binge on? If I wrote about TV, I would CONSTANTLY be searching for quality shows I haven't given a chance because a) i love finding new great shows to dive into and b) I love tv in general and c) its my job to turn people on to great shows they might not be watching. That's what you'd expect from someone writing about tv--someone who can find new shows for the readers... in this case, its the readers desperately trying to get the writer of a tv column to try a new and fantastic show... if you're doing your job, that shouldn't happen.

by lockesbrokenleg

-
Holy fucking SHIT! You have GOT to be shitting me! They were actually thinking of making a Wonder Twins movie too. I don't know if that's still in the works. Maybe this is a test?
-
You're forgetting one thing: Herc has habitually barely done anything on this site since it's inception besides throw a bunch of prices for DVD collections on Amazon.com in front of us. This has been the most information I've seen him put into one of his "articles" in a long time. But you make a great point. Seeking out and at least giving new shows a try and commenting on them is what a reviewer/critic is supposed to do. I'm not sure Herc is either of those though. He's more like a paraplegic auction barker...
-
Zod is a fucking GENERAL!
-
If you'd like to make a talkback, please log off and die again.
-
That's hillarious.
-
Supernatural is lame. Two pretty boys pretending to be fighting demonic forces. Yweah, how ezxciting, how dramatic, hwo thrilling! How boring! Supernatural, good for teenage girls to masturbate on the leads.
-
Congratulations, you are now a complete stupid retard. The level of your coments detrays your true retard nature. Fucking hick!

Oh nooo, the pussies cannot have their favorite shows trashed
by asimovlives
How hurtful in the ass it is for this nacyboys to have their favorite mediocres shows Smallville and Supernatural brough down! It's like fucking religion, this level of fanaticism is beyond hillarious. Fuck it!Smallville would had been amazing if the show was all about Lex Luthor, instead of that untalented emo bitch that supposedly i am to be convinced he's Superman. And people bitch about Brandon Routh! What a bunch of asses. Smallvilel should be about Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum in two minutes of screentime dominates the show more then that untalented emo bitch Tom Welling could in two seasons. Who like that fuck, anyway? Middle aged housewifes past menopause, dumb teenagers and gays.Which came to the second point, the fucking bullshit called Supernatural. The show that is about two pretty boy metrosexual emo shits who pretend they are fighting banal supernatural crap. Only fucking teen girls (the type who think Britney Spears is an artist) and gays (of the type who think Britney Spears is an artist) could like those two fucks as leads. What fucking bullshit is this shit supposed to be, anyway? Oh yeah, fantasy stuff for gays and teen girls to masturbate. Which seems to be working very well, considering the hyper bitchy reactions of some in here.Fuck's sakes! Carnivále and Rome get canceled and this Supernatural and Smallville bullshit endures. Proof that mediocrity rules the world.
-
Let people send in their reviews for a Supernatural TB ala Dr Who. Herc doesn't have to watch it, the fans get reviews, everyone gets a TB that doesn't span every other TB in the column.
-
---but remember, AsslivesAKa Mammaries of Mommy ALSO spooged his pants over Aliens Vs. Predator I too!!!!! And bags on Abrams Trek 24-7. You, sirrah-are Gay Sad Stupid in Oporto and sexually attracted to Goats. G'bye.
-
I don't think most people have a problem with you trashing "their" show. God knows, I hate most stuff others love here. It's the trollish parrot like repetition of the same stupid ass "it has good looking actors (OH NO) so it's for girls and gays!" over and over again about an underdog genre show. If you honestly want to hate the show, there are bunch of valid reasons to do that, no show is perfect, but you would actually have to watch it, not just look at one of CW ridicolous emo ads. Than we could like, have discussions, fight agains "mediocrity" but till you look at the totally misguiding posters, judge and start spewing venom, mediocrity will rule the world.
-
But it is a pretty good show and I'm tired of threads getting hijacked over it. Especially as I'm only just now starting S4 and I'm sick of not being able to avoid spoilers because Herc won't give it's fans an outlet. Obviously Herc can't start a TB for every show out there, but there are only a few shows that get as many requests for a TB as this one, so just give in to your target demographic already. Your site visitors like it better than Smallville (or any other CW show), deal with it. You can save TB space by cutting out your next Real World report.
Oh and while we're on the subject of honoring mass requests, I'll also throw my hat in for adding a 'maxlength' attribute to the TB subject input field. It'll take two seconds and stop so many mangled posting titles. Seriously, two seconds, to fix a big bug that's been plaguing you for years now. And once again, not posting about the Real World will give you those two seconds back to fix it. -
His Legion episode was the BEST thing Smallville has ever seen!
-
I only reepated ONCE. And´secondly, respect the nick, or else it's you who sounds liek an ass. See, i respect your nick, can i have the same courtesy, or is that too much of an intelligent and civilized thing to ask? Your call. Leave the retardness for the fuck asses like Sal_Brando and Xiphos and those retard idiots.
-
Great to see you continue to spread that fallacy. It's a true testement of your retardness. KeEp it up, retard. And as if that was not enough, you still kepp up with the stupid Oporto bullshit. Allow me to enlight a little bit your stupid mentally defficeitn retrd deseases brain of yours: i was bornh and live in Almada. Check that out ina map and see how much it relates tom Oporto, fuck face!Fuckign shit, you are retard beyond belief. Small wodner you love that shit Smallville and Supernatural and the Jar Jar Abrams' Emo Shit Trek so much. It's becoming to your zero intelligence level. Fucking ass! What a fucking loser! Go suck Lost Jarv and Jar Jar Abrams's cock, you fucking hick!
-
Pretty emo boys playing at ghost hunters. Genre TV reduced to complete bullshit for the satisfaction of teen girls and gays. Well, I guess they had to have a show specifically designed for them.
-
To shorten it, but I guess my subconcious intervened. I'm still saying you didn't see enough of SN to form a real opinion, and that makes this real mediocre talkbacking. I mean the last season involved one of the boys torturing and killing an innocent girl for what he beleived is for "the greater good" - the end point of slow character development from season 1. I'm not part of the "DARK AND SADISTIC IS AWESOME" crowd, I'm just saying it's a lot less fluff and a lot more gore than you would expect from the network.

You hate SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL but fucking ENJOYED AVP: BOLLOCKS??
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
You are fucking priceless. If you could get past your blatant homophobia, you'd find that behind SUPERNATURAL is a whole fucking raft of the greatest genre writers in SF TV today - veterans of THE X-FILES, MILLENNIUM, BUFFY, ANGEL... SUPERNATURAL is one of the best SF shows ever made. While you champion the cause of a sequel so spectacularly shit, even Paul W S Anderson wouldn't fucking go near it!
MAN UP, YOU WHINY BITCH!! you got fucking served. Go back to your Billy. -
...I smell a DGDB conspiracy here. This AssLives is coming over like an ADD-afflicted 13 year old spitting out his Cheetos in disgust, whilst being shafted by any half-brained TBer he rants at. Something smells fishy...
-
...when it was about Clark Kent's teenage years, instead of being an alternate history for Superman.
The next time DC does another "Earth in Infinite Crisis" type series, I hope one of the Earths they destroy is the Smallville Earth.
That would be very satisfying. -
It deserves to be where it is. In an alternate earth, far away from the regular Superman Earth's 2-15. Never mind that. Maybe they can have a crossover Superman from Superman Returns Earth, crosses into Smallville Earth. And shows Clark what he can be instead of a tool. And look I like Smallville. It has lost its way on many occasions. It does redeem itself every once in a while but it mucks about with stupid reveals and plot devices that jumbles up what could be an amazing show. And the bit where Kara flew off and didn't show Clark how to fly pissed me off. But hey I'm just a fanboy, and I can't complain because it's the only superhero show on that features superman at this moment.
-
Season 5 onwards just got worse, and worse, and worse. The irony is, I can't imagine a better Clark Kent, Lex Luthor, or Ma and Pa Kent than they had in this series. It's a shame that such a fantastic start to a great series has limped on for five years past where it should have.
Put this series out of its misery. Or have Pa Kent walk out of the shower, and give us a direct finale to the end of Season 4. SMALLVILLE has had its day, and these days, it's just sad to see it limp on to its bitter, uncaring end. -

Geniuses! There's a Supernatural talkback in AICN's The Zone!
by mcgowanleg
There's also one at the CW site, at Television Without Pity and the Facebook pages of half a million gays and 11-year-old girls.
Is Herc's column the only part of AICN you can read? Honestly, I don't think he hates Supernatural, I just think he doesn't give a shit. Like me and 99.7% of of America. (Supernatural is consistently the lowest rated show on Thursday nights. Even fucking Vampire Diaries pulls in twice its audience.)
People lobbied Herc for years to start covering Charmed and it never happened. Keep up the Supernatural spamming and trolling and someone will report it to Herc and you'll suddenly find yourselves without a talkback account. Go Darwin. -
dont u have a lame ass Heroes TB to defend???? also, Star trek was a good movie overall. its a REBOOT after all ASSimof...idiot....

So if there's no Green Lantern or Flash in the JSA episode...
by triple_j_72
Who the fuck from the JSA is going to BE in it? Hourman? Star Spangled Kid? Power Girl? Hawkman? WHO?
-
Shoving a SN TB in The Zone is equivalent to not having an "official" talkback - it's been kicked off the main page to go skulk at the shitty shed round back of the real site. We're mainly pissed as fans because SUPERNATURAL is deomnstrably one of the best genre shows out there. Only the kind of mindless freaks that judge a show by how good looking its leads are will misunderstand this - and continually slag off a show that is way more than the sum of its parts. SUPERNATURAL deserves better treatment, is all we're saying. And if Herc hates it for whatever reason (and he's entitled to his opinion, as are we all), then why not get someone else to cover it?
This isn't a bunch of misfits having a hissy fit - it's a bunch of fans of a criminally under-rated show pissed off at not having anywhere on the main site to discuss one of our main shows. And that's a problem - why, exactly? -
They really missed a trick there...
ZOD: My son, there is something you must know. You have been told by your crystals and the legends of your world, that Jor-El was your father.
KAL-EL: They told me enough! They told me YOU killed him... and the rest of Krypton!
ZOD: No, Kal. I AM YOUR FATHER!
KAL-EL: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
CREDITS: Somebody SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEE... -
Or are they just going to be mentioned and they'll show a lame "old" photograph of the team?

Whatever shows you like...yeah, I guess you're gay for watching them. Because they all have a sensitive pretty boy to keep girls asses in the seats. It's called covering demographics. Sopranos and The Wire being the possible exceptions. The funny thing about Supernatural, is the show constantly throws in jabs at the 'sensitive' guy for being kinda gay. They don't take the show too seriously, and if the viewer doesn't either, it's a pretty fun show.

...So I take it all those rumours a few months ago were bollocks then? Gawd bless the interweb.
