Gawd damn thats an ugly Smallville dvd case. by Shermdawg	Aug 2nd, 2007 05:58:22 AM
Try harder.
Do people still watch this? by jackalcack	Aug 2nd, 2007 06:02:45 AM
I just find the whole thing bullshit, like we're expected to believe all this teen Buffy-esque bullshit went down before he became Superman.
Yes we do. Any more dumb questions? by Yeti	Aug 2nd, 2007 06:09:58 AM
???
We all watch because of Chloe. by tonagan	Aug 2nd, 2007 06:15:20 AM
Where else are you going to get your fix of cute and smart nowadays?
Oh dear... by jackalcack	Aug 2nd, 2007 06:24:54 AM
...I didn't mean to cause offence
I see what you did there... by Tallguyme	Aug 2nd, 2007 06:29:04 AM
footsteps... Reeve... ha.
They need to make a Veronica Mars/Chloe Sullivan show by photoboy	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:13:28 AM
Like right now.
what we need is... by Automation Overlord	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:19:38 AM
both jimmy olsens from L&C to appear together, maybe as smallville's jimmy olsen's gay fathers?
hahahaha nice one Tallguyme... by couP	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:22:32 AM
even though I did cringe initially.
90's Superman Gotta Eat! by themikejonas	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:37:45 AM
Honestly, though, I kinda dug the first couple of seasons of L&C when Lex Luthor was around. Hey, maybe they could bring John Shea in and have him play Lionel's previously unseen brother Larry or something...
so... by Al Delvechio	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:48:42 AM
is it some kind of "Which Superman bastardization is shittier" competition? Will the guy from the 1970s broadway musical be on there too?
Too bad Lane Smith is dead by SpyGuy	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:54:20 AM
He was the best Perry White since Jackie Cooper. Sorry, Michael McKean and Frank Langella, but you know it's true.
GIVE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by The Ape Giggins	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:03:54 AM
Why not give the guy who played Peter Parker/Spiderman in the 70's SPIDERMAN TV series some kind of clever cameo, I mean JEEZ-US...
Or maybe... by The Ape Giggins	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:15:59 AM
...you could have Gil Gerard guest star as a guy who may or may not be a time traveler...from the 25th century! Wheeeeee, HA HA! Writin' for Smallville is fun, this shit practicaly writes itself!
his name was Nicholas Hammond by tonamania	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:23:19 AM
70s SpiderMan that is. And I did remember that from memory.
Get Michael Keaton by PoppaRotzi	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:45:32 AM
To play Bruce Wayne's dad.
Nicholas Hammond was a Sound of Music kid too... by tonagan	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:55:21 AM
And throw Matt Salinger in as Captain America's dad for a DC/Marvel crossover.
Savage is one of the greatest characters in by jimbojones123	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:55:48 AM
The DC Universe. Hope they don't drop the ball again and tarnish yet another DCU character. Maybe Savage is actually a time traveler and accidently found a worm hole in 25K BC. Transported to the future he had access to a time machine (think Voyagers TV show -- yeah that was greatness) and now is doing a stint in Metropolis. Or even worse. He reincarnates himself. We know Smallvill can't actually follow a Comic based storyline without adding a dumbing down and absolute altering of the character to the point of being unrecognizalbe from their original concept. How is Mxy by the way?
2 Smallville stories in 3 hrs??? by jimbojones123	Aug 2nd, 2007 08:57:03 AM
What is AICN coming to? We haven't seen 2 Smallville stories in the past year? Shermdawg -- enjoy while it lasts. There won't be a single talkback this year.
Captain America by tonamania	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:06:26 AM
Reb Brown? Anyone ever see that movie with Reb Brown & Lou Ferrigno? Ferrigno took one to the head in 'Nam and became a "hulking" little child who liked the wrestling. And the baddies stole Lou to participate in illegal street fighting. And Reb went to save the day. good stuff.
photoboy by RockLobster800	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:11:47 AM
Damn straight-even a Chloe solo show would be better than Smallville...just her trying to dig up dirt on the only other good thing on the show, Michael Rosenbaum.
Tonamania by MRJONZ72	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:18:42 AM
You are talking about the Cage. Only reason I watched it cause Captian America and The Hulk were in the same movie. Did you ever see part II, Shannon Lee was in it (Bruces Daughter, Brandons Sis).. Came out like a year after Brandon died. So with them 3 in it, I had to watch it, even though I dind think much of the movies.
MRJONZ72 by tonamania	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:28:41 AM
holy crap - didn't realize they made a sequel AND kept Hulk & Cap. (But then again, movie wise, what else were our 2 superheroes going to do?) Not even on Amazon - had to look it up on IMDB. Wouldn't mind watching Reb on one of these feel good teenie "superhero" shows go medieval on someone. I'm assuming Reb is still around and in decent shape of course.
what would potentioally be cool on Smallville by Bloo	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:49:20 AM
at least for us would be to get Tim Daley as someone
Dean Cain was a great Clark Kent by teethgnasher	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:55:26 AM
Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane. Yummy.
Dean Cain as Jor-Els drinking buddy. by teethgnasher	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:56:59 AM
Hardcore drinking is allowed in the DC Universe now. So is whoring.
So Vandal Savage has a voice like a little boy? by DevilCat	Aug 2nd, 2007 10:34:30 AM
Funny. I always pictured him sounding like a cross between James Earl Jones and Leonard Nimoy, not someone with a high squeaky voice, like Chris Reeve playing Clark Kent.
SmallVille is ......... by boyblue	Aug 2nd, 2007 10:54:16 AM
Shit, im sorry but it really is! To tell you the truth I aint even sorry, But it's still shit!!
"Hope they don't drop the ball again and tarnish yet... by The Ape Giggins	Aug 2nd, 2007 11:13:28 AM
...another DCU character." This is Smallville, they're not even going to bother to pick the ball up in the first place.
should of had deah cain play zod by sonnyhooper	Aug 2nd, 2007 11:45:07 AM
have him grow in the goatee, slick back the hair. "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!" then get terri hatcher to play clarks kryptonian moms. yowza!
Yes... Dean Cain should have played ZOD by Demode	Aug 2nd, 2007 12:07:23 PM
I agree. That would have been great to see. We may never see ZOD in the show though, although it is interesting that Jor-El is voiced by Terence Stamp, who was ZOD in the movie. My impression has always been that ZOD is pretending to be Jor-El to Clark.
I like this show but hope it's the last season by GreatCzarsGhost	Aug 2nd, 2007 12:09:28 PM
Smallville is fun and I enjoy wathcing it but it's about time Clark strp on the super suit and become the Man Of Steel.
So the measure of a Superman is how much sex he's had? by IAmJack'sUserID	Aug 2nd, 2007 02:29:49 PM
Wow, that's some retcon. I guess that would make Xiphos Plastic Man.
stunt casting by Trader Groucho 2	Aug 2nd, 2007 02:37:56 PM

oops, wrong talkback. sorry

dude's gotta work!
So Brainiac is not ever coming back? by Drath	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:32:41 PM
Brainiac, one of the biggest villains in Superman's rogues gallery, was a set up for Zod, a nothing character turned into something for the WB movies? Not that I dislike Zod, but Brainiac ought to have been in more of the show. Also this show stinks until they bring in costumes (real ones, not fucking hoods with sunglasses). Also, Clark not flying is lame. So is bitching about a show that I barely watch. Hey, so long as it's tooted as the best of Superman, I'll say what I want.
Great news! Now if only the show was watchable... by Paul T. Ryan	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:46:12 PM
I love that Smallville's producers keep putting all these old-school Superman cast members in the show. I just wish the show itself wasn't such a trite, melodramatic bore...
say what you will about Smallville... by lynxpro	Aug 2nd, 2007 07:47:02 PM
...but it is still better than Superman Returns was and costs $200 million less per episode.
Question (actually two) by My Pretty Pony	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:20:15 PM
Why do you people bother to post on this talkback if you hate Smallville so much? Why even bother to click on the link and read about the show in the first place??
The reason, Mr. P.P., is because... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Aug 2nd, 2007 09:39:09 PM
They all actually DO watch the show, but are — for some reason — so scared for being seen as fans of such "trite, melodramatic nonsense" that they feel the need to dis it, while they anxiously wait for the new season to start. I, for one, love Smallville. True, some parts of it suck (mostly that annoying skank Chloe and the fact that EVERYONE knows what adult Clark Kent looks like without glasses... apparently requiring Kent to, at some point, amnesia-kiss everyone in Metropolis and Smallville before he officially becomes Superman)... long digression... BUT, it easily has the BEST special effects of ANY superhero show I've seen on television, making it a constant joy to watch. Especially when the TV versions of Green Arrow, Aquaman and other DC staples just happen to wander into town for whatever reason. Plus, it also EASILY has THE BEST Lex Luthor shown on screen so far, FINALLY giving us a screwed up, homicidal genius who actually has serious plans for world domination that DON'T simply involve some asinine land scheme to make the next "Club Med". Oh, PLUS the fact that, despite her annoyingness, Lana Lang is REALLY hot. Even her detractors know it to be true...
OK, Xiphos. Here's your irony change. by IAmJack'sUserID	Aug 2nd, 2007 10:01:50 PM
Use it to buy a clue.
Dean Cain: Wasn't believable for a Metropolis minute. by Nosferatu Jones	Aug 2nd, 2007 10:30:22 PM
C'mon... DEAN CAIN??? Easily the dopiest Superman ever. Wasn't believable as a reporter OR a superhero. His voice-of-a-15-year-old didn't help matters either. Teri Hatcher, however... GREATEST. LOIS. LANE. EVER.
Smallville is written for kids by Queefer Bukkake	Aug 2nd, 2007 11:47:18 PM
It's essentially Superboy 90210. Flashy crap.
7 Seasons by SKULL1138	Aug 3rd, 2007 05:38:39 AM
So Clark was what 15 when the show began? Although he looked 25. And the show has been going for 7 seasons, so that makes Clark 22 right? So why is he still arsing about in Smallville with no flying ability, I think he would ahve become Superman by now, how long can they go on wih this before Superman appears, and why is Calrk so bad at fighting, hes fucking Superman for christs sake. I liked this show when it began for first couple of years, but now its absiolutely toxic, the same shit happens every year in the same order, they have zero imagination with their writing,the acting is deplorable at times (Except Lionel Luther) Lex used to be really complicated and interesting, now he is juts boring, this show needs to change to Superman soon, or just end, Smallvile and its small world is too boring, and how come everybody he knows in Metropolis in later life, all started in Smallville at soem point, its ridiculous. Oh and the comic book writers I think had Metropolis as NYC not Kansas city, dumbasses. I still watch this as the 6th Serioes has just started in the UK and there is nothing else to watch on a Sunday night, now LOst and 24 are finished, Bit this show needs to learn a little from Heroes, much bettre show by a country mile.
Time to answer some shit and put some people right! by boyblue	Aug 3rd, 2007 05:48:27 AM
lynxpro "say what you will about Smallville but it is still better than Superman Returns was and costs $200 million less per episode " Spoken like a true idiot! and My Pretty Pony "Why do you people bother to post on this talkback if you hate Smallville so much? Why even bother to click on the link and read about the show in the first place??" Let me explain when Superman Returns came out, proper superman fans had to put up with all the stupid fucking posts from smallville fans complaining that the plank from Cheaper by the Dozen wasnt playing Superman. So sit back shut up and let me finish! The consensus seems to be that although the producers of Smallville can talk up what they are doing, by name dropping and referring to different comic book era's and classic story arc's. They still manage to fuck it up! How this program ended up lasting so long is beyond me, Superman the early years, jesus christ he's taking his time growing up! Im pleased lost had the balls to say this is where we are going and this is how long it will take! With Smallville I think if they keep going the way they are the only tights clark is going to be putting on are the ones to help with his circulation when he's sitting in th retirment home playing brige with all the rest of the JLA lite!!
He should play Superman...... by RighteousBrother	Aug 3rd, 2007 05:55:44 AM
from an alternate reality, that comes to visit Clark in Smallville, that would rocketh, hardeth.

Oh, PLUS the fact that, despite her annoyingness, Lana Lang is REALLY hot. Even her detractors know it to be true... I watch the show because there is nothing else to watch at that time, and I have fuck all else to do, and I really love the Superman films, the first time I heard the music on SV I was like ...Yeah here we go, then nothing. I dont really like it, but it is watchable, I do F Forward through some episodes and parts, but I would love someone else to come in and start it again, because it could have been so good, and it is actually pretty lame, good SFX yes, but story wise and acting it is very "Super 90210" which is to get young american audiences watcing it I suppose, it has not worked. I actually like Chloe better than Lana, everyone I know who has ever watched that show has said to me they would love Lana Lang to die, she is such an annoying character and the whole Clark and her thing has went on far too long, I mean we know they dont get together ion the end anyway, so why keep playing the will they wont they game, bump her off and concentrate on Lois Lane (Who's blonde?????) Lex was the best version of Lex I had seen a few seasons ago, That was my only dissapointment of the S Returnms film, Lex was too Gene Hackman, although had more bite than him. But Lex in smallville the last 2 years has been ruined for me, he is now a joke character, and the whole Lana thing, Zod thing was done very badly. Thats why I say its time to warp things up or just move them along a a greater pace. Green arrow, Flash etc, they should pop up...Once he is fucking Superman, not while he is arsing about in Smallville, they should all be kicking ass in Metropolis, and Supes should be so much harder than all of them i.e. Cyborg could be crushed by Superman with one hand, its just metal. Falsh could not utrun Superman, cos Supes can fly to China in seconds. Plus you know the only reason they have denied Clark his flying (Supermans most recognisable trait) is because they dont have the SFX budget to do it more than once a season. Thats my beef with it, I am not a hater, niot just hear to trash a show I dont watch, but I also dont secretly love it and just say I dont to be big and clever. Its very flawed, and could have been so much better, it started so well, I could write 1 series outline that would blopw away anything they have done yet, but they would not go for it because they are limited in what they want to do, they just want to keep him out the costume, out of the sky's and out of any real drama till they eventually get cancelled and Tom welling is 36. What age is he anyway, I am 29 and he looks the same age roughly as me. No younger really than Brandon Routh anyway?
Dean Cain was a great Clark Kent? WTF? by Napolean Solo	Aug 3rd, 2007 06:27:04 AM
You joking right? He was barely watchable as Clark and played Superman exactly the same as his alter-ego. "Great" is not a word even he would use for his performance.

Boy Blue by SKULL1138	Aug 3rd, 2007 06:31:36 AM
I have to agree with everything you say. Nap solo, I also agree with what you say Dean cain is a fucking fudgpaker with the acting talent of a robot ameoba. The guys is lame in everything a 2 bit, sports star who thinks he looks pretty, But Losi was palyed well by Terri Hatcher i have to admit, much better than the Blonde in SV.
Um...Dean Cain WAS a great Clark Kent. by SpyGuy	Aug 3rd, 2007 07:44:25 AM
Especially in the first season, but it wasn't Cain's fault that the scripts became progessively campier (I can't even watch the third and fourth seasons). Cain brought back the "hip" Clark Kent that George Reeves defined so well in THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN and was a great contrast to Chris Reeve's "nerdy" Kent. If Cain's Superman portrayal wasn't so stilted and awkward, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
Lex as Zod by McCroskey	Aug 3rd, 2007 08:11:17 AM
Using Lex as a vessel for Zod was lame, but Smallville still does Lex better than any of the movies ever has. Its still hard to believe that Singer chose to completely ignore the vastly superior vision of Lex that emerged in the 80s just to stay true to the Donner movies, which when it came to Lex, sucked ass. Its a shame that the general public is most aware of a crap version of Lex, while the superior version has been limited to comic books, cartoons, and the last two live action television shows (yes, even Lois and Clark did Lex well until his obsession with Lois led to his downfall, though on that show, it sort of made sense).
this show is like, 50% shit by BizarroJerry	Aug 3rd, 2007 08:39:46 AM
but I really like the OTHER 50%. There are some truly great superman moments that crop up now and then on that show. But there are also just terrible, terrible episodes out there. The show's very inconsistent, with long stretches of pointless episodes, broken up by usually good "mythology" shows. And folks, despite what they're hinting at, it's pointless to believe this show is leading up to the exact Superman we've seen in comics, etc. They've gone off in their own direction, and I kinda like it that way. And yes, the strongest things about the show are Allison Mack (Chloe) and Michael Rosenbaum (Lex).
oh, and as for the cameos? by BizarroJerry	Aug 3rd, 2007 08:43:09 AM
I'd like to see constant cameos, no matter how forced and staged. I want Superman voice actors and whoever that guy was on that awful Superboy show. How about the original movie Jimmy Olsen. Hell, how about Ned Beatty? And while it would never happen, and he would never be coerced into doing it, I'd like to see some Gene Hackman. That, of course, would make every other actor on that show look like they should be starring in high school musicals. Seriously, has their ever been an actor associated with Superman who was as good an actor?
SKULL1138 by boyblue	Aug 3rd, 2007 08:48:39 AM
cheers. Oh and whoever it was up there that implied Hackmans Luthor was crap! You need to put down whatever the fuck it is your smoking! Be it Jamaica's finest or monkey pole, it aint doing you much good!!
Cains Superman was okay for a limited camp tv show by RockLobster800	Aug 3rd, 2007 09:11:10 AM
I could have bought him as the in costume Supes, but his Clark....what was the difference between the two characters? hmm?....I mean come on! Teri Hatcher nailed Lois though-although Erica Durance aint bad-better than Kate BOREsworth-Jesus what was Singer thinking? Anyway,Smallville-END!! NOW. Youve out stayed your welcome. Give Chloe her own show and just finish with a big finale with Clark in his Super duds for the first time meeting Lex (its clear that at this point Lex is gonna know who he is) and saying something like "Ill be keeping an eye on you Luthor" before swooping off into the sky and into space to circle earth ala the flicks.
Sometimes I think Smallville is bad by kwisatzhaderach	Aug 3rd, 2007 01:36:38 PM
then I remember Superman Returns. Smallville has gone downhill though, first few series were pretty good. Hopefully this season willl be the last though? They can't drag it out forever.
Vandal Savage? by XAOS	Aug 3rd, 2007 03:47:11 PM
O_O If true, not dream casting but a nerd-friendly character at least
Kirk Alyn was busy. by Bubba Gillman	Aug 3rd, 2007 05:24:42 PM
And I still like Smallville. Individual episodes are hit and miss (like any other show), but when it's on it's pretty good. Oh, and SR rules.
BEST part of the Smallville season finalé last year? by TheGhostWhoLurks	Aug 3rd, 2007 06:03:47 PM
Chloe DYING! FINALLY, after 6 long years of torture, my dreams of having that clingy, whiny, annoying Clark-groupy knocked off were finally realized. Of course, they could always bring her back, but the fact that she's not a "canon" character and that her death could serve as the impetus for Lois Lane to become the hard-hitting investigative reporter she's known for, gives me HOPE that Chloe Sullivan is permanent maggot food. And yes... I really DO hate the character THAT much. She's Clark's personal "Fatal Attraction."
Oh, and Superman Returns... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Aug 3rd, 2007 06:18:47 PM
was the WORST depiction of Superman EVER on the screen, animated or live-action. I never thought I would ever see anyone get the Man of Steel done so WRONG. Out of wedlock father? Abandoning Earth and Lois for years without a word to looking for Krypton when EVERYONE knew it was long gone? Stalking Lois after coming back and spying on her and her new family? NOT marrying Lois (although they still love one another) and just flying off after discovering he's fathered her 6-year-old son??? Pure crap, completely selfish and irresponsible and in no way, shape, or form anything LIKE Superman. SINO!!! >:P Even worse is the fact that they're allowing the SAME IDIOTS responsible for this crap to take another dump on the poor guy. At least I'll save myself 10 bucks when it comes out... plus, it makes Smallville look like cinematic GOLD in comparison.

I was a kid when it came out, but bought the DVDs as they came out and have really enjoyed watching them again. Yes, they're campy as hell (especially the last two seasons), but Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher had incredible chemistry first as rivals then as partners. The show was less about Superman and more about the two reporters, and I really dug that. Plus, the nerdy Clark character is lame. Clark is who he is and Superman is his costume; any other way makes no sense to me.

So you'd rather have Stalkerman/Scrawnyman/Superman Lifts than Smallville? You are either insane or your name is Jon Peters, as if there is a difference. Now go back to compulsively viewing that trite on your HD DVD Xbox360 add-on before I stick you in a mylar bag with Spawn #1 which is probably worth more than your opinion...maybe.
TheGhostWhoLurks...you forgot Lex Luthor by McCroskey	Aug 4th, 2007 09:10:54 AM
With the bizarre decision to stay true to Donner, Singer completely ignored the vastly superior version of Lex Luthor that began with the Byrne re-imagining. It sucks that this superior Lex has been limited to cartoons and tv shows. Lex as the brilliant corporate tycoon would make for a much better villain than a guy obsessed with apocalyptic real estate schemes.
Actually, Superman's who he is and CLARK's the costume by DevilCat	Aug 4th, 2007 07:01:23 PM
Or at least that's how it was for at least the first fifty years of the character's history, until Byrne and a bunch of fired Marvel writers got to work at DC.
