SMALLVILLE - New Season starts tonight 09/22/04 (MERGED)

[valn]

Well for what it's worth, I really loved the premiere

My favorite moment was

Spoiler

when Kal-El started flying and chased Lex's plane. Although I saw the "What is it? A bird, a plane?" coming, I still couldn't stop laughing.

Overall a great show, but I hope they don't sink back to the whole "monster of the week" theme...

BTW, is that new actor (

Spoiler

Lana's new boyfriend

) the same one who played in Dark Angel?

 

[Gab]

Did anyone catch the reference to the old Superman movies? The actress who played

Spoiler

Christopher Reeve's assistant (can't remember his character's name), isn't she the one who played Lois in the Superman movies?

She said something like ... falling in love with him (Christopher Reeve's character) in another lifetime...

Yes she is. I had heard about this and was hoping I would recognize her. I did and I hope we will see her again this season.

My friends and I realized something when the old Superman movies aired on TV a few weeks ago: Annette O'Toole, the actress who plays Martha Kent on SmallVille also played Lana Lang in Superman III.

AND the voice of Jor-el is Terence Stamp: "Kneel before ZOD!"

I still think Margot Kidder's just there so they can do a scene with her and Christopher Reeves in some episode during sweeps...


And that new Lois....Yowza!

[Henry]

Yes, the Margot Kidder moment had me laughing... "You and Dr. Swan? Yes... In another lifetime."

I think a scene with those two (Reeve and Kidder) will definitely be fun to watch.

But what the heck was up with (spoiler)

Spoiler

that Black Kryptonite? What the HECK was that? I don't remember it in the mythology! It honestly almost acts like red kryptonite is supposed to.

 

[Klaus]

Spoiler

Black kryptonite was never a part of pre-Crisis Superman cronology (current cronology has only green kryptonite). IIRC, colors were green, red, white, blue and gold.

That was a chicken way out, they were stuck on how to resolve it, thus the new rock.

I rewinded three times(VCR), just for the 'what the' feel to sink in...WOW!!!!!!!!!

Lois character I really liked and not because the girl is hot, she made me feel she was trouble, inteligent, full of life and able to fluster a man of steel, something Chloe and Lana have lacked. Did you notice that hair style matched Margo's, this is a trick of mental assocation.

Lana, it is always Lana, it always has to be Lana.

Ok, ok...I can't add anything else to that...wait, the wake up scene was (for Lana)....*jaw drops*

Rating: 9.5 (could have been a 10, except for the cheap rock trick)

 

[Mercule]

Okay, I need a spoiler. I forgot to rewind the VCR all the way and lost probably the last 5 minutes (if that) of the show. The last thing I saw was

Spoiler

the start of Lana's shower.

I assume that there was something more than eye candy involved, so what'd I miss?

SPOILER

Spoiler

Lana was at the church starting the rubbing of the plate to some warrior woman, she starts to notice some of the symbols match those in Clark's cave (that is what I saw) and places her hand on a wave looking one, there is a blinding light and next she wakes up in face down naked in her bed, a very rumpled and disheveled bed (take that to mean what you will), she has some artwork showing something but not sure what. Her door is being pounded on, she crawls from the bed weak and disoriented to find her new boyfriend wondering what happen to her as they were to meet over two ago. She keeps him out of the room and tells him she must have blacked out and to give her a few moments. We then see her in the shower and the tatoo, which matched the symbol she touched before blacking out.

Now my thoughts:

Spoiler

She had sex with someone.
She is the key to the next symbol if she is not the symbol.
She has a personality inside her to direct Clark.
Black Kyponite will be used against her in the future.

too expensive

Spoiler

when Kal-El started flying and chased Lex's plane. Although I saw the "What is it? A bird, a plane?" coming, I still couldn't stop laughing.

Oh yeah, that really qualifies for

Spoiler

the corniest line that still manages to deliver a chuckle in the episode. Though Lois' "I like nerdy guys with glasses," line comes in a very close second.
