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

Hmmm...

What I found most interesting was that Lionel had a rebuttal to most all of Lois' 'accusations', except for the last... That he was being setup.


Next week shall not arrive soon enough!

Yes, I liked this a lot as well. When I saw last season's finale, I immediately assumed that Lionel was behind it. But if Lionel wasn't behind it, then somebody else wants him out of jail. And if somebody else, who has chosen to remain unknown, wants Lionel out of jail, you have to wonder why.

It's Morgan Edge, I tellya! THEY AINT DEAD 'TIL YOU'VE SEEN THE BODY ROT (and even then, an infusion of Kryptonian blood will still revive him/her/it)!

Because I'm sometimes a sneaky SOB, here's a loony idea... it was the FBI that blew up the safe house, in order to convince Lionel that Chloe was dead (because while blowing up a safe house isn't his style, arranging for a key witness against him to die certainly is). And everyone except the prosecutor is going to be very surpsised when she shows up for the trial.

... an ant-headed humanoid ...

Clark: I keep having these dreams where I'm a TV news anchorman, or a gorilla, or have an ant's head... and I have this recurring dream where I'm just an actor on a strange television version of my life. You ever have dreams like that?

Bruce: Everybody has dreams like that.

J'onn: I don't.

-- From "The Wake"

Yeah, um... just reminded me of that, is all. :o

I think it's an FBI trick, too, actually. It makes pretty good sense.
 


Check out "Rumours" on the above web site!

The WB's Official Description (Posted 9/10)

(To summarize, since reposting isn't allowed):

Lois & Clark are investigating Chloe's "murder", when they're stopped by Geberal Sam Lane (played by Michael Ironside), Lois' father. Both suspect that he knows more than he's telling, so get caught searching his room. Later, Clark discovers that he has recently been in contact with Lex (of course... and we know that Lex had contacts with the FBI while getting evidence on his father, so "The FBI faked Chloe's death" looks right). Meanwhile, Lois' jibes at Lionel cause him to suspect that "Ms. Sullivan" is alive, and send a Freak-of-the-Week assassin, whose arms can become any metal weapon, to "finish the job, this time." Chloe, meanwhile, returns in this episode. Rumour has it that the scene opens with "You have a visitor, Ms. Sullivan.", and the door opens, revealing a guard and Lex...

On another front, "strange circumstances" return Lana home, and her new beau follows, apparently becoming Smallville High's latest assistant football coach, while he and Lana keep their relationship secret (because he's employed by the school?). Lana goes to say hello to Clark, and apparently catches him in a smooch/embrace with Lois!

In a later episode, Lois, Lana, AND Chloe all get possessed by "Witches" from the 1600s who MAY have been ancestors, and also Kryptonians! Also, both Sam Jones III and "Whitney" (Lois' old boyfriend) return for guest appearances, either in flashbacks, or for a visit.

Also, both a "new threat" (probably magic), and a "new power" make their debut, this season... It is almost certainly NOT Flight, however! (Tele-/Micro-scopic Vision?)

So, we KNOW that Chloe is still alive. No word on Morgan Edge! We also know that there will be an episode entitled "Transference", in which Lionel Luthor, aided by an emprisoned Mathematician who helps him figure out 17% of the Kryptonian Language, trades bodies with... (wait for it!)... no, not Lex, but... CLARK KENT! Kent, in jail, learns about the transference, while Lionel, now in Clark's body, helps Jonathan by lifting a combine!... Thus, both learn quite a bit more about the other (but how much?)!

This also sets Lex up for... what? Soulnapping? Someone predicted this, last year, but I think it won't happen... I predict that Lex will have Lionel killed, after Clark gets his body back. One more step down the long, dark road to Super-Villian-dom.

In any case, should be an interesting season! :D

According to TV Tome...

Ep 68 ("Gone", airing 9/29/2004) will feature Gen. Sam Lane.
Ep 71 ("Run," airing 10/20/2004) will feature Bart Allen (!)
Ep 73 ("Jinx," airing 11/3/2004) will feature a Mr. Mikail Mxyzptlk.....
 

I can't wrap my head around the decision of using Bart "Impulse/Kid Flash".

Sure, at this point Barry Allen would probably be in college (or senior high school) and have no powers, and Wally West would probably be 4 years old (and powerless). If a Flash is needed, why not go with Jay Garrick (in his 50s), already retired from being a superhero, and letting Clark know that he's not alone in this world?

Some other cameos that could be very cool:

- Female greek exchange student, seems to be the match of Clark in all respects (Diana... just Diana).
- Brown-haired, green eyed, ladies-man 19-year-old Air Force recruit, on his way to the Coast City Air Base to start training as a pilot, with an eye on becoming a test pilot someday (Harold "Hal" Jordan).
- Silent, unassuming police detective from Chicago. Always seem to show up from nowhere, and sometimes seem to know what you're thinking (Jones. John Jones).
- On a trip to Metropolis, Clark runs into a blonde lad, about his age. He's recently lost his father, a lighthouse keeper. He has been trying to find clues to his mother (Arthur Curry).
- Young blonde girl with a beautiful singing voice. But sometimes she gets too carried away and things tend to shatter on a high note (Dinah Lance, stagename "Black Canary").
- Haly Circus passes through Smallville. One of the highlights is the acrobat family The Flying Graysons, romanian immigrants. Clark meets John and Mary Grayson and has to watch their 5-year-old son, Richard. Clark tells him stories he learned from Krypton history, specially the one about a man who donned a costume to fight injustice, and called himself Nightwing.
- On a trip to Metropolis University, Clark meets brilliant physics professor Raymond Palmer, who's beginning his work on a piece of white dwarf star matter.
- A band of mobsters pass through Smallville. Clark has to contain them, but gets some help from the mobsters' former goon, "Eel" O'Brien.

That reminds me of the one cameo I always wanted to see in the X-Files. It was to have Kyle MacLachlan just walking down the hallway past Mulder and Scully. As they walked past each other, I just wanted them to say "Hi, Coop." "Hi, Fox". that was it. Oh well.
