[Season 7] Smallville


Recommended Posts

Well still one episode of smallville this season is better than superman returns!, god that movie sucked.

I think Superman Returns was a good movie. I liked the way it pulled the superman story from the first two movies. I agree it could have been done a little better, but overall it was good. Smallville hasnt' been good since season one. It started going down hill and seems to be headed that way with every episode to date.

Isnt it the Network that creates the description and promo trailer? I remember Stargate Atlantis had this sort of issue, showing an Ancient warchip and mentioning the replicators but then the episode aired, nothing like that happened.

Yeah they hyped the flying a bit, but that doesnt mean it was a bad episode. The description was probably from the finale, and maybe he did learn or start learning how to fly during the finale version. But they cut it out at the last second since the writers strike ended, and didnt have time to update their description/trailer since it required more work to be done, things to be re-shot, and so on.

To me, smallville gets better and better every season. It is way more adult now than it was in the first 4 seasons where it was more like a high school drama type show, A LOT of freak of the weeks, and pretty much no enemy that clark needed to actually fight. The writers strike messed everything up on a lot of shows, its not the creators fault here.

Now that being said, I hope they come back with a bang and a huge one. I would love to see major battles, more justice league, more martian manhunter, more kara, and way more action. It looks like we are getting there.

Lex is declining FAST. Lex pushing Lionel off the edge will be one of the greatest moments of the show. Evil lex is beginning to emerge even more

Lionel warning of a new and very powerful danger that nobody will listen to him. Darkseid probably, has to do with the bang in space kara and brainiac created

The ONLY description IS "Kara teachs Clark how to Fly". To an extent, that WAS TRUE! Kara did go like "See clark, I showed you how to fly now you turn!" Now that is a 'Grey area' description. I mean, that descript could go either way from the start! Obviously Some (Who expects TOO much) people would expect Clark to actually fly (Forgetting the No-fly rule by the Producers), but people like me SEE it as just Teasing the viewers, and totally remember the No-fly rule and didn't expect him to fly AT ALL! So it DIDN'T surprise me at all that he didn't fly!

NO Spoiler, Trailer, or Description actually worded that "Clark actually flys".. (Those are all high expectation from fans want to see him fly) and if you saw a trailer of CK flying that's 100% Fanmade CW didn't put that out!

If Clarks flys at all this Season Finale, I would be surprised to be Honest, but I guess it's possible that Producers meant he won't fly before the LAST season, but for last season he can fly! So as a Season Finale, him flying at the end MIGHT be somewhat possible.

This episode was meant as a pre-strike Season Finale, so maybe those Flying stuff WAS True, but since it was no longer Finale it will be push back to the New Season Finale - "Arctic.

Now that being said, I hope they come back with a bang and a huge one. I would love to see major battles, more justice league, more martian manhunter, more kara, and way more action. It looks like we are getting there.

Yeah, Lex is definitely going to be at his EVILEST Hour next episode!!! Can't wait to see him Murder His OWN Dad

OMG That's EVIL AS HELL!!! :devil:

Yeah, they are building up to a Bigger plot that WILL put Clark in grave danger! I have a feeling a Villian will beat Clark Senseless!!!

Well, I think the last episode couple will be fine, but almost all episodes are very... average.

Smallville wasn't made for 8 seasons, it's just too long!

Next season we'll have the first episode explaining this one's finale, and after more and more empty episodes with 2 or 3 important scenes , I mean having an important role in the global story line.

Because of this fact, I often wait to have 5 or 6 episodes, and then watch them one after the other.

IMO, I think that a character as great as Clark Kent deserves a better TV show in terms of quality.

I know other shows where the suspense is present from the first minute of season premiere to the last second of the finale (Heroes, Dexter...).

My opinion isn't very important, but I just wanted to share it with you.

P.S: I joined this forum only for this thread.

Creators are gone!

TV Guide reports what could be Smallville's biggest shocker of the season: creators Al Gough and Miles Millar are departing the show at the end of this season! This is no April Fools joke!

As soon as I read this, I went to one of Smallville's most popular website, KryptonSite, and found the open letter both creators sent to announce their departure. "After much heartache and debate we have decided it is time for us to move on," they say in their letter.

I've been a fan since day 1. I think the show's taken some turns for the worse lately. It had that epic feel in the beginning, but not so much now. I don't know why exactly.

Things I never liked about the show:

1. Kryptonite's sometimes corny effect on humans. Kryptonite gum making Pete stretch. Making the glass maker control glass. Just stuff like that. Unpredictable effects would have been better.

2. Too much use of CGI for daily planet building exterior. I've always hated seeing that shot. Why can't we just see the inside and skip the cheap CGI? Do we always have to go exterior to interior. It's not like anything else looks like the daily planet on the show!

3. Clark's intelligence. Let's face it...if you can move faster than a speeding bullet then you can think that fast too, so why is Clark always surprised by things? If it takes a human 5 seconds to figure out a solution to something, Clark should be able to do that in less than a microsecond. Super-intelligence!

4. The whole Green Arrow thing. I didn't much care for it.

5. Lex + Lana. What was the point in that?

6. Jor-El. He's dead...his essence lives on in the fortress and then possesses people when needed? What happened to it being his memory.

7. My most hated. Why do Kryptonians speak English to each other? They have their own freaking language.

Smallville Gains New Show Runners

The CW Network has announced the new showrunners for Smallville's eighth season, following the shock decision by creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to step down.

The network told Coming Soon: "Al Gough and Miles Millar have been great partners and instrumental in the development and success of Smallville. While we are sad to see them go, we are very excited to announce that executive producers Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson will helm the show next season.

"[They] have been writing for the show for the past six seasons, and as producers for the last four years, they have played an integral role in the ongoing creative evolution of the series."

The announcement follows the unexpected departures of Gough and Millar, which were revealed via an open letter by the pair to fans of the show. They didn't explain specific causes for the exit, but stated: "As the creators of Smallville we look back at seven amazing years. We look back at 152 episodes. We look back knowing that the show will continue into season eight without us. After much heartache and debate we have decided it is time for us to move on."

Spoilers -

Question: Any scoop on the 150th episode of Smallville? ? Todd

Ausiello: It's airing on May 1, it's being directed by Tom Welling, it features the return of James Marsters as Braniac, and, according to exec producer Al Gough, it's another one of those alt-reality romps, only this time "Clark has to look at a world where potentially he never crash-landed on Earth. It's basically a version that could have happened ? and if Brainiac has his way, it will happen."

Question: I really need some good Smallville scoop involving Lois and Clark. C'mon, help me out here. ? Nora

Ausiello: Help is on the way! In the aforementioned 150th episode, we'll get our first glimpse of Clark sporting an iconic Superman look. What does that have to do with Lois, you ask? Well, Ms. Lane's responsible for the wardrobe change!

Question: Will Kristin Kreuk be back for any more episodes this season? And do you have any major news about the season finale? ? Joel

Ausiello: KK will be in some, but not all, of this season's remaining episodes, as she's currently in Thailand shooting Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Regarding the finale, I can tell you that the final scene(s) very much involve Lex finding some important pieces of the Superman puzzle. Hint: The title of the episode is "Arctic."

  • 2 weeks later...

While I wasn't able to watch all of Smallville last night, I did manage to record it to DVR for tonight's viewing.

I did happen to catch the last 10 minutes of it, and can't wait to see what happens.

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
