[Season 7] Smallville


Recommended Posts

screw all you moaners about the writing and acting, i'll watch it till the end. Reason? because its good tv.

it has a good combination, excellent musical score + great action scenes + decent visuals + good acting + interesting plots each episode. smallville ftw.

If you read any of MY posts, you'd know that I had been defending Smallville too, but I am really very Unpleased with the way the writers handled the latest episode by Clark saying "I Don't Care about Lex" after he said "I am going to Stop Lex" just a week ago... I mean who the hell write like this?

What is Clark Kent to be like that? A Moron?

That speech by Clark really ****ed me off.

i also agree, i think the writers are just loosing their steam in trying to drag it on this long. Also i think part of it is the CW network, for one their commercial time is ridiculously long and too frequent so im wondering if money might be an issue now for the show as well.

Next year better be worth it for the last season

edit: If lex finds out clarks secret wont that ruin the show or at least the story?

I honestly don't remember when Clark said that but couldn't he have meant it as "I don't care about Lex". You know? Sort of like "I don't care if he dies" or something.

Well, this has been happening since Season 1. In one episode they say on thing (like the Lana/Clark forever-ongoing-arc), and the next episode, they magically change their mind.

Great show though, cannonballed Season 3 on saturday/sunday. All 23 episodes.

Smallville's Future! - MAJOR NEWS!!!

NO Lex in Season 8.... Edit: At least not as a series regular I guess guest spot is possible... sorry about that.

UPDATED 5/1/08: Michael Rosenbaum will not be returning as a series regular for Season 8. Negotiations are continuing to try and bring Allison Mack back next year. Kristin Kreuk will be back for at least part of Season Eight.

Tom Welling, Aaron Ashmore, Laura Vandervoort, and Erica Durance are all still said to be signed and expected to return for the show's eighth year. John Glover was also still on contract, though we saw from "Descent" that there was a change in plans.

Two new characters have been announced for Season 8:

Doomsday: In season eight, Clark will face his ultimate challenge with the appearance of the legendary, unstoppable destroyer Doomsday, who appears on ?Smallville? for the first time. As comic book fans know, Doomsday is notorious for being the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman.

Female villain: Doomsday won?t be Clark?s only nemesis in the upcoming season. The executive producers are tight-lipped about a new female villain they will be introducing, but they can say she will be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister, our gorgeous new villain has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite for him.

Not sure if this is needed to be spoiler tagged, but just to be safe...

I LOVE the Clark/Lois moments!:D! :D

The writing was often senseless still, but overall I LIKED last night's episode.

I just wish those writers respect us Audiences intelligence :(re... :(

I don't get how the heck they can bring in Doomsday just like this. I mean, Brainiac I can see as he was easily beaten most of the time for Supes. But Doomsday? He killed Superman for christ sake! Ugh. Wanna be he's gonna be portrayed as some angst ridden teener? And wait, if Clark is going to take on Doomsday, WILL HE LEARN TO FREAKEN FLY FINALLY? How could he possibly take on Doomsday without all his powers? Bleh.

Bye bye Lex, gonna miss ya!

The alt. universe stuff was great. And it was AWESOME to see Clark Kent Ace Reporter - with glasses and all! And a nice moment with Lois as well. Thank god they will be moving to a Clark/Lois relationship now. If I had to take anymore of Lana I'd gouge my eyes out I think.

Great climax with Brainiac. Loved the "there's no yellow sun to charge you, human" line, heh.

Btw, anyone else notice the nuclear detonation scene, was oddly like (read: exactly like) that scene from Terminator 3. In fact, the launch scene, except for the foreground shot of Smallville looked like one of the launch scenes from T3 also....

I really enjoyed the episode, good too see a progression in the relationship between lois and clark as yo'll said, and also bringing it back to the original superman series and movies the reporter with glasses on loved it! Was a BIG fan of the original superman series!

And obvs brainiac isn't exactly dead because of what happened to kara at the end, right?

Ditto. I also thought of the nuclear detonation scene from the Battlestar Galactica miniseries.

what was happening to kara at the end? i don't get it?

My guess is, it's Brainiac :) Note how he was laughing his butt off when she was gonna drop the big rock thingie on him? Yeah, Brainiac don't go that easy, not even in the comics heh.

Don't forget also, when he first showed up in season 5 (or 6?) he was just a black liquid thing. He coulda "melded" with Kara or something. Besides, if you read any of the spoilers for the season finale, you know what happens to Kara by then :D

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
