[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

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
