Smallville Season 8!


Recommended Posts

When? What ep?:unsure:

I think the episode where he wished he never came to earth. Then he sees what would have happend and Lex was president. He took the advice from Lois, who didn't know him, to act as a reporter for the daily planet. This all before he actually joined daily planet

And sadly the limping horse called Smallville drags on....and on....and on....

Grow a pair and fly Clark, be superman already. If they're going to do the Justice League, Superman needs time for independant adventures before JL forms. Bleh the story lines suck, IMO.

why do I keep watching? Hope for Superman to show? I suck for watching.

I forgot to mention stop calling the show Smallville when it is really Dramaville.

i couldn't agree with you more :(

Damn! I thought that was scene meant he finally got his secret identity in place and this scene would happen later in the season! :(

This episode was rubbish. I thought last week's was boring but this was even worse. Oliver's storyline was a little better than the Clark/Lana one. Can't believe they brought back 'tremor sex'!! As if it wasn't bad enough the first time around.

At least Lana's finally off the show, something which should have happened 2-3 season's ago.

I don't get it. They had a couple of very good episodes followed by filler crap. Are the writers not capable of coming up with more than 4-5 'very good' episodes a season? Surely they could have had Doomsday feature while still setting up nice arc leading to the finale...

Is it just me or is the actor that plays Clark one of the worst actor currently on TV. He always sounds like his just reciting his lines (A.k.a cue card).

I agree

Also so sick of the on / off again lana + clark crap ; its so boring

Also annoyed at the lame way they ended the Lex story arc (i wanted a good showdown with lex + clark, not just a boring explosion)

i also agree! (also one can say this about smallville since season 1)

I kinda like his "relaxed" style of acting. It makes the show watchable for me.

wow, a decent episode(compared to last one) gets ruined by never ending lona & clark cheese-fest.

what the hell happened to jimmy & lois ? no mention of them in 3 episodes, lol.

I was thinking the same thing. The last thing I remember is Chloe mentioning something about switching spots with her cousin to keep an eye on Jimmy.

WTF is Chloe still doing in Metropolis anyway? You'd think that having just tied the knot, she'd want to be by her husband's side. Yet here she is carrying on running the Isis Foundation like nothing's happened. Come on, surely the writers aren't so stupid to have missed this.

That looks good, but don't all trailers? I hope they finally move the story forward, although exposing himself like that seems....over the top?

I have a feeling there will be some sort of "undoing" event where everything gets reset to before he told people about himself.

No need to wonder whether "Smallville" will be back for a ninth season. Or if "Supernatural" will have yet another outing.

The CW has renewed six shows Tuesday, including both "Smallville" and "Supernatural," showing the world that despite its sagging ratings, it's here to stay ... at least for now.

By all accounts, the current season of "Smallville" was supposed to be its final one. The creators had left before the start of the season, as did the show's big bad guy, Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor. But the new creative team provided a spark to the show that no one saw coming, and ratings -- while slightly off from last year -- are much stronger than expected. In fact, "Smallville" remains one of The CW's highest-rated shows.

Viewing numbers were not a question mark for a return of the show at all. In fact, it seemed the only sticking point was coming to terms with series star Tom Welling for a ninth season, a contract that apparently has been signed with the renewal.

"Supernatural" has been a solid lead-out show for "Smallville," and some consider the pairing of the two genre programs as the best one-two punch on any network's schedule. While both shows don't pull too much from the female audience The CW has been trying to attract, it still remains an anchor to the network's overall schedule.

One show that is now sitting on the bubble, however, is "Reaper." No decision has been made on that show quite yet as its second season doesn't even premiere until next week. Once it gets a few episodes under its belt, it's likely The CW will make a decision on whether it will see a third season or not.

Chances aren't good for the show, however. The CW, in renewing six programs and already announcing plans for at least two more tied with its "90210" and "Gossip Girl," has very little room on its schedule, meaning it might be easier to cut loose shows like "Reaper" if it's not pulling in the audiences needed.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
