Smallville Season 9

[Unrealistic]

Is that dude ever going to finally turn into Superman? 9 years and we still haven't seen him wearing the red cape!

Why on earth did you quote the entire beginning of the thread?

And, I think Nielson crap is stupid and Biased. I DON'T have a box at home, and pretty sure not many of you do, either.

In fact, I don't know any body else who has it!

Someone as passionate as you are about this show should watch it on TV, Live. You may think it is stupid and biased, but it shows your ignorance. They need ratings to continue on. A prime example of a failure waiting to happen was TSCC. Neilson boxes are not how they collect data. Most people in the US do not use over-the-air transmissions anymore, so they can collect data from cable/satellite/etc. Now that we are on digital broadcasting, they can easily collect that information as well. The ratings are pretty accurate.

It was sent to death on Fridays. Do you not see what is happening? If you want this show to continue on, support it by watching it live. Throwing tantrums on this forum and using the SHIFT key with exclamat!on marks and bold isn't going bring in any revenue for the show.

[SuperJediMedia]

The ratings are pretty accurate

I DON'T trust that at all!

BTW, YES, I did watch it Live!

[Unrealistic]

Well good then. Regardless though, you need to realize that if these low numbers continue, you probably won't have a tenth season.

On the topic of the season though, do you know if Lex is going to return?

[Rappy Veteran]

you may not trust them but they are there to be seen. it's up to CW whether or not they cancel...the show has its fans and if its cancelled I am sure they will try to save it...9 seasons I think is still alot :p

[Antaris Veteran]

Considering the average show goes to 7 seasons, 9 is a lot! Potentially a 10th if I remember correctly

Well, Anyone who solely cares about what ratings a show gets, regardless of the MERIT of the show itself is a MORON, is what I think.

And, I think the general consensus is that this Season Premiere is Awesome, with little to No negative reviews from fans! If it continues to be good, and ratings continue to be low, I certainly give a BIG Middle finger to Nielson ratings!

No offense, Rappy, but I just DON'T give a damn about Ratings, I really CAN'T trust it when (like I said) Reality shows, American Idol, Craps on CBS gets the Highest ratings!

[Unrealistic]

Correct Antaris. I have high hopes for this season, but they tend to have some episodes here and there that don't continue from the previous episodes, which feel added on. As long as they keep the story entertaining and original, I don't see why they won't have a tenth season.

Jedi: You need to think a little deeper than this. When your company is paying for a show, and your return isn't as high as you would hope, you tend to cancel it, especially right now. It does not matter the quality of the show. Family Guy getting canned by Fox years ago is a prime example of this.

Ratings matter and you need to come to terms with that.

[Phantom Helix]

Jedi, the ratings really are not meant for US the viewers, they are not a review of the content of the show,

they are a means of measurement so shows know how much their advertising time is worth, and thus dictate how much revenue sale of that time is worth, if it is not making enough money to be profitable

It gets canceled

[episode]

Wow, those ratings are really bad. Looks like it might just be the last season after all!

Its on the CW.

[GameOverRob]

Awful episode so many cliches, and errors

[red.]

I'm not sure if i missed something in the episode but did they explain where all of those soldiers came from or why they were allowed to be in the mansion? I thought it was only Zod in the last season finale.

[Antaris Veteran]

They kinda drifted over parts of the story. For the soldiers, I think the Orb has transported them from the past, or had them preserved inside them, but when they were younger. The reason why I think it is likely to be the latter is because Zod is not currently a General, only a Major, so they must have been copied from an earlier part of Krypton's past. Not sure why they don't have their yellow-sun abilities, but they must gain them at some point, as that lady who follows Lois from the future is one from Zod's army, and has her abilities when she comes back.

Wasn't sure if Clark actually flew either, all you saw was him jump off the Statue of Liberty and then it cut to another scene!?

[RadishTM Veteran]

Crappy episode but Erica was damn hot :drool:

Radish?

Episode seemed a bit lost to me, no real direction or actual plot - just a bunch of "stuff".

Ah good, so i wasn't the only one thinking that they hadn't explained the soldiers/Zod thing.

Oh and i totally agree with Radish about Erica Durance. Just wish she wasn't so annoying sometimes :pinch:

Lois has always been annoying, in the movies and L&C. She was hot in that too, I know, different women but still hot. She's always getting in trouble and is poking her nose in stuff.

[coresx]

I wish they would sort out the mistakes and just out of the blue moments. Clark leaving his burnt symbol for Lois at the cage fight scene, I mean that is just stupid when he is suppose to take the bad girl away. Hold on a second while I leave this symbol then we can have a fight. It doesn't make sense at all and makes me roll my eyes at awful writing and direction. The show could be a lot better without obvious misdirection. Enough of the person gets knocked out, doesn't see it moments and the if you asked the right question or thought about it for two seconds moments you might get it Clark, Chloe, Lois etc. Terrible storytelling.

^ what the?

[Rappy Veteran]

[SuperJediMedia]

The show is really SO AWESOME this season!!! :D

[SuperJediMedia]

Now I know, BAG CAN act! This episode and Season Premiere really Rules I hope the rest of season is all this GOOD!!! :D :woot:

[Jordan Green]

not bad episode, not really filled with much info though.

[SuperJediMedia]

What type of info are you looking for? I mean, they have 22-ish episodes left and maybe another season. They got plenty of time I don't see the Rush.

No, not bad at all! Quality is MUCH MUCH MUCH better!!! Acting, directing, Music, mood is much better. You can tell from message boards response that it's not crap like last year's stuff.

They (CW, producers) are desperately trying to gain back fans, and I think it's Awesome enough to justify people renew their interest with this show.

[KoL Veteran]

I think they killed Metallo too quickly. A few more episodes would have been better or maybe half season. I think it would have been pretty good.

A lot of Lois these two episodes. I like it. :D
