Smallville Season 9


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!?

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.

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 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.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
