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.

    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • 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. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • 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.
