Smallville Season 9


Recommended Posts

latest episode was miles better than the dumb zombie episode. I do wish there would be some better baddies and more superman action, at least that douche oliver has stopped being a douche and become the green arrow again.

Agreed, I enjoyed the episode.

Radish?

'Smallville' exec to fans: 'We're pushing for a 10th season!'

Smallville hasn?t even crossed the midway point of season 9 and already talk of a possible 10th season is heating up ? and not just among fans. ?We are really, really pushing for season 10,? executive producer Kelly Souders tells me. ?We really hope it happens.?

Although the show lost a good chunk of viewers since moving to that ratings kryptonite known as Friday night, the drop-off hasn?t been nearly as disastrous as some had predicted. And Souders believes that the numbers will rise as the season progresses. ?I think the word still isn?t out there that we?re on Friday nights. So if people keep tuning in and telling their friends about it, I think [a 10th season] is quite likely.?

The uncertainty surrounding the show?s future has proved challenging as Souders and her fellow writers begin to map out the second half of the season. Are they approaching a season finale or a series finale? ?It?s something that we faced last year, too,? she says. ?To try and break two different endings for a season kind of puts you at cross-purposes a little bit. For one, you?ll rev things up, and for another, you?re trying to bring everything to the finish line. But we?re really planning on breaking a season finale and not a series finale.?

As for whether we?ll get a glimpse of Clark in his iconic blue, red and yellow suit by the show?s conclusion, Souders says, ?We think Smallville from the get-go was about how a young man turns into Superman. And it?s really about the journey getting there. I can?t make any promises, but if it was ever going to happen, it would be at the very end.?

First seasons? Please, going back and watching the high school stuff with his obsession with Lana again is just too painful. I never did like the high school years of the show. He finally is not pouting that he is not normal and people are complaining?

They have to build Lois and Clark together, fix Oliver, build the Kandor story, and do everything else before they jump into the good stuff. I have liked every episode so far

+1

Ive loved every season so far, even the episodes of him with his obsession with Lana. Lets hope thou that season 9 does indeed ramp up with story and viewers and season 10 brings us the series finale that we all want with the man becoming, Superman once and for all.

as much as ive been a fan of the show from the beginning, I hope they do not milk it to another season. If they do that just gives them an excuse to to do more filler episodes and not have clark progress any in training. i dont see another season being a good thing.

Someone explain to me why Clark took an airplane to get to his father rather than running which would have been faster.

Clark didn't know his father was at the Kent farm; he just knew Jor-el was on earth. I had the same thought at first when I was watching the episode.

I didnt realise Clark could run over water........ not to mention his FRIEND olly turned up and offered to help him, you know you tend to want help from friends now and again.

I thought Chloe gave some "logical" reason for him to accept a ride from Oliver, not sure though, I'd have to go back and watch that part again though.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
