Smallville - Now with Supergirl
 

There are several in fact, let me list a few of them

Lex Luthor (in his unauthorized biography) had poor parents and started his empire on his own (and he had hair as a kid) not seperating from lionel's company
Krypto was named in honor of Superman's death (1993) not found by the young clark kent
Barry Allen was the first Flash, not Bart
Smallville and Metropolis are in different states, in the show they are only a few miles away
Jor-El's message to Clark in the pod
In the comics, supes could fly from a young age (even though I love the way this is handled in Smallville)

regardless, i'll still watch smallville, it's a great show after all. The inconsistencies don't really bother me that much. I just wanted to point out that they are out there. Particularly if you take the show with a grain of salt.

Well, most of that stuff had to change to fuel the show, and make it accessible to a younger, newer audience. Sure, the Bart thing is weird. But he never said he was the first. And he used alias' of Wally West, Barry Allen, etc., so he might have taken those identities from them.

I still like this show.

...Smallville is a re-intepretation of the Superman mythos, it's not a true prequel at all, therfore it can do whatever it wants with the concepts.

It's not as if the comics hav'nt done that either, Superman was gay beyond beleif before the modern continunity revamp

Well said.
I'm glad Sam Jones is off the show, though.

Just my two cents. :)

Smallville "Commencment" (spoilers)
 

I just saw the trailer for the season four finale of Smallville, "Commencement2, given how great the last few episodes have been, I suspected this 90-minute feature would be full of great little revelations and character arcs

...The trailer alone apologised for the addition of Lois Lane in this season...

Smallville under bombardment

Lionel pparently dead

And, even better...

Clark...was in...the...Artic.

Clark...was in...the...Artic.

Clark...was in...the...Artic.

Clark...was in...the...Artic.

Does this NEED an explanation?

Yeah.. that was umm... like his base during the movies, right? I only saw parts of the movies.

The Fortress of Solitude is located in the arctic. This leads to one conclusion: Clark is getting closer to Superman.

The "Does This Need An Explanation?" line was actually a joke, almost every Superman fan on the planet knows where the Fourtress of Solitude is...

Well.. excuse me for not knowing what teh Fortress of Solitude is... I like Superman, but my only experience with Superman was the "Lois and Clark" tv series. The Fortress of Solitude means nothing to me, other than it being his base in the movies...which never really made sense to me.. guess I need to see the movies soon.

...And read the comics

...And watch the animated series...

The Foutress is'nt just exclusive to the movies, it's Supermans' artic refuge in almost EVERY aspect of the franchise

You also know that if Clark is closer to being Superman, that the shows almost over.

Anybody see Family Guy on Sunday??? Peter apperantly lived at the Fortress of Solitude for a while. Much to the annoyance of Superman (and apperantly the Justice League who was strangly having a meeting there... :lol: ).

Oh... WB announced their fall schedule today.... Season 5 of Smallville: The College Years (not the title...just what Im calling it :P) will be moved to Thursdays. :o

ACTUALLY his fortress of solitude is in mexico now.

Smallville Season 5 (spoilers)
 

From thewb.com:

Smallville continues to successfully explore the legacy of one of America's greatest cultural icons. With a rabid fanbase and 3 top-selling seasons on DVD, it's clear that Clark Kent's journey into manhood will keep on thrilling millions of young adult WB viewers.

For Clark (Tom Welling), now the most eligible bachelor in Kansas, it's hard hiding his extraordinary gifts behind farmboy flannel. Now he's off to college, enrolling close to his home (and sweetheart Lana), but still heeding the call of his Kryptonian destiny. Remaining true to the original mythology, Clark finds himself traveling great distances to unlock his true potential. Lex Luthor, meanwhile, continues battling for control of his father's company as he comes to realize his own destiny, one bent on power, destruction, and revenge.

The move to Thursdays also brings out some new competition - sitcoms (Joey and Will & Grace) on NBC, and ABC's Alias is moving to the same time slot. All of the networks have not yet announced their plans, so The O.C. and Survivor may also still be on Thursdays at 9 too.

“This season, we're making a bold statement on Thursday nights by moving one of our signature hits, Smallville to 8:00,” WB Entertainment President David Janollari said in a press release. “The show faced some of the toughest competition of any series on television this season, going up against Lost every week, yet it continued to deliver great ratings, ” he said.. “With the critically acclaimed drama Everwood moving into the 9:00 timeslot, we think Thursday will be one of the most compelling nights of the upcoming season. Led by Treat Williams, Everwood features one of the strongest ensemble casts and some of the best writing on television.”

Raph's Girl, could you please pay a little more attention to similar threads before you open a new one? It's unnecessary to have several threads about the same topic.

Uh... Commencement is about the Season 4 finale.... my post is about Season 5... 2 entirely different topics. *blinks*

Yep, but both threads are about Smallville and I really don't see any reason for TWO Smallville threads.

Looks like the Artic scenes were exactly what we were expecting them to be...

Fourtress Of F*cking Solitude!

Cliffhanger!!! :o

HA! I knew Jason wasn't dead...but how's he gonna get off the show since Jensen Ackles has a new series in the fall? :P

Memorable stuff and questions:

1. Lois' dream...she dreamed about Superman! :o
2. Lois and Clark talking about their future... and her not wanting to be a reporter cuz she'd end up across from well.. she described Clark *L*
3. The spaceship Lana sees in the end...either Zod or Brainiac.
4. Ok... Clark was transported to the arctic.... what happened to Lex and Chloe?!
5. Ok now how did Clark know he needed to throw the crystal??
6. Ok.... Dark Dr. Quinn is definatly dead...but I don't think Lionel is...at least not yet anyways.

Oh and Lex... just go out and say you want Lana and get it over with... yeesh.... :P
