Just like what we predicted no lana=no big rating.most of fans don want to see another lois &clark story!

JB says:

From what I’m reading everyone is thrilled about the 8th season. However, from what I seen the 8th season is going to be horrible…I thought that the season opener was a huge disappointment. I can tell that the season is being written by TOTALLY different people. There were two good things about the season premier though.

1. Lana GONE!!! Was seriously getting tired of that teenage LOVE mess.

2. Clark manning up and seemingly realizing that he was sent here for more than being in love with Lana.

One thing that I DON’T like is that it always seems they have to put a woman into a show to counteract men. This “Tess” character that replaces Luthor doesn’t go well with me…..hoping that things will change in the future. But from the season opener I can see this being the LAST of the smallville seasons if it doesnt shape up REAL quick.

Biggysmith says:

My initial thoughts were she was a poor replacement for Lex but I think she should be given a chance. She might surprise. But probably won’t.

Things are a bit up in the air for season 8 right now, it could go either way.

JB:

Females have traditionally been added to shows for ratings. When Star Trek Voyager added “7 of 9″, they had the best ratings in a long time.

Back in the day, you could always tell when show was starting to lose it’s legs: They’d add a busty, hot looking woman to the cast.

I don’t mean to demean women, it just seems to be the pattern.

And JB: This IS the last season of Smallville. At least that’s what they’ve and we have been reporting for some time now.

Unless of course, by some miraculous fickle bit of fate, something they do with the show is a hit.

IE: In the comic, when Superman came up against Doomsday, they were ending the title because it had flat lined. But when readership increased by a factor of 10 I think it was, they scrapped their plans and brought the title back. I fear this might happen. Maybe that’s what will happen. Doomsday came through and cleaned house because he was a bad kryptonian weapon experiment.

I can see some of the heroes going down hard in the show, like they did in the comic.

I thought is was the most classic set of panels in the comic book, when supes first encountered Doomsy.

Doomsy slams him in the chest and he said something to the equivalent of : Is that the best you can do?

The next set of panels, we see supes flying backwards through the air, through large trees, houses and what not.

Now that was a great answer and a preview. All Doomsy wanted to do was kill everything. He was mad. Very mad at the world, as he was designed to be. (Or, they just instilled him with the emotions of a man who has to deal with the developing scenario of a divorce!)

I liked it quite a bit, some of the normal Smallville contrivances are ‘old’ but not worn old at least. Lois in particular, and the non-Lex but Lex-based person-in-charge. But I agree that giving time for a character to develop is important.

I’m easy to please, having Aquaman and Black Canary along with Green Arrow pretty much made this a shoe-in for a fun show for me… And totally liked the fact that Clark manned up even without powers, but hopefully the vulnerability and dying will reappear as moments of doubt or concern when he finds himself in dire straits. Psychologically having experienced it should come into play some I hope.

Patti says:

People, How can you judge a whole season by only 1 episode!
How about you all relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. Yes I will miss the Lex/Clark Dynamic, but the fact that Clark has finally moved on from Lana makes this season perfect already. It can only get better. For someone who doesn’t know the whole Superman Lore, Smallville has been 1 of my top 5 go to shows. I can’t imagine a Thursday night without it and will miss it when it’s gone.

busy says:

i liked how they changed lois’ look for the end scene, she looked very lois laneish

Biggysmith says:

we can extrapolate from this first ep how things will probably unfold. No doubt everyone will bitch and moan at how ‘good’ Smallville used to be but you’ll be sad when its gone.

The departure of Lex does give is one thing to look forward to: his glorious comeback at the end! I think having Lex gone for the season will make his eventual return all the better.

@Biggysmith

There is absolutely NO indication at this point that Michael Rosenbaum will be returning to the show this season. At all.

Patti: I like your take on the issue and it’s a great point. That for someone who doesn’t know the Superman lore, it’s a good show for you.

Biggysmith says:

Vic: Come on… short of Rosenbaum kicking the bucket I’m fairly certain he’ll be back, if only for the final finale, beit this season or beyond.

The production staff said no, he will not be back. Of course things could change.

One of the executive producers, Darren Swimmer, said “no Michael Rosenbaum at all this season. But to make up for it, they are introducing Samuel Witwer as Davis Bloome/Doomsday. ”

Trust me, I’d like to see Lex back too, but if we’re to believe what the producers are saying, then so be it.

Biggysmith says:

lets hope they’re using a little bit of disinformation. I would like to see Lex back too.

But if he ain’t he ain’t. Although I doubt they would have left the Lex story so open if they didn’t have a resolution in mind somewhere down the line.

Mandy says:

I can’t stand Lois. She ruins every scene. Chloe I can tolerate. Green Arrow doesn’t add much to the scene, but he can carry his scenes. The series definitely suffered without Lex and Lana. This series shouldn’t be called Smallville anymore.

Patti says:

Mandy, You’ll have to get past your feelings for Lois because she & Superman are destined to be together so she’s not going anywhere. And the Series isn’t called Smallville because of Lex & Lana, but because of Clark Kent who isn’t going anywhere either. I miss Lex also, but it was Michael’s choice to leave. Change is tough, but sometimes you can’t control it. I’m sure the writers would love for Lex to be around, but maybe for Clark’s growth, not having Lex on the show for a while will be a good thing. It will force him to grow and move on.

ifeanyi says:

well i think that the new season will be exciting cos i love the part of clark leaving the farm and going to the city for a new job and i hope he becomes the hero over there….

ifeanyi says:

and i love this season cos is going to be filled with excitement,and am waiting to know wht is going to happen to the relationship of clark n lana lang, clark n chloe n also clark n lois lane.

John "Kahless" Taylor says:

I’m hearing now that there may be a season 9 coming….WITHOUT LEX LUTHOR AGAIN!!! I suppose it’s going to be “the continuing story of the search for Lex”. CW, get a grip!

Patti says:

A season 9 would be terrific!
So far I’m really enjoying this season. Last Thursday’s episode was great. It was nice to see Oliver’s back story and how he became the Green Arrow. It was interesting how they connected him to Tess. The scene at the end between Oliver & Clark was good. Oliver was so right in his assesment of Clark. I think it was just what Clark needed to hear.

John "Kahless" Taylor says:

@Patti
I’m enjoying season 8 as well; but another season without Supes arch-enemy? Well, it’s just a rumor and if it’s true, maybe it will work. We’ll have to see.

shakib diriye says:

smallville is the best show alive and coming from me I’m saying if they take out smallville before it finishes people and a lot of people will strike for it to come back but more lois and Clark time should be added.

Patti says:

So far, this is the best season ever! I love Clark & Lois together. It is so nice to see a playful side of Clark after all the years of him pining over Lana. There is a definite maturity to him this year. I’m also liking the whole Oliver/Tess storyline. It’ll be interesting to see where the writiers go with that. In the last episode, I loved Oliver’s face when he saw Clark & Lois
at the jewelers. That was classic.

smallville needs a seson 9

smallville needs a seson 9

kitty says:

My friend said that tom welling is so hot he needs to be shritless alot in the seson, if they do a seson 9 she said he needs to be shritless in that also. i think they need to do a seson 10 if they can. the show is so great.

Dann says:

Im sorry but the new writers are really not as good as the previous ones. I just got done watching the episode that was shown on May 14th or today, its not making the least bit of sense. The are so many patches to be fixed, just on random episode Zod was mentioned and hinted that he would be back.?.? Doomsday just randomly disappeared at the end of the episode after clark did somthing with him. I no that clark threw him into a building and it exploded, then what? I see the clifhanger idea isnt working out to well for ya.

Lorna says:

Sorry but I’m not enjoying this series at all, to the extent that I have stopped watching it. Under normal circumstances this would be unheard of..I’ve loved Superman since I was a small child, and now I feel the programme has decided to move away from the original idea far too much. There are too many people with special gifts so how can Clark ever become the Number One?
When the first series began I absolutely loved it, it fitted completely with the way Clark would have lived, and developed.
The new writers should be fired, they don’t know what they are talking about.
