Clark Will Finally Fly In Smallville Season 8

Clark Will Finally Fly In Smallville Season 8

Fans of Smallville have long been frustrated by the “no flights” portion of producers Al Gough and Miles Millar “no flights, no tights” policy established 7 years ago at the start of the first season. As a matter of fact, as the series has evolved, the fact that Clark (Tom Welling) still does not fly on the show has become pretty ridiculous.

Many other characters on the show have had the ability to fly, including Clark’s cousin Kara (Laura Vandervoort) and other Kryptonians. On top of that, portraying Clark, who is virtually indestructible as having a fear of heights is at this point ridiculous - especially as we enter Smallville’s 8th (and supposedly final) season.

Knight Rider In NASCAR Race Saturday Night

In case you wonder where I am when I’m not pestering you here on Screen Rant, I keep myself busy blogging about NASCAR. It’s always easy to figure out where I’ll be. If I’m not at the track, I’m glued in front of my TV watching auto racing, specifically, NASCAR. then Sci-Fi, then action movies, then… well you get it.

I’ve been feebly trying to sneak a NASCAR post in here from since, well, forever. I finally get to talk about it here on Screen Rant! Vic is letting me because I am sneaking it in under the umbrella of TV news. HA HA!

Eleventh Hour From CBS: An Expensive Gamble?

Eleventh Hour From CBS: An Expensive Gamble?

Eleventh Hour is an adaptation of a British mini-series that starred Star Trek The Next Generation’s Patrick Stewart and comes to us from producer Jerry Bruckheimer.  It follows Dr. Jacob Hood (played by Rufus Sewell), a biophysicist and special science adviser to the government.  His job is to investigate scientific crises and oddities.  (Sniff, sniff… do I smell an X-Files fragrance in the air?)

He’s like a dog on a bone when he pursues those who abuse scientific breakthroughs for their own gain and usually, when he’s called in, it’s at the last minute (The Eleventh Hour) when things go wrong and there’s no other option.  (Like Mulder, but with some umph?)

NBC’s New Action Hope: My Own Worst Enemy

NBC's New Action Hope:  My Own Worst Enemy

My Own Worst Enemy is about a man. Actually two men–well, one man, two personalities, er, well, you’ll see.

Christian Slater plays a man plagued by an interesting problem: by day he’s Henry Spivey, an efficiency expert who lives in the suburbs with a wife (Yara Martinez) and the obligatory 2 children and a dog. His other personality is that of Edward Albright, a super-spy operative of the Janus Headquarters who speaks 9 languages, can run a 4 minute mile and is a trained killer.

The division between the two alter egos starts to break down when a chip implant in his brain malfunctions. The two different personalities start finding themselves fighting for control of the one body they inhabit.

What Is True Blood From HBO?

What Is True Blood From HBO?

About True Blood from HBO:

Using a viral campaign aimed at many blog owners, True Blood on HBO was looking for some exposure via curiosity as they engaged the different web site owners with mystery envelopes and encrypted letters.

The show is based on a book series by Charlaine Harris, called Southern Vampire Mysteries. It takes an interesting twist on the idea of humans and vampires co-habitating in a small Louisiana town after the vampires have discovered a Japanese-made synthetic blood called TruBlood.  This moves the vamps from predators to “fellow citizens.”

This obvious scenario creates an amount of tension that can be taken advantage of if done well.  With religious leaders and world governments having chosen their sides, the jury is still out in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps.

The WB Tries To Make A Comeback

The WB Tries To Make A Comeback

Yeah, I did say The WB.

Some of you have repeatedly said in commentary or email communications with me that you’re tired of network TV and it just doesn’t appeal to you.  I don’t blame you.

As of August 27th, The WB is trying to give you more options beside advertiser controlled TV.

TheWB.com website is officially launching on the 27th of August.  From the offered line up of web-casts, The WB is looking like it’s hoping to snag the viewers who used to watch The WB network on TV before it got absorbed into The CW because some of the offerings are old familiar, popular shows.
