Smallville Season Five: “Superman in Training”
Written by Scott Collura
Wednesday, 07 September 2005
By the sound of it, Al Gough, executive producer and co-creator of Smallville, is having fun preparing the popular “Young Superman” show for its fifth season on The WB. Take the question I lob at him regarding the new Fortress of Solitude, which will become a fixture on the show this season – will it be snowy and icy like in the movies?
“Actually, we thought it would be a tropical paradise on the beach! Really hot Kryptonian barmaids will be serving Clark umbrella drinks,” laughs the producer.
Who can blame Gough for feeling good? Smallville has proven to be a solid hit since its debut in 2001, and now as the fifth season approaches its debut on September 29 (and the DVD set for season four streets next week) the show seems to be going as strong as ever. Clark Kent (Tom Welling) will continue to explore his Kryptonian heritage more and more, Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s James Marsters will have a recurring role as the classic Superman villain Brainiac, Metropolis becomes a bigger part of Clark and his friends’ lives… oh yeah, and there’s also that Fortress of Solitude – which Gough finally admits will not be in the tropics.
“We are definitely keying off the [look] of the movies. Obviously, from the last scene of [last year’s] finale, when Clark threw the crystal, the Fortress of Solitude is going to play a part in season five,” he says, while also pointing out that a standing set has been built for the Fortress, which will be seen on a regular basis from now on – a fact which begs the question of how the non-flying Clark will get to the North Pole from Kansas each week. “You have the cave, which acts in the finale as a sort of stargate to get him there. And he’s also got super-speed if he ever wants to stretch his legs!”
The Fortress will serve an overarching story purpose for Clark in addition to being a cool set to shoot on, though.
“I think you’ll see from how it works [that] it doesn’t have quite the point and click technology of the movie,” Gough laughs. “There’s a little more to it than that. It’ll obviously open revelations to him about his heritage and sort of his destiny, but in a way that isn’t just, ‘Put in the crystal and get a download.’ Rip a crystal – the poetry crystal!”
Another major change this season is that the kids will now be going to college, which means more stories set in the big city of Metropolis – the place where Superman will eventually make his home.
“Chloe is going to Met U, and we’ll be drawing Clark into more of those stories,” says Gough. “We’ll see more of the Daily Planet. And then the big question is who or what the hell is in that spaceship [from the finale last year]? But you’ll see that the breadth of storytelling that we can do will expand, as Clark is sort of taking on his mantle more and becomes Superman in training. And we’ve got a lot of fun guest stars lined up and a lot of cool mythology stuff planned as well.”
Marsters’ (best known and beloved by fans for his turn as Spike on Buffy and Angel) appearance as Brainiac isn’t the only familiar DC Comics character who will show up this season – though Gough is a bit cagey about revealing exactly who else we’ll be seeing.
“Lois is back. She’ll be back for – I think it was 13 episodes last year – it will be the same this year,” he says. “Other characters from the Superman mythology [will appear]. Some, like the Flash [from last year], will be other DC characters in their younger years who will cross paths with Clark and the gang, and then there will be other people from the actual Superman universe as well. Potentially you could see Perry White again, potentially you could see the Flash again.”
just a short newsflash here, from now on I'll be posting all things SMVL related at TRA. SO for further spoilers etc daily check out the link in my profile.
I have to disagree... s4 wasnt that great... he flew, yippee... the lana witch arc was one of the most stupid pieces of writing they've done since the show started...
it had its moments, but im really hoping s5 is alot better...
Braniac is not kryptonian, Braniac is the central information of Krypton. It is said that it was partly Braniac's reason that there arent more Kryptonians that evacuated, but that is in the cartoon and I'm not sure it it is totally true. Braniac is a form of AI who got away selfishly from Krypton before it exploded.
YES! SEASON 5! CANT WAIT, IM GETTING ITCHY!
BRANIAC IS IN THE SHIp AND NOT ZOD AND WHATS HER FACE, YES!!!!, I KNEW THEY WOULDNT BE IN THERE, Backflip to defeat them, pssssshhhhh!
OH, and Jedi Priestess, I love your resources You are soo awsome, Will you Marry me!?

Flash - YES
Krypto - YES
Mxypyxlyx - YES
Aquaman - YES
Braniac - YES
Zod - Mentionned in 5.01. probably appears later in season 5 (maybe the season cliffhanger)
Jimmy Olsen - Chloe mentionned that she lost her virginity to him.
-------------
Cameos id like to see:
Bruce Wayne - He just HAS to have a cameo soon, maybe as a rival to lex.
Wally West - Maybe he can appear as the nephew (as a child) of the other flash shown in season 4.
Ray Palmer - Would make a good cameo in an episode where he is researching minuturisation.
Darkseid - Maybe have a cameo. Would only appear if there is a season 6.
Hal Jordan - Maybe a young Hal Jordan could be shown where his father dies in the plane crash.
Kara-Zor-El - She was a child when her plannet was destroyed, so she could be shown in smallville.
CLARK doesn't Fly, But Kal El did (Which is him, but his alternate, the brain washed version of him.) So my theory is that he knows how to fly and has the capability to do it, but he is afraid (he is afraid of heights))
That was in Epesode one, he hasn't even talked about flying since, But there was one scene where it almost looked like he was flying, he jumped really far off a bridge and onto a moving truch which had Lois and LUcy inside.
That was THE MOST "RETARDED" Trailer EVER! He showed no trace of powers anywhere in that trailer, bleeding all over the place and what not, good greif!
hey you have my name im Nate hall remeber that name ill be famous one day and omg its coming im bouts to wet my pant s i have a few complaints if youre intrested ill tell you but the show is still great
