How Many Seasons Is Smallville Slated For?

Started by Jedi Priestess3 pages

Consider the source. 😂

It's contracted through 7 seasons, but many say this year it going to be the end.

.................................... 😐

Hopefully not. It would make sense cause they are really running out of ideas for the show. Cause i mean the 1st and second and most of the 3rd season was about people who were infected or w/e with the green metor that was good at 1st but then it got old but then not really.. beacue if you look at it now id rather watch it about the green metor instead of watching all these superhero ones...like in season 5 there was...3 other superheros on it..there good and everything but like come 3 superheros in one season thats just stupid

The meteor freaks got old fast, id rather have superpowered people we already know than cheap knockoffs every week.

Well i would to but the way they do the superhero ones is boring. Like that robot guy or w/e all he wanted was to see is gf and wouldnt stop crying about it. And the Angel girl was crying cause Clark was getting in the way of her killing the person who killed her mom...the only good superhero one was the Aqumaman cause he wasnt crying about anything expect for the fish but thats what he does haha. If they made the plotline better for the Superhero ones then it would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better then the metor freak ones

Hell no, the Aquaman episode was terrible, that and Thirst were the worst of the season.

😑 Um NO. Cyborg was very good, Fishstick boy sucked..

I think they could do it for more a few more seasons, but they're not doing enough different things. They need to get more characters involved and change things up a bit. They change things up a bit, but usually for one episode, and then everything's back to normal. Clark on the farm and everyone wondering about his secret. They need more spice and the show can go on longer.......

I do think it's cool they have The Green Arrow in a few of these episodes. He rocks........

well, other than introducing more characters, there is really not much they can do w/o screwing up how it ties with older superman. But then again, plots do just fall out of the sky.

also, in the original superman story, was there a meteor shower or did only clark fall. Also, where did everyone in the comic get their powers?

they should come up with a new chara. like i heard superman had a lover in college in the comics of course...she was a mermaid or something they should introduce her and totally make lana jealous i want her to be jealous cause like they never made her jealous of clark and some other guy...they mad clark jealous of her and jason!! they should make her jealous!! it would be killa haha jk jk but yeah it would be sweet i just want it to happen so much...and omg i saw a perview of the new season for it and they are introducing jimmy olson its gonna be sweet jimmy is so funny haha

Smallville’ will introduce big twists
By BILL RADFORD THE GAZETTE

It doesn’t look as if things are going to get any easier this year for young Clark Kent.

During the fifth season of TV’s “Smallville,” Clark’s adoptive dad, Jonathan, died. Clark also lost the love of his life, Lana Lang (Kristen Kreuk), pushing her away after deciding he could never tell her the truth about his alien origins and amazing powers. And his friendship with Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) fractured completely, with Lex and Lana becoming a couple.

Season six, beginning Sept. 28 on The CW, will follow “the lonely road of a hero, basically,” says Alfred Gough, an executive producer who along with Miles Millar created the show about the Superman-to-be. “It’s all going to come to bear on him this year.”

First, though, Clark (Tom Welling) needs to bust out of the Phantom Zone, where he was imprisoned in the final moments of last season. The season opener will show what it’s like inside the Phantom Zone, an other-dimensional prison for Kryptonian criminals created by Clark’s biological father, Jor-El.

Clark will escape, of course, but he won’t be the only one, Gough says. “Over the course of the season, they discover there are others who have gotten out that obviously have a bone to pick with Clark, since his father’s the one who put them there.”

At least Clark gets a new ally this season: Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow. The character, played by Justin Hartley, will appear in seven episodes, Gough says, and develop a relationship with Lois Lane (Erica Durance).

“What’s interesting about him is, like Batman, he has no superpowers. Obviously, he’s an incredible archer, but it’s all done sort of with gadgets and his own sort of wit.”

Oliver soon discovers that Clark isn’t exactly your average farm boy — which fits perfectly into Oliver’s plans.

“You discover what he’s really trying to do is find like-minded people with powers and sort of start a nascent Justice League,” Gough says.

Look for heroes from past seasons, including Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg, to show up as well.

Another figure from Superman mythology appears in the season opener. Aaron Ashmore plays aspiring Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, a recurring character who will provide a love interest for Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack).

“You have Lois with Oliver and Lana with Lex and Chloe with Jimmy, so Clark is definitely the odd man out,” Gough says.

Meanwhile, the gloves are off between Clark and Lex. “Clark’s eyes are kind of opened to him. The days when he would give him the benefit of a doubt are gone.”

Last year, “Smallville” moved from Wednesdays to Thursdays. Despite competition from such heavy-hitters as CBS’ “Survivor,” the ratings for “Smallville” rose.

“We were more than surprised,” Gough says. “We were shocked and relieved.”

This season, “Smallville” is on the same night but on a new network, The CW, which offers a mix of programs from the now-defunct WB and UPN. Gough says he was always confident “Smallville” would survive the transition to the new network.

When “Smallville” debuted on The WB in 2001, Clark was in high school and had a budding friendship with Lex. Now that Clark’s in college and he and Lex have become the enemies they were destined to become, how much longer can the show go on?

“This year and, God willing, next, and then I think that’s probably ultimately when we call it a day,” Gough says.

He’s not saying season seven would be the end for sure.

“We never say never,” Gough says. But every story has an ending, he says, “this one in particular, and we certainly don’t want to outlast our welcome.”

What's crazy is that Smallville has been prevalent my entire high school career. I remember back in the 8th grade when season 1 just started up, I was excited. I wasn't a fan of Superman particularly, but I was interested to see how it would be handled. That and I liked the idea of a hero without the crazy spandex. Something realistic, in a manner of speaking.

Clark, in the show, has always been a year older than me, and I guess it kind of made me feel a bit safer when entering a new school year. I could relate to what he was going through and such. It also allowed me to look forward to another great year.

Now with show reaching its end, I wonder where that will leave me. Smallville has become a bigger part of my life. It's what got my mother and I to start bonding again, it's what kept me entertained Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and, more recently, Thursdays. It's a great coming of age show, even though I have my reservations about the filler shows.

I know part of it sounds pretty lame, but it's pretty much true. Smallville has become a part of my life, and I'll miss it when it's gone.
