Finally... 'Smallville' is over.


And it was awesome. To me, no matter what the critics say, the last minutes of the series was emotional (yes, only the last minutes because the first 45+ was nothing but nonsense crap) and was a nice fit. Though, Clark doesn't get a full shot with the suit, unless its with some bad CGI effects. 

But despite the long wait and watching all the crap take place before the best moments kicked in, time turned back for and I was a kid again, getting all giddy and excited waiting for Clark Kent (Tom Welling) to become the greatest hero God's green earth will ever know: the one every hero aspires to be - Superman. I can't explain with words how much the final minutes of 'Smallville' was like, but I could definitely say that it was an EPIC and even better in a some ways than the final scenes of Brian Singer's Superman Returns (again except for the bad special effects and corny cliches). 

There's Jonathan Kent giving Clark his suit, Clark flying in the air for the first time and becoming Supes, and finally the iconic shirt rip that I've been wanting so see. Plus the greatest Lex Luthor of all time,  Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) was back for this finale. 

To top it all off,  the ending send chills down my spine that I have never felt since Richard Donner's first Superman film starring the late Christopher Reeve - thanks to that familiar 'Superman theme' as all these moments unveiled before my eyes. That tune never fails to capture the very essence of the whole franchise and the character itself.  It was magical. 

Thank you for the wonderful 10 years 'Smallville'. To all its creators, producers, directors, and cast... thank you for giving us a great show and and ending -  that despite all the bad moments, the nonsense and the ridiculous Supes CGI that ranks as one of the worst in TV history - couldn't have been any better for me. Thank you.

Smallville Finale Teaser - Will Clark Wear The Suit?

Just found this video off of Youtube and it looks like a teaser for the Smallville finale. Only 17 seconds, but it got me pretty excited about the ending of the 10-year superhero TV series. Why? Click on the play button and listen closely.



Familiar tune isn't it? 

With that said, I think that Tom Welling will wear the suit in the closing moments of the finale. While that might be a sucker because fans will only get to see the iconic red and blue tights in action for a couple of minutes (or seconds maybe), that's still a nice reward to all the loyal fans (including yours truly) of the show who stuck through its 10 season span.

How about you guys? Yay or Nay? Post your comments below or join the poll (top right hand corner of the site).

New Smallville Season 10 Poster Shows The Red and Blue

Smallville has been airing for almost 10 years now chronicling the life of a young Clark Kent before he became Superman. Love it or hate it, this show has contributed much to the Superman legacy and has withstood the test of time - budget cuts, changing networks, cast members leaving, and other things that we don't see on camera.

The show entered its 10th and final season and as much as they want to adhere with their famous "no-tights-no-flights" rule right from the beginning, it seems to me that it won't hold up for too long. Season 10 offered us glimpses of The Man of Tomorrow catching bullets and saving the day and even showed the costume at the end of this season's episode one. 

Now the show just got more exciting as a new teaser poster showed up courtesy of our friends from the Source:



Noticed anything? Oh hell yeah.

Smallville returns on CW on January 29th. 


P.S - Does anybody think that Brandon Routh is in the poster somewhere because of crappy photoshopping?

Smallville's Mera

10 years. That's how long Smallville has been going on in telling a young Clark Kent's journey before he becomes you know, the Big Blue Boy Scout - Superman. Yeah, its that damn long. It should've been ended 2 or 3 years ago, but hell, we're here in the 10th and final season. 

Just watched episode 9 titled "Patriot" and basically we see with some of Smallville's Justice League (Clark (Superman), Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), and Aquaman (Arthur Curry or A.C for short) )deal with the government and their Anti-Vigilante Registration act, lead by Col. Slade Wilson (aka Deathstroke).They government is basically hunting down vigilantes, both superpowered and non-powered, to be tortured and maybe killed.


But the hell with the story, I'm not making the entry for that.

Back to the Justice League. So we got Aquaman, but little did I know that his wife in the comics, Mera is actually showing up!  And boy did she show up. Only downside is, we get to see her hooked up with AC already without knowing how it all happened. But that's Smallville, you know. You get loopholes in the storyline as big as a zeppelin.

Anyway, there's this one particular scene where Lois (played by Erica Durance) goes to a Miami Water Park (which happens to be AC and Mera's hideout) to find our hero Clark. Then the ridiculously hot Mera (played by Elena Satine) shows up in skimpy clothes, wet and all...and what do we get? This:

That's 100%, A-grade primetime TV hotness right there (if you want the full Mera/Lois scene on Youtube, just click on the orange link). I wish the producers would insert more women and scenes like this one in the future episodes.We all love Smallville to get crazier.

And thank you Smallville for bringing Elena Satine (try googling her name) to our attention. She deserves to be Mary Jane in the next Spiderman movie.
