Smallville Exclusive Interview: Cassidy Freeman on Tess Mercer's Evolution

Smallville Exclusive Interview: Cassidy Freeman on Tess Mercer's Evolution

When Michael Rosenbaum left Smallville for hairier pastures, it created a void that needed to be filled in terms of Clark Kent's primary antagonist. The announcement of Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer seemed....odd, but as was revealed throughout the past season, Mercer was anything but a Lex wannabe. In this audio interview, Cassidy discusses the evolution of the character.

Blah blah blah, i cant believe im saying this but i don't care much for SMALLVILLE anymore! That weak A$$ end made me sick! Im like one of the die hards to this show, but after DOOMSDAY, Should've been the best! With this, yet another comic book thing's bent us all over, i give up! The worst finale ever!!! An War Zone an Wolvie have all been a huge let down!!! I thought it would end with crappy VENOM in SPIDEY 3 but no! Im lost for words when it comes to HOLLYWOOD now! Some of this stuff is as bad as the stuff you see on reruns of the 70's Superhero shows an movies! Damn it!

I just hope we get another WATCHMEN type quality film soon! Coz all they seem to be making on the big screen an small is crap! : (

right on LEEE it was the worst ending ever, considering they promised we would see Doomsday and Clark throw it down we got another 30 seconds of bollocks.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/20/2009, 1:34 PM
Yep i know theFACE @ I was actually 100% again'st DOOMIE on SMALLVILLE from the start but with all the cameos an stuff, it should've been the HUGEST episode, should've been a double episode! Yep what a let down!

An WTF is killing a character like JIMMY off instead of that um,,, should way say CHLOE, I know some of ya like her, which is cool, but for deff i thought she was going!

30 seconds of Bollox, i like that lol! : D

I agree with you leee about the way it ended last season. But they didnt show doomsday dieing, and clark was to bury him in the ground, if you remember the comics doomsday came from the ground, so maybe he will be back in the future to finish clark off, ya never know.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/20/2009, 2:32 PM
Mounted @ I never really saw it as the real DOOMSDAY anyway, an yeah, he'll be back! I just wish they waited an brought him to the Big screen 1st! Like he should, oh well lol.....

I thought last seasons finale was lack luster. Yet, I'm excited for season 9's premiere. I stated it before, I'm a Smallville fan. So shoot me.

Supermike if they still have the Hooked on Phonics program,you need it! By the by, do you even read comics? If you did I think you'd see the comparisons between Silver Surfer and Doomsday are pretty thin.

her character hasnt evolved in any way at all! she's definitely no lex either-nowhere near!!! smallvilles characters havent 'evolved' at all, even lex was handled badly-him and clark became enemies because clark lied and lex hooked up with la-YAWN-sorry but smallville is so boring and so disappointing i cant be bothered to go through it all again. The show has had some good episodes but season 6, 7 and 8 finished it for me. smallville should have been amazing instead it feels more like a wasted oppurtunity.

im just glad i bought seasons 1-6 on dvd last year rather than having watched it for 8 years because i would be gutted if i had wasted 8 years to be rewarded with the poor excuse doomsday was in the S8 finale!!! i just cant believe smallville gets a season 9 when it seems to constantly disappoint fans and great shows like prison break and my name is earl get cancelled!!!!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/20/2009, 3:42 PM
I know about Prison Break!

But my name is Earl!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I luv that show, thanx JOSH lol!

Well, i hope they do better @ Longbow!

LEE: i know, its the worst news ever, lol! fox wont pay for it to be made anymore (but they'll pay for those crappy special effects they used to f**k up deadpool?) cant believe that season 4 cliffhanger will never be resolved! and yeah, ur right there should be more great movies like Watchmen!!! still the best film iv seen this year (tho star trek comes close!)

i wish clark could have punched doomsday at least once-would that have been such a big deal, lol!?!

@spiderman 209...swweeeeet pic. I absolutely loved this show and must say what a let down the last couple of seasons. when i heard doomsday was going to be in this one, i was syked..what a let down. they should just do away with it now and start on something else...loved the aquaman idea but that didn't work out, Hopefully the new GL movie will start something up like a new GL series. Would love for flash to come back that show was awesome, the one in the 90's
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 6/20/2009, 5:30 PM

spideysweb: glad you bought it man! that bit was indeed a pain in the ass! just aim for the ones further away and dont take your finger off the shoot button-thats how i got through it, lol! i finished it a couple weeks ago, the last few levels deliver some great moments and some great plot twists! did you ever buy InFamous? Its one of the best games iv ever played! I upload pics by going to where you create a new article. Then, on the page where you write it there is a link saying "embed image management" - from there just follow the instructions and its pretty straightforward. Hope that helps!

Uh oh lol!!!! : D

Oh an JOSH @ I'd prefer a NEW MUTANTS tv show before a YOUNG AVENGERS tv show, though it would be well cool!!! Pity all MARVEL has friggin done in the last decade is a canceled BLADE show after 12 eps, and MUTANT X???? WTF MARVEL???? Wheres the MOON KNIGHT, X-FACTOR tv shows promised or that BROTHER VOODOO which might of been cool, heck even that SKRULL KILL CREW thing! Very unimpressed MARVEL, very bad!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/21/2009, 7:19 AM
Lol Tea @!

Oh an yeah, how about a ALIAS MAX tv series, now that would translate very well to television! ; )

Also Teabag had a good one! A WEREWOLF BY NIGHT tv show! Now that would be cool!

LEEE777 - 6/21/2009, 8:37 AM

SirJediFrank - 6/22/2009, 10:45 AM
i remember that Tess character saying to Clark in the lasts episodes: "I am talking about the end of civilization", regarding letting Doomsday be free, if Clark refused to kill him...
...Clark said: "It is not your fight" or something and she said: "Then you admit it is yours!"

... and THEN the season´s finale came up.. what a mayour let down.. very poor editing, it is OBVIOUS that the Chloe-Jimmy scene at the end was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay reshooted for additional footage once the series had green-light for a new season, because those scenes make absolutely no sense with the lame "action" scnes that were taking place... we never saw what Doomsday did to GArrow and the others.. Clark just found them on the floor along with Chloe, that was way hollow.

..At the end Chloe tells Clark: "The ohters are MISSING, we can look out for them from HERE(the "Watchtower")-- THAT WAS FALSE! Flash, GArrow and the super hero girl WERE THERE AT JIMMY´S FUNERAL!!

.. Again, poor editing, making no sense with the Final Product...
"Donna pushed the button in the last moment".. WTF?! all we saw was an explosion... are we suppose to understand that that means Doomsday is encaged somewhere??! And Clark had no scars after that 3-punch season climatic "battle".

Last, but not least: Must Tess has to have that damn PERFECT AND IMMACULATE haircut ALL the time??? Really? LOL!! :-]
