EXECUTIVE PRODUCER KELLY SOUDERS:
"Premieres and finales are really like trying to get a movie off the ground. We did several different versions of the premieres, so [the story] was broken several times. And the crew again pulled off a megamovie for television!"

"This is Clark's last journey, so it's a pretty big thing to make that last step to putting the Superman persona into place. There'll be a lot of levity and a lot of fun this season, but there's also going to be some pretty monumental moments."

"We'd love to have Michael [Rosenbaum] back, there's no question about that. It's out there. We just love him and love his performance. But we also know that Lex Luthor goes on in history, and we really felt that whether he was a part of it or not, the Lex story needed to come back on some level for the final season."

"That kiss at the end of last season [between Lois and Clark] was a game changer, and when we pick up this season the game keeps changing—and it changes pretty rapidly in the first handful of episodes. Lois and Clark's relationship gets pushed down the field with some pretty big plays. I would be a very rabid viewer the first half of the season if that's what you're looking for—I wouldn't wait until the very end to tune in."

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN PETERSON:
"It's both ends of the spectrum. On one hand, he's stepping into the light and a lot more heroic, and on the other hand he's facing this huge villain in Darkseid. So it's this huge push and pull between the light and the dark."

"We did draw on some inspiration from different storylines [regarding Lex Luthor], the mythology that preexisted in the comics, taking a couple ideas here and there. Hopefully, it will be a really satisfying payoff to that character in this final season."

On Clark Flying: "Wow, I have to say, the number of times we get asked that question...You know what, we're still building the second half of the season, so we'll have to see where that goes."

When Smallville is done... people are gonna look back to determine what television gave us in the way of the comic book superhero... Smallville will be #1... until someone comes with something better... And that's not gonna be easy to do...

@ frankleegitnit

it should never been made,if you ain't gonna do something properly.

don't bother doing it at all.

deadpool72 I know you and LEEE777 are Smallville haters... that's ok... This show will be compared to shows like Adam West's Batman... that's what you guys like... Pow, Bang, Zip...

Admit it, Smallville raised the bar... it's not a $100 million dollar production... It's just better than everything that came before it... That's all...

In LEEEs defense, he does like the show he just has issue with most everything about the show. I've stopped trying to figure him out. The only thing that matters to me is that I like the show! I've been entertained by every episode (even the stinkers).

They snuck a superman show in... in television... slid it right across the board onto those who don't like comicbook stuff... It went over most peoples heads... Which was a brilliant strategy...

You have to remember... for a show like that to be a hit it has to appeal to more than just us... much more..

@ realsuperman

& this is what i said i like shows like lost,heroes,house & true blood.

yes i'm gutted that they didn't end like i would of liked.

but you hating those show doesn't bother me like me hating smallville bothers you.

i'm gonna still like them even if you don't.

as for deadpool,i like him his one of my personal favorites.

up with the likes of the hulk,sentry,nova,juggernaunt,thor & dr.doom.

but again its your opinion you can say what you like about those charactors.

as for no friends to talk to most my friends like smallville,lost,heroes,spider-man movies,x-men movies & so on.

they like them because they don't have the same comic knowledge as me.

so when they watch shows like smallville they except it,where i will pick out the faults with the show.
realsuperman
realsuperman - 9/24/2010, 2:55 PM
Well u must have a field day with the faults in them shows the thing is whatever u like don't matter 10 years and a real endin smallville will have and I c9update careless about what u like but if u wana discuss faults ill name u sum about them shows n I'm also sry deadpool got ruinwd in wolverine that bother u as well?
marvel72
marvel72 - 9/24/2010, 3:14 PM
yeah its shame how they ruined deadpool in that movie,but he wasn't the only charactor ruined it that movie.

thats why i'd rather a deadpool solo film didn't happen,it would only get f*cked up by fox.

it would be like they employed the smallville creative team.

as for lost & heroes,lost was good but they took to long to get to the point.

they found a hatch at the end of one season & it took another season to open it.

heroes biggest fault was the first season was great then it became the sylar show.

a bit quicker than smallville you know nine seasons to see him in costume or flying,dragged it out a bit.

you go & enjoy smallville as much as i enjoy ripping it.

I just finished the Smallville premiere. I have to say that I think it was kind of...crap compard to how season 9 ended. I was not happy. Tom Welling was so bad in this episode, I'm sick of how much the writers overestimate Chloe, the Lex clone was bad, and it was overall anti-climactic.
Celenco
Celenco - 9/24/2010, 7:48 PM
@gorgeousgeeks, I disagree, I actually like the clone. The actor was very sinister, you got the feeling that whenever we see Lex again, he will be a lot more evil and diabolical. The episode wasn't the greatest but it wasn't bad. The whole Chloe thing I agree with. They should kill her off already. I truly enjoyed the episode.

so how shit was the first episode of series 10. :D
gorgeousgeeks
gorgeousgeeks - 9/28/2010, 12:49 PM
@Celenco The actor wasn't bad. I don't mind that they Lex clones and not Lex. The clone's "evil" plan was completely ridiculous. "Choose Lois or the Daily Planet globe, because you're not fast enough to save both!" Oh please! That's the last, evil greatest thing you can come up with before you die? LAME!!!
