Smallville Picture Gallery: Episode 10.4 "Homecoming"

hope he gets that new leather outfit in this episode then you can change the title to "homocoming" :D

i see brainiac 5 got a loser ring on,maybe he should pass it to clark or has he got a loser ring already.

maybe he will finally keep the glasses this time. I foresee a scene when hes in the future and future lois tells him to put his glasses on.

@deadpool72
how is a red leather jacket gay when a cape, blue spandex and red underwear perfectly straight?

I know they won't do it but it would be amazing if they let Clark use the ring to travel to the future to help out the legion or something.

@deadpool if you don't shut you damn mouth im going to pin your IP address and then ban you from the site myself. better yet everytime you try to visit this site it will redirect you to the actual website you have been trying to get to, which is gay porn.

@ laffataffa

i can't see what the problem is,my comments are aimed at the show none of the users.

so your saying i can't comment on these articles,if you don't like my comments don't read them.

Marsters doesn't really look like Brainiac-5.

I hope if he wears that costume what Brandon Routh wears ? I will like to see him in it.

@Deadpool, you're right man I have to look at it from the other side...when the original Batman franchise emerged, I didn't like it, but I love the Nolvan version. Yet others prefer Burton's. We all have out own specific tastes. I was REALLY pissed off with the handling of Returns because I felt it was this unoriginal ass-kiss fest for Donner. It was such a waste of time and energy and I blame everyone at WB for what they did. I just seem Smallville as at least tryin to make an effort, and while it completely ignores 80% of the canon, it's a constant alternative to the ass-dragery of the WB movie industry. But I do respect that your so passionate about Superman. He's a great character and I don't think enough justice has ever been done with most of his incarnations.

and anyone else who got involved with that business.

youre right dude. prolly shoulda have commented that. but i really just found it laughable. this isnt a 'smallville fanclub' site. and it wasnt a 'comment if youre a smallville fan' article. deadpool or anyone for that matter should be able to voice their like or dislike for a show as much as they want.

i realize the beef was none of my business and i shoulda stayed out. all im saying is, as far as im concerned, deadpool should be able to say w/e the hell he wants, until this becomes a smallville appreciation site.

@ deadpool

well i must say, i might be defending you because supes is my favorite and im also very critical of smallville, but regardless of that, i dont think you should be threatened to be banned from the site. nonsense.

@ superman8

yes,i agree.

if my comments are that bad then the editor of the article can remove them.

we should be allowed "freedom of speech" but i do think i may of gone a bit over the top.

@deadpool72/- Nice dude lmfao, "HOMOCOMING." That will be good for the show that he gets help advice from BRaniac5. lets see, lets see.

One of the best episodes in the series is from Season 9, called "Checkmate"

The director of the episode GOT IT. This show is about superheroes and gave the episode a very comic book hero feel. Go watch it.

Best scene in the episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsPyMDZ0HsI

Also, a nice compilation of scenes from the episode:

@ laffataffa

it sounds to me you're trying to get me fired up about this show,i've said i'd calm it down but here goes just for you.

the three articles i really bash on is smallville, x-men first class & the length time dc entertainment are taking getting their main charactors on the big screen i.e batman,superman & the green lantern isn't enough.

so here are some reason why i dislike the show.

1.costumes-i've heard of dragging a story out but ten years to see clark in the trademark costume,we still don't know how much screen time we're actually gonna see him in the proper superman outfit,it could be a double episode it could be the last fifteen minutes.

2.why hasn't he got a secret identity-when clark went to work at the daily planet he put on his glasses became clark kent the reporter,then when something happens & superman is needed he changed & became superman.its not gonna take a genius to work out clark is superman with no secret identity.supergirl has one,but not clark.

3.flying-lois lane & supergirl both surpporting charactors & they both end up flying before the main charactor clark does.

4.mistreatment of other dc charactors-darkseid & doomsday should be saved for a big screen outing not toned down versions.lana & chloe both shit charactors made worst by giving them powers i.e chloe becoming brainiac & dr.fate.

5.lame stories & terrible acting.

6.special effects-not to bad for the budget,but do we have to see nearly all of the fights in slow motion all of the time,is it so they appear to be longer action scenes.

7. the sets-nearly all the main action happens in one street.

what would you rather see clark kent jumping around for for the best part of ten years with powers or superman in costume from day one flying & fighting villains.

i think i stick with superman the movie & superman 2 & wait for the reboot.

@ deadpool

preach brotha preach! i got your back bro!

@Deadpool...those are all valid points, and as an avid fan, here is the best defense I can muster:

1. The show operated on the principle that it would be free of costumes and flying (I'll spare their lame tagline). The only thing I can think of to make sense of this is that the show obviously far outlasted Warner Bros expectations, especially since the last movie bombed. They had to adjust to the elongated timeline when they probably only expected to go for 5 or 6 seasons. Plus, at one time they were saying he COULDN'T wear the costume because WB thought that would interfere with the movie franchise. Now I guess with all the fans clamoring for it they caved in. While I DO like the jacket, it DOES need a bit more color, and uniform pants too, I mean a jacket itself really isn't cutting it.

2. The secret identity-dude, it's lame in every incarnation, the idea that glasses would prevent people from identifying the most widely talked about/photographed being on the planet is insane, so I think that's kind of a moot point for the writers.

3. Fliying-I actually didn't realize Lois flew?! Was that when she was posessed by Zod's old lady? At any rate, Clark has flown a few times. He flew in the finale of season 1 when he was in the twister saving Lana, he flew when he had that dream about Lana (also in season 1) and he flew when he was reprogrammed as a Kryptonian. I myself was pissed off he hasn't mastered it yet but now I see the symbolism behind it and am okay with it. That's the final step (when he gets the costume).

4. Characters-I can only agree with you 50% here...Warner Bros screwed that up on their own by NOT making movies and when they finally did make that kiss ass Superman Returns they had NO villian apart from Luthor. I'm glad to get to see these guys in a live-action format regardless of the budgetary contraints cause at least they're trying. I didn't like the guy who played Zod tho...terrible story arc!

I DO agree about Lana and Chloe though. I liked Lana in the begining, but she became a bitch and a tramp after. Chloe annoyed the hell out of me, and they shoulda bumped her off YEARS ago!

5. Stories: They do the best they can with the budget they have and I like them. Tom Welling does a good job but Clark is a little wishy washy. They lost their way after his folks died and he graduated. Still, I'll take him over Routhe any day.

6. Budget-again best they can do.

7. Okay, they definately need another set, you're right there.

All in all, Smallville is what I grew up with. It's to me what the Superman movies prolly were to you.

@ thedurkinknight

thanks,for understanding my beef with the show.

i respect your opinions as well.

lois episode were she's flying is a up coming plot line in season 10,i think someone on here mentioned it was going to happen when she becomes Isis.

@ laffataffa

over in england,were a bit behind you guys.

were watching season 9,i agree with you its not all bad.

the best episodes i've seen are the justice society episodes that first showed us dr.fate,i actually think thats definetly the best costume i've seen on the show,oh i forgot to mention zatanna nice she should get her own show.

on writing editorial articles are they easy to put up & post.
