First Spoilers For Season 7
IF Magazine recently conducted an interview with Smallville co-creator Al Gough where he discussed Supergirl, and other things about season seven.
Click here if you wished to be spoiled!!! iF MAGAZINE: The original SUPERGIRL movie was derided by fans and is still ripped apart to this day. What do you think the key is to making the character work within the SMALLVILLE universe without carrying over the movie stigma?
ALFRED GOUGH: I think that the film was so long ago, and so forgettable, that most people have done just that. Our interest in Supergirl stems from her recent resurgence in comics especially the work done by our old pal Jeph Loeb.
iF: With Clark it’s a no flight, no tights rule. For Supergirl, she’s going to fly, but are you giving here the “no tights” rule too?
GOUGH: Kara will have flights, but no tights
iF: Will Supergirl be learning her powers like Clark did during the season or will she be more advanced when we meet her than Clark and serve as sort of a mirror to Clark’s evolution?
GOUGH: Kara will be more advanced, although there will be powers that Clark teaches her about and vice versa — perhaps Clark will even attempt “flying lessons.”
iF: Will we be seeing a Helen Slater cameo by any chance?
GOUGH: Our plan is to have Helen on the show sometime this season, although when, how and who she would play are still up in the air.
iF: Since Jeannot Szwarc helmed the original SUPERGIRL movie and has directed many SMALLVILLE episodes, any plans for having him direct the first episode of Supergirl’s appearance?
GOUGH: Jeannot, unfortunately, was all booked up on other shows by the time we got the official Season 7 pick-up, so he won’t be back this season.
iF: How will Bizarro fit into all of this and will the character have a season-long arc?
GOUGH: You are just gonna have to wait and see about Bizarro like everybody else, but I’ll tell you one thing, he won’t be completely vanquished in the season opener like Zod was.

iam so pumped for Kara i only wish Adrianne Palicki was returning as Kara, the only thing i do not like is the thing with Jimmy however iam hopeing it is like a little crush type thing, who knows maybe that is all it is only time will tell i heard we may get a Supergirl spinoff if all goes well i hope that comes to pass, Supergirl is just the volt sv needs i think.

I’m interested how they’re going to bring Kara into it….
Maybe Raya should have just been Kara, that would have made sense.

ok so i just think that it has to start happening with lois and clark. i mean i want it to. and as for people who want clark and lana or chloe to be together i mean i guess it could happen but why would it. i mean they r destined to be. and even if some of you think that they wont well answer me this how come they even brought lois on the show if she wasnt meant to be i mean just chloe would be fine. and if they arent goin to put them toghether then they should at least let them fall in love with eachother or have lois die cause thats the only way that they are gonna end that relationship they have goin with one another.
