I can’t believe they left Smallville.
At least for us, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson have done some great episodes of Smallville. I wonder if this had anything to do with The CW though…

I can’t believe AlMiles are leaving Smallville… I read that this morning on K-Site and other places and not only am i sad to see them go, but i am still wondering about two things that i SHOULD wiat to say till later on after this news is known by most fans and not so talked about, but… what about the direction Season 8 will go? What about the ending they had planned? Will that still happen? And one more thing. Is it not true that the “no flights no tights” rule was signed by them only? What could this mean for Fall 2008-Spring 2009’s Season 8 of Smallville? We’ll see….

Oh, thanks Derek for posting. It always makes things seem a little better when you guys give the news.

I thought this was another April fools joke too. But apparently its all over the place. Too Bad… Now that I think about it, it may have something to do with the ‘no tights, no flights’ thing, or at least part of the issue. Clark needs to fly and in Smallville he’s getting awfully close to actually jumping into it. I mean in this season alone, how many people have flown around the skies of Smallville and Metropolis? And yet Clark is STILL earth-bound? I think that Al and Miles should stay around for the final season, even though I bet the CW is hot on them about making Clark fly. I hope there was some other reason why they decided this was the right thing to do but with what the fans are given, this is my best deduction.

((( I applaud Al and Miles for what they have accomplished with my favorite show )))

yep, makes me nervous too, but they’ve set the bible and the tone, hopefully that will hold. I note they specifically mention to thank the management of the WB not CW.

Are you freakin’ kiddin’ us? I had to do a double-take at the date to make sure this wasn’t another horrible April Fool’s joke. After 7 years of presenting this custom story of Clark Kent to Superman, at the precipice of the seventh season and heels of the eighth and final one, they decide to “give up the ghost” and leave?! Ugh… I agree with Blue5 - something else must be happening in the background that’s not being communicated to the masses. Why in the world would you leave your own vision at what could be considered the most opportune time to have it shine and empower the last 7 years’ activity and hard work? This news is the worst news Al and Miles could have delivered to Smallville fans. I wish them the best in their next venture, but this…well, let’s not sugar-coat it…this blows. I fear Season 8 will be an incredible debacle. I think (not to add more work to Steve and Derek) that all the SHoE listeners would really appreciate hearing what the guys think of this news.

…and if by some rare chance this is some type of late April Fool’s deal, you’d better close the Mississippi border. If I get in, Derek’s on a cruise for a bruise. Steve’s already in trouble - I’m within the state lines already. :)

It’s sad to see ‘em leave and all but I for one sure hell as hope that this means we’ll get to see a lot of clark flying next season.

WTF? Why are they leaving now? There must be some turmoil going on behind the scenes that we aren’t privy to. What scares me is that we may never see what Al and Miles’ vision for the conclusion of Smallville will be. Will “No Flights, No Tights” still be in effect?

well that sucks that they’re leaving, I hope that won’t effect the direction too much in where season 8 is going
