Your a douche you think these fine people care about what your write. You don’t really think they take you seriously LOL .your just a game to them they really don’t care what you say . So you wasted your time on something people will most likely forget later. Most likely you will come up with some stupid come back and I just come back with an even better one so dont waste your time I am out of here so to quote Steve glosson for my finaL words. Sir that is dumb you are dumb I am through. – The0racle

Yay for season 9!!

When ever someone says that you know they know nothing..lol
Do you write for the show?
haaaaaaaa
I actually said what i wanted to about the Chloe Lois thing..So why are you still talking about it?
Lois is not important to the story line of Smallville..Period..
We all know in the comics that she is the love of Clark K..But this is Smallville..Derrick..
No matter how many comic books you read..Or write for..
The writers made it very clear that Lana L is the greatest Love of CK’s Life!!
Sad but true!!

haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Why are people so upset?
hummmmmmmmmmm
People just can’t take an opinion..lol

Scott meet Fedrick..As you can see he is more to your liking…And what would you say about his opinion..Let me post it below..

Dear Nic.

Stop being an ignorant slut. Surely there will be lots of nude Chlois photoshops you can create friction to long after the show is over.

haaaaaaaaa
And i am the one wrong?
lol

Wow.

It must not be painful to be so ignorant… cause if it did I’m sure they would stop.

Again… wow.

And back on the original topic, yay for season 9. I hope we get more Justice League.

Stop being an ignorant slut. Surely there will be lots of nude Chlois photoshops you can create friction to long after the show is over.

Oh trust me, I know Al and Miles don’t run the show anymore, and I know who they left it to. I talk about this series on a weekly basis and have for almost 3 years now, in addition to writing for DC Comics if you remember correctly. I know the subject matter well, so this isn’t some half-hearted fan biased opinion. Simple fact.

Clark
Chloe
Lana
Doomsday
Lois
Jimmy
..So actually she is 5th Banana..lol

At least BigHonkin has something for his next soapbox, that is if you don’t want to take it Derek.

IT’S ALMAN4 EVERYBODY! ;)

Nic, do you have any idea how a television series works? Showrunners: People who “run” the show. Sorry, I usually don’t get into debates like this but it is a definitive case both with Al and Miles (the CREATORS of the series) and now Todd, Darren, Kelly, and Brian….Chloe no equal Lois, Chloe equal Chloe, Lois equal Lois.

I disagree..But i respect your opinion..
Yes Chloe is the best written character on the show..And a huge fan fav..
TPTB will never get rid of her because she has a huge fan base..And they know that.
As for the Lois lane debate we all know it can go on and on..I don’t hate the current Lois..
But as i said..You and i don’t know what the writers will come up with..Never rule anything out.It is TV after all….And as for what they say..Well they can say anything..How many times have we seen Clark and Land Break up?
Didn’t She leave only to return ..And i am sure she will come back yet again!
And anyways the front runners only know what the writers tell them..and from reading the script ..And stranger things have happened..
It ain’t over Yet..

As far as any ‘actual’ discussion going on in the mess above me, contracts: It’s undecided who won’t be returning at this point. Rumors are going around that Sam Witwer won’t be returning but if the recent Warner Bros contract negotiations are true, talent has to sign for two years…so Witwer would’ve had to sign for s8 and s9. No definitive word on that yet, however.

As for Chloe / Lois? Chloe will always be Chloe Sullivan, she was never intended to end up as Lois Lane. It’s been said time and time again by all the showrunners, past and present. For the Chloe fans that are just dying for her to be Lois however, tune into 8×17 ‘Hex’ for a great nod to a very devoted fanbase.

And yes, SHoE won’t return until “Infamous” airs in March. We’ll see you then! In the meantime, head on over to our forums for other great discussions!

haaaaaaaa How big of you!
Small Penis Logan?
No wonder you get worked up..
It was you who went off on me ..Sorry ?…you should be sorry..
Seems you can’t handle the heat..
engaging?
Please..I never set out to embarrass myself as you have done to yourself..i just made a comment you couldn’t take..haaaaaaaaa
Now where were we..
Yes we have Smallville for another season..
No Doomsday..his contract ends in 8th season..Yes Logan..That is a fact..
The TPTB might bring him back in S9..Who knows..
Not you for sure..haaaaaaaaaaa

Lol when one resort to name calling you know they are totally insecure and full of Cow dung!
haaaaaaaaaaaa

lol…Really you could have fooled me Logan..
So wait are you agreeing with me?
hummmmmmmm..

Maybe we’ll get to see more of the Phantom Zone too!

And, yeah I said they were up significantly, which is overstating it, so my bad on that, but, again, the ratings are up this year.

I am curious how I’m “missing the boat” though. I’m not sure he knows what that expression means. I love that he just writes FACT! after everything and thinks that somehow makes it true. For Pete’s sake, he basically restates exactly what I said as if somehow him wording it makes it okay. He says I’m ignorant, but never gives any instance of how I’m ignorant. Unless he means with the ratings thing. Which, he’s wrong, I’m positive that the show has had a pretty steady (albeit small) rise in ratings since the finale last year. Notice how he dodges the questions I ask? Really, it is just a simple Google search and having a rudimentary knowledge of how the ratings system works.

It premiered with about 4.3 and peaked at about 4.5, and has steadily fallen within those two numbers for every new episode save a few (by a few I mean three episodes, those had between 3.5 and 3.9). The repeats have all gotten in the 2-2.5 range. Now, last years finale landed in the 3.8 range (which is about the range for some of the lesser watched episodes this year). Last year there was a season high of 4.8 I think, I know it was close to 5, but the post-strike episodes all fell around the same numbers as the season finale. So, are ratings down? Yes, from their season high of last season and the averages of the earlier seasons, however, like I said, ratings for ALL TV have fallen since the strike. Since the strike and the last five episodes of last season though, Smallville has shown small gains. Yeah, a handful of episodes dropped, but the show bounced back from those and has consistently fallen around 4.3. That’s definitely UP from the end of last season. Finale’s usually post pretty big numbers, Smallville got 3.8, and like I said has steadilly gotten in the 4.3 range this year.

I keep repeating myself only in the hopes that somehow that makes you (Nic) understand it better.

Oh, and guess how many viewers the Season 1 finale got when it debuted?

If you said 3.8, well, you’d be dead on balls accurate. However Season one averaged 5.9, Season 2 averaged 6.3, Season 3 averaged 4.9, Season 4 averged 4.4, Season 5 averaged 4.7, Season 6 averaged 4.1, and Season 7 averaged 3.7. Wanna guess this season’s average so far? 4.2 buddy, the best since season 5. Granted we’ve got 8 episodes to go, so who knows where it’ll end up, but the show has held steady this year, so I doubt it’ll finish below the 4.1 mark, hell, it might finish close to 4.5.

Are the ratings down? Yup, from their highest point, most definitely, but they are up significantly from last year.

See, I did my homework and yours. So, kindly shut the hell up.

haaaaaaaaa

And, you know, if you were bringing valid points with well thought out arguments, I’d be more or less okay with it. (A La Woo’s post, a well thought out statement about hopes and fears for what may be the last season)

And, yeah, some of it is my opinion, but Chloe being Chloe and not Lois is a FACT. You want to see that, go write you’re own fanfic, otherwise, shut up about it. Eight years in and you still don’t get it. Being a “blueprint” is not the same thing as “being the character.” FACT! (Lionel’s death was strange? Really? I’ve been waiting on that since the pilot? Who didn’t know that Lex would eventually kill him? SuperLana? Not really strange, more like a “Huh, that’s different…” So, yeah, do go on…)

And how about me? Let’s see, loooongtime comics reader, with plenty o’ Superman books, so when they announced Smallville, what the hell do you think I did, ignore the show? I’ve been watching since day one, I’ve got tons of VHS tapes of the episodes because I would tape them since there were no DVDs when they started. As soon as the DVDs began hitting shelves (including the Canadian release that came well before the season sets) I started picking them up. I love this show, yeah I’ve been watching since day one, and had the brains about me to realize that, yeah Chloe was the “Lois” of the story, but that eventually he would move away from Smallville and meet the actual Lois (Didn’t happen in that order though, lol, gotta love the smallville twist on the mythos). Then, hey, they introduced the actual Lois, proving that, yeah Chloe wasn’t Lois.

But, you’re right, we won’t know what happens until the final episode, and if they make Chloe Lois, well, I’ll be shocked, and say “good on ya” to the writers, until then I’m going to watch every week to see the journey and not use the internet to bash the show. The ratings have taken a nose dive? That’s TV across the boards pal, it has nothing to do with quality. Quality does not equal ratings. Any TV watcher will tell you that. However, the show getting picked up for another season means that either A. The CW thinks they really have something left to give, B. The show’s sponsors aren’t running away in droves, and are probably happy with their exposure on the show, C. The ratings are good enough that they’d love for the show to come back (which actually is just an amalgamation of options A&B), or D. They’re plate is so empty that they’re willing to bring back whatever good shows they have to try and keep the network aflot (which, hey, is a very likely option). And, out of curiosity, do you know what the ratings for this year have been? Do you even know how the ratings system works?

Doubt it. Smallville and Supernatural have shown SIGNIFICANT increases in key demographics this year, occasionally even beating its opponents in those demographics. Takes nothing but a simple Google search (and an understanding of the Nielsen system) to find that out.

I’m pretty sure I’ve got at least a few more ideas than you.

If you people hating on the show don’t like it, then go watch something else, but stop complaining either way. Don’t gripe just to grip, eith make a well thought ou valid point, or just stop. B*tching and moaning makes you all look like children. This is the kind of thing that keeps me away from message boards/forums/et al.

Anyway, thanks for the good news Derek, I’m definitely excited to see where they go after this season.

Where the ****is arctic breath?

On the one hand I love to watch it because it’s Superman, the best superhero ever. On the other it’s just utterly painful to see the legend get crapped on.

Can we at least have a glimpse of the suite? Sketches of it?

I would have been fine if it ended this season…but I am still on board for more. Especially if they keep bringing in more DC Villians and Heroes. I am also ready for an entire season of Lois and Clark flirting. I am so ready for Erika to be back…though I did actually like the uber-tearjerking exit and end to the Clana. Now for a season of Clois!

I really REALLY hope they can get some of the old faces back at some point either later this season or next. They have to get Martha on at some point. And I really want to see Lex of course…and Kara…and more Justice League…and more Brainiac…more more more. And Lionel…who else am I missing?
