Although thanks to JLU, John Stewart was my GL for a LONG time. I think the Timmverse did a great job of fleshing out his character.

I’d also love to see a training montage. JLA practice, time trials, sparring. I think it would be cool to see them experimenting/honing with their abilities.

As for what I want in the season…

I would like for the Zod / Kandor thing to be wrapped up this season so we can start fresh with the 10th. I would love for Lex to return to wrap up the series but if that doesn’t happen then I’m up for anything new.

The thought of returning to Smallville is a good one for an episode but not for a whole season. Taking a step back isn’t a smart thing to do in what could be the last season of the series.

I’m a pretty big Chloe fan but I’m ok with her leaving the show after season 9 if they are going to keep writing her as they have been this year. I’m also fine with Green Arrow leaving as well. He needs his own spin off anyway. Something to fill the void of Smallville when it leaves after season 10…

No Lana. We don’t need her to pop up and we don’t want her to. We need more Lois. Again… why would we want to take a step back?

Mostly I just want to see some of the folks from the past show up again is some form or another. Perry, Martha, JLA, JSA, Metallo, Lex, Kara, etc. A dream sequence or time travel thing with Jonathan Kent would be awesome as well.

All in all… I’m just looking for a good fun season like the last two we’ve had. I’m surprised that there has been so much life pumped into a ten year old show so late in the game but I am digging it.

As for returning to Smallville High, while I would not be so incredibly thrilled about that premise, I could see it as the vehicle to do a true throwback to the early days of SV – honoring the freak of the week episode. I believe Clark and if Chloe is still around will have been out of high school for 5 years so the excuse to have them walk the halls of the high school (hearing Steve singing in my head right now) again would be a 5 year class-like reunion. Yes, I can see a person from Clark and Chloe’s class infected by kryptonite wanting to exact revenge on all the classmates that did him/her wrong and sets up this little mini reunion to bring them all together and take of the offenders in one fell swoop.

As for what I want to see in Season 10 – FLIGHT!!!!! Of course that’s a given – a more “colorful” costume for Clark, glasses, more of Dr. Emil Hamilton and Martian Manhunter.

Clark as the Reporter where we see his first front page article published. The other half of Lane & Kent that Perry will boast about needs to get his butt in gear. Can’t let Lane get too far ahead :P.

And Woo, yes count me among the excited. I knew it would happen, but really I was just hoping that getting my tickets to Comic Con wasn’t an exercise in futility. Let’s hope Tom’s good experience last year will prompt him to be present this year.

These last two seasons have been so wonderful that it needs to go out on a TENTH season. Now can they please let Clark fly? At the very least I’m going to ask the producers at SDCC to STOP letting other people fly if Clark isn’t going to.

OH MY GOD! That’s even better than him killing Tess! Not that I want Chloe to die, she’s my second favorite character. I meant in the whole WOW factor. Actually I think if this were to happen it would be better if it happened in the 200th episode. Chloe has been such an important character and there will be so much going on in the season finale that just killing her off on a whimsy would not do her any justice.

Darkseid sends Clark traveling through alternate realities. Sure, it’s kinda been done before but how EPIC would that be?!

OR

Darkseid is the one who brings back Lex with his life creation powers. Why would he do this? Who the frick cares?! Let the writers figure it out.

Okay, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself but I’m super pumped now!
Season 10? Darkseid? BRING IT ON!

I know Batman is a no-go but now that the Wonder Woman movie idea went down the crapper can they bring her back for one epoisode? Pleeeeeeeeeease?

Steve! Derek! Be my guardian angels, make it happen!

Ooooooo, what do you think will happen in the 200th episode?!

What do I want to see in the 10th season?

I want to see Clark Kent as the star of the show. I think Season 9 has been an improvement in this regard. As much as I enjoyed parts of Season 8, there were times in the second half of the season where the story wasn’t revolving around Clark. That simply can’t happen anymore. “Disciple” is a great example of an Ollie centric episode that still showed Clark Kent as the hero with Zod. “Idol” is another great example of an episode that gave Lois a ton of screentime BUT revolved around Clark. He was still the center of the episode and everything revolved around him. This final season has to show us Clark’s POV as much as possible. His development and his relationships need to be the most important in order to conclude this journey right.

I love Justin Hartley and I love Ollie. But from this point forward, I want to see Ollie as a sidekick hero. I freaking love the guy. But he needs to remain a supporting character from here on out.

Lois Lane is arguably the second most important person in the Superman story. (The only one who probably comes close in importance is Lex and I’ll get to him in a second.) At the end of this season, Erica D. will have logged almost as many seasons with this show as Michael Rosenbaum. (Michael was absent from Seasons 8 and 9, Erica was absent from 1,2 and 3.) She has put her time in with this show and she has remained patient throughout the years while other characters have had their time n the spotlight. She was out there promoting the show when no one else was. At this stage in Clark’s journey, she deserves second billing on this show next year. Now, I don’t mean that as a slight towards Allison Mack. I respect Allison immensely and I respect the legacy that she’s built on this show. It really comes down to what is right for the plot of a Superman show. The leading lady of a show about Superman needs to be Lois Lane. Period. End of story. People that don’t agree with that probably need to find another superhero to invest their time in because this is NEVER going to change. I don’t care if it’s comics, movies, animated series or tv shows. Yes, this is “Smallvillle” but we’re in Superman territory now which means that Lois should be in 22 episodes and she deserves second billing after Clark.

I have always like Allison Mack. I havn’t cared for Chloe’s character for the past few seasons but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect Allison and what she’s brought to the show. But, I wouldn’t be sad if she didn’t come back next season. I think Chloe has served a role in Clark’s life but I think her role is done and it’s time for them both to grow up and move on. I would be open to Chloe being in a limited number of episodes for Season 10 as the friend/sidekick….but I don’t thinks he has a place in all 22 episodes. At this stage in the journey, the priority needs to be Clark. Allison Mack isn’t cheap. I’m sure it would cost a fortune to get her back and I just don’t know if that would be wise. The show needs that money to make sure that Clark’s journey can be given the attention it deserves in the final season. My hope is that we see Chloe sporadically throughout Season 10 but I don’t think she belongs as a series regular anymore. I know some people might be upset by that comment but that’s how I feel.

I’d like to see Michael R. come back for a limited number of episodes. I don’t think he needs to be there all season. But a limited number of episodes would be a great way to set -up his epic villian destiny with Clark, fill us in on where he’s been and allow him to take over Luthorcorp once and for all.

I’d like to see Cassidy Freeman back. I’d love to see her work with Lex. I think they would place nicely off each other.

I’d like to see Martha Kent and Perry White both make a few appearances throughout the season. I doubt the show could convince them to do a whole season but a few episodes might be feasible and would be very appropriate. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Michael Ironside back as General Lane for a few episodes.
It would also be great to see return appearances by the rest of the Justice League, J’onn Jones and Emil. There’s your supporting cast rotating in and out throughout the year.

I’d like to see the show focus on Clark’s career as as journalist, his relationship with Lois and his growing understanding and realization that he needs to come out of the shadows and show people his face. I’d like to see him show the audience that he’s pondering the idea of becoming a more public and visible hero among the people. If Clark remains the focus in all ways this show will end on a strong note. That’s just my humble opinion, though.

*in movie trailer guy voice* “DESTINY IS FINALLY FULFILLED!”

I want the following:

1. FLY ALREADY!

2. glasses…*fan girl squeal*

3. Lex and Perry as regulars

4. epic clois-ness

Kneel before Smallville!!!

Well with this announcement we all know what this means, Mr. Derek Russell returns to SHoE full-time. Kneel before Steve and Derek and SHoE!!!
