Question for the masses

Ok SHoEligans, I thought it would be fun to have a little contest of sorts. I posed this question on twitter this morning and most people were torn on what they would choose. Choose what you ask? Here’s the setup, you have to pick one episode of Smallville s1-s9 that you may watch as many times as you wish. However you will not be able to watch any other episode ever. What will you choose, how will you base your choice?

Next Wednesday i will tally up all of the episodes left in the comments section and update this post with a ranking. You are only allowed to vote once. If you wish to explain why you chose an episode that is fine, but lets try to keep these posts short.

I think this will be a lot of fun and I am interested to see not only what episodes are chosen, but why they were chosen.

Have fun, and remember to be excellent to one another.

New DC Animated Titles Coming Soon!

June 28th, 2010 by Brian | 16 Comments

apocalypse-DVDDC has done a fantastic job with their direct-to-DVD movies in recent years and the next  two releases look to continue that successful run. There have been some misses along the way, Green Lantern: First Flight and Wonder Woman did not achieve the level of success that I’m sure DC was hoping for. However New Frontier, Crisis on Two Earths, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies were very successful in the eyes of DC.  The next two animated films have me very excited mainly because the stories that they are based on are some of my favorites.

Superman vs. Zod Part 2

May 13th, 2010 by Brian | 2 Comments

zod2Much like Brian said in his last post, with the big finale tomorrow night, we thought it would be neat to look at some of the greatest battles between Superman and Zod in the comics. While Brian wanted to look at a less recent battle between Zod and Superman, I figured it would be better to take a look at a more recent conflict between these two, but first some context for those who haven’t read World of New Krypton, the most recent story arc that has woven its plots all over the Superman family of books for the past year and a half or so.

Superman vs. Zod Part 1

I expect we are going to get a nice battle between Zod and Clark in the finale tomorrow, so William and I thought it would be nice to spotlight a few memorable battles between the foes over the years. These stories take place in the comics, I think it would be somewhat insulting to rehash the fight between the two from Superman II. I’m pretty sure everyone who visits this site has seen that movie and that representation of Zod is pretty clear.  With that being said lets get into the minutia of multiple universes, artificial life forms, and MURDER!

Preview Clip: Sacrifice

The season is drawing to an end and here is a short clip from this week’s episode “Sacrifice”. Green Arrow and Zod meet to exchange some words and I can only imagine that this conversation will get heated before it’s over. Enjoy the clip!

SHoE Files: Silver Banshee

April 12th, 2010 by Brian | 6 Comments

Long overdue but not forgotten, I have another SF for you. The Silver Banshee was shown on Episode 9×16 “Escape”. Judging from the fan reactions that I have have seen this episode will not go down as one of the most memorable episodes in Smallville’s history, but I will say that the Silver Banshee was done well for live television. A mystical being from the underworld who bears a curse devoted to the killing of men isn’t always easy to pull off. But lets steer clear of the merits and/or gripes with the episode itself and lets look at the history of the Silver Banshee.

Poll: Opening Credits

April 1st, 2010 by Brian | 14 Comments

With what seems to be the final season of Smallville around the corner and the different tone the show has taken on in the past two seasons, is it time for a new theme? I am a very nostalgic guy and I don’t know if I want the theme changed. However, getting a majestic theme for this series’ final season could be very exciting.

What say you, loyal SHoE-ligans?
