New DC Animated Titles Coming Soon!

June 28th, 2010 by Brian | 15 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 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 | 13 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?

Revisiting Old News

March 31st, 2010 by Brian | 29 Comments

This is a news post I made back at the end of October regarding who will die in Season 9 based from an interview that Kelly Souders gave to TV Guide. I think it is interesting to look back at this and see if there is anything we know now that we didn’t know then. Look at her quotes and the thing that stands out to me is the comment about people dying in the first 12 episodes. Is she referring to Pandora?  I will put the link up to the original post so you can read the comments and see what people were saying at the time this was posted.

Poll: The Kandorian Conundrum

March 30th, 2010 by Brian | 59 Comments

This poll is one that I think I am in the minority for.  When Chloe showed Oliver the stockpile of weapons that she bought using his money it was obvious that Ollie was a bit taken back. However he didn’t totally disagree. She feels that she is justified in being prepared for a world of super powered kandorians. Now that we know that Zod has his powers and that he knows how to give the rest of the Kandorians their power as well, we have to look back at that moment at the cargo container. I remember having the impressions from various things I read and listened to, that many believed Chloe was going a bit overboard. What do you think? I will go on record that I always thought that CHloe was right to be ready for an army of kryptonians. The characters on the show have a hard time controlling Clark when he goes rogue, how will they fair against a military unit from Krypton who now has all of Clarks powers?

Are Oliver and Chloe justified by stockpiling kryptonite weapons?
Yes, they need to be ready for the Kandorians
No, it should be up to Clark on how to handle the Kandorians
This is a job for Checkmate

Green Arrow Spin-Off – Would You Watch?

March 29th, 2010 by Brian | 16 Comments

The crew here at Starkville’s House of El is really looking forward to the return of Smallville this Friday with the all-new episode “Escape”. In an effort to get everyone excited (not that you need much encouragement) there will be many new posts this week leading up to the return of our favorite show.

I thought I would start off the week by addressing something that I have been thinking of for quite a while. Now that we have an announcement of a 10th season, which will by all indications be the last season of Smallville, I wonder if there is an audience and if there is room for a spin-off series from Smallville. Let me be clear here that there is not any news that you have missed or rumors floating around the Internet. this is simply my take on what might work if and what I would hope for if a spin-off was ever to be created.
