Re: [scifinoir2] Season 7 of ‘Smallville’ could be last
Glad to hear it's finally ending. It jumped the shark awhile back to my mind: the continued Kryptonian relics in Smallville, Lana/Clark/Lex love triangle, the introduction of a whole bunch of people who shouldn't be in the picture (Lois Lane, Perry White, Oliver Queen, possibly Bruce Wayne), killing Johnathan Kent--it's been too much. I'd love to see Clark finally leave for those Lost Years of journeying around the world. -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor) [EMAIL PROTECTED] tâs been a busy year for Smallville. Lois Lane (Erica Durance) hooked up with the Green Arrow (Justin Hartely), Clark (Tom Welling) helped form the Justice League, and Lana Lang (Kristen Kreuk) married the villain of the story who also happens to have a secret agenda of his own for their union. And according to Michael Rosenbaum, who plays the twisted Lex Luthor on the series, itâs only going to get bigger. In an interview with JewReview, the actor confirmed that the seventh season (due on The CW this fall) will not only be the last season for the series, but it also will finally allow Lex to show his true face as the villain he was destined to become. âThat will be my final year,â said Rosenbaum. âThen I can hopefully delve into more comedies. For me, itâs great work and I think the show is getting intense as we go; Lex is inevitably getting darker, and next year is when he lets all his colors show.â Rosenbaum was also enthusiastic about what he knows of the seventh season, hinting that it will be the âbiggest year of all.â âSmallvilleâ is now in a position that is rare to find on TV these days, whereby the show actually knows its coming to an end rather than being axed by the network. This means the series will be able to plan for a grand finale and ensure all the characters get the send-off they deserve. So whatâs the secret, why has âSmallvilleâ lasted so long? As far as Rosenbaum is concerned, itâs all down to the audience. âThe ratings are consistently high,â he said. âItâs great when youâre on a show that has that longevity, but itâs even better when a showâs ratings are so high; our showâs ratings are just as high as the first couple seasons.

In the early years of the series, the actor said he struggled a little to keep the character of Lex Luthor confined to the series without him spilling over into his own life. But given time, keeping the two apart became easier. âI was a little nervous in the first year, I was trying to find the character,â he said. âYou want to please the audience, but you want to bring some humility to the character; I donât want him to be a cartoon. I try to make every character I do, and thatâs who he is â as long as you stay in that box.

Re: [scifinoir2] Season 7 of �Smallville could be last
Bruce Wayne hasn't shown up, but they've been talking about him making an appearance. I'm not surprised it's popular in Mexico. It's not a *bad* show, just one that's run a lot of plotlines into the ground. I really feel the loss of Johnathan Kent. I guess they wanted to bring the show in line with the (mistaken) plot of the films, where Johnathan is dead. The old WB used to show old eps on Sunday evenings, but don't think it's done so since the advent of the CW network. Here in Atlanta, reruns of the show are aired around 2 am on the local ABC affiliate. -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
