(Season 8, Episode 13, “Power”)

Last week, I pondered what was Lana’s endgame. One of my theories was that she wanted to destroy Lex and his empire from within, and that she may be working with Oliver. Some of you left comments saying that maybe she was working with Martha Kent or even Lionel Luthor, or that Lana was pregnant and fled to hid her pregnancy and deliver the baby, while others wondered what Imra/Saturn Girl meant when she said that in the future Lana would be well-known.

Well this week’s installment of Smallville gave us a lot of answers and left us with a Lana 3.0 who deems herself to now be Clark’s equal! Why is it that everytime Lana is concerned, the show jumps a shark? Read the rest of this entry »

(Season 3, Episode 3 – “Electric Kiss”)

This week’s episode of Kyle XY, reminded me of how I felt towards the character of Will Tippin (played by Bradley Cooper) during the first two seasons of ABC’s Alias. In short: I hated Will and wanted him gone from the show asap. Why? Because he kept putting Sydney Bristow in danger with his researches and constant questions. It wasn’t totally Will’s fault since he didn’t know Sydney’s secret but as a viewer of the show, the Will character was getting really annoying because he wasn’t in the loop and didn’t fully understand Sydney. Eventually, fans like me bombarded bulletin boards with messages explaining why Will needed to exit the show. Thankfully, Alias’s creators decided to have Will discover the whole truth, which had fans change their minds about the character and actually embrace him.

How does this relate to Kyle XY? Well, I hate Amanda and want her gone from the show asap. Why? Because with her not being in the loop, it hurts Kyle and makes her sound like a brat. It also puts Kyle and Jessi in jeopardy at times as she doesn’t know why they are doing certain things; thus, she can crash their master plan of the week without knowing it.

(Season 8, Episode 12, “Bulletproof”)

It’s no secret — I hate Lana Lang. Well, to be more precise, I hate the Smallville version of Lana Lang and have since the first episode ever of the series. Over the years, I’ve learned to tolerate the character. Imagine my joy when it was confirmed last year that Kristin Kreuk wasn’t returning to the series! Sadly, my “Lana Lang is gone” party was cut short when the network announced the actress would appear in a few episodes of season eight.

Since her reappearance in episode 8.10, we haven’t learned much about what Lana has been up to between the season seven finale and episode “Bride.” However, this week’s “Bulletproof” started to pave the way for some revelations set to unfold in next week’s episode. Until then, let’s compile what we learned about Lana 2.0 and make a few predictions, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, yeah, I know, there have been countless articles and posts about potential Smallville spinoffs over the years. There were talks of spinoffs for Supergirl, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and the Flash. The CW series also had the TV powers that be even ponder shows about a young Dick Grayson and other comic superheroes due to Smallville’s success.

Rumors of Smallville spinoffs have died down lately, but in the light of last week’s episode, “Legion,” maybe it’s time to revive them a bit, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

(Season 8, Episode 11, “Legion”)

My favorite Smallville episodes are those filled with Superman mythology. So it’s without surprise that I enjoyed “Legion” even if my least favorite character — Lana — was a major part of the episode.

Thanks to Legion of Superheroes members Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, we were given a glimpse as to what Clark Kent’s future will entail. Yeah, yeah, I know, we already know about it thanks to the comics, the movies, the animated series and the other TV series. But let’s face it, Smallville already messed up a lot of Superman’s mythology, so why not decide to have him end up with Lana instead of Lois while we are at it?
