Smallville fans, you can finally resume breathing. The last few weeks have been a roller coaster due to the fact
the two creators left the show, because of
the departure of Michael Rosenbaum and the announcement that two new regulars would join and because of contract negotiations for Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack.
It was confirmed pretty early on that
Kreuk would only be a part-timer next season. However,
Mack's future with the show was up in the air. Actually, it was even talked that she would
not be returning because she couldn't reach an agreement with The CW show. The latter news was supported by the fact her name was omitted earlier this week in the
network's Upfront press release.

(S06E17) You know you're in for a very special
Smallville when it starts out with a WWF-style cage match, an extremely gratuitous shot of some very large boobs, and an all-out brawl between Clark and a Zoner who seems stronger than he is. It's like a Bizarro world version of the show starring everyone's favorite Kryptonian. Zowie.
Basically, it's
Fight Club meets
Smallville meets ... well,
Superheroes Gone Wild. Toss in Lois chomping at the bit for a story, and you've got half the makings of a regular old episode of
Lois & Clark, or is it just me? Although I don't remember Teri Hatcher donning red leather and claiming to be a wayward stripper from down the street who has a penchant for loving the ladies. Plus, did you catch the way Lois claimed she does a killer "Stars and Stripes" routine? Hello throwback to an old episode.

(S06E16) The wedding bells that have been ringing in the promos for this episode also sound like funeral bells ringing, is that a coincidence? We may never know. Anyhow, it's finally here, the Lex & Lana wedding that we've all been dreading/waiting for.
Did that scene of Lex and Lana watching the ultrasound creep anyone else out? It's scary to know what might come ripping out of that womb. I keep picturing that scene from Alien over and over in my head. I also hope that the photo Clark whipped out the window didn't end up decapitating someone in Malaysia. He really put some heat behind it.

(S06E02) Second show and already here we go with the gimmicks. Clark gets a cold -- a super-powered cold, but nevertheless ...
I know a lot a viewers were disappointed when Zod's conquest of Earth was thwarted in only one episode. I rather, prefer Lex to be Lex, but it's tough to buy the world returning to normal so soon -- even though Kal-el is spending his nights surreptitiously cleaning up Metropolis after "Dark Thursday." It's too soon for me to get excited over a comic relief episode filled with Kryptonian super-sneezes. Clark's fourth-wall-breaking quip to Chloe about putting the world in jeopardy "on an annual basis," was kind of cute though.
In
unintentional humor: Lex is kidnapped by a black-ops duo using massively corny walkie-talkie code:
the bear is hibernating. Over. Continue reading Smallville: Sneeze

Along with
other development
news this week, Sci Fi Channel is also reportedly planning a television series of the Ashton
Kutcher-with-facial-hair movie,
The Butterfly Effect. The movie was about a man who had the ability to travel
back and forth through time to change the future for himself and others, sometimes with disastrous results. The series
will follow Evan (Kutcher's character) in his trips through time to try and right the wrongs, hoping the next jump will
be his jump home. No, wait. That's
Quantum Leap and, yes, I totally ripped that off from
Family Guy.
There's also a sequel to
The Butterfly Effect that is planned for the big screen, starring Erica Durance
(
Smallville) and Eric Lively (
The L Word). No word yet on who will star in the series. NBC Universal
is going to produce.
