Interesting review...

Smallville - "Reckoning"
Contributed by Cindy White
Wednesday, 25 January 2006

At the beginning of this season of Smallville, Clark (Tom Welling) was told that the consequences of breaking his word to his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, would be the death of someone he loves. Now, that promise comes to fruition in the show's landmark 100th episode, but not necessarily in the way you might think.

First of all, it must be said that this episode is particularly difficult to talk about without giving too much away, so this review will forego the usual detailed plot description. What can be said about the story without revealing any major spoilers is that it takes place on election day, as Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) anxiously await the results of their senatorial race. It's also a big day for Clark, who feels Lana (Kristin Kreuk) pulling away from him and knows that he must make some big decisions about their relationship if he wants it to continue. From there, the episode takes some major twists and turns until finally concluding on a melancholy note.

As a milestone episode, this one certainly lives up to its billing. Everything is heightened, from the emotional narrative to the feature quality look of the photography. As an actor, Welling has come a long way from the first season. The episode puts Clark on an emotional rollercoaster, and Welling hits every high and low with precision. The rest of the cast turns in strong performances as well, with the exception of Kreuk, who has yet to come in to her own as Lana.

Longtime fans of the Superman comics and films may be furrowing their brows for much of the episode. While the show's writing staff has been given some freedom in creating a back story that hasn't been seen before, there is still a framework within which they have had to work to avoid conflict with the stories that have already been told. Over the course of four and a half seasons, they've demonstrated a penchant for tweaking the mythology to suit the purposes of the show (e.g. bringing in characters like Perry White and Lois Lane) without changing the basic canon elements. "Reckoning" takes a different tack, however, and reminds the audience that in the world of Superman, anything can happen.

Just when it seems that the writers are taking bold strides, however, they pull the rug out from under the viewer. This contrived turn of events sets up the ultimate pathos for Clark and leads to a final, drawn-out sequence that's well acted and directed but feels a bit manipulative. Still, "Reckoning" is an important episode for the series and the characters. From here on out, nothing will ever be the same in Smallville again. B

That review kinda sucks...she didnt even mention the fact that clark tells lana his secret when everybody has already seen the trailers for the eppy not to mention its all over the net. Its not even considered a "spoiler" anymore.

^ that worries me. time travel anyone? =(

[Mike_D202]

I figured that at the end of Superman: the movie he didnt even know he could turn back time and tried anyways, like a "didnt even know i had it in me" moment. I dont think time travel is an element, but I DO think Johnathon dies from a heart attack.

I don't think that makes it a bad review, the reviewer was being kind and trying to be careful not to spoil anyone. It was a really good review in my opinion, and certainly fair., and it praised the show and the acting. It made me look forward to the show even more.

[Mike_D202]

Well, it wasnt a bad review, just didnt give us anything new I suppose.

I'm with you Melly.

And I think the contrived ending, whatever it may be, is possibly sci-fi in nature and probably why the reviewer raised her eyes about it. Or it could be a little rushed, given that it only runs for 42 minutes, it was something that I was expecting anyway.

[Mike_D202]

oh well, 1 more day :D

[avidreader]

From TV Guide's Ausiello Column:

Question: The video clip that was released early this week of Smallville's 100th episode reveals that Lana is in a car accident. And WB has already confirmed that "a fatal car accident takes the life of someone Clark loves." Did they just decide to give it all away before Thursday's episode? — Emily

Ausiello: You're not getting anything out of me… except this: Watch the episode because it's one of the best hours of TV this season — and I'm not even a big Smallville fan.

[rumpuso]

Oh my! That just makes me so excited!!

[Mike_D202]

I'm definately gonna be recording this eppy.

[Spaceballs]

I wonder how the NON die hard fans will feel when they keep hearing that someone DIES in THE Car Accitdent yet everything is pointing to her being revived :p I dont like this false advertising :down

[avidreader]

Do you think they're gonna say, well Lana dies in a car accident, but Clark is able to bring her back to life?

They got have something up their sleeves, and this show is about a super being from another planet.

[musclesforsupes]

This scares me that either Lana, Lois, or Ma will die. If they do I will be angry :D

[AgentPat]

The parts that have me jazzed are:

"Everything is heightened, from the emotional narrative to the feature quality look of the photography."

Narrative? Do they do something like they did in Thirst? That would be cool. The narrative part, not the vampires. LOL! ;)

And feature quality photography? I wonder if they used different cameras for this ep?

"The episode puts Clark on an emotional rollercoaster, and Welling hits every high and low with precision."

Jeeze, need I explain why THAT comment has me psyched?

"'Reckoning' takes a different tack, however, and reminds the audience that in the world of Superman, anything can happen."

Anything can happen? Bring it on! LOL

"Reckoning' is an important episode for the series and the characters. From here on out, nothing will ever be the same in Smallville again."

I keep wondering WHAT is going to be so different? Jonathan dies and Clark has to become the man of the house. Okay. Lex SEES Clark use his abilities and the friendship - what's left of it - will truly be OVER! Okay. Lana and Chloe will be... well... probably the same, except Lana will be in on Clark's secret now too. (Please don't let her forget - I will be PISSED if they undo that). And it remains to be seen if Lionel makes it out of the episode alive.

I can see how all of this *sort* of changes the dynamic (LOL), but I'm not seeing how HUGE it will be, based on what people have been saying.

Well, one more day to go! It will be fun reading back through this thread on Friday. ;)

[avidreader]

You know I wondered about that. But then I thought maybe its just a term that reviewers/writers use to describe the sequence of events.

LOL! I didn't count the episodes, but I read them all. And I always thought "Skinwalker" was a pluralized title ("Skinwalkers")? Hmph. Ya learn something new every day.

Notice how the bottom of the "S" is cut off, leaving room for the titles of the remaining 10 episodes. At the end of this season, the "S" (\S/?) will be complete.

Hmmm... Something to think about. http://www.patcostello.com/smileys/ponder.gif

once the "S" is complete, hopefully we'll get enough new episodes to comeplete "uperman"

I like that theory as well. Smallville is 'done' after this season, and next season we get the official start of the \S/.

PS...Answer my PM! :)

[AgentPat]

I like that theory as well. Smallville is 'done' after this season, and next season we get the official start of the \S/.Y'know, with this new merger deal in process, it being the end of the 5th season, and the cast contract situation being what it is, I'm not ruling out ANYTHING at this point.

Yeah, I can see it already. Clark concludes that it's too dangerous for her to know his secret (seeing the pressure Lex exerted on her and how she got "killed"), thus she gets mindwiped somehow. :mad:

I don't know about that but I don't think they will. Mostly because I think the memory wipe thing has been a crutch they've used once too often on Smallville and they know that.

I really hope they don't resort to that, so I will be bitterly disappointed and angry if they do.

:mad:

[rumpuso]

I know Triplet. Me too. I pray they don't go the memory wipe angle. Something tells me this episode will NOT disappoint. I think they are ready to move into a new phase of this show.

[Serene]

It also goes with Lana and Lex.

Good point!
But I can't see them doing a long musical interlude with Lana and Lex. There's only so much time in the show, and it makes more sense for them to do the Clana scene and the funeral scene.

I need to see this damn ep NOW, so my head will stop spinning about it.

[Super_Ludacris]

The whole point of this episode is Lana has to know!!!! and for god sake push the character foward!!!

Yeah, but they may only use a few lines, which they often do.

[NHawk19]

[triplet]

I know Triplet. Me too. I pray they don't go the memory wipe angle. Something tells me this episode will NOT disappoint. I think they are ready to move into a new phase of this show.

I think the terms they've use to describe the episode, like it will be a different show from now on etc, leads me to think that they won't resort to that....

I mean, Clark's been hiding himself from Lana all this time and that has been a major thing for him to deal with the whole series. It would be a major change for her to know so I think they'll stick to their guns and NOT move us back to Season One angtsy Lana lusting on Clark's part.

Here's hoping, anyway.

[Tron5000]

Don't think a mind-wipe will happen. Clark has struggled with telling Lana his secret for the entire run of the show. What is he finally tells her and her knowing his secret precipitates her death? He would be totally destroyed knowing that finally being honest with her led to her demise.

[Lt. Figgnuts]

You know I wondered about that. But then I thought maybe its just a term that reviewers/writers use to describe the sequence of events.

One more day. :D

Yep. "Narrative" is a term that refers to the style of the story-telling, the pacing, the sequence of events, etc.

"Narrative" and "narraration" are two different things, although the term "narrative" CAN be used to refer to a story that is narrarated (like Thirst).

[Zorex]

:up: I don't know about that but I don't think they will. Mostly because I think the memory wipe thing has been a crutch they've used once too often on Smallville and they know that.

I really hope they don't resort to that, so I will be bitterly disappointed and angry if they do.

:mad:
Bump on the noggin, memory wiping powers, etc...if any of these are used on Lana, I too will be pissed and disappointed. Something of this magnitude [Lana finding out] should have affects that become a part of the show from here on out, not just be a gimmick for one ep.

Just found another interview, with compliments of Sweet.

SMALLVILLE'S 100TH EPISODE

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0601/25/small1th.jpg (http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0601/25/small1.htm)
Al Gough, executive producer of The WB's Smallville, told The Continuum that the death of a major character in the series' 100th episode on Thursday was something that had been discussed since the end of last season. http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0601/25/small2th.jpg (http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0601/25/small2.htm)
"We knew it was going to be a big season and we felt, certainly for the series, there needed to be a seismic shift," Gough said. "The character who we're killing off is someone we had been discussing for a while. 'What kind of role was this character to go play in the series?' and 'How can we best make use of the character's death?'"
Gough admitted he wasn't always sure Smallville would make it to 100 episodes.
"After year one we did great and year two we did better, but then you change nights and things happen and you change nights again," he said. "Part of you goes, 'Oh God, this is going to be our last season.' But now I think we have one or two more seasons in us.
"You always hope to get to 100, but it's tough to predict. The television landscape has changed so much since we started our show."
Gough said that two more seasons -- if they happen -- would pretty much wrap up Clark Kent's journey to Superman. It would also be the end to the contracts of actors on the show. Look for more from The Continuum's interview with Gough this week, including his comments on Cyborg's appearance on the series, Brainiac's return, Dean Cain and Superman Returns.

Just saw that AOL Television has Smallville listed first on the Thursday Picks page.

Here's the write-up:

On tonight's 100th episode of 'Smallville', a major character will die -- but who? Post your theories here. Even though someone will go up, up and away to heaven, I bet he/she will never truly be gone. The show is based on a comic book and in that medium, characters have a way of popping up again. If death was not enough, Clark reveals his secret to Lana and pops the question in his way cool Fortress of Solitude. Will she say yes? Come on, what girl could say no to Superman? My geek heart is saddened about the impending death, but soaring because this year 'Smallville' is back on track and is kicking butt in the ratings. -- Sean Doorly

The big news for fans is that Kent finally gets his wings: Superman can fly. "For me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman," says Welling. It doesn't necessarily mean he's about to put on the cape and tights, he adds. It just kicks things up a notch, especially the rivalry between Kent and Lex Luther (Michael Rosenbaum). "It's going to start to explode a lot faster than it has in the past," he says.

There's no way that's correct. I used to work for those guys -- there's no chance what so ever that sorry bunch could have broken a story like that. I do however believe Bill was as the same press junket as everyone else and had a brain fart which he interpreted as Clark Kent flies. :)

From Kryptonsite's News Page: http://www.kryptonsite.com/

The 100th episode of Smallville airs TONIGHT, JANUARY 26 at 8PM on the WB.

This episode is a very big deal and the events within will feature at least one major death that will change Clark's life forever. You may think you're spoiled about the episode - trust us, some of the speculations are wrong. There may even have been photos that have leaked that show things that might not necessarily be in the show. So yeah. Whether you end up liking the final result or not, there will still be surprises.

Milestone: 'Smallville'
WB's drama presaged Hollywood's comic-hero revolution and has delivered solid ratings for WB Network during its five-season run.

By John Anderson
The character of Superman is one of the most iconic, quintessentially American creations of the 20th century, so it's hardly surprising that the Man of Steel has enjoyed an enduring public life. Since he first appeared on the pages of DC Comics in 1938, Superman has evolved from a wisecracking tough guy into a genial movie hero whose overwhelming goodness compensates for his somewhat-questionable fashion sense (it takes a real man to wear a blue-and-red body stocking and cape). He has made stars of the actors who have portrayed him, from George Reeves to Christopher Reeve, and earned plenty of cash for the movie studios and TV networks responsible for his big- and small-screen iterations.

Intrigued by Superman's legacy, "Smallville" executive producers Mike Tollin and Brian Robbins partnered with showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to hatch a series that would reintroduce the character to a new audience. Their concept placed mild-mannered Clark Kent in rural Kansas, where he would face off against the perils of a "super-adolescence" -- including dating, exams and X-ray vision.

The show proved a perfect fit for WB's predominantly teen demographic, and four-plus seasons after its 2001 debut and with its 100th episode set to air tonight, "Smallville" has become a stalwart of that network's lineup, delivering solid ratings despite time-slot shifts and executive turnover. The show now airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. and routinely draws more men 18-34 viewers than does CBS' reality hit "Survivor" -- and, in perhaps the surest sign of its strength, "Smallville" was cited immediately this week as one of the strongest assets available to the CW network to be created in the fall by the union of WB and UPN.

The series' Seasons 1-4 DVDs also have brought in more than $100 million in revenue for Warner Home Video, according to Home Media Research, and "Smallville" has fared nicely in syndication for ABC Family, which picked up the show for about $400,000 an episode and began airing it in 2004.

Oddly, the creators of the sci-fi drama did not initially set out to make a show about Superman. Robbins notes that he and Tollin had their eye on a much darker, though equally compelling, comic-book character.
CM8ShowAd("Middle"); DoFSCommand_93381(command,args); "In the early days of our deal at Warner Bros. (Television), we had the idea to do a young Batman," says Robbins, whose production company with Tollin, Tollin/Robbins, is also behind the WB drama "One Tree Hill."

Fortunately for Clark Kent, Warner Bros. Pictures already had spoken for Bruce Wayne's caped crusader: The studio then was developing "Batman: Year One," based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, for Darren Aronofsky to direct (though Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" ultimately would restart that film franchise last summer). It was suggested that Tollin and Robbins instead focus their series on Superman, a notion motivated in part by corporate synergy because the studio, the network and DC Comics are all owned by Time Warner.

"We wanted to do the same spin: Redefine the early mythology of Clark Kent," Robbins says. "We went to (WBTV president) Peter Roth, and he loved the idea -- and that was the beginning of it."

Finding the right actor to portray Clark Kent was critical, and even up-and-coming thespian Tom Welling understood that the role was not one to take lightly.

"When Tom Welling walked into the casting office, all we had was a tape where he played the cute pizza boy in (the 1997 movie) 'Chasing Amy,' I think it was," Tollin says. "He had a sparkle and charm and a screen presence, but he was a little concerned with diving in and playing a young Superman because, let's face it, this town is littered with people who have taken that on and found it was a dead end. To his credit, he wasn't a young actor who got stars in his eyes and said, 'This is my shot' -- we had to talk him into the role."

Obviously, Welling signed on, as did Kristin Kreuk as love interest Lana Lang and Michael Rosenbaum as a young incarnation of Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor.

"Before this, I was doing comedy," Rosenbaum says. "Now, I'm the most serious character in the show -- but I do have fun. When we started, they said, 'We know you're eventually going to be evil, but let's make it interesting (and) see how the villain becomes the villain."

Once its elements were in place, "Smallville" became the subject of a major bidding war between WB and Fox, which did nearly everything it could to wrest the series from its rival. The struggle forced WB to make the show's creative executives an attractive offer: a 13-episode commitment with a significant budget.

"It worked out for the best because it really became a defining show for (WB), a defining show for us, and the slant we took on the show -- very youth-driven -- worked really well for them," Robbins says.

"Smallville" had the mixed blessing of debuting shortly after WB had lost "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," one of the gems of its schedule, to UPN and was in need of a smart, genre-bending, youth-skewing series with potential to garner critical acclaim. Although considerably different from "Buffy," "Smallville" similarly relies on the supernatural as a metaphor for growing up and assuming the responsibilities that accompany adulthood.

The premiere was anything but small in ratings terms: In a 9 p.m. Tuesday berth, "Smallville" delivered the best numbers for a series debut in the then-seven-year history of WB, bringing in 8.4 million total viewers, topping Fox and ABC in the time slot and delivering WB's best-ever numbers among adults 18-34 (4.5 rating/12 share), men 18-34 (5.0/14) and men 18-49 (3.9/10). It also ranked No. 1 in the time slot in WB's target demos of teens, female teens and persons 12-34.

After a rocky first season marred by on-set anxiety, "Smallville" assumed the mantle of a hit series with relative ease. The show seldom has been WB's flashiest asset but has proved its worth in every slot in which it has been scheduled, a trend that was underscored when "Smallville" moved to Wednesday nights in 2003.

The series' latest schedule shift, which took effect for the 2005-06 season, not only raised eyebrows within the industry -- could "Smallville" compete in the Thursday 8 p.m. slot against "Survivor," Fox's teens-in-peril franchise "The O.C." and other established hits? -- but also motivated its creatives.

"Believe me, last May or June, when we knew we were changing nights again, it was a nerve-racking time," says executive producer Greg Beeman, who has directed more than a dozen episodes. "I also think that because we were moving nights, we made a really concerted effort to have a great season. Obviously, that's the goal every season, but this year it was like, 'This is do-or-die for us.' What we all started talking about was how we were going to stop holding back on all the things we've been holding back on."

According to insiders, at least one character will die during tonight's episode, and Clark will not only propose to Lana but also reveal his true identity. "All those things that we've been playing with and flirting with, I think we all decided to just go for broke," Beeman says.

Perhaps that full-blown commitment to resolving story lines has helped to keep audiences hooked to "Smallville." The show's fifth season has been a boon to WB with an average total viewership of 5.5 million, up 28% from the 2004-05 tally, according to Nielsen Media Research.

David Bianculli, a TV critic for the New York Daily News and the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air," asserts that "Smallville's" unique brand of drama puts it squarely on his must-TiVo list.

"There are episodes and performances and ideas that I just like in this show," he says. "The idea of building a parallel new mythology for a familiar comic-book story is a nice use of entertainment television."

Adds Robbins: "Superman is a huge pop franchise, but Al and Miles have done a great job in writing and crafting it -- it's very well-executed. All of the new mythology that they brought to it -- the peeling away of everything slowly, playing out the Lex-Clark relationship slowly -- has really done the show a service."

Awesome review, Kal..

I particularly liked this bit:

Welling's Clark gets potent individual moments not only with Lana, but with his father, mother Martha (Annette O'Toole), and good friend Chloe (Allison Mack). Lana gets solo time with Chloe, and with Lois Lane (Erica Durance). Even the fathers get to share screen time, with Jonathan breaking away to visit Lex's controlling father, Lionel (John Glover).

When the hour is over, one of the regular characters mentioned above will be dead. Not just comic-book, all-a-dream, rotate-the-Earth dead, but dead, with a funeral, a farewell and a sense of loss.

Even a show that's pure fantasy can inject some reality. The better ones make a point of it, and "Smallville" is better for trying, and succeeding, tonight.

Gaaah! I'm going to be SO late for work! You people need to stop distracting me!

This has got to be a misunderstanding...Right? :eek:

from: http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2006/01/26/1411799.html

The big news for fans is that Kent finally gets his wings: Superman can fly. "For me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman," says Welling. It doesn't necessarily mean he's about to put on the cape and tights, he adds. It just kicks things up a notch, especially the rivalry between Kent and Lex Luther (Michael Rosenbaum). "It's going to start to explode a lot faster than it has in the past," he says.

wow someone REALLY misunderstood what Tom was talking about.... I'm almost embarrassed for them... :o

You know I woke up in the middle of the night last night, I hadnt been dreaming about Smallville, but the first thought that popped into mind, was that Superman travelled back to 2006 from the future and that's how he was able to save Lana. You dont actually see him, just a flash of his cape through the sky.

Kinda weird huh? :eek:

One hundred episodes and still the kid can’t fly.

Granted, not flying was part of the deal when Smallville introduced viewers to the teenage Clark Kent (Tom Welling ) in October 2001. The series was to cover only the part of Clark’s life before he became Superman. Welling told TV writers at the time that the plan was, “No tights ; no flights.” It was a little easier to accept Welling and his co-star, Kristin Kreuk (playing Lana Lang ) as teens back then when he was 23 and she a fresh-faced 18. Cutie Kreuk still has no pores or a hint of a wrinkle (she’s the latest Neutrogena spokeschick ), but Welling is starting to look most post-teen. At least they graduated from high school at the end of last season.

Canadian Kreuk, whose father is Dutch and mother is Indonesian Chinese, still has that youthful and slightly exotic appeal that helps keep the show popular after five seasons.

Lana and Clark seem perfect for each other but, alas, we know it’s not meant to be and that Clark winds up with Lois Lane.

A young Lois is already on the scene in Smallville. She’s quite the spunky pistol and is played by Erica Durance.

Part of the challenge is not to have the myth and backstory of Smallville contradict the wellknown existing Superman saga.

There are bound to be conflicts, but fans seem willing to overlook them especially since Superman Returns is headed to the big screen in June. Oddly, playing the Man of Steel in that film will be Brandon Routh, who is two years younger than Welling.

For those who came to the party late, Smallville is the tale of Clark in his younger days in Kansas, before he headed off to Metropolis and his job at the Daily Planet.

Toddler Clark arrived in a meteor shower, was discovered and taken in by Jonathan (John Schneider ) and Martha Kent (Annette O’Toole ).

He grew up, slowly discovering he was different from the other boys. His teen years were particularly challenging, making him introspective and a little geeky.

Then there’s that kryptonite. Different forms of the stuff affect folks in different ways, most of them unpleasantly. Young Clark has to learn to deal with that while still keeping his secret.

And, of course, there’s Clark’s biological father, Jor-El. He speaks to him off in the famous Fortress of Solitude — a frozen, shiny place in the arctic somewhere.

There’s also the bald Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum ), who was Clark’s boyhood friend. Or was he really ? Lex will eventually turn to the dark side and become an arch nemesis for Superman.

So. What happens in tonight’s big episode ? Lots of goodies. If you’ve been away from the series for a while, you might want to revisit.

Clark finally reveals his secret to Lana at the Fortress of Solitude. That’s worth the price of admission right there.

Then there’s the result of the senate race between Jonathan and Lex.

And finally there’s a horrible, horrible car accident that takes the life of someone Clark loves. That causes Clark to appeal to Jor-El for help.

Who dies ? I don’t know. I won’t even pretend. All I know is my sources inform me it’s not who you’ve been led to believe by the “bait-and-switch” teaser ads.

Welling says, “When the death occurs, it’s a complete surprise to every single character.” But this is TV. Anything can happen. Just look at 24. In this season’s very first episode they killed off two key characters from last season. Killed ’em dead. Find out who kicks the bucket at 7 p. m. today on the WB.

[Spaceballs]

There could always be a surprise death at the end of the Episode.

[Kaboom]

yea..maybe clark dies and chloe assumes his name and eventually becomes superman.

yea..maybe clark dies and chloe assumes his name and eventually becomes superman.


I was thinking more or less

Lionel (he goes to see Lex, Lex knows about how he helped Jonathan & Chloe through the Race with tips & the Money & then Lex puts 2 & 2 Together with what happened to Jonathan & you know if Lionel DOES survive this Episode thats not good for Chloe. Lionel KNEW Jonathan would have NEVER accepted that Money but did it anyway & with the way hes helped Chloe with those tips about Lex. Lionel can & probably will eventually go after Chloe. He went after Jonathan & Chloe willingly accepted Lionels help so who knows Lionel might want Chloe next :eek: Always a price for any type of help from a Luthor so who knows what the consequence be for Chloe if Lionel survives this Episode. Just look at what he ends up doing to Jonathan

Death visits ‘Smallville’ for 100th episode
By Anthony C. Ferrante
Special to The Examiner
Published: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 6:05 PM PST
E-mail this story | Print this page


While shows such as “24” and “Lost” make no qualms about killing off major characters on their shows, the young Superman series “Smallville” has shied away from such major, permanent stunts during its five-year stint.

However, on its 100th episode, “Reckoning,” which airs tonight on the WB at 8, that all changes when one of its major cast members is sent packing in an emotion-filled hour.

“It was a real exciting episode for us to shoot because it’s a turning point, and I think from this episode on, the show is going to be very different from what it’s been in the past,” said Tom Welling, who plays Clark Kent. “I also think we’re finally going to get to what I believe the audience wanted the show to be.”


What Welling is referring to is the show heading more into the direction of the Superman mythology everyone is familiar with — but still without the “no tights, no flight” rule that’s been a mandate from Day 1.

“To me, the show has always been about Clark before Superman and for me, flying brings you into the realm of Superman,” Welling said. “I find it much more interesting to concentrate on the development of this character and show you what happened in his life to make him become the Superman that we know him to be.”

Although Welling won’t reveal who eventually dies on the series, he does hint it’s going to be a big surprise for longtime fans.



“When the death occurs, it’s a complete surprise to every single character,” Welling said. “It’s not something that Lex planned or that the audience may have known or have hints about in the future like sometimes happens in episodic television. This is a complete surprise for everyone. And I literally didn’t know who it was until I read the script.”

Of course, seeing this longtime character pass on was just as emotional for the cast and crew as it will be for audiences who tune in.

“It is very bittersweet to see that person go,” Welling said. “We all know that it’s the industry we’re in. Everyone’s thrown together in this very intimate relationship where everyone’s focused and it’s very much a team effort to get something done and then all of a sudden it’s a wrap and everybody turns around and walks away. ... But luckily, when that person dies on the show, they don’t actually die in real life, so you’re able to keep in contact with them and continue your friendship.”

`Smallville' marks big milestone
By Charlie McCollum
Mercury News

In the midst of a ratings and artistic revival in its fifth season, the WB's ``Smallville'' hits a milestone next Thursday (8 p.m., Ch. 20) with its 100th episode. And to mark the occasion, the producers of the Superman-as-teenager drama have come up with a grabber of an hour that includes the death of a main character.

``For us, it was a really exciting episode to shoot because it's a turning point, and from this episode on, this show is going to be very different,'' says Tom Welling, who plays the young Clark Kent. ``We're finally going to get to what I believe the audience wanted the show to be.''

Welling says he doesn't know for sure, but he hopes the changes won't find the producers going back on their pledge of ``no flights, no tights'' on ``Smallville.''

``To me, from the beginning, this show has always been about Clark before Superman. And for me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman,'' Welling says. ``I find it much more interesting to concentrate on the development of this character and show you what happened in his life to make him become this Superman that we all know him to be.''

He says the writers want to redefine the relationships on the show, particularly between Clark and the young Lex Luther (Michael Rosenbaum). ``We're going to actually start seeing the Luther/Kent rivalry. It's going to start to explode a lot faster than it has in the past.''

As might be expected, Welling isn't saying who dies next Thursday (and all I'm going to say is that it isn't the character you might expect if you've seen promos for the episode).

``This show did a really good job, leading up to this episode, to not hint toward it at all,'' Welling says. ``And when the death occurs, it's a complete surprise to every single character.''

He also isn't certain just how the upcoming revival of the ``Superman'' film franchise -- with Bryan Singer's ``Superman Returns'' -- will affect the series, which has had the Man of Steel mythology to itself for the past five years.

``I wish I had a better answer than I don't know, but I really don't,'' Welling says with a laugh. ``We'll have to see what happens.''

Thought I saw the rest of that misquote somewhere

In this season’s very first episode they killed off two key characters from last season. Killed ’em dead. Find out who kicks the bucket at 7 p. m. today on the WB.

By the way, in your cute little animation there, it should be DESERVE (with no S on the end). Noun-verb agreement is a wonderful thing.

Then nevermind my last little shot at you. It's all good baby baby!

Yes! 6 hours and 26 minutes left until showtime!

Is it only an hour long tonight?

[Tron5000]

But I have to TiVo it cause I'm going to the Thrashers game, so it's more like 9+ hours before I'll actually watch it.

[Tron5000]

Only an hour long. I kinda wish they had made such a huge episode a 2-hour deal.

[Kazaire]

Thanks!:up:

[Tron5000]

No problem. Happy viewing and I guess I won't be able to get on here until at least sometime after midnight. Damn hockey!

another GREAT article from Variety:


WB synergy in full force
Welling, quality of show aids 'Smallville's' success

By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

More powerful than your average series. Able to leap from comicbook to studio to network to homevideo at a single bound. Look! On the air! It's "Friends." It's "ER." No, it's "Smallville."
The hit WB series, experiencing a creative and rating renaissance in its fifth season, represents one of those diamonds in the rough for conglomconglom Time WarnerTime Warner: A show that reaches across the company as a perfect example of synergy.

Warner Bros.' DC ComicsDC Comics owns the rights to the Superman character; Warner Bros. TV produces "Smallville," a teenage take on the titan in tights; the WBthe WB airs the show (seen via affils on Time Warner cable systems in many parts of the country); Warner Bros.' distribution units sell the show internationally and into domestic syndication; Warner Home Video releases the "Smallville""Smallville" DVD; the cycle starts again.

The synergy once even hit Warner Music, which released a "Smallville" CD back when it was still owned by Time Warner.

"The ideal property to exploit for our studio is a franchise property like 'Smallville,' " says Warner Bros. TV Group toppertopper Bruce Rosenblum. "This takes advantage of our DC Comics division, our distribution strength via the WB, our top-supplier studio Warner Bros. TV and our homevideo operations, all working in concert together."

Now, the success of "Smallville" has even helped bring a theatrical movie to fruition. Bryan SingerBryan Singer is directing "Superman Returns," starring Brandon Routh as the latest Clark Kent.

It's easy to underestimate how "Smallville" helped jumpstart an entire franchise. But prior to Tom Welling taking over as Clark Kent, the Superman character had been limping along for several years.

The last major Superman TV show, "Lois & Clark," suffered dismal ratings toward the end of its run. And Superman hadn't had a movie presence in years.

The WB first got an inkling that Superman was still cool in 1997, when the net started airing an animated series (with Tim Daly voicing the main character) starring the Man of Steel -- from Warner Bros. Animation, of course. Still, there was no guarantee that "Smallville" would work, no matter how much corporate synergy there was.

"Much like the magic of finding the right cast for 'Friends' or 'ER,' these very successful franchises come along only every so often," Rosenblum says. "A network timeslot alone doesn't guarantee success. And creative auspices alone don't guarantee success."

But in this case, the stars did align. WB Entertainment president David JanollariDavid Janollari says several factors led to the show's success, including Welling, and the "fresh take on Superman's teenage years and the consistent quality of the show." And, of course, "the cohesive way divisions like DC, Warner Bros. TV, the WB and the producers have worked closely together to produce a hundred different episodes that remain true to the character's inherent tone and mythology," he says.

Next up, Warner Bros. hopes to have another franchise success story with "Aquaman," another DC Comics character that's about to hit the small screen.

The WB (which will transform into the newly created CW network) is in development with "Smallville" showrunners Al Gough and Miles MillarMiles Millar to bring that story to life.

"It's hardly a slam-dunk, because the process of developing, creating, producing and launching a big franchise is daunting," Janollari says, "but when it does work, it reminds you why media conglomerates are so powerful."

Nice post Hulk, but what happened with all the double-talk there?

[The Incredible Hulk]

it's variety's site, for some reason when they write up an article and someone's name appears, a link to that person shows up right after it....but since the formatting drops when I post it on here, it looks like a double talk :D

[Tron5000]

Right on. Knew it wasn't your doing, just wondered what caused it.

Hee hee..... I have to share. I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but my hubby is an officer in the military not really relevant, but, anyway....

He has Smallville discussions with one of the enlisted that does the reservations for his trips and he came home last night and said "I'm not so sure you're right about who dies and I'm thinking it's two people not just one." He's so sharp that one.....that's why he works in intelligence. (He knows I scan these boards and probably should have some clue) I just smiled. By the way the enlisted is a woman and her reasoning for watching is of course because Tom is Sooo Hot! http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[PenguinDust]

Hi, I've been a lurker on this forum (SV) for many months now, but today I decided to join due to all the anticipation over tonight's "very special" Smallville. I hope you will bear with me, as I am a definite n00b here. As I stated, I have lurked here often and read many of your insightful posts, but was unable to comment due to internet usage restrictions at work. At home I suffer with dial-up.

Anyway, I have a question that's been bugging me. I'm not sure if it was discussed recently (this thread is over a 100 pages!) but, if Johnathan wins the election and then if he dies, does Martha inherit his senatorial seat?:confused:

cheesy? how would you have said anything differently?

"I'm sorry Lana, I couldn't let anything happen to you!" That was cheesy, you gotta admit.

How is that different than the dialogue between Clark and Lana in EVERY single episode so far?

Touche.

And this exchange between Clark and Jonathan...could they be telegraphing the death of Jonathan anymore?

Okay maybe not exactly like that

I'm in Canada and don't have WB. So I won't get to see this until February 5th.:(

he flew...wow...

sound is fine.

i gotta admit there are plenty of cheesy lines in this ep, but i dont care!!!!!

So far ALL the dialogue seems CHEESEY AS SHIAT :p

Scenes looked much nicer in the Teasers

[Lt. Figgnuts]

Dunno...we're only 10 minutes in, but I'm not thrilled. It's moving REALLY fast...seems like they're going to try and pack it to the brim, when that might not necessarily be a good thing.

[The Caped Knight]

I'm surprised she didn't chew him out for lying to her for 5 years .

Lana and Pa kent..... TOTALLY.

Poor chloe. I almost cried for her. :(

[Kalé]

well, who died?

Yeah,lots of fast cuts.

Johnathan's line about clark being a man. Serious foreshadowing...

I'm surprised she didn't chew him out for lying to her for 5 years .

That whole conversation seemed WAY too quick. Four and a half years of buildup, and we get a three minute scene where she just accepts it? :/

Did you see the guy getting fired at the Planet? Do you think Clark will take a job there now?

im confident the "how many times have u saved me" sorta balances all that out

Every time Jonathan opens his mouth so far, he just digs himself deeper into his grave.

this all just seems way to good to be true for clark

but lana is a bit too 'friendly'

im confident the "how many times have u saved me" sorta balances all that out

Bull, She was pissed-off with Clark for 5 Whole seasons . Then When he finally Tells her She actsepts ?

After 5 Years Of her chewing Clark out for his secrets. I was exspeting a little more of a fight .

[Eklypze]

i love this Lex seems to be developing more and more into the Lex we all love

crap, she didn't kiss him

looks like lana LIVES

and lex kisses her after she REFUSES clarks proposal.

[Spaceballs]

crap, she didn't kiss him

Whoa. Grabbing Lana and throwing the glass.That is the Lex I know.Wow! Lana just died!

[Eklypze]

what are you talking about??
