That is freaking awesome! I never though Teri Hatcher would ever decided to come on this show...

Now Hatcher and Durance could pass as sisters, but Im glad their going with the "past tape route" it makes sense....

Bravo Smallville Bravo

[DrMylesOBoogie]

This is a really amazing unexpected piece of news. Teri has always been very vocal about her love for Superman and Lois. Very fitting tribute. I actually only watched the Dean Cain episode the other day and he was excellent in it. I'm sure she'll be great aswell.

@NatalieAbrams Erica and Tom both said great things about the Lois & Clark development, Erica gushed about how she cried tears of joy hearing about Hatcher

Erica Durance burst into tears during what was supposed to be a very comedic scene when she got the news that Teri Hatcher would play her mother.

- Lindsay Hartley's character will be the clawed "Mad Harriet." Her episode also will involves Granny Goodness and is said to feature a fight with Tess Mercer.

Hopefully no one will kill me for tweeting this... since it was "off the record" and of course could change for story purposes... but...

I heard up here in Vancouver that it is Lois Lane's mom and Chloe's mom who are sisters. That is how they are cousins! #Smallville

So in other words, Wonder Woman is not Ham Tyler's sister. Or, Moira Sullivan and Sam Lane are not blood-related.

It DOES mean, though, that Lynda Carter and Teri Hatcher play sisters in #Smallville's world, which is all kinds of awesome.

[Webhead2006]

Message from Teri Hatcher on Facebook

Teri Hatcher Thank you to all the Lois and Clark fans who support my Cameo on Smallville (a six year old Lois Lane's mom). It's in honor of that undying support and well, just a little homage to what was and is an important part of my career and life. To that end, here's some old clippings my mom has kept around her house. Thought you might enjoy.

Damn, she's great. Absolutely love her.

thats nice to hear from teri. i wonder if she got to meet all the crew when she is/did shoot her stuff.

Looks like good casting, she started in Dead Like Me and Reaper. I wonder if they'll alter her voice to sound Ed Asner(ish).:oldrazz:

[Webhead2006]

Don't see why they have to she had an ok voice in reaper.

[Sawyer]

Yes, but it didn't really have a Granny quality to it.

[Webhead2006]

Well we will see soon howshe does the role.

[Gianakin_]

She'll be great in the part. They made the right choice.

I shot my Smallville part. While I'm sworn to secrecy, I can tell you that it was a blast from the past and it was with love in my heart that I tried to deliver something that served the part, honored the show in it's 10th season, and gave a tip of the hat to all the deserved fans who've supported me all these years. Many thanks. It was lots of fun. Check out this photo from the set. Can you believe it? Ah...Lois. I love Susan but I've missed you:) Stay tuned for info and air dates.

[Serene]

I can't wait to see Hatcher as Lois' mother. What a fantastic casting coup.

[SpideyVille]

There was a recent tweet from somebody involved in the show saying they were shooting in LA. It's most likely this scene, which means chances are there won't be any interactions between Hatcher and anyone else. Though it's still great to at least have her make an appearance.

[Webhead2006]

Cool preview image of terri. Also yea if they did shoot her scenes in la its probably due to her filming schedule for dh down there. It would be nice if cast/crew came down to watch/meet her.

[KBX]

Im banking on that scene Terri has will be before the credits roll. Still glad she was able to come through!

[zerohour films]

I think its awesome they have Terri Hatcher playing Mama lane, but it sucks that they already showed a picture of her in the past and she was blonde...kinda like the switch-a-roo for Chloe's mom going from blonde to brunette as well.

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1711/lanefamily.jpg (http://img840.imageshack.us/i/lanefamily.jpg/)

Not too big a deal since it was just a quick shot of a photo...just one of those annoying continuity things.

I have to say though the casting for both mommies is awesome. Would loved to have seen Terri and Lynda have a scene together in a flashback.

“SMALLVILLE” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET)
“Abandoned” (CONTENT RATING TBD) (HDTV)

TERI HATCHER GUEST STARS AS ELLA LANE; DC COMICS’ CHARACTERS GRANNY GOODNESS (CHRISTINE WILLES) AND HARRIET (GUEST STAR LINDSAY HARTLEY) APPEAR — Lois (Erica Durance) finds a video made for her by her mother, Ella Lane (Hatcher), before she died. After watching the tape, Lois makes a drastic decision about her relationship with Clark (Tom Welling) that takes her to the Fortress, where she comes face to face with Jor-El and Lara... Meanwhile , Tess has a nightmare involving herself as a child and a music box. Upon awakening, she finds the music box in Luthor mansion and sets out to find out who planted it there. Clark accompanies her to an orphanage run by Granny Goodness (guest star Christine Willes) who may not have the young girls’ best intentions in mind. One of the young women living there, Harriet (guest star Hartley), finds Clark snooping around and decides to take matters into her own very sharp hands. Kevin Fair directed the episode written by Drew Landis & Julia Swift (##3X6008).

[Prison Mike]

Yup, Lois definitely knows everything about Clark by this episode. :woot:

[Sawyer]

I wonder what's the story with her coming face to face with Jor-El and Lara.... I mean, we can assume that neither Julian Sands nor Helen Slater will be appearing, since we would've heard about it already. I just wonder how that's going to work.

[Prison Mike]

Yeah, I'm curious about the Lara thing. Most likely it will just be voices but I don't recall Lara's voice stored in the FOS.

[SrsBsns]

I'm more interested in knowing how Laura is present.

[Johnny]

Or Jor-El may show her in some way flashbacks of Lara or who knows. Or something may have happened by Abandoned and Lara's voice to be there, too.

[SpideyVille]

Wow, sounds like this is going to be a really big episode.

For some reason though, I'm getting a bad flashback of Superman II where (depending on which version is it) Jor-El and Lara come face to face with Clark before they take away his powers so he can be with Lois.

[Zorex]

Wow! :eek:

This episode sounds awesome! I'm really, really excited about this one now. The Teri Hatcher news was cool, especially as far as cameos go, but everything we just learned sounds... fantastic.

[Johnny]

Yeah, this ep sounds kickass.

:wow: OMG this is going to be wicked.

[Zorex]

I am so pleasantly perplexed by the Jor-El and Lara spoiler. Would they not announce Sands and Slater re-guesting on the show out of respect for Hatcher's noteworthy cameo, as well as the other guest stars? In what other way could Lois come face-to-face with Clark's biological parents, I wonder, if not with the actors who have previously embodied them on the show?

Also, I just realized how cute Lois' mother's name is.... Ella Lane. Ella like "El," as in "L." ... L. Lane. Har har har, oh, the alliteration.

(<-----silly)

[Young Superman]

Maybe Kendall Cross who voiced Lara in "Memoria" will return as Lara's voice in the Fortress. Also I hope Lois tells Jor-El off.

[herolee10]

According to this Interview with Helen Slater, it appears that she WILL be returning to film in this episode as Lara alongside with Julian Sands.


So, you're just doing some stuff on the final season...?

Julian Sands and I are doing an episode. I wish it was more because it was so much fun doing it. But I guess they've got it all written. We're just doing one episode.

Yeah, also I was watching the commentary on Crusade the other day and Al/Miles said the scene with Annette and Margot Kidder was shot when they were doing Transference, which was like 6 episodes later. So it wouldn't be the first time they've filmed something later. Maybe they won't exactly be face to face, in the sense that they could make them holograms that Lois can see so that they all don't really have to shoot it all together, but still appear together.

[Webhead2006]

yup some times episodes are shot out of order or stuff shot at different times.

[SpideyVille]

Wow, but this will be interesting to see how this is going to work considering that "Fortress Jor-El" has always been Terrence Stamp's voice.
Yea very interesting, especially considering Sands played a 20 years younger Jor-El. I always thought when we saw present day Jor-El that it would in fact be Stamp.

[PJBoy]

From the episode description, guess they're doing this episode. Can't freaking wait!

According to wikipedia:

Lois is the daughter of Ellen (alternately Ella) and Sam Lane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Lane).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lane#cite_note-2) In the earlier comics, her parents were farmers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer) in a town called Pittsdale; the modern comics, however, depict Sam as a retired soldier, and Lois as a former "army brat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_brat_%28U.S._subculture%29)", born at Ramstein Air Base (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_Air_Base) with Lois having been trained by her father in areas such as hand-to-hand combat and the use of firearms. Lois also has one younger sibling, her sister Lucy Lane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Lane).[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lane#cite_note-3)Interestingly enough, Noel Neill played Lois' mother in Superman: The Movie. It was a deleted scene though where they called the girl Lois, but it was from the train scene when young Clark in running back home.

[avidreader]

According to wikipedia:

Thanks Spidey. Ella is kind of short for Ellen I suppose.

Interestingly enough, Noel Neill played Lois' mother in Superman: The Movie. It was a deleted scene though.

Was it Noel Neill or the actress that took over from her. You mean the scene in the train, right? Its on the DVD.

It was Noel Neill, and actually, Noel took over the role of Lois Lane (on The Adventures of Superman) from Phyllis Coates, not the other way around. :)

Also interesting, Kirk Alyn, the movie serials Superman, played Lois' father in the same scene.

That's right two former Lois Lane returned in different medias to play Ella Lane

Noel Neill - Superman : The movie

Phyllis Coates - The first season of Lois & Clark : TAOS

And now Teri Hatcher is the next one to pick up the torch .

[SpideyVille]

And this won't be the first time that there are two Lois Lanes in one episode. Margot Kidder and Erica Durance both appeared in Crusade. Sadly, though, they did not share a scene.

[Prison Mike]

Perhaps in some live-action incarnation of Superman sometime in the future, Erica Durance can play Lois' mother...

I'll tell ya what happened! Secrets! Secrets and lies!

:p

Y'know what I think could (potentially) be awesome? A show about the Last Days of Krypton (not necessarily adapted from the novel of the same name, but following the same idea). Maybe a miniseries instead of a show... Nothing that movie audiences would find interesting, but could be a snazzy sci-fi drama a la BSG or Caprica (only way more exciting and gripping than the latter, of course). Family and romantic drama set amidst a fantastic sci-fi settings and action, all building towards the tragic end of the world... and one little baby rocketed off into the stars.

...Oh, what could be...

[SpideyVille]

Hopefully Slater and Sands get a better story this time around. I wasn't a big fan of the way their characters appeared in their first go-arounds.

[Prison Mike]

I hope they appear in hologram form. Though I wonder why they would come out for Lois and not for Clark. Especially when A.I. Jor-El has been riding Clark the entire series.

[Webhead2006]

yea going to be interesting to see what happens. it would be fun if they do lois sees clark's final moments on kalel, and they show in better form of his launching from memoria with helen and julian in the red/blue outfits and redoing the lines side there, among some other stuff.

[vantheman77]

I'm glad we will see both Jor-El and Lara together in the flesh. They could provide origin flashbacks or could appear in the Fortress as holograms. I hope Clark interacts with them as well. It's possible he may have seen it while he was training last season. If Clark doesn't see them, there's no way he can move on without a direct experience. It's not the same when you have unnecessary updates from Lois.

If Lois sees the old videotape of her mother, then Clark has to see the message from Jor-El and Lara himself.

We have Clark and Tess dealing with Granny Goodness and Mad Harriet, who fights them both at separate times. I can't see Tess beating a superhuman alien in Mad Harriet since she's an Apokolips soldier.

[Webhead2006]

she probably gets her butt handed to her lol.

[vantheman77]

Tess would've had no problem in dealing with a Kryptonian like Zod since she used Kryptonian brass knuckles on him, but Mad Harriet is not Kryptonian so the fights should be good in this one. This is also a November sweeps episode.

[SpideyVille]

Is there’s any chance that Erica Durance and Teri Hatcher will interact on ‘Smallville’? – CloisScherzy24 via Twitter
Alas, no. The episode “Abandoned” strictly features Lois watching her passed-on mom via videotape. “I don’t get the pleasure of physically shooting with Teri,” Erica lamented when we spoke.

http://www.fancast.com/blogs/2010/tv-news/the-big-tease-scoop-on-house-castle-ncis-himym-and-more/

[vantheman77]

That's expected when Lois sees an old videotape of her mother.

[Webhead2006]

yea and it was reported that they shot teri's stuff in la. So it was all separate.

[vantheman77]

So expect this to be a passing of the Lois Lane torch. It's becoming tradition to see preceding Lois Lanes playing mothers to succeeding ones:

In Superman: The Movie, Noel Neill played Lois' mother.
In Lois and Clark, Phyllis Coates played Lois' mother.
In Smallville, Teri Hatcher will play Lois' mother.

The Superman torch is passed from Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain to Tom Welling. The Supergirl torch is passed from Helen Slater to Laura Vandervoort.
The Lana Lang torch is passed from Annette O' Toole to Kristin Kreuk.

I believe Lois will be at the Fortress accidentally. Jor-El and Lara may be seen in flashbacks and we may get the full origin of Clark. Also, Clark doesn't know that the suit is in the Fortress, but I wonder if Lois will discover that the suit is in there that she may tell Clark about it.

[Webhead2006]

Yea I am curious to see how lois goes to fos and how to sands/slater jorel and lara stuff go. Personally love if they show lois seeing there last moments on krpyton and putting baby kalel in the ship, while going by how memoria scene was. But this time seeing more.

Abandoned is written by Drew Landis and Julia Swift, who wrote last season's Pandora and Upgrade.

The only downside to her guest spot is that longtime fans of Justin and Lindsay won't get that onscreen Passions reunion they're hoping for (we know you're out there!), since Tom Welling (http://forums.superherohype.com/uberblog/celebs/c116917_Tom_Welling.html) is the only castmember she'll interact with.

Buzz surrounding this episode is already huge, and not just because of the Mr. and Mrs. Hartley doubleheader. "Abandoned" also marks the debut of Lois Lane's mom Ella, played by Teri Hatcher (http://forums.superherohype.com/uberblog/celebs/c117120_Teri_Hatcher.html)—who was, of course, TV's Lois Lane in the 1990s. We're told that the arrival of Ella is an emotional roller-coaster ride, so brace yourselves for another hour of Smallville magic.

[vantheman77]

Justin Hartley is one lucky guy. Mad Harriet looks awesome and I can't wait to see how her fights with Clark and Tess come across onscreen. :super:

[vantheman77]

Deleting this because of multiple copied posts.

[p4poetic]

Looks good!

[KBX]

Hopefully we get more Female Furies like Lashina and Stompa along for the ride!

[Sawyer]

While she's much too hot to be Mad Harriet, I'm not complaining... :cool::up:

[bizbaz20]

While she's much too hot to be Mad Harriet, I'm not complaining... :cool::up:

Yeah that was the only worry I had with her look, that's she's too hot.


Mad Harriet was not hot. She was scary.


And had bright green hair.



Like this.

Well I was never too fond of that anyways. You want the green hair and the Baraka teeth - watch the animated series or S/B: Apocalypse. I don't mind her "ultimate" version in Smallville.

[Johnny]

Hopefully we get more Female Furies like Lashina and Stompa along for the ride!

Gillotina is enough to me. ;)

[Webhead2006]

She is pretty cool looking. I hope they get other furies too.

[vantheman77]

In Kandor, Clark only briefly interacted with Jor-El in the end in comparison to Chloe, Tess, and Zod interacting with him a lot in comparison. What I saw was a disconnection between Clark and Jor-El.

Septien tweeted that Clark will kind of interact with Jor-El and Lara in the Fortress. I think Abandoned will be this season's equivalent of Kandor. :super:

[Webhead2006]

Cool so clark will see lara and jorel too nice. Also can't wait for this episode to see how/what granny stoey is/hariett to and hopefully more details on darkseid.

[SrsBsns]

Like Vantheman said...

@alseptien I appreciate why Clark didn't get much time with Jor-El in KANDOR, but will he get to interact with him and Lara in ABANDONED?
@ginnytwin Kind of.

I have a really good feeling about this episode, but was really hoping there would be for sure be a Clark/Lara/Jor-el scene. It's still possible I suppose.

[Prison Mike]

If he doesn't get much time in this episode then I hope they bring back Sands and Slater for the series finale and they and Clark can have some real on screen time.

[vantheman77]

The more I look at that photo of Mad Harriet, the more she reminds me of Witchblade. If there's ever a new Witchblade TV series, Lindsey would be first choice.

I'm glad Clark will have time to interact with Jor-El and Lara after he helps Tess in dealing with Granny Goodness and Mad Harriet. :super:

[Webhead2006]

Personally I still have no issue with her look. We don't know what the story is yet with the furies and granny. I hope too we get a good clark/jorel/lara scene.

[Zorex]

Yes! YES! You are absolutely right, thanks for pointing that out. :up:

[vantheman77]

I'm not going to look at it as Superman Vs. Mad Harriet, but rather Superman Vs. Witchblade, which would feel like a crossover on live-action. :super:

[The Caped Knight]

OMG The Female Furies look hot, Granny look ugly (which is perfect) and looks like Godfrey returns this time with Desaad (I knew he wasn't going to look like the disfigured man like in the comics.)

[bizbaz20]

Granny does look creepy. But not scary. Goodness is all out intimidating butch woman.

The Furies look more like the Pussycat Dolls in 'When I grow up' rather than Female Furies.

C'mon, where's the scariness and insanity?

[Johnny]

There's no need for it. It's reimagining. Serously, am I the only comicbook fan who doesn't mind the changes they do to the characters to fit them better in the Smallville universe?

[bizbaz20]

Oh no, you're definitly not.

I admit they need to fit in the Smallville universe where everyone is pretty hot.

I was just hoping they could ugly them up a bit and at least look like they've been through a rough time and been 'abondoned.'

[Johnny]

Well, Granny G. doesn't look particularly hot. ;) Though I must admit - until they announced the casting, I was wondering if they're gonna choose some bikini model for the role hahah.

[Sawyer]

The only look that pisses me off is Desaad. **** that.

[Prison Mike]

OMG The Female Furies look hot, Granny look ugly (which is perfect) and looks like Godfrey returns this time with Desaad (I knew he wasn't going to look like the disfigured man like in the comics.)

Granny doesn't look ugly. :huh: She looks like a...grandma.

[Migu-EL]

The only look that pisses me off is Desaad. **** that.
But remember.. this is pre-superman desaad.. He vould get into an accident later on in the series and look more like his ugly future counter part

[Sawyer]

An evil grandma.

[Prison Mike]

An evil grandma who watches Two and a Half Men.

[Sawyer]

An evil grandma who watches Two and a Half Men.

Well now you're just trying to get me to hate the *****.

And it's working. :cmad:

[vantheman77]

The pics are looking awesome from Abandoned. The Furies are awesome looking and Clark is dealing with them, not just Mad Harriet. We now have Godfrey and Desaad, but I wonder if Godfrey is still possessed by Darkseid. Granny Goodness is looking close to her comics and cartoon counterpart. This is the first episode to have Tess stills.

[KBX]

Now I know Darkseid took over Godfrey, so it lookslike he is doing the same with Desaad and Granny. So if that is true and Godfrey, Desaad and Granny all meet does that mean Darkseid is talking to himself? lol

So it may be the Tess came back to life since Granny wants her as a Fury, and used the help of the Luthor DNA to do so!

[Nathan]

Meh... Furies look lame. If they couldn't make them look like their comic counterparts, they should've tried to put some Mortal Kombat spin on them.

I'm not saying copy it exactly, but at least try to make them look visually interesting.

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5020/mileenaw.jpg (http://img23.imageshack.us/i/mileenaw.jpg/)

[KBX]

So basically you want them to look like women in a bikini... lol

[Johnny]

Mileena wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if she kept her mask off all the time. ;)

[Webhead2006]

Cool preview images. Can't wait to see how granny story plays out. Also I wonder if those other ladies are some other furies. Also I hope the blonde guy in godfrey pic is dasaad since he for what ever reason got cut from supergirl. I would hope granny and dasaad are not possesed by darkseid no need for that. Just have godfrey taken over again. Or his scenes could have taken place when darkseid had godfrey.

[Primal Slayer]

The furies are a bit of a letdown (I am fine with SV doing their thing and adapting charecters, but these gals are basically from a hellish world, give them better costumes. All im saying)

Granny looks good though. Hope we get to see her in battle form before the end of the season.

Unless they are all possessing human bodies in which I am fine with the looks.

[vantheman77]

Abandoned is probably the most anticipated episode out of the four after Homecoming with Teri Hatcher, Jor-El and Lara, and Granny Goodness and the Female Furies. Too bad Oliver is not in this episode and couldn't act with his wife, Lindsey, but Oliver's story is tied to the Suicide Squad. :super:

[Sawyer]

Desaad just makes me mad to look at...

[Gmanofsteel]

Who's to say that all of the hotties are furies? Perhaps Granny & Mad H are scouting the earth ladies for potential furies recruits.

[Webhead2006]

Well we can't complain to, uch yet we don't know the story yet on furies and granny. Did they come from darkseid world or is the furies for example just earth girls granny has brainwashed into her bidding. To we know I leave my judgement open.

[Nathan]

Who's to say that all of the hotties are furies? Perhaps Granny & Mad H are scouting the earth ladies for potential furies recruits.

I hope so. All Furies in gym wear would be highly disappointing. Hopefully if Lashina makes an appearance, she'll look more faithful. Shouldn't be hard to put a girl into S&M gear.

[Gmanofsteel]

Exactly, where's stompa and lashina? If it was meant to be the furies I'd be they'd at least give one of the ladies some whips.

Well they could show up later. Or for what ever reason they decided to not use those ones or if any red tape issues for rights on certain ones.

[The Caped Knight]

whats with the freddie kruger glove? :doh:

Mad Harriet is known for her sharp claws :whatever:

[Webhead2006]

Yea you think folks would look up character history. Plus when was the character created? For all we know she could predate freddy any way.

[p4poetic]

Anyone know what is Mrs. Hartley's ethnicity?

Also, for some reason she's giving me a Gina Torres vibe.

[Webhead2006]

no clue p4p, maybe if you do a google search on the actress you can find it out. maybe check her imdb page?

[RagingTempest]

I thought it was obvious she was a Latina or of some Hispanic descent.:huh:

[Nathan]

Mad Harriet is known for her sharp claws :whatever:

I think it's the fact that it's pretty much a Freddy Krueger glove. Instead of coming up with something more interesting, you can almost imagine that someone said "Hey, anyone have any Freddy Krueger props at home?"

The glove is lazy as is the rest of the character design, unless she gradually changes.

After seeing her and the rest of the Furies in the Superman/Batman - Apocalypse animated Movie, something like this would've been great.

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1779/wkarmkrop.jpg (http://img229.imageshack.us/i/wkarmkrop.jpg/)

Not the entire thing, just covering the forearms.

For the outfit, it should be something similar to the design in the middle of this image. Minus the head gear of course. Now that would be an awesome Mad Harriet. Something you could even do on a smallville budget.

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/2425/jaffaarmorfemalesvarog4.jpg (http://img513.imageshack.us/i/jaffaarmorfemalesvarog4.jpg/)

After seeing the JSA in costume, I just really expected a little more.

[Webhead2006]

well you got to remember, first smallville only has a tv budget. and second they are not always going to be able to recreate everyone's look to the t. Some times what worked in the comics doesnt work in live action tv or even films. Then also they usually throw in there own twists on the characters. we dont know the history yet for granny or harrietty/other furies. For all we know they could be stuck here on earth and dont have full access to alien tech so they have to make do with what they have on earth.

[Johnny]

Who cares if it's inspired by Freddy's claws or not? She got claws, she slices people with it, I think that's all that matters really.

[vantheman77]

I expect Tess to shine in this episode. Maybe Clark will find out about young Lex in this episode. :super:

[Webhead2006]

yea will be nice to have clark find out about mini lex since he did meet older clone lex. I also hope we get some good solid backstory with granny, dasaad, hariett and darkseid.

[ZIPBAGS]

Anyone know who the guy is inbetween Granny & Godfrey?

[SpideyVille]

I think it's Desaad.

i think it's stupid that they made everyone so damn attractive.

grow up, smallville

[Prison Mike]

I don't want to see a bunch of ugly people running around. They better be hot. :cmad:

yep, well that's the thing, isn't it?

ugly people, do we need 'em?

that's why the internet is such a good thing

[Zorex]

Bahaha. With Smallville, you can rest assured they will be. :p

True, especially concerning Desaad, I'd rather have more Riff Raff than Ryan Phillippe, but I suppose it's excusable for the show. It can be chalked up to them wanting to maintain a low profile on Earth. You know, by being hot and stuff. Who knows, maybe their ugly selves will be out in force by end of season. It did look to me, in one of the pictures, that prim and proper Granny lets her hair down... in quite a mess. Looking forward to that!

I don't really see what's wrong with look. Its more if they treat the character correct and the essence is there.

[Gianakin_]

GG looks fantastic!

[Johnny]

I wonder if Tess will be revealed as a Fury here.

[Zorex]

I know they've loved to publicize how emotional the stuff with Hatcher was to film, but it sounds more and more like this could be a very emotional episode over all. The show has always seemed to focus on the fathers of the show, and our main characters' relationships with them, but the moms haven't gotten quite the same spotlight. I always appreciate when they do give them some more focus (Memoria, Lara, Blue, even if the episodes aren't always that great or the stories appealing).

[Prison Mike]

I wonder if Tess will be revealed as a Fury here.

This has definitely crossed my mind.

[Johnny]

Well that would explain what Granny Goodness was doing in her hospital room after she died.

Yeah, but I think they could've had him keep a low profile without turning him into a Justin Hartley lookalike. They could've given him a sniveling S&M freak look, which would've gone well since they had Club Desaad earlier this season. Give him long greasy black hair and you're pretty much halfway to a perfect Desaad.

[Zorex]

Yeah, I know. There's a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) mocking in my original post of the show's tendency to cast pretty, pretty people, bad guys or no. It's just one of those things you go with the show on, I suppose...

[Sawyer]

I mean, in certain cases it's understandable. I mean, why shouldn't they cast good looking guys to play Clark and Green Arrow. But Desaad? Desaad?!

[Webhead2006]

Well maybe he can can his looks or something

[Prison Mike]

Wouldn't posing as a dude who looks really ugly stand out? I mean if he looked like an underwear model then I really wouldn't think twice about it. But I would definitely remember a dude who looked creepy/ugly...Or maybe that's just how my mind works.

[Dark Raven]

Who is playing as Granny? I thought we would get someone much heavier and more manly like in the Justice League cartoon.

[ZIPBAGS]

Christine Willes who also played Gladys in "Reaper".

[Dark Raven]

I don't know who she is, but she doesn't look like she could be mistaken for a man in drag... ok, well maybe she could.

[Webhead2006]

Yea we should complain yet on dasaad or granny since we don't know there backstoey yet. I am sure they will have a good reason why they look as they do.

[bizbaz20]

Yeah that's what I was saying before! Because Smallville is very much a looks orientated show it would have been nice to have a real creepy looking character for a change.


Sunken face, dark circles under the eyes, long black hair that almost looks like oil.


But no, because it's Smallville we get Bobby Baywatch instead, lol.



Maybe he will transform into my description towards the end. Which is maybe why they purposly hired an attractive person.

[Sawyer]

I dont get the "Oh, because it's Smallville..." thing with casting good looking actors. As far as I'm concerned this is the first time they've done it that stands out to me, just because Desaad is actually supposed to be really ugly and the actor isnt.

[Prison Mike]

Maybe Desaad is possessing an underwear model...

[Webhead2006]

Haha yea it could just be how he is getting around so folks wouldn't think he is bad. But we will just have to see what his, granny, and the furies backstories will be.

[Sawyer]

Maybe Desaad is possessing an underwear model...

Thats the pretty much the only way that I would'nt completely despise this.

[bizbaz20]

Maybe Desaad is possessing an underwear model...



I mean, yeah. Who else would you possess if you were a fugly alien sadist...

[SpideyVille]

So according to this TV guide ecerpt from an interview with Lindsay Hartley, Mad Harriet's claws are powered by Kryptonite.

I thought the Female Furies have superhuman strength like Big Barda. :super:

[Webhead2006]

Well she probably has little powers probably just from claws. I do like article mention she is alien so hopefully she/furies granny and dasaad will be alien.

[SpideyVille]

Here's an interview with Lindsay Hartley

TV Guide Magazine: Isn't Mad Harriet supposed to be an Amazon?
Hartley: She is! Not someone short and scrawny like me. There's not a lot of muscle to me. [Laughs] I'm not the superpower type at all. Harriet is supposed to be the leader of all these girls who kick ass — the other actresses were like acrobats in real life with these gorgeous muscular legs and I'm the leader? Any of them could kick my ass in half a second. [Laughs] I couldn't justify any of it, but I loved it! The special effects department modeled my claws after Freddy Krueger's. This is also the episode where Teri Hatcher plays Lois Lane's mom (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kecks-Exclusives-Smallvilles-1024207.aspx).It's very much a roots episode, all about where Lois and Tess came from. It's very cool and very eerie.

TV Guide Magazine: So did you whine and whine until Justin got you a job on his show?
Hartley: Oh my God, of course! I have always been a fan of Smallville and wanted to be on it since the show is ending this season. I don't know that I could have done this if Days hadn't let me go. I've been talking to the producers about doing something for the last couple of seasons. I'm always on the set visiting Justin.
http://www.tvguide.com/News/Pit-Stop-Smallville-1025031.aspx

:doh:

I guess people were too far off with the Freddy Kreuger complaints.

[Prison Mike]

Maybe now people won't jump down each other's throats when they have an opinion...

[vantheman77]

In a way I was right that this episode focuses on Lois and Tess. Maybe the title of this episode should be roots. This episode should end Lois' arc. :super:

[Zorex]

Maybe now people won't jump down each other's throats when they have an opinion...
JUST YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

Hater.



;)

I say, so what? The claws look badass. I wish I could say the same for the rest of her costume.

[Johnny]

Claws are fine. I could care less if they were made from kryptonite or not.

[KBX]

Forget about the Freddy comment, this is what got my attention...

Isn't Mad Harriet supposed to be an Amazon?
Hartley: She is!

[Johnny]

She meant that Harriet is supposed to be kinda bigger. While Lindsay said she herself is short.

[Primal Slayer]

I think the Female Furies have been stated as basically Apokolips' version of Amazons.

[Webhead2006]

Yea lin wasn't saying she is amazon just the character is meant to be larger then what she physically is. As for the comment about the claws I don't see issue either there I guess there costume folks thought the freddy look would been more fessible way for there budget. We do have to remember budget does affect what they can and can't do.

[Johnny]

Not to mention that if in fact she did have the original look, a lot of people would change the channel. Her look is kinda tricky for live action. Way more than Hawkman and Doctor Fate's.

[vantheman77]

Abandoned is written by Drew Landis and Julia Swift, who wrote both Pandora and Upgrade.

The better title for this is either Origin or Roots. It's possible we may see Clark's full origin since Lois will be at the Fortress of Solitude. :super:

[Webhead2006]

Would have been nice titles but the one it has is good. Also ep titles usually have double meanings for what's going on.

[Young Superman]

Is this the episode Jor-El and Lara will appear in?

[SpideyVille]

Yup

[Young Superman]

Thanks

[vantheman77]

Maybe what happens at the end of Ambush will cause Lois to be abandoned hence the episode title. :super:

Why would lois be abandoned.

[SpideyVille]

So, based on the trailer, it seems like Lois goes to the Fortress to try to patch things up between Clark and Jor-El. I wonder if it'll work, or if Jor-El will still have his doubts.

[Young Superman]

I can't wait to see Julian Sands and Helen Slater as Jor-El and Lara together.

[LuisTX85]

Promo video was great!,Can't wait and I sure hope Lois can manage to patch things up with Kal-El/Clark and Jor-El!.

I'd much prefer for Clark to do it himself,But still would be great!.

When did Mrs. Lane pass away in Smallville "timeline"?

Hasn't she been gone since Lois was little? I think in the first General Lane episode, he mentioned he had to take care of the girls, their whole life and why Lois was such a daddy's girl/tough girl...

[Webhead2006]

very cool preview for the episode. if i recall lois mentioned in one of her first episodes she died when lois was like between 8-10 yrs old. Lucy probably was likely a baby/toddler when she passed.

:wow: OMG I can't wait to see this episode and I can't wait to see Jor-El & Lara, I love how Lois wants to get Jor-El to talk to Kal-El.

Erica's Lois is the best ever, I don't care if anyone says otherwise. Clark (Welling) and Lois (Durance) also have the best L&C relationship on screen ever too...

Plus, their family members are the best on the screen ever too;

-Schneider
-O'Toole
-Stamp
-Slater
-Ironside
-List
-Hatcher

I remember in that "Look! Up in the Sky!" documentary that came out when Superman Returns came out, they were talking about the L&C show, and how things had never been so deliberately sexy between Lois and Clark. Yet after the last few episodes, I beg to differ.

Wow, the actress they got to play Lois' mom looks kinda hot.... for an older woman that is.



She looks like she could have played Lois when she was younger or something.

[Johnny]

Well, she actually did. ;) Unless you were joking.

[RagingTempest]

Abandoned looks heart-breaking and awesome!:wow: Can't wait for Teri's big cameo as well as Julian and Hellen's return!

[vantheman77]

Abandoned should be another great episode. Teri hasn't aged and has that hair from Lois and Clark. Ambush saw Clark having the Lane Family more cohesive and this episode will probably be Lois' return favor. She may succeed where Kara didn't and I think this is when Lois learns that Clark's family isn't perfect either.

Clark and Tess investigating Granny Goodness and the Female Furies is going to be a highlight with Clark and Tess fighting Mad Harriet, but at separate times. Unlike Chloe, Tess seems more honest with Clark. I've always felt that in terms of the superhero team, Clark/ Tess are on one side while Oliver/ Chloe are on the other. :super:

I dunno. She seems kind of desperate.

I hope they explain what happened with Tess and Granny in Salvation.

[Webhead2006]

so cant wait to see granny/dasaad/furies story and all that. plus to see how teri's cameo fully plays out and julian and helen returning.

[vantheman77]

I was wondering when Clark would confront Jor-El about being disowned and having Kara take his place. :super:

[PJBoy]

The preview looks fantastic!

[Webhead2006]

next week should be a good episode.

Sweet. :woot: :up:

I'm even more hyped for this episode. I'm curious to see how Sands plays Jor-El this time around. I would assume he is older than the clone was since this "vision" should be closer to when Clark was born.

[DaJanksta]

If Clark can have scenes like he did with his dad Johnathon maybe he can have one like that with Jor-el?

Or is it his version of the vhs tapes that Lois has?

[Kii]

When did the FoS get holograms?!

[SpideyVille]

Haha, I was just thinking, the Fortress is like a super-advanced version of a tape or recording, which is pretty cool to see how it parallels to Lois watching something left by her mother while Clark interacts with something left by his father.

[Webhead2006]

Really can't wait to see how jorel/lara are used.

[vantheman77]

I'm glad Clark will see his Kryptonian parents and that Julian Sands and Helen Slater are playing the real Jor-El and Lara, not clones. It doesn't look like Tess is a Luthor and she's fighting Mad Harriet.
