Smallville

This is possibly the DVD art of the Season 10 dvd/bluray set. I don't like it, it's bland, Welling is not in costume............... AND THEY ARE USING BRANDON ROUTH AS THE SHADOW???

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I am pretty sure that's not the final artwork. That has been up on Amazon's UK site since the Finale aired back in May.

[Webhead2006]

And there was already a dvd thread didn't need to make another one. Plus ya it probably not the real cover.

[DIRECTOR]

No, there is a thread about the complete box set, i'm just talking about the S10 DVD set, not the complete set, thank you

Now, according the DVDActive, this could be the final artwork for the DVD.

Anybody know if there are bloopers or did they stop that like in season 4?

[cronosred]

This is possibly the DVD art of the Season 10 dvd/bluray set. I don't like it, it's bland, Welling is not in costume............... AND THEY ARE USING BRANDON ROUTH AS THE SHADOW???

After the finale did you really think they would put him in the suit for the dvd cover? The only way that's going to happen is if you print out a fan made photo and tape it on the box.

[John Locke]

I was hoping it would be him with the shirt rip. It would be a nice bookend with the Season 1 cover.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Deleted.

[Webhead2006]

its probably still isnt the official cover, if it was i am sure we would have seen it from more official channels and all that.

[cronosred]

I was hoping it would be him with the shirt rip. It would be a nice bookend with the Season 1 cover.

I honestly don't think they took any photos of Tom in any part of the suit so the only way I could see that happening is if they used a screen capture.

[Prison Mike]

The cover will be of Chloe...holding two guns.

[SpideyVille]

Count me in as someone who's wondering what's going on with the S10 boxset. I know they won't (and better not) go with the one used for the complete set. I know it's unlikely, but I hope for something like a shirt or the costume, but chances are we'll get some cheap photo-shopped pic.

[TheAQU4M4N]

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003L77GG0/gijoevid I was really pulling for everybody in the cast to be on the cover, or at least something with a little more color..

[SpideyVille]

I was completely sure that that was definitely a fan-made/placeholder pic ... until I went to K-Site and saw them say that its the official pic. I usuually never complain about simply things like this, but that really sucks. It doesn't even look the slightest bit consistent with the other season covers.

[Sam Fisher]

Can't say I'm not disappointed. I like that poster, but terrible choice for cover art.

[Webhead2006]

well that sucks i did hope it wasnt the final look urrggh.

[Ipodman]

I'm sure that's just a temp image...

[Webhead2006]

maybe it could change with the release date still a few months away. i would really hope it does change to something more like season 8 cover or something like season 9's but with the new blur suit or something.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I still don't get it. That particular image with Clark in a suit and the Superman shadow behind him, has been out for months. If that image has been out for months, why would they just now release it? Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I'm telling you, this same image was shown right after the finale aired, on the UK Amazon website. This was on Supermanhomepage.com....."Warner Home Video has released artwork and details on the up-coming "Smallville" Season 10 DVD and Blu-ray release and Complete Series DVD set due out November 29, 2011." That tells me that it's official, but it still doesn't make sense and needless to say, I am highly disappointed if this is truly the final cover artwork.

[Ipodman]

Link to Blu-ray.com
http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6948

Well apparently that cape-on-wall thing is real...

[Webhead2006]

Personally I would have liked something like season 8 cover with lois and clark but maybe do a lois/clark/ollie cover, or a drawing cover like season nine but with red blur suit. Or as I saw on another board what if they took finale shirt rip scene and did a motionn/halographic cover.

[SpideyVille]

Maybe if we complain enough, they'll change it like they did with the Arkham City cover art. :awesome:

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Maybe if we complain enough, they'll change it like they did with the Arkham City cover art. :awesome:
Say wha? I missed that one.

[SpideyVille]

Say wha? I missed that one.
This was originally the cover for the game.
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/J-Rod_007/batman-arkham-city-box-art.jpg

But after getting enough complaints, it was suddenly removed and replace by this a week later.
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/J-Rod_007/arkham-big-517x600.jpg

[Prison Mike]

Why would people complain about the first cover art?

[SpideyVille]

Why would people complain about the first cover art?
Because they needed something new to complain about. :hehe:

But seriously, I think it was because of the black and white coloring and the lack of Catwoman. I like it, but I think there were a few better possibilities that they've could've went with.

[Prison Mike]

I don't see much of a difference between the two. The first one has a better view of Batman, in fact.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Either way, I can't wait for the game. I am definitely getting the collector's edition of the game because the figurine that comes with it, is SICK! Anyways, yeah the Smallville S:10 cover art is bogus! I still think it's a tentative cover. This "cover art" has been around since the finale aired. Why would they just now announce this as final?

THE COVER ART SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!

[DIRECTOR]

whats even worse is that it's Brandon Routh's shadow, not Welling in costume............ which is a slap to the face

[Ipodman]

Lol I didn't notice that...

so Smallville is in continuity with Superman Returns? O.O

[SpideyVille]

Lol I didn't notice that...

so Smallville is in continuity with Superman Returns? O.O
In a way, it actually is and isn't. Considering the show ended in a way that was to try to force it to fit into the original film mythos, and seeing how SR is a "vague" sequel to those films, the argument can be made that they are in the same continuity, despite the fact that Lois already knows he's Superman.

[Ipodman]

Well she must have bumped her head somewhere...

[Donut]

Wow that cover is more terrible then all of then all of the terrible posters from FOX

[Johnny]

Nothing unexpected from the CW. Still, I'm more interested in the content than I am in the cover.

[Prison Mike]

I think a simple \S/ logo on the cover would have worked perfectly. Anyway, I'm sort of inclined to get the complete series on DVD. I know it's not blu-ray, but I sold my box sets a few months ago and I don't think they will put this out on blu-ray anytime soon. They didn't even care enough to make some good cover art.

Well... I think their thinking is that - if you are going to buy it, you are going to buy it. No one is gonna be browsing through the dvd/bluray shelf at the store and go "wow, I have some free time tonight, I'm gonna watch season 10 of smallville!" :dry:

[Prison Mike]

Are you referring to the complete series not being on blu-ray? My understanding is that it would be too much money to spend on transferring the older seasons to 1080p. It's of course feasible if Smallville was more popular but I just don't think they want to spend that much money on a series that's already finished.

[SpideyVille]

For some reason, it's been a continuing trend with a lot of shows this season having crappy fan-made like cover art.

[Webhead2006]

Nice to hear about what's in the sets, still hate they useing that crap poster art for set cover.

As for the show it is not in line to any films/other things. Its it own thing. Always has been.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Nice to hear about what's in the sets, still hate they useing that crap poster art for set cover.

As for the show it is not in line to any films/other things. Its it own thing. Always has been.
I disagree. If the show was it's own thing, then why use the exact same exterior for the Fortress that was used in the movies? Jor-El still wore the white robe with the black shield. There were quite a few instances where it lined up with the movies. He ultimately wore the same suit that was used in the movies. Granted, that style of the suit (with different materials of course) has been the same in the comics for years, so I guess you really can't count that. I don't know, I guess there is a fine line.

[SpideyVille]

The show WAS its own thing for about 4-5 seasons. After that, it was pretty clear that they were being influenced more by the films than anything else. The only major differences is that Lois found out the secret early on and Lex is a businessman who is now in charge of what has become Lexcorp, as opposed to being some criminal in pursuit of beachfront property.

[Prison Mike]

The show went back and forth between being its own thing and following the comics. They killed off Jimmy yet allowed Lois to know Clark's secret before he became Superman. The show was schizophrenic.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Yeah, but that wasn't the real Jimmy. :oldrazz:

[Prison Mike]

Yeah, but that wasn't the real Jimmy. :oldrazz:

The whole thing with Henry James Olsen still pisses me off after all these years. :cmad:

And then they have Chloe and Oliver sleeping together in the same spot where Jimmy died. :csad:

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Oh man, I never thought about that. Now THAT is messed up!

[Sawyer]

That cover art looks rushed and sloppy..... Pretty much just like the finale! :rimshot::awesome:

But, seriously, they couldn't do better than that? :dry:

[Prison Mike]

That cover art looks rushed and sloppy..... Pretty much just like the finale! :rimshot::awesome:

But, seriously, they couldn't do better than that? :dry:

Which is sad because they had an entire year to plan it.

[Sawyer]

I'm willing to overlook alot of the things SV does that people consider ****ty, but the more I think about the final episode, the more it genuinely pisses me off. They had ten years to get there. On top of that, they had a full year knowing that this was the end. And on top of that, they had a two hour finale! And yet the entire Clark's first flight/Clark becomes Superman was done in the most ridiculous, sloppy, rushed five-minute scene I've ever witnessed. Shoot, I can even overlook them not giving us a full costume shot, because I liked the idea of the shirt rip at the very end, but the becoming Superman was just poor. Just awful.

[Webhead2006]

Warrior they did favor designs and stuff from reeve films and others along with various stuff from any era of comics. But it was its own unique thing.

[SpideyVille]

The whole thing with Henry James Olsen still pisses me off after all these years. :cmad:

And then they have Chloe and Oliver sleeping together in the same spot where Jimmy died. :csad:
I'm still mad that they forced Oliver to be with Chloe and not Dinah! :cmad:

Also, seeing how they handled the thing with Henry James' little brother taking over, I think it wouldn't have been so bad if they had decided that Jimmy's little brother takes over but uses the name as a tribute to his brother who he admired a lot, as opposed to completely trying to unsuccessfully fool the viewer into thinking that Jimmy wasn't really Jimmy.

[Prison Mike]

I will say kudos to the Smallville crew for bringing back Aaron for that small cameo in the finale. It was a nice surprise even if it didn't make a lick of sense (are we really supposed to believe that the little brother grows up to look exactly like Henry?).

[SpideyVille]

I'm more surprised that Aaron even decided to comeback in the first place. I know Witwer was very upset about his character's death, and I can only imagine that Ashmore was as well, considering he was supposed to be playing a major character in the Superman mythos.

[Sawyer]

I will say kudos to the Smallville crew for bringing back Aaron for that small cameo in the finale. It was a nice surprise even if it didn't make a lick of sense (are we really supposed to believe that the little brother grows up to look exactly like Henry?).

Of all the nonsensical things in the history of SV, that's the one you choose to take issue with?

[DIRECTOR]

i will buy this, but i'm definately peeved that it's brandon routh in costume...... geeezzz Welling, i would expect you to wear the suit and be eager to after 10 years?

[Ipodman]

Reminds me of that PhantomMenance too... yikes!

[SpideyVille]

Why must you bring that up! :cmad: :csad:

[Prison Mike]

Of all the nonsensical things in the history of SV, that's the one you choose to take issue with?

yeppers :o

[Kryptonian Warrior]

WTF? Bot?

[SpideyVille]

I just looked at some of the details of what extras are actually in the boxset, and I'm very disappointed that there's only 2 commentaries, especially since I know one of them is with Hartley about the episode he directed, Dominion. I don't know which is the other episode, but I can think of at least 5 or 6 episodes that deserve not only a commentary, but also one with the main characters.

[Superman2007]

I guess it was too much to expect the costume on the season 10 box-set.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y252/Superman2007/s10finalone.jpg

[Prison Mike]

That's basically Welling's head on Routh's costume. That would be worse than just using the shadow, IMO.

[SpideyVille]

I guess it was too much to expect the costume on the season 10 box-set.

I never expected to see Tom in the full suit, especially since thy didn't even show it on the show. What I was expecting/hoping for was something closer to this. A shirt rip, except in the style of the shirt that Tom wore in the last shot.

I've never done it before, but I think I might actually make my own custom cover, assuming the case is the same as the last 2 seasons.

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/J-Rod_007/SVS10dvd-2copy.jpg

I always wondered what the snake wrapped around Sam's arm meant?

[Orb]

I always wondered what the snake wrapped around Sam's arm meant?

The Devil.

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, it's supposed to represent the serpent from Adam and Eve, which is synonymous with the Devil. Or at least to hint that Sam is more on the evil side while Dean is on the Good side.

[BizarroAids]

Season 9 cover is still my favorite, but I do like the final season cover. Just maybe he should have had glasses?

Or they could have used a still from the shirt rip.

[tfn]

I guess it was too much to expect the costume on the season 10 box-set.



Turns out it was too much to expect it in season 10.

[Webhead2006]

Well who knows studio reasoning for covers and all that. Maybe it was some cheap jerk who had the call.

[The Incredible Hulk]

It's amazing the view of the World that some people have from inside the internet.

[Webhead2006]

Ya tom hasn't done a commentary on any set after like season three if he did any I don't recall. Around that time is when tom was more private and didn't do interviews/press for the show untill season 8/9 when he became producer.

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Well that sucks the restrospective is only on complete set I don't see why it wouldn't been on regular set too. Plently of room for it. Also sucks those are only episodes with deleted scenes/commentaries. Though can't wait to see the set anway.
My thoughts exactly! You can't tell me that there weren't any deleted scenes in the rest of the episodes, and especially the freaking series finale.

[Webhead2006]

Who knows maybe there was maybe there wasn't.

[Prison Mike]

You know, I can still watch the letters promo and the Canadian promo for the series finale and still get goosebumps. The anticipation for the finale was the best part. For the most part, I was satisfied with the way the series ended. I would have changed a few things here and there but it still left me with a smile on my face.

[Webhead2006]

ya oh well i am still going to get the sets to complete my collection of smallville. on a good note with the sets coming out in nov we should hopefully start seeing promos for it i would think in mid sept.

[Frontier]

It's total utter ******** to the people who've bought the show each season like myself that we're getting so boned on the extra features department now.

It's not bad enough that we have to wait until the ass-end of November unlike every other year when we got such by this week in August.

It's not bad enough the original DVD packaging for the first three seasons was so shotty that it broke with absolute minimal wear.

It's not bad enough that the packaging for seasons 4 through 7 is the lame cardboard 'accordion' style that also, as far as the 'teeth' the grip the center hole of the DVD is concerned, also break with minimal wear.

Nooooo, that's not bad enough.

Now in order for them to make the most for their money and put it for Holiday buying, we get screwed even more on both time and features.

All because we supported the show every god damn mother ****ing season individually instead of waiting an entire decade to buy the **** sucking DVD box set!!!!

...This actually has me more angry than Welling not putting on the ****ing suit like he was supposed to!

**** you, WB! **** you, CW!

Same here. Each time I watch the "One Second" clip that goes all the way to 10, I get chills. But the promos do the same.

[Hypestyle]

what about the entire season box set, when will that come out..

[Prison Mike]

that will come out the same date as season 10 dvd/blu-ray

[TheAQU4M4N]

I thought there was no blu-ray coming?

[SpideyVille]

The individual season boxset will be DVD and Blu-Ray, but not the Complete Series Boxset. That will just be DVD since they didn't want to bother converting the earlier seasons to Blu-Ray.

[Webhead2006]

Well its not they didn't want to bother converting the older seasons. It was to stupid technical reasons, and problem wbtv not wanting to get into the hole spending x amount of money and it doesn't come out good. Even though sv sets always sold extremely well.

[Prison Mike]

I don't buy the technical reasons being the issue. I think it's more of a financial issue. They probably don't want to spend the money on a show that is already over. As for the series selling really well...I don't think it sells well enough to spend the extra money and time on the conversion.

[SpideyVille]

I agree, and like I said, it's more that they don't want to as opposed to technical issues or anything else like that. Star Wars is old, but still has a really high fan base that will buy the Blu-Ray Trilogy, but Smallville was decent at best, with a not so great fan base. Some of that has to do with the poor promotion of the show, which has been made much more evident by the fact that the box set extras are minimal and the cover art looks like a cheap attempt to look symbolic made by some fan.

I liked the Son Becomes the Father featurette but I didn't like the way they were talking about Jor-El as if he was a heartless father. He was a computer. The real Jor-El was as warm and caring as Jonathan IMO. So I don't think it's right to compare a machine to a human father.

The final Dvd main menu

I think it's fitting that it has the Kent family farmhouse as the background image.
You know that's fan-made right?

[Webhead2006]

are you sure locke that it was fan made menu looked pretty real to me.

Also the commerical for dvd set was nice.

[vantheman77]

I enjoyed watching the Homecoming featurette with BTS stuff as it was one of the best episodes of the 10th season.

The deleted scenes with Clark wearing the red shield jacket should be put in there so that it would look like he wore the jacket more in this season than what was aired.

I heard that the finale is better viewed in blu-ray than regular HD viewing. :super:

[John Locke]

It is. I went onto the video on youtube and the description says that the clips and effects were provided by different users and its from September.

Also this is the real one: 5AKvk3uwQtg

[Sawyer]

I really hope someone uploads the featurettes from the complete series set to youtube... since those WB ****s decided to scam the people who've been buying the DVDs for the past nine seasons. :o

[TwilightPro101]

Can't believe we're finally less than a month away from the release of the box sets.

[Milos]

Love that Chloe is at the center on both covers!
Can't believe they removed Sam Witwer from season 8 pic, idiots!

[SpideyVille]

Wow, they actually did. I guess they figured it didn't make much sense to have a one-season character on the cover.

But man, I really want this collection, but I really have no reason to get it, and no money, unless I sell my boxsets.

[Prison Mike]

I still wish this was coming on blu-ray. :csad:

The fact that entire series isn't being released on Blu-Ray still bites my ass.... The fact that TV shows that pre-date Smallville by 10 years have been converted already really makes WB Home Video look bad (and cheap).

[Webhead2006]

Ya it sucks and you think with all the dough the show has made over the years that they would make more with bluray of full set.

Tom Welling: Five ‘Smallville’ co-stars who taught me most
Nov. 11, 2011 | 9:12 a.m.
Welling said veteran actor John Glover was a key influence. "As an actor, there's really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. The way he was able to come in with Lionel Luthor -- who was, literally, not supposed to stay around long -- and create so much, it was amazing. Whenever I was going to work with him, it really got me going. I knew it was always going to be interesting and great. I learned a great deal from him. He does a lot of homework before he gets to the set." (Jack Rowand/The CW)

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/11/11/tom-welling-five-smallville-co-stars-who-taught-me-most/luthor-8/
The complicated on-screen relationship between Lex Luthor and Clark Kent spilled over to the set. "Michael Rosenbaum playing Lex was huge," Welling says. "A fan favorite in every way, of course. He taught me a lot about what to do but he also taught me a lot about what not to do. He's such a dynamic actor and has these great comedic sensibilities. He's a very different person than his character and his ability to jump in and out -- literally at the snap of a finger -- amazed me. It taught me that I don't work that way and it did it in a good way. I learned about what I needed to do." (Jack Rowand/The CW)

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/11/11/tom-welling-five-smallville-co-stars-who-taught-me-most/finale-12/
Annette O'Toole and John Schneider played Martha and Jonathan Kent, the adoptive parents of the last son of Krypton -- and on the set they were also key figures for Welling as he learned to handle fame, stress and craft challenges. "Jonathan and Martha Kent were huge, not as an influence only on Clark's life but on the set and being mentors to me and being someone for me to learn from." (Jack Rowand/The CW; The WB)

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/11/11/tom-welling-five-smallville-co-stars-who-taught-me-most/ks-ca-1011-smallville-2/
In 2003, Christopher Reeve, the man who starred as Superman on the silver screen, created a ratings sensation when he appeared on "Smallville." Welling still gets emotional when he reflects on the encounter with the star, who had been paralyzed in a horse-riding accident. "At the top of the list is Christopher who came on the show as the Dr. Swann character. Beyond the show, it was such a phenomenal experience for me and for all of us. I'll never forget that." Reeve died in 2004. (Ken Regan/The WB)

In May, after 10 seasons, Tom Welling said goodbye to “Smallville” (and Metropolis) but loyal fans can revisit the world of Clark Kent, his friends, foes and lovers with the massive new collector’s DVD set that hits stores on Nov. 29. And we do mean massive — the super-sized collection costs $340 but has all 218 episodes and more than five hours of special features, all spread out over 62 discs. That’s right, 62 discs.
For Welling, now 34, the decade as the Man of Steel has defined his career and adult life.
“Even in the early days of the show, I approached it like I was in school and I was always going to be learning,” Welling said. “Luckily, we got people through the door who were creative and highly talented and the environment on the set was always very collective and open and warm. And I learned a lot, more than I can even say, really.”
We asked Welling to name the co-stars who taught him the most and he came up with five names right away. His answer are above in the photo gallery, be sure to click “CAPTIONS ON.”

The HD versions of seasons 1-5 exist though... they're on Amazon and iTunes.

[TheAQU4M4N]

Ya it sucks and you think with all the dough the show has made over the years that they would make more with bluray of full set.
I am still hopeful that they release it on Blu in a couple of years, with enough fan demand we could possibly get it.

[SpideyVille]

The HD versions of seasons 1-5 exist though... they're on Amazon and iTunes.
I remember when they aired the Pilot in HD. It really did look great.

[Prison Mike]

I don't think the HD on Amazon and iTunes is the same as 1080p blu-ray though.

[The Caped Knight]

I don't think the HD on Amazon and iTunes is the same as 1080p blu-ray though.

Not even close.

[Asteroid-Man]

Seriously!? Is it only 720?

[The Caped Knight]

Seriously!? Is it only 720?

Yes

[Webhead2006]

Yup from what i recall they were not true 1080p/i copies just upconverted 720 or lesser degree. I forget which. But that is the issue they said they wanted the show to be perfect and it would take to much time and money to have to upgrade things. Which still is a bs excuess. But it would be great in a few years time if they did do a another ultimate collection thing and upgraded the whole show.

[Prison Mike]

If they're not going to convert the entire series to blu-ray now, then I don't see them ever doing it. I don't think Smallville has the same fan demand as the Superman movies. They won't spend their time and extra money on something that only a few people want. I'm just going to go ahead and get the complete series DVDs.

I'm a little annoyed at the lack of features, but regardless, I'll still have the series as a whole. Once the final season is released.

I'm surprised they didn't attempt to release some sort of director's cut of the finale or the like.

[Webhead2006]

There probably wasnt much of a directors cut to the finale if anything probably just minor things trimmed for time and all that.

[HD_Dan]

Actually, there was some outtake footage from the finale that (unfortunately) didn't make it on either the Season 10 set or complete series box set.

From Brian Peterson:

"So, we wrote a couple of extra scenes with some of the Darkseid mythology with Granny and with Godfrey. That ended up not making it into the final because actually the original script did fit. So those might end up showing up on the DVD or something somewhere and they kind of fleshed out the story a little, but because they weren’t our main characters they were the first to go."

Source: http://www.daemonstv.com/2011/05/13/brian-peterson-and-kelly-souders-on-the-smallville-series-finale/

When Craig from K-Site reviewed the complete series set, he made note of what the set could have included (but doesn't). Here the part that refers to the finale:

"On a similar note, Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders mentioned prior to the airing of the "Finale" that things - including a lot of the Apokalips story - ended up on the cutting room floor."

Source: http://www.ksitetv.com/9730/advance-review-smallville-the-complete-series-dvd-set-arrives-1129/

Check the review for all the other material that might have made it onto the series set. It's an interesting read.

When reviewing the (U.K.) Season 10 Blu-ray set, David Bentley (Coventry Telegraph) has this to say:

"I have to admit that the extra features aren't as spectacular as I was anticipating. I had envisaged there might be a montage of the highlights of the 10 seasons, a reflection by other cast members on their character journeys, an interview with Welling on finally becoming Superman and a look at the many faces of Superman in TV and film. Any of those would have made this section much more fulfilling and helped give it a better send-off, especially considering that Smallville eclipsed Stargate SG-1 to become America's longest-running sci-fi show."

http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2011/11/blu-ray-review-smallville-the.html

Although I live in Canada, I ordered the region free Season 10 Blu-ray set from the UK (where it came out on Oct. 31st). The audio video quality is spectacular but the bonus material is sparse, especially for a final season set.

I'm looking forward to the 100 minute series retrospective that is included on the complete series set. I hear it's really impressive.

[Donut]

So they had better interesting stuff then a fake wedding. But cut it because the characters were not the main characters ? That is ****ing stupid. That just makes me hate the finale even more. I just may call that finale the worst finale of all time now

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, I really hate how the 100-minute retrospect is on the complete set only. I hate it even more since I was planning to see it at NYCC a few weeks ago but couldn't because a friend of mine made me wait for the Avengers panel instead, which turned out to be a waste of time since we didn't even get in.

[HD_Dan]

It's hard to justify why the outtakes weren't included on the Season 10 set, even in unfinished form. That, and the lack of a feature on the finale itself, speaks volumes.

[SpideyVille]

I'm pretty sure they stopped caring once the show was done. I mean from the cheap boxart cover, to the lack of special features on the DVD and with how the set is being released very late in the year, it seems like there wasn't a lot of importance placed on the series after the Finale ended.

[HD_Dan]

Yeah, I really hate how the 100-minute retrospect is on the complete set only. I hate it even more since I was planning to see it at NYCC a few weeks ago but couldn't because a friend of mine made me wait for the Avengers panel instead, which turned out to be a waste of time since we didn't even get in.

I'm conflicted on this too. I really want to pick up the series set but 99% of what's on there is redundant.

When it comes to release day, I don't know if I'll be able to "pull the trigger" (I have no doubt the retrospective will wind up on YouTube or MegaUpload). Knowing me, I might just pick the series set and keep it sealed for a while. :yay:

Sorry to hear about your experience at NYCC. I'd be pissed!

[Webhead2006]

It probably had to due with time and space on dvds and crap like that.

[Donut]

It probably had to due with time and space on dvds and crap like that.

They should have cut the ****** wedding instead of that other nicer sounding stuff

[TwilightPro101]

Being the last season, Warner Bros. should have at least given us something more than the usual fare. I'm all for the documentaries.

The lack of commentaries astounds me, but I'm not surprised.

Just wish they would have released the 100 minute retrospective on the stand alone final season.

[SpideyVille]

I would have appreciated at least one commentary with Tom. I mean, he hasn't done one since season 2, I believe.

[vantheman77]

Like I said, the first half of the finale was a waste when they put in the wedding that was not going to materialize.

I hope someone puts up the blu-ray screencap of the finale where Clark wears the suit because I hear it looks better in that format. :super:

[TwilightPro101]

I'm surprised Warner Bros. didn't attempt multiple covers or at least a tin box with an alternate design ala Best Buy's release for Season 8.

[Webhead2006]

Really if u want to complain on the sets. All we usually only had 2 to 3 episodes with commentaries, around 4 eps with deleted scenes(some good some bad), and then one or two featurettes reguarding guest villain/hero/theme of season. So what we have in tenth set is norm.

[SpideyVille]

The thing is the norm sucks, and it's really only been the norm since season 5/6. Plus, its the final season, so it should've been treated more importantly.

[Webhead2006]

Oh ya I am not saying it doesn't. I was just pointing out this is how the season sets have been.

[TwilightPro101]

Even if it has, which the later seasons have most definitely been. It doesn't take all that much effort to get a team together, get cast interviews during or post-production, and edit them together. It's even less work, when it comes down to doing audio commentaries.

I mean, there are shows, where there are commentaries on every single episode.

I haven't gotten the last season of The Office, but I remember being vey upset at how the last two seasons had commentaries that only featured people like the caterer and sound technician. Those kind of commentaries I can do without, but at least there's some effort put into that.

Thanks for sharing those photos.
Love all those Chloe pics, she has more than other girls!
Can't wait to get my set!

[TwilightPro101]

Digging the images, that they chose for the set.

[Ultimatehero]

Yeah, I really hate how the 100-minute retrospect is on the complete set only. I hate it even more since I was planning to see it at NYCC a few weeks ago but couldn't because a friend of mine made me wait for the Avengers panel instead, which turned out to be a waste of time since we didn't even get in.

My hope is that someone manages to get it online. Various DC & Marvel documentaries have leaked over the years. Hoping for same scenario.

[Prison Mike]

So I guess this is where we are now...in the Misc. TV Series Zone!

[SpideyVille]

We got evicted and I didn't get a chance to pack my stuff. :(

[Webhead2006]

Hmm I thought the mods said the sv section was going to remain as it was and just moved to a new number placement?????

[John Locke]

I thought we were going to the Superman boards?

[SpideyVille]

This was probably the more peaceful solution. Putting this in the Superman board would've been like throwing us all into a tank full of sharks.

[Webhead2006]

Ya I recall the mods saying sv section would be the same and moved into one of the misc superman board catagories. I wonder what happened. Also they said it wouldn't happen to after dvd release which is a week away.

[SV Fan]

They/we probably should find one thread and make it the general all purpose Smallville thread

[Prison Mike]

I thought we would get a subforum in the Superman boards...not just one thread in the Misc. TV Series section. :csad:

[Webhead2006]

oh well it sucks the sv boards are over but at least we can still discuss things. Actually mike if you go through the pages here you can find a few of the other threads from sv board that were were discussing things as of late like the rewatch thread, the tom/erica/laura threads and a couple others. But ya like i said i recall the sticky thread and a email from one of the mods saying it would stay up to the dvd is released and it would be its own section just under a new numbered area. So I do wonder why we didnt get a sub forum spot in superman catagories in one of the sub forums there.

[TwilightPro101]

R.I.P. Smallville forum.

As for the box set, I'm beyond eager to get my copy. I've had it pre-ordered since July from Amazon.com.

[Prison Mike]

So it looks like we're all grouped together in this one thread. I like it better than all the threads in random order in the Misc. TV section.

[Webhead2006]

Ya probably would be best to tie all the loose smallville threads moved here into the misc to one standard thread.

[The Incredible Hulk]

Ya I recall the mods saying sv section would be the same and moved into one of the misc superman board catagories. I wonder what happened. Also they said it wouldn't happen to after dvd release which is a week away.


There was an announcement at the top of the forum saying that for over a month. Not sure what changed? But this kind of sucks, considering that for a almost a decade, it was one of the more popular forums on the Hype.

Superman Returns is long dead, and most in the SV forum had made their peace with things and were fine with Cavill. If they had fears about flame wars due to the old Welling/Routh days, I'm not sure they were well-founded.

[Webhead2006]

Maybe we should ask some of the mods to see if we get an answer to what happened. I don't see why it couldn't have become a sub forum over in one of the superman subforums.

[HD_Dan]

Here a comprehensive review of the Smallville Complete Series set:

http://www.dvdauthority.com/6732

Sounds good. The only thing that concerns me based on the scans posted earlier on this thread is whether the packaging (cardboard holders) will result in disc damage.

There was an Avengers set (in the U.K.) that had a similar construct. Impressive looking packaging but not very practical in the long term - many had problems with it:

http://www.filmchronicles.com/the-avengers-complete-dvd-collection/

(Check the amazon link for reviews about the packaging)

[darkzombiemutt]

wth? 10 years and they dump the Smallville forum, and hide a single thread in a Misc TV? At least put it in the Superman subgroup. DISLIKE. Misc. implies that its not a Superman show.

[Hypestyle]

I wonder will this be standard dvds only or a blu-ray set?

[SpideyVille]

The complete series is DVD only. The season 10 will be both in DVD and blu-ray sets.

[hippie_hunter]

Maybe we should ask some of the mods to see if we get an answer to what happened. I don't see why it couldn't have become a sub forum over in one of the superman subforums.

Same reason why Superman: The Animated Series, Superboy, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Adventures of Superman, and various other Superman TV shows don't have their own subforum.

[Webhead2006]

Ok but i recall the other mods in the smallville board said it was going to be left as it just moved over into a superman subforum.

That doesnt fly. Everyone of those shows began and ended well before the Hype even existed, and never had a sub-forum to begin with. Smallville just ended 6 months ago and had an avid following on this site for almost a decade. Not to mention, the final season DVD hasn't even been released yet.

Per the mod note that was at the top of the Smallville forum for over a month, the Smallville forum was supposed to remain where it was until the DVD came out, and then the forum was to be put under the Superman forum. Now suddenly over a week before the DVD even comes out, the forum just up and disappeared, and we're left with one crappy thread in the misc. TV forum. That's why people are asking these questions about what happened? Maybe Mirko can step out from behind the curtain and let us know why? I think we'd deserve at least that, after patronizing the site/forums for nearly 10 years.

Why not have a Misc Superman TV under the Superman banner? Seriously, Smallville and Lois And Clark have no business being grouped with Glee, it makes no logical sense from a user perspective.

[SpideyVille]

I'm guessing they don't consider it a "Superman" show since he technically only had a cameo if you're going by the name and costume.

[Webhead2006]

it may be but its still technically a superman show. But ya we were told it would be moved to superman area so it is a bit dishearting to not see that happen and reduce to one thread here.

[Dangerman]

Then instead of complaining why not just start a thread in the Superman World forum called The official Smallville thread and discuss Smallville stuff there. Then Smallville will be apart of the Superman forum and everybody gets what they want.

[Prison Mike]

The mods will just redirect that thread back here. I think we should just be thankful that they gave us a thread in the first place.

[Dangerman]

No they wont unless you see people start to complain from either the Smallville thread being apart of the forum or people feel like they are being harassed or feel there should be more dedicated to the show. If you just start the thread and keep it down they will not care. Hell you might get away with more then one thread seeing how dead the Super-World forum is. Just give it a try and it is still there by the end of the week you have nothing to worry about.

[torch1980]

The cover will be of Chloe...holding two guns.


lol

The actual cover will have a big superman s in the background with chloe and two guns on the left side, lois looking like she is "investigating" on the right side oliver will be in the middle,tess will be there but she will be so small you wont even notice her really, lionel and lex will have the same treatment as tess clark will have on his blue and red outfit on he will be on the right top side with a superman shadow in the back, john and martha kent will be on the opposite side of clark and in the middle and biggest picture outta all of them will be Lana Lang in her "krypto suit" in a "xena warrior" type pose...

That basically sums up smallville from season 1 to 10

Can someone make this cover art, it sound awesome! :awesome:

[Johnny]

Hulk's points cover it all. I think we deserve a better explanation.

[DrCosmic]

The Hype can be biased sometimes, but compressing Smallville's presence on the forums when it hasn't even been off a year is a bit much. If the cancelled Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon can get its own X-Men subforum, I really don't see how Smallville qualifies by "miscellaneous."

[Superfreak]

whers the waaaambulance?

Yeah, this sucks...

I just come over to wish all the old superpeeps a happy turkey day only to get this error:


Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator (http://www.superherohype.com/contact.php)


color me unhappy.

:(

The messaging before this was that all the threads were going to remain, just be moved.

The explanation doesn't really make much sense.

[Young Superman]

This show will be missed. The casting on this show for the most part was great.

[Sam Fisher]

Edit

[Sawyer]

Maybe that's just for the Spanish release. Considering that the packaging for Supernatural was the same as it has been, it would seem odd for them to do this.

But, then. Considering how they short-changed us with the features, it wouldn't surprise me.

[Sam Fisher]

Yeah, I didn't notice that at first. Stupid me:doh:

[Webhead2006]

I too hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. Hopefully some of the other mods will give us a better reasoning on the change.

[lespaul59]

A funny thing that happens to me is when I have to miss an episode on HD Net or TNT and I'm like man I reall want to watch that episode. But then I realize I have seasons 1-9. I also find myself checking the program guide to see when certain episode are coming on.

[cronosred]

Looks like Best Buy is going to have a complete series set that comes with an exclusive Clark Kent figurine, from the photo of their online weekly ad he's going to be wearing the season 10 red leather jacket and blue jeans outfit. And season 10 will come with a Daily Planet t-shirt

[sethypants]

im gonna miss this show.

[Webhead2006]

man that sounds sweet.

I'm getting Season 10 with the shirt. The shirt with Season 9 was a pretty well made shirt so hopefully this is too.

[SpideyVille]

I didn't really like the season 9 shirt. It was too big on me.I usually wear medium but I could try to pull off a large, but definitely not an XL.

[TwilightPro101]

Just pre-ordered from Best Buy for the shirt.

Digging the action figure, that comes with the complete series.

[Webhead2006]

did any one watch laura V abc family christmas film that was on tonight.

[Prison Mike]

Not even her hotness can make me watch that piece of crap. :o

[John Locke]

I wish I had as strong a will as you Prison Mike but she is the reason I started watching Smallville religiously. I caught the rerun that was on after the first showing ended. It was pretty bad. The best part was when she told the guy she didn't think they could be together because she was from the wrong planet. (Metaphorically)

[lespaul59]

I watched Laura's movie also and about an hour and fifteen minutes in I was like man this has 45 minutes left. I feel the same about this movie as I do about most made for TV Christmas movies. If they where half as long they would be better movies.

[Sawyer]

The t-shirt looks okay, but i'm not that impressed. I think I'm just going to get mine at Target. It'll be six bucks cheaper there.

[Webhead2006]

I didnt watch it all myself either, caught a few bits here and there between watching once upon a time, and walking dead/amazing race. IT was pretty so so for cheesy abc telemovie.

[The Incredible Hulk]

cool action figure, but I'm sure they'll be on eBay 2 days from now. 62 DVD's? :rolleyes:

[SpideyVille]

I think I'm going to wait a while before getting the season 10 boxset. For some reason I don't feel the same need to own the season like I felt in seasons past. But if my brother decides to get the complete set from Best Buy, that action figure better be mine.

[Webhead2006]

Yes its 62 discs for the complete series. That is 6 discs per season plus 2 discs for additional stuff.

[The Incredible Hulk]

Sort of ridiculous for those of us with Blu-Ray, who own the early seasons on DVD, to buy that many damn new DVD's.

[Milos]

My complete series set is on its way, can't wait!

E! Online has posted an exclusive look at some behind-the-scenes footage from the Smallville Retrospective featurette found on the Smallville: The Complete Series boxset.

[John Locke]

Just got Season 10 with the Daily Planet shirt from Best Buy. The shirt is a large but I think I can make it work. I'm probably not going to watch it until atleast two weeks from now. Since I'm halfway through Season 1. (Started Sunday so I wouldn't be tempted to get the Complete Series)

[Sawyer]

And my collection is complete. :up:

[Webhead2006]

I hope to pick up copy in next few days. Been busy last two days with work.

[The Caped Knight]

I got my copy of the complete series boxset as well as the Season 10 dvd to complete my SMALLVILLE Collection . I love the Retrospective featurette it really is a nice fan farewell and it really summarizes the series well. The Daily Planet newspaper from "Homecoming" is an awesome souvenir .

[TwilightPro101]

Still waiting on Best Buy to get my copy here. I'd wager it'll be here by Friday.

[Prison Mike]

I think I will wait a while until the price drops down.

[LostSon88]

Same here...

[SpideyVille]

Ditto

[Sam Fisher]

I haven't payed full price for a season since S6.

Seriously these two look so adorable as Lois and Clark, Tom dressed in the Red and Blue and Erica in the red dress. I fully support Henry and Amy in the upcoming Man of Steel reboot film. But in my heart Erica and Tom will forever be my one and only definitive Lois and Superman for all time .

So how was the series set retrospective. Also where all featurettes/delete scenes apart of all seasons discs.

[The Caped Knight]

So how was the series set retrospective. Also where all featurettes/delete scenes apart of all seasons discs.

I thought the retrospective was very well put together . I wish it was available as a "Play all" rather than a select .

Season 1: Remaining Clark Kent
Season 2: The Ultimate Adopted Child
Season 3: Facing the Darkness
Season 4: Lois Lane
Season 5: End of Innocence
Season 6: A World of Superheroes
Season 7: No Turning Back
Season 8: Reinvention
Season 9: The Dark Story of Zod
Season 10: Destiny Fulfilled

The previous season features are just like they were when they released in the individual dvd set the only difference is the disc art replaces the character image with Kryptonian symbols.

[Webhead2006]

Ah ok thanks a bunch i just wanted to know what they did to former seasons featurettes and all that.

[Frontier]

Anyone found a deal on season 10 yet? Past two or three seasons, the week they came out Target had them for $18-21. I doubted they would do such with the final season and they don't seem to have (judging from on-line) but... anyone know of such?

[Prison Mike]

I've never seen a new season costing $18-21 during the week it comes out. Maybe the season prior to that one, but never the latest season. I think you would have to wait a year (maybe next Black Friday) for that kind of deal on season 10.

[Webhead2006]

if you want to get a deal on complete/season sets got to wait to xmas deal probably.

[Prison Mike]

I doubt there will be a deal so soon after the release. I'm going to wait until next year to get it when the price drops. I don't have that burning feeling to get the new season like I used to. I hardly even watch the Smallville reruns on TNT.

[Webhead2006]

never know there could be some deals at different stores. Might not be much then maybe a 10$ discount.

[Sith Scotti]

I haven't payed full price for a season since S6.
just about when the show went down hill and turned into Lois & Cklark part 2

[TwilightPro101]

Received my copy today. Along with "The Krypton Companion" and "The Superman Chronicles, Volume One."

[The Caped Knight]

just about when the show went down hill and turned into Lois & Cklark part 2

First off, The show went down hill in Season 6 with the whole Lex and Lana marriage and the still nagging Clark, lana & Lex love triangle .

Season 7 had Kara coming to town and the end of Clana

Season 8 the show got revitalized with new energy where it transformed from Smallville to Metropolis and the beginning of Superman and Lois and Clark partnership and romance,

Season 9, Lois and Clark relationship beings to blossom into a true and passionate romance . Also The beginning of the dual identity and embracing his kryptonian heritage .

Season 10, Destiny Fulfilled

[SpideyVille]

I would say the show kinda went downhill mid-season 5 after Jonathan's death and the Lexana arc.

Season 6 wasn't great with whiny Clark continued.

Season 7 was interesting, and kinda gets a pass because of the strike that messed up the second half.

Season 8 was a surprise with how they recovered from the departure of two main leads, but sort of ended on a disappointing note because of the Chloe/Doomsday story where suddenly Chloe was this amazing character. Not to mention Oliver was a regular but reduced to self-pity as opposed to cool action stuff as the Green Arrow.

Season 9 was simply awesome with the Lois/Clark stuff as well as Zod.

Season 10 was a mixed bag.It was good, but didn't really step it up to the next level since there was so much that was stuffed in.

[Sawyer]

I think season 10 was far better than season 9.

Overall, I'd say the latter half of season 5 and most of season 6 was the low point of the series.

[SpideyVille]

I'm still bitter about no suit Welling. :o

At least season 9 had the black trenchcoat.

[Sawyer]

Eh. We got a shirt-rip. More than that would've been nice, but I didn't mind it.

What I did despise is how they handled flight. Quite frankly, he should've been flying for the entire season. :o
