Season 6 speculation

[AgentPat]

I like the stuff about lex, but the rest doesn't look very good. I hope lois gets interested in journalism and clark starts using his powers like a superhero in training, maybe hearing someone in trouble and rushing to the rescue, he never uses super-hearing like that in the show.

Well YEAH! Anything along those lines. I've got no problem with further exploration of Lex - the way I see it, the show is just as much about him as it is Clark - but jeeze! Could Gough have given us just a wee bit more to base some anticipation on? And this whole thing about corruption? So what's that mean? Are they gonna make us hate Martha now too? Bad enough they ruined Lana...

Oh, and the possibility of bringing on yet another guest actor as a love interest for Chloe? GAH!!! Didn't they learn from Jason that just doesn't work? Fans want to see stories based around the core cast, especially ones that involve long arcing relationship themes.

*sigh*

I'm disappointed about that interview, but I gotta go to work. I'll mull this later.

Hmmm Lexs Rise to Power

Clark will mostly be changed from being in The Phantom Zone. I am sure he will come out as Kal El or something like that. Then bam Chloe will return Clark back to normal Martha getting corrupted. Chloe getting a Boy Friend. Lana is still Lana. If they keep doing the same old same old this could very well be the last Season I guess Smallville will be one of those Shows. Start good end crappily & it is getting up to the point when even the die hard fans are getting annoyed. Not looking good. I guess after 5 Years they really are running out of ideas.

 

[R_9]

They shouldn't be running out of ideas, they still could make clark travel the world to learn from other cultures, if they are giving us the same things all over again is because they are getting lazy

But I still have hope.

 

[Kaboom]

f theres one thing weve learned bot smalville, it is that the writers are indeed lazy with their constant re-hashinof old plots

 

[Strgts]

Thing is how long can they keep doing the same things over & over again ? Like AgentPat said it is bad enough they ruined Lana & now they want to completely twist & turn Martha freaking Kent & have her let herself get corrupted ? Not a good examble for the guy who one day becomes Superman. With Zod, Braniac this is getting into Huge Superman Territory here but they seem to want to go BACKWARDS instead of FORWARDS once Zod & Braniac are taken care of & this will hurt the Show. If things really do go the way they are planning now for Season 6 Vessel should have been the Series Finale This is how I think they will resolve things

A) Clark returns as Kal El

B) Kal El joins up with Zod, Braniac

C) Kal El being the selfish bastard that he is will eventually betray Zod & Braniac so Kal El Himself can be in control. Kal El will find & destroy the Ship & the Braniacs & eventually he will send Zod's Spirit back into The Phantom Zone

D) Lion-El comes in to give Kal El a good smacking & with the help of Chloe & Black Kryptonite they will bring Clark back

E) Lion-El will revive & save Lex

F) Clark when he was Kal El finds out where Martha & Lois is so Clark will eventually go save them

& tada things are back to normal

Well Martha was Lana before she was Martha so maybe they just hate Lana that much.

 

[R_9]

Maybe they are going for this stupid storyline because they want to drag the series to a seventh season and they don't know what else to do...

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

The whole synopsis sounds whack. The theme of the season is the rise of Lex Luthor? Nothing about Lois? Nothing about Daily Planet or Metropolis. And the only thing about Clark is an inference that he'll come out of the PZ with a chip on his shoulder like some wrongly convicted ex prison incarceree?

The hell?

NONE of that stuff interests me.

OK Fanboy, who are you and what have you done with Pat?

Seriously, it's one interview, the guys dont even start writing the season for another 3 weeks, as Gough said himself, what they think in April doesnt always turn out to be so come June. Plus, Gough's not going to spill everything he has up his sleeve....

 

[R_9]

I hope that's the case, I really want to see clark getting closer to his destiny.
And Martha can't be corrupted

For God's sake, she is superman's mom

 

[The Caped Knight]

TV Guide: One thing that struck me was when Jor-El told Clark that Zod destroyed Krypton. That seems a departure from traditional Superman mythology.
Gough: The idea was that on Krypton — and we'd like to explore some of this in Season 6 — Zod was the ultimate terrorist. He and Jor-El were once friends and became enemies. As a result, there was a breakaway. It has more to do with political intrigue rather than that the planet started spinning too close to the sun, which has always sort of been the traditional story.


TV Guide: What about Clark and Chloe? That was some kiss. She's had a rough time of it already — you can't make him break her heart again! Might they be a couple next season?
Gough: I think there's always that possibility. That was to show the potential that that could happen. Or, it could just be a Hawkeye-Hot Lips "in the heat of battle" thing. [Laughs]


TV Guide: Well, if it doesn't work out with Clark, then give her a boyfriend next season!
Gough: That's in the cards. That is definitely in the cards.

TV Guide: Anything else you can tease about Season 6?
Gough: The theme is the rise of Lex Luthor. You're definitely going to see the more ruthless Lex Luthor you know from the comic books really start to emerge. The season will also be about the corruption of good — not only Lana, but Martha. Will she get involved with Lionel? And when Clark does come back from the Phantom Zone, what will it have done to him? We never really explored what happens to somebody inside the Phantom Zone, which is really the ultimate incarceration

OH for the love of Pete, this is the same Bull**** from the other past seasons.

NONE of this stuff interests me. Season 6 should be the season you focus on bringing Lois, Clark & Lex closer to their DESTINY. not reusing the same Bull**** storylines from the other past seasons .

Oh my God, someone hacked into Pats Screen Name.

 

[AgentPat]

^ Oh c'mon you guys! LOLOLOL

OK Fanboy, who are you and what have you done with Pat?

Yeah, I pretty much came to that (hopeful) conclusion on my "long" five-minute commute to work (LOL) this morning. Quiet time in the car, doncha know?

There's a few points that I guess should be considered, first and foremost is that it's not even Memorial Day yet. Gough said the writers convene post the holiday, so accusing them of being lazy for the upcoming season is definitely premature - we'll have to wait and see if that assessment is accurate when the season actually starts LOL.

In terms of having a theme for the season, the one going into S5 was awesome: Superman in training. Despite what some people felt, I thought the writers did a great job of delivering that promise through ideas and concepts. Too many people were expecting it to have a more literal meaning, and hence were disappointed. If S6 plays out like S5 in delivery of theme, then viewers should expect Lex's rise to power to be a more conceptual one than one of deeds. IE: Don't expect to see him drowning puppies and blowing up school yards. Evil Lex will be one of manipulation and psyche, which works for me.

But gosh darnit, I want to know what the theme is for Clark? This whole thing about exploring what happens to somebody inside the Phantom Zone doesn't cut the mustard for an entire season, and certainly not one that could potentially be the LAST season.

I'm hoping they elaborate more on SV at the upfronts shortly. They usually get Welling at these events to wow the press too, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[avidreader]

^^^^ That's more like it.

He hasnt really committed one way or an other with regards to Clark, just that his time in the PZ would have an effect on him. It could mean that he meets his father in there in some way, and we see Clark then getting closer to his father and all things Krypton for the remainder of the season. Gough does mention something about Krypton.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

How can a few hours effect him. This isn't OZ were talking about I mean if I am right he should spend no more then two hours there then come back and save Smallville again.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

OH for the love of Pete, this is the same Bull**** from the other past seasons.

so the "rise of Lex Luthor" isnt Lex getting closer to his destiny?

relax nerds, theyre not going to ignore Clark, that should go without saying,

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Also rumor has it TW is suppose to be at the premire of the new movie

Spoiler

Superman Returns

is that true.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I'd liken a couple hours in the PZ to a couple hours in hell. Sure it's just a couple of hours, but it REALLY SUCKS there

Plus, doesnt time work differently in the PZ?

depends on which time period we're talking about with time in the PZ Pre-Crisis yes it did. Post no it didn't as well as S:TAS it didn't.

 

[AgentPat]

Also rumor has it TW is suppose to be at the premiere of SR [edited to remove silliness] is that true.

I love how rumors just pop out of nowhere.

Whereja hear that, Tony? Not saying it aint true, but I'd like to know where you got the idea before speculating further on its probability.

Oh it is popping up in other forums so I am just wondering since it sounds pretty reasonable since well he does play Clark Kent. So I was just wondering since this board seems to act like they know all about TW. Also why wouldn't he I mean its not like he is bitter or something over the role?

 

[AgentPat]

Honestly, I don't have the time to look. Are people just speculating, or are you quoting an actual news source? That's all I'm asking.

So I was just wondering since this board seems to act like they know all about TW...

Condescend much?

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

people just speculating I guess. Just was wondering though

 

[AgentPat]

people just speculating I guess. Just was wondering though

Ah, well then I'd say until a legitimate news source says otherwise, it's probably a safe bet to presume he won't be there. Just my opinion. I've been wrong before - many times in fact.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Wel I would ask why wouldn't he since it is kind of expected of him to show but I would not get an honest answer or a serios talk about it. Anyways this season sounds alittle better if it is more about Lex because IMO Lex is the show and I feel it would be nice to see Lex at work being evil.

You're creating controversy where none exists. Ditch all the rumors you've heard about Welling and ask yourself something. When he's not working, what's he usually do in the summer? He vacations with his family. I doubt he'd want to trade THAT kind of quality time - during the Fourth of July weekend no less - to be at some film premiere in Los Angeles. He's got three months out of the year to put distance between himself and all things Superman. What would you do? Personally, I'd want to be left alone and not have to face a gauntlet of press, but that's just me.

Anyways this season sounds alittle better if it is more about Lex because IMO Lex is the show and I feel it would be nice to see Lex at work being evil.

If that's what it takes for you and others to be a little more positive about SV, hallelujah!
