Smallville Season 6?

GrimSean
writes, Although I had thought that the plan was
to end Smallville with the current fifth
season, according to an interview that Televisionwithoutpity.com did with Al Gough, they seem to be planning a
sixth season (right here on page two).
With the upcoming deaths of major characters – not to
mention the complete turn to the Darkside for Lex – is
there really any point in continuing with
Smallville? There’s already been a
Superboy show, Lois and Clark covered
the Superman years (as did Christopher Reeves’
movies), so would there really be anything left for
them to cover? I’ve enjoyed this show for the unique
view it gave of Clark Kent’s formative years (not to
mention Allison Mack), and I respected the fact that
they had planned to only run for five years, but now
I’m not so sure.
 I think that the thousands of comics with the
character show that stories can still be told. The
real question is, with Miller and Gough spending more
time in Florida on Aquaman, who will be the
person “on the ground” for Smallville?

Invasion Discussion: “Redemption”

Underlay subconsciously drifts between the past and the present after he is shot by an unknown intruder, re-living the 1996 plane crash that led to his “rebirth.” Meanwhile, knowing that his wife and unborn child’s life will be on the line, Russell must stop Larkin from reporting the truth about the hybrids.

Olympos

Olympos is no more the sequel to Ilium than Return of the King is a sequel to The Fellowship of the Rings and The Two Towers; rather, these books by Dan Simmons tell parts of one story. I highly recommend these to fans of SF who also enjoy classical mythology.

Disney buys Pixar

octa
writes, Just when we all thought Pixar was free of
Mickey’s clutches they walk right back into the
lion’s den:

story.

This makes me sad :( I’m willing to give an
Eisnerless Disney a chance to win me over, mainly
because of the amount of pre-Eisner Disney material
they made that I love. I’d like to see that glory
return. If Pixar is willing to deal with them, then
something must have changed for the better inside the
company.
