Sorry this review is so late. My home Internet access
is still out of commission (and will be for at least a
week), so I won’t be posting things (including
tomorrow’s DVD column and Saturday movie review) at
the regular times, though I’ll try to at least get the
right day. I’m also without my templates, so this may
not look quite like it normally looks.

Smallville’s back, if not with a bang, at least with a
loudish snap.

Well, that was an unexpected conclusion, but a damn
good one.

The first episode of sweeps just isn’t as good as the
ones from a few weeks ago.

Sorry about the lateness of this review; yesterday’s
management meeting ran quite late, and I couldn’t
watch it until today.

No, I do not reveal who dies, though I expect the
comments will repeatedly. If you want to know before
comments are posted, watch the episode, or read this
interview.

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?

New episodes continue. Can next week live up to the
ad campaign surrounding it?

DC asserts that its All-Star line has been created to present their most iconic characters in their purest, most familiar form, unfettered by current continuity. All-Star Batman raised a few eyebrows and objections with its depiction of Batman. Many felt that Frank Miller’s Batman didn’t deliver as promised.

All-Star Superman is another matter

Smallville is also back from the winter
