Here is hoping that we do get some intrigue on Smallville with Metallo infiltrating Clark's life and more nods to the character's more clandestine beginnings.

    Also this is the season where they are finally promising ZOD. It will be interesting to see where they go with that. I have to admit I would love to see some of the Firefly guys filling out those roles. Nathan Fillion as Zod (he was really good as the season 7 bad guy on Buffy), Adam Baldwin as Non, and heck, since we're casting Terminator leftovers anyways... Summer Glau as Ursa.

            My first Superman comics...




            This Superman cover by Neal Adams pretty much flew off the stands and jumped me, knocking the copy of Spidey Super Stories out of my hands in the process.

              The Metallo on the Superboy series was probably the goofiest interpretation I've seen, he looked like a 40s mobster.

                  ^ John Corben, he just ain't right,
                  He's a 90210 leftover, with a heart of Kryptonite,
                  And Metall-o, with rays of green,
                  He fights and he fights, but it's all off screen!

                  Amazing stunt casting!
                  Smallville,
                  Lame stunt casting,
                  SMA-ALL-VILLE!!!

                  Sorry, I couldn't resist. Honestly, he doesn't look bad.

                    I'm getting real tired of Kryptonite being in every episode keeping Clark from kicking butt. I mean, money made with Kryptonite ink. Come on now.

                      They really have run out of the Super Villain A-list here, unless they decide that Darkseid's showing up. I mean Zod is FINALLY going to show up. They have done Luthor, Brainiac, Doomsday, even Myx.

                      Metallo's definitely a solid B-lister. What do we have left before this show runs it's course? Prankster? Terra Man? Master Jailer?

                      It's unfortunate that Superman's never really had as great a rogue's gallery as Batman or Flash.

                        Good thing it wasn't on ABC like Lois & Clark or we might've had Drew & Mimi in an episode.
                        I don't think they've done Toyman yet, have they? If they did I forgot.
                        Think Krypto will ever show up? (the real one. I seem to recall a dog episode a few seasons back but it wasn't Krypto)

                          Toy Man showed up last season, it was Winslow Schott.

                            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                              I'm sure you're right but I'm drawing a blank on the episode. Must not have been very memorable.
                              They should get Teri Hatcher to do an episode before the series ends.

                                Given the fact that Desperate Housewives is still going strong over on ABC, I don't think we'll be seeing Teri Hatcher on Smallville any time soon, particularly on the heels of accolades such as Golden Globes and Emmy's.

                                It was nice to see Dean Cain, Linda Carter, Margot Kidder, et al, but do you really think any of them would have done it if they were still on top in a hugely popular prime time series?

                                I would love to see Adam West on Smallville though. I mean it might have made a startling contrast if they had cast him as Toyman given his amicable public persona.
