Is that wrong or what?! <br /><br />...<br /><br />Now, back to the episode: Is it me or are they making Jor-El sound like a complete douche?<br /><br /> Either way Laura And Erica were great in the episode... I'm a bit peeved Ollie stole Iron Man's line, though.<br /><br />Btw, "Homecoming" was a great "Clois" episode. Very brief shots of Clark being an "uptight-nerdy" guy with his hair gelled back and the glasses on... but it's a great one either way. Lois even had a shirt rip gesture when Clark hopped into the elevator. ^_^<br /><br />-ealperinealperinhttp://ealperin@livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-19772503146245666412010-10-17T20:02:00.468-04:002010-10-17T20:02:00.468-04:00given the recent Supes/bats dvd and the refusal to...given the recent Supes/bats dvd and the refusal to market it as a supergirl dvd, I can't see the producers building the season finale around Kara(possessed or not). I just can't.<br />i also think they will want a different version of events to other supergirl media, so i don't reckon she'll get possessed by darkseid.<br /><br />so erica durance gets put in pvc again? bloody hell, what did she do to become the only lady on that show who routinely gets dressed up for the male viewers? I love ms durance i think she's beautiful, but some of the cosutmes they've put her in are ludicrous.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66719444853728875442010-10-14T01:18:02.639-04:002010-10-14T01:18:02.639-04:00I don't think Kara will end up possessed by Da...I don't think Kara will end up possessed by Darkseid. <br /><br />My hope is that in the Series finale, Darkseid possesses Sam Lane, (and thus returning Micheal Ironside to his rightful role as DARKSEID) and procceeds to clobber the heroes of Earth. On the streets of Metropolis, the members of the Justice League and the Justice Society lie battered and defeated, and Kara is at the mercy of a Darkseid's hands around her throat!! And just when all hope seems lost, enter Tom Welling in the Superman suit, challenging Darkseid ala Superman/Zod in Superman 2 (General, would you care to step outside?).JPHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-81656578568007773232010-10-13T06:43:35.957-04:002010-10-13T06:43:35.957-04:00Thanks for all the posts.
I think I am in a '...Thanks for all the posts.<br /><br />I think I am in a 'glass is half-empty' mode right now so it is good to hear that some of you think my 'Supergirl will be the enemy' thought is outrageous. Hopefully you are right.<br /><br />I do think that Laura Vandervoort channels Kara nicely and seems to have the spirit that you need to pull off the character. I hope we haven't seen the last of her in the role.<br /><br />Smallville I think has realized that it's core audience is comic collectors now as they have tried to jam in as much DC stuff as they can recently (the new gods stuff obviously, but the suicide squad, deadshot, cat grant, etc .. and that's just this season). But it is very 'Elseworlds' so I think that it can both delight and aggravate comic fans to see that stuff.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-20296650186232465332010-10-12T22:29:42.987-04:002010-10-12T22:29:42.987-04:00I was kinda disappointed at the fact that they did...I was kinda disappointed at the fact that they didn't give her more screen-time and the fact that they didn't use the movie theme at the end. I also didn't like the whole darkseed being a bunch of crows that goes around possessing people.It would have made sense if his goons we already on earth in secret.Come on Smallville writers,get it right!<br /><br />I did like that she went to go search for Argo/Kandor(which i really hate that they change her birthplace) and i also liked how they gave her the costume and gave her a secret identity.ArgoCityCubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-23698073457910511222010-10-12T18:41:03.902-04:002010-10-12T18:41:03.902-04:00All in all I thought this was a good episode and I...All in all I thought this was a good episode and I was so thrilled they brought back Kara. John, you are right. Laura really does "get" Kara. I was so happy to see Kara portrayed so confident and sure of herself, a departure from her past appearances. This time she had something to show Clark instead of the other way around. I didn't get the vibe that Kara would end up possessed by Darkseid at all. <br /><br />I have to agree with another poster that you may be reading into that a little bit too soon. I, for one, am glad that Kara is finally sticking around this time. Granted, I don't think that means we'll be seeing her anytime soon again, but at least now it's a lot more plausible than it was than if she was in the phantom zone or flying around space. <br /><br />I'm glad they acknowledged her flight into space, even though they did fudge with that fact a little bit. When last we saw her, it was to search for Kandor. Now, we are told she was simply searching for her mother. Finally addressing Alura for the first time (we never heard about her during Season 7), it makes me wish we had seen her. I remember thinking that back when it was announced Helen Slater would be in Season 7, that I thought it would make more sense and be more of a Supergirl homage for Helen to portray Alura rather than Lara. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that we got Helen either way. I just wish we could've seen Alura and seen that not both of Kara's parents were bad.<br /><br />While I know Anj is uneasy about that last scene where Kara talks about feeling not pure of heart and sticking around, I kinda read it the other way around. I read it as that she was actually sticking around this time and might actually be more involved in the plot of this season than we originally thought, something which I would welcome. I would love to see her more regularly again. I did like how she was able to repel Darkseid with her bracelet, and again I thought this point showed she might actually be an important player this season. If that turns out to be true, I hope that she ends up an important player in a GOOD way and not in a possessed by Darkseid way. <br /><br />And I do also finally like that we saw the "secret identity" side of Kara in this episode. Now we just need a name to go with it, since she didn't actually speak one. If she does show up again, I would love for her to use this new secret identity to call herself Linda Lang, to be in line with the comics. Of course, she couldn't be Lana's neice, but maybe she could be Lana's cousin?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4979144877277591272010-10-12T14:34:27.280-04:002010-10-12T14:34:27.280-04:00GREAT RAO! O_O Now THAT was a truly kick ass Super...GREAT RAO! O_O Now THAT was a truly kick ass Supergirl centric intended themed ep yet! We FINALLY get to see Kara evolve her look to that of a prototype 'Supergirl' one (just like her cousin has been trying to do come his 'Superman' own since the very beginning of season 9), Kara making her official heroic worldwide debut in Metropolis which resulted in changing the gathered anti-Super-Heroes minds upon doing so, trying to impart her own 'know how' on how she can fly to Clark (which i thought was just SO cool and later hilarious upon seeing Clark crash through his farm barn's roof), selflessly coming to the rescue of Clark upon Darkseid's evil misty like essence trying to possess him, doning the Earthly disguise of what looks to be one 'Linda Lee Danvers' and being MORE then willing to live amongst 'us' even if it should mean giving up her very own life upon protecting her newly adopted planet to call home including it's inhabitants and especially that of her younger aged cousin (remember, the show continuously has their Kara point out that her main obligation is to protect her younger cousin whenever around him) against the evil threat that is Darkseid.<br /><br />Anj - With all due respect i think you may unfortunately just be jumping to conclusions come Kara's story concluding in having the 'Super cousins' duke it out while she's being possessed by Darkseid's essence only for her to be killed off.<br /><br />Oh, and PTB on Smallville have recently said that WB/CW could as of yet change their mind in the 10th season being the very last and there may be hope as of yet for another season next year. But in having had said that they also said that should they get the green light for an 11th season the main new theme would be to showcase Welling as Superman proper as well as having to flesh out how to handle the DC Universe characters introduced through out seasons past.TalOsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-11805680692403945292010-10-12T11:49:51.677-04:002010-10-12T11:49:51.677-04:00I doubt there will be a spin-off. With the Wonder...I doubt there will be a spin-off. With the Wonder Woman series just around the corner, DC might focus all their attention on that show, rather than spin off something from Smallville.<br /><br />I would LOVE to see a Supergirl spinoff, but if it hasn't happened already, I doubt it will ever see light. Usually, you'd have a spinoff run concurrently with the original series in order to get fans to cross over to the new show and have crossovers and specials and whatnot. Usually. [For example: Buffy/Angel, Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY, Stargate SG1/Atlantis (maybe? I think Stargate Universe started on its own and that seems to be doing well) etc...]<br /><br />As for Kara on Smallville, I think I would be happy with her coming back in the last few episodes to be the big bad! I really hope we get to see her at least one more time. My impression was that she was only able to steal herself away from V to film this one episode and that this was going to be her last appearance. <br /><br />I was suprised that she mentioned she was sticking around Metropolis. Just not sure if they had plans to bring her back. So, I felt uneasy that she'll only exist in the background and we will never get a proper sendoff for her. I was hoping this episode would be an epic sendoff, maybe leaving Metropolis for another town, leaving us feeling like she's come into her own and will begin having her own adventures (that we may probably get to see in a spinoff, if one was ever possible.)anthonyrivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191790486539529297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26864144422222723962010-10-12T11:34:42.626-04:002010-10-12T11:34:42.626-04:00Except for a handful of episodes, and the most die...Except for a handful of episodes, and the most die hard fans, I get the feeling Smallville will quickly sink away into non-existence after the show is done airing. <br /><br /> The producers/writers/whoever apparently don't care one wit about the comic book fans nor the characters past history, at all. If they did they would have a MAJOR hit on their hands instead of a cult hit. Plus rake in mega-bucks on merchandise and the after the show ends products instead of just tv advertising dollars. If only they had listened to the comic fans, if they had reached across to the comic fans as well as the tv fans they would/could have been so much MORE.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-63683465314032005592010-10-12T08:44:00.664-04:002010-10-12T08:44:00.664-04:00Face it, to make Clark become a hero they are gonn...Face it, to make Clark become a hero they are gonna throw Supergirl under a bus.<br />As you so succinctly pointed out, all the signs point to it.<br />And I for one AM NOT happy with that.<br />Supergirl IS NOT cannon fodder for some played out franchise presided over by the worse actor to ever play Kal El...<br />Ghod bless Ms. Vandervoort she "gets" Kara, a normal universe she'd be presiding over her own spin off now, but this is not a normal universe.<br />Someone has to stand athwart the whole Smaillville catastrophe and howl "HALT!"<br /><br />John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
