Better late than never, right?
So I have a small confession to make. I was originally going to include this review in the following episode’s recap, meaning that I would only write a brief blurb about what happened in this episode. But after watching this, I came to realize that there isn’t going to [...]

So I had off of work Wednesday due to weather, so I had the opportunity to watch “Absolute Justice,” the two-hour Smallville event. And my wording there was deliberate. I don’t know if it was the extended episode, or the fun new/classic characters, or what seemed like improved production values, but the two [...]

I don’t know what it is, but Smallville always does the best “Previously” montage videos. Great stuff.
Anyway, Smallville returns from a rather long hiatus and, yet again, we get a Green Arrow-centric episode. I feel like Oliver is going through the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man 2 syndrome, where there’s this inexplicable desire to give [...]

I want to take this opportunity to once again thank everybody who has read and contributed their comments to my reviews. I’ve really enjoyed the interactions, and it actually makes me even more eager for this upcoming season of Lost. If the amount of feedback I’ve received from Smallville and Heroes is any [...]

While I initially thought that I’d be skipping over this latest Internet trend, I finally succumbed to temptation and trend (pun!) by joining the Twitter-verse. So, be sure to follow me (@caseofthetwit). In addition to my latest blog entries and television reviews, I’ll also be posting some random thoughts and observations. I’d [...]

After waiting nearly a week, the CW Website finally got around to posting the latest episode of Smallville. I can’t really understand their mentality in waiting so long to make their shows available, because I’d assume that many other fans would either get impatient and download it illegally, or just wait until it pops [...]

So last week I discussed a potential romance between Oliver and Chloe. This week Oliver was professing his love for Lois and Chloe was cyber flirting with Tess’ tech dude. Shows what I know.
On the topic of romances, the Clark/Lois relationship was severely magnified this episode, culminating in the legendary future lovers sharing [...]

While it’s no longer the hot topic sparking debate within my columns, I did want to briefly revisit the point I made a few weeks ago, about how I believe the natural conclusion to Chloe’s current story arc is for her to leave Smallville (the show and the town). Incidentally, my feelings on the [...]

So last week’s review of Smallville received quite a bit of feedback, which naturally thrills me. Most of the reader comments were in response to my thoughts on Chloe, and how I feel like the natural progression of her current story arc is to leave to find her own path. I feel like [...]

When I read the preview for this episode – that Zod turns people into Zombies – and realized it was airing in such close proximity to Halloween, I began having nightmares about Lana’s vampire experience, which is incidentally perhaps he only episode in the show’s history in which the writers even acknowledge is terrible. [...]

So after nearly a week I was finally able to watch the last new episode of Smallville online at the CW website. And this exceptionally frustrating occurrence has made me take issue with the CW. I mean, unlike virtually every other network, which promptly (as in, the next day) offer full episodes on [...]

So Smallville has returned for its ninth season (hard to believe, isn’t it?) In a lot of ways, this series is barely recognizable when compared to when it first premiered, with Lex, Lana, Lionel, Jonathan, Martha, and Pete having all been written off. Even classic characters like Kara and Jimmy, who dropped by [...]

The Fall TV Season officially kicks off tonight, Monday, September 21, and that means all your favorite shows should be returning. If not, they will in January, unless they were canceled of course. But the new Fall season also means plenty of new shows that probably won’t last a season. With that in mind, a [...]

Here are the highlights of the Smallville Comic-Con panel:
- Laura Vandervoort is not returning to the show.
- Chloe (Allison Mack) relies on the protection of a gun this season.
- There is a hot and steamy love scene between Lois and Clark.
- Chloe and Clark’s relationship will be very strained. Said executive producer
Kelly Souders, “They [...]

Fire up your Diet Coke-and-Mentos cannons: The MythBusters are returning to Comic-Con. Joss Whedon and Dollhouse will be there too.
Discovery confirmed Friday that MythBusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage will make their second consecutive San Diego Comic-Con appearance. Savage and Hyneman will be the stars of a panel at 7:15 p.m. PT Saturday, July 25, [...]

“It’s like you’re some sort of Super………….guy….” – Jimmy Olsen
Oh, so close!
I can’t really put my finger on why, but this season finale didn’t seem as epic as ones in the past. There just wasn’t that sense of urgency and danger. It didn’t really feel like everything that happened throughout the season was [...]

When Tess was introduced at the beginning of the season, I was pretty critical of her seemingly one dimensional character. I have to admit, though, she’s really grown on me. Her relationship with Oliver has played a big part in that, but I also appreciate how they’ve made her a distinct character. [...]

Last week I noted the disturbing pattern of having Clark’s long-time girl friends, people who were once perceived as innocent and sweet, turn into something dark and cryptic. And for the past few weeks I’ve criticized Jimmy’s drug addiction (again: Who wants to see this?) But I will say this: I [...]

While this was essentially a filler episode, I actually quite enjoyed it once it found its groove. And I have to admit, I was slightly concerned when I saw the previews. I mean, I wasn’t all too eager seeing Clark’s love interest masquerading as a superhero so soon after that Lana debacle. [...]

This was an interesting episode of Smallville. Enough interesting stuff happened, but I’m not necessarily sure it maintained my interest. For the first portion of this season, I found Clark, Lois, and Jimmy the most interesting characters by a rather large margin. Then the atrocity known as Lana returned, and those two [...]
