Smallville Execs Thank Star for Lex Appeal, Tease Doomsday's Arrival | Today's News: Our Take | 5/2/2008
A joint statement from Smallville's new quartet of show runners, the CW and Warner Bros. Television pays proper due to Michael Rosenbaum, who won't be returning next season as a series regular. "It has been an honor and pleasure to work with Michael. He is one of the best actors on television and has never failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every episode," says the missive. "While... we won’t have the pleasure of working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we haven’t seen the last of Lex Luthor. Stay tuned." (In comments: Michael Rosenbaum's letter to fans and friends.) The Smallville bosses go on to tease a new breed of villainy for Season 8, including the arrival of Doomsday, "the legendary, unstoppable destroyer" who will present Clark with "his ultimate challenge." (Doomsday, of course, is the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman.)Also to be cast for S8 is a female villain who "will be... read more
Smallville: Clark Kent’s Not-So-Wonderful Life | TV Show Previews | 5/1/2008
On Thursday's episode of Smallville (8 pm/ET, The CW), Clark Kent (Tom Welling) gets a look at what life would have been like if his rocket ship never arrived on Earth. Brainiac (James Marsters), last seen zooming away with Clark's Krypto-cousin Kara (Laura Vandervoort), is trying to set such a Kal-El-free scenario in motion. Clark, having a bit of a pity party over Lana's continued zombieness, isn't so sure that's such a bad idea. "Since the day I arrived, all I've brought is suffering and death," he says. "Meteor freaks, phantoms, Brainiac. If I'd never reached Earth, none of them would've ever been here."Right on cue, his own version of It's a Wonderful Life plays out thanks to his Kryptonian dad Jor-El, who enables him to see what a non-Clark world would be like. And let's just say it's not a pretty picture. Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) is president of the United States, with Milton Fine — aka Brainiac — as his chief of staff. And their plan to consolidate power... read more
Ask Ausiello | 3/12/2008
Q: In last week's Ask Ausiello, you mentioned that "nearly everyone" was onboard for next season except Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum. Is Allison Mack included in that "nearly everyone"? A: Yes, the A Mackster has already re-upped for next season. I hear that keeping Chloe around was a top priority for producers given the uncertainty surrounding Kreuk and Rosenbaum's future involvement. [UPDATE: KryptonSite is reporting that Mack has not, in fact, signed on for next season. While it's ... read more
