Thursday... Smallville... Ep. 7-13

Pete Ross! Hey, you're back, that's cool. How long's it been, three years? Well, we're just gonna act like it's three weeks and just say hey. No big deal. What's that, you have powers now? Oh, look at that. Good thing we live in a fantasy world where nobody but DC characters exist, because your "powers" look amazingly like Mr. Fantastic's. Oddly enough, we will however make a reference to Inspector Gadget, since he's imaginary. So, you wanna tell everyone about your powers and be a hero? But Pete, you're in Smallville again. You know what that means - danger. More specifically, you're going to be in danger by episode's end.

They usually reserve guest appearances by old cast members for very special episodes, where at least something big happens. The B story here was Kara deciding who she trusts more, "Clana" or Lex. She chooses Lex, because she's a moron. But he might not be back as a series regular next season, anyway. The C story: Jimmy Olsen decides to stop taking advantage of Kara's memory loss, and go after Chloe again.

Return to Blogdom

It's been awhile. It's almost as if I was a writer... on strike!

Some shows have returned or will be returning soon. There's drama surrounding dramas, too. The plans for Lost to have three final 16-episode seasons (or 117 total episodes) were hit a bit by the strike, but just to put it on hiatus for about the ninth time in it's run. This headline comes from TV.com:

Island drama moving time slots after minihiatus, previous cliffhanger will now serve as semipremiere.

That's too many prefixes! But the good news is that episode eight won't be a season finale. Since the strike was resolved in time, episode eight will instead be the first second-half episode.

Man, every show now seems to be forced into following USA's Monk and Psych, which are split into fall and summer half-seasons.

This week sees the return of Smallville, which is one show that seemingly interrupts hiatuses (hiatii?) with episodes once a month. However, three episodes will air in the next three weeks before a brief catch-up period, and new episodes will begin airing on April 17.

New shows premiering this month include Unhitched (March 2), The Return of Jezebel James (March 14), Canterbury's Law (March 17) and Miss Guided (March 18) .

American Idol is down to it's final 12, and I have no predictions for you this year. Sorry.

We've heard of shows like Family Guy and Jericho coming back after cancellation, but now The WB may come back too, as a web site dedicated to news and full episodes of shows that were produced on the network like Gilmore Girls and Everwood.
