Are you still going to stick with your original "No Tights, No Flights" policy, considering how far we've come with the mythology and the fact that Supergirl [aka Kara, played by Laura Vandervoort] will be flying? — Salchan
Al Gough: Yes, we are sticking with that policy as far as Clark is concerned. (Obviously Bizarro can fly as well as Kara.) But following up on what Chloe said about his lack of flying in the season premiere ("Clark, you need to get on that"), Kara will be giving him "flying lessons" later in the season. Although with Clark, they end up being more like "falling lessons."
Can we get some clues as to who some of the other DC characters are that might appear on the show this year? Thanks, and awesome job with the show. I'm hooked every week. — smallvillefan213
Gough: I am glad you are hooked; that way, when I don't give you any new information, you will keep watching. Mwhahahaaha! Here's what I can say: You'll see Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Bizarro, and the return of Brainiac and the Green Arrow... as well as a future hero to be named later!
Since there is going to be a JLA movie and [Superman Returns'] Brandon Routh and [Batman Begins'] Christian Bale are not going to be in it, is there any chance that Tom Welling and the rest of the gang from Smallville's own Justice League could be featured in the roles? — cooper2000
Gough: That, unfortunately, isn't how Hollywood works. You will see a brand-spanking-new group of actors donning the tights for that film. I heard it is under the direction of George (Mad Max) Miller, so I am personally very excited to see it.
Will Chloe go back to being "Watchtower" this year at all? I thought that was a great way to fit her into the Justice League storyline. I love the episodes where they are saving someone or just working together and taking care of business. — aenawa
Gough: We love those stories, too, and you will see Chloe in quasi-Watchtower mode around Episode 11. You'll discover that she is still doing odd jobs for Oliver and the gang on the side. Hey, a girl's got to pay the rent. Cub reporters don't make squat!
Will we get the opportunity to see Bizarro survive and join the Legion of Doom, which will become an opponent for the Justice League? — jaketheman5
Gough: You haven't seen the last of Bizarro, and the Legion of Doom is always a possibility. And in the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I've got to say about that!
Will there be a major character or at least a guest star playing a character on Lex's side? — kpjmm
Gough: Yes, at least they will start there. There may also be someone on the show who is currently on Lex's side and we don't know it yet. (Kids, fire up the TiVos and put on those thinking caps!)
Will the fake-baby storyline be explained properly? I thought it was a pretty desperate thing for Lex to do and a sad ending for Lex and Lana. — lexanarocked
Gough: It was a desperate and sad thing for him to do. However, the explanation was given — Lex didn't feel Lana would marry him for himself, so he faked the pregnancy to seal the deal, then stopped drugging her with hormones after the wedding, so she thought she had a miscarriage. Remember, gang, this is one of the reasons he becomes evil, because he is desperate for love that he cannot get from his father or from Lana.
I heard Clark and Lana will reconcile, yet the audience knows that Clark and Lana will not end up together. Why invest so much time and energy rehashing their relationship this late in the series? — caitiedid
Gough: You also know that Lex will become evil, that Clark becomes Superman, and that the two will be mortal enemies, yet you've been watching for seven seasons! The fact is, Clark loves Lana, and that is one of the central relationships of the show. She is that crucial first relationship that helps define him and his future relationships with women. The fact that he screws it up so badly, no matter how hard he tries, is one of the reasons he ends up with Lois. Remember, my young Padawan, our story is the journey, not the conclusion.
The character of Clark seems to have become increasingly marginalized over the last couple of seasons. When are you going to tell Clark's story of his journey toward becoming Superman? And why does the journey have so much pining for Lana in it? — Gigi_F
Gough: See answer above and below.
We've heard a lot about character arcs for Kara, Lois and Lex. I was wondering whether there was a specific arc for Clark, one independent of Lana's return, considering he is the central character. Right now he seems to be reacting a lot to other characters; it would be nice to see him take the initiative and to see Clark specifically being pushed forward for a change. — extrasolar
Gough: Clark's journey this season revolves around his struggle between his Kryptonian heritage and his earthly upbringing, and dealing with his cousin — which ain't easy! Kara will give him an insight into his family (which is seriously screwed up) and his birth planet (which went boom, so there was something seriously screwed up there as well). He will grapple with his past and his future. And now that Lana is back, will he finally realize that this relationship, no matter how hard he tries, is ultimately doomed? Stay tuned.
Quote: But following up on what Chloe said about his lack of flying in the season premiere ("Clark, you need to get on that"), Kara will be giving him "flying lessons" later in the season. Although with Clark, they end up being more like "falling lessons."

Smallville Magazine Issue #23 Now On Sale!
Titan Magazines has given us information on the latest issue of the Official Smallville Magazine. Here's the blurb:
Who’s that girl? Everybody’s talking about her, and why wouldn’t they be? Actress Laura Vandervoort has swept into the public eye recently with her new role as Clark’s cousin, Kara, AKA the future Supergirl! We bring you the complete guide to her new TV character. Also heading up this issue we have an exclusive interview with Erica Durance - always in the midst of the on-screen action, she talks us through the fights, the feuds, and what she looks for in a love interest. We have some great off camera interviews too; Smallville co-creator Miles Millar tells us what to expect from season seven and director extraordinaire James Marshall discusses his favorite episodes. Plus we piece together season six in the second part of our episode guide, analyze Clark Kent in our ‘Before and After’ feature and ask for your vote in our readers poll.
Issue #23 of The Official Smallville Magazine hits newsstands on October 16, though some comic book specialty shops and subscribers have already received their copies. The magazine also shared with us an excerpt from the issue, featuring an interview with Erica Durance (Lois). You can find it below.
Lane in the Fast Life
Erica Durance is back from a very crazy weekend. It isn’t the Phantom Zoners or some rampaging meteor freak that has her worn out, but San Diego Comic-Con, where almost 160,000 enthusiastic attendees piled in to get the lowdown on their favorite TV shows, films, and comic books. Part of that experience was a Smallville panel where Durance was reminded that – after three seasons – her version of Lois Lane has been wholeheartedly embraced by fans and has become an integral part of the show’s mythology.
"Looking back right now, I am a little shocked,” she says. “I spent so much time just focusing on putting one foot in front of the other! “It’s been this nice steady job for the last three years, going into my fourth. And it started off as only four episodes. I’m all about living in the present, so I was just trying to do the best I could with what was in front of me. But you go to Comic-Con and everyone is so positive and excited. The energy around it is amazing, so no complaints here.
Last time Smallville Magazine sat down with Durance, Lois Lane had become smitten with Graham Garrett. Seemingly a nice enough guy, he turned out to be a hitman with the power to become invisible. What’s more, he was just the latest psycho on Lois’s unfortunate dating scorecard. So does Durance find Lois’s taste in men somewhat frustrating?
“My big thing as an actress is that when you are introduced to a possible love interest, you want it to have some kind of body,” she says. “You want it to have a nice little arc, so playing with someone who is just attractive isn’t as fulfilling as if you have a character who is actually interesting. “It’s kind of fun to build that and discover it. It’s not like you see the person and all of a sudden you are throwing yourself at them. That is not my idea of going about it. Even this year they are talking about a possible relationship between the new editor of the Daily Planet and Lois.
“So, with Grant [the new editor of the Planet], here is somebody really intelligent who banters with her, makes her think, and challenges her. He’s successful, and in a field that Lois wants to get into very badly, so there are all those other levels to play. It’s more realistic.” Arguably however, Lois had already struck gold with playboy millionaire Oliver Queen – except that his Green Arrow secret identity, and her resolve to unmask him, put undue strain on their romance...
Christina Milian Wants Wonder Woman Role In 'Justice League' Flick — But She'll Have To Fight For It
Quote:
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Teresa Palmer in running to play Amazonian princess; Common, Adam Brody also up for superhero parts.
Christina Milian wants to be Wonder Woman — but for now, she'll settle on giving Superman his props.
As director George Miller continues to test out young stars for the parts of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman in the movie adaptation of the "Justice League of America" comics, the singer/actress urges him to look beyond her ethnicity and consider her for the part of the Amazonian princess. "That would be awesome," Milian said. "I think confidence and strength lie in your mind, and I would love to exude that strength."
Jessica Biel was reportedly in talks for the super role, but the deal never happened.
Milian has some strong competition for the part. She's up against Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Teresa Palmer, who, along with Common, Adam Brody, Joseph Cross, D.J. Cotrona, Michael Angarano, Max Thieriot and the cast of "Friday Night Lights," are also on Miller's roll call, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (Check out our writers' casting ideas for "JLA" here and here in the MTV Movies Blog.) Milian isn't daunted, however, because she feels like the comic books are closer to her heart.
"I used to want to work in comics," Milian revealed. "I wanted to be an illustrator. I wanted to write books, and mostly, I wanted to write 'Justice League.' I still have the comic books I collected from that."
Her love for superheroes is what led her to go for a part on "Smallville," airing October 25. In the episode "Action," Milian plays an actress filming on the troubled set of "Warrior Angel," a movie based on a comic book in the Smallville-verse. Her part is an in-joke for comics fans, because her character's presence is a continuity error ("People get very upset because she wasn't in the comic at that point in time") and because the movie she's filming has lots of parallels to Superman's story.
"It's kinda funny," Milian said. "My character, Rachel Davenport, is almost in the Lois Lane/ Lana Lang position. She's the one figuring everything out, and it's ironic for Clark to be watching everything going on."
Very meta — but does Rachel get to the point where she figures out Clark Kent is Superman? "She has no idea," Milian said, "but she keeps getting saved by him, and she's really into him. She's used to being in control, to guys throwing themselves at her, and he's the one guy who's not. Plus, every girl wants a hero!"
Rachel may not get her man, but she does get to be part of his history. (SPOILER ALERT!) When she thanks him for saving her life, she offers a gift in exchange. "I didn't know until he opened the box that I was actually giving him his cape!" Milian said. "It's supposed to be a prop from the 'Warrior Angel' movie, but you know he's going to use it."
Milian, however, only came away with bruises from doing her own stunt work (including a car crash). She hopes her "Smallville" appearance will bring her to Miller's attention, but she wouldn't say whether she's had an audition of her own. "No comment!" she laughed. If Wonder Woman doesn't work out this time, though, "I'll do Catwoman any day."
Check out everything we've got on "Justice League of America."

I didn't know who she was. I looked up some images. She seems to physically match the Wonder Woman look except I think she's black. She kind of looks of Latin descent in some pictures.
She(Milian) says we "should look beyond her ethnicity"--which is a question for me. I couldn't tell and thought Hawaiian, Islander,etc. But Tim thinks she is black, maybe Latin. Maybe so. Wonder Woman has been traditionally white, and with no prejudice at all, I think we need to go with that.
I wonder what ya'all think about that?
I can't imagine a black Green Arrow or Clark Kent, so I guess that is my basis for thought. It would be a big change, not bad in any way--just really not what we have come to expect.
Beacause I am NOT comic-book literate, I don't know if we do have an African-American Super Hero.

I like to keep heroes true to their original characterizations. I don't mind toying with villains nearly as much. Take Daredevil I think the guy they got to play the Kingpin was perfect. __________________
Ethicity has nothing to do with it. Wonder Woman is Wonder Woman, I can only see vert few people playing her. Lynda Carter, Lucy Lawless, and one other that's es aping me at the moment. __________________

She in unattractive in every way in that pic ( to me) but looked good in the photos from upcoming SM episode. In this photo she looks like she is wearing the same " bad luck" outfit that Brittany wore in her laughable failure in Vegas.Clothes do make a difference.
F.Y.I. I don't think there is a lot of feeling in the tissue around the navel, so it hurts more in the earlobe , I'm not pierced but I was told so by a girl I see sometimes who has a belly ring.
I think more girls have them than don't here--at least from my vantage-point (casino). Only O.K. if they are NOT on a fatso. Then

When it comes right down to it, I'd rather have a girl with a belly-ring(removable in a second) than one with a tattoo--there I draw the line.It would never happen.
I keep imagining myself bring my cutie home to MY mother. She'd throw a bowl of minestrone at her. You don't know my mom Any of the Smallville girls have tattoos??

Found things!!
Why was it time to introduce Kara/Supergirl, played by newcomer Laura Vandervoort, on “Smallville”?
The main reason was to give someone to illuminate Clark's Kryptonian past, which we touched on with Jor-El in the Fortress and stuff, but to have a sort of flesh and blood relative there who was actually alive on Krypton and knew Clark's parents and some of the other goings-on in the House of El, which we are going to find out about essentially around episode 6.
And also for Clark, Jonathan's dead, Martha is in Washington, we are still very much a family show so it was nice that he had some family but again, this is real, flesh and blood Kryptonian family rather than his adopted parents.
It also puts Clark in less of the child role and more of the mentor role.
Tom Welling's really grown into the role of Clark. He is really playing the part well.
Tom does it really well. He has had such extraordinary growth as an actor over the course of the series. And that's him. He's a very giving, helpful person off the set, with other actors, and so I think that is just part of who he is, as a person. And it really comes through in his character.
Have you been surprised with Laura Vandervoort as well?
We are pleasantly surprised with Laura. You always cast people and hope for the best and she has more than surpassed our expectations. She is really giving that character a much more nuanced performance in the first few couple of episodes that she has been in than we were expecting. It's always a learning curve with these shows, especially coming into an established show and she is really doing a terrific job.
For fans of Lana (Kristen Kreuk) and Chloe (Allison Mack) and Lois (Erica Durance), is the introduction of Kara going to push any of those characters into the background on “Smallville” or will that all work itself out?
I don't think so. Kara is in 12 of 22 episodes. Lois is in 12 out of 22. You know Lois has already, certainly in the first two episodes, had lots to do. And Lana has just got back into town. Her story is going to get more interesting and a little darker. What you are going to see after episode 8, Kara gets benched for a couple of episodes, and you will see why, I won't spoil anything.
It's always a balancing act in the show. Even though it's a Clark-centered, Clark-driven show, there is the ensemble aspect of it as well. It's trying to really service the storyline so everyone has something to play. I think, what's good about the cast we have and the characters that they are playing, we don't have any characters that will be sort of popping in for one scene. And certainly with Martha last year, she had her own story. You want to avoid the Pete Ross problem. So when you see the characters, in the episode, that's part of the story, and something to pay attention to and not just something to serve as filler to the “A” story.
I don't know if this was intended or not, but last week's episode reminded me of one of your classic done-in-ones from the first season. Were you cognizant of that, and if so was it used as a tool to showcase Kara and give her someone to fight and someone to win against?
It was definitely that kind of vibe, yes. And I think it was because Kara is a new character and you are trying to introduce her into the world. And give her a story but also that there is an ongoing story, you know, the thing she found, the Kryptonian SOS comes back into the show. But yeah, it was weird because we all felt the same way and I think part of it is when you are integrating a new character into the show, it's making sure that they get a proper introduction over a couple of episodes but finding stories because they can't plug too deeply into the mythology up front. You know what I mean? After the first episode, even last week with Kara, putting a little lightness into the show is not a bad thing.
You will see episode 5 is more of a stand-alone story. A film crew comes to Smallville to shoot the “Warrior Angel” movie, the comic book in our mythology. It's kind of fun because it pokes a little fun with our own fans, quite frankly. And with fans, with comics being translated into movies but again the longer a show is on the air, the more serialized it inevitably becomes. But I think with “Smallville,” what we have always tried to do, for better or worse, is when you tune into episode, there is pretty much, a beginning, a middle and an end.
Some episodes, feel more serialized than others, but I think otherwise, if you get too much on the mythology crack-pipe, I think you can burn out. And I think that's a problem for some people. I look at “Heroes” this year and I know when I go on the boards, there are a lot of people complaining and saying, “It's moving along too slowly.” Well, they've got to set up the story. People need to be patient but once you have given people that crack-pipe – this is what our show does – it is literally, a serialized drama every week. And last year [laughs], I could completely feel for their situation. You can't always do big turns at the end of every episode or you would have nothing left.
“Heroes” is a great example from last year to this year, because for me, the pacing is the exact same, except we didn't know anything last year, so everything was a “big turn.” Now we know, at least a bit, what's going on. It was just exciting to see the plots and characters introduced last year.
Exactly, now you know the rhythm and the pace and again, we see the say the same thing every year. This is the first time we have ever done a seventh season of a show. Last year was the first time we had ever done a sixth season. Doing 22 episodes of television is hard and you have to find ways to naturally slow down your storytelling. I think for us, last week was really about giving Kara her own story with a dilemma she could solve, basically. This week, we get back to Clark and it's a bit more of Chloe story too, which is good. So as the show matures, rather than gets older, you earn the right to tell other characters' stories that are not necessarily Clark-centric. You never want to do it to the detriment of Clark. You always want to do it where it will emotionally land on him, but he doesn't have to be the center of every story.
The tricky part with Clark is, I guess, that he could just come into any scene and overpower everyone and the story would be done.
Sure, he can overpower it sometimes, which is always tricky. We are not like a crackling mystery show. We can have a few things, but he is going to get onto things quickly and then once he is on to it, it's done. It is a dilemma. We look at the boards, but I am so used to the rhythm of the complaints or who is saying what and who hates Lana or who hates Lana and Clark or Lex and Lana together, or why hasn't Clark already started his training. Then he would just be standing in the Fortress being lectured to. We could just show test patterns [laughs]. That's another reason why it's great to have Kara. Why it is great to have family but she's a blessing and a curse to him. It's great to have a family and a connection to Krypton but she is also a problem Clark has to manage.
And it also appears like she is going to be a problem for Chloe and Jimmy, as well?
Yes, we are definitely going to see that heat up.
Tough choice for Jimmy? Supergirl is kind of hard to walk away from.
I know [laughs].
You probably get asked this the most, but since you have over the years introduced The Flash and Aquaman and Green Arrow and again, we have Supergirl this year but is there any possible way you will ever be able to bring Batman to “Smallville?” And if not, would you love to do it?
Of course, we would. We have been talking about it since Season 1. But we can't. Some dreams have to die unfortunately.
When you finally announce you are going off the air, hopefully DC will sweep in and give you one.
Yeah, they will give us one or something like that. By the way, we always ask, every year. We always ask for Batman, and then the next one is Wonder Woman.
Just in case you catch someone sleeping one day?
You never know but we are going to have Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley) back, around probably episode 11 and there will be a new JLAer introduced in January, who we have not seen before on the show.
Is Clark Kent a killer? Why was there no follow-up to the latest Clark-Chloe kiss? And when might Clark's wardrobe become a bit more... super? In the second of three installments, executive producer Al Gough fields TVGuide.com readers' burning questions about Smallville (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET, CW).
Quote:
We've yet to get a glimpse of Clark Kent, journalist, on this show. When are we going to welcome Clark to the bullpen? —shalimarfox80
Al Gough: Not this season, but Lois will be joining the "Planet" staff full time.
Superman's moral stance on killing is very clear in the comic books. Do you believe that there is more flexibility in Clark's moral code before he becomes Superman, or is there a philosophy you have developed for these circumstances? — SueB62
Gough: A great question. We were told up front by DC Comics that Clark couldn't kill anyone. Now I can hear the fans going, "But in that episode.... " The fact is we adopted a policy from the start that the villain had to fall on their own sword, or die by circumstances beyond Clark's control. I've heard lots of arguments in early episodes that Clark did "kill" someone, but the fact is he hasn't and he won't. Now, when it comes to aliens and Zoners and Zod (whom in the comics, Superman did kill with Kryptonite) the rules are a little fuzzier, but the tenet remains — Superman (and by extension, Clark) doesn't set out to kill anyone. Believe me, it makes for some very interesting discussions in the writers room.
What is the status of having Michael McKean back as Perry White? He was great! — prisonerofgod
Gough: We'd love to have him back, but he is an extremely busy actor!
Why did Season 5 end with the Chloe-Clark kiss in the "Daily Planet" if there were no plans to follow through? — frellingtralk
Gough: The world was ending, and Chloe didn't think she'd see him again. The fact is, she will always have feelings for Clark, even though she knows they will never be more than friends.
I know Allison [Mack, Chloe] will be directing an episode. Will either Michael [Rosenbaum] or Tom [Welling] be directing this season? — Misty
Gough: Allison is [directing an episode], and we are very excited. Tom will be directing again as well. Michael wanted to, but he recently had back surgery and opted out. [Executive producer] Miles [Millar] and I have always been supportive of the actors directing, and think both Tom and Michael have given us great episodes. We expect the streak to continue with Allison!
Why do you believe the Lex/Lana/Clark triangle was such a big success, even though it upset many fans? — duskwillow
Gough: Because people are so invested in these characters. That is the great thing about Smallville fans — they are passionate about the show and the characters. Miles and I take so much crap online for various decisions, and the fact is it makes me smile, because people still care. I think the fact that Lex and Lana divided so many people is a testament to that. It is the core triangle of the show, and the fact that it was on slow burn for five seasons just added to the furor.
Are we ever going to see [hard evidence] of Lex's genius-level intellect? — thevar
Gough: Good question. Hadn't really thought about it, but it is something to consider.
Will Lois and Kara become friends this season? — mcvs2104
Gough: Eventually they will; she is, after all, Clark's cousin, and Lois has a soft spot for the Kents (or the Els if she really knew where they were from!).
Is Erica Durance going to appear more this season? Her Lois Lane is the most faithful incarnation I have ever seen on screen and her appearing so little is starting to hurt the character's development. — medliana
Gough: Thanks, that is great to hear. I believe you will be seeing more of Lois this season, although she won't be in every episode.
I know about the romantic restrictions on Lois and Clark [being a couple on Smallville], but is there a restriction on one or the other starting to have nonplatonic feelings? Such as Clark starting to like Lois more but keeping it to himself? — Superman_Beyond
Gough: Shhhhhh! You're spoiling the end of the season!
Hi, I'm from Argentina. I love the show. It's my favorite! Well, I have a question/comment for you: Do you think Clark needs a change of clothes urgent[ly]? I think Tom Welling is the most beautiful man, but he always wears the same clothes. He can continue using the red and blue colors, but he can use different clothes, I think. – lulitasmv89
Gough: Seeing that you are from such a fashionable country, I completely understand where you are coming from. But the fact is, Clark is an organic farmer in Kansas who doesn't make that much money, so there isn't a lot of time devoted to fashion. That's what all of his evil alter egos (Kal, Bizzaro, Red Clark) focus on. Believe it or not, we get more inquiries on "Where can I get those red-and-blue jackets" than we get cast-autograph requests! The fact is, we bought them in bulk and had to dye them ourselves. (Well, not me personally, but our incredibly talented costume designer.)
The Bible is so powerful. It's not to be left on your shelf. It's to outline even the simplest scriptures that can mean so much in building yourself up.
"I am God's workmanship." (Ephesians 2:10)
"I have been redeemed and forgiven." (Colossians 1:14)
"I am the salt and the light of the earth." (Matthew 5:13-14)
during a second part interview with in tvguide Millar revealed that there wilol be some sort of showdown between clark and kara and two other kryptonians. Brainiac was right it it difficult to destroy a superior civilisation __________________
