Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin:

- Apparently, the end of the season will please fans of Smallville.

- Turns out DC actually gets all the Smallville scripts for them to look at.

- This season, they reimagined Doomsday as a metaphor and gave him a face (Doomsday is played by Sam Witwer).

- This season they will introduce other DC superheroes like Plastic Man (who should appear in episode 2) and if Iʼm not mistaken, a character called Maxima who is a goddess that needs to mate but she canʼt mate with humans (Iʼll let you guess the rest, his name starts with a C.)

- This yearʼs other new character is Tess Mercer played by Cassidy Freeman. Tess is the VP for Luthor Corp. She will take over Lexʼs place at the Daily planet. She is going to search for Lex Luthor and will realize that Clark might be involved with his disappearance.

- Doomsday will first appear in episode 2 as his human version, Davis Bloome.

- Lana will return, but unfortunately it might be bad timing.

- So far no Lex news, they are trying to work something out with Michael Rosenbaum to get him to appear this season.

- DC supervillain Legion will come to Smallville this season.

- They also mentioned that we would never actually see Jor-El on Smallville, for the simple fact that Marlon Brando did too good of a job and they cannot imagine someone else portraying him.

Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders:

- When asked why Clark doesnʼt fly yet, they mentioned that a scene had been cut out from last season where Kara tries to teach Clark how to fly and she actually mentions how it could be a mental block.

- This season will continue in the transition for Clark to become Superman.

- This season they will be a lot in Metropolis as Clark starts to work at the Daily Planet.

- This season we also will start to see Clark saving more strangers (like Superman).

- Doomsday is a different take but the same mythology. It actually ties into something that happened last season.

- Doomsday is sort of a tragic story because you see someone that emerges as a villain but doesnʼt start out that way.

Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow):

- Justin Hartley trusts the writers and has never had any problems so far with what has been written for him.

- He thinks the appeal to the character is because of the writing, his is just the face of it.

- This season, they explore the origin of Green Arrow, how he was stranded on an island and had to learn how to survive.

- In the premiere episode, we also get a few characters back like Aquaman and Black Canary.

- Justin Hartley mentioned how impressive the new sets are this season on Smallville. Turns out he actually gets lost on the Daily Planet set, because itʼs huge.

- Justin Hartley did some research for his role as the Green Arrow. He mentioned how he wanted to know the whole mythology of the character.

- Turns out there are talks of bringing a sidekick in.

- This season Green Arrow will look at everything he has lost. It is a big burden for him and he wonders if it was all worth it. He starts a downward spiral and he goes back to womanizing.

- Justin Hartley mentioned how the guy with the costume goes down and the guy without (Clark) goes up towards getting “the costume.”

Allison Mack (Chloe Sullivan):

- Allison Mack seemed happy that they were bringing new blood to the show this season.

- As for her relationship with costar Tom Welling, after 7 years, she says that they can finish each othersʼ sentences.

- This season there is a new love interest for Chloe as well as a potential wedding, a new job, and new powers.

- And turns out this Fall, Allison Mack will find herself behind the camera to direct an episode.

Sam Witwer (Doomsday) and Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer):

- Sam Witwer read about Doomsday in order to prepare for the part. He did mention once again how they have a different interpretation of the character in Smallville.

- Sam Witwer talked about how his characterʼs story is really sad. Itʼs about a guy (Davis Bloome) who deteriorates the more he learns about himself.

- Davis Bloome (who will become Doomsday) is a paramedic from Metropolis, who, turns out, starts a friendship with Chloe. He comes from the foster system, but is a really nice guy.

- At the beginning of the season, Davis Bloome blacks out more and more and decides to find out what heʼs doing during those blackouts. When he finds out how awful it is, he deteriorates.

 

UPDATED 8/24/08: Laura Vandervoort revealed at the 2008 FanExpo in Toronto, Canada that she will be returing to Smallville for an episode to wrap up her storylines. Her episode shoots in October, which means it will probably land somewhere between #9 and #11 of the season. Sadly, Michael Rosenbaum has given no indication that he will be returning, and he has revealed that he is currently in negotiations for a film role. Micheal will not be retuning until he decides to come back, to guest star.

 

From WatchWithKristin:

 

 

Meredith in Houston: Hey, Kristin! You seem to be ignoring Smallville lately. Any juicy scoop to share?

 

Just had a long, juicy talk with new Smallville executive producer Darren Swimmer, and he told me that there will definitely be a Chloe-Jimmy wedding, but that it does not go according to plan. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bloody mess.

 

Doomsday goes off!! This is going to be awesome!

Ο Doomsday δεν υποτίθεται ότι είναι "τέρας" (!) απ' τον Krypton στο κόμικ;

[Erunildo]

[Thresh]

ναι αλλά το μπλε πουκαμισάκι έκανε μπαμ πάνω στον C.K.

[Nodoordonotthereisnotry]

Εμένα μ'άρεσε πάρα πολύ το σημερινό. Και όλως τυχαίως δεν έδειξε τον διπλοθεσίτη Jimmy Olsen. Ο Doomsday bartender δεν υποτίθετο πως θα ήταν; Γιατί μας τον δείχνουν πως είσαι paramedics;
