smallville.pngHere’s another reason to look forward to Thursday evenings (Friday mornings here in the Philippines). Smallville Season 7 has premiered! I know it’s no longer as exciting as the first seasons, and frankly story arcs tend to seem a little dragging. Still, the addition of new cast members (i.e., Laura Vandervoort as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl) might bring new interest to the series. We even get to see Dean Cain play the part of a villain. So that’s the second time a former Superman actor appears on Smallville (the late Christopher Reeve played the part of supporting character Dr. Virgil Swann in the earlier seasons).

Also, I personally want to know if this would be the last season, and if Clark Kent gets to fly in the end, and perhaps don the famed Superman costume once and for all, even if these are not in line with the creators’ no flight, no tights policy (after all, we saw a flying Kal-El in the second season finale).

Episode excerpt:

Clark confronts a bizarro version of himself and the ensuing fight causes Reeves dam to burst. Lex, who was arrested for Lana’s murder, is caught in the flood of water. Before he can drown, Lex is saved by an unknown girl who he later believes to be an angel giving him a second chance at redemption. Lionel’s body is taken by an unknown person. Chloe is pronounced dead at the hospital, but she resurrects herself in the morgue. Clark discovers his doppelgänger’s weakness, the yellow Sun, and exploits it with the help of Martian Manhunter (Phil Morris). Lana is revealed to be alive and living in Shanghai, China. -Wikipedia

Smallville airs Thursday evenings on the CW. Given the popularity of the series, you can usually find torrents seeded just a couple of hours after airing. Try mininova.org or torrentspy.com. I only download because I’ll probably get to watch this season in local free or cable TV here in my country by next year or so!
