Are the local stations already airing Smallville Season 6? I’m not really into local TV these days. I have cable here at home, but we mostly watch kids’ channels like Disney and Nickelodeon (mostly Disney). Smallville’s Season 6 Premiere was supposed to air Thursday, September 28th in the US. But during that time, power in our place had been cut off due to typhoon Milenyo (international name: Xangsane), so I had no way of knowing whether Studio 23 is already carrying the new season (it usually plays Smallville Tuesdays).

Fortunately, there’s YouTube. While arguably copyrighted content isn’t supposed to be uploaded there, I think some producers of popular TV shows have become quite lenient, especially with the shows that have such a huge cult following that it doesn’t make sense to deprive the potential audience of their viewing enjoyment.

“Can you read my mind?”
I always thought Clark and Lex had this thing for each other. But flying through the air in a tight embrace? Now that’s something. Beat that, Lois Lane!

“Lex … Will you marry me?”

Watch it online

So if you missed Smallville, or if you’re dying to see the new season, you can watch Episode 1: Zod on YouTube.

Update: You can download the torrent here. Just go install a BitTorrent client if you don’t have one yet.

Watch out for the “Kneel before Zod” moment!

And here’s the preview trailer for Episode 2: Sneeze:

I’ll probably post a review of the season opener later on ForeverGeek.

I’ll be guesting at Ricky Carandang‘s regular bloggers feature portion of his daily news programme at ANC (the ABS-CBN News Channel). The interview will be airing live at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow (Tuesday, August 22nd).

I just got the SMS and call from ANC this morning (I just woke up and was quite groggy ) to arrange for the interview, so I won’t have as much time to prepare as the last time. This would be a studio guesting, though so it would be different. And it’s live! I hope I get to record this. Does anyone have recording equipment?

I’ve never really been a Smallville fan as some people I know are (there are computer geeks, and there are comics geeks, and there are Smallville geeks, and geeks of all kinds). However, a few weeks back, I chanced upon a Season 5 DVD set and thought I’d catch up on the episodes. I was able to watch many of the previous seasons episodes on TV (Studio 23, Tuesday evenings) but that’s just about it. However, the summer (northern hemisphere) release of Superman Returns rekindled an interest in the series and so here I am finding myself watching a couple of episodes each dawn after publishing my blog posts for the day …
