Smallville Returns

Tonight marks the (hopefully) triumphant return of Smallville with an all new episode called “Unsafe”. The first half of the season has certainly been very lackluster, so I hope they have saved the best for the second half. Tonight’s episode might be a little iffy.

I came across a good Smallville site today called KryptonSite. Great content. Episode guide, cast bios, and more importantly, spoilers. You might want to stop reading if you don’t want any surprises ruined.

KryptonSite is reporting that sometime mid February Chloe finds out Clark’s big secret. And about time I say. This whole Clark keeping his “secret” is getting old. He wants so desperately to let someone into his private world, but he “can’t”. His buddy Pete Ross knows, and now he is no where in sight. Many times so far Clark has been on the verge of divulging his big news, but then doesn’t. Come on! Chloe is the next logical person. Tell her!

Of course, according to the mythos, Lana knows Clark’s secret. But we should realize by now that the DC Universe is fair game for a little interpretation and re-invention (Lois Lane should have been a big clue). Since Chloe is not part of the DCU, let her in on Clark’s abilities. If they don’t, there might be a rebellion on their hands in TV Land.

Another thing that I wish they would do with Smallville is stick to only a couple of writers. Millar and Gough episodes are always good. Jeph Loeb, the quintessential Superman writer should write a few more episodes per season, and somehow get Joss Whedon (of Buffy fame) on board writing. We would have some totally cool episodes then.

We’ll see how tonight’s episode pans out.
