‘’‘’Smallville’’ Gets Major Kudos, Spoilers Galore In Entertainment Weekly!’’

‘’Smallville’’ gets some big time, dubious honors in the current November 25, 2005 issue of ‘’Entertainment Weekly Magazine’’.

After you drool over the glorious full page photos of our favorite citizen of ‘’Smallville’’, Clark Kent/Superman, aka, actor hunky and talented Tom Welling on pages 7, and 62, flip to page 63 with it’s excellent article about the show’s 5th season, ‘’Small Wonders-A Heroic Effort’’.

EW Magazine raves on about how season 5 has ditched the snail trail, limp writing that slogged up seasons 3 and 4, and is a brilliant return to form of the stellar storytelling and writing that we all came to know and love in the show’s first 2 breath taking seasons, which chronicled the younger years of perhaps comic books’ greatest of super heroes.

Another addition in making this season a winner, is a BIG injection of fresh blood with the introduction to ‘’Smallville’’, of fan favorite characters from the original ‘’Superman’’ and DC comics, Brainiac (played to the hilt by the venerable, most fabulous James Marsters of ‘’Buffy The Vampire Slayer’’) and Aquaman, (played with such addictive energy by ‘’American Idol’s’’ Alan Ritchson, that Aquaman now is getting his own pilot!)

‘’Smallville’s’’ parent Network, the WB, has taken careful notice too, and says that the show has seen a 1.5 million jump in viewer ratings over last year’s 4th season, to total some 5.8 million viewers weekly.

What makes these figures even more remarkable is that ‘’Smallville’’, which has previously been wedged in 2 other time slots, initially in its very successful, Tuesday night lineup in seasons 1 and 2, is now slotted on Thursday nights, EST USA time at 8:00 pm up against heavy hitters hits, ‘’The O.C.’’ on the Fox Network, ‘’Alias’’ on ABC, and Chris Rock’s ‘’Everybody Hates Chris’’ on the UPN Network.

A feat worthy of the one and only Kryptonian superhero, Superman!

EW Magazine says that David Janollari, President of WB Entertainment says, ‘’This is the year that the boy becomes the man.’’

So what’s in store for Clark this season? Well first we must yell SPOILER ALERT!! and so we must inform you that you must proceed with caution, as we reveal beforehand knowledge of this season’s super twists!

Well, for one, it seems that the friendship that once was between Clark and Lex finally sees its end and that what will become their notorious battle of good (Clark) versus evil (Lex) finally boils to an ugly head.

We also will get to witness the genesis of the Fortress of Solitude, a major character will DIE in the 100th episode which will air in February, 2006, and best of all....Clark and Lana will at last get their groove on, make whoopee, do the wild thing, translation, make torrid, passionate love/have SEX!!

EW Magazine interviews ‘’Smallville’s’’ cast and crew starting with Executive Producer Al Gough who says, ‘’We came into the season knowing we were going to be able to turn over some big cards. Everything you’ve been waiting to see, is now going to happen.’’

Tom Welling adds his thoughts too saying, ‘’As long as we stick to what the show was about originally in the mythology of these characters and where we all know they’re going to be in the future, there’s no way of knowing how far it can go.’’

Well said Tom! We hope ‘’Smallville’’ keeps sticking with the spectacular program so to speak, and that it (and you TOM) keep us glued to the edge of our seat, enthralled and waiting with baited breath for each new episode as Clark, Lana, Lex, Brainiac, Chloe, heck, even Jonathan and Martha Kent…keep us wanting to tune in to the further adventures of legendary super hero, Superman, for many more seasons to come, as you save the world from Lex and other megalomaniac super powered endowed baddies, while still looking hot and buff in your blue unitard, all while steamily romancing Lana!

Faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap other so called hit TV series, in a single bound!
