Jor-El, the man who has been mentioned throughout the nine seasons of “Smallville” will finally show his face on the November 6 episode titled “Kandor“. The character previously voiced by Terence Stamp will be Julian Sands’ starring vehicle.
Jor-El mysteriously arrives at the Kent farm searching for his son, Kal-El, but meets Chloe instead. Convinced the Blur is Jor-El, Zod enlists Tess’ help in finding him to force him to reveal the secret to his powers. Clark realizes Jor-El is alive and on Earth and races to find him before Zod does.
Executive Producer Kelly Souders talked about the episode to TV Guide, saying that “Kandor” will shed a huge light on the character including the backstory.
In the beginning of the season Jor-El has given Clark the ability to hear thoughts. Asked whether Clark would receive more, Souders said, “I have to be honest. The idea is he’s doing some of that at the fortress. He has so much other story going on, we don’t see a lot of that for a little while, but it does come back into play. I can’t quite [tease any powers] because we’re breaking one of them as we speak and we’re going back and forth on exactly how the power works, but I can say that it’s a magnificent power.”
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13
“SMALLVILLE” (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET)
“Idol” (CONTENT RATING TBD) (HDTV)
DC COMICS THE WONDER TWINS SHOW UP TO HELP CLARK CLEAN UP METROPOLIS Superhero twins Zan (guest star David Gallagher) and Jayna (guest star Allison Scagliotti) show up in Metropolis to help The Blur fight crime but end up botching several rescues, landing Clark (Tom Welling) in hot water with the District Attorney’s office. Clark decides to come forward as the Blur to clear his name. Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman and Callum Blue also star. Glenn Winter directed the episode written by Ann Coffel Saunders (#3X5255).
A new DC Comics character is coming to “Smallville” next week but the show chooses to promote another part of the episode which is deemed “legendary“. The CW packed a preview for the October 30 episode called “Crossfire” with the Clark and Lois saga that finally extends to a kiss.
According to the synopsis, Lois asks Clark to help her land a job as an on-air television host, but the two are shocked when the station wants to hire them as a team. Executive Producer Brian Peterson made time to address the Clois dynamics with Daemon’s TV explaining that Lois is still very much in love with the Red-Blue Blur although she is starting to see Clark in a different way.
He said, “…Lois’s Achilles heel is that she’s always had a hero complex and she always falls for the bad boy hero or the hero, but she always falls for the hero. But here in front of her is probably the best guy that she’s ever going to meet in her life. So over the course of the season she’s falling even harder for Clark while still having that kind of pang of interest and mystery in this guy called The Blur.”
Clois aside, “Crossfire” will also focus on the arrival of Speedy. The character who is apt in archery will be played by Elise Gatien. Oliver tries to help her while she’s still identified as the street girl named Mia to get out of her dangerous life by offering to train her. However, Mia double crosses him.
One of the stars of “Smallville” was arrested this morning — after cops say he was part of a conspiracy to deal more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone.
TMZ has learned Sam Jones, who played Clark Kent’s best friend on the show, was taken into custody by DEA agents who claim Jones was a “co-conspirator” in a series of major drug deals in 2008.
According to documents filed in federal court, the DEA claims Jones was the “Hollywood connection” in a plot to illegally purchase and distribute the oxycodone.
Jones has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. He’s due in federal court in L.A. later today.
If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
As previously reported, some members of Justice Society of America (JSA) will come out of retirement to give the “screwed-up guys of next generation a needed smack-down” on “Smallville“. General Zod and Metallo have shown their faces while Roulette and Speedy are going to make their debut in the remaining episodes of this month. JSA line-up, meanwhile, has just been revealed.
Instead of the full line-up, producers said the society will only feature four of them, Hawkman, Spectre, Atom and Doctor Fate. However, it is recently revealed by Fancast that Stargirl will also make a cameo and that she will be played by Britt Irvin. The actress previously had a role on “George of the Jungle” and will be in the pilot of the upcoming “V”.
Meanwhile, only two out of the four mentioned guys in JSA have had their actors. According to IGN, Michael Shanks will be playing Hawkman while Brent Stait will be tackling Doctor Fate. Both played roles on “Stargate: Atlantis“.
The episode where they show up will air in January 2010.
Stargirl has the speed and agility born from being an avid gymnast. She can shoot stars from her Cosmic Converter Belt and manipulate the enemy’s energy. Hawkman is powered by Nth Metal which makes up his wings, belt, boots and harness. He is an expert with archaic weapons such as battle axes, spears and shields. Unlike them, Doctor Fate possesses a mystical power such as teleport, telekinesis and transformation.
IGN TV has now exclusively learned the names of two of the Justice Society members we’ll be meeting on the series - and the actors who have just been cast to play them.
As it turns out, Hawkman and Doctor Fate will both be part of the Smallville incarnation of the Justice Society. This goes hand in hand with DC Comics, where both characters have notable histories with the team and its various incarnations, dating back to the 1940s.
Playing Hawkman will be an actor who brings his own notable sci-fi following to the role. Michael Shanks, who has recently been appearing on Burn Notice, but is best known as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1, will portray the classic DC hero.
Doctor Fate will be played by Brent Stait, who had an ongoing role on Andromeda as Rev Bem. Stait also has experience in the Stargate world, having appeared on SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, along with the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods.
Geoff Johns recently wrote on Twitter that the third member of the Justice Society was “A girl. Who likes stars,” which all but ensures it’s Courtney Whitmore, AKA Stargirl, played by Britt Irvin (Aliens in America)
As previous Smallville spoilers have revealed, the Justice Society will be making an appearance on this CW hit.
Now, thanks to IGN TV, we’ve learned the precise characters that will appear in the episode penned by comic book writer Geoff Johns.
First up, Michael Shanks will portray Hawkman. The actor - seen below alongside the iconic Justice Society member - was most recently seen in Burn Notice and Stargate SG-1.
Secondly, Brent Stait will take on the role of Doctor Fate. The Canadian actor was recently seen in The L Word and has guest-starred on Supernatural.
The third Justice Society member will be Stargirl. She’ll be played by Britt Irvin, who has also appeared on Supernatural and will star in the upcoming CW series Life UneXpected.
At Oliver’s apartment, he and Lois start making out but she announces she has a surprise and steps into the next room for a minute. Oliver hears a car alarm and looks down to see two muggers attacking a couple. Oliver dons his Green Arrow costume and weaponry and attacks the two men. He takes down one but the other one gets in the couple’s car and tries to escape. Green Arrow shoots into the steering wheel.
Up above, Lois returns to find Oliver gone and wonders where he disappeared. Down below, he leaves the man in the car but the other man revives and shoots him in the chest.
Martha and Clark return home where Martha wants to celebrate Thanksgiving but Clark isn’t too enthused or thankful over the fact he has powers. Lois arrives to talk about how Oliver disappeared on her. She also reveals they have a report of Green Arrow being shot.
At the manor, Lana talks to Lex about getting involved in a LuthorCorp-sponsored halfway house for criminals but Lex tries to protect her and keep her out of it. Lana isn’t happy about Lex’s effort to protect her.
Clark confronts Oliver at his apartment but Oliver is exercising and unwounded, and denies that anything happens. Clark notices Oliver’s Green Arrow gear is out on a chair and accuses him of getting sloppy. In return Oliver complains he’s not doing anything about the current crime wave and tells him to get out. Oliver quickly becomes more angry and crushes a glass in his hand, but doesn’t seem to notice the pain. After Clark leave, Oliver takes an injection as Clark watches him with x-ray vision. After completing the injection, Oliver looks at his hand… which is now completely healed.
Clark goes to Lois’ apartment and finds that Oliver has sent her a bunch of flowers, but Lois is unimpressed. Clark warns her that Oliver is doing drugs and Lois concedes that might explain his disappearances. Lois refuses to abandon him and goes to see him.
Oliver confronts a Queen Industries employee, Dr. Pamela Black, who provided him with the drug, RL-65, and works for him. The doctor notes the test mice have been exhibiting violent tendencies and tells him to stop using the drugs, but he refuses and takes more of the drug.
Lionel visits Martha to tell her he won’t be coming for her Thanksgiving dinner. She insists he be there and he is clearly touched, and they almost kiss. Shocked, he apologizes and leaves.
Clark breaks into Oliver’s apartment, steals the syringe, and gives it to Chloe to run an analysis. She also notes they can’t confirm if Green Arrow was shot. Chloe then notices Lana coming in for a lunch date with her and tries to hustle Clark out without success, and an awkward moment ensues. After Clark leaves, Lana asks Chloe to check out the halfway house and she agrees… and then Lana collapses.
That night, Oliver dresses as Green Arrow and reviews footage he took of the carjacker who shot him. Lois arrives as he dons his full costume, and she takes him for a thief and belts him over the head. He shrugs off the blow and in a burst of rage shoves her through a glass table. Badly injured, she calls 911 as he flees.
Lana visits a doctor and describes how she’s been having constant headaches. Martha goes to see Lionel at his office and says that she values their relationship and wants him to be there for Thanksgiving.
Clark visits Lois at the hospital and she tells of how she caught Green Arrow robbing Oliver, and she can’t get hold of her boyfriend. Elsewhere in Metropolis, Green Arrow finds the carjacker who shot him and prepares to shoot him, but the man leaps off a ledge for a 50′ fall… and gets up from it. Green Arrow confronts him and demands answers, and the carjacker reveals that a female doctor comes to the halfway house where he’s at and gives them injections.
Lex confronts Dr. Black, who is trying to destroy the remaining RL-65 because people are now getting hurt, even though Lex has been financing her generously. Black wants out but Lex warns her that he can’t let her do that.
Chloe tells Clark about the drug, which causes rapid healing but also triggers the amygdale in the brain. She determines Dr. Black is the only one doing the research and she’s working with Queen Industries. They go to the laboratory and find it torn up and Black dead. Chloe finds a green arrow but Clark finds a secret folder with information on the halfway house that Lex is financing. They figure out that Lex was financing Black’s recent research and that he’ll be Green Arrow’s next target.
At the manor, Clark barges in to locate Lex and finds Lana brooding. Clark notices something is wrong and offers her a sympathetic ear, but Lana tells him it has nothing to do with him and asks him to go. He reluctantly leaves.
Lex is leaving his building with a security guard, who Green Arrow shoots down with an electric arrow. He takes Lex back to his office and demands that he sign a paper to turn his money over to all of the Metropolis charities. Green Arrow reveals he knows that Lex is involved at the halfway house and Black is dead. Lex fakes the pen being empty and goes for a gun, and they have a brief standoff until they both shoot and hit each other.
Oliver injects himself with a dose of the RL-65 as Clark arrives. Oliver is out of control, insisting Lex should die, and Clark finds Lex’s briefcase with the drug. He gives Lex the injection, shoving aside Oliver to do it. After a few tense moments, Lex revives and finds himself alone with a bloody shirt, an arrow, and no one in the room.
Later at Oliver’s apartment, Clark visits and the millionaire reveals he’s come to his senses, and explains that he was trying to emulate Clark’s invulnerability. Clark admits Oliver does a lot of good and invites him to their Thanksgiving dinner. Oliver refuses because Lois will be there but Clark insists he come and says that if Lois and Oliver are meant to be together, he won’t stand in the way.
Lana comes to visit Chloe at the reporter’s apartment and reveals that she is pregnant.
At the Kent farm, Lois shows Clark her new pie. Chloe arrives and reveals that Black was killed by one of the kids at the halfway house. Chloe keeps Lana’s secret while Oliver arrives and apologizes to Lois. Lois accepts his apology and after Lionel arrives they sit down to dinner and Clark asks them all to follow the family tradition of each person saying what they’re most thankful for. Clark is thankful for his mom and dad. Jimmy sends a text message to Chloe saying he misses her, and Lois and Oliver, and Martha and Lionel, are clearly happy together. At the manor, Lex and Lana are sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner but while Lana says everything is fine, she doesn’t mention the pregnancy.
