Screen Captures From The "Prophecy" Preview Trailer!
Thanks to Mr. Video, we now have screen captures from the trailer for "Prophecy," the May 6 episode of Smallville.
In the caps, you can again see the gathering of super-villains around a table of doom, and you'll also get a better look at who might be putting on a Legion ring...
In a recent interview at OnTheRedCarpet.com, Teri Hatcher talked briefly about her appearance in the "Abandoned" episode of Smallville.
"I was really excited to be on Smallville. I'd never been on it," Hatcher said. "They asked me sort of on a whim, they didn't think I would do it and I was like 'of course I'll do it!'"
Teri also talked about the wig she wore for the scene, which was similar to her hairstyle from Lois & Clark. "I loved getting that hairstyle back. Even for a day," she said.
Teri also spoke about the incoming Lois Lane, Amy Adams, who will be playing the role in the upcoming Superman film, The Man Of Steel.
The clip itself can be found here, and thanks to Mr. Video, we have screen captures from the preview clip for "Prophecy," the May 6 episode of Smallville.
The screen captures feature Tom Welling, Cassidy Freeman, Erica Durance, and guest star Britt Irvin (Stargirl). And Doctor Who fans might agree with me that it looks like they're all standing around the TARDIS.
Sadly typical of ratings at this time of year, but sad to see happening near the end of a long-running series, "Dominion" fell a little bit more compared to last week.
There was also stiffer competition in the form of a Royal Wedding special.

The Last Run Of Smallville Episodes Begins Tonight!
Sad to say, Smallville will be over in less than a month.
But thankfully - we have a few more episodes before it's all over!
Tonight at 8PM (ET), The CW shows the first of those final episodes, with "Kent" - a return to the alternate universe from "Luthor!" What will the naughty Clark Luthor do this time? Watch and see!
On our forum, the Countdown/LIVE Thread is already open to count down to the episode and chat live with other fans while the show is on! The full "Kent" forum is here.
Here are some extras associated with the episode that you may enjoy:
Interview: Smallville's Executive Producer Kelly Souders Talks About The Final Episodes!
Last week, Krypton Site spoke with Smallville's Executive Producer Kelly Souders about the final installments of the series.
The last run of episodes starts April 15 with an episode titled "Kent." From there on out, we will have new episodes through May 13 when the show's 10-year journey comes to an end.
We posted some hints about the finale from Ms. Souders on in a brief interview we put up last week; now, check out what else she had to say about the rest of the series, from this Friday's "Kent" all the way to the end of the show.
New Smallville Finale Teaser Features John Williams "Superman" Music
A new CW Smallville video teaser for the series finale (airing May 13!) made its way online yesterday. It's very short, but it contains some very Super sounds.
Interview: Smallville's Executive Producer Kelly Souders Offers Finale Hints!
KryptonSite was one of several media outlets who just spoke with Smallville's Executive Producer Kelly Souders about the final installments of the series.
The last run of episodes starts April 15 with an episode titled "Kent." From there on out, we will have new episodes through May 13 when the show's 10-year journey comes to an end.
We'll be posting the full interview with Kelly Souders next week, but because most of you over on Twitter promised you'd watch the Pilot re-airing if something was posted early, we've got some items about the series finale that we couldn't resist posting.
Smallville Hits The Cover Of TV Guide On Newsstands Today!
The new issue of TV Guide Magazine has Tom Welling and Erica Durance on the cover and a whole lot of interview material as Smallville flies into its final six installments (yes, I'm counting "Finale" as two, so we get a bigger number).
The issue features some exclusive photography, including this cover and an original image of Tom & Erica on the inside.
The issue should be hitting newsstands today. The best place to look is often grocery stores, but be aware they might not put them out until the afternoon or even Friday.

We have just added six more images to our Breaking In Rosenbaum gallery which you can find at our general TV news site, KSiteTV.
Pilot Week Interview: Eric Johnson Looks Back On Playing Smallville's "Whitney"
Before the final run of new Smallville episodes begin, The CW is doing something special this Friday (April 8) by re-airing the very first episode of the series from October 2001.
One face that might be new to people who weren't around to see the show the first time is Eric Johnson, who played Whitney in Smallville's first season. Now, ten years later, he has given an interview to KryptonSite where he looks back at those classic days and he updates us on what he is currently up to.
The CW is re-airing the pilot episode of Smallville on Friday, and Zap2It caught up with Tom Welling to learn that he, too, has revisited the very first show.
"I've revisited the pilot a few times," Tom told Zap2It, "sometimes by accident, other times for research, and I'm always amazed how far we've come. I'm 10 years older and 30 lbs. heavier -- I don't know how that happened! -- but I think the pilot still holds up. It doesn't necessarily look dated or out-of-touch."

Zack Snyder Credits Smallville With "Keeping Superman Alive"
In a brief audio interview, the director of the next Superman movie credited Smallville with keeping the character in the public eye for the past decade.
After ten years of filming in Burnaby, BC up in Canada, Smallville finishes its time up there with the last day of shooting happening today.
We want to thank the cast and crew for doing a phenomenal job up there, and we share in the sadness that this epic time is coming to an end.
There are some fantastic people up there who work together to make a great product every week. It's really strange, at least to me, to think of that studio lot being empty... although we hear the Secret Circle pilot might be taking over some of that studio space, though that is unconfirmed. (If they are shooting there, they sure as heck better hire as many Smallville alums as possible - they're good people!)
To sum it all up in just two words... Thank You.
24 Preview Images From The Next New Smallville - "Kent!"
Smallville returns with new episodes on April 15, and that's not all that's returning on that night... someone from the show's past is in the episode as well!
The CW has released 24 images from the episode, which is called "Kent," and now all 24 images are posted here at KryptonSite!

While we wonder if we'll see Clark's Superman costume on Smallville revealed before May 13, we now have our first look at Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman from the TV pilot that is currently filming.
New episodes of Smallville don't begin again until April 15, but thankfully, The CW released this promo trailer to whet our appetites, and now, thanks to Mr. Video, we have screen captures of this trailer, which includes the return of a familiar face, a rock... and a funeral.
Most of the clips are from the April 15 episode "Kent" but there are a few shots from "Booster" as well.

Smallville's First "Supergirl" Is Now Wonder Woman!
Seven years ago, the name Adrianne Palicki first became well known to Smallville fans (and the world!) when she played a girl who seemed to be Clark's Kryptonian cousin "Kara" in the Season Three finale of Smallville, titled "Covenant."
You probably remember it; it was one of the best episodes of the entire series.
Now, Palicki has landed another high-profile DC Comics role - her third if you count her role as a "siren" in the Aquaman pilot - as she will be playing Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, in NBC's soon-to-shoot Wonder Woman TV pilot. If successful, it could be a series starting Fall 2011.
The news about the Smallville series finale keeps getting better.
Greg Beeman has announced that he will be directing the final episode of Smallville.
The announcement came this afternoon on his Beaming Beeman blog.
Beeman has directed some of the series' most memorable episodes, starting with "Hothead" and including such episodes as "Crusade," "Commencement," "Reckoning," and last year's season finale, "Salvation."
The finale airs on May 13.

MICHAEL ROSENBAUM WILL BE BACK IN THE SERIES FINALE!
Yes, that had to be capitalized and printed in large letters.
After some not-so-encouraging news came in Entertainment Weekly, TVLine's Michael Ausiello was the first to come through with the news we all wanted: Michael Rosenbaum will indeed be back for the Smallville series finale on May 13.
“I’m delighted to return for the series finale,” Rosenbaum said in a statement. “I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.”
“I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be,” he continued.
Executive Producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders released a statement about Michael's return. Here's what they had to say:
"It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn't be more excited about having Michael back. And as far as the way he returns … there'll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent's life. He *is* the villain of the story."
Tonight: Martha & Lionel Are Back In A New Smallville!
Several Smallville favorites from the show's past, including Annette O'Toole, John Glover, and Lucas Grabeel, appear in an all-new episode that airs Friday night!
The Countdown/LIVE Thread is already open to count down to the episode and chat live with other fans while the show is on! The full "Collateral" forum is here.
Here are some extras associated with the episode that you may enjoy:
Don't forget a new Supernatural airs at 9PM (ET) after the show!
Exclusive Interview: Annette O'Toole Talks About Her Return To Smallville In Tonight's Episode!
One of our favorite people returns to Smallville tonight with the episode "Beacon."
That person, of course, is Annette O'Toole (Martha Kent), and in an exclusive KryptonSite interview, she talks about what it was like to return to the show again in its final season.
If you just can't wait for Friday night to see Annette O'Toole on TV again, you're in luck: She's also on tonight's episode of Private Practice which airs on ABC at 10PM.
"I play a woman whose son has been killed in Iraq six months ago, and she's dealing with that, but she founds out something she didn't know, which is that he had a child with a female soldier, and the female soldier has been practically blinded by shrapnel in this explosion that killed the son," she tells us.
"There's a baby that she didn't know about, and once she finds that out, she comes to the hospital where this woman is being treated to take the baby," she continues. "It's a nice character because you think it's going to be one thing and then it turns out to be another."
Annette tells us that it's the B-story of tonight's show and many of her scenes are with Tim Daly, who, along with Lucas Grabeel on her recent Smallville guest appearance, introduced her to the world of an iPad. Considering Tim Daly is one of the most famous voices of the Superman character, and adding the fact that Annette's husband, Michael McKean, bought her an iPad, that means that Superman, Lex Luthor, and Perry White were all her enablers.
"Scion" Official Description!
The CW has released a very short official description for the March 4 episode of Smallville.
More incorrect listings have recently shown up on IMDB. We've announced it on our Twitter feed, but since not everyone follows that and we're still getting e-mails, it bears repeating.
First off: Robbie Amell is NOT playing Conner Kent in the episode "Kent." We've gotten confirmation on this from the studio, but also, Amell himself has confirmed that he's not doing Smallville at this time (though he'd love to).
Secondly, IMDB lists Michael Rosenbaum as appearing in episode #20 of the season. Again, this is a case where someone with wishful thinking has submitted to the Internet Movie Database, and as it is user-submitted, it can't always be quality-controlled. We'd love to see Rosenbaum, but honestly... if he's coming back, it's going to be broken by someone like Ausiello, NOT just a random IMDB posting.

John Schneider Confirms Another Smallville Return
John Schneider just Tweeted that he is back on the set of Smallville.
@therealtrueshit: Back on the set of "Smallville" and. Loving it!
The episode currently filming, "Kent," sounds a bit like "Luthor" from earlier this season... since Schneider Tweeted this now it's safe to say that's when he will be back.
Tonight at 8PM (ET) on The CW... a day-old repeat of The Vampire Diaries!JUST KIDDING.
Actually, this week Smallville finally returns, with an all-new episode that features, among other things, the return of Allison Mack's Chloe Sullivan!

Two More Episode Titles - And A Change In Episode Airing Order
We're getting closer and closer to having no more titles to share, as we have now added the titles for episodes #10.19 and #10.20 to the KryptonSite Spoilers Page -- as well as a hint about the title for #10.22, the series finale.
In addition, KryptonSite has learned that the airing order for "Booster" and "Kent" has changed. Now, "Kent" will air 17th in the season, followed by the DC Comics-friendly (and surely more effects-heavy) "Booster" as #18.
So that new Tom Welling image turned out to be from "Masquerade," the Feb. 18 episode of Smallville, and now The CW has released 22 images from the episode!
The new gallery is now fully posted here at KryptonSite.
Finally: A Good Promo Image Of Clark In The Jacket!
The CW has released two new promotional images of Tom Welling. We're not sure if it's from an upcoming episode or if it's part of a gallery, so we're including it in our Season 10 image gallery.
A Two-Hour Finale For Smallville? Plus, "Fortune" Details
TV Guide's William Keck posted a whole lot about the upcoming episode "Fortune" today, including the image to your left, but he ALSO posted an interesting detail about the series finale.
Here's what he said:
I'm also hearing the finale may be a two-hour send-off — with one last visit from Supergirl!
Deadline.com is reporting that British actor Henry Cavill has been chosen to play Superman in the upcoming Zack Synder-directed film The Man Of Steel.
Snyder has made this statement about the casting:
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”
The targeted release date for The Man Of Steel is December 2012, and unlike the last Superman movie, we will be providing updates here on KryptonSite - got to have something to write about once Smallville is over, right?
Reports: Supergirl & Zod To Return Before Series' End
TVLine is reporting news that was first reported by the Superman Homepage last week, that Laura Vandervoort will be returning to Smallville sometime within the final five episodes of the series.
This comes soon after news from TV Guide that Callum Blue's Zod will also be returning for an appearance within the final five shows.
No confirmation yet on when exactly either appearance will come.
Those of us with superhero withdrawals after May might have something new to watch this Fall.
Although it seemed that all four major networks would pass on the project, NBC has put in a pilot order for David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman TV project after all.
Details, including some basic plot information, are already becoming available. And you can surely bet WonderWomanTV.com will be a K-Site-like destination once it all gets rolling...
Now can The CW pick up Raven to make this Fall twice as nice, or is that asking too much?
Before Jaime Reyes became the Blue Beetle, another man had the role. That would be Ted Kord, who TV Guide's Natalie Abrams revealed today will be played by Sebastian Spence in the upcoming Smallville episode "Booster."
41-year-old Spence counts recurring roles on Supernatural, First Wave, and Battlestar Galactica on his resume.
Jaren Brandt Bartlett Is The Blue Beetle!
Entertainment Weekly has revealed that 22-year-old Jaren Brandt Bartlett has gotten the role of Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle, in the upcoming Geoff Johns-penned episode "Booster."
Bartlett's previous credits include The Troop and Aliens In America.
Days Of Our Lives' Eric Martsolf Is Playing Booster Gold!
So they didn't get Captain Awesome from Chuck after all...
Soaps.com is reporting that Eric Martsolf from Days Of Our Lives has been cast in the role of Booster Gold.
So far, this has not been confirmed by the studio. However, these soap sites are often very good at fishing out information!
Thanks to Vanda for the tip.
Here's some trivia (thanks to Jory): When Martsolf appeared on Passions, he played the brother of Justin Hartley's character!
UPDATE: Thanks to Brett V. who pointed us in the right direction, Martsolf himself has Tweeted a link to the news... which makes us assume that yep, it's legit.
Erica Durance Is One Of The CW's "Kick-Ass Women!"
Last night during The CW leg of the Television Critics' Association Winter Press Tour, Erica Durance appeared on a panel with The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev and Candice Accola, Hellcats' Aly Michalka, as Nikita's Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca as one of the "Kick-Ass Women of The CW."
We weren't there, but the network released some photos, including a few including Erica, if you'd like to check them out at our general TV news site, KSiteTV.
Michael Ausiello says producers are "cautiously optimistic" about a Michael Rosenbaum return for Smallville's finale, but the man himself has said on Twitter that there haven't been any discussions lately.
Here's what Michael Rosenbaum posted from his @mrosenbaum711 account:
"Honestly don't know where people get their information from, but i haven't discussed Smallville with Producers or anyone in quite some time."

Ausiello: Producers Are "Cautiously Optimistic" About Rosenbaum Return; Lana Won't Be Back
In this week's "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine.com, Michael Ausiello updated fans on the latest news involving two people that are asked about a lot in these parts.
Question: Can you give us a big Smallville scoop? —Badr
Ausiello: If what I’m hearing about the show’s final batch of episodes is true, producers are at the very least cautiously optimistic that the very busy Michael Rosenbaum will be back. Kristin Kreuk, meanwhile, will definitely not be back. Sorry Lana fans. (There are Lana fans out there, yes?)
Smallville and Chloe Sullivan are back in new episodes starting February 4, and The CW has released a new official description complete with previously-unrevealed spoilers!
