I wonder who they are adding and who they are taking out. my guess is martha out jimmy in but not sure about anyone else.

It'd be interesting if Kristin were taken off the credits for the first few eps, like they did with Allison during Season 4. Then, they could add her back in, when Lana shows up.

Yea i hope they have kristen out of the credits too like they did with allison in season 4 untill lana is fully back which is episode 3. Also i cant wait to see order of cast this season and in the credits i hope they put in the justice league walk away from expolison scene from justice somewhere in the credits.

Oh yeah, you can bet your bottom dollar they'll incorporate the "Justice League walking from explosion OMG" shot into the opening credits somehow.

i have seen that justic league walking away from the explosion shot so many times omg!! i was so shocked when it didn't appear on the cover of the season six dvd but then i opened it and what do you know there it was lol. i'm sure it will be in the opening credits. i'm sure jimmy will be there now but not sure about laura vanderhoot (that's what i call her) just yet. yeah martha will be gone sigh. how about adding shelby the dog (can't remember the dogs real name wasn't it bud or somehing lol)
superhippie2000
09-27-2007, 12:17 PM
I hope they add the justice league walk in it. that would be cool.
They should add Shelby to the credits.

09-27-2007, 12:47 PM
the whole opening credis should be of shelby less then 5 mins of screen timein what 18 episodes
I just hope they don't spell anyones name wrong. :lol:

Justice walk will soo be in it. I hope they add something from Hydro or Crimson to Lois' credits. Hopefully Lana won't be in the first few episode credits (unless they show her in China in "Bizarro").

I bet the Justice shot will take place of the Clark flying away shot from Crusade at the end of the credits.

I think if they take kritin out because lana is "dead" then they would take chloe out because she is also "dead".

I think it's Ausiello that said that Kristin/Lana will be in this ep.
But they might not include her in the opening credits tonight because they don't want to spoil casual viewers but definitely by Kara.

The new credits are okay...but it's not really much of a jump from last year. I find it funny that a season that's supposed to be pro-Clana has practically no Clana scenes, but last season had 2. :rolleyes: And what's with them moving the actors all around, Allison has always been 5th since Lois came on the credits, and Kristin has always been 2nd. :confused:
Doesn't really matter but yeah...

No. She has always been billed after TW. This season, MR is billed after TW and AM was moved before ED.

Honestly, I don't rabidly hate Lana like the more annoying of this boards' population, but I'm glad to see MR get second billing. With Lana in China he is more important to this season, or at least the start of this season, then Lana currently is. Plus, it may all come down to contract. KK may have been okay with getting third billing since she's in it less, and MR might've wanted second billing because he's still a major player, moreso than Lana.

I really don't place too much emphasis on the order of the credits, but I think that in KK's case, they moved her down because the clexana love triangle is kind of over. So now, maybe TPTB want to put Clark and Lex at the top because there will be more stuff happening between them that won't have anything to do with Lana.

I don't either, but as far as contract negotiations go, in the world of TV these things are important. Lots of actors have stipulations about where they want to appear in the credits, if they want "with" or "and" or "starring" before their name, etc. etc.

Or maybe, since this is Michaels last season he asked to be number two on the credits, and because Kristin probably doesn't care, she's number 3 now.
It could be just as you're saying as well.

ITA. Michael should have always been second, since the Clark/Lex relationship is the most important one. And I'm happy that Allison has been moved up. She deserves it. It was good to see Aaron Ashmore in there, too.
Stephen Robinson
09-28-2007, 10:41 AM
personally I don't think ED should have been bumped down
*************
SER: Allison usually appears in every episode of the season (a notable exception being when she was "dead" in the 4th season). Erica appears in only 13 out of 22. Although, I'm not sure if that factored into it.
First season, it was the male and female lead first (Tom and Kristin), then the second male lead (Michael), then the supporting players (Eric Johnson, Sam Jones, and Allison), followed by the "parents" (with... Annette O'Toole and Jon Schneider). I think the supporting characters were listed alphabetically (it worked out that way at least).
Second season, Eric is gone. John Glover replaces him but not in the credits order. He's put toward the end with the "parents" (appearing before Annette and Jonathan but that could also be for alphabetical reasons).
The next major cast change was in the 4th season, when Sam Jones left -- Jensen Ackles replaced him. When Jensen left at the end of the season, Eric replaced him in the credits order. However, this adhered to the standard alphabetical listing.
This season, there really is no alphabetical listing: It's the male leads, then the female leads (with Allison getting preference over Erica), then the supporting players (Aaraon Ashmore and Laura Vandervoort). John Glover gets the "and" listing (no Martha or Jonathan Kent)

Why not? I always thought Erica didn't deserve that placement in the credits. Allison has more screentime, her character is more important and has been in the show the longest. It's about time they recognized that!!!
No offense to Erica, I think she's great.

I completely agree. I hope that the rearrangement in the credits means that TPTB will be emphasizing the Clark/Lex storyline rather than clexana.
And AM finally gets her deserved higher spot in the credits. :) I love ED, but AM's been on the show longer.
I also thought they did a good job picking pictures to show. For TW, the background shot of Clark revealing the House of El symbol (aka proto-"S" shield) from "Exile." Im glad that for MR they kept the scene from "Zod" where Zod/Lex and Clark are fighting in the sky, I always thought that was a cool scene and Im glad its been in the credits for hte past two seasons. Also, the zoom in on Lex from last seasons finale was a cool add. I also liked that they added for ED the scene from "Combat" where she's fighting.
Finally, I think they did a good job with the shots of AA and LaVa.
lanahot
09-28-2007, 12:18 PM
I don't like that Lana was moved third grrr. Probably because its Michaels last year. But i think the credits have been tacky from season 6 onwards, because they keep using the same clips that were used in season 5 credits. The bit where clark jumps onto the lorry and the producers names pop up, they keep that. And where a clip only lasts half a second long, it just looks tacky.
ms.c.
09-28-2007, 12:28 PM
Allison and Michael deserve those spots and they have for a long time. The change was overdue. I am thrilled about the new credits. I also like the scenes they chose for both of them over their name.
I also thought it was interesting how Lana/KK's scenes emphasized Dark!Lana.

I love the new credits. Just love them. MR is second billing and about time I say. We are watching the journey of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor after all. Maybe this season will be more focused on them then stupid triangles.
And AM is fourth. Yay! She's been there from the start. She's been in every single episode for the past two seasons. She's deserved this spot for a long long time.
It was weird not to have AoT in the credits :( But I think they did a good job with AA and LV. Overall I'm a happy bunny :)

I was just about to say something like this until I read your post. :lol: Totally agree, AM belongs in her place as 4th and LMAO at ED being the most important female in the show. She's only in 13 episodes... It's more like:
KK>AM>LV>>>>>ED. So I'm exaggerating (just a tiny bit) but in all seriousness, kryptonaid you really need to stop bashing Lana/KK in every single post you make. Not cool at all.

AM4lois
09-28-2007, 08:06 PM
I LOVED the new credits. But I don't actually get the order, though... AM was upped to second leading lady? I don't really get it, because last year, it was by last name's order:
The big three: TW, KK, MR
"Supporting cast": ED, AM
"The adult cast": AoT, JG
And the reason to put ED before Chloe was the last name order, even though AM was in every episode for the past two seasons and has seniority over ED. I was cool with that, didn't mind one bit.
Now, these credits, I'm a bit lost, love them, but I'm lost as for their logic. Seniority, maybe?
Two leads: TW, MR
"Leading ladies": KK, AM
Supporting cast in only 13 epis, by seniority: ED, AA, LV
The only adult remaining: JG
That's the only sense I can make out of this...

That is what I think and hence why as a kk fan I didn't give a "stink" about it (not that it would make a difference what I say lol).....KK seems to be the type of person not bothered with things like this such as placement on the credits (popularity contests and such) She is more interested in conserving energy per her recent charity invlovement with B.C. Hydro....You go girl :D

ED plays LOIS LANE! there is no more female character more important in the superman myth than her! Nevermind chloe who is an original creation

MR has been the only one vocal about leaving after this season...AM and KK have contracts up this season as well but there hasn't been any "recent" official confirmation from both of them unlike MR....So your point is?

No, only TW ED JG and apparently and probably LV and AA are the ones continuing for the 8th, the first 3 being the only ones signed

It was a question not a point.
And your point is?

My point was....what does it matter if KK is leaving or not in relation to this thread (order of the actors name). You didn't ask "Is KK leaving" but "Isn't KK leaving" hence why it sounded as if you were stating it as a reason for the change in order. But if you were just asking...then I guess I answered your question anyway lol
Is that more clear for you lol

You know, and I'm not favoring Chloe over Lois because I love them both, Chloe deserves 4th, I think. She's been there from the start, and she's only missed 2 episodes, I think. Crusade and Memoria. Lois popped in Season 4 and since then appeared in 13 episodes. Chloe is more important, whether she's cannon, original, or not. Chloe is important to the show, Lois isn't as important yet - at least I think so.
That being said, I still love Lois. (:

I'm glad they finally got the credits right! Clark, Lex, Lana and Chloe have been there since the start. They should be the first 4 to appear.

As much as I love Erica/Lois, I think Allison deserves to be billed above her. And I was glad to see Michael get second billing, but I think that isn't really a big deal since he and Kristin have both been around and major players since day one. LOVED seeing Aaron in there, but I was kind of irritated that Laura was there. I feel like Supergirl is being shoved on us. Lionel, Lois, and Jimmy were all eased in as guest stars at first and then moved up to regulars. They shoved Jason Teague on us and look how that turned out. But I'm trying to keep an open mind about Kara until we actually see her. :p /rant

Well I agree that Allsion should be shown 4th because she has been there since day one.

I always wondered why Lois was billed first for the last 2 years. I like her a lot better now, but Chloe was there since the beginning and she deserved to be billed earlier. Allison also missed Legacy (maybe a few more episodes in season 2--Skinwalker?). I can't remember if she was in Hereafter.

I don't think it matters who has been around for the longest. Johnathan, Lionel and Martha had been there from the start, but they've always been behind Erica, and now Jimmy and Kara.
I'm pretty sure they base the credit order on who will be in the show most during that season.
As we can see, this season will be based around Clark and Lex more than Clark and Lana.
But Lana will still be in it more than Lois and Chloe.
And Lois and Chloe will be in it more than Kara and Jimmy.
etc etc..
On a side note, no matter how much Erica is in the show (even if it's more than Kristin), I don't think they will ever make the credit order "Clark, Lex, Lois" (or Clark, Lois, Lex). It'll be too Lois and Clark-y.
That's what I think.

The problem I have with now is that there's too many new members now. John Glover at the end, "Stay with me" that's the part where I get the chills but Lionel is blocking it!

Acording to Tabby Marie, the girl that runs Allison Mack site, the only ones that signed for an 8th season are TW, ED and JG. She said that Allison told her that she is not coming back for an 8th season, neither is Kristin.

Allison also missed Insurgence if I remember correctly.
I noticed a blooper when rewatching the new credits - don't know if anyone else has noticed it yet. Before Laura Vandervoort's name comes up, when the letters are smooshing together, it still says "Aaron Ashmore." Watch and you'll see.
As for the order of the credits, I'm sure contract stuff is what rearranged it, but also, Smallville always was the story of Clark vs. Lex so that just highlights that. As for the first four in the credits, Tom, Kristin, Michael, and Allison are the only actors to be in all 22 episodes (as far as I know) - all of the others are 13 or less. With those people, they're on in order of when they were introduced, with the exception of John Glover, who now is the only older person of the cast.

Hey Craig!!! You know what that means, hehe..... In the Cast & crew section, you're gonna have to move AM from 'supporting cast' into the Tom, Michael & Kristin + Allison category.

I miss AOT and JS. Having them there gave the show more depth. Now it feels too much like a teenybopper show. Nothing against teenyboppers, but I liked the show with some adult perspectives. Heavy sigh.

Lex after Clark is ok, but I donīt know what was the fool of lana doing there, itīs supposed Highschool is OVER!, and that seems that we have to stand another tourturing season of lana?:( , what a nightmare. , Lois and Chloe deserve to be first.:p

ED is in about 13 episodes to AM's 22. They gave ED a higher billing than AM when she first came on, which I didn't feel was right

It's about darn time. Never understood the reason for putting ED before AM (this is not a bash against ED). And I'm thrilled they FINALLY put Lex right behind Clark. Isn't that where he should have been all this time?

Not really. I still consider Chloe to be a supporting character, even if she does often have better material than some of the "Big Three." It's no offense to Allison or the work shes done; I just have always disliked the insistence of a "Big Four" when eeally there's not.

Case in point, Family Ties. When it first started, Michael J Fox's character was only a supporting character, it was only thru his popularity that he was made one of the central characters
Clark is the central character in Smallville, every one else is orbiting his universe on his transition to Smallville
