Al Gough In Wizard #180
Smallville's executive producer Al Gough is interviewed in issue #180 of Wizard magazine, where he talks about Smallville Season Six. Here are some highlights:

  • "Season Six is about the price of being a hero," Gough told Wizard. "We've left Clark in this predicament and when he comes back his father is dead, his girlfriend has left him and other people in his life begin to move on. He's beginning to ask, 'Is this hero thing worth it'?"
  • Gough talks about Lex and Lana getting together and promises "the Clark-Zod smackdown we all want to see."
  • "Now that he has Lana, is he going to corrupt the one person he truly loves?" Gough asks. "Is he capable of having something good in his life and not f--king it up?"
  • The article talks about Chloe reuniting with Jimmy and mistakenly says their past romance was mentioned in Season Five. Oops. (It was in Season Four's "Unsafe") The article also covers the whole Green Arrow guest appearance, and has a promotional shot of Justin Hartley from the Aquaman pilot that we really want around here.
  • And for a big spoiler for Season Six: "There's a danger that's bigger than Smallville and bigger than Metropolis," Gough reveals. "Perhaps it will come from the Phantom Zone."
  • Both Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling are expected to direct episodes in Season Six.
  • Gough hopes there will be a Season Seven. "We have a lot more stories to tell," he says. Though he does imply that not everyone is safe from the Grim Reaper. "Lex, Clark, and Lois are safe, but everybody else is up for grabs."
