Al
Gough & Miles Millar In Smallville Magazine #4
Alfred
Gough and Miles Millar talk about the third season of the show
in issue #4 of Titan's Official Smallville Magazine.
The official release date for the magazine is Dec. 21 although
the magazine can already be found at some major bookstore chains.
Here
are some highlights from their interview with Richard Matthews:
Miles
Millar on the diminished role and eventual departure of Sam
Jones III as Pete Ross:
"We miss him occasionally now in the stories, but it
was one of those situations where either you use him or you
don't use him and we felt sometimes we were fighting to find
scenes for the character. We love Sam Jones, but Clark talks
to his parets instead - they're really Clark's confidants. There
are often scenes where we wish he could come in and comment
and we want to bring him back, as long as we can find the right
situation or storyline. We just felt that we were wasting him
and wasting the character."
Millar
on Clana in Season Three:
"We played this for 60-odd episodes," says Millar.
"Enough already - let's find something else. He's always
going to love her, so that for us is still the core and he can
be the unrequited love for her."
Millar
on a Clark/Lana union being suicide for the show:
"We had this scene in Exodus where they finally went
out, with them picnicking, and horses and we thought 'well,
that's boring as hell, we're not going to do that for a whole
season.' That's the Moonlighting curse, the kiss of death for
any of these shows. These two have to be apart and we then get
all this Internet stuff saying 'they've gotta be together, when
are they gonna be together?" Soon as they're together -
Game over."
Smallville
Magazine
#4 features tributes to the late Christopher Reeve and big new
interviews with Tom Welling and Allison Mack. There's also an
interview with executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar
inside, and there is a really cool look at Smallville's
"mythology episodes." And of course if that's not
enough... a free Allison Mack poster!
