The Smallville: The Complete Series DVD Set Is Now Listed For $187.99
This deal might be gone by the time you read this, but as of this morning, the complete series Smallville DVD set has fallen to one of its lowest prices yet on Amazon.com.
If you haven't gotten a copy yet, now might be a good time!
We also understand that the set is now only £59.99 on Amazon UK for fans in the United Kingdom. However, this version does not have the two bonus discs which include the retrospective. The American version, linked below, does!
The CW Orders A Pilot For A Green Arrow TV Series!
Justin Hartley is not involved (so don't expect it to be a Smallville spin-off), but The CW has just officially ordered a pilot for a Green Arrow television series, titled simply Arrow.
David Nutter, who directed the Smallville pilot back in 2001 and has since gained quite a track record for successful pilots, is expected to direct.
Two Smallville Fan Groups Unite To Raise Money For The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation
Two of the fan groups devoted to the actresses of Smallville - who individually have raised money for charities in the past - are putting past fan rivalries aside in doing a fundraiser aimed at raising money for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
The two fan groups involved include Legendary Women, an organization that saw its origins in honoring Allison Mack and the Chloe Sullivan character, and Sweet, long considered the top meeting place for Lana, "Clana," and Kristin Kreuk fans. “There’s a tradition of Smallville fans raising money for the Reeve Foundation,” Carolyn West of Legendary Women, Inc. said in a press release. “It started in 2003 when Christopher Reeve first appeared on Smallville and it’s estimated fans have raised $7,600.00 over the years. In 2010 Legendary Women, Inc. turned it into an annual event and last year we were able to personally present actress Allison Mack with a certificate showing how much had been donated.”
“It made sense that this year Smallville fandom would unite to honor Lana and Chloe,” added Katie Silverman of Sweet. “On the show both characters cared deeply about the world and went to extraordinary measures to help others. Even though Smallville is now off the air, we can keep their spirits alive by supporting the Reeve Foundation in its efforts to cure spinal cord injuries and help those living with paralysis.”
You can find out more about their fundraising drive - which includes raffles! - at the SciFiTalk website. It's great to see Smallville fans coming together, and one can only hope this is the beginning of more combined efforts among the fandom to do good things, regardless of character preferences. If additional fan groups have their own projects going on, and it's a group or an organization that has done this on a larger scale before (as in, we've interacted before), please let us know and we'll pass the word along as well.

MORE Images Of Erica Durance As Wonder Woman (And Annie Bilson) In Harry's Law!
Erica Durance will be playing Wonder Woman next week.
Well, not exactly. She plays a woman who dresses up like Wonder Woman to dole out some vigilante justice on the January 11 episode of NBC's Harry's Law, produced by David E. Kelley, the same person who created that not-very-good Wonder Woman TV pilot earlier this year.
A few pictures went out last week, but now, NBC has released several more - not just of Erica as Wonder Woman, but also in her "civilian" alter ego of Annie Bilson.
Two New (But Small) Images From Erica Durance's New Series - Saving Hope!
Erica Durance 's new series Saving Hope, which also features Michael Shanks (Hawkman) and Daniel Gillies (The Vampire Diaries) in its cast, doesn't yet have an announced network here in the United States, but it's definitely going to air in Canada on CTV.
One of the show's distributors has released another bio about Saving Hope as well as two new images of Erica from the new show.

Smallville Season 11 Is [Possibly] Coming... As A Novel

Unlike some of the televised "Smallville is returning" rumors, this one may have some legs, especially as Miller has worked with DC Comics before on their Batgirl comic.
Stay tuned for more details as soon as they become available or confirmation comes from DC Comics.

Film Starring Allison Mack & Ryan Robbins Directed By Smallville Director Up For Best Canadian Feature
A film starring Allison Mack (Chloe) and Ryan Robbins ("Exile") is one of six films nominated this year for the Whistler Film Festival's Borsos Competition for Best Canadian Feature Film. The movie, titled Marilyn, is directed by Christopher Petry, who helmed the Smallville episodes "Persuasion" and "Ambush."
Filmed in a "gritty 1970s style," Marilyn is based on a story written in Leavenworth Prison by Paddy Mitchell of the Stopwatch Gang. Allison plays a volatile young runaway who is taken under the wing of a bank robber, who is played by Robbins. She's a distraction to his struggle to keep his head in the game and stay under the legal radar. Her own dreams of becoming a singer change his plans and change him irrevocably.
If it wins the top prize, it will be awarded $15,000 from the Director's Guild of Canada.
The film will see its premiere next month at the Whistler Film Festival, which is held from November 30 - December 4.
Erica Durance's New Series Saving Hope Is Picked Up!
Erica Durance will be starring in a new series - and Michael Shanks (Hawkman) will be along for the ride too.
Canadian broadcaster CTV has ordered 12 more episodes of Saving Hope, a drama that Erica filmed a pilot for earlier this year. (That'll bring the total to 13 episodes)
There's no word yet on when it will air in the United States and other countries, but if you want to read more about Saving Hope, including details about Erica's character, visit KSiteTV!

Smallville TNT Repeat Schedule For November 2011
Here in the United States, the TNT cable network is showing Smallville every day - check your listings for the exact times.
Here's the schedule for repeats for the month of November as the show flies into Season 9:
We're starting to get e-mails about a page on the Internet Movie Database about an "upcoming television series called Metropolis" starring Tom Welling and Erica Durance.
Unfortunately, this is another case of IMDb taking articles that are user-submitted, including wishful thinking from someone with an overactive imagination. It's not happening.
Warner Bros. has a new Superman movie, The Man Of Steel, out in 2013, when this would be purportedly happening. But more importantly... as much as we should "always hold on to Smallville," to spread false information like this is stupid and wrong. It's leading people on to believe something that's not true.
Not to mention, shouldn't Tom, Erica, and others be allowed to move on and do new things?
So, whoever it was who submitted it to IMDb as "fact" - you're an idiot. And if you're a "news source" that hopped on this fake news, you're even worse.
Remember IMDb submissions also said Laura Vandervoort and Kristin Kreuk were appearing in the "Finale," and that fake fan rumors said Michael Rosenbaum would be a series regular in Season 10. Didn't happen, and never was going to happen.
Thankfully, if I want to see Super-action with Tom, Erica, and the rest, there'll be the complete series DVD in just a month.

Ten Years Ago: The Series Premiere Of Smallville!
Ten years ago, on October 16, 2001, the incredibly awesome WB Network (please come back!) aired a new show called Smallville, a show that introduced Clark Kent at a time before he was Superman.
It's still hard to believe it has been so long.
On our newly-improved forum, we've been inviting people to reminisce about where they were and what they were doing when the show premiered 10 years ago.
If you've already pre-ordered at the higher price, Amazon has a Pre-Order Price Guarantee. Meaning they will send it at the lower price, so there's no need to cancel your order. But if you were on the fence, maybe the lower price will help! Ten seasons of Smallville would make a great holiday gift, after all.... and ordering online means paying significantly less than you would in a store!

Deadman is not the only DC Comics concept in development for television now.
Although we didn't see the character on Smallville beyond the Justice Society painting in "Absolute Justice," it has been revealed that FOX is developing a television series adaptation of The Spectre. The Spectre is one of DC's oldest characters - he first appeared in 1940 and was co-created by one of the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel. Let's just hope the character doesn't have the same legal issues.

Al Gough Talks Smallville Finale, Michael Rosenbaum As "Charlie"
TVLine posted details about the Charlie's Angels panel at the TCA Press Tour, which had Smallville creators Alfred Gough & Miles Millar in attendance. Of course, Smallville is a topic that did come up during the session... starting with a familiar actor wanting to be the voice of Charlie.
"[Michael] Rosenbaum keeps sending me voice tapes to be the voice of Charlie — seriously," Al Gough has said, sharing that the former Lex Luthor wants to fill the role once held by John Forsythe. Originally, it was going to be Robert Wagner, but he has "scheduling issues" preventing it.
Gough's response? "I think [Michael] might be a little young," he said, "but we'd love to have any [Smallville alumni] on the show."
Gough admitted that due to the development of the new Charlie's Angels show, he wasn't able to keep up with Smallville, so he thought a lot of the series finale was "confusing." He did admit, though, that it's hard to wrap up any show that's gone on for ten years. "I think they did the best he could," he said.
"The final image was always Clark Kent suiting up as Superman and flying away -- but back in the day there was going to be more of thing with him and Lex (played by Rosenbaum)…. It all came down to the Lex-Clark dynamic," Gough says about how he would have ended the show. It was always the plan, however, to bring out the Super-suit and send Clark flying in the final episode.
Charlie's Angels premieres in September, and you can read more about it at our general TV news site, KSiteTV.

No official announcement is made about which episodes are getting commentaries, though we've heard rumblings that they might be "Dominion" (with director Justin Hartley) and the series finale. Take that with a grain of salt, however, as we do not have official confirmation.
Exclusive Interview: Greg Beeman Talks Falling Skies, The Smallville Finale, & More
Greg Beeman returned to Smallville earlier this year for the show's final episode. Now, he's working on Falling Skies, a new drama series airing Sunday nights on TNT.
For our general TV news site, KSiteTV, we've interviewed Mr. Beeman about his new show. Within he talks a bit about what it was like to do Smallville's final installment, and he also talks about the casting of a past Smallville favorite who appears every week in Falling Skies.
OnTheRedCarpet.com caught up with Tom Welling on Monday night and the notion of a Smallville movie was one of the subjects talked about. Interestingly, the subject had come out many years before. "We talked about that between, I think it was season three and four, when the characters were moving from high school to what will be college. We played with the idea and what we found was there wasn't time," Welling said.
"It would've been fun to do a transition movie for those characters. But who knows in the future," Tom continued. When asked more directly if the opportunity came up for a Smallville movie, if he would take it, Tom said "Sure, I don't see why not."
Tom also seems thankful for the time he spent doing the show. "I can't imagine anything beyond family that could have such an effect on a career as Smallville did for me," he said.
For now, Tom is looking forward to Warner Bros.' future Superman plans as much as many fans are. "They have other plans for Superman, which I'm a big fan of and I can't wait to see what they do," he said.

Thank You: A Message From KryptonSite's Webmaster Craig
If you're reading this, you probably either just finished the Smallville series finale or saw it a few hours ago. As I write this, it's been a little over an hour and I'm still not sure what to think. I enjoyed the episode greatly, and three was a whole lot to be excited about, but my immediate feeling right now is as though a friend has died.... a friend I have welcomed into my home and my heart for ten years. So, if you ask me "what did you think?" Let me watch it a few more times and get the emotion out first.
I think it was just luck that KryptonSite came in and somehow became the web resource on record for a lot of things related to Smallville. It was here when the pilot was still in the process was filming, and it was here when it was announced The WB would merge with UPN to become The CW. The site saw some good times - like the announcement that legendary Superman Christopher Reeve would guest star - and some sad, like when the news came in that Jeph Loeb's son Sam had passed away. Spoilers came and went, with some more warmly received by others, and "shipper wars" often probably caused more anger on the forums than not, but somehow this site made it through.
I know I've been very lucky. Meeting cast members and writing the companion books... it really was a dream come true. And I mean that - I never expected that to happen. I've made some great friends along the way too, here at KryptonSite, or on Twitter, or other places in the online and real-life Smallville circle. Great fellow webmasters, podcasters, and other TV journalists - very cool people. I know others were also so lucky - just ask original KryptonSite mods Mark and Gemma, who got married a few years back and had their first child last year. (No, it wasn't a rapidly-aging exploding baby). All of us, really, can probably say our lives have changed in these ten years. When Smallville began, I was 23 years old and working at a newspaper in Maryland. Now I'm 33 and I write about TV in California. Some of the show's biggest fans weren't even in high school yet when the show premiered!
There probably won't be another show like Smallville again - and if there is, it will be an amazing feat. A show that lasts ten years with the same primary lead actor is mostly unheard of. Tom Welling did it, though, and people stayed interested. Big shoutout goes to Tom - who owned the role for 10 years but also became a fantastic director in the process. I know we'll be seeing more of him, either in front of of behind the cameras.
I think about the people who have been so helpful to me over the years making this site work. Al Gough & Miles Millar led the way, being some of the first showrunners to understand the importance of an online fan base. After they left, Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer and then of course Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson were always supportive as showrunners. Susan and Suzanne (don't get them confused at a high schol reunion) - thank you for all of your support and putting up with me and forgiving when I'd mess up from time to time. And to the cast. In addition to Tom... Michael, Kristin, Allison, Justin, Cassidy, Eric, John Schneider, Aaron, Erica, and Laura... you are the ones I interacted with the most, which is not to slight anyone else... but you all have been a pleasure to interview and interact with. Special appreciation to John Glover and Annette O'Toole, two of the kindest individuals I've ever met in ten years of covering Smallville, for taking me out to dinner when I was in Vancouver for the Season 6 book. That meant to much to me. Even the guest stars I'd talked to and gotten to know have been wonderful people, probably too much to name. And the folks I worked with on the books - Chris Cerasi, Steve Korte, and the revolving door of editors from the Smallville Magazine - THANK YOU for all of your support.
Smallville had one of the best and most hard-working crews in all of television. When the writers' strike happened during Season 7, Smallville missed only two episodes - a testament to the power and the talent of the creative people there. I'm not listing names there, or among the incredible writers and producers who I've talked to who have also been supportive of this site over the years because again, I'd be worried I'd leave someone out by accident - but you are amazing, and I hope to see your names in many projects in the future. One of the saddest things about Smallville ending is knowing that team won't exist anymore up in Vancouver, or in the production office down here. I still wish there had been a spin-off to keep that "team" together.
The Smallville fan base was so passionate, and I think that's a big reason the show lasted as long as it did. Sometimes it got mean. But I always have thought that to bring out such emotion from its fans, the show must have done something right. Apathy is the worst feeling a TV show fan can have, and Smallville fans never had that. At the end of the day, we all did have something in common - we loved the show. Even when there was complaining, we complained because we loved. Or at least that's how I look back at it.
I'd like to call out "Triplet" (aka C.M. Houghton) who worked so hard to bring new Smallville reviews in every week for several years now, and to Russ Dimino whose "Many Faces Of..." and other columns were always a treat. And I'd like to thank the team of KryptonSite mods for doing a great job of keeping the peace. With over 50,000 forum members, it's not an easy task!
218 episodes is so cool. And the fact that so many people came back for the end... it felt like a reunion. This is the second Superman TV series I actively covered (the first being Lois & Clark) and I hope it's not the last. When it happens again, I hope as many Smallville people as possible come back in the way that folks like Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Dean Cain, and Teri Hatcher did.
Many people have asked me what I'm going to do now that Smallville is over. Am I closing the site? Of course not! As long as I have a say in it, KryptonSite will exist as an archive for 10 years of Smallville. Now that I have more time on my hands, maybe I can even finally sort out old articles so they're easier to search, and maybe I can finally fix things like the cast and episode guide pages. The forum will still exist, but don't be surprised if it moves (keeping all of the old posts, of course) to the KSiteTV domain. So if you're worried your old posts or fanfiction will disappear... they won't. KryptonSite will still hopefully be relevant with Man of Steel News, a special sub-section of the site dedicated to news about next year's Superman movie, The Man Of Steel. This page right here will continue to exist to promote the projects of Smallville alumni as they move forward to the future. Just because their show is over doesn't mean the whole story is.
I was hoping we'd have new superhero TV with Wonder Woman this Fall, and apparently it's not happening but that's probably for the best. If you've enjoyed KryptonSite and the kind of thing you've seen here, though, I hope you'll check out KSiteTV - it's basically a generalized TV website focusing on whatever TV I feel like covering, but in hopefully a KryptonSite-like style. Maybe there will be more individual sites like this one, and there certainly will be more if there are some comic book projects TV on the way. Any individual sites for other upcoming shows and you'd have to make suggestions, though right now I'm leaning toward keeping it all at KSiteTV.
I'd like to build Avengersite and JusticeSite.net as good locations for Marvel and DC movies, respectively, though they're rather small as it currently stands, and while V and Human Target have recently ended, a site for The Vampire Diaries still exists in the site network at VampireSite.net and you can read updates on all of these things at the KSiteTV/KryptonSite Twitter Feed. (Don't everybody leave me after tonight!)
And that seems like a novel. Sorry to take up your time, the photos and forums you're looking for can be found below. :) I just needed to get this out while it was all still in my head.Thank you all for being a part of KryptonSite, and thanks again to Smallville for bringing all of us together. Oh yeah - and this summer we're doing the KryptonSite Awards again for Season 10... and then Summer 2012, assuming anyone's still around, we'll do it all over again for the entire series. Hope to see you!

A Letter From Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders To Smallville's Fans
Smallville's Executive Producers Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders just sent a letter to share with all of you... the fans of Smallville... on this historic, exciting, but also very sad day. Here's what they have to say:
To the Greatest Fans We Could Have Wished for,
It’s hard to know where to start. We know that we wouldn’t be writing this without you. We wouldn’t have met all the amazing people we’ve worked with over the years without you. We wouldn’t have had a chance to craft our skills, be part of the world’s greatest mythology or make a difference in people’s lives without you. For that, we are forever grateful to your support of the show. This last few weeks have been crowded with press interviews and they all ask what we hope will be the impact of Smallville. And the answer is simple because it’s the same impact the show has had on us: hope. Knowing each week there were millions of people in the world who tuned into this show because they believe in something greater, because they believe in justice, because they believe heroes exist, has humbled us and inspired us both. It’s hard to find anything in the world that is seen as pure good, and to us, that’s what Superman and Smallville is all about. Over the years, we’ve heard from many of you (we just moved into our new offices and there’s bamboo, paper cranes and flowers on our desk to remind us!). Hearing what this show has meant to people means everything to us. We cannot say thanks to fans without saying thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of people who have sunk their heart and a lot of sleepless hours into this show out of passion. No one can understand the sheer force of nature it has taken twenty-two times a year to bring this show to life. No one sees the late-night-caffeined-up hours spent in small offices both in Los Angeles and Vancouver that bring sets to life, costumes to life, words to the page, shots to screen, emotion to the camera and beautiful images that will remain in our memories.
We won’t say “goodbye,” we’ll say “til next time,”
Kelly and Brian and Everyone here in the Smallville family
The Smallville series finale airs at 8PM tonight on The CW. And thanks to you, Kelly and Brian, as well as everyone else who gave us Smallville week after week. Your hard work was greatly appreciated.
Tonight: The FINAL EPISODE of Smallville!
After ten years and 218 episodes, it's finally time for Clark Kent to become a (Super) man.
Tonight at 8PM on The CW, we'll see a wedding, the return of Lex Luthor, a coming Apokalips... and maybe even some surprises that miraculously didn't end up online prior to the air. We'll see Clark Kent embrace his destiny... and we will finally learn how this story ends in a two-hour series finale.
On the forum, we have a special forum set up for those of you who'd like to get a viewing party together so you can watch with other fans. That is in addition to the full "Finale" forum, which can be found here, or the last-ever SmallvilleCountdown/LIVE Thread, where you can count down to the episode's airing and then talk about it LIVE with other fans while this legendary episode airs!
Here are some extras associated with the episode that you may enjoy. There's a lot of cool stuff in here!
It's not quite time yet to say goodbye. We'll get to that once the episode has aired. But thanks, as ALWAYS for visiting. Let's pray the forums don't crash tonight!

Russ Dimino has written a recap of what you may have missed with all (well, most) of your favorite characters, so you don't feel behind when you tune in tonight. Chances are there will be a great "Previously" on the show itself, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared with extra info.
Canada's SPACE Channel Shows Off Smallville Series Finale Trailers - With Spoilers!

Either way... The CW has released 29 more images from the May 13 Smallville series finale, featuring a bunch of returning guest stars and a long-awaited wedding.
Pre-Order Smallville: The Complete Series For An Over-$100 Discount!
Amazon.com is now listing the complete-series Smallville DVD set at $224, over $100 less than the suggested retail price.

TV Guide posted some very cool news this morning - that we will be getting a massive 62-disc Smallville Complete Series DVD set this Fall!
The set will have some new special features, including a 90-minute series retrospective with new interviews; a commemorative issue of the Daily Planet; a video of the 2010 Comic-Con panel; an episode guide with production art and behind the scenes photos; and finally, the previously unseen Superboy series pilot from 1961! (What, no room for Aquaman?)
Below you can see the trailer for this collection, which was posted by TV Guide. As soon as we have an exact date and pre-order information we will be posting updates.
Ten years ago, Amy Adams guest starred in what was then voted the Worst Episode of Smallville Season 1 in the first-ever KryptonSite Awards, as she played Jodi Melville in "Craving." Now, Adams has created a fantastic film career where she is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, already having several Oscar nominations.
Adams has now been cast in the role of Lois Lane for Zack Snyder's new Superman film, tentatively titled The Man Of Steel, due in theaters December 2012.
“There was a big, giant search for Lois,” director Zack Snyder told the L.A. Times' Hero Complex, which broke the news. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”
Look for KryptonSite's Man of Steel sub-section to be live soon.
In case you missed them on the KryptonSite Twitter Feed last night, here are the images we took from the Smallville 200th Episode Red Carpet which was held on Saturday night, September 25.
You can also get a Season Pass on iTunes for Season 10! That can be purchased here.

Special appreciation to John Glover and Annette O'Toole, two of the kindest individuals I've ever met in ten years of covering Smallville, for taking me out to dinner when I was in Vancouver for the Season 6 book. That meant to much to me. Even the guest stars I'd talked to and gotten to know have been wonderful people, probably too much to name. And the folks I worked with on the books - Chris Cerasi, Steve Korte, and the revolving door of editors from the Smallville Magazine - THANK YOU for all of your support.
