Pam Grier is great, but even at 60 she's too hot to play Waller. I always liked that Amanda Waller was an entirely unattractive character in the middle of this big superhero world, ah well. It isn't as though I actually watch Smallville anyway.

"a role as meaty as Waller" Snicker.

Foxy Brown first.

Pam Grier is so great because she never found any reason to not get naked in movies.

Wow, Jackie Brown as the Wall! Now this will be worth checking out. Let's hope they don't put her in a fat suit.

J*S*A. Not JLA.

And she's not fat enough for Waller. Smallville: the only show that has difficulty locating a fat black woman in America.

It's way too late for Smallville to go out gracefully, so it may as well keep marching on until 2074. Even the nerdy "in-jokes"(about 30 per episode)every week have gotten old.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I still watch Smallville. I have to save all that shame and self-hatred for the admission that I watch One Tree Hill.

I hope the next episode isn't another Saw ripoff. Cuz they've had like ten of those!

You know, I can understand why they didn't cast a...larger woman to play Waller. I mean, except for Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, and that illegal alien "Mexican" kid who just happened to speak perfect English with no accent from a couple seasons ago, I'm having a hard time coming up with a character they've used that wasn't white. Of course, some of that blame lies at the feet of the comics, and the fact that all the characters people actually care about seeing were created by Jewish white guys back in a time where women and people who weren't white as snow weren't all that welcome in many places...but I digress. My point was, casting somebody darker than an icecap is hard enough for them, can you really expect them to not be hot, too?

Of course, if they're gonna stunt cast it like that, why didn't they just use CCH Pounder? She did the voice for Justice League, and could totally pull it off. Or is it BECAUSE she was the voice?

'She did the voice for Justice League, and could totally pull it off. Or is it BECAUSE she was the voice?'

This is the same show that, to the best of my knowledge, failed to get Michael Rosenbaum into the same room as their version of the Flash, so my guess is that they don't even know Justice League existed.

They also seem to be possessed of the illusion that comic fans actually still pay attention to their show - heck, that they ever did - instead of better products like Justice League. Then again, given most of their plotlines and casting, they're more than aware that their remaining audience is a bunch of over-40 women living at alone with their cats who just tune in to gaze longingly at Welling.

Actually, this should be the last season. I think this all leads up to the "Metropolis" tv movie and then it's over. I mean, that was the rumor a while back. And thank god...because I cannot take this any more.

I'll let the first four seasons (and the Justice League half of season 6) slide. They were fun if not great... But the last couple seasons have been insufferable. I can only watch because I know not seeing it through will drive me even more nerd-crazy than not watching (I'm a masochistic completist). The dialogue on this show is worse than anything Kim Kardashian has said. Has anyone noticed that no one says Goodbye in this show? And they always like drive 3 hours (I'm guessing thats how long it takes to get to the Kent farm from Metropolis) to go tell someone one worthless sentence? I may have already been driven insane by this show.

Also - and this is oddly coincidental - my most recent JLR review covers the episode with J'onn's wife. I think she had maybe - maybe - five lines in the 44 minutes. It's the Etrigan episode, with the Mars scenes as more of a cutaway than anything else.

I think if they find a way to make Pam look a bit younger, she'll do fine as a younger Waller. If you're doing a young Justice League type thing, remember that one of the final episodes of JL was Terry (Batman Beyond) talking to her as an elderly woman about his origins 30 or so years later, so you can kind of work the continuity

HELL YES, anything with Pam "Foxy" Brown goes up a peg in my book. Might have to start watching Smallville again.

I have nothing against Pam Grier (You rock, Ms. Brown), but i'd rather the producers of Smallville kidnapped CCH Pounder and forcefed her for a week to get her in (non) shape for the role of "The Wall". Hopefully, the producers of the upcoming Suicide Squad film are doing that right now...

" She portrayed the Martian Manhunter's wife with the overly complicated name My'ria'h in a two-part episode of the Justice League toon a few years back."

Not that hard, I think it's pronounced Maria. :) Like how J'onn J'onnz is pronounced John or Jean Jones. And how teenage superheroine Miss Martian's name is M'Gann M'Orzz, or Megan Morse. :)

finaly been waiting for Amanda to be done live action since thanks to smallvile almost the entire dc universe has been done live action though would have rather they stick to her orginal look and she had appeared first in a sucide squad movie not to mention did the producers not think of talking to CC Pounder who did her voice on the animated show when they were casting the wall. as for the show lasting till 2074 that is when they will finaly get to have bats and wonder woman appear.

..Agreed. Grier's not enough of a big fat bull dyke shape to play an obese, obnoxious bitch like Amanda Waller. It's like casting Pee Wee Herman in the role of the Kingpin.

Holy shit... they made me want to bang Amanda Waller!
