Here they are. Zan and Jayna. I didn't really expect them to have pointy ears (what was with that, anyway?), purple jumpsuits or needlessly weird haircuts, but I also didn't expect them to look like the least threatening '90s rockers ever. Are they supposed to be lame? Because they're the Wonder Twins? Because if so, it's working, and if not... better get Gleek on the phone, ASAP. (Via io9)

Yep, it's her. And equally as useless.

Yeah, it's Claudia from Warehouse 13. I think she looks hotter on that show then this. Also, I having a time figuring out wtf the writers would even care to have these characters on the show. I just sit there with my readership of DC Comics since 1968 and try to keep from ripping out my hair or headbutting the wall...

I think "Jayna" is the same actress who plays the newbie nerd on SyFy's Warehouse 13, but I'm too lazy to look it up. I haven't watched Smallville in years. It might be the brain damage I've endured over the years, but is the CW still on the air even?

Smallville formula to introduce new DC character: 1. Find actor who was rejected from the Dawson's Creek auditions. 2. Put them in GAP or hipster clothes that have a few colors from the original character's costume. 3. Direct them to behave nothing like the character from the books. 4. Have the post-production crew provide them with unremarkable, uninteresting effects for their powers (when they use them at all, which is almost never because they're too busy being angsty). Congratulations! You now made a Smallville/DC character! Watch as nobody tunes in or gives a shit!
-
yeah This show is nothing but the Teen Titans/Young Justice mash-up. They had Mia Deardan on there last week. Really over Roy Harper? SCREW You Smallville

at least one good thing about the wonder twins appearing on smallvile it makes aquamans appearances less lame. plus balanced out with hawk man and doctor fate coming on. as for wonder woman and batman. the producers since season one have been trying to have them appear on smallvile and keep getitng turned down. wonder woman maybe by the end of the season or series batman no way ever.

'This season, Jor-El's disembodied voice actually told him the reason is because he still considers himself human. He needs to let go of that idea and fully embrace his Kryptonian heritage, and only then will be able to fly.' Well, that doesn't go against every characterisation of Superman for the last 30 years or anything.... Smallville - the only thing in the world that adding the Wonder Twins to actually makes it better.

Too skinny!!

@Batzarro You can't forget the majorly overused plot point of one of Clarks friends just about to watch him use superpowers then conveniently gets knocked unconscious before they can. Honestly that shit happens almost every episode, surely Lois must be just about brain dead by now after getting concussion every other day.
-
I just looked at Jayna's face and thought: "Blossom!"
-
Sigh. The whole "Powers of Water/Animals could be awesome if treated right." But this is Smallville. Something cool before the intro ,20 minutes of inane dialogue and talks of destiny, stupid relationship issues that are in no way as substitute for super-ass-kicking, Clark throws the villain into something, incapacitating him, Some more relationship talk, fin.
-
@sal: If he was Superman, the show would be called Superman. It isn't. It's something else at this point. (Lois & Clark already hooked up last week, and Green Arrow still loves her, but got shot down.) Regardless, I'm sure the people asking don't really want to know, but the city-folk are calling him 'The Blur', because he just super-speeds around doing shit, and doesn't let anyone see him. And they finally 'explained' the no flying early this season. In the past they've pushed it off as a fear of heights. But he's since jump up/off buildings, so they cant use that anymore. This season, Jor-El's disembodied voice actually told him the reason is because he still considers himself human. He needs to let go of that idea and fully embrace his Kryptonian heritage, and only then will be able to fly. A hokey explanation, but and explanation nonetheless.

I really gave up on this show about season 5, but of late, they're doing a good job with trying to bring the dc mythos into a live action, serious type of show. Granted this will never be as near amazing as Justice League or Batman or Superman in cartoon form, but it seems that the showrunners and writers are really trying to do a good job with making a superhero universe exist in our realm, something Heroes should take a look at.
-
Knowing "Smallville", Gleek won't be a monkey, he'll be some goofball tween with blue hair called "Gee" I'm not sure if that's an improvement.....
-
is superman...superman already? Or is superman still Clark Kent pretending to be superman and still cant fly?? Or some fraking batshit like that

The girl needs to watch her posture. Shoulders back girlfriend.

They had pointy ears 'cause they were ALIENS! Man, I don't even WATCH this show, why am I posting on this thread? ..........oh, that's right. I'm at work....

This show continues to keep me a fan just as it has since season 5. 1-3 were a decent start, 4 was abysmal, saved only by the introduction of Lois. 5-9 however keep it afloat as one of my favorite things to watch ever week. I love Superman, and I love most all of his 'alterniverse' stories. And Smallville continues to shape itself into a great one. I cant freaking wait to see this episode. Regarding their clothes, they can easily explain the 'different' outfits with the whole alien thing. I'm 95% sure they are going with the Alien angle for these two, and not the 'power received from a random earth based accident to normal kids'. Just because GA, Flash, and Black Canary are involved, don't forget Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Lori Lemaris, Doomsday, Bizarro, etc. Plenty of alien characters have appeared on the show. And if they DO go with the earth-based characters, I'm actually happy we got what we did with these two. Have you been to a mall recently? They could have easily given these two 80's glam rock haircuts like that Tokyo Whatever lead guy, with too tight jeans an oversize wallet chain, and a sideways trucker hat. I may be showing my age here, but bring on the 90's I'll gladly take those wardrobe decisions back over what 'the kids' today are wearing.
-
I've pretty much given up on the show as well. Despite the fact that it's supposed to be about Superman's formative years, the whole thing seems to be totally directionless with no character arcs or long term stories or goals for anyone. I'm not sure when it went crap, but I kept watching for far too long in the hope it would get good again. I don't think there's a character left on the show (aside from Chloe) who didn't turn out horribly.

Just put this show out of our misery already. I gave up on SMALLVILLE two seasons ago, and even then I felt like I'd held on too long. My favorite comment ever about SMALLVILLE came from a regular patron at the barbecue joint whose kitchen I used to run, and it was on the night when the bar's TV was turned over to me for my weekly SMALLVILLE dose as a change of pace from endless sports, resulting in some of the regulars unwillingly getting caught up in its superhero soap opera. It was during the episode where the nascent Justice League gets together, and the patron asked "Are those guys supposed to be the Justice League?" I answered in the affirmative and he exclaimed, "They look like douchebags!" That brought a knowing laugh from all in attendance, but that line was eclipsed when we saw the famous shot of the Justice League walking away from that explosion in supposedly cool slo-mo, to which the patron, in a voice mimicking Tom Welling, uttered, "Now we're off to Old Navy." That brought down the house and earned the guy a free round, but from that moment on SMALLVILLE was never the same and I gave up on it the following year. I can see that I have missed nothing.
-
They're really going into the DC mythos with this season...Zod, Metallo, Toyman, Roulette, Speedy...then the JSA, the Wonder Twins and The Legion. That, plus the chemistry between Clark and Lois has been great so far. I only hope it doesn't go down the same path Clark and Lana did ("I can't tell her i'm an alien","Stop hiding the truth, Clark!", blahblahblah...).
-
Even with all the bashing here, Smallville is much more watchable than 90% of the crap on TV. Heroes is pure ass. Honestly, I didn't get the show when it first came out and I didn't like it much. Now that it's getting closer to Superman I am enjoying it more. Yes I prefer Lois and Clark to the Lana and Clark stuff. I could see Wonder Woman show up eventually, but I do not see Batman unless it's the final season.
-
"Form of...Jayna's tampon! Now we play the waiting game." Seriously, if we don't get Tom Welling in the tights and cape by the end of this horrible show I'm gonna drive to Al Gough's house and punch him right in his pancreas!
-
At this point Gleek would be a welcome change! Make him a little smart ass alcoholic space monkey (or whatever the hell he is). I'd watch that!
-
You didn't expect something from Smallville to be lame? You should probably just stop reporting on it, since no self respecting nerd watches "Pretty White Kids with Problems (And Superpowers Too I Guess)"
-
Smallville is meant to be set in the 90s, right? It's only just clicked
-
this just proves smallvile is willing to dig way down into the dc library but only because they are not allowed to have batman and wonder woman show up on the show. at least no gleek at all.
-
This is still on the air?
