• All the actors and actresses on Smallville are awesome...they are equal...

• I so agree with you..your awesome!

• I believe that Erica Durance is all real and I agree with what you said to that one and also actors and actress have to put their name in the ballot also. Allison Mack and Kristen didn't...And all 3 of them are great actresses...does it count that i modeled before so you can't say i am being ignorant? But I think that Erica, Allison, and Kristen have amazing acting abilities, well the chemistry between Justin and Allison is very real, but anyway, she is a good actress, who makes me laugh and shake my head sometimes...

• Damm Right...You tell them!!!

• I agree about Erica Durance, she actually does make me laugh, but if you watch season 7n episode 7 "wrath" Lois and Grant are talking about the night before and what they are going to do later. It's not explicit but it's a round about way of it being said and she has also named the men she has slept with and who cares the show isn't about who she has slept with. And I love when they have her and Allison Mack in a episode together when they are the only ones there because it really is awesome the way they play off each other and I love escape in season 9 when its just her Clark Chloe and Oliver at a bed and breakfast, minus the Zod and Tess crap that i could've done without...But you tell em' Erica Durance, not fake in any way

• you seriously need to re watch all the seasons' slowly because you have a lot of error going on with the stuff your saying about the characters. Your putting people down but it sounds to me like YOU are the one who needs to crack open your Smallville dvds and re watch them all..because it just sounds like you watch a few parts in the episodes and then made your decisions from there. You lack insight, back history and you have no clue really what your talking about. Re watch the damm seasons and don't even think of throwing down with me and F.Y.I. Erica Durance has said before in an interview that she doesn't think that she is giving her character the justic she deserves but she is working on it. Also you really have a hate for Chloe, you really need to watch the fucking show again! I have also watched it from the pilot and I own all the seasons but ten, I will when it comes out and I have a smallville marathon every month because that is how much i love this show. I know it inside and out and trust me you are lacking in some of your knowledge of the show. BTW They have all taken a life and YES THEY ALL HAVE! MINUS THE KENTS(PARENTS) ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, INCLUDING CLARK HAVE TAKEN A LIFE IN SOME WAY OR FORM ON THE SHOW!!!!!!Oh and no, Lois didn't earn her way by using a story, she was made to challenge her cousin for a story and she won and Chloe wrote a story about a girl named bunny summors who had been bitten by meteorite infected bats and she gained canine teeth and basically became a vampire and turned all the girls who pledged to her house into one, hummm, like say, Lana Lange. She too started at the basement where her cousin visited and then after awhile got noticed by the editor and he challenged her and Chloe to a contest, because Chloe wasn't getting many stories and by the way that editors name was Grant a.k.a Julian Luthor, whom she started sleeping with and oh dating. Chloe had just lost the lust for it and she was unsure of wanting a change and hence "the watchtower". Come get me I quote episodes to my friends and i am watching season 9 right now and then its back to 1 till 10 comes out on DVD then its back to 1...oh and i am really good at naming episodes and who and whats in them....Come get me!

• This is remarkably dumb. But on the other hand...I AM going to watch it. And since I am the coveted demographic "never watched it before but might do so if the producers trash it up", what I think counts a LOT more than the opinions of long-term fans who will continue to watch no matter what. Sad how that works. If it's any consolation, it's happened to shows I liked too.

• Again, the "untalented" claim is subjective. Some think she is and some think she isn't. One person's opinion of her talent doesn't hold much water with me. Erica went on Howard Stern's show to promote her film "The Butterfly Effect 2" not herself or what she does in private. Stern brought up the naked parties and she repeatedly asked him if she could talk about her movie instead. She never got called out on her breasts so I don't know where you are getting your information. Unless you have proof from Erica or the plastic surgeon who did the alleged work, then your accusations are baseless. The same goes for the claims that she has used botox. I'm not going to claim that Erica has or has not had plastic surgery because I don't know. And I don't know about you, but I tend to think it is ignorant to claim I know the truth about something when in reality I have absolutely no idea. What does attending any college have to do with being skanky? I would imagine a skank is someone who is promiscuous. Do you know anything about Erica's sexual history? Probably not. So what makes you think the label applies to Durance? In regards to the Emmys, you say you are sure she was mocked, what makes you so sure? Do you have any evidence she was mocked outside of fan sites with members who are already predisposed to hating her? I really wish you would stop speaking with authority about things you know nothing about. Durance submitted her name twice because there are no defined rules for what makes an actress lead or not. AM and KK qualified as well, but they did not submit their names. In fact, it is common for actresses' names to be submitted by production companies or their managers. If AM and KK did not submit their names, either they made that decision or their people did not apply. Since ED qualified, any number of people could have submitted her for consideration.

• Erica Durance is an untalented mid 30's actress who willingly went on Stern to promote HERSELF & talked about her own naked parties. She got called out for the breast implants. I guess you are going to claim she doesn't botox her face now too? Once attending a Bible college doesn't stop ber from being a classless or skanky either. I'm also sure that she was mocked by most of the industry by putting herself in the Lead Actress Emmy noms. Twice. When AM and KK qualifed, ED did not.

• He's not dead. The producers said so at this year's Comic-Con. He's presumed dead, that's all.

• I won't watch those clips because I heard Stern and his staff's treatment of Erica in that interview was horrific. He had to send her an official apology for his rudeness, so thanks, I'll pass. Going on Howard Stern has nothing to do with her acting talent or her breasts. It's not as if there was an acting audition then or an analysis of her body on the show. Seriously, one thing is completely unrelated to the other. Plus, even though it's completely false that Erica is anything but all natural, how does that in any way affect her ability to act? It doesn't. Newsflash, every actress and actor promotes herself or himself. The nude parties that Erica used to have was something that Howard brought up and Erica did not want to discuss, as it was something private between she and her husband. When she brought it up in a previous magazine interview, she later admitted it was a mistake. Erica is not middle aged - she's 32 - and if you are accusing her of enhancing her body in any way without any factual evidence to back it up, you're just slandering her out of spite. I can't believe you just insulted Erica by calling her a skank. This is woman who grew up in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada and graduated from Prairie BIBLE College. I define a skank as someone who sleeps around, which hardly describes Erica Durance. Unless of course you have proof of her intimate relationships. I doubt that you do, so it seems you're just throwing out ignorant insults. About Erica's acting ability: what can I say? She's received praise from people in the industry. For example, Glen Winter, the director of this year's SMALLVILLE episode, "Idol," said Erica was at the top of her game. Erica's a beautiful woman - inside and out - and she's a fantastic actress. I'm sorry you can't see that and that you resort to baseless accusations.

• You only have to watch the Howard Stern clips on youtube to know about Erica Durance. Bad actress with fake boobs, lots of botox who promotes herself & nude parties. IN other words, No talent middle age skank.

• I don't know what's not tolerable about me. It literally took me less than five minutes to copy and paste those quotes from the webpage of someone else who had already done it. I didn't do anything. I'm not sure why the truth about Erica Durance would be so frightening to you. I guess some scare easily.

• For sure, but there are Lois Lanes who have no recorded educational background at all. Look it up. Besides, she didn't graduate because she missed classes, and not because of bad grades. She got accepted into the same prestigious college as Chloe did, remember? Calling someone "skanky ho" is so low class and really disrespectful to women. In Lois Lane's entire lifetime, she will have slept with the guy she lost her virginity to before the episode Spell, so she could have had sex for the first time before even Chloe (age 19 vs. age 15). She then only officially slept with Oliver, and now her future husband, Clark Kent. It was never confirmed that she had sex with Grant, her editor, and there is no canon evidence to support that she gained ANY favors for being his girlfriend, which she became several episodes AFTER she got the job that Grant said she gave her for her previous work. Focusing on Erica's appearance is also rather low, don't you think? It just makes you look petty. Erica was beautiful then, and she's beautiful now. She didn't do anything to make that happen. She's a wonderful actress and a wonderful person. Comic writer Jeph Loeb adores her as Lois Lane and was heavily involved in getting her hired to play the part on Smallville. Margot Kidder, another Lois Lane loves her, and she's been called THE BEST LOIS LANE by many. I get that you're not a fan, but just know that Erica isn't a disgrace. What's a disgrace is you taking your dissatisfaction with a fictional character out on an actress you don't even know.

• was that the one with Frankie Muniz as fake Frank Miller?

• Seriously, can't stand the truth obsessed "scary fan"

• LMAO! No Lois Lane I know of never graduated high school or was a skanky Ho who slept her way into the Daily Planet. WITH A freakin Luthor clone. *rme* Where's those big lines on Erica Durance's face that were there for years? OVERBOTOXED. She's a disgrace to the name of Lois Lane.

• Perhaps you should look down, Cherry Blossom has compiled quite a few statements that conflict with what you're saying about Erica's acting prowess. I take their feedback more seriously than yours, unless of course you're an accomplished actor or are a member of the entertainment industry. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that Erica is aware that she can't act. She's never said that, and given that you don't know her personally, I think you just made that up.

• I understand, but just because I frequent a forum that discusses a show that interests me, as all here seem to be visiting a website that posts news of interest to them, doesn't mean much. Likewise, if other people with more time and dedication put together some nice quotes, doesn't say so much about me, as it does how dedicated some fans are to celebrate Erica's accomplishments.

• Admitting that you're collaborating on a project that appears to amount to collating every piece of adulation ever given to the cast members of "Smallville" doesn't help your case here. Just sayin', though.

• Erica doesn't have implants.

• If they used that as a show plotline, I might watch it.

• is it the illusion of the costume or did Erica Durance get bigger implants?

• I like how the costume is skin-tight and yet somehow ill-fitting as well...

• LOL, I thought that list would give that impression. I didn't compile it myself. It was compiled by several fans for a project we're doing for the whole cast.

• You're officially a Really Scary Fan.

• Yeah! "Smallville" needs a silver age Lois! You know, the one that was shit dumb, a terrible journalist, and endlessly tolerant of what amounted to emotional abuse from Superman (see: the issue where Superman and Batman trick Lois into thinking Bruce Wayne is Superman, have Bruce propose marriage to Lois, humilate her in front of her friends and family by having Supes fly in to the wedding wearing his costume, and then point and laugh at her).

• Whoah whoah whoah whoah... hold up! They killed Lex Luthor? Really? Superman's main adversary, and they killed him? I am so glad I don't watch this show.

• While I recognize we all have different tastes, and so you may not see talent where other do. It seems pretty clear to me that Erica Durance has earned a great deal of praise from people who disagree with your notion that she's not talented: "Erica Durance plays Lois very well." - Holly Harold (Smallville Official Season 4 Companion Book) "Intrinsically, I'll say this about our cast; they are all great people," says Marshall. "When Erica came it was the same. She's so sweet and has such a big heart, and is so beautiful and down-to-Earth that everybody said she was a pleasure as soon as she showed up. Also, she desperately wanted to do a good job. She worked her ass off, and I remember being so impressed by the way she approached the role. She was studying and reviewing old films. She makes you better because she cares so much, you don't want to fail her." - James Marshall (Smallville Magazine #23). " I love working with Erica. She's great. I enjoy the scenes that we do and I like her dedication to the scenes." - Justin Hartley (IGN TV Interview, 2008) "[Erica Durance] has a very stylized delivery of her lines, like an actress from a 1940s screwball comedy. Given the comic book origins of Superman, this seems like the right choice." – John Kubicek (Buddy TV) "I just think that Erica's work is absolutely fabulous and psychologically more nuanced than what we were doing." - Margot Kidder (Detnews, 2005) "For the record, we think Erica Durance, from Smallville, gives a brilliant performance. Sassy, sarcastic yet playful and seductive, Durance is the best future Mrs. Clark Kent yet." - Richard George (IGN Comics, Superman In Film article) "She's terrific that girl, just terrific. I was just knocked out. She was great, and she's a top rate actress. Erica's got it. Her version is more like mine than Teri Hatcher was in the 1990s series". - Margot Kidder (Smallville Magazine #34) "Erica is fantastic! I was really impressed by her. I've always heard good things about her. Not only is she gorgeous, but she's very talented. I really saw experience in her technique. She was amazing. She was just a happy person and had a ton of energy, which is always really important. You have long hours so you need that energy. You need to be professional, and amiable, and Erica was warm and very welcoming. She is a good old Alberta girl." - Tahmoh Penikett (Smallville Magazine #22) "Erica Durance's Lois Lane has to be one of the best versions of the character to hit any screen, big or small. Durance plays it tough, brainy, sexy and catty -- worlds away from Kate Bosworth's drab turn in Superman Returns. This is a Lois worthy of Clark Kent's/Superman's affections. Part of the charm of season eight comes from watching Lois and Clark butt heads, compete for stories at the Daily Planet (a la Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) and try to hide their budding attraction to each other." – TV Squad 2008 "I was a little worried, because Erica and Justin are fantastic actors, but this was asking them to go to a place that we really hadn't gone to on the show with either of their characters. That goodbye scene was the second thing I shot for the episode, so it was right off the bat for those guys, and they both came in so prepared to just go to that place. They both blew me away. Erica especially was so willing and so ready to go to a deeper emotional place than we had taken her on the show up to that point." - Stephen S. DeKnight (Smallville Official Season 6 Companion Book) "It was such a pleasant surprise, they both showed up on set so ready to do the scene and Erica was just phenomenal, just phenomenally into it. She was amazing. She showed up on set with tears in her eyes and I'm thinking 'This is great!'" - Stephen S. DeKnight (DTS Interview, 2007) "I worked with Erica in pretty much every scene that I had, and she is, aside from being just a really phenomenal focused actress, she's really one of the sweetest people I have ever worked with. She was on set every day on time, knew what she wanted to do and you know, she showed up there to do her job and to perform and to the absolute best with every scene that she could. She couldn't have been more welcoming or supportive of me and just sweet towards everyone in general." - Brian Austin Green (Starkville House of El Podcast, 2009) "She's a fantastic woman, one of the sweetest I've worked with." - Brian Austin Green (Starkville House of El Podcast, 2009) "Erica is such a good Lois Lane. I can't say enough things about that." – Cassidy Freeman (Season 8 Commentary, 2009) "We have an amazing Lois Lane. We don't need me to become Lois Lane. I could never replace Erica Durance. She's too good. She's too good." - Allison Mack "Lois and I have a scene where we get kind of physical and we fight it out a little bit, and let's just say that everyone on set that day was pretty stoked. Erica was born to play Lois Lane. She has all those qualities, smart and strong and funny and totally unabashedly herself. That's Lois Lane." - Cassidy Freeman "No - Erica's got it. Her version is more like mine than Teri Hatcher was in the 1990s series." - Margot Kidder "Erica and I get along great. We did from day one. With respect to Clark and Lois, I think Erica and I get along so well that we have to remind ourselves that Clark and Lois aren't necessarily supposed to get along so well. I'd sum up Clark and Lois's relationship as playful- they love and hate each other at the same time." - Tom Welling "Yeah. I love working with Erica (Durance). She's great. I enjoy the scenes that we do and I like her dedication to the scenes. It's also fun to work with someone who's a nice person and you get along with really well." - Justin Hartley "We have an amazing Lois Lane. We don't need me to become Lois Lane. I could never replace Erica Durance. She's too good. She's too good." - Allison Mack "I was nervous going in but they are all great, especially Erica (Durance) who plays Lois Lane. She took me under her wing because she was the new girl once." - Laura Vandervoort "It was a lot of fun to work with Erica: she's a sweetheart," he adds with a smile. - Aaron Ashmore "This girl, her name's Erica, and she's married. She's awesome, awesome girl." - Michael Rosenbaum "She's terrific that girl, just terrific. I was just knocked out. She was great, and she's a top rate actress." - Margot Kidder "I thought the chemistry was really good. She's really fun to work with; she's got a great sense of humor. We kind of have the same brand of humor. It's a pleasure to work with [her]. Really easy, no ego. She's there for the show, and she seems to put a lot into her work, and I've really enjoyed working with her. We had a lot of laughs, and I'd like to work with her again. I think she's great." -Justin Hartley, Kryptonsite Interview January 2007 ~"So Erica [Durance] did an amazing job, I thought, of making sure that she represented her character in a way that didn't make her look foolish or with egg on her face. That's really hard to do. Think about her story. She's dating this guy who's the Green Arrow, but she doesn't know. She did a really amazing job of not making it look foolish. And in turn, that helped me because that would just make me look foolish and the show look foolish. I owe her a lot for that." - Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow), Wizard Universe Interview - 1/18/07 "Erica's very beautiful, very smart, extremely fun to look at, but on top of that she's very professional, sweet, gives whatever she can to her craft and she's very fun to work with in all sorts of ways." - Justin Hartley "Yeah. I love working with Erica (Durance). She's great. I enjoy the scenes that we do and I like her dedication to the scenes. It's also fun to work with someone who's a nice person and you get along with really well. We have at least a couple of really good scenes in there and she talks about what me leaving did to her and Oliver tries to explain to her why he left, because he obviously he can't tell her the truth. It's not really sappy, which is neat. I like that about that relationship. You can have those really intimate, private moments without it being dopey and sappy." -- Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow), IGN TV Interview - 2/6/08 ~"Erica's fantastic, she's wonderful," says her 'Smallville' co-star Kristin Kreuk. "Her and Tom [Welling] have fantastic chemistry. I just personally like her, as a person, and she's wonderful to have around and on set and it just adds fresh air." - Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang), Star-TV.com Interview ~"Lois and I have a scene where we get kind of physical and we fight it out a little bit, and let's just say that everyone on set that day was pretty stoked. Erica was born to play Lois Lane. She has all those qualities, smart and strong and funny and totally unabashedly herself. That's Lois Lane." - Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer), Smallville's Cassidy Freeman talks Oliver Queen, Lois Lane, May 2009 Erica and I joke about the fact that women on this show can't be friends, and we don't really understand why. Because women are friends, and Erica and I are friends. She is such a dear - Cassidy Freeman, Comic Con Interview 2009. ~"...I worked with Erica in pretty much every scene that I had, and she is, aside from being just a really phenomenal focused actress, she's really one of the sweetest people I have ever worked with. She was on set every day on time, knew what she wanted to do and you know, she showed up there to do her job and to perform and to the absolute best with every scene that she could. She couldn't have been more welcoming or supportive of me and just sweet towards everyone in general..." - Brian Austin Green (John Corben / Metallo), Interview on SHoE. "... she's a fantastic woman, one of the sweetest I've worked with. I think it would be a shame for her to read any one of those remarks..." - Brian Austin Green (John Corben / Metallo), Interview on SHoE. " I just think that Erica's work is absolutely fabulous and psychologically more nuanced than what we were doing." - Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in the Superman Movies '78-'87 / Dr. Bridgette Crosby), Detnews.com Article - 12/23/05 ~Guest-starring on any show can be stressful, yet Alex credits the cast for creating a relaxed atmosphere. "So far it has just been Erica [Durance] and today, Tom [Welling]," he says. "They are all extremely nice, talented people. It's always a relief because you worry you are going to be with a diva or somebody who doesn't care. Tom's been around for five seasons, but I don't get that sense, and I don't get it from Erica either. It is highly commendable, and I'm thankful for it because it makes my job a lot easier." - Alex Scarlis (Graham Garrett), Smallville Magazine #18 [pp. 65] "Erica Durance. Well I first met Erica, she was playing my love interest on an episode of Stargate SG-1 called 'Affinity'. We hit it off right away, we have just a natural friendship there. And now, her sister and my brother are married, so Erica really is family. But she's just a lovely, lovely young girl, who has no idea how beautiful she is." - Christopher Judge (Teal'c from Stargate SG-1), 2007 Women of Sci-Fi: Behind the Scenes "Sassy, sarcastic yet playful and seductive, Durance is the best future Mrs. Clark Kent yet." ~ Richard George "I really questioned whether, you know, she could act. And she totally can, and actually I think [can make you] fall in love with her." ~ John R. Leonetti INTERVIEW WITH CASSIDY FREEMAN (TESS MERCER) Q: You know, in the beginning, in the comics Lana Lang was Clark's childhood sweetheart and he didn't even meet Lois until he got to Metropolis. And so when they said they would bring Lois in I was like, "Hmmm, I don't know", but my god Erica Durance is kicking butt in that role. I mean she's made that role her own and it's tough to--- Cassidy: She's so perfect. Q: It's tough to top Margot Kidder, but my god Erica Durance is doing such a great job with that role. Cassidy: Yeah, she does. And she just, she totally gets it. She really, really gets it. "There's no doubt about it, she was a little star the first time I met her. Even in the fourth grade, she lit up a room. She still does that -- totally apart from her industry persona." -Kathy Covert (private voice and acting coach), The Edmonton Journal, January 3, 2007 "No matter what she does and doesn't do, people are going to love her regardless. It was like that ever since she was little." -Kathy Covert (private voice and acting coach), The Edmonton Journal, January 3, 2007

• Smallville's Clark will never wear the suit because Warner Bros. is trying to dodge having to pay the Siegels for the use of Superboy/Superman.

• I don't know which comic books you've been reading, but Erica's Lois has pretty much all of the defining traits of Lois Lane. Her personality, her appearance, her morals, etc. She's gotten praise from everyone from Margot Kidder, to comic book writers like Geoff Johns, to notable websites related to the genre, to fans across the world. Sure, she can't please everyone, but when has Lois Lane been universally beloved? I'm also wondering how I'm supposed to take you seriously when you can say one should watch anything but Smallville, which presumably you choose to do, but yet without having watched the show you can't really know if it or Lois is good or bad. You have little credibility, as a result. Smallville is also far from a laughingstock. It made several end of the year lists for stuff to look forward to in 2010, the CW is likely to renew it for a tenth season, and the panel at this summer's Comic-Con showed how much enthusiasm was still left for the show. One of the main reasons for that, contrary to what you say, is how the character of Clark Kent is portrayed. Far from acting like an idiot or a jerk, Clark is stepping up to the plate as a public superhero more than ever and showing his values are still intact when he apologizes and forgives his friends for their mutual mistakes, when he speaks to the Wonder Twins about leading by example and about second chances, and when he shows his dedication to his superhero calling by finally embracing his training with Jor-El in the Fortress and wearing the \S/ House of El symbol. I've been watching every episode since the Pilot and the way Clark is acting is the same if not better than he did in all those years when he was moping over Lana or letting Chloe be his brain. He's really taking charge of his life and taking responsibility for protecting all of humanity and not just those close to him. He's balancing his normal life as Clark Kent, the reporter, with his superhero life as "The Blur." Lois may not be well-educated, but the show has never taken education seriously for any of the characters and education has never been emphasized in the Superman comics or the movies. Lois is currently in the basement of the Daily Planet and working her way up. Oh, and FYI, Lois didn't cheat her way into her job at the Daily Planet. She impressed the editor with a story she wrote for another publication and with the passion and prose she used when investigating Kara's missing spaceship. Really, where do you get your "facts"? Again, this can't be emphasize enough, it was never confirmed that Lois slept with her editor and she most certainly didn't get any favors out of her relationship. She didn't get any of her articles published or any promotion out of it, so I'm afraid you're making things up again. Lois didn't lie about any of her stories for the Inquisitor either. Her work at that paper was no better or worse than the tabloid-esque reporting Chloe did for the Torch which both the principal of Smallville High and Perry White described as "junk journalism." The producers described Chloe as feeling as if Lois had stolen her life in the episode "Hex", not that Lois had actually done it. If Chloe wants that life back, she's free to have it. She apparently doesn't want it anymore. Chloe earned her place at the DP in part because the editor at the time, Kahn, was interested in meeting with the girl who made a corrupt bargain with Lionel Luthor to get a column at the DP at a ridiculously young age. Chloe wouldn't have ever been interviewed for the job or gotten a chance to prove herself had she not betrayed Clark in a jealous rage. The bottom line is that the show isn't perfect and none of the characters are perfect. It still has tremendous heart, and has a great mix of action, comedy, and romance. Since it's unlikely that any of these characters will be seen in live action for a very long time, it would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity and some of the great stuff happening this season.

• Why on Earth is Lois wearing an outfit like this? Because there's probably something in the show's contract that says she has to wear a skimpy/ revealing outfit in at least one episode per season. We got the bikini scene (which was added to the main credits), the "undercover as a stripper who doesn't take off her clothes" episode, the "wear tight clothes to fit into a gang" episode, and so on.

• It's now official: Smallville , despite previous claims, takes place during the Golden age.

• Lol @ the idea that Erica Durance is in any manner or form "talented".

• WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! I think it's pretty obvious that this is NOT a Wonder Woman costume. Although it looks strikingly similar, there is no "W"/Eagle breastplate, no stars, no silver bracelets, and HEY -no golden lasso! She's carrying a whip. My best guess is that she's dressed as another character from the Warrior Angel comic who's an obvious homage to Wonder Woman or her own little make-shift costume that looks coincidentally like the other one just as a tease. Oh, and another thing...STOP BITCHING ABOUT CLARK NOT WEARING THE TIGHTS!!! Look, every day people are constantly bitching about those damned tights! The truth is they couldn't put him in them if they wanted to. The Superman costume is tied up in legal trouble with everything else Siegel introduced in Action comics. They're not going to take out anything that's already there, but there not going make things worse by throwing in more of said Siegel's design for now. As for introducing other main heroes, if they may be tied to a movie deal in the next few years, they're off limits. That's just how it goes. Hopefully, Green Arrow will become the exception with SuperMax if the producers get their heads back out of their asses, but don't expect much else. Everyone needs to relax. I'm just as disappointed as everyone else, but I can either watch the show or leave it alone. I'm amazed at how many people don't think the show is worth their time, but bitching about it constantly is a real time-saver. It's not canon, it's more of an Elseworld story. I hate to take it down to this statement, but it's better than nothing.

• A magic comic book. Hahaha. Wasn't that a plot to a Goosebumps book? How could you complain about how she's dressed? Look at her. Damn!

• Well played, sir / madam. Well played.

• Beautiful? Sure. Talented? Um... when put next to Tom Welling, sure, but let's not have any delusions here. The girl can't act, and to her credit seems quite aware of the fact.

• Hey, the TWOP forum has infiltrated ToplessRobot!

• Real Lois?

• Oh yeah, not a patch on the Lois Lane who used to try to trick Superman into marrying her and trick Clark into revealing he was Superman, casting magic spells or vying with her rival Lana Lang for Superman's affections during the Silver Age (well within the 50 years you speak of!

• OMG! This is a mess. How come was Lois Lane dressed as wonder woman? This is a joke.

• It's true! I saw the magic comic book "ripped from the headlines" story on Law & Order!

• Smallville continues to be appallingly bad as does this Not-at-all-like-Lois. I've been reading Superman comics for over fifty years and I think I'm qualified to say the awful character named "Lois," and the really bad actress who portrays her is a great reason to watch anything but Smallville. This show, which once held such promise is a laughingstock with Clark as an idiot and a jerk and every plotline worse than the one before. There is nothing about this show worth watching and it in no way resembles the real Superman legend with a hero who is a really decent guy nor the real Lois who is well educated and ethical and didn't cheat her way into the Daily Planet as Nois did. Nor would the real Lois ever screw her boss for favors which Not-Lois also clearly did. Anyone who claims Not-Lois is a fabulous, ethical jounalist and deserves to be at the DP has blotted out the fact that she didn't even graduate from high school and her only "background" is lying up stories for a tabloid rag. Even the producers said plainly that Not-Lois stole her cousin Chloe's life, the girl who actually earned her place at the DP before she was fired for HELPING THE HERO. So no-Smallville is a total drag and has been for years and Not-Lois drags it down even further.

• So are we complaining that Lois is dressed up as Wonder Woman. Because all I want right now is her with that costume on my face.

• I'd hit it.

• Yup, I agree with CB.

• It's disappointing to see so many comments from what appears to be both men and women being so disrespectful toward a fellow human being. Erica Durance is a beautiful and talented actress who doesn't deserve comments about her breasts, her weight, or an interview with Howard Stern that made her so uncomfortable that she left the place in tears. The criticisms of Lois Lane's ethics and education are also ridiculous considering that she's one of the most ethical characters on the show outside of Clark Kent himself - who, by the way, has the same amount of education as Lois Lane on the show. Yep, Lois hasn't killed anyone like Chloe and Oliver and she's not turning into Big Sister with unauthorized spying like Chloe is this season. To me, Lois is a great role model for young women about how to be confident in yourself, to keep trying, and to see what's perfect in one's imperfections. Also, I'm not getting the complaints about costumes and magic comic books. This isn't just Smallville that incorporates these cheesy and fantastical elements, it's pretty much in line with stuff seen throughout the superhero comic book genre. There are panels from comics showing Lois dressed up as Wonder Woman, Robin, you name it, and enchanted rings or irradiated meteorites are all part of the comic book universe. Smallville doesn't seem to be doing anything different here. It's a shout out to a character they can't get on the show and to a funny comment Erica Durance made at last summer's Comic-Con. It's all in good fun, and it would be nice if frustrations about Clark not taking up the mantle of Superman just yet weren't taken out on the character of Lois or the actress who plays her. Anyway, that's my two cents. I truly believe that those who are skeptical about the show should check it out. This episode, Warrior, may not be your thing, but there's other great stuff happening that you may not want to miss.

• Erica Durrance in a Wonder Woman outfit. Who gives a fuck about plot?

• Aren't we all? I mean, that is one giant kryptonite dildo!

• yeah, i heard about that. i facepalm'd hard when i heard that what they did with Doomsday. i mean, seriously?! but maybe ater i'm done with Dexter, i'll go back to watching it just to have a better opinion of it.

• Yeah... That's not Wonder Woman. That's Xena's costume with some weird colors added. Tapert and the Raimis should sue. - And I'm with the sensible folks: Smallville sucks. It's still just Dawson's Creek with cheap special effects.

• I would advise checking this season out. Despite what the Chloe fanatic above me said, this season has been leaps and bounds above seasons 5-7 and Clark is actually being Supermanly. Some people however can't let go of the show being Chloe-ville like it was in season 8 with Doomsday (widely acknowledged as Failsday)

• Are you fucking serious? The irony about bitching about a woman's tits and calling her a slut while your own handle is "feminist" is well...ironic. I'm a woman and I think she looks fuckin' fantastic. Not so hot on the WW homage but then I'm not so hot on Warrior Angel being a homage to Superman either.

• Maybe he's just trying to avoid being raped by Chantz Fortune.

• Smallville sucks. Why didn't they change the name to Metropolis? What's the actual concept now?

• Sad but true.

• Lol this show's still on the air?

• see, i wouldn't know that. i stopped watching this show a long time ago1 but now that i know what's going on, i'll be extra sure to not care and avoid this like the fucking plague!

• oh Smallville, your corny "originality" knows no bounds. i mean it takes a man who's "SUPPOSED" to be Superman 8 to 9 seasons to fucking FLY?! i gave up caring and really only watched this show for Lex. then they decided to knock him off and i just stop watching all together. there are better shows. shame my friend can't see that. she's OBSESSED with Smallville. she's my age but has the brain of someone who's bloody 15!!!

• See, this is why I haven't watched the show in years. It doesn't even make SENSE anymore.

• Someone needs to tell Ms. Durance that she's too old to be dressing like a slut every episode. We've been looking at her fake tits in leather for way too long now. This season is laughable with it being the Adventures Of Lois' love life. Every episode is about who she's in LUUUUVVVE with. Even this one is supposed to be Chloe-centric, (remember her?) yet what are we talking about? Erica's tits. Again. Snore.

• ANOTHER reason why Smallville should have ended YEARS ago!!

• Best. Comment. Ever.

• May not be WW, but sure is <b>W</b>o<b>W</b>

• "That chick with the big honkin' silver bracelets? She's an Amazon. It's iconic, like the big red S." You're saying this about a show that DOESN'T HAVE A BIG RED 'S' ON ITS SUPERMAN. It's what you'd expect from this show. Not to mention, it's just a costume she probably wore as a joke.

• Join in the 'who the fuck cares, HOLY SHIT ERICA DURANCE IS HOT' chorus. Sigh. Smallville is at least making an effort to get me to watch again this year, I'll give 'em that.

• agreed. Erica Durance is hot. Side note: If you find the Howard Stern interview of Erica Durance, it will add loads of sauce to everyone's faping

• It's a nice homage, but it clearly isn't Wonder Woman, and they won't say her name. Even if Smallville had the rights to the name, I'm sure they'd like to avoid nailing down exactly who already exists in their universe (before Superman) and who doesn't, and what their origin is. Especially big heroes who have movies in development (hell). We have to weed through a season of crappy Zod to get tidbits of D.C. goodies like Zatanna, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, or Martian Manhunter. Even the Wonder Twins are preferable to "Warrior Angel".

• I think that would make me start watching the show at all.

• It doesn't fit within the Smallville world but who cares?!? It's a hot chick in a Wonder Woman outfit.

• I know right? That would make me watch the show over and over and over.

• That looks more like Xena: Warrior Princess costume than Wonder Woman. It's still laughable & the costume probably moves more than the actress over-botoxed face. Smallville is becoming a JOKE!

• Call me a hypocrite but magic Halloween stores in Buffy works for me, but magic comic shops in Smallville does not.

• The show is becoming a bad parody about the wacky hijinks of the worst version of LL ever. Uneducated, unethical & slept with the boss. Clark is a secondary character this season. So. much. FAIL! Where's the originality, story integrity Smallville had in the beginning? It's sunk so low.

• Mark my words, "Wonder Woman" as a proper noun will not be uttered once during the episode. They might make some play on the term in an uncapitalized context, but that's the closest they'll get. They've left just enough wiggle room on the costume to make it a recognizable homage without it being the actual outfit. No stars on the bottom, no W/eagle design on the top, the bracelets are leather, etc.

• Lol. That would be freakin' awesome. "Don't cut the tulips!" *sob* "NOW you shall PAY!!!" heh heh heh

• A few years ago, there was a Daily Planet headline that mentioned Themyscira. Of course, nothing ever came of it and it's really more of a DVR nerd Easter egg.

• Like we haven't had enough of her boobs in pleather... Put them away, woman, and eat a damn sandwich! Magic comic book is still better than most of the shit going on these last 2 seasons. I'm waiting for Darkseid the emo florist, guys.

• Also, supposedly the reason they're sticking to the "no Superman costume" rule is because Welling doesn't want to wear it, and it's in his contract.

• The way I hear it, the episode has to do with a comic convention being held in Metropolis, and a comic that was somehow "accidentally enchanted" that Zatanna is tracking down that gives people super powers. My guess is that Lois' costume is somehow related to the convention aspect of the episode, though it would be interesting to see if they directly reference Wonder Woman at all in the process.

• This episode takes place at a comic con and Zatana is the guest star. I think it's safe to assume that she is the reason magic is used.

• Flying and wearing blue tights would be unrealistic and corny. Magic comic books that make you powerful are ripped from today's gritty headlines!!!!

• Smallville is always doing weird shit like this as an "homage" to the original characters in the comic format. Why they can't just bring on the original characters as they should be...*shrugs* I guess that's just Smallville's thing. Good for dumb fun, not much else.

• Dude, lighten up. Smallville is SHIT. On the other hand, I am definitely going to masturbate to this picture tonight. Thank you God.

• The bracelets are wrong. They are supposed to be silver. They always have been silver, and should always be silver. That chick with the big honkin' silver bracelets? She's an Amazon. It's iconic, like the big red S. </rant>

• the reason lois is dressed as wonder woman is because she proably touched the comic book. for the producers of smallville have kept wanting wonder woman to appear on the show and keep getting turned down so because of that wonder woman may not exist in the small ville universe till she shows up. as for the no super man suit. the big rule of the show is no tights and they also stated clark would not fly. so looks like the no tights rule for clark still stands.

• Wonder Woman by way of Xena: Warrior Princess?

• To be fair, Wonder Woman barely exists in any universe.

• I dont know how this works at all, but RAWR!

• And copious amounts of peyote at the drawing board. Holy. Shiving. Lit.

• That said; it is a very well done wonder woman costume

• I liked the 30 Rock shoutout title

• A. MAGIC. COMIC. BOOK.
