"CRUSADE - Season Four Premiere"
By Mercedes
Well September 22nd from 8-9 pm finally has come and passed now lets
talk about the premiere for the fourth season of Smallville. You have
to give it to the “WB” they did their job promoting “Crusade” with
endless trailers strewn across the TV and net, each with a tad bit more
info and different scenes than it’s predecessor making you just
salivate for more. A few friends of mine had even found a website that
had leaked some clips from the show before it aired. I saw them and
they were so little that they weren’t worth viewing but it does help me
arrive to my first question....Was that Tom’s body or no? Hey if it was
Mr. Welling, Jamie you are one lucky woman if not somebody is! It makes
you wonder if Smallville still had a 9'oclock time slot maybe just
maybe we would have been able to get a full view of the awesome
backside of Clark/Kal-El (Tom Welling or his double) in the hospital
waiting room or in the corn field where he and Lois had their first
meeting. Oh how I envy anyone that had anything to do with the filming
of those scenes. Something intrigued me concerning Kal-El though
Clark’s alter counter part. Even though he had this trance thing going
on, he was still loveable kind of dark but more handsome and strong.
Seeing him pick Lois up and moved her out of the door way......come on
gotta love it (Lois did). Speaking of Lois (Erica Durance) I was so
excited about her being a character this season. I give Mrs. Durance’s
portrayal of Lois an A+ thus far. I think her interaction with Clark is
going to be somewhat Lois and Clark (the TV series) reminiscent.
Besides Clark needs someone to “De-Flannel” him a little and the future
love of his life is perfect for the role. Did you see Clark/Kal-El fly?
Oh my gosh! Tom looks great in black as usual.
Lana (Kristen Kreuk) will have her hands full the season with her new
beau Jason Teague (Jensen Ackles). I like him already. He seems to be
very good for her although I believe things between Lana and Clark are
far from over. (At least I hope not). Let’s hope the tattoo placed on
her back by that ancient relic will strongly play into that somehow. And
since Lois is Chloe’s (we all know she’s not dead) cousin does that mean
there will be no chance for a Clark-Chloe union? In my opinion it’s far
too incestuous for my tastes but who knows what this season will bring.
Hmmm who would have thunk it, Lana with an older man, Clark and his
older woman things will certainly be interesting this year and that’s
the way it should have been all along. The time for Smallville’s
rejuvenation has been needed for a while and it’s great to see the
show’s creators responding to the void left from last season. I want to
be captivated by my favorite TV show. Bringing Lois and Jason on board
hopefully will do that. I also hope they bring a new love interest for
Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) he needs someone... WHO’S NOT LANA... okay I’m
back now. Anyway I loved this first episode and not just because I got
to see a little Clark/Kal-El/Tom/perhaps body double flesh. This hour
was well written and seeing Margot Kidder (The Ultimate Lois Lane) as
Dr. Swann’s (Christopher Reeve- the Ultimate Superman) assistant was a
real treat. It takes a real stroke of genius to bring the original
actors back to where it all began. It also makes it more real for the
legions Superman fans from the past, present and future generations to
come.
Toodles till next episode
