Laura Vandervoort makes her final appearance on Smallville

Posted on by

TV Line announced on January 30, 2011 that Laura Vandervoort will return as Kara for one last time in one of the show’s final five episodes: Smallville Scoop: Supergirl Returns.

These are the air dates and episode titles of the final 5 episodes according to IMDB:

Season 10, Episode 17: Kent
Original Air Date—15 April 2011

Season 10, Episode 18: Booster
Original Air Date—22 April 2011

Season 10, Episode 19: Episode #10.19
Original Air Date—29 April 2011

Season 10, Episode 20: Prophecy
Original Air Date—6 May 2011

Season 10, Episode 21: Finale
Original Air Date—13 May 2011

I’m going to guess it’s the untitled episode, but it could any besides the Booster Gold episode.

Update: IMDB lists Prophecy as the second and final Season 10 episode for Laura.

New Photos of Laura as Supergirl on Smallville!

CBR just posted a big batch of Smallville “Supergirl” stills. And Spoiler TV has even more in super high res.

They’re AWESOME.

Dramatic rooftop pose!

Linda Danvers in another exciting career outfit! Sure, nobody would dress or wear their hair like that today, but 1970s’ Linda Danvers would!

Can this be the new official Supergirl costume for outside the comics, please? I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Left: More of the alternate costume! The colours are much better than in the video interview.
Right: Laura looking very Lynda Carter-as-Diana Prince. Her knowing little smile is too cute!

One more “Supergirl” pose to finish:

The full set of images from CBR and Spoiler TV is available in the Supergirl Gallery.

Reflections on Smallville Season 1

Posted on by

I just spent an afternoon watching 6×11 through 6×14 (my boyfriend and I are working through this season for the first time), the new Season 7 episode from this week (Apocalypse), and then the very first 2 episodes from Season 1.

I remembered the pilot being two hours and much more dramatic than it actually was. But wow, it was a nice breather from all the uber-angsty, insane-o-drama of Season 6 (which I am finding to be an absolute TRAINWRECK as far as the Lana/Lex plot goes). I actually really liked the early episodes. I hadn’t watched the first season since it first aired, and I realized something afterwards: Clark is actually *smarter* at the beginning than he is today. He gets progressively dumber as time goes on. It’s really refreshing to not see him acting so big ‘n’ dumb after the stupidity of the most recent seasons, but why the dumbing down? Maybe it’s because Chloe and Pete aren’t in on the secret yet, so he’s forced to act and making decisions on his own more. Or maybe his IQ dropped as he bulked up…

Something else my boyfriend and I both remarked on is that Lana is such a happy person when the show starts. For a girl who talks to her dead parents in the graveyard, she’s remarkably positive about life. It’s so sad to see that picture of her as a little girl crying her eyes out upon seeing her parents killed, and realizing that’s what she’ll be doing for the rest of the series >_< It’s like everybody’s lives just spun out of control in increasingly horrible ways after a very optimistic beginning.
