Cant wait to see the episode later tonight. I hope it will end up being good. The promos all look good. The advance reviews all sound good. Cant wait to see how it all plays out.

All the advanced reviews seem to really like the episode. So, I'll be looking forward to it. I'm going into the episode cautious because of Doomsday, but hopefully that caution will not be needed if what they say is true.
ReplyDeleteI so hope it doesnt disapoint tonight. All the reviews and promos been great. Also they need to make up from how things ended with doomsday.
ReplyDeleteIn other news zapit2.com has a Q and A up.
1hr to go.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a long post sorry in advance:
ReplyDeleteok well its finally premire night. First off got to say it was a pretty great episode. Though opening scene/opening credits my cw affilate was all screwed up and i had visuals but no audio. So i dont know what was said in the recap/opening parts. Though the look of things were great. Also the new visuals in the opening credits look great. I liked the new additions of season 9 footage and past season stuff.
I am glad i got audio back for the rest of the episode. The clark saving the train scene looked great. I thought the sfx were super pun intended for the whole episode. I hope they hold through the season. It does look like they got alot more money for at least the opening scene.
Acting all around was great. It was wonderful to her stamp return as the voice of jorel his scenes with clark were very good and i liked how they were interacting well with each other now. They should have been like this years ago. Tom welling as clark he pulled another good preformance out of the episode. His conflicting emotions and trying to be kryptonian and drop his human emotions should be an interesting storyline for the season. Allison mack was good too. Her fear of being along and trying to do things by herself she pulled a wonderful acting here. Emil's actor it was great to see him again, really hope they have him around more. Also i thought he pulled the techno bubble stuff well. Nice to see chloe isnt the only one for that department any more.
Callum's blue zod was pretty interesting. Smallville has always done pretty well with casting for characters. I think they hit it off the park with callum. He was strong, bold, cunning and should be a great villain this season. Erica's lois was another highlight of the episode. She is getting better and better i think through the years. It great to see her growing devotion to the blur.
Brian austin green as john corben was another good casting move i think. I enjoyed his work on TSCC. He seemed to be a pretty interesting character and i liked his scene in the tram with lois kissing her and then showing up again at the end of the episode in the daily planet. Cant wait to see how he pulls off metallo next week. also hopefully they wont kill him off after episode 2.
Writing i think souders and peterson i think redeemed them selfs a bit with the writing compared to doomsday. I thought the dialoge was good. They set up some interesting things with chloe/emil, tess/zod, zod and his followers, and the storyline for the season with clark and lois. Also i thought the fight in the barn with alia was pretty good too. Much better then the lois/tess fight or the non fight with doomsday in season finale. Also i think kevin fair did another good job with directing, he had good visuals, and i thought the angles the episode was shot in were good and pacing i thought was pretty good.
I wonder when we are going to learn more about from what point in the past they came to earth from krypton/kandor and why they are her. also interesting thing is how did alia end up in the future with powers but in present day no powers. Also cant wait to see what her connection with clark is. Also the training scenes with jorel and clark were pretty good. The fos looked great and i loved how they were doing the spinning kryptonian writing. Also that hologram testing of flying was pretty neat.
It was great also to hear about jimmy, kara and others who are missing or gone. As for the reason for no flying it works but hopefully they will figure out how he can have his human emotions and still unlock his full powers. Also what a sweet tease at the end of lois's vision from the future she was in.
Wow, that was an incredibly awesome season premiere and the last 20 or so seconds really blew me away. This episode left me wanting more... a lot more! Here is a trailer for Metallo next week:

well this is a little disapointing. I was just at tvbythenumbers.com a ratings site. Well cbs won the night, and fox's 8pm show wasnt that hot, and abc's rerun of flashforward did well. But smallville ended up doing not to hot. I was hoping it could have gotten like 3.5-4.0million. But it only got 2.5 million. Though its only early numbers, so final numbers could go a little higher.
ReplyDeleteeven though as i said ratings are down from past smallville seasons. It is better then anything cw had on friday since dropping smackdown. They said in official release its best numbers they had on a friday since smackdown left. Also in other news at the time of this posting, Savior is ranked number 7 on iTunes downloads.
ReplyDeleteI though the episode was pretty good. ***spoiler****
ReplyDeleteOne thing I wonder about is in Lois' dream sequence was that Clark in the red cape with the Zod emblem?
i dont think so it was just the jacket getup he is sporting right now with the Z symbol on his chest. it did look reddish due to the orange tint in the sky and him coming down from "flying" landing and passing that red beam.
