Lost and Smallville Return Next Week
I have to tip my proverbial hat (I don’t wear hats, but if I did it would probably be that one from Fargo) to the marketing peeps over at Lost and Smallville. Even though their shows have taken extremely long breaks, I’m still pretty jazzed to turn on the ol’ tube next week. The big return is going to be the first episode of the final season of Lost (I just noticed how ridiculous that sounds). I’ve never really fancied myself as a Lostie, but after waiting for what feels like an eternity, I’m pretty excited to see what is in store for the island dwellers.
I’ve spent the better part of this week (of my own time boss, I swear 
) catching up on the latest promos for this season and watching the final few episodes from last season. I’m of the thought that nobody actually ‘dies’ in Lost so the return of some characters won’t surprise me. Especially because the show plays around with time so much. The only characters I would be extremely surprised to see would be Libby and Mr. Eko but not because of their characters, just because the actors were basically kicked off the show. I’m also not the type to try and predict what this whole thing is about. That’s where Internet arguments get started and terrible names like ‘noob’ get thrown around. Don’t want to get into that situation. In any case, next Tuesday should be a fun evening. Check out the latest promo I could find:
Smallville is a bit of a different story. This has been one of my guilty pleasures for a long time now and after a few seasons of terrible acting thanks to Kristin Kruek, Smallville almost lost my devotion. Good timing by Kruek leaving the show has brought forth some pretty entertaining story lines though. The show is becoming less and less about Clark‘s ridiculous lust for his high school sweetheart and more about his adult life and coming into his own responsibilities as Superman. Sure it’s a bit of a stretch to see Chloe still kicking around, but Allison Mack is easy on the eyes so I don’t complain a lot about the fact that the Watchtower is now a person… Smallville returns this Sunday with a 2-hour mini-movie thing that has comic book lovers sporting partials. Focusing on the Justice Society and the inclusion of a team of super heroes, the return of Smallville could be a big launch pad for fans to get back into the series.
