Smallville season 8 kicks off

Kal-el

Whew. Just cant believe that Smallville is already on its eight season. I’m a  big fan of this show, but for sure you cannot pin me down as one of those who have been regularly watching this series when it debut in early 2000s. I’m just a newbie when it comes to Smallville, but this series took my attention and my fondness for the show grew and grew. I watched seasons 1 to 6 in two months I think, and right after work I would usually spend all my time knowing who Kal-el, Chloe and Lana are.

This series was also my source for 90s songs, songs that I know I love but somehow has forgotten all about it. This is where I discovered my fave ‘Mad World’ by Smallville. This for sure will figure i my top 5 best songs of all time, at least for me. So back to the eight season of the show, Smallville debut September 19 in US. This is seen by many as the pivotal point for the show. Will this be the end of Smallville? The Lex Luthor character is taken out of the show, and whoa even Lana Lang was taken out of the series! But for the fans of Lana Lang-not me!- the character will be present on some episodes, midway of the series. Also the creators Al Gough and Miles Millar are out of the show as well and I don’t know why. In the absence of these two writers, four writers are introduced to the show. With some key figures leaving the show, new faces will be seen as well. Oliver Queen character is coming back and this character will be one of the show’s regular. One villain is inserted in the new season, and that’s Tess Mercer the new head of LuthorCorp. Davis Bloome who plays the paramedic will be present as well, and this is the show’s version of Doomsday. Now, I’ll need to watch the season premiere.

What will you do if you have an idea as to what will happen tomorrow? This and other twists are just some of the topics that are explored on the show Early Edition.

Early Edition is an old show, in fact this television show was first aired on CBS from September 1996 to May 2000. And as I always, I’m always one of the last to know and love the show. Much like Smallville where I begun to watch the show only this year. Anyway it’s better late than never, and there will always be a time to watch great shows. I know a few details about this show as this was shown on cable years ago, on a channel I can’t remember. My interest for this show was once again rekindled when I happen to chance upon an episode on AXN. I caught a glimpse of a few scenes and I know from that moment that this show is eerily familiar. So I started watching and finished the episode, and yes I like the episode. So from now on, this is one show that I’ll follow on tv. Thanks to AXN for re-runs. It was reported that a DVD of the first season will be released this June 24, 2008 but I doubt if I can find and afford that DVD.

The series is set in the city of Chicago and the show follows the adventures of a man who attempts to prevent terrible events each day; events that he learned about by receiving the next-day’s issue of the Chicago Sun-Times. The show was the brainchild of Ian Abrahams, Patrick Q. Page and Vik Rubenfeld. The series stars Kyle Chandler as Gary Hobson.

So what will you do if you are the same situation?
An officemate of mine says that she’ll be spooked and be skeptical at first. She added;

I may think that somebody might be playing tricks on me, or maybe I’m on Punk’ed.

On my part, I’ll check first the Lotto results of the day. Hehe -Mapagsamantala ano?
