Season Spoilers

In the early going, Tess will be interacting mostly with Zod. They’ll eventually align, but they’ll have different agendas: She wants to protect the Blur, he wants to find it. In other Smallville news, I hear episode 3 — featuring a zombified Lois — is spooktacular. (Ausiello)

Sources confirm exclusively that Smallville has cast Julian Sands (24, Warlock, a million other things) to play a young Jor-El. He’ll make his debut in the November episode “Kandor” when it’s revealed that he arrived with Zod and the other Kandorians. Save for a brief appearance as a vision in season 3, Jor-El has been heard but never seen on Smallville (Terrence Stamp does the voiceover honors). As of now, Sands is locked in for one episode. (Ausiello)

One of the following is true about this season’s sixth episode:
* Lois and Clark go on a date together.
* Lois goes on a date with someone other than Clark.
* Clark goes on a date with someone other than Lois.
* Lois and Clark both go on a date with other people. (Ausiello )

Smallville isn’t messing around with the special effects. It looks like they pulled out all the stop on the sweet, first episode. Also, all of you Lois lovers will be happy to know Erica Durance (Lois Lane) is interwoven throughout many storylines and is front and center during most of the show. Set three weeks after the events of the finale, Clark (Tom Welling) is training to be Superman and is struggling with leaving his humanity behind. He’s frustrated with his inability to fly, but is told by trainer Jor-El it’s because, “You still see yourself as a human.” Meanwhile Clark’s relationship with Chloe (Allison Mack) is downright rocky, while he remains obsessed with Lois. Lois doesn’t have a clue where she was for the last three weeks, but when she returns, it’s in the company of a freaky Kryptonic-ninja lady from the future whose out to get Clark. And watch out for Lois’ scary dream sequence at the end of the episode: there’s sex, sweat, blood and death. (KristinEonline)

Producers are planning to include the Wonder Twins, Green Arrow’s sidekick Speedy, the Justice Society of America and future Daily Planet boss Perry White this season. (KristinEonline)

Oliver will meet the bad guy version of the Green Arrow (a.k.a. the Dark Archer) in episode 10. (Ausiello)

Storyline involving Chloe and Oliver: Next Friday’s episode, “Roulette,” is all about Oliver, with a little Chloe twist thrown in. (Ausiello)

While Clois relationship hasn’t exactly moved along faster than a speeding bullet, you’ll be glad to know that there are blue skies on the horizon — beginning with this week’s big smooch. “They both have a few issues, so things never go as smoothly as you think,” says exec producer Kelly Souders. “But what’s great about the relationship, because it’s sort of more adult, mature relationship, is it actually brings their issues up to the forefront, and makes them start dealing with them instead of being the younger versions of themselves, where they might not have been that conscious of it.” (Ausiello)

“I would say tune into [episode 9] ‘Pandora,’” Souders teases. “Reality is relative in ‘Pandora,’ but I will say that when [Lois] goes to the future, there’s some skin there.” Souders adds that “‘Pandora’ is literally like a finale. It’s huge. You’ll see an alternate ending for everyone in the cast. You’ll see what could happen to them and the future is dramatic. You won’t be disappointed.” (Ausiello)

“There’s something coming up in these first nine episodes,” Souders reveals, “in which Clark might at least contemplate glasses.” (Ausiello)

Exec producer Kelly Souders confirms that the highly anticipated eppys (titled “Society” and slated to air in early 2010) will mark the return of Phil Morris as Martian Manhunter. (Ausiello)

The calm before the storm, perhaps? “Chloe fans will not be disappointed,” Souders maintains. “There will be some budding romance in her life from an unexpected source.” Oliver? “I’m not saying.” In possibly related news, Souders reveals to me exclusively that during the second half of the season, “Chloe is going to meet a new hero who is not all that he’s cracked up to be.” Will this hero be carrying a DC Comics certificate of authenticity? “I don’t think we got the rights to his name cleared,” says Souders, “but it’s somebody fans of the show will be familiar with.” (Ausiello)

‘Smallville’ exec to fans: ‘We’re pushing for a 10th season!’ (Ausiello)

Source also says, “The two-part Justice Society episode is going to make Superman fans, no actually comic book fans. LOSE. THEIR. S–T.” You have been warned. (KristinEonline)

Rosenbaum recently met with the Smallville writers, but, sadly, it was just to shoot the breeze. “He came by the writers’ office a couple weeks ago,” says Souders. “We all love him. The crew and the cast love him. We would love to have him back. We’re constantly talking to him trying to figure out if there’s a way. And believe me, we will keep fighting that fight until the final episode. And I know he’d love to come back, too.” Wait, if he wants to come back, and the show wants him back, what’s the holdup? “He’s doing other projects, so the timing of things is always a little tricky,” says Souders. (Ausiello)

“We have a story that we would love to tell with Perry [White],” says Souders. “But [Michael McKean] is in a Broadway show right now. So he’s not exactly available at the moment.” (Ausiello)

I hear she’s going to stir up some love-triangle drama between Lois and Clark in the episode’s called “Warrior.” In other Smallville news, Tom Welling’s practically naked — and he’s making out with Lois! (Ausiello)

On Chloe’s new love interest - She meets him at San Diego Comic-Con Metropolis Wonder-Con. (Ausiello)

I’m hearing The CW has decided to package Smallville’s upcoming (and highly-anticipated) Justice Society-themed two-parter into a two-hour movie event airing on Jan. 29. The Geoff Johns-penned episodes, titled “Society” and “Legends” and featuring such DC Comics stalwarts as Stargirl, Hawkman, and Dr. Fate, were originally designed to air separately. But, according to Smallville insiders, CW execs felt they could get more mileage out of combining them. (Ausiello)

Blaxploitation icon-turned-L-Word staple Pam Grier is joining the cast for multiple episodes, sources confirm to me exclusively. Grier has been booked to play DC Comics villainess Agent Amanda Waller. The Golden Globe nominated actress (for Jackie Brown) will make her debut in the second hour of the upcoming Justice Society-centric two-parter, “Legends,” scheduled to air in late January. (Ausiello)

On Warrior Angel being the love interest of Chloe: He is, but per exec producer Brian Petersen, “There’s a wink behind it.” And what about a real, non-winky love interest? “I have promised that we’re going to give Chloe a relationship this year, and rest-assured, that was not just a tease. She will have a relationship this year.” Does this guy have a name? Teases BP: “We’ll know [who he is] in ‘Warrior.’” (Ausiello)

According to e.p. Brian Petersen, “we will see glimpses of” several other Justice Society members in Smallville other than Hawkman, Dr. Fate and Stargirl. (Ausiello)

Brian Austin Green returns as Metallo! Sources confirm to me exclusively that Brian Austin Green will reprise his role as the kryptonite-powered villain in this season’s 18th episode, scheduled to air in the spring. Green debuted as journo John Corben (a.k.a. Metallo) in Smallville’s season premiere back on Sept. 25. He was killed off the following week when he accidentally ripped his mechanical heart out of his chest. (Ausiello)

Chloe’s love interest – The character’s name is Steven Swift, his alias is Warrior Angel, and he’s being played by Carlo Marks. He played Chloe’s “what if” fiancé in the season 7 episode “Apocalypse.” (Ausiello)

It’s official – Smallville’s upcoming two-hour Justice Society-centric “movie” is now an actual movie. Sources confirm to me exclusively that The CW has jettisoned the separate titles that were initially assigned to each of the two episodes — “Society” and “Legends,” respectively — in favor of the singularly sensational (and far more marketable) Smallville: Absolute Justice. (Ausiello)

This one’s pretty yummy: Later this season, Clark takes Lois on a romantic getaway to a bed and breakfast. Tasty, right? Well, there’s more. Guess who’s also enjoying a quiet weekend away at the same B&B? Oliver and Chloe! (Ausiello)

This one isn’t going to taste nearly as good as the last one. Rumor has it Clark will get infected with red kryptonite again. (Ausiello)

Annette O’Toole is returning as Ma Kent, executive producer Brian Peterson confirms to me exclusively that Smallville is also bringing back Michael McKean as Perry White at season’s end. The iconic character’s latest trip through Smallville will bring him “closer to his destiny” than ever before, adding, “We finally get to see the legendary introduction between Perry White and the intrepid Lois Lane.” O’Toole and McKean will appear in this season’s penultimate episode 21. (Ausiello)

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Annette O’Toole has inked a deal to reprise her role as Clark’s mom later this season. Producers are still working out the exact timing of Martha’s reappearance, but a Smallville insider tells me it’ll most likely fall during May sweeps. That same source hints that the mother-son reunion will be rocked by an “unexpected surprise” or two. (Ausiello)

Valentine’s Day-themed episode on Feb. 19, features two things no Smallville fan should miss: Lois dancing in a wedding dress and a catfight between Chloe and Tess! (Ausiello)

New: Two characters will soon discover each others’ secret identities. (Ausiello)
