Another Supergirl on Smallville

Best-case scenario:

The Bionic Woman is a hit. Kara sends Smallville's ratings sky-high. The uberwomen on Kyle XY and Sarah Connor Chronicles become "fan favorites."

Superwomen are the "new big thing" in Hollywood -- bigger than reality TV. Executives scramble to get on the bandwagon. How will writers and producers be able to meet the demand?

Then someone in Hollywood discovers this site ...

TV networks bid furiously for the rights to "Milena's Diary." A major studio offers millions for the rights to "Atalanta." The Sci-Fi Channel wants to turn "The Project" into a mini-series. And so on.

Of course, we SWManiacs keep our wits about us. Rather than sign away our intellectual property, we demand creative control. We supervise the casting process. We have veto power over every detail of the scripts based on our stories. And of course, we see to it that we have unlimited special-effects budgets.

We take our money, quit our day jobs, and devote ourselves to writing full-time ...

Argonaut, I'm rubbing my lucky rabbits foot and tossing pennies down the wishing well with ya.

The possible dawn of a new era (well TV season at least) is upon us.

Well, Supergirl's Sex Slave certainly agrees with you judging by the thread he started on this forum.

Have to admit, never mind pennies, I'm tossing 5s and 10s down the well with him as well as Argo.

So the title of the first episode of SmVl season 7 is "Bizzaro" ~ and there is more confirmation from CW that SG in SmVl is legit. I wonder what episode she'll first show up in.

Not to stray off topic but the more I see previews of this show the less excited I get about it. I'm not crazy about the casting. Anyone think I'm crazy?

Could the Smallville writing and casting be better? Absolutely.

But this is the only place we are going to see Kara Zor-el in a prime-time (read 'decent special effects') production in the near future.

Those of us who are 'true believers' will always want more. But we think in terms of fetish, and that's not going to sell on prime-time.

So I'll be more than content with whatever we get.

I agree on SmVl casting ~ however ~ to me it falls between the SOAPS and the big three prime time casting ~ which isn't *too* bad. The actors are okay but it's clear they were targeting demographics.

Regarding the only good effects being in prime time ~ Ouch Shadar Ouch.

I should qualify that statement... the only expensive effects. Yours are pretty darn good. But you aren't competing with Hollywood yet... but with time and technology... the gap is closing for sure.

Your videos are a thousand percent better than anything like themtwo years ago.

Once you unplug your speakers, that's a very enjoyable clip.

My goodness... if Krisi is going to play Kara, methinks they got it right this time. She not only fits pretty close to the current comic book (although Krisi is bustier), but her look is amazingly right for Kara.

Check it out... I've got a bunch more picts of her if you want me to post more.

But can she act? If they cast her only for her looks, the CW will get an awful lot of bad publicity. Can she play the lead in a spin-off? She needs some talent or the show won't last.

Thanks for the pics!

Very hot. Almost too hot for Smallville. It will take all the attention from the boy wonder. Gawd I'd love to see those long legs in flight.

Yeah, that's a good point. But on the other hand...

Can we vote? My hand's raised. Both hands. Wonder who decided to talk to her and how much influence he or she has. Clearly, Krisi would draw in the viewers on looks alone, let alone the fact that she's Supergirl.

Nice quick little photoenhance... I see you liked that pict too... I have to admit, it was one of my fav's. The mystery of what's underneath... first that exotic costume and then... madness.

Unfortunately, the show's director says 'flights but no tights'. The premise of the show is no costumes.

On the other hand, she can fly and Clark can't (yet). She grew up on Krypton and left as a teenager, then went into suspended animation while Clark grew up. She was supposed to arrive when he was a baby and raise him. Now she's a year or two younger than him.

But, she's a true blue Krypt, by birth, by upbringing, culture, etc. She's just been timewarped a bit.

Clark is Kryptonian by genetics, but otherwise is thoroughly human. Upbringing, culture, mores, thinking... all human.

It'll be interesting how a Kryptonian-raised girl interfaces with a human-thinking Krypt who doesn't even know how to use all his powers.

Apparently, from the spoilers, one of the first things she'll do is to teach him to fly.

Man... she can take flying any day.

Wow ~ I'm with Shadar on this vote (and most votes).

Thanks for the great Manip Spulo ~ good trim, shading, and highlight to give it some depth and match up ~ as always a favorite for the same reasons as Shadar.
