Kara gone from Smallville -- for a while?
Instead we see Black Canary and Green Arrow and others.
The end of February episode was the last the editors delivered prior to going on strike. My guess is that we'll see some minor snipppets of Kara without her powers and memories, wandering around downtown Detroit (??), but too minor of an appearance to show up in the script summaries.
So... so much for an empowered Kryptonian female on TV. If we're lucky, after the writers return and the final season episodes get made, if that happens this year, we might see her again. We can only hope they have big plans for her after this season, which may be Smallville's last, are over. A spinoff perhaps.
I read somewhere that she's spending most of her time this winter working on the Canadian show(s) she was appearing in before being cast as Kara.
Bottom line... Smallville continues to disappoint.
I guess its back to writing our own fiction and making fan movies.

I agree with everyone, Kara's lack of appearances in the upcoming shows really blows. But, also, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey now,
Black Canary stepping in and using her MASSSIVE Canary Cry and martial Arts skills isn't exactly a bad thing either. (In fact, I consider that uber within itself that she can literally destroy anything with a single SCREAM!" Oh yea, my pretty doing her thing, yup, yup, yup!

i am really disappionted in last esp of smallville i was really hoping to see real supegirl action maybe even see helen slater doing something super instead getting thrown all there seemed to between her father and clark and kara wakes without powers I hoping against hope that kara at least in last two esps and regain her powers does anybody know if kara will back if not i never watch smallville again.
Ok black cancery but in my head not in the same league as kara supergirl and laura was close to perfect kara they could be really feel let down almost as much when they killed off in crisis back in oct 85

I also plan to stop watching the show unless I hear that Kara has returned in an interesting role. I only watched the show for Kara's appearances. (OK... superLana was fun, but too brief).
I can always grab the episode via bit torrent and watch later if I hear of a promising episode.
Maybe if stats decline enough they'll kill it and launch Kara's spinoff. Besides, Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) won't be on show even if it does go into season 8, and I can't see the show working without him. He's been a great Lex.
Tom Welling is useless as Clark/Kal El. I hope to hell he never puts the red and blues on.
Kara, on the other hand, wears enough red and blue in most shows that's she's almost ready for a 'flight uniform'. All the writers have to do is show that her street clothing gets torn up by the slipstream (why it doesn't now, I have no idea) and that she needs something skin tight and aerodynamic.
Ditch the comic-book cape and make the skirt REALLy short (OK... she can wear super-panties I guess, as long as they are thongs) and I'll willingly suspend my disbelief on the fraying hemline thing. <grin>
All of which says we better get cracking on stories, picts and videos of our own.

I like the way you think, Argonaut. Here's hoping.

I like how he thinks, too, but we must prepare ourselves for possible reality. The writer strike could adversely affect Kara's shot at a return, since, assuming they come back to work in time to make new episodes, they'd have to work fast to get the scipts out fast enough for shooting, and in situations like this, low pirority subplots can get left on the cutting room floor. Let's all pray that Kara's subplot is not deemed "low priority" by these writers who seem to have a problem with strong females(would it be too much to ask for some version of Wonder Woman to show up on Ollie's little team? We know from a newspaper headline sometime back that Themyscira exists in the Smallville universe(their ambassador apparently visited the UN)

Although we had her for a short time I give a big thumbs up to Miss Vandervoot as Kara Zor-El. Thanks for making it fun while it lasted Laura!

If it is a daytime soap, maybe what we need are just a few clips of here looking hot to hold us over during the strike!

Bah, what's it with all this depowering of superpowered women this season? Lana, now Kara, and Nikki from Heroes suffered a similar fate (although I can't see anything "sexistic" behind this; her character wasn't used anyway) ...
Tell me about it, dude... really stupid moves latelly.
Now,did Nikki really lost her powers?Because the virus/cure thing didn´t work at all, and in the last episode they put up yet another personallity of her. So i guess she will recover her powers (Or die, what wouldn´t be that surprising )

As for Kara, she doesn't appear in the next two episodes (according to spoilers) and she isn't mentioned in any of the spoilers after that so she might or might not appear in them ... which means the earliest possible reappearance of her would be in the Jan. 10th episode, which is the one with Black Canary ... let's talk again in eight weeks :roll:

But it's possible they might slip in a brief scene of her wandering around Detroit, helpless and lost. But if so, it didn't show up in the previews or cast listings for future episodes.
But we can hope... I could envision a great scene where she discovers by accident that she's got this incredible strength and power, not to mention flight ability, but has no idea why, how or who she even is. Could be fun.
But I'm guessing the writers thought it would be cool for the Blue K to eliminate her abilities for a while and have her experience life on Earth as a normal (in this case, helpless) human so she'll appreciate us more. Or some BS like that to 'humanize' her.
Personally, I've seen all the humans on TV I want to see. I wanted to see someone put some thought into what a Kryptonian would be like who wasn't raised as a human, and then have Laura try her best to act that role out. That looked like where they were going for a bit.
But alas... I think the writers have decided to get her into this 'being human' thing so she always holds back, like Clark. That's consistent with the old SG comics.
The new comic book series (which the SM writers claimed they were going to try to stay reasonably true to) had an episode where her attempt to disguise herself and live like a human lasts about 15 minutes. She can't stand to be confined in such ways, especially after being trapped inside that chunk of Green-K for decades.
In the comics, she's Kryptonian and she makes no apologies for that. She's also got a bit of her father's darkness in her. Clark can't control her. That works for me.

I don't know what cast list exactly you are referring to; I was talking about the one from kryptonsite and as far as I know, not being mentioned on the cast list for future episodes does not necessarily mean she *isn't* in the episode ... the guys writing the spoilers just don't know yet. Also it was planned that she was going to be in about half the episodes of this season; so I don't think they'll leave her out of 7 consecutive episodes. *hopes* But then again with the writers of SV you never know ...Actually, she's not on the cast list for all the episodes through the end of February -- which is all the writers delivered before the strike.
And that was exactly what I liked about her in the first episodes where she didn't really hold back her powers and did not play Clark's "I have to fit in -- so let's be a wussy" game. But in the last two or three episodes she was in she was adapting more and more to Clark's ways and was taught that she was wrong a couple of times. (About going to Washington alone, about not listening to Clark, about her father, etc.)The new comic book series (which the SM writers claimed they were going to try to stay reasonably true to) had an episode where her attempt to disguise herself and live like a human lasts about 15 minutes. She can't stand to be confined in such ways, especially after being trapped inside that chunk of Green-K for decades.
In the comics, she's Kryptonian and she makes no apologies for that. She's also got a bit of her father's darkness in her. Clark can't control her. That works for me.
Hm. So maybe with that (incredibly stupid and absolutely clichè) amnesia she might be getting back to her old self and kick some ass once she got her powers back (it's not even exactly clear that she has lost her powers, but of course it was strongly suggested when she knocked on that door.)

Maybe BW wasn't up to everyones hopes, but it was still main stream fun and has some legs left.
Smallville ~ I knew going into it that they wouldn't let her steal the show. The couldn't let her do that. I'd almost argue that she came closer than they wanted which might get us that spin off. We'll see. If you think about it even Clark's character hasn't been ALL that super in this series.

i agree with random in way it has been most superfemale year on small screen for many a year and i read that kara will now in esp before Fracture and she thinks her name is linda. Although disappointed in blue i enjoyed see kara in smallville and i think laura is superb actress and some is quite well written also i do feel that although like many here am disappoint in way blue turned out in end for heroine i do feel that sure and in fact would surpised if didnt have superpowered kara (supergirl) back proably end hero or two season finale esps how often in comics has supergirl lost her powers than got back or even clark has lost before odd esp
anyway i living in hope that we see supergirl back in action early next year
