“Kara teaches Clark to fly” and other Smallville scoop from Al Gough
This is really good! Al Gough was interviewed by TV Guide and of course he has all the inside scoop on Clark and his journey to becoming Superman!!!
On flying -
(We’re) following up on what Chloe said about his lack of flying in the season premiere (”Clark, you need to get on that”), Kara will be giving him “flying lessons” later in the season. Although with Clark, they end up being more like “falling lessons.”
On other DC comics characters appearing in Smallville -
You’ll see Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Bizarro, and the return of Brainiac and the Green Arrow… as well as a future hero to be named later!
You haven’t seen the last of Bizarro, and the Legion of Doom is always a possibility. And in the words of Forrest Gump, that’s all I’ve got to say about that!
On Clark’s relationship with Lana, which we know will end sometime later (since Clark the-Superman ends up with Lois) -
The fact is, Clark loves Lana, and that is one of the central relationships of the show. She is that crucial first relationship that helps define him and his future relationships with women. The fact that he screws it up so badly, no matter how hard he tries, is one of the reasons he ends up with Lois.
On Chloe’s role as ’sidekick’ and JLA ‘Watchtower’ -
You will see Chloe in quasi-Watchtower mode around Episode 11. You’ll discover that she is still doing odd jobs for Oliver and the gang on the side. Hey, a girl’s got to pay the rent. Cub reporters don’t make squat!
On Clark’s possible role in the JLA movie -
That, unfortunately, isn’t how Hollywood works. You will see a brand-spanking-new group of actors donning the tights for that film. I heard it is under the direction of George (Mad Max) Miller, so I am personally very excited to see it.
On Lana’s fake pregnancy and Lex’ desperation -
It was a desperate and sad thing for him to do. However, the explanation was given — Lex didn’t feel Lana would marry him for himself, so he faked the pregnancy to seal the deal, then stopped drugging her with hormones after the wedding, so she thought she had a miscarriage. Remember, gang, this is one of the reasons he becomes evil, because he is desperate for love that he cannot get from his father or from Lana.
On Clark’s heritage as a Kriptonian -
Clark’s journey this season revolves around his struggle between his Kryptonian heritage and his earthly upbringing, and dealing with his cousin — which ain’t easy! Kara will give him an insight into his family (which is seriously screwed up) and his birth planet (which went boom, so there was something seriously screwed up there as well). He will grapple with his past and his future. And now that Lana is back, will he finally realize that this relationship, no matter how hard he tries, is ultimately doomed? Stay tuned.
We are definitely staying tuned!
