Smallville creator Al Gough interview – season 7 and beyond
May 19, 2007 by Grace
What will season 7 of Smallville be like?
If Magazine interviewed Alfred Gough, the co-creator behind Smallville and we read some very interesting ‘previews’ to the next seasons. We know Michael Rosenbaum won’t be coming back beyond a 7th season, but Tom Welling is signed up until season 8, so does this mean Smallville will stay put for two more years?
GOUGH: We’ll officially find out about season 7 on May 17th [during the CW upfronts], but obviously we feel very confident we’ll be back. As for season 8, who knows? There are a lot of factors that will play into that decision, not the least of which is the quality of season 7, so that is what we are focusing on at the moment. If there is an 8th season, that would be the show’s last. Every hero may have a beginning, but every story has an end.
Phil Morris wished/speculated about a Justice League spin-off. What does Gough have to say about it?
GOUGH: I don’t believe you’ve seen the last of Ollie, or some of his friends. Who knows, when you see him again, he may have more!
iF: Will there be any other D.C. characters planned for the next season?
GOUGH: Absolutely, stay tuned for an announcement in the late summer.
So a JLA spin-off is looking more than just guess now. Make all the fans happy and put this through, please.
Now about all those people who ‘died’ in the last episode “Phantom“… We thought Lois did, but she resurrected. There are rumors that Annette O’Toole is the one to go, not die, but disappear into her new life as Senator. And Chloe? Lana?
GOUGH: The idea that Chloe had a power was always something in the back of our minds, but we didn’t want it to be a cheap trick, we wanted the audience to be invested in the character and her relationship with Clark, and if we were going to do it, it was to deepen the character, which we think it does, and will allow us to keep exploring Chloe in season 7. You’ll see her power first manifest in the season finale.
‘Explore Chloe’ – what exactly does that mean? We shall have to wait for a few months.

twice as powerful*
and for some people saying this is the last season i so hope its not this is my favorite show of all time right beside sliders and heros! I think they could stretch it out for a couple more years and even have a superboy to carry on the show =)
smallville should end with superboy being born (could u imagine it with chloe, the boy would have all of clarks powers and unlearned powers and also all of chloes powers too) Super Super Boy!
I dont think it should end up with superboy because its not about being superboy, and getting Chloe’s powers or Clark’s powers, its about being superman and it shows in SmallVille that how superman began. Clark is superboy now is becoming a superman.
yeah i know but dont you think it should end with Clark having his own family? Like because even that would show how much of a superman he is with a family but still is out there putting his life on the line for others. Thats a superman right there
From the first season the feelings between Clark and Lana are obvious and she showed it in all the seasons, especially in season 6 since beginning to suspect the Clark´s secret she made everything to protecting him , and he really loves her too. Chloe is his best friend but only this and Lois uhm I don´t like her.The life of Clark and Lana was connected from always and should be toghether , remember in the episode Pilot when Martha asked a wish to Lana and then Clark come in Kent´s family.
I do not like the idea of super girl in the show because Clark is the focus on the history, anyway i waiting for season 7 and CLARK AND LANA FOREVER
The most beautiful couple in the tv shows.

when lanas car blows up she doesnt die, clark comes to the rescue, i saw it on youtube
it would be good if the series ended with him becoming superman, but i dont want it to end, it is my fav show
I know but these people cant keep making it for their entire life, the story of SmallVille show has to end some place, these people also have to make other shows as well not just one show. How dose Clark rescue Lana when Lana’s car blows up? This part I haven’t seen it. It’s my fav show too.
Yeah ur right Lana dosen’t did Clark rescues her. it’s my favorite show too.
Sorry about that ur right Lana dosen’t die Clark rescues her. it’s my favorite show too.

Hey Kevin that was pretty amazing cool i loved it, i am desperate to watch this seventh season.

So, Lana has moved to Shanghai in China, i have seen the first episode. Chloe didn’t die, but i don’t think anyone thought that she had..? Next episode will be about Lana in China, i suppose, the episode’s name is after all “Lana”..
o ok…chole’s alive, she culdn’t hav died, she’s like the bomb of the show…
ws da 1st episode really gud?? i havn’t seen it, jst seen the pics of the episode on the web

Well Elias u bought the DVD of SmallVille season 7 and u saw the first episode really, u got the SmallVille season 7 6 DVD pack? Is it really out at ur place?
LANA AND CLARK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
season 7 is amazing…lana’s is up 2 something…n lex, well jst luv him…he’s seems 2 b turnin gud now
it seems lana is turning out to be bad, maybe there trying to push him and clark onto different paths and open up clark with louis lane his true love. lana seems more suspicious this year, and seems to have a fetish of some sorts with lex luthor, heck they even kissed and she enjoyed it! I think she will end up with lex and thats how lex will find out the truth about clark. I hope clarks cousin remembers him! otherwise lex is gonna try to use her against him
Hey guys i haven’t got SmallVille season 7 yet because it’s not out here yet, i can’t wait to see season 7 i go to the movie shop to check if they have SmallVille season 7 but they say they don’t have it now i go to the shop every month to check out if the SmallVille season 7 is arived or not and still it hasn’t come out yet i think i have to wait few more months to get it, i am sure u must be all enjoying SmallVille season 7.

i feel it is time for clark and lois to start dating. it has been long awaited n i think its the right time
Hey guys how r u doing? I think season 8 is out and its not out here yet, i mean some parts of season 8 is here but not the complete season 8, i have season 8 but its 1to 10 episode and there r other episodes till about 2 or 3 i think, but i am still looking for complete season 8 and still wondering wats going to happen next on episode 11 of season 8, will Clark able to find Chloe and save her from the ultimate weapon and his fortress from brainac? I really need to see that can’t wait to see it. Oh and tell me all of u guys have seen the complete season 8?
yup i seen the complete season….its good but not one of the best seasons for the show. do you want me to answer you with what happens? I dont want to spoil it lol
I’m on episode 19 and stil Clark and Louis arent together….lol
you know u can watch the shows online
Na, thanks Kevin, ur on episode 19 thats good ur watching online or u have it on DvD? I just saw two episodes of Smallville season 8, i’ll watch Smallville on online. Hey Kevin if ur on MSN hotmail then u can add me my e-mail address is usman_ak00@hotmail.com, so we can chat what do say?
ok ill add you, i watch it on the cw network on tv
Hey Kevin, I was watching SmallVille season 8 episode 14 and i was in the middle of the movie and some guy put a membership on it and it wasn’t even fineshed yet, now we can’t watch it.
which site were you using?
Well Kevin i was watching on the website i searched and i have watched episode 18 but the episode 19,20,21 and 22 r not online so these episodes r come in May. Did u know that the Smallville season 9 is coming up?
yeah i cant wait, hopefully lex comes back. all they do is show a lookalike in his place which sucks.
i wonder how he will beat doomsday. in the comics he uses a time machine on him to send him to the end of time. but clark already destroyed that ring so idk how they will do it
I like to watch Supernatural and also Lost, becous the sexy cast lol. BTW found this site on google, searched for some TV Show Plot.
