This could be the episode when Clark/Kal-El finally meets his real father Jor-El! The episode summary for “Kandor” spoils that Jor-El will go back to Smallville to search for his son.

JOR-EL APPEARS IN SMALLVILLE — Jor-El (guest star Julian Sands) mysteriously arrives at the Kent farm searching for his son, Kal-El, but meets Chloe (Allison Mack) instead.  Convinced the Blur is Jor-El, Zod (Callum Blue) enlists Tess’ (Cassidy Freeman) help in finding him to force him to reveal the secret to his powers.  Clark (Tom Welling) realizes Jor-El is alive and on Earth and races to find him before Zod does. Erica Durance and Justin Hartley also star.  Jeannot Szwarc directed the episode written by Turi Meyer & Al Septien

So judging from this small snippet of spoiler, Jor-El had already sent Kal-El to earth, and so by this time Krypton was already destroyed. It would be great to have father and son meet face-to-face. I think a meeting like that would help Clark embrace his true identity and accept what his father has been teaching him all along.

I wonder what kind of person Jor-El is portrayed. We’ve become so familiar with his voice in the Fortress and somehow know him to be a hard man, and Clark has only reluctantly submitted/obeyed his father because of his destiny, and yet there really is no father-son affection between them. Clark calls him “Jor-El” instead of Dad so that tells you a lot about Clark’s feeling toward his bio-father.

I hope this episode improves that relationship a little bit.

• Instead of Smallville, the Choice TV show for Action Adventure went to Heroes.
• Instead of Kristin Kreuk, the Choice TV Actress for Action/Adventure was Hayden Panettiere of “Heroes”.
• Instead of Michael Rosenbaum, Choice TV Villain went to Ed Westwick of “Gossip Girls”.

Now what’s weird was there was no winner announced for Choice TV Actor for Action/Adventure in which Tom Welling was nominated.

This doesn’t bode very well for Smallville, which is on its last season this year.

POLL:

Just Jared has the list of winners.

• In season 8, we get to explore the mythology and origin behind Green Arrow
• Oliver is going to question his motives for being a hero
• Clark starts to embrace his destiny a little bit more

Read the complete interview here, and hat tip to spoiler-TV.

The Lana Lang of television admitted that Smallville is the longest relationship she has had in the past 7 years. “And it has now pretty much ended.” As a way to seal the freedom, Kristin Kreuk cut off ALL her hair!

I (Kristin) just went in there on my own and Sarah (she is the key hairstylist on Smallville, and is freakin rad) tied it in a ponytail and sawed the sucker off…

The cut looks great on Kristin, but I’m surprised to find her very thin and haggard-looking in this photo. She looked different at the Comic Con last week. Maybe it’s the stress of filming a new movie.

She landed the title role for the movie adaptation of the video game “Street Fighter 4: The Legend of Chun-Li“. The film is still in productions and very few pictures have appeared… up until now…

The StreetFightermovie.net blog is up and running with pictures of the cast, some behind-the-scenes and insider look at the movie. Movieweb also has set photos of Kristin Kreuk and the other cast. And then of course, there are the YouTube images –

Just to clarify, Kristin will still appear in Smallville, in a few episodes as a guest star. She just won’t become a series regular anymore.

Despite the departure of Smallville creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar, the remaining producers of the show says that they’re staying true to the vision laid out by Miles and Gough. “Luckily [Al and Miles'] voices are still talking to us in our heads as we’re breaking stories,” producer Kelly Souders said. “Their visions come to us all the time, so I think they did a great job of preparing us for this day.”

Smallville season 8 will come back in September on its regular Thursday 8pm schedule at the CW.
