Smallville Season 8 Trailer

The Smallville season 8 trailer has been released ahead of the show starting again in America on 18th September 2008 for what will probably be its final season.

I was quite surprised by Smallville season 7 on a number of accounts, first of all I was impressed by the fact that the producers actually managed to get 20 episodes made in the year that the writers’ strike meant that most shows had a great many less episodes in them, most of them only managing around half as many episodes, such as was the case with Heroes and Prison Break.

Secondly, season 7 kept up a high standard of writing for most episodes and they to come up with some really stories, especially around Lex given that Michael Rosenbaum will not be returning as a series regular in Smallville season 8.

The Smallville season 8 trailer below is mainly made up of clips from the first episode called ‘Odyssey’ which will pick where the Smallville season 7 finale left off with Lex fulfilling his destiny and protecting the Earth from the “Traveller”!

What do you think to the Smallville season 8 trailer? It looks like the ‘Justice League’ will be back for at least the first episode, hopefully they’ll be involved in an ongoing basis too given Oliver Queen will be a series regular. Has the show gone on too long? Do you think the show will have lost some of its appeal now that Lex Luthor and Lana Lang will not be in Smallville season 8 as regulars? Do you think that this is the final season, will Clark start flying?
