My geek card might get pulled for this but I almost forgot "Smallville" was returning for an eighth season tonight. I did, however, remember that "Supernatural" was back."Smallville" returns minus some cast members like the excellent Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) who are likely to return in some form later because his disappearance after the secret-revealing conflict in last year's season finale has to be explained somehow.
The show also gains new creative direction who have said they will focus more on Clark Kent and Lois Lane's (Tom welling and Erica Durance) budding relationship at the Daily Planet newspaper.
I am compelled to watch despite the fact I believe "Smallville" has pushed its story almost as far as it can go. I will check out the season premiere tonight (Justice League!) and I sincerely hope it gives me some sign of a new direction. It makes the TIVO season pass, but barely.
The reason I need more TIVO space is because I am adding "Supernatural." For those of you who caught the last season you know what I mean. Escaping from Hell, demon dogs, imbecile ghost hunters and some pretty scary episodes. I had to play catch up on this and I'm looking forward to where the story goes next.
Both shows are on the CW tonight starting at 8 ... More later.
