The hair. The wardrobe

I think he might kill me this year

**happy mom** · 08-27-2009, 12:10 AM

I noticed the hair and wardrobe...bit of change for Clark.

Change can be a good thing.

In case some people don't know yet: Smallville S8 is out on DVD, as of August 25th.

A bit of .. sexy change

For s8 out. 29 more days until the s9 premiere

But whose counting

**happy mom** · 08-28-2009, 12:14 AM

Indeed!

After a summer hiatus, we welcome it.

It's going to be great, watching new episodes.

I'm guessing there will be a heads up posted in this thread, closer to the date, to remind everyone to tune in to the premiere.

And to think we get to end the week with Tom and Co. What a hot way to jump start the weekend

**happy mom** · 08-30-2009, 12:21 AM

For the double post, but .. a new TW interview!! Granted it's from July when he was at Comic Con but he actually talked to the press!

TV Guide Magazine | Smallville | Tom Welling Feels Super About Season 9

Some non spoiler bits:

Quote:

You’ve added producing duties this year. How does that change your role on the show?

When I started Smallville obviously I hadn’t done much acting. My goal was to learn everything I could. And along that road I just needed to learn everything about everything and then use that to make the show better.… There’s no bitterness or dark side when I say this, but I think I’ve been contributing as a producer for more than a few years. [Welling has directed several episodes of the series.] The title is the title, nothing changes for us in production. I don’t know if much has changed as what I bring to the table, but I do know that now I have [more] access… I’ve always tried to be open and collaborative and make the show better. I guess in the end one thing that has really changed is that there’s a lot more paperwork that comes to me! Now I literally have a stack of memos like this at the end of every day.

How did you come to the decision to sign on for Season 9, and potentially Season 10?

Well when they brought it up, the first thing I said was, ‘What’s the story gonna be?’ And no one was really sure [at that point], and that’s why it took a little while to figure out, because I really didn’t want to engage in anything until I knew what I was gonna get myself into. So that took a lot of discussion and meetings between myself and [Warner Bros. Television president] Peter Roth and [executive producers] Kelly [Souders] and Brian [Peterson] about what next season was going to be. Once that took its form then the decision wasn’t so difficult. We have a great group, and I love everybody that’s a part of it. Their ideas made sense to me. What I don’t want to do, and what nobody ever wants for the show they’re on, is for it to dwindle out and lose its credibility. And I think this season, if anything, we’ve re-energized it.

I knew there was a reason why I absolutely love him. He is just such a amazing and insightful, and it's so clear that after nine years how much he loves this show and only wants the best of it.

for the still.

Tom talked to the press at CC? Awesome!

He's such a professional and so knowledgable about the show and what goes on behind the scenes...that's dedication. I really enjoyed reading that.

Thanks so much, Lia, for posting the latest Tom news for us.

Pemberley21 · 09-10-2009, 02:42 PM

Isn't that still to die for Szilvia? I was talking to another SV fan and we were both saying that TW's hotness is going to kill us even before the show starts airing again

What a treat, huh? Tom's interview was just wonderful. It is great to hear his thoughts and once again shows us why we are so lucky to have him as our Clark Kent.

Oooh you are very welcome, Szilvia. I love spreading the Tom love around

**happy mom** · 09-15-2009, 12:07 AM

New thread.
