I'm disappointed that more of the cast aren't involved in the commentaries. Maybe in Season 9, huh?

But I do want to listen to those two.

And congrats to Tom on that award win!

I've added the new thread to the board guide

I'm happy for Tom that he won the award, but disappointed that Allison didn't win. Then again, this is the Teen Choice Awards and somehow, Hannah Montana screams more "teen" to me than Smallville. Which isn't a bad thing.

Yay for commentary!

Thanks for the dvd news. I bet CF will be a blast on commentary.

Lynn thanks, completely forgot about that

I'm also a bit letdown in the cast commentary selection/choices but it's OK.

What's with the lack of blooper reel? That's the real shame

It really does!

They seem like such a fun cast, and we haven't had bloopers in ages.

Definitely! Couldn't agree more. It should be a law that there need to be bloopers on all released DVDs

Thanks for the commentary info. I would've liked to see more of the cast involved, but oh well, I'm looking forward to hearing them nonetheless.

Too bad about the lack of bloopers, again.

Tom won another TCA! Way to go, Tom. Great to see him still in the running and winning a TCA, even, this many years after the show began.

I wonder what the difference (if any) will be between the Blu Ray DVD extra's and the regular DVD set extra's? Does anyone know?

The new Trailer is up more of season 9 preview ,has it been posted elsewhere here .


Here a the link some Spoilers inside season 9 preview posting link instead of the video itself YouTube - Smallville Season 9 Preview Trailer! - KryptonSite.com

If not being it is preview of the season a promo a few minor spoilers as far as what new villains look like ..

I saw liked the teasers ! "Kneel Before Zod " A line that never gets old .... But I still like Terrance Stamp version over anyone else !

Are these extras any different :

extras include:
Cast/Creator Commentaries
Unaired Scenes
In the Director’s Chair: Behind the Lens and Calling the Shots with Allison Mack
Smallville’s Doomsday: The Making of a Monster


This Blue Ray review of the quality the reviewer didn't like the season as a whole

Blu-ray.com - Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season Blu-ray Review

Similar to its seventh season predecessor, the Blu-ray edition of Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season features a decent 1080p/VC-1 transfer that captures the atmosphere, tone, and intensity of Clark's misadventures in Metropolis. While Barry Donlevy and Glen Winter's at-times unwieldy palette jarringly bounces between sun-drenched amber hues and bleak, steely blues (sometimes within the same scene), each episode benefits from the rich colors and absorbing shadows on display. Moreover, contrast is bright and bold, blacks are well-resolved, and delineation is relatively impressive (particularly considering the intended look of the series). Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the transfer's technical stability and fine detail. Faint artifacting, banding, and source noise disrupt the proceedings at least three times per episode, and texture clarity is all over the place. Some shots are pristine -- facial features are crisp, foreground objects pop, hair and stubble are rendered with care, objects boast natural edges -- but far too many others are soft and spongy. Some scenes blaze by without a hitch, still others look as if they've been filtered, filtered, filtered and, just for good measure, filtered again. Granted, the Blu-ray edition looks substantially better than the DVD version, even better than the series' problematic HD broadcast, but I can't help but feel underwhelmed by the results.

If you were thoroughly satisfied with Smallville's previous Blu-ray releases, The Complete Eighth Season will fulfill your every high definition desire (after all, its digital anomalies aren't as distracting or persistent as those that appear on the season six and seven Blu-ray releases). However, if you were less than thrilled with the previous seasons' transfers, prepare yourself for a fairly comparable experience.

Being a Justice league cartoon fan as well as Super Friends Cartoons. I was happy to read casting for the Wonder Twins this season !!

Details may be considered spoilers but news articles are dated 8/18. The casting has already ended and perhaps episode or episodes shot already !
