The TV Addict 

Thanks to our inexplicable need to point out actors who remind us of, well other actors, comes our latest separated at birth: Former TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES star Thomas Dekker and current SMALLVILLE guest star David Gallagher, who will next be seen swooping into Metropolis on November 13 playing one-half of “The Wonder Twins.” Thoughts?

7th HEAVEN’s David Gallagher may not be in Glen Oak anymore, but he certainly hasn’t forgotten the lessons of the good Reverend Camden. How else to explain his decision to drop by Metropolis as one half of “The Wonder Twins” (alongside Allison Scagliotti) to help The Blur fight crime in the upcoming November 13 episode of SMALLVILLE? More first look photos of which can be seen after the jump.

After nine seasons of ominous voice-overs, Clark Kent will finally get the opportunity to meet his father in the flesh. On the November 6th episode of SMALLVILLE entitled “Kandor,” Jor-El (played by special guest star Julian Sands) mysteriously arrives at the Kent farm in search of his son, Kal-El, only to meet Chloe instead. More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.

SMALLVILLE star Cassidy Freeman is used to getting recognized, although it may surprise you to learn just who she is used to getting recognized for.

“In her day my mom looked a lot like Cybill Shepherd,” explained Freeman during an interview this week with the TV Addict. “And when I attended THE L WORD farewell party, a producer came up to me and was like, “Hey Clementine’ and I was like ‘that’s not my name!”

Luckily for Freeman, her days of getting mixed up with Cybill Shepherd’s daughter are long behind her. Especially now that the actress has just begun her sophomore SMALLVILLE season playing morally ambiguous (not to mention fan favorite ) Lex Luthor disciple Tess Mercer.

“It’s nice to come back to work and not be the fish out of water that I felt like the first few weeks last season,” explained the actor. “Now I try to make as much fun as [newcomer] Callum Blue as I can.”

SMALLVILLE returns tonight at 8PM on the CW:
Which we only feel the need to remind you thanks to the CW’s super-lacklustre (nonexistent?) marketing campaign for any show that isn’t a reboot of an Aaron Spelling classic or involves vampires. Oh, and no, we’re not just bitter that the network completely ignored our free and sound advertising advice. Okay fine, maybe a little.

It’s a bird.. it’s a plane… it’s not under any circumstances…
… for legal reason super-you-know-who. But that aside, in ever other sense of the word, the ninth season of SMALLVILLE truly marks the ascension of Clark to superhero status. Faster than a speeding bullet, and decked out in a black trench coat that may-or-may-not have been ‘borrowed’ from the set of TORCHWOOD comes Kal-El. Who when he’s not spending time in the fortress of solitude learning “Superhero’ing For Dummies” from his Kryptonian father Jor-El, is saving innocent Metropolis bystanders and of course Lois (who naturally can’t seem to stay out of trouble) complete with his now iconic “S” as a calling card. (Turns out, engraving ‘Red Blue Blur” not only takes way too long, it causes too much damage!)

Call us a super optimist, but the more we see from the new season of SMALLVILLE, the more we’re thinking about jumping back on the bandwagon. How about you?

As the saying goes, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Which is why, in our latest installment of Advertising Anarchy (Our take on how networks might wish to consider promoting some of our favorite new and returning shows this fall), this TV Addict puts aside our animosity toward the CW with regards to their penchant of selling sex to young women (see: campaigns for THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE and MELROSE PLACE) in an effort to give SMALLVILLE fans a break. After all, if anyone deserves a little love, it’s the ridiculously-loyal SMALLVILLE supporters who have spent the better part of nine years helping the CW (formerly the WB) rake in hundreds of millions of dollars sans splashy advertising campaign.

Meet Metallo — or as we like to call him — the only silver lining to the CW failing to pick up the much-buzzed about new series BODY POLITIC. According to TV Guide Magazine, Brian Austin Green plays John Corben, “a new Daily Planet reporter who becomes the comic-book villain Metallo in the aftermath of an accident that finds him mysteriously outfitted with a heart made of kryptonite.” In other-words, it’s the DC Universe’s answer to Iron Man. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
