What with "Desperate Housewives" and "The Office" already shutting down production because of the WGA Strike, I'm sure some of you are wondering what will happen with Smallville and the fate of Season 7. Now, be warned: THIS THREAD MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR EPISODES ALREADY AIRED! Any spoilers for future episodes should be put in spoiler tags!
The showrunners, and creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar released a press statement answering a lot of questions about what will happen to Smallville if this strike continues. In this statement, they say that 15 episodes (total) were written and stock-piled before the strike started on Monday (11/5/07). This means that there are still 9 episodes left. Because the creative staff realized the possiblity of this strike lasting months, they wrote in cliffhangers to 7.15 which will allow this episode to serve as a season finale.
For those of you who are curious as to what episodes we do have left, here's a list of episode titles and brief tidbits about the episodes that have spoilers out so far. Spoilers are ahead! BEWARE!
Ok, a concern I have is about Michael Rosenbaum and his intentions to leave the show after Season 7. What with this season ending unpredictably early, does this mean Lex will be reduced to a recurring character whenever the show returns for it's eighth season? Or was he contracted for 22 episodes, thus meaning that he has 7 episodes after 7.15 to film because he's under contract? Hopefully he's convinced to come back as a regular for Season 8 so they can end things appropriately.
Sooo...that's all.
What's the purpose of this thread, you ask? To post news, information, spoilers about Smallville while it goes through this period of time with the writers on strike. It's also meant for discussion about what will happen and how the strike will affect the show AND to answer any questions or doubts about it all. So make with the talky?
