If I didn’t get my geek cred completed revoked last time when I admitted I didn’t watch Battlestar or Buffy, I’ll definitely get my nerd license taken away for this full-throated defense of Smallville. But I gotta admit: as a hardcore Superman fan from way back, I am an unabashed fanboy for the show fanboys love to hate.

I’ll leave the individual episode reviews to John Keegan’s excellent Critical Myth column. Instead, I want to take this opportunity to look back at the last eight and a half seasons of the show since tonight’s episode “Pandora” marks the mid-season finale of what has become the Supermanliest of Smallville seasons.


Have you ever seen a single black person in Asgard? Veryily, I say thee, nay. Nevertheless, THR is reporting that Stringer Bell has joined the cast of Marvel’s Thor movie. Idris will play Heimdall, the dude who stands guard at the Asgardian’s rainbow bridge. Maybe they can get Michael Duncan Clarke to play Volstagg the Voluminous.


Rihanna’s Rated R album is out today so here’s one last look at her Russian Roulette video, plus a couple hot pics from the Rated R photo shoot. Plus some, uh, Joe Budden?


I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out how EA’s pricing structure works. My girlfriend and I have been looking for something fun to pass the time away on Xbox Live, and nearly jumped when we saw Monopoly available in the Arcade space. Euphoria turned to dread once we saw the $39.99 price, making it an impulse buy no more.

Electronic Arts is clearly not on the same page. I might have paid $10- $15 (and maybe even $20.00) and thought nothing of it. Forty bucks just seems cruel. Waitaminute, NO online multiplayer? ZERO? The WALMART board game is $15 bucks, folks. FAIL.
