Smallville Update-Is there hope?

So I was doing my morning surfing and I came across this quote at Superman Homepage:

"So as most of you know, I'm writing an episode of Smallville this year. I've already begun working with the Smallville executive producers and head writers - Todd, Darren, Kelly and Brian - and some of the staff - Bryan, Turi, Al and Caroline. They all rock. They've been super nice, super genuine people and they've welcomed me into their clubhouse with open arms. Working on Smallville has been some of the most fun I've ever had in my career.

I can tell you with confidence, the season they have planned is easily the most ambitious to date. There are so many twists and turns. And episode 10. Episode 10 is INSANE. My episode is now 11, so it's going to be a hard act to follow, but I'll give it my all. I have to say too, that if they pull off where they're taking Doomsday...I mean, I didn't understand where they were going when they announced that Doomsday had a human alter ego. But it's freaking cool. As hell. And fans of the comics are going to be blown away when everything is actually revealed. It's really pretty spectacular.

Also, the Legion? They are absolutely, 100% on point with the Legionnaires and their relationship with Clark Kent. I can say you'll see an appearance by one of the Legion's better known enemies, but I can't reveal who just yet. More information to come when I can talk about it."

This quote is from Geoff Johns. Now if you are not familiar with Mr. Johns then you are really missing out on one of the greatest comic book writers of our generation. I seriously recommend picking up any title DC solicits with the name Johns on it. Even if you've never picked up a comic book before go out to your local comic book store, mine's The Laughing Ogre, and ask for a Geoff Johns title, you will not be disappointed.

Anywhoo back to the quote, if you read my entry about Smallville last week you knew that I had some apprehensive feelings about Season 8, the biggest being Doomsday and how they were going to handle him and the human host. Well this quote from Mr. Johns really does help settle my fears, if he says it's going to be "freaking cool" then I am willing to let go of my apprehensive feelings and trust Mr. Johns. I also had read that he was writing an episode this season and that it was going to be about the Legion coming to Smallville, which is a huge part of the Superman mythos. This episode could be just as huge as the Justice League episode.

I am also very curious about his comments on episode 10, that it will be "INSANE" and that his episode follows that "INSANE" episode. All I can say is if he is that pumped about that stretch of episodes then I am really pumped.

Well that's about it for this morning, I've got some personal stuff to take care of this morning. As always I'll let Homer take us out: "When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!"

Right on Homer!
