Have you seen the new promo for the ninth season of Smallville?  Things look to be getting a bit crazy.  Check it out.  ( Entertainment Weekly had the exclusive for this.  Let's hope this youtube version doesn't get pulled.)  What do you think?
 

Metallo is the main villain? Together with Zod? And Clark dons the S symbol? 
 
I have only one thing to say...
 
Sweet!

Now this looks awesome

This looks awesome!!!

Wow, Clark/Tom Welling looks badass for once O__o

Can't wait. It's one of my favorite shows.

Bring back Zatanna, for i don't feel compelled to tune in based off that promo.

"This looks BADASS. They seem (from the promo) to be more focused on action this season and less drama. Sure a mixture of both is always good but we all know we've been waiting for some consistent action on Smallville. Cant wait. (who's the chick with the sword?) "

Pure awesomeness.

I think I can pin down my problem with Smallville last season and this promo, You can't make Superman dark you can't have Clark even remotely consider him giving up what it is to be human if the Smallville Producers think this is the best take on the character, to make "dark" and  then they really have no grasp on the character in the first place.

words cant describe how awesome that was

Superman's gone dark in the comics before. I could be wrong but I think its easy to see what the play is here. He turns dark, comes close to the edge without actually going over, and eventually comes back to embrace his human side. But that's just my take. "

I have been waiting so long for the new season.

I'm loving the darker side of Smallville now if the only find a way to bring back Alicia Smallville would be great again....lol

i like the villains that they are going to have this season

Awesome!!
I'm glad Chloe is coming into the spotlight again. :) 
 
and I hope they introduce more future-leaguers into the show.

This season actually looks good

Smallville was always my favorite show.This season is going to be awsome.

Same here. "

Wow this looks pretty BA!!

Now we're getting somewhere.

"Dc making its classic mistake making a show dark but if this is the smallvilles last season cant wait  "

I'm planning on watching this show, seems intresting

Stopped watching by the end of the second season....thought about returning to the show, then I found out what happens to Clark's dad....got tired of their stupid interpretation of the series and havent seen it since.
 
Thank god.

What I've never understood is the urge people have to gripe about how something differs from the comic.  I try to go into any comic book movie, tv show, or cartoon with the idea that its simply an elseworlds story.  If you just view it from that perspective then you might be able to just relax and enjoy the show for its merits.

This looks kinda badass
 
Never been big on smallville but i'll check this season out.

I haven't watched very many shows, but I'll tune in and see some more this year.
 
FYI, I noticed today that BestBuy had some previous seasons, I think 1-7, on sale for $20, normally priced at like $46. They were the regular DVD collection, but it's a nice price drop for anyone looking to catch up on old seasons. Season 8 looks to come out this Tuesday according to the advertisement inside this week's Bagirl #1.

Doesn't look TOO bad. Looks better than the last season anyways.

This is going to be the best season ever
