Smallville (7 seasons)

April 29, 2008

Everybody must know this series. It is about Supeman’s life during teenager. The series consists of 7 season and season 8 is coming soon

Smallville revolves around a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) learning about his powers and how to manage them. He’s joined by his girlfriend, Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) and friends, Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), Lois Lane (Erica Durance) and Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore) as well as his cousin, Kara (Laura Vandervoort) and former friend, Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). Providing support is Lionel Luthor (John Glover). Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The Smallville series was developed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

Before the legend….before the icon… there was a teenager named Clark Kent.

Over the years, many tales have been told about Superman, but never has a tale featured the superhero as a teenager. Having the power to rule the world, what made Clark Kent chose good over evil?

When a meteor strikes Smallville, a young boy is left behind (along with his spaceship) and is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent. Raised as a good, wholesome mid-western boy, Clark soon realizes his otherworldly powers are only just starting to emerge. Caught between using his powers to defeat meteorite-infected bad guys and dealing with normal, teenage issues — sometimes simultaneously, life on the Kent farm is never dull.

We are also introduced to a young, pre-evil Lex Luthor. Who would have ever thought that Lex and Clark were the best of friends before the days of the cape-donning superhero emerged?

The love of Clark’s life is Lana Lang, whose parents were killed in the meteor crash. Currently on Smallville, Clark and Lana finally became a couple, but due to the fact that Clark refused to tell Lana the truth about his powers, he and Lana broke things off and it looks like Lex and Lana will be the next big couple.

Other featured characters include Chloe Sullivan — a noisy reporter and best friend to Clark. She is currently the only friend who is aware of Clark’s powers. Lois Lane (Chloe’s cousin) recently entered the canvas as the future love of Clark’s life.

As Clark gets through his teenage years, he constantly faces challenges which not only strengthens his powers, but also makes him realize he must make sacrifices in order to the serve the greater good.

Tin man Miniseries (3 episodes)

April 28, 2008

This is a miniseries that reimagining Wizard of Oz.

Zooey Deschanel stars as DG, the main character who finds herself trapped in a place called the O.Z. or the Outer Zone. There she searches for her parents and is joined in her travels by Glitch, a man who has had half of his brain taken away because of something he knew, Raw, a member of a species called the “viewers” who read emotions and heal, and Cain – a “Tin Man” (which was the name of the police force in the O.Z.

Cut to the O.Z. (the Outer Zone – an alternate world existing alongside ours), the evil Azkadellia, queen of the OZ, longs after more power. In a “see-ers” vision she see’s DG as a threat as sends some longcoats after here. They travel to DG’s world in a storm portal (tornado), However DG and her parents escape into the storm portal before the longcoats can get them.
From there DG gets captured by “lawn gnomes” and partners up with Glitch (the scarecrown) to escape. Along her travels she finds an ex-tinman (a ex-cop. called tin-men) and Raw (the cowardly lion) who is also a “see-er”.
DG doesn’t know what she is doing in the OZ, but soon finds out that her parents were actually robots employed by her real mother to protect her and prepare her for her return to the OZ. She is given a message and some sort of magical tattoo to help her find her way to finding her real mother.
On the next leg of the journey, DG and her ragtag troupe head to central city to seek out the wisdom of the Mystic Man (the wizard of oz) to help in finding her mother. In the Tin Man series, however, the mystic man is clearly out of his mind high on Azkadellia vapors which give a euphoric blissful state. DG’s tattoo reminds the Mystic Man of DG’s mom and gives them directions on where to find her mother. We also find the DG is somehow a “Key” to restoring balance to the OZ.
DG heads off to the Island of the North ( or ice mountain ) and finds her old family home encased in ice. Using her magical tattoo DG gains access into the mansion. DG finds out that her mother was a queen, Glitch was the queens advisor, and Azkadellia is her evil twin sister. They also find out that the Emerald of the Eclipse is the only way to stop Azkadellia and she must find it.
Azkaellia and her henchmen track DG with the forced help of a see-er and attack DG and her party at the mansion. At the end of Episode 1, we are left with the tin man being shot blowing him through a window and down a huge drop off into the icy waters below the mansion. DG and the rest of her troupe are captured by Azkadellia.
