Merlin
Tonight here in the U.S., NBC will be airing the final two episodes of the first series of Merlin.
The show's ratings were so-so here in the U.S. and I wouldn't be surprised if future seasons are seen on outlets like BBC America only. The show itself, though, was something quite good. In many ways, it remnded me of early Smallville... and tonight's season finale is no exception, as you will get a lot of flashbacks to Smallville Season 5.
Merlin is well-cast, charming, and fun. The U.K. has brought us a lot of good TV lately (Doctor Who, Torchwood, the original Life On Mars) and this is definitely no exception.
Talk about tonight's episodes (starting at 7PM!) on the KryptonSite Forum and visit MerlinSite.com for a gallery of Season 2 preview images!
Blogging Supernatural
I've been watching Season 4 of Supernatural to post a DVD review in the next couple days, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with how randomly accessible it is.
In a world where TV gets overly complicated with its concepts, SPN is solid. A lot of the episodes I've seen have been self contained, and there's even a Back to the Future homage - how can you go wrong with that?
Look for my review in a few days. The set itself will be out on September 1, and you can pre-order it on Amazon.com.
Site network trivia, by the way: At least lately, Supernatural is the second-most visited TV subforum on the site. Smallville is first, of course.

Supernatural Season Premiere - Official Description

Flash Forward
One of the genre-related shows premiering this Fall that ABC is very high on is Flash Forward, based on the novel of the same name.
In the TV series, everyone seems to black out for over two minutes - and in that period of time, they witness a "flash forward" to April 2010. The show explores the mysteries of what exactly everyone has seen, and how they get to that point. There's also the mystery of how all of this happened in the first place.
There are many familiar faces within the pilot and even more in the series itself. ABC has done a lot of viral marketing, too, with hopes of this being their next LOST.
Whether or not it will pan out to be a hit remains to be seen; personally speaking, at the moment V looks like a much more accessible, fun mainstream hit. There's also not a lot of activity on the KryptonSite Flash Forward forum thread just yet, but maybe that just means it's not the same kind of audience. That could change when the show actually airs, though.
Either way - while there is no Flash Forward site in the KryptonSite Network - we do have a gallery. Check it out! Several new images have just been added. And if you've got some comments about your expectations for the show, please leave them here.
Myself, I'm not sure if I will be watching beyond the pilot. The Vampire Diaries on The CW will be airing at the exact same time... and while the storytelling on the ABC show might be a bit deeper, TVD itself is a lot of fun. So, we'll see.

Midnight, Mass. to NBC?
Another DC Comics/Vertigo property may be headed to television soon. NBC has started evelopment on a project based on the comic book Midnight, Mass.
The Hollywood Reporter describes Midnight, Mass. as revolving around Adam and Julia Kadmon, a sophisticated, sexy, globe-trotting husband-and-wife team who solve mysteries and crimes of the supernatural.
THR also notes that it is one of the "most heavily pursued of DC Comics' properties" for a television series. Odd considering that most comic book fans would be unfamiliar with the source material, which was created by John Rozum.
Currently there isn't even a Midnight, Mass. Wikipedia page, though with this news, there will surely be one made in the future.
Thoughts? Leave them in the comments here, or talk about it on the KryptonSite forum.

On The Subject Of Blogs And Writing...
Just thought I'd give a shout out here to two people who've really added a lot to the KryptonSite Network of sites.
Otto Berkeley has been writing Heroes reviews for quite a while, and his attention to detail catches things that most don't even catch in multiple viewings! You can find his reviews at http://herosite.net/blog
Cindy Houghton a.k.a. "Triplet" has been KryptonSite's Smallville reviewer for several years now, and in my opinion, she's great at pointing out and giving appreciation for the best parts of the show while still having a critical eye. I personally like that she doesn't take sides on "shipper wars" when writing. If only I could send her Tom Welling as thanks. She can be found at http://www.kryptonsite.com/triplet.htm.
So, if you haven't seen either of their reviews, check them out! Now to find reviewers for V or The Vampire Diaries next year.... anyone interested?
And while I'm calling people out - also some "thanks" to the mods at the K-Site forums. It's a difficult job at times, but they all do their best to keep the peace... and they have to put up with me, which isn't always easy.

KryptonSite Forums Question
I posted something like this back on August 9 but didn't get much response, so I figured a poll might get some better responses.
On the same note, where on the KryptonSite forums do you currently post?
From the original post....So, here's a poll where you can easily say what you want. If you have any other comments or requests, please use the comment feature here on the blog.
Lately we've listed Heroes with the "KryptonSite Television Forums" section, but now that the season is approaching, we've considered moving all of the Heroes sub-forums back onto the main page of the forum.
The question is, would you prefer to have Heroes on the main page of the KryptonSite forum, which would mean a lot more to scroll past, or keep it with the "Television Forums" where V, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and more reside?
And moreso, would you like to see the other forums "popped out" too, even though it would mean a lot more to scroll past on the main page?
Personally, I could go either way on this. It's nice to have Spoilers, Cast, Creative, etc. forums visible on the main page, but at the same time, the new placement can expose people to some of the other forums on KryptonSite - it's not just Smallville.

Superman Co-Creator's Family Given Rights
According to Variety, several of the rights to the Superman character have reverted back to the family of one of the Superman co-creators.
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118007269.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2563
This should not affect Smallville too much - hopefully - as the series will surely be over by 2013, and the story elements that DC no longer has the rights to will hopefully not be affected.
I'll leave my opinions on this matter to myself, so I don't alienate those readers who may disagree with me. What I will say, though, is that it's fortunate that current work-for-hire contracts make it very clear who owns what so situations like these will hopefully not recur in the future.

What Would You Like To See?
In a blatant attempt to drum up some comments for this blog, I want to ask you, the readers, which (if any) comic books you'd like to see made into television series.
So often now, the movies get all the cool stuff - but who wouldn't want to see Y: The Last Man as an ongoing series? Or Nightwing? Teen Titans? Daredevil? Starman? The Legion of Super-Heroes? Justice League? The New Mutants? Wonder Twins? Darkhawk?
So here's your chance to sound off. And yes, I was kind of kidding about the Wonder Twins. And yes, Darkhawk rocks, and nothing you say will make me think otherwise.

DVD Reviews: Green Lantern: First Flight and Superfriends: The Lost Episodes
Just posted some new DVD reviews onto KryptonSite for two recent comics-related releases.
(Perhaps not) surprisingly, I liked the classic stuff better than the new Green Lantern feature.

V Interviews: Morena Baccarin, Scott Peters, Jace Hall, and Jeffrey Bell
Anyone who's visited the KryptonSite Network sites or seen the network's Twitter feed knows I am extremely excited for ABC's new V.
The pilot is excellent, and ABC must be happy with it because they've announced that it will be premiering a few months earlier than expected - on November 3. The timeslot for the show will be Tuesdays at 8PM.
For those of you who may not have caught them the first time, check out VisitorSite.net's V interviews. And PLEASE spread the word about VisitorSite.net - I'd love for it to be a premier destination for fans of the show, much like KryptonSite has been all of these years for Smallville.
Oh, yeah. And it's got Laura Vandervoort in it. You know you loved her as Supergirl. Now see her in something else!

Tom Welling Wins A Teen Choice Award!
So he hasn't been a teen in over a decade... Tom Welling took the top prize for Choice TV Actor - Action/Adventure in this year's Teen Choice Awards.
The awards show airs on FOX Monday night, August 10.
Me, I was hoping for Rosenbaum to win in his category, considering he was nominated for a role he didn't even play last year!

Playing with the KryptonSite home page...
Just changed the home page at KryptonSite.com - the "Click to Enter KryptonSite" is still there, of course, but the "portal" to headlines on other sites is a bit more prevalent.
What do you think? Yea? Nay? Return to the old? Keep trying to find something better?
Also, obviously I don't want people to forget that it's a Smallville site, though I do want people to know there's a lot more out there.
Feel free to leave your comments here, too.
Heroes Forum Question
Got a question I just posted on the KryptonSite Forum....
Lately we've listed Heroes with the "KryptonSite Television Forums" section, but now that the season is approaching, we've considered moving all of the Heroes sub-forums back onto the main page of the forum.
The question is, would you prefer to have Heroes on the main page of the KryptonSite forum, which would mean a lot more to scroll past, or keep it with the "Television Forums" where V, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and more reside?
And moreso, would you like to see the other forums "popped out" too, even though it would mean a lot more to scroll past on the main page?
Personally, I could go either way on this. It's nice to have Spoilers, Cast, Creative, etc. forums visible on the main page, but at the same time, the new placement can expose people to some of the other forums on KryptonSite - it's not just Smallville.

Testing the new blog software...
Hopefully this can be used - at least for now - to post announcements tying in to the shows featured on KryptonSite Network websites.
This is an exciting time as - with the recent announcement that V will be premiering on November 3 and airing on Tuesdays - there will soon be a KryptonSite Network show for every night of the week!
Mondays will give us Heroes at 8PM on NBC. The fourth season will premiere on September 21, 2009.
On Tuesdays, as previously mentioned, V will start on November 3.
Human Target will air on Wednesdays starting in January 2010. The show is based on the DC Comic of the same name.
The Vampire Diaries takes Smallville's old Thursday night slot preceding Supernatural. The show premieres September 10.
Finally, Smallville returns for its NINTH season on September 25!
Thanks as always for visiting the KryptonSite network of sites. In addition to this blog (provided it works out) you can find the KryptonSite Network Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/kryptonsite
