Smallville On The Cover Of TV Guide!
TV Guide Magazine released their annual Sci-Fi Preview this week, and the issue will feature three different covers, each spotlighting a different popular sci-fi series.

The Smallville cover features Tom Welling and Erica Durance as Clark and Lois, and if you look at the blurb on the cover, you'll see there's at least one new spoiler within. You can see that cover here.

Here are some highlights:

  • The Season 7 premiere airs on September 27, and features the introduction of "another strange visitor from the planet Krypton": Clark's 19 year old cousin, Kara.
  • Kara's spaceship was stuck in suspended animation for 18 years and the dam burst in the Season 6 finale woke her.
  • Watching over Kara is "another step in Clark's journey," creator Al Gough told TV Guide. "He's no longer in child mode. He's given responsibility over someone else."
  • Kara has strength, speed, and X-ray vision... plus she can fly.
  • "He's got to keep her out of trouble and make sure she doesn't use the abilities for the wrong reason," Gough says.
  • Also in danger in Season 7? Lois. "They're still far from their romantic destiny, but you'll sense that they care for each other," Gough says. He says that Lois will become more of "the Lois Lane we know from the Superman mythology" as she continues to develop as a reporter, landing at the Daily Planet.
  • The new character of Grant Gabriel, Lois's Daily Planet editor, will have more than a professional interest in Lois.
  • Armed with the Planet's journalistic credibility, expect Lois to take on the Luthors. "This of course puts her in various stages of danger, much to Clark's chagrin," Gough says. "After all, hell hath no fury like a bald billionaire scorned."
  • The Justice League may show up again, but Gough says that it will not be happening in the first eight or nine episodes of the season, and that they will most likely show up individually, rather than as a group. "And hopefully we can introduce some new members," Gough says.
