Obviously
an undertaking such as KryptonSite takes up a lot of bandwidth, and that
costs money. Beyond that, though, your webmaster Craig is still barely
employed. How can you help? Ordering through any of the Amazon.com links
always helps, but you can also donate to the site via PayPal! The links
to do so are just below. Thanks!! Any help is appreciated. (And if anyone
out there is interested in a web content/creative/television-obsessed
type guy, please
let me know!)

and Miles Millar and pilot director David Nutter. What are you waiting
for? Order
a copy!

Superman
For All Seasons
Smallville explores the story of
a young Clark Kent and his place in the world on television. In the comics,
this was very well illustrated in Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's "Superman For
All Seasons." This has been labeled a "must read" by many fans and also
listed as the favorite Superman story of recent years by many. Check it
out! Jeph Loeb will be writing and producing for Smallville's second season
so this might be an indicator of what's to come for next year.

RUMOR:
More Canada-Only Smallville DVDs On The Way?
While
we have heard no official confirmation, it is very likely that Warner
Home Video in Canada might be doing some more 2-episode Smallville
DVDs following the success of the Canada-only release of the
pilot and "Metamorphosis."
Fans
in the U.S. (and of course, in Canada) can, however, order the original
DVD through Videoflicks.com.
We'll keep you updated when/if we hear of more details. Even at
2 episodes per DVD it would still be a great treat.

KryptonSite
Reaches 4 Million Hits; Mentioned In Australian TV Week
The July 27-August 2 edition of the Australian TV Week
(featuring Ross and Rachel of Friends on the cover) included an
article mentioning KryptonSite and even including a screen grab
of this very page!
The
article talks about the fan following online for the show, and such
sites as the WB's
official site and James Scott's Tom
Welling: Superstar site. Of KryptonSite, they said "There
you'll find heaps of Smallville news and a great community
section with a chat room and a message board. There's also a detailed
'spoiler' section for those who can't wait to see what happens next!"
In
other site news, KryptonSite has finally hit the 4 million hits
mark! Thanks to everyone as always who have supported the site,
and if you ever have an ideas on how to make it even better, please
let us know. Also, if any fans down in Australia have that TV
Week and could possibly share a copy, it would be appreciated!
Now when oh when will Entertainment Weekly or Wizard notice
us?

assuming it's got images from the show, so if anybody orders
one (you can help support KryptonSite while you're at it), let
us know what you think! It's listed as "usually ships in 3

Welling,
Kreuk, & Rosenbaum Go MAD
In
response to a recent MAD Magazine featuring "Smellville"
on its cover, Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, and Kristin
Kreuk decided to have a little bit of fun and take a photo of
themselves re-enacting the cover image.
You
can see one of the two photos they sent to MAD on your right.
For a look at the entire MAD blurb, including another photo

KryptonSite Awards: And The Winners Are...
Here
at KryptonSite we set up the 2002 KryptonSite Awards is honor
and recognize the cast and crew of Smallville for jobs well done.
Fans
were able to vote for the past two months, and the wait is finally
over. The most-voted-for subject was of course Best Actor (2,159
participated), and the least-voted-for subject was Best Director
(754). So why not take a look at the folks and episodes who won
this year's Awards. Thanks again to everyone who participated!
Best Actor: Michael Rosenbaum
|
What
more can we say? The fans love their "Sexy Lexy,"
and it appears that Michael Rosenbaum's portayal of
the character is worthy of recognition.
Of
the eight actors from Smallville, and despite very
strong showings for many of his cast mates, Michael went home
with 43% of the vote. We don't know yet if those are
just Inquisitor readers that Lex bought off. Kidding, Michael!
Congratulations on the win!
|
Best Guest Star: John
Glover
|
Among
fans, he's the Magnificent something or other. But no one
can deny that John Glover can make even the worst Smallville
episodes worthwhile.
Let's
hope he survives the falling pillar so we can have more Lionel
next season. Glover walks away with 1,092 votes, or 55%.
One
might argue that Glover is practically a regular on the series,
so for those of you who were wondering who came in at #2,
it was Shawn Ashmore (Eric from "Leech"),
who had 17%.
|
Best Episode: "Nicodemus"
|
This
one won by only ten votes, proving that fans of Kristin
Kreuk's body double beat out the fans of an episode with
a tornado.
Of
course, the excellent writing of the episode, and great performances
by the cast regulars and the guests may have also had something
to do with it. And hey, any episode where Jonathan Kent listens
to the theme song to The Dukes of Hazzard is okay around
these parts.
The
story from "Nicodemus" is credited to Greg
Walker, the teleplay was by Michael Green. James Marshall
directed the episode.
|
Best Writers: Al Gough
& Miles Millar
|
The
creators of Smallville and writers of such episodes
as the pilot, "Metamorphosis," and "Tempest,"
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, landed at the #1 spot
with over 51% of the vote. It should come as no surprise
that this dynamic duo will be back next season.
Congratulations
are also in order for second-place winner Mark Verheiden
("Rogue," "X-Ray"), who received
21% of the vote.
|
Best Director: Greg Beeman
|
Greg
Beeman ("Hothead," "Tempest") was
picked as Best Director for the 2001-2002 season of Smallville
-- most likely because the episodes showed his incredible
talent at working episodes around special effects. Whether
it's fiery scenes in "Hothead" or tornados in "Tempest,"
Beeman came through and made sure it all looked great.
Beeman
had 27% of the vote, beating out James Marshall ("Nicodemus,"
"Crush") by only 8 votes!
|
The Lewis And Laura Lang Award For Best Death Scene:
Lewis & Laura Lang
|
Who
else could die and still have their daughter talking about
them fifteen years later on such a constant basis that we
just want to strangle her?
Fans
(32% of them) thought Lewis and Laura Lang had
the best demise on Smallville. Or, maybe they just
voted them in with hopes that Lana will finally get over it.
|
Grossest Scene: Jodi
And The Deer
|
When
Bambi's mother died you wanted to cry. When Jodi eats the
deer, you just want to hurl.
We'll
spare you a screen capture of this scene from "Craving."
This
one was another close race -- "Bugboy molting" came
at a very close (only 5 votes!) second place.
|
Worst Episode: "Craving"
|
Apparently
the "fat sucking vampire" thing didn't go over well
with fans.
Even
though "Craving" had some great moments (such
as the introduction of Joe Morton as Dr. Hamilton), the meteor
diet episode just wasn't happening. 496 voters, or 33%,
all seemed to agree.
|
Best Special Effect: "Bullet
Time"
|
The
Matrix-style slow motion effect seen in many episodes like
"Hourglass" and "Zero" seemed
to get the best response from fans, even beating out the meteor
shower!
"Bullet
Time" ended up with 35% of the vote. Congratulations
to the special effects crew of Smallville for a job
well done.
|
Best Song: "Save
Me" by Remy Zero
|
Not
only was this song performed in the episode "Tempest,"
but Remy Zero's "Save Me" is also featured
at the start of every episode of Smallville during the opening
credits.
"Save
Me" got 26% of the vote, beating Lifehouse's "Everything"
by 38 votes.
You
can order Remy Zero's CD by clicking
here.
|
Best Line: Lex Luthor
in "Leech"
|
Boo--
err, Victoria Hardwick's luck has run out. She tried to con
Lex Luthor, but of course, it turned out that he instead ended
up conning her, in a scene that brought out this line:
"You
call sleeping with me business? Tsk. I hate to think what
that makes you."
40%
of voters picked this one, proving that it's either true that
Lex gets the best lines, or people really just wanted to hear
someone say something like that to the brainless Victoria.
After that, Kelly Brook and her bad-Austin Powers-accent father
were never seen again.
|
Best Superman Reference: "Stuff
of Legends"
|
In
the episode "Hug," written by Doris Egan,
Lex Luthor says the following line about his future with Clark:
"Our
friendship will be the stuff of legends."
Well,
it'll at least be the subject of comics, movies, and slash
fanfiction, as it has been for over sixty years (except for
the slash part). Either way, this one took a whopping 44%
of the vote.
|
The Whitney Fordman Award For Best Auto Mishap:
Lex And Clark On The Bridge
|
Poor
Whitney. He gets booted off the show, his car crashes every
other episode, and he still doesn't even win the award that's
named after him.
Rather,
40% of the fans thought Lex driving into Clark and
off the bridge in the Smallville pilot got the top
spot. Who's going to argue with that? Sorry, bro.
|
Most
Underrated Character: Pete
Ross
|
The
poor guy is supposed to be Clark Kent's best friend, but you'd
never know from watching the show. Clark is always much more
interested in fawning over Lana or hanging out with Lex.
But
we, of course, know that Pete Ross is, can be, and
will so much more. Sam Jones III does a great job playing
the character, and we hear the second season will bring big,
good things for Pete. 46% of those who voted can't
be wrong.

Smallville
Gets Two Emmy Nominations
This
year's Emmy Award nominees have been announced, and while sadly
Smallville didn't have nominations in acting, writing, or
directing categories, the show did get two nominations -- one for
special effects, one for sound.
Smallville's
pilot was nominated for Sound Edting for a Series. Also nominated
in that cetegory were episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,
Enterprise, ER, and Third Watch.
The
Pilot was also nominated for Special Visual Effects for a Series,
up against two episodes of Enterprise and two episodes
of Stargate: SG-1.
Best
of luck to Smallville's sound and visual people. The Emmys
should be broadcast in September, and the winners of these categories
will be announced around that time.
And
if you think it's all a crock, well, there's still the KryptonSite
Awards (keep reading this very page for more!)

Allison
Mack Talks Smallville
Several
reporters managed to catch up with Allison Mack (Chloe) at
the WB's TCA Press Tour Party on Saturday night (including us here
at KryptonSite, who promptly accidentally deleted over the recording!
:-( )
Among
the folks who caught up with her were the Los Angeles WB station
KTLA (a screen cap can be seen to your right, courtesy of the excellent
Allison/Chloe resource Girl
Friday). Scifi.com
also managed to talk to Allison, and she offered some insight to
her character and where she'd like to see Chloe go.
"I
want to see them go to Metropolis," Allison said. "That's
where Chloe's from, and that's Chloe's hometown, and that's ...
her natural ... habitat. ... I have suggested it to them several
times, so hopefully, we'll see if they listen to me." To read
the rest of what Allison had to say to Scifi, click

Thanks
to everyone who passed this news along, and to LJC at Girl
Friday for the screencap.
