Is Smallville season ten on the way?

by Mike Moody, posted Jan 11th 2010 8:35AM

smallville absolute justiceThe path is clearing for Smallville to return for a tenth season. CW president Dawn Ostroff recently dropped some positive comments about the show's creative direction and hinted at a renewal.

Speaking to IGN, Ostroff seemed pleased with the show's ratings and optimistic about its chances for another season, but the final decision won't be made until May.

Ostroff also told EW that Smallville producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have yet to pitch the final episode to the network.

"... We haven't even gotten to how we're going to deal with the last episode and whether it's a season finale or series finale. But right now, I think it's just a season finale," she said.

Thanks to a fervent fan base and some exciting stunts (like hiring famed comic book scribe Geoff Johns to pen a few geektastic episodes), Smallville has managed to stay afloat and even thrive while many marquee shows have succumbed to low ratings and poor scheduling.

I wouldn't mind seeing the show continue after this season, especially if it keeps making room for cool guest stars (like Brian Austin Green and Julian Sands) and offering unmistakably geeky events, like February 5's "Absolute Justice" episode.

What do you guys think? Are you excited about "Absolute justice?" Do you like Smallville's new direction? Does it deserve to continue after season nine wraps?

My wife and I really enjoy the show, it's a great idea to keep it going! I really like when they have "inside comments" for the fans (like when Clark said "I don't think I would like to put on a suit and fly for a living"), the stories and special effects are fine and I think they have done a good job on picking the actors. I think the Friday time slot is dumb though, a lot of people do stuff on Friday nights,are they TRYING to kill the show?

I've been a fan since the third season and if they keep up the quality like they have been doing...I say "Hellz yeah!" to another season.

My issue is that the start of Season 8 was good, as it was the final season. Then when it was announced it has picked up for 9, the second half of Season 8 lost all momentum and was incredibly bad.
So far Season 9 has been great, and I'm worried the same thing will happen again.

I have to admit I've kind of gotten a renewed appreciation for Smallville as of late. I watched the end of last season and caught up on the current season during the holidays and I'm really into the show again.

It's cheesy and fun. Plus, without the friggin' Lana/Clark angst, it's actually watchable now. So I say, if they still have ideas and they can keep the same main cast, go for it.
