TinselTown Trash

Until recently, I had never seen an episode of Smallville, but with all of my favorite shows “between seasons”, I have been looking for something to watch in the evenings.

While it’s not the best television show I have ever seen, it certainly passes my test. It’s entertaining, it’s funny in parts, and I forget about everything else I should be doing when I watch it. That’s good enough for me.

Well. now, apparently, it’s getting better.

Laura Vandervoort will be playing the part of Kara/Supergirl in what many expect and some hope will be the final season of the series that has explored Clark Kent and his small town origins in rural Kansas as he discovers his powers, his identity, and his grand destiny. Vandervoort has made appearances on several sci-fi/fantasy genre shows such as “The Dresden Files” and “Mutant X,” but the cable series “Instant Star” is what the Canadian 22-year-old is recognized for, though she is what almost all other young actors from “Smallville” were, a newcomer. After all, time and time again Superman has been filled with relative unknowns who spring to life in the roles they land riding the cape of World’s Greatest Hero.

Wow, she’s hot, that’s for sure. I’m going to need some water, using my nifty little water bottle filter that’s for sure. Now I have a good reason to make sure I set the dvr to record Smallville this next season.

It will be interesting to see how they bring her into the story, and how much the show changes having another “super” person.
