how-weak.....Kara-is-the-best-thing-that-happend-to-Smallville...forget-Lana-or-Chloe-Supergirl-is-Super-fine-perfect...simply-perfect..Laura-LOve-YOU!!!!!

GREAT KARA/SUPERGIRL, She's Damn Hot and can kick ass fly, something we've all been waiting Clark to do normally even though we know how a bit exaggerated the series will become unless they bring in bigger villains and stuff, really would be hilarious to watch supes vs Doomsday, like the new 2007 movie (animated movie so ppl dont get confused in here)... and by the way i kind of thought kara was going to be a wonderman or wondergirl because of the bracelet even though she only where wore one traditional wonderwoman/wondergirl bracelet on her, well to finish writing GREAT supergirl/Kara i just know shes going to be EXCELLENT.

hello lozers lana is pronouced dead oesnt mean shes dead chloe is not dead havent u read ANY SPOILERS!!! and supergirl is gonna liek chloes man sad... louis is gonna end up with clark eventually is enedible dont u kno the legend it would be smart to kill off lana now because she is causing disrupt/going between clark and louis but no affence i do love lana as a charactor i think she is beautiful but her time is up NOW THATS FACTS!!!

People listen to me for some who don't know yet. Lana is Dead and Chloe is alive!
I so tired of people thinking Lana is alive and Chloe died. LANA GOT BLOWN UP!! PAY ATTENTION!!

I can't wait. I love Laura Vandervoort from watching Instant Star!

Lana is alive look at a classic superman movie shes alive. Chloe power is probably a sacrifice type thing. Bad power.

umm. . . i just want to know about Lana is she really dead? . . . and i would also like a love intrest for Clark he focuses too much on Lana and all the other girlfriends he has had have died or w.e. I just want someone for him because obviously he isnt getting with Lois and who knows if Lana is alive and frankly Chloe is out of the question he just doesn't like her.

I think the show is great and a new face will make it even better. Keep up the good work.Big fan.

You obviously have not been watching Smallville lately. The past two seasons have been the show's strongest. The storylines are so much more interesting...having gotten away from the silly high school stuff from seasons 1-4. If it weren't for Smallville, the CW would be done.

I really like her!!! I think she will do great:)

she's a great actor,
especially in instant star !

What about Clark and Lex?
I feel for Welling and Rosenbaum, this show started out with such promise and now it's a sad vapid mess, which needs less characters not more. It just shows that TPTB don't have an actual coherent story to tell.
Cancel it, it's cruel to let it limp on like this.

Yes, very pretty.

Now, can this show get back to being about Clark and Lex? Honestly, the canvas was crammed full of 3 females already (and since the show is too cowardly to actually kill or write off any of them), I can't think of one single reason we needed another character to marginalize Clark.

Oh wait, I forgot, Spin-off's! Silly me *rollseyes*
