'Smallville' Roundup: Ratings, Rosenbaum's Return and Redemption


Today we're dealing with the highs and lows of Smallville DVD, as though this is Clark's flight path. But we also have news on the possibility of Lex's return, which of course could slightly alter our hero's plans. Read on for our roundup.

What's Smallville DVD set Star Michael Rosenbaum Busy With?


Smallville DVD boxset Ratings Drop
Despite the "Upgrade" that Metallo got last week, Smallville Seasons 1-8 DVD boxset's ratings plummeted for the episode. The Hollywood Reporter announced that the recent installment of the series hit a season low that could be "worrisome" for the drama. It's been going downhill in the past few weeks, mainly because of that hiatus it took last month.

But we don't think this trend will continue. The Smallville DVDseries has a lot more to offer in the upcoming episodes, and maybe even the hope of:

Michael Rosenbaum Returning?
Showrunner Brian Peterson told E! Online that they're not giving up on the idea of bringing Lex Luthor back. A huge number of fans would like to have him return to Smallville DVD Set, and when that happens, expect those ratings to soar.

"We have never ever given up hope, but at this point, that's all it is Smallville DVD boxset," Peterson told the publication. "We have a great relationship with Michael; it just hasn't happened yet. I would never give up hope until the final second."

Redemption on the Way
Speaking of those final seconds, Peterson also discussed the finale of Smallville Seasons 1-8 DVD boxset with TV Guide. "This season has been about Clark exploring an identity as Clark Kent and a very separate identity as this cold, saving Kryptonian," he said. "That will propel us into the next season, where he has evolved out of that."

He's also evolved of the "darkest hour" he went through. This time around, it's "Clark's redemption for everything that happened last year in "Doomsday," Peterson said.

But really, what it all boils down to is how he'll finally step out and embrace his role as savior. "There are some members of the Justice League and Justice Society that make cameo appearances. Smallville DVD boxset's really Clark's moment to shine and take the leadership that we saw a glimmer of in "Absolute Justice."
