Smallville … What If?

Posted by Heather Manning On December - 12 - 2011

If you were the writer for the next episode of the next season, what would happen? What does the future look like in Smallville?

I know Smallville ended, but what if it hadn’t?

How would you write the future?

First, I would want to see Clark and Lois say I do. Don’t you?

After that, I think it would be fun to see the next generation of Superman. Bring us the birth of Clark and Lois’ first child. Flash us forward to the future. Bring us to his struggles. Maybe he is torn between being good like his father, but maybe inside there is also a bit of evil in there. A rebellion waiting to get out. See him storm off one day in anger with his father and maybe Lex Luther is right there waiting to bend his ear a little. Maybe see him struggle with falling in love, wanting to tell someone who he is, his father and mother warning him against it, flashing back to their relationship in the early days. Or, who says it has to be a he? They could have a daughter. What about throwing in some sibling rivalry. There could be one born with Clark’s powers and one without superhero stature.

I think that would be a great way to carry it on. Smallville, the generation … whatever they are calling the generation after this one.

How would you write the next season of Smallville if you could?

Smallville – The Ending

Posted by Heather Manning On December - 5 - 2011

So, what did you think of the finale of Smallville?

How many shows have lasted 10 years on TV? Not many when you look at how many shows have been on TV. Smallville was one of those exceptions. One where the viewers completely fell in love and none of us wanted it to end.

I think the last show tied it all up nicely but I still miss it.

We got to see Clark learning to fly, which was a moment we all had been waiting for. Shivers. I got them. How about you? It went so perfectly. I don’t think they could have done it better.

The wedding. It was heartwarming and everything I wished it would be. Lois no longer having to choose between Superman and Clark Kent was awesome too! She had both of the men she loved wrapped up in one beautiful package.

Those were the 2 huge moments for me that I remember.

What were your favorite parts of the last episode?

Do you think it was executed as perfectly as I do?

I miss Superman. I miss Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

WB, can we have them back?

I suppose we can in the form of the complete series on DVD. (I’m smooth aren’t I?)

Smallville – Best Moments Of Season 10

Posted by Heather Manning On November - 27 - 2011

I can’t believe Smallville has been through 10 seasons. I remember when it first started years ago. It was a sad moment when they aired the final episode, though it was an awesome finale. How do you narrow it down to just a few favorite moments in a show that you’ve grown to love over so much time? I don’t know.

Clark’s vows made me, how do you describe, going *deep breath* awwwwww. And then wishing your man would say that kind of thing to you. Did you watch that episode? Took care of Lois’ cold feet right there. Though, how could you have cold feet when your man is Clark Kent? I mean, for real. If you need a refresher, I found a site that has the vows typed up for you to relive. You can head over here to read them.

I’m just going to say that the entire finale was my favorite. Every last moment. It was over. Completely over. Come back Superman. I may have shed some tears. I wikipedia’d a run through so I didn’t forget anything important, let’s relive that finale together.

Tess learns that the planet Apokolips is coming to Earth to destroy humanity. While verifying the threat, Tess discovers that Oliver is under the possession of Darkseid. Desaad, Godfrey, and Granny supply Oliver with a wedding ring made of gold kryptonite to give to Clark, as it will remove his powers, but Chloe discovers the ring in time and keeps Clark from wearing it. Afterward, Clark helps Oliver to remove the Omega symbol and remove Darkseid’s control over him. Lionel kidnaps Tess in an effort to transplant her heart into another Lex clone, but Tess escapes. Darkseid arrives and Lionel trades his soul for Lex’s life. Possessing Lionel, Darkseid confronts Clark, who finally realizes what Jor-El was preparing him for his entire life. Clark accesses his power of flight and vanquishes Darkseid from Lionel’s deceased body. A newly revived Lex kills Tess, but not before Tess uses a neurotoxin to erase all of Lex’s memories. Clark goes to the Fortress of Solitude and receives the suit Martha made for him before flying away to stop Apokolips from destroying Earth. By moving Apokolips away from Earth, Clark brings hope to humanity and breaks their connection to Darkseid. Moving ahead seven years, Lex is now President-elect of the United States, Clark and Lois are still trying to get married, and Clark has fully embraced his destiny as "Superman".

I miss Smallville.

What was your favorite moments in Season 10? Or if you want to share your favorite moments going all the way back. How about the first time we saw Superman fly? So awesome!!

Chuck – The Ring Bearer

Posted by Heather Manning On November - 6 - 2011

Morgan has been avoiding his mother’s house so he wouldn’t have to face Big Mike. Big Mike reveals that he is proud of Morgan’s new role in the company. After spending months out at sea, he has realized that Morgan’s mother is the source of his happiness, and reveals his intention to propose. Morgan hires him, and Big Mike entrusts Morgan with the proposal ring until Morgan judges him "worthy of his mother’s love." How would you have handled this situation? Would you have given Big Mike your blessing?

Do you ever sit and wonder during a show what you would do in a certain situation? This one I did. You really don’t see something like this happening in time we live in. At least not in the USA. Dowries and arranged marriages are gone (that’s a good thing, I think). Asking permission to marry seems to have flown out the window in most cases too. I don’t know why, I think that’s a beautiful thing to do. Neither of my husbands went to my dad and asked for permission to marry me.

What would I have done? After seeing the Big Mike’s intentions were true, I would have given my blessing. I really like that twist, letting Morgan judge him worthy of his mother’s love. Who knows what Big Mike could have been up to and letting Morgan make the decision was pretty cool.

Chuck – Being Replaced

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 30 - 2011

In episode 18, Sarah worries that the CIA is replacing them with Casey’s extremely efficient team, but Chuck considers himself irreplaceable with the Intersect. Have you ever felt like you were in jeopardy of being replaced? Has there ever been a time where you have been made to feel outdated? If so, how did you remedy your situation? Did it end well?

Me? Replaceable? I don’t think so.

Modest, right?

It’s been a very long time since I have ever worried about that. I haven’t worked outside the home since I was pregnant with Katiana, so almost 8 years. Definitely not being replaced as mom. Wife? ~~Pato might debate that.~~ Never.

My last job I had was manager of a jewelry store. I wouldn’t say I was ever worried about being replaced, but I did have to fight to get that position as I had never had managerial experience before and the competition was tough. Then they sold all of the stores in Iowa, I wasn’t so much replaced as booted… with everyone else.

The only thing I can think back to is band in high school. I was 1st chair clarinet for a long time. Then practicing became not so important. I thought, this is my seat. Mine mine mine. Who is going to take it away? Turned out my friends Danielle and Melissa were practicing and were very very good.

Lost my 1st chair.

And I didn’t get it back.

Even with extra practicing.

Learned my lesson on that one.

How about you?

Have you ever been replaced?

I hope not!

Chuck – Chuck’s Proposal

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 23 - 2011

In episode 13, Chuck finally proposes to Sarah in the hospital hallway. She accepts, kneeling with him and kissing him as the scene fades. Was this delightful and epic episode of Chuck everything that you had been waiting for? What was your reaction to Chuck’s quite and successful proposal to Sarah? Please include copy below as well as the attached photo image of the DVD set.

Chuck searched and searched for the perfect way to propose to Sarah and he ended up doing it in the hospital. Who would have known THAT would have been the perfect proposal?

Did you sit there holding your breath, thinking, she has to say yes!

Anything less would have been completely wrong.

I’ll admit it.

I got teary eyed.

One or two might have fallen.

I’m a sap for love.

Completely and totally had tears running and I was sniffing.

It was the perfect moment and completely what I had been waiting for.

How did you react?

And how did your husband/fiancé propose to you?

I remember I was pregnant with Katiana, 6 months. I was sitting at my computer desk, working on something, when he came home from work. He actually came over, knelt down, and put the ring on my finger.

Perfect for us.

Guys, I don’t think the setting matters. Sometimes you try so hard to make it just right when in actuality, it’s just that moment that is always perfect in our minds when we look back.

Chuck – Against All Odds – Am I Evil?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 17 - 2011

In the fourth season finale, Sarah has been shot by the “Norseman” device and only has twelve hours left to live. Chuck turns his back on the CIA and despite all warnings sprints throughout the episode to find Volkoff and the antidote. Have you ever been in a situation that despite all odds and warnings you decided to make a run for it? How did it end up working out?

Have I mentioned I have a horrible memory? I really do. I’m sitting here trying to think back to something that would relate to this.

There’s one thing I can think of. I have this talent to hear things that most people can’t. I blocked it for a long time. Strange things have always happened to me. I wanted to talk to a pastor or someone to make sure that this wasn’t something evil, something against God. I agonized over this decision for quite awhile and finally decided to call a pastor at the church I had been raised at. I just needed someone who knew the scripture to tell me that everything was ok.

They gave me to the worship leader.

He told me I needed a mental evaluation even though I sounded completely sane. He actually sounded shocked when he said that I sounded completely sane.

That didn’t go well.

I knew more scripture regarding this talent I have than he did.

My mom wanted me to talk to the pastor at my sister’s church.

I was like, oh no. No way am I talking to anyone else about this. Someone has already told me I was crazy. Not going there again. Heather, he is really nice. I really like him. If he says that, we’ll just walk out, we’ll never go back.

See, I’ve been hurt before in church and I hadn’t gone for a long time because of it but I really wanted to take my kids to church. I was scared though.

I tried to get out of it even after mom made an appointment with him.

I did NOT want to do this.

She would have been very disappointed in me if I hadn’t gone.

My family completely understands. They’ve seen me through this. My mom believes that I would talk to an angel on our roof when I was 4. My mom believes the visions and messages I got from my grandma when my grandpa was dying. Things like that have happened my whole life. If it happened to a child, how could it be evil?

I went.

Let me tell you, what a sense of relief I had after talking to him. He assured me that I wasn’t any more crazy than anyone else at church. That he feels that there are some people, especially women who are more sensitive to what goes on around us that we can’t always see with our eyes. And he knew the scripture. That’s what was important to me. I wanted someone who actually KNEW God’s word regarding this.

That time it worked out.

I have a church home that I love.

I believe this is the first time I have ever broached this subject completely on my blog, so be gentle with me please. It is really hard to share this with people sometimes. I’ll tell you more about how all of this really unfolded at another time.

The Middle – Crime Fitting The Time

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 4 - 2011

After Axl leaves his dirty smelly socks lying around the house one too many times, Mike punished his son by banning him from playing his basketball team’s final game. Given the Heck legacy on the basketball team, do you think it was the best decision? Have you ever, or had a parent, give the time that didn’t fit the crime? Were you able to get out of it and how?

I do this all the time. Well, I’m getting better at it. I either overdo it or underdo it. Jordan, you missed the bus again? You’re grounded from electronics for 2 weeks. Then I suffer because I have to listen to Mr whiny butt go on and on about how unfair it is.

I can remember times I think my mom overdid it to. Notice I said, I think. Not she overreacted. Most of you know that I love piercings, I always have. When I was younger, my grandma had to talk my mom into letting me get my ears double pierced. That was it, all she wrote, no more holes in my head that I wasn’t born with.

Then I got more.

And more.

I was grounded something like, 2 weeks for disobeying, and a week for each additional hole in my head that wasn’t supposed to be there.

I have 7 in my left ear and 4 in my right.

I was grounded a lot.

Do I think Mike overreacted, yes. Completely. If he would have gone out and broken into a car and stole all the audio, I would think that was a good punishment, dirty socks? Overreacting.

Seriously.

How do you get your kids to put their clothes in the laundry room?
