Earlier this week it was reported on TV Guide's news regarding a couple of additions to the characters appearing in season 6 of "Smallville". Thanks to TV Guide, here is the complete article from their current magazine issue (be warned, there are spoilers)...

Sounds good to me. 8)

Clark Kent may be more powerful than a locomotive, but even a Superman can't handle every crisis by himself. Enter Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, the latest DC Comics character to visit Smallville.

Famous for his peerless skill with bow and arrow, Oliver will appear in at least seven episodes this season, which premieres September 28 on the new CW network. "He will start to form the nascent Justice League," says executive producer Al Gough. "He's trying to find like-minded people with special powers and put a more formal structure in place."

As with previous superhero guest stars like the Flash, Clark (Tom Welling) will be initially wary of Green Arrow. "Ultimately Clark will see the value of what he is trying to do," Gough says. "But as he's gotten older, Clark has become more cautious. He will always be there to help out, but he doesn't want to be part of a formalized organization."

Justin Hartley, best known for playing hunky rich boy Fox Crane on NBC's soap Passions, has been cast in the role. Hartley starred in the pilot for an Aquaman series that Gough and his producing partner, Miles Millar, had developed for CW, and when that show wasn't picked up, they quickly offered Hartley the Smallville gig. "What really appealed to us is that he has a great combination of sexiness and humor," Gough says. That'll also appeal to Lois Lane (Erica Durance), who Gough says will take a romantic interest in the emerald archer.

Cupid's arrows will also hit Clark's best friend, Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), and a young Daily Planet coworker by the name of Jimmy Olsen. That's right, Superman's future pal joins the Smallville universe as a recurring guest star. Chloe and Jimmy met off screen a few years ago when they were summer interns at the Planet. "In our first episode back, they reconnect," Gough says. "And so Chloe Sullivan finally gets a boyfriend."

Anybody else watching season 6 ?

As usual the season gets off to a good start with a great first episode albeit a bit predictable with Clark escaping from the Phantom zone within the first 30 mins, this could have been a good chance for some Clark/Zod storylines but they decided to tidy it up pretty quick. Was also hoping for Clark to do some flying. Also loved the scene where CK meets Jimmy Olsen.



It's great to have smallville back. I just hope the writers can give us a fantastic whole season.

It was a good season opener, but I thought they could have done alot more with it. I agree, they didn't necessarily have to wrap the Zod storyline up in one episode (infact i was hoping they ran it for at least 3-4 episodes).

Still, the episode looked great and it's Smallville, so it can't be bad

Anybody see the second episode yet?

Thought it was another great episode, hope smallville can maintain this throughout the whole season. Liked the introduction of the new character, looks like it's gonna be very intersting.

Lana is really annoying me now. :x

Yeh i saw it, i didnt really like it though Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) just annoyed me from the start although the prospect of forming the justice league sounds good.
And the discovery of his superbreath was poor now that johnathan wasnt there to aid him.

Give him time, if you read the top post which sorta gives away a bit of character development but I think he will be quite a good character, perhaps the flash will come back too.

It's wierd seeing Justin Hartley playing green arrow as he was aquaman in the aquaman pilot and everytime I saw him I was thinking aquaman.
