Justin Hartley, known on the show as both Oliver Queen and the “Green Arrow”, will be back as a regular character in season 8.
Given the departures of Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk, this is certainly good news for Smallville fans.

Superhero Profiles has brought us a few more details about the season 7 DVD, coming September 9. In particular, they list some of the extra features included with the DVD, such as:
- A Supergirl documentary
- “Jimmy on Jimmy” featurette
- Smallville Legends Mobisodes Gallery
- A comic book
- Unaired scenes
- Cast & creator commentaries
Sounds like it’ll be a nice set! For $60-80, I would hope so. 
Who will Clark’s next villain be?

BuddyTV has a nice article that looks at the problem of villains in Smallville. Now that Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) is leaving the show, there is a big opening for the role of “primary villain”.
There is some talk of having Doomsday fill that gap, but that seems unlikely. There are also reports that a “sexy female villain” will arrive this season. Maybe the two of them combined could work out well.
Either way, it seems likely that we’ll miss Lex more than we realize…

According to TVShowsOnDVD, the DVD and Blu-ray packages of Smallville’s recently completely seventh season will be available on September 9. Both sets will include all 20 episodes, including the Supergirl-focused “mobisodes”.
The six-disc DVD set will sell for $59.98, while the three-disc Blu-ray set will sell for $79.98.
Supergirl leaves Smallville
Published May 20, 2008 Cast 0 CommentsTags: chloe, laura vandervoort, supergirl
In a rather quiet move, Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl) announced that she’ll no longer be a regular on the show. She’s “sure they’ll bring me back for one or two” episodes this season. That’s at least a little good news, since her character is currently trapped in the otherworldly prison.
The loss of Supergirl is just another in a seriess of shake-ups for this season. At least Chloe is coming back.
Recap of “Arctic”, the season seven finale

TV Squad has written up a nice recap of the season finale, “Arctic”. I won’t say much here, in case it’s still sitting on your DVR.
Long story short, it was good but compressed. It easily could have been (and probably should have been) two espisodes. The Lex and Lana storylines were wrapped up pretty well, since neither of them will be back full-time next season.
All in all, it was a decent episode to end the season.
Allison Mack returning to Smallville

After losing a few big stars this season, things looked pretty bleak. It also appeared that Allison Mack (aka Chloe) might not return, either. Fortunately, that idea can be put to rest as she has signed a deal to come back for Smallville’s 8th season.
As BuddyTV suggests, her agent probably scored a good deal for her, since they had the leverage gained when Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) and Kristin Kreuk (Lana) left this season.
