Earth's greatest hope! Tom Welling in SMALLVILLE. Image: WARNER BROTHERS

Tom Welling's admirable ten season stint as the Superman-to-be Clark Kent in the very popular CW network series SMALLVILLE comes to a close with a final season that will surely keep viewers glued to their seats packed full of exciting dramatic incident, action and iconic legends to be realised-many elements of which are more firmly rooted in the DC comics universe/series than ever before, but re-imagined with a modern take. Showing in the UK on the E4 channel from tomorrow evening (7th June 9pm) expect the ultimate judgment of Jor-El (as played by SUPERMAN movies ex-villain Terence Stamp), the return of V's Laura Vandervoort as Kara (Supergirl), James Marsters as Brainiac 5 (he's in everything these days! And he also has directing duties on the show this season!), Supe's girlfriend Lois Lane (Erica Durance) meeting the legendary Egyptian goddess Isis, plus the butt-kicking return of her military daddy, the original V's Michael Ironside, as Sam Lane, plus a trip back concerning the alternate universe with Clark Luthor and the dreaded eternity prison known as the Phantom Zone (with the re-emergence of General Zod as a physical force (now played by Callum Blue). What about that series favourite since its beginnings, Clark's personal nemesis, Lex Luthor (as played by the popular Michael Rosenbaum)? What trouble will his return bring in its wake?

All this and we haven't even gotten round to talking about the Apokolips yet!

As the mighty John Williams SUPERMAN movies theme returns, and the Fortress of Solitude reveals clues to Clark's destiny, might the series ultimately end with the legendary last son of Krypton donning the famous red and blue costume? Well, if you haven't already seen Season Ten, I'm not going to tell you!! You'll just have to see it for yourself...

Other guest stars in this final year include Michael Shanks, Alessandro Juliani, and Lexa Doig, whilst directors include Jeannot Szwarc (who also way back made the only and only SUPERGIRL film with the lovely Helen Slater), the series lead star himself, Tom Welling, and HEROES Greg Beeman.

Wedded bliss to come for Clark and Lois (Erica Durance)?

The heroic legend may be coming to an end on one channel, but it's re-commenced on another, as the UK's SYFY CHANNEL HD returns to SMALLVILLE from its meteor crashing start today (Monday 6th June 5pm), for those who've never seen it and for all those die-hard fans who want to re-live the fun and adventure of the world's most enduring super-hero once again...
