Talk:Smallville season 6

message: Why don't we use the following text said by Al Gough?
The theme of Season 6 is the rise of Lex Luthor. You're definitely going to see the more ruthless Lex Luthor you know from the comic books really start to emerge. The season will also be about the corruption of good — not only Lana, but Martha. Will she get involved with Lionel? And when Clark does come back from the Phantom Zone, what will it have done to him? We never really explored what happens to somebody inside the Phantom Zone, which is really the ultimate incarceration. [...] The idea was that on Krypton — and we'd like to explore some of this in Season 6 — Zod was the ultimate terrorist. He and Jor-El were once friends and became enemies. As a result, there was a breakaway. It has more to do with political intrigue rather than that the planet started spinning too close to the sun, which has always sort of been the traditional story.

::Because that isn't an overview, that's more of what Gough would like to do. So, it really doesn't correspond to this page, or any page. They will release a more official overview later. They are still writing and filming right now, and will be until next year. But, for the first couple month's episodes they are still working on them right now. Bignole 23:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Millions of users world wide view Wikipedia, many thousands feel a need to update and improve articles. Unless an article is obviously Vandalised (see Wikipedia policy on what constitutes true vandalism,)then you have no right to arbitrarily revert someone elses work.
If you don't agree with the edit/change then you should post your concerns here in the discussion page or open a dialog with the user responsible. Always try to come to an agreement on the edit and your reason for objecting to it.
If you can't agree then get the other users of this page to decide via the Discussion Page or have one of the WikiPedia Moderators decide. Wikipedia is a Democracy not a Dictatorship.
In any case, no one owns these pages, no one has the right to delete someone elses work and no one decides how a page should look, how long an article should be, how many links it should have, and how many times a link can be done.
These things do not have set rules in Wikipedia and just because you have your own set of rules does not meen others must follow your rules.
Have some patience with new users and don't be a bully with these articles. If someones work makes the artice more informative then leave it alone. Just because you have links earlier on other pages, doesn't meen they can't be linked again. Not everyone follows this topic from the beginning. Some users appreciate links in articles even if they have been repeated from others on previous pages.
Links don't hurt, they only make the Wikipedia experience more enjoyable for all. So before you just delete the work of others, think how you would like it if someone deleted your work.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.49.235.50 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: Let's get one thing straight Anon, WIKIPEDIA IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and as such has rules and regulations that guide it. When you do not follow those you either get reverted or blocked. You ignored the rules when you linked everything on the "Wither" episode, even after someone explained that you were wrong in your edits. It wasn't your edit that got you blocked it was your repeated behavior at reverting something you were informed was wrong. Second, plot summaries are not substitutions for watching the episode. If you want to read every detail of an episode I suggest you go to Wikia-Smallville and read it there, or write it there if you want to do that. But, if you continue to claim ignorance of Wikipedia policy reguarding fictional articles then you will continue to be reverted. Bignole 11:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: :It's highly unlikely he would have been "still week from the Phantom Zone", because he wasn't weak from the Phantom Zone. The PZ just removed his powers, once back on Earth he had them back. It's known (even in this series) that he gets his powers from the Sun, and the fact that he does all of his rebuilding at night (i.e. no sun) means he cannot regenerate the energy he loses at night, especially since he continues to work to rebuild his own home. Even Superman has to rest, and the fact that he's constantly working is why he's drained of energy. Now, one could argue that he could have "caught" something in the PZ but it's never actually stated, just thrown in there as a possibility. Bignole 20:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been established in almost every continuity that his has to recharge his powers at a certain point, it's the mere fact that he's always in the sun that you don't actually see him do the "Superman Returns" and fly up high to the Sun. As you quoted "I've never pushed myself that far before", thus that's saying he's never exerted that much of his abilities before, hence the "draining of his powers because there's no sunlight to recharge his abilities". He's like a solar powered being that just absorbs solar radation that it isn't like he's weak at night, it's just that if he over does it then he becomes weaker. Martha made a suggestion, she didn't say that was what it was, she said "possibly". Don't argue semantics with me. She was giving a possible reason for his cold. Also, you cannot pick what source your use for continuity (i.e. using Maggin and not others). Superman gets his abilities from the solar radiation of our Yellow Sun, that act to "super charge" his unique molecular structure. Go back and watch "Perry" and you'll see that Smallville established that the Yellow Sun is the means to which Clark get's his powers. Bignole 21:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I wasn't taking anything personal. You were trying to say that what Martha said what a "fact" when it was a "possibility". You even quoted Clark as discussing "pushing his abilities this far" which is talk of "over exerting yourself". Now, you cannot quote canon from another source, seeing as Smallville is its own source. You cannot begin to assume that whatever "source" you choose as canon for Smallville will automatically work, seeing as Smallville is writing its own version. Having been a writer of Superman comics and author of (what YOU deem as brilliant books) does not make him an authority about what IS or ISN'T current canon (especially when it has no grounds in this discussion seeing as Smallville, again, is writing its own continuity). What is current in the Superman world of comics is what is "Superman's continuity", it doesn't matter if Maggin wrote the best Supe novels around, if they are considered current canon then it doesn't matter (even so, that's SUPERMAN comics that YOU are quoting, not Smallville the television show). What has been established on the show is that Clark get's his abilities from the Sun. Martha made a suggestion (which if you read is incorporated into the sentence, but since it isn't fact you can only go with what is actually there..sorry no assumptions) and write it as such. The fact is that he's been working day and night, he's over exhausting his body and powers with no rest, and there is a "possibility" that he could have contracted something from the PZ.

message: Watching the episode Static, I can't seem to forget noticing that in the battle between Lex and Static the knife was on the floor before frequencies were shifted prior to Static actually being stabbed.  IMHO, it seems like a blooper in the episode that the knife was accessible after the frequency shifting even though no one was holding it before and/or after the frequency shift had occurred.  This is can be further witnessed by noting that during all other frequency shifts, objects were only shifted if they were held by someone.  Anyone else notice this?

replies: text: Bronson wasn't holding anyone, he was dead, and he came through.

message: Could somebody please explain to me why each episode title from this particular page links to an independent wiki project located at http://smallville.wikia.com? I'm not sure if it's just me, but isn't it quite inappropriate for a Wikipedia article to link to an outside source within the article, especially when readers would be expecting to be directed to another Wikipedia page? Equally disturbing is the fact that summaries available on the aforementioned site blatantly plagarize information directly from http://www.cwtv.com
Please voice your opinion on this, because I'm currently baffled how such a thing could have come to pass on Wikipedia. All the while, I may be missing something. If that's the case, please enlighten me on this subject... Homologeo 11:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the way it was done awhile ago, but the other season pages have had it removed. The removal came mid-sixth season, so when people created the temps for the final episodes they just followed what had previously been done.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 11:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So, should the links be also removed from this page? I don't want to start removing so many links until it's clear that this is what the Wikipedia community would support. Also, it turns out that links to http://smallville.wikia.com fill the Wikipedia pages for both Smallville Season 2 and 4. Homologeo 11:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I thought they all had been done. Yes, you should remove the links. I thought they had all been done and a "wikia" link was placed at the bottom of the page for each season...hmm. Anyway, per WP:HEAD, we shouldn't link in the headers. A bunch of us didn't know that when we started it, it was meant as a way to encourage the type of pages that were created for individual episodes (see:Hothead (Smallville episode)) to be created on a wikia, because all of the individual episode pages are nothing but plots and random trivia (unverified trivia at that), with no actual encyclopedic content in them. It was best served on a Wikia. Anyway, you grab this season, I'll jump over to Season 2, and whoever is done first can grab the others.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 12:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

text: New pages of what? episodes articles? Wikipedia is not a substitution for watching an episode. These summaries are too long as it is. There is no critical commentary on any of them.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 10:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

text: And they shouldn't. Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episodes and Wikipedia:Television episodes tell you how you should go about it. They also say avoid doing mass AfDs for television episodes. So they fact that they exist is wrong (for probably 90% of them, because I'm sure there are a few notable episodes), but other than posting a merger tag on the series page, you'll probably never get rid of them. There are too many people that run that series of pages, and they probably shouldn't let you get away with it. Even if you are right. I personally have no problem running AfDs on Smallville episodes, because I don't want this series of articles to turn into that. They are a wasts of mainspace, because they are nothing but plots and trivia, two things that Wikipedia is not about (Wiki doesn't want overly long plots or trivia sections).   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 16:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

text: First, being GA doesn't mean anything other than someone thought the page was satisfactory. Anyone can promote an article to GA. Compared The Crepes of Wrath to Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire. The latter is GA, and its the pilot. It has production information, the first one has only trivia. I don't want to get into creating 131 pages (41 already exist as is) that have nothing but plot and trivia attached, because no one bothered to find production information. The method of work should be focus on the main article, then focus on the derivative articles (list or seasons; in this case it would be season), then focus on individual episode articles. The problem lies in the fact that if you put all of the encyclopedic content of an entire season of almost any show, you could, most likely, easily fit it on one article. Which is what I'm doing (see User:Bignole/Smallville seasons) first. I'm working on enhancing the season pages, and if there seems to be a lot of info on a particular episode, then I'll work up an episode article. Another problem is that it being television, there aren't a lot of reasons to "review" it. You'll probably find notable reviews for the pilot, the finales, or a big episode (like the 100th episode), but not for joe-schmo episode number 7.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 16:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Jor-El listed as a recurring character? He's only in 1 ep.
:Because he's a recurring character for the entire series. It doesn't matter if he doesn't show up in many episodes, his character has made a steady appearance since season 2.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 11:09, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He's recurring for the show, it doesn't matter if he only happens to show up for one episode in one of the seasons though. If he was a one episode a season guest, then he'd be a "special guest", but this is the first season that he only made one appearance. The character of Roger Nixon was a recurring guest star, but he only made one appearance in season two, and that was the premiere, when he died. It was still part of his run as a recurring guest star for the show. Why would we list people that are recurring if they don't show up in the season? He showed up. If a reader is visiting the season six page, they've either visited the other pages, or they know the show already anyway. He's a recurring guest for the entire series, and he had one appearance in season six. His recurring guest position doesn't change, it just happened to be limited this season.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 11:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The section is called "Recurring guests", not "Recurring guest for season six alone". Anyone visiting season six is probably already familiar with the series anyway. It isn't like someone is going to go "hey, how come he gets mentioned when he appeared only once"?  The reason being, he's appeared regularly each season, he is an established recurring guest, this season just happened to be that he was only used once. It's "Recurring guests" nor "Special guests". The fact that he was used once is irrelevant to the fact that he was already established as a recurring guest. If he only appeared in one episode a season, since his introduction, then yes, I wouldn't think he should be mentioned. But so far, this is just a random season that happened to not use him.    BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 10:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

text: No, the "Recurring guests" section are for recurring guests that appear in season six, not for recurring guests of season six alone. I understand your point, but at this time he is a recurring guest. Sarah Jane Redman wasn't listed from her appearance in "Promise" because she hasn't appeared on the show for several seasons. Terence Stamp has been consistently on the show since season 2, his episode count just varies.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 11:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
