Smallville season 8 premiere--"Odyssey"

I haven't really posted on SV episodes since the third episode of season 7 namely because I no longer have CW. The internet does offer plenty of alternatives to remedy that but reading on others' journals about the progression of the season pretty much told me I wasn't missing much. However spoilers for season 8 have left me so completely excited that this time around I told myself that with or without CW I was going to get my hands on SV episodes. Throw in the news that Erica Durance's usual 13 episodes per season have been increased to an undetermined number and it's furthered my resolve.

Anticipation for "Odyssey" was very high for me. I do regret being as spoiled as I was, especially with the Lois/Clark clips CW released, because it reduced the surprise factor. That being said I was very pleased with the episode and the foundation that they laid for the season ahead.

Dear the 60th Annual Emmy Awards:

I expect...no I demand X-Files moments.

Thank you.

8:02 We get the XF theme during the Josh Grobin theme song medley. The lights dim and Animal from The Muppets gets abducted as Josh yells, "No! Take me!" Um...ok. Clearly he has never seen the show.

9:39: Bryan Cranston wins Best Drama Series Actor for Breaking Bad. The show was created by former XF producer/writer Vince Gilligan. Bryan Cranston was also in season 6's underrated "Drive."

I forgot to mention that earlier in the night Zeljko Ivanek won for Best Supporting Drama Actor for "Damages." He played the title character in season 1's  XF "Roland".
