July 28, 2009: "Smallville" Info on Zod and Lois in Season 9

E! Online's "Watch with Kristin" Spoiler Chat gives a few details about Zod and Clark's relationship in Season 9 of "Smallville" and whether Lois Lane will get her job back at the Daily Planet.

    Please explain more about the younger version of Zod. If Krypton has not been destroyed yet, does that mean Clark can change his destiny and save his people?

    That's exactly what we asked executive producer Brian Peterson. "We're introducing [Callum Blue] as Major Zod, before he even turns into General Zod, so we get to see his trajectory into becoming the villain he's known as. We've never had a Kryptonian living on Earth with Clark for an entire season, and [to see] how that affects Clark's journey," says Peterson. "We're going to be exploring a lot of that this year, without trying to do too much time jumping and alternate universes. We're going to try to explore the relationship between Zod and Clark, and what if that were different? Zod and Jor-El, and what if that had been different in the past? In the first six episodes, we're going to get to it pretty quickly." (Did we mention Callum told us to "kneel before Zod" at Comic-Con?)

    Since Lois was fired by Tess Mercer last season on Smallville, will she find her way back to the Daily Planet in season nine?

    "Nobody fires Lois," jokes Erica Durance. Despite getting the boot from the Daily Planet last season, Durance says, "[Lois] for sure finds her way back there, investigating things, getting into trouble and getting rescued. It wouldn't be Lois Lane if she wouldn't."

Remember, "Smallville" Season 9 premieres in the U.S. on Friday, September 25th.
