'Static' Airs Tonight
Thu November 16th 2006 @ 5:39PM - James - Tom Welling - 2 Comments
Smallville's final episode until December 7th, 'Static', airs tonight on the CW Network. This episode has had quite a lot of publicity thanks to its guest star, the WWE's Batista, including a video clip from WWE.com and a handful of official stills.
If you'd like to discuss the episode once it's over – or even before it's started – you can do so over on the forum or down in the comments.
I'm working really hard on a whole new TomWelling.org (okay, so some of it won't change much) at the moment, but since my usual estimates of how long something will take are at best inaccurate, there's no ETA. Suffice to say that it's going well so far. Unfortunately, due to how much work there is to do, I'm not going to be able to search for any news for a while, so I'm calling on everyone to help me out! If you see something that you think I should know about, please contact me.

All I can say is, never have I seen so little Tom Welling in Smallville as in this season. I don't know why I'd consider purchasing the DVD collection once it's out. So, if you're a real fan of Tom, it's more fulfilling to watch previous episodes from previous seasons. Is he secretly working on a film or something that takes him away from Smallville? I'm just curious ... and disappointed.

Tom directed episode 10 of this season, 'Hydro', which is currently scheduled to air in January next year. Prepping to direct an episode usually takes quite a few weeks, so it doesn't surprise me that Tom's role was surprisingly small in some of this season's earlier episodes.
As far as whether he's working on any "secret" projects, I don't know of any. Although I guess they wouldn't be very secret if I did.
