I wish I could quit you...
One of my fave things the show has been doing quite a bit in recent years in the introduction of several characters from DC Comics. In the last 3 seasons alone, we've seen the introductions of Bizarro, Supergirl, Black Canary, Plastique, Maxima, Doomsday, the Legion of Superheroes, Toyman, Zatanna, General Zod, Metallo, and the latest addition, Roulette.
However, tonight's episode gives up our latest introduction, Speedy. For those unfamiliar with the character, here's a little bio on her:
Once a teenage runaway involved with child prostitution, Mia Dearden was rescued by Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, and became his sidekick, Speedy; an accomplished archer and hand-to-hand combatant.
I'm particularly excited about this character's introduction because a) it has the potential to be a recurring character, and b) a sidekick on Smallville would be awesome. Sidekicks have always been a staple in DC Comics. It would be nice if if there was one on one of its TV shows.
I saw tonight's episode also, and can't help looking up Mia, aka Speedy. Good call on blogging Smallville. Still love the show, even though its far from the original story line. I always thought Speedy was a boy though... guess not. I think Louis Lane is pretty hot. Hotter than they make her out to be in the comics.
ReplyDeleteThe first Speedy was a boy, but he's all grown up now and goes by the name Red Arrow. Mia is the second Speedy, but you know Smallville likes to do things they're own way.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Lois Lane is hot. Although I would argue that depending on who's drawing her, she's hot in the comics, too.
