Smallville Episode 200 Preview

The folks over at TV Guide have been able to sit on a lot of the Smallville production efforts for episode 200 entitled Homecoming.  As such, they’ve been able to put together quite a preview for this week’s episode.  Any else excited by this preview?  As long as it doesn’t turn in to a clip show I’m going to be pretty happy with the show.  But I think the use of old clips is about the only way they could bring back some of the actors who have left the show.  I can’t be too disappointed though, James Marsters is coming back to play the role of Brainiac 5.  I’ve always been a fan of his work and thought he was vastly underrated as an actor, so anytime he’s back on TV I’m happy.

And one last piece just to tease the readers some more.  Here is the official description of the 200th episode of Smallville.

A RECORD-BREAKING EVENT! SMALLVILLE HITS 200 EPISODES AND BRINGS BACK FAMILIAR FACES LIKE JAMES MARSTERS AS BRAINIAC — In an attempt to cheer up Clark (Tom Welling), Lois (Erica Durance) convinces him to attend their five-year high school reunion. A visit back to the home of the Crows has Clark remembering old times with Lana (Kristin Kreuk) and Chloe (Allison Mack), while Losi is furious that no one remembers her five days as a student. Brainiac 5.0 (James Marsters) uses his Legion ring to visit from the future and takes Clark through his past, present and future. He shows Clark what really happened the night Jonathan died, Oliver’s (Justin Hartley’s) current pain and Clark’s future at the Daily Planet with Lois and his role as Earth’s favorite red and blue superhero. Jeannot Szwarc directed the episode written by Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders (#3X6004).

Here’s hoping they’ve kept it really quiet and we get the return of the real Lex Luthor during this episode.  That would be a huge way to cap off episode 200.
