Strike Update: 5 More Episodes After "Veritas?"
The striking writers had meetings yesterday to discuss the terms of their new contract with the studios, and if the WGA members vote to end the strike, a lot of writers could be back to work as early as Wednesday.

But that's not the only good news we have for you! The CW wants five more episodes of Smallville, bringing the total number of Season 7 episodes to 20... just two shy of the usual amount. Now, this is assuming that the strike will be ending and that there will be time to film all of those segments... but things are looking good.

As always, I'll keep you updated!
