Smallville isn't going to be so Small anymore?

So, I have this pseudo-guilty pleasure called Smallville. The first three seasons were actually pretty good television, season 4 was a nightmare, season 5 was mostly good with messy undertones, and season 6 started out with great promise and ended with a shrug. Season 7, however, promises to be more problematic than anything. Why, you ask? Pretty simple. Kara Zor-El.

Yes. Supergirl is showing up when Clark isn't even quite 21 years old yet. Nor, for that matter, able to fly or being called Superman by the public.

I don't like this idea. It's completely contrary to every version of Supergirl that has come before, even the movie version. Granted, I think a lot of people want to forget that movie ever happened. The only version of Kara that could be even remotely this close to Kal-El's age is Power Girl, and she's from an alternate dimension.

*shrug* We'll see what happens. Her first appearance will be in the season premier. $5 says she's the one who stops Bizzaro.
