Smallville's "Aqua" Episode Re-Airs May 11
A curious choice for a repeat episode, The WB will be airing the Smallville episode "Aqua" featuring Aquaman on Thursday, May 11 at 9PM (ET), following their airing of the show's fifth season finale, "Vessel."
The episode featured Alan Ritchson in the role of Arthur "A.C." Curry, the role that Justin Hartley will be playing in Mercy Reef.
Perhaps this is an attempt to again see if there's interest in the Aquaman character, or to prepare the fans for a new project that may be coming this Fall? Or, could it be that they just want to re-air one of the season's highest-rated episodes? Guess we'll know their motivations soon enough...
(Keep in mind that repeat schedules could change. We're still surprised they're not doing a "Superman Returns" preview after the Smallville finale...)
