Huh?

Ok, I reconfirmed at several places that the Smallville premiere is next week, so why the heck did they show the rerun of "Quest" rather than "Arctic" tonight? Dammit, I was looking forward to rewatching that pivotal Clark-Lex scene. And while I kind of liked Quest the first time, I found it pretty damn tedious this time around.

Ain't the CW so speshul?

Call me a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I actually believe Dawn is hoping SV and SPN tank this year so she can remove them from the schedule without arguement. So, no promotion, no publicity, not even setting up the season premiere properly.

I find that pretty unlikely, considering that the CW is tottering on the edge of existence. She's not going to sabotage some of the few shows she has that get decent ratings, or there's not likely to BE a CW next year. I assume the "no promotion" thing, as usual, is related to the extremely limited budget they have for promotion, so they're saving it for their new shows.

I suspect it was stupidity rather than deliberate malice.
