soo...any thoughts on the season premier?

it felt kinda...incomplete. I dunno, i guess things just wrapped up a little too nicely, in too short a time. I wanted to see a bigger battle between clark and bizzarro. Atleast something more then just an uppercut. He should've atleast flew/jumped after him after the punch and beat him down some more, or like catapult him towards the sun in midair. that would've been kool to see.

Lana being alive is no surprise...but chloe on the other hand did sneak up on me. i was fully expecting her to stay dead. Its kind of a bitter sweet scenario. on the one hand her death which seemed like a big thing in the finale is just kinda 'meh' now. but on the other hand it indicates that her power is something more then just lifesaving tears, which i thought was totally gay. Lionel is also a mystery...or rather, lionels secret savior. I wonder who it was and where they took him.

Lastly, supergirl....i like her character, she looks good as supergirl. Im curious about how she suddenly appeared though. I dont know her comic book background, but i remember seeing a supergirl movie a looong time ago (like, late 80's, early 90's) where she also appears out of the ocean or something....apparently instead of clark who came from outer space, she was from something called 'inner space'. Im not sure if thats something they just made up for the movie, or if thats from the original comics. But seeing her in the water like that was interesting. And what's the deal with that bangle/arm bracelet she was looking at. I looked sorta like the thing wonder woman wears. Well, lets see how things develop this season.

Edit: oh and this scene was totally hot.

I suspect the bracelet was a keepsake from home (Krypton), I noticed she looked somewhat depressed as she was putting it on. I remember in Superman TAS and Justice League Unlimited a recurring theme with Supergirl was that since she grew up on Krypton she missed her old lifestyle since Earth was so primitive by comparison. The bracelet may even containing some technological properties like Jor-El's S symbol thing and the ship key.

As to the Bizzaro fight it was annoying that it ended so quickly, but it kept to the Smallville tradition that all plots left hanging in the season finale of a season are completely closed up by the following season premier, which then spawns new plots that will pop up over the course of that season. Zod, the Crystal of Knowledge, the second meteor shower, they all followed this formula.

Bizarro really couldn't have lasted. He was practically Clark and had he lasted it would've pretty much prevented him from becoming the reporter persona in the future and would've brought too much attention to himself and his powers.
Coming to the season, I thought that Supergirl would become a fun character and an instant ally to Clark, although bringing him a bit of trouble with his friends and the public. But from what I saw in the preview it seems that she might actually cause some real havoc, at least in the beginning. She seemed a bit cold and serious, so I wonder what's going through her mind.

A few things regarding ep 3.....first, since when did lana know about clark? I mean, i know she knew, but i remember clark ever telling her anyhting himself....how did she know that he was from krypton and stuff? Did clark spill his guts out last season and i just dont remember?

Secnod, that black guy working for Lex...isn't he the same dude that played one of Zod's soldiers a few seasons back? One of the 2 kryptonians that came to earth during the second meteor shower?

Also, it turns out theres another kryptonian out there, and he's been around for some time. Wonder who he/she could be. I can't recall anyone from the original superman storyline besides superman and supergirl who survived krypton's explosion. Any ideas from the more learned DC fans?

Lastly, i gotta say im loving the Lex storyline. His inner battle between good and evil, and the implication that him being evil could be a result of clark's secretive nature, its awesome. The smallville series has given his character alot of background and depth that no other series has even touched.

Yukimura

I'm pretty sure the Black Kryptonian was the same actor that played D.L on Heroes. Either him or someone who looks a lot like him. His name was Nam'Ek or some variant of that if you want to look it up. The guy working for lex is a lot less bulky.

As to Lana I don't think he told her everything either, but she might have put two and two together because she she saw the two Kryptonians wreaking havoc and his powers are similar.

And an offhand gripe I had, their attempts to make fights between Clark and meteor freaks seem dangerous are starting to get pathetic. It's always Clark shows up, meteor freak uses a cool but ineffective power, kryptonite magically appears, Clark gets screwed, Clark gets saved. I guess last season messed up my expectations because his opponents actually fought him on a level enough playing field to be interesting.

The guy working for Lex I'm pretty sure is the trainer of the rich crippled guy in Dark Angel.

Ya, i couldn't agree more. I hate how the kryptonite is just fucking everywhere. It wont show up during day to day activities, but soon as a fight starts, theres a shit load of kryptonite hidden just inches beneath the ground. Its about time clark started slapping around these small fries.

And on that note, i loved how kara bitch slapped that tornado chick into a wall 20 feet away.

Its a necessary element, cuz without it he would be completely invulnerable. But it shouldn't be such a common occurrence. Only the major supervillians should have access to kryptonite

They simply needed to be more creative creating supervillians that would be able to challenge him.

Seriously at this point they really need to come up with a better formula for the actual battles last season wasn't bad because the zoners were equal or better than Clark himself which adding some much needed depth and strategy to the fight.

If i was Clark you'd think he would be smart enough to know to search for and destroy as much Kryptonite as possible. By the way just how many different types of kryptonite are there anyway. That being said Smallville is by far one of my favorite shows and its good to see that they are continuing to explore the intricate nature of Lex's personality and the relationship between him, Clark and Lana. I wish that Lana would just die for good soon as her character really isn't worthy of anyone fighting over she still needs alot more development I feel.

It seems that Brainac may be making a return at the end of this season looking forward to seeing if and how it plays out.

Sorry for the rant by the way.

Last nights episode was good.

Dean Cain showed up, for a moment I thought he would be that old kryptonian they are looking for. The drama with supergirl and the Mars guy was nice, completely divided Clark's loyalties, so lets see where it goes from here. Lana and her secret spy room was kinda cool too, for a moment I though that Lex would look at one of the camera's as a sign that he's aware the he's being watched. And Chloe is weak.

Yukimura

Fri, 10-19-2007, 11:27 AM

God every time I start to like Lana a little bit she goes and pulls another stunt like this. It was great when she was playing house and making pancakes and giving Clark that little kiss when he came home, but then the end ruined it and showed she's still a crazy self-important hypocrite. I would have thought the secret spy room was cool if it weren't for the fact that Lana whines constantly about people she loves keeping secrets from her while doing just that.

MM vs Kara felt like it came completely out of nowhere but I remember now that MM served Jor'El and Jor'El's not a fan of her so it makes sense. Clark doesn't really know either of them nor does he know what that Crystal is or what it could do so he's really in a tight spot over what to do. I suspect the crystal is going to be Zor El's version of the Fortress of Solitude.

Abdula

Great plot development. Loved Dean Cain always felt like he was a good actor who just can't seem to find any good roles. The cameo was a long time coming and was really good, immortality was a nice spin. The conclusion with the Kryptonite showing up everywhere once again could've been done better though especially since we have no idea what they did with him after that.

I'm resolute that Lana should just die for good as all she does is divert attention from all that is good about the show. Kristen Kreuk does not deserve so much face time. I really wish Erica Durance would get a more consistent role on the show because Lois is a much better character.

Munsu

Fri, 10-26-2007, 02:25 PM

I don't know, but I'd say that last night's episode was one of the better ones of the series. There were some midly disturbing scenes, which was nice with Lionel trying to break free. The moment he went psycho-killer was very good too, that was a cool scene. Clark almost flew, but the jackass was in cloud 9 and didn't realize it. Lana is EVIL.

Abdula

Fri, 10-26-2007, 03:31 PM

Last nights episode was sub par in my opinion, Clark being a hero saving a beautiful woman just to have some insane villain who thinks he is saving the world find out about his powers and try to kill Lana. Another Luther being held captive, the reason does not even matter at this point. Still Lex's character development is still the most interesting thing about this show for me. Lex, Lionel, Lois and Kara are pretty much the only redeeming characters in the show.This episode only served to reaffirm in my mind the need for Lana to die,

Things I loved about this episode: Finally they get it, Lana needs to die for Clark to actually do anything still have no idea why he is so hung up on that chick, Lex I could go on about his character forever, looks like Chloe and Lois might get some much needed development though i doubt it'll be anything significant. Lionel trying to talk some sense into the crazy bitch instead of putting 3 bullets in her head.

Things I hated about this episode: Lionel trying to talk some sense into the crazy bitch instead of putting 3 bullets in her head, Clark saving Lana and the fool just jumped off the building instead of flying and then appears to be mesmerized by her beauty makes me want to hurl. How long it took Clark and Chloe to figure the guy would try to kill Lana I mean DUH. Lana, Lana, Lana, use of the phrase "Google Proof", and did they really try to suggest that Clark is "hanging up his cape" to be with Lana (excuse me while i regurgitate).

Best thing about this episode: Next week's preview

It is inherently evident that my dislike of Lana Lang has evolved from a simple prejudiced opinion into a full blown hatred that has undoubtedly affected my entire assessment of this show and will forever hinder from enjoying this series. Damn I Hate Her!

Last night’s episode was horrendous. Kara was great as usual and Jimmy and Chloe are getting some much needed character development, like that she was attempting to accept the fact that she is a meteor freak. Lionel’s and Lex’s relationship remains ambiguous and I still have no idea what their motives are. Lex is still ambivalent about whether he is or wants to be a good guy or not. Loved the plot developments and the back-story was good albeit clichéd, Ofcourse he was a mad scientist who hated his brother because he stole his woman, hoped they would’ve come up with something better than that.

The fact that Lara and Kara had previously visited earth was not surprising because it was established early on that Kryptonians regularly came to earth but the mention of a portal was surprising and seemed like intentional foreshadowing, actually this entire episode seemed that way including the fact that Zor-El was asking Lara to remain on earth with him.

What killed this episode in my opinion was that psycho chick Lana for obvious reasons but the fact that she claims that she is using the money to help the meteor freaks and their families to try and make up for what Lex did really pissed me off, along with the fact that she thinks she is doing some good and she is still hiding stuff from Clark who is completely oblivious to any of her actions, which gets me to my main problem with this episode Clark.

Personally I never liked the superman character because of his whole moral superiority and his incessant need to do what is right and never kill which I find to be completely unrealistic and in most cases it is futile because death is the only way you can know with any certainty that a villain will not return. That being said I’ve come to accept it as part of the character of Superman and it is essentially his only major flaw and his biggest weakness but don’t change it, it’s the most interesting part of his character he never lies, steals, or deceives anyone unless he somehow feels it is in there best interest and even then he is always riddled with guilt so that was what ruined this episode for me, a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan.

-Oh I forgot to mention how ridiculous it was that a picture was hidden in his house for more than twenty years and remained both hidden and undamaged for upwards of twenty years even though the house was damaged numerous times and completely destroyed twice but then I remember that this is just a TV show and I’m taking things way too seriously.

Average little episode. Was it really a seasonal episode because it really didn't seem that way. This show is getting far too predictable for me, I predict almost verbatim everything that is going to happen. Partly because I know so much about Superman lore but mostly because this has all been done before. It seems like they have just been reworking previous scripts and its not just this episode I have been getting that feeling the last couple seasons but it just hasn't been getting any better. Watching this episode I actually got bored the show has really lost its appeal.

One of Lex's experiments gets away and holds someone hostage so he can force someone else to make Lex confess. Lana, Lana, Lana its been seven seasons and her character hasn't changed at all which wouldn't be so bad except that it wasn't good to begin with.

Once again Clark goes zombie, it usually because he either gains some enlighten that makes him act differently which he suddenly forgets all about a few episodes later, or some from of Kryptonite red, green, silver what have you or some other such nonsense. He always does some crap and then his father has to punish him and then he miraculously realizes the error of his ways only to once again regress once his punishment is over. At least we get to see Bizarro for a while it was pretty obvious that Clark hadn't finished him in the beginning of the season. What is up with that any they always make a big deal out of something for the finale and then it is all miraculously taken care of half-way through the first episode of the next season.

Chloe heals, wow, what a waste of time. Now she and Jimmy are going to get back together and then some crap is going to happen in one of three ways and they are going to be apart again. She is uncomfortable with being a meteor freak, he thinks that all meteor freaks go psycho eventually.

Lex cloned his brother, like we didn't see that one coming. I mean they already told us his brother was dead, and they said he had cloned Lana in the beginning of the season then all of a sudden they reveal this new guy to be his brother. Really, I never would've thought of it.

Lois falls in love with someone who turns out to have this life threatening secret so they can't be with her. Then there is the whole situation with Clark and Lana, like anyone thinks that relationship is going to work when the lowest common denominator is Lex. How much foreshadowing are they going to do before they put the two of them together are do they plan on just teasing it forever.

There is a lot more I could say but I'm getting bored just thinking about it. I'll try to focus on the good things next time. Well atleast we saw "Clark use his powers for awhile which was nice, I was going to say when did he learn to fly, but turns out its Bizarro, I thought he had just gone Kal-El again.

Anyway at least we get to see more Bizarro and looks like we are getting close to seeing Brainiac again which is what I was waiting for since the beginning of this season but it looks like they are going to use the same formula they used last season. The plot just really lacks any continuity and really its lost its appeal to me.

Abdula

Thu, 01-31-2008, 10:25 PM

This was or I should say it could've been a great episode. I hate when they bring characters in only to have then die really unimpressive and unoriginal deaths. Seriously they got to do something about that they always build up villains only to have them handily taken care of later. They way they got rid of Bizarro was pathetic.

I knew they would kill off Julian because they really had nothing else to do with his character but did they have to use that old cliché. It didn't even look right and no one can say that they didn't see that one coming.

In any case, love the dark turn Lex is taking and how "direct" he was about it too. Although I'm sure they are just flip flopping his character again, I mean just how many times can he try to act the part of the good guy only to go awry again.

I'm not even going to talk about yet another damn Kryptonian getting introduced only to die immediately afterward. Anyway atleast Brainiac is back, for now anyway.

And also, Bizzaro being in love with lana? wtf. I thought it was bad when clark just punched him into the sky, but compared to this, that method was infinately more badass. Who the fuck gets destroyed by blue kryptonite? and by fucking Lana?

Munsu

Fri, 02-01-2008, 10:48 AM

I've said before, and I'll say it again... I hate episodes that deal with Kryptonite; they are always the worst. I liked Lex killing off Julian though, and since this is probably his last season they better setup some big confrontation between him and Clark soon just so that he can go out with a bang. Everything else, was boring... every episode seems to have the same sort of dialogue.

I'm pretty sure it has mentioned quite a lot that he won't come back after this season... at least not in a regular role, maybe a couple of guest star episodes... but surely he won't be back at full capacity; I think there's an article about it linked earlier on this thread... too lazy to hunt it down.

Who saw last night's ep? I thought that it was pretty cool to see Lex's flashbacks. I am thinking that the writing is picking up a little more. I like the fact that Lionel took Lex there to met the "Traveler", throws a whole new spin on it! Anyone else see it?

Abdula

Fri, 03-28-2008, 09:55 PM

Well like my post above you says I too thought the writing was going to pick back up and it seems it is but last night's episode was in a word boring. Same old Lionel trying to warn them of impending doom and Clark and co are obsessed with saving Lana. Really the entire time I was watching, I was waiting for something to happen but everything just seems like its been done before.

Really doesn't this just feel like a rewrite of the same script they've been using like forever now. This time, Kara leaves with Brainiac last time it was Lex, this time Lionel was trying to warn them of impending doom last time same thing, last time Lionel and Lana had two pieces of a key that held the fate of the world, this time Lionel and Lex have two keys that seemingly also hold the fate of the world, god alone knows how many times Lana has gone catatonic, there is more too.

The writing just feels old and like Assasin said their cgi budget is gone or atleast drastically reduced. I just hope they are going to do something original with the story but the way things are going that doesn't seem likely. Really I'm pretty sure I can tell you whats going to happen next, they could of just told me Lionel and Lex have the two keys to something that could potentially be the end of Clark like that hasn't happened before and Kara flew away with Brainiac and saved me the trouble of watching. I'm just glad I'm going to have some new Supernatural to watch soon.

Well there goes my hopes of things getting any better. It isn't really weird the show has been going downhill and if they feel that for whatever reason, maybe CW execs not allowing them to carry out their vision of the show, that their presence was no longer necessary or whatever and they decided it would be better if they just left. I don't have problem with that I just have a What Now feeling.

Yukimura

Sun, 04-06-2008, 04:21 AM

I really hope this means the show will just end with this season. I've herad a rumor that Lex's actor might not come back next season either. At this point I've lost all faith in Smallville's ability to tell a compelling story because the characters just can't advance any more due to them all having preset people who they are destined to become yet they aren't allowed to be thanks to the rules of the show. Clarks not allowed to become Superman, however the only way to maintain tension is for him to fight Superman's battles and deal with Superman's issues.

They're also running out of believably Earth-bound supervillians for Clark to beat up. I don't think Mongul or Darkseid or Doomsday would make any sense in this show, and people like Parasite and Metallo wouldn't make good final bosses.

This season could possibly be salvaged if Braniac comes back kills people like Chloe and Lana, then Clark beats him, realizes he's an idiot, and goes off to train and become Superman. If he doesn't then next season we'll just have more of the same episodic nonsense for another 22 eps with possibly the exact same nefarious force working in the background as the last two seasons. Or maybe they'll just start bringing in other DC heroes like Batman and Green Lantern for Clark to needlessly fight with. It would suck, but people would probably still watch it just to see other heroes in action.

Munsu

Fri, 04-18-2008, 09:00 PM

Well, just watched the latest 4 episodes... 16 came out yesterday.

Although the series has gone downhill, I've thought the final couple of episodes have been quite good. Lex has become seriously evil and demented. Sad that he's leaving the show because the current Lex has been the one that should've been on the series since a couple of seasons ago. Pure evil. When he burned his child persona it was good. Funny how he had that chick killed when he finally could've learned the truth about Clark... I lol'ed at that. The way he killed Lionel was nice too, and how his fall was seen through his eyes.

Although the whole Veritas thing seems interesting somewhat, the whole shit about it being some crap that is capable of controling Clark I find it's pure shit. What's the deal with Jimmy and Lois as of late? Think they'll get together?

Abdula

Fri, 04-18-2008, 09:27 PM

My thoughts exactly. Last nights episode was great and yes indeed this is the Lex Luthor we've all been waiting for, no more ambivalence, no more good little voice on the inside, its pure evil now. It really is sad that its only now happening right at the end but I was beginning to believe it would never happen so I'm ecstatic. IMHO Lionel should have been killed or have died alot earlier but just as with Lex I guess they were scared to make such drastic changes but now that things are winding down they're pulling out all the stops. This one episode was all I've been waiting for from Smallville.

The rest of this storyline is complete crap and as for Jimmy and Lois I stopped caring about relationships a long time ago since they just can't seem to get them right in Smallville. I don't think they'll get together though since Jimmy is hung up on Chloe even more so now because he thinks he knows her big secret and Lois swore off men after GA and Jimmy isn't her type anyway. He is so far below her radar I don't even think she's noticed he is male.

Munsu

Sat, 04-19-2008, 03:47 AM

With the conclusion of the series looming and actors not being brought up at full capacity next season, it does seem to me that the series is going to stop pulling its punches. I don't think they'll be as protective of the characters as they've been before, and finally they found a way to take Lana out of the picture after the freaking writers ruined her completely.

Such a likable character in the begining and they completely destroyed her. I thought it was quite meaningful what happened to her and what Brainiac did to her. It's kinda fucked up, she being conscious to know what's happening and not be able to do anything about it. Be in pain and not be able to express it... that's some quite an awesome way to torture anyone. I doubt this will be all we'll see of her, but for the time being she serves a more valuable role in the series than that crazy bitch with no identity running around.

Yeah I know what that feels like. Now that you've mentioned it, it really is strange when you compare the Lana of season one to the present one. It as if they worked on improving every other character, atleast somewhat, and they intentionally did the exact opposite to her character. I mean its as if after they left high school the only purpose she served was for Lex and Clark to pass her back and forth between each other. They didn't even bother giving her an interesting back story or anything I mean just look at what they did to Chloe.

Anyway, I hope they'll atleast go out with a bang or atleast something interesting like the Sopranos. Hey thats not a half bad idea, leaving the ending ambivalent.

There were some good parts, but as always thw writers managed to ruin the ep as a whole with stupid shit. i enjoyed the whole 007 jimmy olsen thing, but chloe as some crazy 1337 hacker? how did this even happen? i always just let her 'mad computer skillz' go cuz it usually wasn't so unrealistic....ok, so the girl knows how to get around some digital road blocks, no big deal....but hacking into NASA caliber satellites? and what was all that energized particle trail in the ionosphere bullshit? since when did she become the resident astrophysist?

The last episode of Smallville...what the fuck. If Braniac could be beaten by stabbing him and then dropping a big rock on him why was he giving Clark so much trouble?

And I know the fortress has loads of magic powers but come one, at least show up Clark going back in time to Krypton, don't just have him randomly appear, then not get killed when he fights a superpowerd being with no powers of his own. Seriously, how are we supposed to believe that Braniac, who rivaled them on Earth, couldn't take Clark and Kara on Krypton when they had no powers?

It's gotten to a point where I feel like it's a chore to watch each ep, but I won't give up if they don't since I've stuck by for so long.

Exactly. The plot is horrible and its riddled with holes the size of Texas. Isn't Brainiac just a mass of nano machines, he started out as just some liquid in a tube. He can shape shift and even regenerate but stabbing him and dropping a rock on his head is going to kill him and how the hell did a scrawny chick lift that huge rock over her head if she doesn't have any powers. Btw how would he get stabbed like that in the first place, he isn't a kryptonian but he has their powers and unlike them his power doesn't come from the sun so why the hell would he get stabbed like that shouldn't he be invulnerable. How the hell did Clark get to Kryton, even if he knew where the portal was it was in freaking deep space and the bastard doesn't even know how to fly so how did he get to it and why the hell did Brainiac need Kara in first place.

What the hell was up with the first 80% of the episode with all thats been going on and knowing its his destiny to save the world and everything why does he suddenly think the world is going to be such a better place without him especially seeing how anxious he was to eliminate Brainiac I dunno just one episode ago. Then they proceed to the cheesiest most cliche plot device of them all, well nothing beats time travel but, an alternate dimension where Lex is the president and he and Brainiac are going to destroy the world, Chloe's engaged, Lana is married and has kids and his infertile parents have a kid. Wow like we never saw that one coming. Btw the way since both Kara and Clark can move faster than a speeding bullet and could simply use their heat vision to destroy the bullet why did they just stand there and get shot? Did they just not feel like moving out of the way because they saw the bullets coming at them in slow motion.

Anyway it was bad enough when they said the Krytonians could use portals to transport themselves not only from place to place or planet to planet but even inter-dimensional travel and now it turns out they could travel through time on a whim, then why the hell did they all die when their planet blew up?

What was up with Kara yeah yeah yeah I get that "Brainiac must have done something to her" but what she just spills some milk and casually lays down in it. Oh and since Clark was willing to I don't know die for Lana and let the entire world be destroyed so she could be happy why didn't he just tell Lex about Brainiac. Lex has been doing more research on the subject than anyone else and he didn't have to tell him the whole story because Lex is already familiar with Milton Fine and Brainiac so just tell him she got infected or something.

Really its ridiculous. I thought that with series coming to an end they would pull out all the stops but they just decided to throw out the rules instead. No wonder those guys quit.

Hmm, interesting ep this week....lex finally has the mysterious device. and it seems to be a kryptonian gps or something, able to locate the traveller anywhere on the planet. Wonder how this will play out.

I really enjoyed the parts with lex, but as usual the parts with clark were dull and idiotic. Teage acted like a moron....i dont know why the writers can't write something that isn't childish and laughable. They should really stop trying to mix fantasy and mysticism with sci-fi.

I think that red dot on the globe is where the Fortress sits. We know Lex is going to end up there eventually, and I suspect instead of Jor'El just killing him for trespassing like what would rationally happen Lex will somehow outwit him and take control of the fortress just so we can have another lame cliff hanger ending.

It seems that the show has some sort of rule that they'll never have Clark wear the tights, etc.

Anyways, just watched the first episode of season 8...

And I have to say it was a decent episode, I might even say it was good. I'm a bit excited for this season, I think the show is due for a good one. Lana is gone, and after the show completely fucked up a completely likable character, it can only be a good thing. Lois seems to be getting more screen time, and that's a good thing.

There's Tess Mercer, who seems a bit interesting so far. There's some foreshadowing of her having some superpowers. I've also heard a ton of rumors about Doomsday. Hopefully they'll make a good character out of him.

I actually hated this episode...while the premise was good, the editing seemed abysmal. there was no flow to it and the it kept jumping from one scene to another with no transition. I also didn't like the Mercer character. Im really tired of the super cocky lex fan girls. Only lex can be that overconfident. It was a shame we didn't see flash this episode...but at the same time its good that his character wasn't tainted by this ep.
Yeah, the editing was quite bad... but I'm used to overlooking that, especially on this series' season premieres. They usually try to cram a ton of crap into the episdoe to setup the season and clean-up all the shit from the previous season finale which always ends with 3 or so cliffhangers.

As for Mercer, as I said, there seems to be some foreshadowing that she may have some superpowers. Only for that, the character seems interesting to me. If she ends up being the usual Lex fangirl, then sure... but for now I'm banking on her overconfidence being due to her being someone actually special.

In all, I had my expectation way down and what was shown was definitely better than what I was expecting. I think it's a step in the right direction, especially with Clark leaving the farm in what seems like a promise for him to be more proactive (doing the dirty work/investigations himself instead of depending on Chloe and Lana to feed him information over and over again).

SamuraiOdin

Fri, 09-19-2008, 10:19 PM

Looks like our season regulars this time around will be

Tom Welling - Clark Kent (as if that's a surprise)
Allison Mack - Chloe Sullivan
Erica Durance - Lois Lane
Aaron Ashmore - Jimmy Olson
Cassidy Freeman - Tess Mercer (It'll be interesting to compare her to Lex)
Sam Witwer - Davis Bloome/Doomsday (From what I've read, it seems they'll be doing a hulk-thing with the Doomsday character... not sure how I feel about that, have to see how it'll work out I guess)
Justin Hartley - Oliver Queen

Thus ends the list in the opening credits...

As far as what actually happened in the episode, now that I've actually seen it, I'm actually pretty pleased with the direction the new writers are taking the show, now that the old ones are gone. Seemed the Al and Miles wanted to have Clark stuck perpetually on the Farm, and were content merely alluding to his future at the Planet and such.

As for things I'd like to see this season (but probably won't...):
1) How did Clark get the job at the Daily Planet so quickly and with little on his resume? Maybe a change to bring back the Perry White character...

2) What's up with that other prisoner from the place Chloe was being held? They could have just shown an empty room when Clark looked in the window...

3) Clark mentions that he thinks J'onn will merely be out of commission for a while, whereas J'onn seems to think that he gave up his powers for good. Is this merely to protect the mythos in that J'onn does have powers in the DC Universe, or will we see his powers again in Smallville?

He should have a good resume and isn't his mom a senator. ]

2) What's up with that other prisoner from the place Chloe was being held? They could have just shown an empty room when Clark looked in the window...
I suppose we'll find out sooner or later but I really don't care.

3) Clark mentions that he thinks J'onn will merely be out of commission for a while, whereas J'onn seems to think that he gave up his powers for good. Is this merely to protect the mythos in that J'onn does have powers in the DC Universe, or will we see his powers again in Smallville?
Well at the rate Clark keeps losing his powers and then getting them back I don't see anything stopping him from doing the same, does it really matter anyway.

-Removed long rant about all the things that were wrong with this episode because really whats the point.

Anyway thank God for Supernatural.

I'm with Munsu on this one. The expectations where so low to begin with that it suprised in a good way. Last season was not good at all an i only watched because i had seen all the season up to that point so it felt mandatory to continue watching it. Also Smallville have the potential to be great. It was once. It can be again. And this actually shows promise that it's on the way up again.

I don't know what to feel about Mercer. I can't see her even get close to filling Lex's shoes but hopefully she will be the next best thing.

Also Chloe's "IQ power" could explain how she can hack in to all those computer systems that she has so far. But they will probably indicate that it's a whole new thing. Also she smoking hot. I just can't understand why Clark won't get it together with her. I mean she has it all. He's a fool. :P

I liked how after all these years they tried to explain it by her having powers of some sort, and for the longest time it was just known that she was smarter than the rest. Not to mention she lost her powers? Maybe they injected her with that stuff from her mom and it took her powers away?

I got a little excited when Queen's arrow went in slow-mo and then it just looked lame as hell when it went through him. Wasnt impressed at all and really dont care that much about the characters like I used to. They are all so expendable lately....

iMUSTbeTHEdevil

Mon, 09-22-2008, 06:57 AM

The IQ thing is recent i believe....the the pre-ep recap, they showed braniac shoving his fingers in her head and saying "what the hell are you" while looking surprised....so im thinking her healing powers somehow screwed with his systems and she now has a part of braniac in her. Thats the best explanation for her super IQ all of a sudden.

Good call. I was more or less thinking back to all the years on the show that Chloe has been able to hack into stuff like it was nothing. Especially in High School.

Well I don't know about you guys, but Lois is looking really good this season... and speaking of looking good, what about Maxima in the latest episode? Though I really didn't find her attractive with those massive eyebrows, I have to say she was very very hot for some reason.

I don't know, though still not the greatest show in the world, I'm enjoying this season quite a bit.

Tue, 10-14-2008, 10:56 PM

Bring Back Maxima! Is there a petition or something I need to sign?

Redheaded chicks are automatically hot for me but she managed to play the sex pot role remarkably well on top of that. I thought the subtle mannerisms she displayed like the way she wrinkled her lip when she saw Clark in the club really helped accentuate the smoldering sex goddess vibe that is the essence of the character. I was surprised an actress I've never heard of could pull off such an amazingly hot characterization but not seem to have many pictures even remotely approaching her hotness in this role.
Funny I absolutely hated it, waste of screen time. We've seen this situation atleast three times before with Lana in place of Lois.

As to the rest of the cast and the stories I'm still feeling meh. Chloe's super smarts are interesting, but I still can't stand Jimmy and he seems to appear with her a lot. Mercy is proving to be easy on the eyes but I don't like her arrogance the way I tolerated Lex's. The mysterious e-mail sender did pique my interest but I figure we'll be getting jerked around on that front for at least a few more weeks before we find out anything more.
Meh, indeed. I've seen every single episode of this show and to me it just seems like they are rehashing old scripts from the earlier seasons, when this show was actually good. I'm pretty much just watching this because its on before Supernatural and I figure I've been watching it since it premiered so I should see it through.

I was beginning to wonder if we were ever going to see Jimmy, since the season began we kept hearing about his engagement to Chloe and his relationship with Chloe and how much Chloe loves him but we hadn't so much as heard his voice since the first episode of the season and even then I only remember him being there for that one scene where he proposed to her after she was rescued.

Munsu

Sat, 10-18-2008, 09:09 AM

Hmm, this week's episode kinda had a Saw setup. Interesting how they forced Lois to openly admit that she loves Clark, I wonder how far they'll go with it this season.

I know it had been speculated previously that this might be the last Smallville season, but I have a feeling that it'll last more. From the looks of it, the ratings are up from last year if not mistaken, and this season it kinda has a new setup, so it feels a bit like a fresh start.

Of course, this is not the best show out there, and it's a shadow of its early seasons, but I'm enjoying this season quite a bit. Surely, I'm enjoying a whole lot more than last season.

That much is definitely true. And it definitely doesn't feel like a final season to me. I've been thinking that since the first episode, it just isn't what you would expect from a show that is in its final season. What with all the new characters and plots they are introducing, although that doesn't really mean much. It'd be nice if the show gets two more seasons since things seem to be looking up, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

As for this episode I thought it was pretty good, far better than last's week atrocity, okay atrocity is a bit much but whatever. As for Lois and Clark, I really hope he doesn't actually believe that she managed to beat the lie detector. He should know better than that and even if she did manage to, why not just say no. I know Clark is not too quick on the uptake when it comes to women, Chloe is proof enough of that, but he should see whats there this time around.

What's going on people, Smallville has been good for the last three weeks and yet no one has posted. Well at least we got an answer to the whole Davis thing, and looks like things are going to pick up next week.
Looks like we'll be seeing some Doomsday action soon.

Other than Davis, I really wonder who the bad guys are in all of this. I know they're trying to shove Tess on us, but for some reason I don't see her as being the evil chick they want us to think she is. Sure, she has a moral gray area, but I'm pretty sure that she really believes in what she's doing. Kinda like Lex in the earlier seasons, but her nature isn't to be "evil" as Lex was.

Once Doomsday progresses enough, I wonder if Brainiac what Brainiac will do... I think part of his plan is to take control of the thing. Seeing Chloe kill the guy in the hospital to protect Clark was cool to see.

One thing though, I'm quite tired of all the Superman teasing.... even if they don't want him wearing tights and what not, they should really jump and make him Superman already. I mean, how many "subtle" hints do the audience needs? They are all over the episodes week after week. Make it happen already.

Munsu

Fri, 11-14-2008, 07:49 AM

Last night's episode was interesting...

We get the Fortress back, and just when things seem hopeful, Brainiac is up to his old tricks. We also have Chloe no longer knowing Clark's secret... I wonder where they're going with that, and if that's simply another step into making Clark the real Superman.

I also wonder if this was Brainiac's plan all along, and if the crystal was part of it. It took Clark to the prison, forcing Chloe to overuse her Brainiac powers. Brainiac started screwing up with Chloe forcing Clark to use his crystal to make the Fortress, in order to force him to take Chloe there (and Brainiac) so that Brainiac could take over the Fortress. So, how much of this was planned by Brainiac and how much of it was him making the best out of the chances he was given? I'm also still wondering how the whole Doomsday thing relates to him.

Something interesting is that Davis and Chloe always seemed to have an attraction manufactured by Brainiac. Still Chloe kissed him at the end of the episode... so the interesting part of this is that Chloe might just like him without Brainiac's influence, but the other side of it is that Chloe might just have a portion of Brainiac inside of her... who knows.

Mon, 11-17-2008, 11:42 PM

Well there's a lot of things i don't like. Like Chloe and her memory. I hope she won't fall in to the shadows now. The thing i would be hoping for would be now that she forgot about Clark her old crush on him would flare up and that could have made some interesting times. But since Clark is gonna hook up with Lois at some point and that whole relationship has already been set in motion that will never happen.

I really hope this whole Doomsday thing will be awesome. At least Chloe is still tied to that one it seems. Also i enjoy a Tess Mercer free episode. It the beginning i had hopes for her but right now i don't think of her more then an annoyance.

Munsu

Fri, 11-21-2008, 12:40 PM

Yeah, I don't think that's the actor. I liked the romantic portions of the episode myself. I liked the Lois and Clark interactions. What I don't like is the way they keep hinting to as to their fate. They keep trying to throw "subtle" hints to the Superman mythology that it's getting annoying. I know they're trying to do a shoutout to the fans of the comics, etc. but you don't have to fill each episode with 20 refferences to the Lois and Clark pairing, to the real Superman, etc.

Abdula

i didn't like the romantic overtones.
What you talking bout Willis. I didn't mind the romantic overtones in this episode, in fact I liked them because they were really well done. Besides it was a wedding episode, what did you expect?

Lois' scenes were just golden, from the first scene with Jimmy, to her choking up when she thought Clark was declaring his love for her, to that scene with her and Clark in the hospital. Thats just great writing.

So the devil is back huh, and she seems to be involved in yet another scheme. Oh well thats enough about Lana.

Then we get to the best part of this episode. Doomsday. He was just awesome.

Those last two scenes were incredibly creepy. Chloe's smile and then Lex.

Shadow Skill

Sat, 11-22-2008, 06:02 AM

I think the Animated Doomsday movie was made to follow the comic part of where Doomsday kills Superman. With massive changes to the story though. Maybe they figured if they kept it original, it'd be too gruesome. :P

I didnt mind it, I think they could have done without the kidnapping Chloe part as well as the part that he somehow knew to go to the Fortress of Solitude. If they kill Superman off with this cheezy arc, where he gets reborn and stuff, I'll hate WB forever.

They couldn't have done without the kidnapping Chloe part its too significant to the plot, besides they set it up like three episodes ago and it gives Clark a good reason to go after Doomsday. We know how he is about going after bad guys.

And as for him knowing to go to the fortress, Brainiac did put up a beacon after he took over the fortress.

I just read in in EW that Tom Welling is nearing a deal for a 9th season... so Smallville may be not done yet. And I agree, I think the series should continue now that it has picked up some steam. I was sure that the series should end this season for the better, but after watching this season I think they can milk it for some more and keep it entertaining.

Remember, next week the show returns.

Pretty much my thoughts on it. They also setup a possible arc in the future at some point. That should be interesting. Lana wasn't annoying in this episode. I'm glad Chloe has her memories back. That shot of Doomsday in the end was great, though I wonder what effects it will have since he wasn't incubated as long as he should've.

Abdula

Fri, 01-16-2009, 10:59 AM

That shot of Doomsday in the end was great, though I wonder what effects it will have since he wasn't incubated as long as he should've.
I think its pretty much cut and dry. His body is transformed though not fully so he is not as powerful as he was and he still has all or some of his memories back so he is eventually going to go looking for Chloe and maybe have a few more blackouts and cause some ruckus along the way. Eventually he is going get Clark's attention and they'll come up with a plan to disable him before he's 100 and is indestructible.

I thought Chloe getting her memories back was fantastic. Frankly we've have too many seasons of him trying to hide his powers from her and or Lex and Lana, can't go back to that dribble

Shadow Skill

Fri, 01-16-2009, 09:21 PM

I thought that episode was a bit... cumbersome.

The dialogue.. no tights, no flights, etc etc. Obviously to point out that, I believe, is only for the first 8 seasons. So if a season 9 is to happen. We might actually see some tights and flights.

I guess that depends on the type of deal that is struck. I hope DC finally allows Clark to fly if a season 9 happens. The story lines that could happen if he was able to fly is almost limitless in nature. I believe they can do without the cape and tights. :P

Doomsday being half matured... I figured that would happen. Young Clark and young Doomsday... Obviously when neither one is at full power.

Those 3 time travellers, I thought they came in his teen years, not his early adult/Twenty years. :/

I'll hope for a season 9 while watching sason 8. I believe after 8 seasons, it's about time Clark flies. :P

Last night's episode we get introduced to Supercop.

Some highlights, seeing the Mars dude again, though I was hoping for an episode solely focused on him and how he's adapting to his new way of life. I thought the Tess-Lana catfight was pretty good, Lana is kicking some butt... Tess looks fatter or am I imagining things? Since the last episode, there seems to be a lot of focus on Justice and the code... so it's like Clark is making a list of rules to follow. Lex has been spying on Tess through some implant, and she's going to kill Luthercorp. Lana and Clark got it on.

Where's Lois? She's been nowhere to be found in the last two episodes... I like her.

It was an ok episode except for one thing. Clark's stupidity and Lana's annoying presence. The end ruined it for me. I actually was disappointed when that cop asked Clark if he got someone that made it all worth it. I actually expected him to go to Lois but i should have known that he would let his dick run the show and he ran to Lana like the whipped little boy he is. And even when he talked with her i expected him to close that chapter so that he and Lois could get it on. But no. Disappointed time and time again.

Tess started to become as annoying as Lana but she redeemed herself some by going against Lex. But how long do you think she will have now that she has threatened Lex company and in a way him too?

Sat, 01-24-2009, 10:11 AM

Ok ep all in all. I really like Lana, and the ass kicking was nice, but I am over the whole "Clark and Lana" thing. It is time for Lois to move in and stake her claim...

Still think that Lana was preggo...

Why, oh why, did Lana have to come back.... (and a huge lawl at Kreuk playing Chun-Li in the upcoming Streetfighter Chun-Li pic, seriously, what kind of retard thought that was good casting?)

And where the fuck is Lois?

Less Lana, More Lois.

/over and out

Abdula

Sun, 02-01-2009, 10:56 AM

I think they need to get Kruek off the show because the writers are obviously infatuated with her and can't help themselves when she is around and the director and everyone else just goes along with it. That is the only way to explain what happens to Smallville when she is in it. It really is ridiculous, any episode she is in she somehow becomes the central focus. Take the episode two weeks ago Chloe is infected by Brainac, The Legion pays Clark a visit from the future and yet that episode still ended up being about Lana, its sad.

Munsu

Sun, 02-01-2009, 12:42 PM

I think she'll be gone soon... this is probably kinda of a final goodbye, somehow to get Clark some closure with her relationship, so we can go forward with the whole Lois thing.

Munsu

Fri, 02-06-2009, 06:40 PM

Clark is finally suiting up and changing in telephone booths. Tess knows who he is. I found it hilarious that Clark wanted to get her drunk. I think this was the first episode that I liked Jimmy, and I liked how he called Chloe out.

But man, what the fuck are they doing with Lois, they just brought her back and once again is missing from an episode. Give her more consistency.

I dont think that they are trying to keep people on their toes as much as they dont know how to have all the characters in a single ep and give them all screen time. You should always show her walking out the door or doing something really random, just to have her there.

And I missed the part where Clark jumped out of the plane. I am assuming that he just fell to the earth and didnt fly. This show is such a cock tease sometimes.

Smallville returned last night.

Lois becomes a superhero called Stilleto, and Jimmy gets his ass kicked. Chloe is a complete mess at the moment. I liked the phone call between Lois and the Red-Blue Blur at the end of the episode.

Abdula

Fri, 04-24-2009, 11:53 AM

It's nice to get back to the whole Lois and Clark thing and yeah the phone call at the end was nice. It's funny how Chloe keeps getting herself into these situations and you would think I would be tired of seeing them by now but they just fit her character so well.

iMUSTbeTHEdevil

Fri, 04-24-2009, 12:15 PM

I agree, I liked the call quite a bit. I liked how it ended up being less about a story and more about offering a friendship. It didnt seem like she wanted to exploit him and that was cool.

Chloe is going to have a break down here shortly and by the looks of it Clark seems pretty damn pissed about her leaving with Davis. I just hope that they didnt lump 2 weeks worth of previews into one again.

Penner

Sat, 04-25-2009, 05:41 PM

The phonecall at the end was indeed a nice touch.

it must really suck to be Chloe now tho, having to dispose of mangled human remains, and she can't really do much about it since Mr. Doomsday living in her basement is apparently immortal and if she stops being with him he goes berserk killing everything including Clark.

Well, last episode was pretty much Chloe centric. I have to say, she pissed me off throughout much of the episode... recovered a bit towards the end. Hopefully she's not another Lana in the making.

With that said, 2 more episodes to go for the finale and from the clips and previews I've seen around, they're going to be awesome, exciting, and action packed.

Really? I didnt see any previews at the end of the last ep.

Looked them up. The finale (http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/05/atv-spoiler-ale.html) looks really good.

Last week's episode was alright, you could tell that it wasn't Chloe from the get go... who do you guys think is giving order to Tess? And no Lois again...

Finale tonight, and I expect that as every Smallville finale, we'll have like 5 different cliffhangers with characters put in very difficult deadly positions... maybe some character deaths too.

I can just see Jimmy jumping in out of no where and getting killed trying to protect Chloe. I wouldnt be surprised if the big cliff hanger is that Lex is still alive and giving orders. If not him than someone else from the DC Universe.

Munsu

Thu, 05-14-2009, 02:53 PM

Well by 5 or so cliffhangers, I mainly mean multiple characters in the verge of death or something. Somehow it's the same every year, every character of importance is in the middle of some catastrophe racing against the clock. We'll see tonight.

Yukimura

Thu, 05-14-2009, 03:21 PM

According to the grapevine someone who is a 'Smallville veteran' is dying tonight, no word on if they're staying dead though. My money and hopes are for it to be Jimmy. I'm predicting the cliff hangar will be Clark and the evil half of Doomsday get sent to the PZ or something at the hands of some third party villain (Braniac? Lex clone in a new body?) while all the other characters are like oh noez since they're stuck with whoever was left behind.

iMUSTbeTHEdevil

Thu, 05-14-2009, 08:02 PM

Aside from Jimmy dying as I predicted, it like the ep. Although not showing more of the Clark/Doomsday fight was lame. I did like how Clark just left at the end and is swearing off humans. The whole Lois lost in time could be pretty cool. If she ends up in the future she can see what is going to happen and not only warn Clark, but know his secret!

RIP Jimmy - You did what you had to do!

That is the only thing I cared about. Well that and Zod finally showing up, I was wondering how they were going to top Doomsday. The rest of the episode was too predictable and in some places just plain boring, or maybe I was just too tired to care. Well whatever, next season should be fun.

the local tv finally finished with season 8. I'll try to get the episodes from the internet next season...

do they hate the viewers in endless hate, or are they just that bad at this thing?

they could have at least shown us the entire fight between clarck and jerkhead. they owe us after running away from dealing with brainac. and now my brother wants to beat me up, because the producers are too far away.
I don't understand it myself. Overall I thought it was a strong season. But, after a real promising first handful of episodes, the series deviated from what it was working... Clark as a newbie reporter and a lot of Lois.

Munsu

Sat, 09-26-2009, 09:00 AM

Smallville returned with its new season last night. Overall a good episode I thought, though I thought it would've been better. Still on the fence on how this season will turn out, it could really go either way at the moment.

Brian Austin Green is on as mentioned already playing Metallo. Clark is finally learning how to really use his superpowers, still can't fly (though trying to learn). I like the Chloe and Clark conflict, particularly when Clark refuses to go and save Jimmy.

And Zod is back, being played by Callum Blue who you might remember from Dead Like Me. I really like him, though I don't know how I feel about him playing Zod at the moment.

So who's still watching? I don't know how I feel about it being on Friday nights... I hope the ratings don't suffer much.

Penner

Sat, 09-26-2009, 10:14 AM

Ya i watched it earlier today, good solid ep.
Sometimes i like the guy playing Zod, other times i don't... i kinda think they could have done better.

And yeah, good for Clark refusing to save Jimmy, cause it was Jimmy's death that triggered Clark real hero motivation, if he's saved, Clark might return to regular farmboy Clark again.

And how ridiculously hot was Lois when she ran to the phonebooth, all sweaty in her white tanktop and jeans.. good lord ;D

Abdula

Sat, 09-26-2009, 11:30 AM

So watched this episode with zero expectations and it didn't disappoint, sadly it didn't impress me either. I like that Clark is separating himself from the humans because I think the focus on Clark and his relationships with Chloe, Lois, Lana, etc is one the things that was holding the series back but from Lois' memory of the future it doesn't seem that that is going to last too long.

What I really liked about this episode was Clark in black, that looked really good but that doesn't seem like it's going to last too long either, and the fact that Clark is finally trying to master his powers which also doesn't seem like it's going to last too long. Other than that this season doesn't seem like it's going to be any different from any of the previous seasons, especially since those two things I just mentioned along with everything else from this episode has been done before. So I'm not all too interested.

I'll follow it for as long as Brian Austin Green is there because I think him playing Metallo is cool, but I'm really not expecting much on that front because we've already seen Jensen Ackles from Supernatural as Jason Teague, and Sam Witwer as Doomsday and James Marsters as Brainac so this is just another attempt on their part to increase viewership by bringing in a popular actor to play the role of a major villain for a season or whatever. I really don't care for Callum Blue as Zod. Hell I don't even care that Zod and a bunch of Kryptonians are on Earth because that too, has been done before.

Smallville really just isn't much without Lex Luther.

Logrus

Sun, 09-27-2009, 05:15 AM

Yeah that Clark had a diffrent outfit after 8 years was kinda cool. But i told myself if he doesnt lift off and fly away in the first 5 mins of the show i wouldnt watch it ever again so this is a Good bye Smallville post :)

Death BOO Z

Mon, 09-28-2009, 05:22 PM

yay, I'm joining the current discussion!

the zodd part took me by surprise, he says "Kneel before Zodd" and is then smacked by his men, priceless.

of course, later on, they shit on logic and common sense. "the last thing I remember is a blood check before the battle" and instead of following the normal tv logic and realizing that they're genetically engineered humans with the memories of kryptonian men. they decide it must mean that their home planet was destroyed. that's a kinda stupid conclusion to reach.

at first I thought that the time traveling was really stupid, but then I realized I wasn't thinking about it right. I expected both Tess and Louise/Lois to time travel to the same era, and it hasn't happen. however, I have a theory that Louise/Lois won at their fight.

Tess and Louise/Lois stood in front of each other, and started charging their battle auras and screaming, then they rushed towards each other and fists hit simultaneously, Louise/Lois was thrown back 3 weeks into the future (which is the current episode), but Tess was slammed about a year ago, back to time the Krypton army was alive.

It makes absolutely no sense.

Again, Louise/Lois, why did it take her so long to figure out the guy wasn't a cop (or any officer of the law)? wasn't the kiss a dead giveaway? or is she just that used to being sexually assaulted?

and now, something that bugs me. Chloe was going mad because Louise/Lois was gone for three weeks. Tess is the manager of the largest, most influential company in the country (and the top newspaper), and nobody asked what happened to her during those three weeks? no stocks crash, no hostile take over, no "Our manager is gone!" headlines?

and last of all, Ninja girl. that's like any other season of Smallvile. somebody shows up, and right before he dies, says something that can change everything. We're not falling for this again.

edit: to below. yes. no.

Because she wasn't missing. Her subordinate knew where she was, and they can easily place a temp manager in the Daily Planet and make some excuse about her being in vacation or some crap. This is definitely not the only time she has been away from the company for a stretch of time to deal with some other shady business.

and they've copied "the mentalist" with the "use keywords to make the witness spill out what really happened" instead of, you know... using those interactions to show us what a good team Lois and Clark could be.

Also, they expect us to believe that a guy who designs mostly toys and explosives, somehow has the necessary knowledge in biology to attach a robotic heart (made from a substance he knows nothing about) to a living being. without a lab.

As usual, whenever Oliver's saying anything, you can just dub "I'm Batman" over it and it'll make far better sense.

and the whole "you sound like my mother on prom night" comment from Lois... well, I happen to remember that her mom died really early on. when she was around six years old.
Even if it's just a term of speech, I don't think that's what a person who lost his parent at a young age would say.

I really liked the part when Clark interrupts the "form of an [animal name]..." and sends the incest twins unconscious, everything else reeked from batman-copying.

and way to go for Chloe, they took another step in derailing her. and why would she be so stupid to take two amazingly strong people to her watchtower without having anyone to defend her? why not use Oliver (as Green arrow) instead?

also, she threatens to delete the twitter and facebook accounts, truly, a master hacker.

Clark is still as dumb as fuck. Tess is still the bitch she's been since she first appeared (yet everybody fails to see it, probably because she has a great ass), Lois makes another comment about her prom.

And Clark says he learns from his mistakes... did he learn from the time he tried making friends with Lex? from the time he tried making friends with Lionel? from the last time he met Zod?
or all the other times he gave up on his friends advice and chose to pursue a relationship with someone who previously stated how much he would like to kill Clark.

and also, countless acts of random stupid, or discontinuity and completely missing the point (way to go, asshole, couldn't you at least given Chloe a different name when she calls you? remember, your supposed to be her "spy"?)

I'm with Death Boo Z on the Smallville Trainwreck Express. The only reason I still watch is the combination of nostalgia factor and curiosity at how retarded the characters, especially Clark, can get. Haven't mustered the resolve to watch the most recent ep though but I'll get around to it eventually.

If he doesnt fly by the end of this season, I'm going to quit watching Smallville.

Same formulaic stories the only thing that changes are the characters and maybe the actors who portray them. At least if he can fly, they can write up new stories. I guess maybe they don't get paid to think.

I think after this season, if it the series stays as it is, it's dead.

it was a great episode (90 minutes, and only 10 of them were Lois) which proved that the secret for success was there all the time: Clark, Chloe, and one other character.
let them smile and talk to each other, and see how everything turns out great.

I have no idea who the JSA were, and who the checkers or the suicide squad are, but it looks like they trying to pad up Tess'ss role, now that people started seeing that killing her would be the best idea ever.

more filler. and more geeky things to point out.
it's getting ridiculous, it's fun to spot out a single reference in an episode, but when it's filled with (starwars, Naruto, BG...) it's just redundant, like the series is saying "Look, here's some shiny geek stuff, you like shiny geek stuff, don't you?"

moving on, it was stupid. and dumb.

finally, a GOOD episode.
and you know why?
because Clark didn't speak with Lois.
sure, it had bad points, like how the super soldier kryptoninans turned into classic damsels right away (although Lois acted kinda reasonably), or how Jesus Clark was.. Jesus Clark.

and still, it had a strong plot, with no clear villain (nobody was innocent, both the kidnapper and the kidnappies were at fault), and Zodd was a much better journalist than Clark (Clark worked with brute force of intimidation, Zodd had style)
you'd think that the good guys team (Chloe, Olivier, MM, Clark, and the rest of the new JLA) would have talked to each other here and there, especially after they've taken down the twin towers.
but no.

and jesus clark.

but still, a good, even great episode

edit: oh, I forgot, didn't Clark ever see Charlies angels (the remake)? if a guy is supposedly in super pain, he can't catch a ball or grip well. Zod pracitcally gave his secret away, and still Clarks an idiot.

I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. And now the series is taking a break until April, which makes no sense to me. They build up towards this good episode, just to lose the current steam it's having? More importantly, why the heck air the episodes against the Olympics just to take a break when they're over?

Here's a teaser for what's coming up:

Sat, 04-03-2010, 06:31 PM

for the first time this season, I actually liked all the relationship drama. even TW and ED worked well (compared to the usual bad romance between them). nice to see Clark addressing the problem of him and lois in bed.. his father taught him how to control himself...
must have been awkward.

anyway, I didn't like Zodd and Tess. Tess is like the epitome of the 'crazy woman', does she really think their (hers' and zodd's) goals have a common ground? does she get off so much from being choked? (which is similar to what clark did to her earlier this season, take this how you like).
she's been getting less reasonable by the minute.

also... silver banshee? I'm guessing their a DC character behind that, but it just seemed lame. can't the great and powerful superman even defeat one undead ghost? it's not like he couldn't outrun her cry vortex, despite him taking extra damage, he should be able to scream back at her.
I can see why they have to banish her (else Lois would be dead if the ghost simply exploded while possessing her... which is exactly what happened) with plot device, but hell, it's superman. he should be able to take her on his own.

edit: yeah. I almost forgot. chloe saying that she and Oliver have a 'no gifts, no flowers' rule. despite the fact he brought her a shitload of flowers in the previous episode (Valentines one? I think). but nice of them to mention Bart, maybe one day we'll get to see him.

Death BOO Z

Sat, 04-10-2010, 06:53 PM

Scene by scene 'live' feed of my thoughts!
so... they blew more money on special effects for the scene before the opening song than they did for last season climax? or than any other episode other than Absolute Justice this season?
and their entire plan was that Oliver is an idiot dick, and that he'll save her, rather than the Blur or who not (what if one of metropolin's normal citizen would have tried to help?)

2nd scene: protocol? since when? since offscreen, I guess. didn't we see Chloe and Clark do the crime fighting in perfect snyc last week? I hate this show.
come on clark. get your shit together. you ain't a child anymore, FLY.

damn shit. EVERY scene with Tess makes me wanna take a plain to USA and punch who ever wrote this show. I don't care if Check is a comic thing or not, it makes no sense inside the context of the show. I want to PUNCH them, so hard it hurts.
oh, the cruel fate of non regulars. once they get a line in the episode, the death is only a matter of time. sometime it's subtle, sometimes it's not.
hey, you dumbface idiots. she skipped couple of check ins? was it the three months she was in the future? or the two years she spent on an island? Tess is a broken character.

are you all running the idiot lane today? I'm pretty sure that chloe can pull out the death records and see it's cyanide. and even if not, JJ can read minds, he should be smarter that this. and Oliver, so you remember you own Luthercorp... care to do something about the twin towers of doom (I mean, sure, clark destroyed them, but you could have acted sooner). oh, I remember, that belongs to the other plot of the season. with krypton, and zodd, and a different character named Tess.

they did not just do the same dialog out of Batman returns, tell me I was imagining it.

well, hello there, mass storage of weapons, in the house of someone who has no problems killing. my, the great superman would probably want to destroy some of them guns, right? no? he's just gonna let that kick in the ass later, I guess.

really? marsman has a problem with flames? I may not have been around when he had his time in the spotlight, but that seems really out of place, and why are the so much after the blood sample? or rather, why again? we did this shit seven years (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SevenYearRule) ago, didn't we?

again with abusing tess? clark's a dick. and why should it surprise Oliver that Tess knows clarks identity? I think that it should have come up when they were discussing what to do with Davis ("Oliver, I won't kill Him, despite what you and Tess want me to!") or when they were thinking of plans what to do about Zod ("She knows about us Kryptoniens, and she wants me to 'save' the world!"). and Tess screaming gets the 'bad acting award' for this episode. the competition was fierce, but she made it to the bottom. clark get's 2nd place, for saying he doesn't believe her, despite we all know he believes everything anyone ever said.

Johns again? hmmm... he made it out of the flames with no effect on the episode, how delightful...
clark... oh clark, how much of an asshead are you? you stormed the castle (no pun intended) to save chloe, and what do you do? go chitchat instead. assface.

so, the show remembers other people exist, they just don't want to show us they do.

oh, my dear asshead clark. you can super hear through walls. but you couldn't try looking for her during the stupid conversation? oh no. the animation budget run out!

I envy them so much, I wish I could forget watching this show..

oh, again with Offscreenville. watching Olvier get into the building and shutting it down might have been nice, so why we would they?

remember how Lex had a live feed of whatever Tess sees? why would he give his company to an enemy spy? god, she's a slut. clark, zod, Oliver. is there a guy she didn't get hot for?

and from here on, DRAMA.

Red K should have turned clark into a more impulsive guy, not more EVIL (sure, I can see how clark would like to see Lex in Zod, but I'd expect him to go out and have sexy fun with Lois, like any other redK episode).

speaking of, the less screen time Lois and Clark have together, the better the bits they do get are. I'm actually liking them now.

and yes, Jesus Zod!

edit: and yes, it's totally believable that Lois, a competent reporter, would have a silverline recording pen (http://gadgets.softpedia.com/gadgetsImage/The-Digital-Voice-Recorder-Pen-USB-Flash-3-19924.html) instead of something, you know , professional. those things are crap, trust me.

Death BOO Z

Sat, 05-01-2010, 06:58 PM

I'm filling up the page, because no one else watches this horrible show.

first wallbanger: The Kandorians are the first chance Clark has for a real family.
I'm not going into the problem of Clark having his adoptive parents, one of them still alive (and due to showing up in the near future), his grandfather (who showed up once in the 2nd season), and his friends. but he had Kara. for two whole seasons.

1. Chloe and Tess are locked inside a fridge together! maybe they'll have to cuddle for warmth?
I'm pretty sure all the computer babble didn't make any sense, but I'll let that one slide (although, seriously? you can't turn the internet access off? at least turn off some computer screens to reduce the heat?), but the fact that Chloe spent a fortune upgrading the security last week... it's just like how every time we see a Lois enter a car, we know there's going to be an accident.
moving on, there's a camera bug inside Tess... didn't we do this one before? when Lex had eyes bugged?
you know, this reminds of the time chloe discovered her krypto power (how did she lose them, anyway?), some evil dude put a GPS transmitter in her. and she and clark had a touching moment of trust (in an episode that revolved around them two).
a couple of illogical scenes later (with horrible dialog that made me want to punch Tess), and we have a retelling of this, with Chloe impaling Tess with a giant needle.
a short break.... who didn't get to stick something inside Tess during her two seasons of action?
Lex (eye bug), Chess (hack bug), Oliver (obvious), Zod (obvious) and now Chloe.
I'd pay good money to see a movie with Alison Mack 'impaling' whoever Tess actress is.
and Chloe has a dilemma about bringing Tess back. remember this one.

2. Zod, his wife, his wife's sister, and kendorians.
so, that's some good relationship values Faora (zod's girlfriend) has, she doesn't mind him hitting that fine Tess ass?
it seems that grabbing a woman by the neck is a cultural thing for the alien race, it's not that clark is an ass, he's just following his genetics. good thing that Zod aborted Davis, though, we wouldn't want another evil alien coming to hunt us in 2030 (the 30th season of smallvile: television-is-doomed day)
every single alien can fly. what does clark do? sulk because he invited Zod to his special place and now Zod has called all the cool kids there and they had a party without inviting him.

3. Oliver. poor, poor oliver.
Zod has powers, what can a single, non freak man like you do?
apparently, enough. I salute thee.
despite what clark said, Oliver has nothing to be ashamed of in his morals.

3.5 Chloe & Oliver vs Clark.
heroes, who had their sworn enemies on death bed, and refused to kill despite wanting to, simply due to their loyalty (Oliver to Clark, Chloe to her word).
and on the red\blue\blurry corner. Clark. who when faced with a chance to lay his case as to why the super powered men shouldn't kill and conquer the world, decided to ask for someone else to do the talking.
Chloe and Oliver have the moral high-ground, they help people despite their better judgment. Clark did bring Zod back to life, I agree, but it makes a better argument for me if I say that it's only because he liked having Zod around to stroke his... ego.

4. Chess, the most incompetent secret organization since the ANBU.
first of all, why not mention the black king? you know, your colleague that had to go into hiding last week. it's not much, but it would give me a feeling that someone is watching this show.
second order of buisness. you finally get through the pesky firewall you've trying to hack the past five months, and then something else happens, why not send a different team to deal with it? are you so low on vechiles that you can't spare one? who only has three agents, who proabably aren't proffesional soldiers and couldn't do much good in operation "cut off the aliens head, do not try to learn their superior knowledge of the world".

Clark is useless. he can't put up a fight, he can't flare up a good idea, he can't even give a good reason as to why the kendoerian-human war is a bad thing.

you really believe that?

heck, I'd be surprised if that really is clark and not Zod blur. who wants to get back at clark for killing \ hitting his woman (be it Faora or Tess).

Why did they get Lois and Clark's jobs back? it was such a great thing when they didn't have to pretend to care about shit. at least, they could give only one of them the job back. heck, why does clark even want a job?

I really wish they would have let chloe go this episode, have her say "I can't hide from the world anymore, I need to start over" and move her to Gotham or somewhere.

they say the book of rao is a science thing, but really, it can't differentiate between people? that's a magical wand, people.

I hate this show, and I can't stop watching. I'll stop watching next week, I promise!

I thought the same thing about the arm bands. I thought that was in bad taste to say the least, a well. I am glad that Lois knows now.

Curious to know who attacked Oli though. I forgot all about blue kryptonite. Shame Clark didn't remember it either.

Yukimura

Wed, 05-19-2010, 04:06 PM

Okay that whole Blue Kryptonite thing seemed like utter contrived BS.

First of all where the heck did Zod get a perfectly formed blue kryptonite knife. I can understand how having Blue Kryptonite weapons would be much more 'humane' than green ones but generally you use a knife to kill someone not incapacitate them so why would anyone make a kryptonite knife out of anything but the green? For the purpose of making use of the blue's effect a hunk of would have made a lot more sense. I'll bet it was done this way since it was cheaper to use the same prop as the green knives and change the color of the glow effect in post production than to make/find another rock model.

Secondly, Blue Kryptonite may take away powers but it doesn't make one 'not' a kryptonian. That particular logic bomb could have been mostly avoided if they had just said the Book of Rau would transport all 'powered' kryptonians to another planet. What ever happened to Kara canonically anyway?

Once again I really wish this show would just end. They keep teasing us with glimpses of 'Superman' but since it's an ironclad rule that Superman can never really appear in this show all the times they try and hint at his mythos end up feeling like teases without that hint of 'maybe it'll really happen' that makes a proper tease actually exciting.

ignoring the notable high points of having Laura Vandervoort around...

{she's so pretty! I want to stalk her and never stop staring!}

why?
Kara was a horrible character. they had nothing to do with her. she didn't even get to hang around clark after the 4th episode.
they gave her amensia, and then brainwash, and then she was a robot. and then sent her to space, never to be heard of again.

Kara can either act as superman's mentor (teaching how to be less of an asshole and how to fly) or or a disciple of clarck on being human (not being so much of a bitch and become a useful member of society). SV clark isn't allowed to do neither of those, due to the showrunners being idiots.

A. For something to be found, it has to first exist, doesn't it?
B. They had sex mid season, we know they are involved romantically, why should a kiss between them be such an event? or maybe they're going to retcon 'booty call' into something else than sex, like how they did with Lana at season 3?
C. As if something that happened in the last five minutes of the final episode really matters. I even forgot she was hospitalized and declared dead.
D. She has been in a single episode and had two lines, why bother bringing her now? not to mention her role is to be a 'counter Lois' character. why send Lois to Africa if she's going to be in every episode of the season?
E. I'm pretty sure we've heard that word several time in earlier seasons, it's a vague spoiler that can mean nothing but tease.
F. Well, good for you, character assassinated. you've killed everyone important to her, so now it's time to send away the actress while keeping the super-google-info-expo-girl. it's fitting that this part is labeled F.

it's the first thing we heard about her.

I hate this show. So I'll be watching it every friday.

Have you considered a flashback? Or home movies.

While at all possible, I'm still sticking to what I said.

In episode 8, titled “Abandoned,” Lois discovers old videotapes of her mother. I think you can figure the rest out for yourself. Am I right?

Lol until I clicked the link I thought Cher was going to play Lois' mom which could have been hilarious.

I can't believe I'm letting myself get sucked into this again but I want to see this show end more than I tend to hate watching it. I see no hope that the image of Darkseid cultivated over the years won't be completely neutered by this season just like Doomsday was. I can only hope he isn't just an expy of Zod.

The loss of Chloe will suck for me as well they've dicked her around so much it's probably better to just let her go than to make us watch her suffer more.

A. loiss' mom on videotape: this is an example of what's wrong with Smallville. what relevance would Loiss' mom have to the plot? other than to cement the clark lois romance? I can't see the point of having a lois centered episode without actually bringing back the entire family (dad, sister, CHLOE!).

B. the new episode.
Jor-el... is a prick. Jonathan Shnieder is awesome as a father figure
Can't get why Chloe won't tell clark Oliver is lost?

Not sure, a weird idea of protecting Clark since it's him they seem to be after. Maybe she also felt responsible and wanted to handle it herself and thought that Clark would impede on her methods. Really don't know.

pictures of cats, pink clothes and insists on wearing the seatbelt?
that's how Smallville lets you know that the character is NOT COOL!

also, she has only worked in the news paper for WEEKS, and then got promoted. doesn't it remind you of Lois?, of course not, Lois is the star reporter, despite being nearly fired last season.
speaking of which, what is she doing in Kenya? and why are all the Egypt artifacts there instead of Egypt? there are three countries between them.

Cat Grant.. I liked her better last season, she seemed like a better partner for Clark, and not like a 15 years old girl.. but it wasn't Cat, it was someone else, who has a two years old son, and is targeted for... what reason? other than being Clark's new partner?
my brain hurts.

Oliver, Chloe and Tess... the plot with them is pretty straight forward stupid. it's just bad and zigg zaggy.

clark's new jacket reminds me of Jackson's "thriller" outfit. and I'm not the only one.

I liked the episode with Kara being back. It seems like there was a lot going on and I hope the show keeps up this momentum. Lois needs to tell Clark that she knows already!

Smallville fans, rejoice!

episode 200, a five year reunion to which only the losers and those who still live in Smallville attend to.

a really good episode, I have some problems with the high school setting (everybody being ga-ga about Clark, Lois being stuck up as usual, and mostly, the school kept the Torch room and hadn't moved a different club there), and I would have liked to hear about Pete, maybe have someone say he couldn't make it because he's filming a commercial, or whatever.

the rest of the episode was better, Clark was an idiot, but that's expected, and he was just an idiot, and not a douchey idiot, so it's an improvement. Masters makes every scene into a golden one.

Oliver made an attack on armchair critics, but it's ok, because he can work the part, and they did mention how bad of a friend Clark was (and currently is) to Oliver.

note: right now VH1 is playing "superman" by Goldfinger. awesome.

I liked the anime myself...

I liked tributes they made towards the first Superman film.

Did Clark fly or just float? Discuss.

I just watched the EP today and I want to say that he was indeed flying. I think that he was finally able to let every thing go like Kara told him he had to.

I think that it was a great episode. It was cool to see some of the older scenes again. I am going to miss this show.

first scene of the episode: check it out! Erica Durance in a skimpy outfit... talking to herself!

well, it figures that after a great episode we'll get to see a really, really bad one.

although Clark did somehow manage to do it in the final minute. and Tess, Oliver and Cat share a great chemistry together.

the bad points: :LOIS IS POSSESSED! but because she LOVES clark SO MUCH, things WORK OUT in the end.

sure, I get it that possessed Lois is magic, and therefore can hurt clark, but having her fly? are they trying to dick clark around? not to mention that Oliver saves clark's ass. again.

I want to see one scene in which Clark handles himself. the only times we see him using his powers decently is when protecting his secret. why can't we see clark defeating a superpowered enemy by himself? he could have easily snapped the necklace away from possessed Lois. Heck, even show us a scene in which clark and Oliver plan together to snatch away the thing while clark is the distraction...

I liked Cat better two episodes ago. and I liked the Cat from several season ago even better. does that mean I'm going to hate her next episode as much as I hate Tess?

I hate Tess, if you haven't noticed. she's a broken character, and it'd really disturbing to see how she flings herself from one man to another: Lex, Oliver, Clark, Oliver again, Amanda Waller, Zod, Oliver, Alexander (as a six year old kid). not to mention her horrible selection for child therapists, really, you bring a suit to talk with a child? are you trying to stress that poor boy? or is just so we'd know you're EVIL?

and last thing: Egypt.
I don't care. seriously, I don't care about old, ancient legends of Egyptian gods who's dicks went missing.

Isis gathered up all the parts of the body, less the phallus (which was eaten by a fish) and bandaged them together for a proper burial.
I seriously don't care, (insert YGO-TAS quote about giant rocks).
give me Lois&Clark as reporters in metropolis city. that's all I want.

There is one thing that you can expect with Smallville and that is "Filler Episodes". This one was a little different. I did not expect the information the be relayed at the end of the episode, I actually thought to myself, "Really? You still aren't going to tell her? What the hell!?!" I was pleasantly surprised when he did. And in typical Lois fashion she just had to asked "What took you so long?" Classic!

I think that Dark Seid will be defeated, but will corrupt Little Lex before dying to leave a truly evil Lex in the world at the end of the show.

Every time someone enters a car in this series something bad happens to them, still, Kudos to the team on having location shots, and on the comic conversation between Clark and Lois. Of course, dragging the tire for two miles is counter productive, and so is simply "walking" back. couldn't he ask for a ride from someone in town? I'd think it's simple courtesy to offer a lost traveler a ride to his car, and it'd be suspicious if he refused.

* A village community, conducting "harvest"? never seen this being ripped before.
* Rapid aging? didn't we see this plot before?Also, I hate Tess's character, But I adore Tess. is that weird?
* Lois in a costume? maybe it's part of ED's contract? is she a cos-player in real life?
* Little Lex has a crush. the first time he gave him a bow-tie, and the promised to be forever. that talk about Tess (which is what I've been saying all these years) was totally worth getting bitchslapped. but how did he know about Zod?
* CLARKSERUCTION! ZOMBIE CLARK! JESUS CLARK! THRILLER CLARK V2!
* PRAISE THE NAME OF SUPER JESUS!
* I'm going to stop now, unless things turn camp-stupid again.
* Oh, I remember the clone girl, Lana's super creepy friend, who lived in the cinema and killed people, through unknown powers. can't they make anti-aging clone juice into normal anti-aging cream? maybe sell it for top dollar?

* there's no middle way with them, eh? it's either "they don't have sex because they watch the great ball of yarn!" or "they do have sex, IN YOUR FACE!"
* God, I allowed myself to believe he's back, Well played, Smallville. looks like a cross between MR and female Aang.

I'm still two episodes behind the schedule, so I just now watched the episode with Terri Hatcher.
(she was an amazing Lois...)

just as I thought, video mom tells Lois to move on with clark, which is a completely plausible thing for a mother to tell her 5 years old daughter. I can't see how watching such a video at a younger age could lead to anything bad.
(also, it kinda reminded me of D.N.Angel)

stupid plots aside, Lois mom says they got the blue duck (greatest product in the world, as you remember) when they were stationed in Russia, when they found out they were pregnant with Lois.

Russia. work out the math, Lois is over 20 years old. almost 25, I have a hard time believing her dad, an army man (not a general at that time, but still, high ranking) was stationed in USSR.
sure, I guess there were American officials at embassies, and even army men, but that's stretching stuff for me.
