What was the name of the song at the end of the episode the other day? any help would be nice.

[the elmo zombie]

I Grieve Peter Gabriel

[boydston_14]

Thanks

[FVD]

Ah a great song off an amazing album. Up the album is called. His best work in years.

[OBSERVER]

Is there a site that has upcoming episode preview videos?
Just the ones that are shown at the end every week.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

yes (http://www.devotedfansnetwork.com/index.php?page=smallville)

[OBSERVER]

Thanks. I'm saving that link.


What the hell? This trailer shows Lionel punching Jonathan in the face.

[DVDAVE]

I thought the episode was ok

[FVD]

It's really sad to see Jonathan go. The bond between him and Clark was so believable. :(

[Tolkien]

You know;

I've come across a massive number of fans who keeps saying that Chloe is a bad character, and that she should die, or that she should have died instead of Jonathan, but all of them are wrong. Dead wrong. If you look at her character, and her part that she ultimately takes in the series, she is very much needed.

For One; Clark Kent, and Louis Lane are in no way, interested in Journalism, what-so-ever. Clark writes here and there, and Louis, well, she's got that instinct about her, but they have no real heart for Journalism as of yet. Chloe is their only connection to the Daily Planet, and to Journalism. Before her time ends, she has got to interest them, somehow. I think that she will be the one to set their sights at becoming Journalists.

Secondly; Clark Kent has given up his destiny (if I'm correct), several times already, and if it weren't for Pete and Chloe, he'd be off track. When Pete was around, he always helped Clark get back on track, and do what's right. And now, with Chloe knowing his secret, she's constantly telling him that he's a natrual-born Hero. When he lost his powers, it was Chloe who kept him going, helping him to realize that he was a Hero, with or without his powers.

So finally, in closing, it is my very strong belief that Chloe cannot die, nor can she move on, without being that guide for both Clark Kent, and Louis Lane. She needs to be the one who will eventually guide their way into Journalism, and finally, into the Daily Planet. Then... Sadly... If it must come down to it, she can be killed off. But when that time comes... I won't watch her go. Her and Jonathan were the two best things in Clarks life, whether he knows it or not.

You can't be 'dead wrong' when it comes to an opinion.

And for the record, it's LOIS Lane, not Louis.

personally i think its going to be chloe's death that will being clark and lois to journalism

[FVD]

It certainly looks that way.

[Neverending]

Chloe doesn't need to die. What she needs is some ****. The girl is desperate, man! Has she gotten laid yet?

[GreenvilleTexan]

Yep, lost her virginity to ... Jimmy Olsen!:omg:

[Spirited Away]

Yeah, her and Jimmy Olsen. It's never shown on camera, as it happened during Chloe's internship at the Planet, and Jimmy is only referenced to through his clothing.

[Rogue]

I really like Chloe. She's one of my favorite characters. I feel bad for her though. As the others have said..can't we get the girl some love?!

[FVD]

Yes Chloe is really cute. It's a pity that Pete left. He was apparently in love with her and yet nothing happened.

And for the record... that is the ONLY thing I mis-spelled. It's a habit, since I went to Saint "Louis" high school. lmao. And I didn't mean to add the "dead Wrong" point, I just ment wrong. I sometimes like to add dramatic effect to my writing. I blame it on my Creative Writing classes.

[Tornado]

It's all good, I do the same things. I too blame it on my Creative Writing class.

Possibility For Another Smallville Couple?

Move over, Lex and Lana... The L.A. Daily News has spoken to actor John Glover (Lionel) with some hints about some upcoming show developments.

It seems that now that Jonathan Kent is out of the way, Lionel Luthor and Martha Kent may become closer in the future. "I'm wooing her now. We're having a great time," Glover told the paper about the scenes they're currently filming.

Glover is also excited to act with his good friend Annette O'Toole, who in real life is married to actor Michael McKean (Perry White). "I've become her Canadian husband. Michael is fine with it," Glover said.

Just a reminder, 513 - Vengeance airs tonight.

[OBSERVER]

It's too bad that Christian Bale could not have been in this episode.

And no, I am not saying that he was ever supposed to.

[Tornado]

I think it would have been better to see a younger Bruce Wayne tonight instead of this 'rip-off of Wonder Woman without actually calling her Diana' Andrea character.

But I'm still looking forward to seeing tonight's episode.

[Neverending]

Tonight's episode was interesting. Kinda dark...I like that.

[WuTical]

Tonight was real good

next week just looks weird

[Tornado]

513 - Vengeance

While it wasn't the best episode of the season, I certainly did like it quite a bit, but a lot of that is due to the last five minutes. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention or I was tuning out or something, but I was pretty lost about halfway through and didn't really know what was going on. Maybe somebody else can answer this for me, why did Lex care so much about the whole deal in China?

To be honest, I'm happy with the way the episode turned out. I can't really describe what I'm thinking (and trust me, I tried, this is about the fourth or fifth re-write for this paragraph), but there were definitely things that just sort of 'worked out' much better than I thought they would. The whole deal with the watch was pretty great. Clark and Martha watching the old home movie, and Clark just breaking down and crying was fantastic. I was kind of disappointed that he didn't show any emotion at the funeral, so seeing it here tonight was fulfilling in that aspect.

While I'm still not sure they (Gough and Millar) picked the right character for the death (I would have preferred Lana to be honest) I must admit I do like the way the show is heading. It seems more... 'adult' in its nature, which is something new for the show as far as I'm concerned. Most of the past episodes have ended with the whole "we've been depressed the entire episode, but now everything is working out and the world is right again" style, and it's nice to see a couple of episodes that are not season finales but have ended on a depressing note anyway.

As for the actual plot not involving Jonathan/the watch, I thought the episode was pretty forgettable. Andrea was a pretty weak character, but I've always kind of liked seeing Clark interact with other people who have abilities, because the situations tend to highlight the fact that while someone else may go in for the killing blow, Clark wouldn't, and it separates the two. It shows who Clark is eventually going to become.

And on a last note, I really hope Lionel and Martha don't hook up. It seems like that's kind of where the plotline is headed (I've been trying to avoid spoilers now, so this may have already been touched upon somewhere, I'm not sure) and if I'm right I personally feel that it will seriously hurt my opinion of her (Martha).

8/10

Sorry if you can't understand what I wrote, I'm pretty damn tired and wrote this in a daze.

[OBSERVER]

Much better than I was expecting. It's in my top 5 of the season. I think I even like it more than the last episode.

[Tolkien]

Thanks for the short review, Tornado. Stupid college Basketball keeps pushing the Thursday episode of Smallville to Sunday. At least, I got a short cap of what it was about, and what went on. Thanks. So, was this a "Wonder Woman" episode? or was it just some girl with similar powers?

[Tornado]

So, was this a "Wonder Woman" episode? or was it just some girl with similar powers?

It's kind of a mix I think. Her name was Andrea (which, if I'm not mistaken also has roots in Greek mythology) instead of Diana, but she wore a similar costume (if I'm not mistaken, Wonder Woman now wears black instead of the whole red/blue/gold dealy). Although, I have no idea what Wonder Woman's powers really are (I'm not a big fan). Andrea had super strength, which she also used for jumping to great heights (buildings and whatnot). Part of the episode was devoted to Andrea tracking down her mother's killer (I'm pretty sure that WW's mother was murdered as well).

I think this was kind of like Smallville's 'take' on Wonder Woman.

[Tolkien]

Wow, sounds like all she had missing was her Lasso and her invisible plane. lol. But I don't know, they really kept Aqua Man and the Flash (Bart Allen) to their original color scheme. Aha who knows, I mean they’ve changed soooo many superhero costumes already, to date. Why not one more?

[OBSERVER]

She is violent, full of hate and vengeance, and wants to kill more than a single person. Her personality is completely different from what I remember of Wonder Woman.

Tom Welling's Directorial Debut: "Fragile"
It sounds like Tom Welling's premiere as a Smallville director will come with this season's 18th episode, which is titled "Fragile."

[FVD]

I think that Andrea character looked like a Batman/Wonder Woman hybrid. May as well call her Batgirl with superhuman strength. ;)

And as for the episode. It was a very emotional end of the episode. And it was nice of Lana to track down the watch not to mention very fitting for Clark to wear the watch. Seeing Clark breaking down was good indeed. I was feeling his pain. It's like I said before. Clark and Jonathan's father/son relationship was so believable on the program. It's time for Clark to see things in another light so to speak (hmm does that sound a little corny? :confused: ).

[hard2hold]

When do we get to see the wonder-twins?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

never? there was a mock version of them in the second episode of the season.

[FVD]

With Andrea already shown, I still wouldn't mind Bruce Wayne making an appearance. The fans want to see it and oughta be a ratings pull to say the least.

So Cyborg is next huh? Who next? Static Shock???

[boydston_14]

Wasn't there a rumor of the Martian Manhunter a few months back? When is that supposed to happen, if ever?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

it's just an idea the producers have, it may or may not happen.

[Tolkien]

So I finally got to see the missed episode of Smallville today, just before Superbowl. It wasn't as dark as it was hyped up to be. Still good as a filler episode, though. Cyborg? I never saw "Teen Titans", But I've see pictures of the cartoon character. Was he in the original comics, if any? Or is this guy just made up for the "Teen Titans" cartoon? Either way, at least it's good to see characters from other shows, making cross-overs.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

Why Does John Schneider Remain In The Smallville Opening Credits?

After the airing of "Vengeance," some fans wondered why John Schneider remains in the opening credits of Smallville when his character was killed in the 100th episode.

Contractual obligations will keep John in the opening titles for the rest of the season, whether or not he is slated to appear on the show again. Usually, when an actor appears in more than half of the episodes of the season, they still appear in the opening - witness Erica Durance and John Glover, who usually only appear in 13 of the 22 episodes per year.

The video in "Vengeance" might not be the last we see of Schneider on Smallville, so the "I've read scripts with Jonathan in them" posted on John Schneider's official website actually is true. Look for at least one more episode to feature Jonathan Kent, be it in flashback or some other scifi device. The only episode we've heard about thus far will be "Void," which airs in April, but don't be surprised if we see him sooner.

"In many senses, Jonathan is in the show more after he's dead. His memory is kind a talisman for the second half of Season 5. I'm in it in spirit more than I was in Season 4 at all," Schneider says in a TV Guide interview which can be found at this link (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Insider/2006/0208/03insider.htm).

[boydston_14]

it's just an idea the producers have, it may or may not happen.

Oh. I read it on K-Site a while back and thought maybe it could happen early on in season 6. Also, another question, will we see Cyborg in the cyborg gear in the episode or not?

[Tornado]

I haven't heard about that to be honest boydston. I'd guess we probably won't, but who knows?

Just a heads up to those who may have forgotten, tonight is a new episode. This is 514 - Tomb. Should be good, or at least interesting due to the fact that this episode is apparently tagged with a 'Viewer Discretion Advised' warning on it.

[boydston_14]

I hope we get to see him in the gear, or why call the episode Cyborg?

And I agree, with the vewer discretion warning, this should be a good episode.

[boydston_14]

Well, based on the preview that appeared after 'Tomb', we wont see Cyborg in the gear. This has got to be one of the most depressing things for me this season.

[Neverending]

This was the worst episode of Smallville. When I think of Superman I don't think of dead people getting revenge. Superman can be dark and it has when it involved stories with Darkseid. Yet these plotlines are out of place. And, not only was it out of place, but at times scenes were so ridiculous that it made me laugh. Like when Clark punches the wall and the skeleton inside of it has kyrptonite. I honestly started laughing my ass off. And, when Clark saw Michael's ID photo and he clearly looks like a crazy guy. Then, when Chloe complained about the byline. If a reporter is involved with the story, then you can't write it because of conflict of interest. The reporter can be quoted by another reporter though.

[Tornado]

This was the worst episode of Smallville.

Have you seen 107 - Craving? For me, it's not even possible for another episode to match that one pound for pound in the category of "lameness."

514 - TOMB

I'll be honest though, I didn't like this episode. There were a few scenes I thought were pretty neat (the first 15 minutes were pretty solid I thought), and one that stands out in my mind (Chloe meeting with her mother was nice). But there were a lot of things going on that I just thought were pure garbage. Like, oh I don't know, Chloe becoming possessed and tracking down the man who killed the girl who is possessing her. And how hard did that guy hit Clark at the end there? He just went down, then like five minutes later he stands up and says "What happened?" I know Clark was weakened by the Kryptonite, but geezus, Clark has taken harder hits in the past and recovered quicker from them.

Not to mention, I'm getting kind of sick of these 'non-Clark focued' episodes. I realize that there are other characters in the show (and for the record, Chloe is my second favorite behind Clark), but come on. The show is about Clark's journey towards becoming Superman. We've had a Lex-centric episode (509 - Lexmas), a Jonathan-themed episode (510 - Fanatic), Lois (506 - Exposed), Lana (505 - Thirst), and now Chloe (514 - Tomb). Personally, I feel enough is enough. I want to see more character development for Clark.

5/10

Hopefully 515 - Cyborg isn't such a disappointment.

[boydston_14]

I agree with just about every word you just said, Torn.

By the way, is Craving from season one? The one where the girl loses weight or something by attacking people or something along those lines? I've only seen the last couple of minutes (even thought I have the DVD, the episode didn't look that interesting). Was it that bad?

[Tornado]

Yeah, it's the 7th episode (located on disc two) from Season One. And yes, it is that bad. I have never talked to someone who've said they liked the episode.

[Neverending]

I never saw that episode, Tornado, but tonights episode was really stupid. I actually laughed during certain scenes because they were so stupid.

[Tornado]

While I didn't laugh, I'll agree. This episode wasn't great by any means.

[Neverending]

While I didn't laugh, I'll agree. This episode wasn't great by any means.

When Clark punched the wall and the skeleton had the kryptonite I just couldn't help myself. I was laughing my ass off. And, this is also why I hate kryptonite. It is dangerous in the wrong hands.

[WuTical]

episode was weak as hell

next week looks real good though

[GreenvilleTexan]

Sucked rocks.
One, it was another "character is possessed by someone/something and starts acting crazy" episode. How many of these have they done, whether it's ghosts, kryptonite, witches, etc.?
Two, everyone automatically assumes Chloe is crazy and doesn't listen to her. Why, considering all of the previous times a character has started acting differently (see above)?
Three, no explanation for why this ghost suddenly appears now, to Chloe.
Four, the whole resolution with her mother. I assume they will bring the mother back later, or have some sort of closure there.
Five, the scene where Clark punches a hole in the wall. I guess the cappucino machine was set on high and Lois couldn't hear the destruction, which is the reason why she didn't bother to rush back upstairs to check on her potentially psychotic cousin.
Six, why wouldn't Lois know anything about Chloe's mom's (her aunt's) problem?
That being said, the actress portraying Chloe did do a good job with the acting, but that's about all I can say I liked about this episode.

[cg124]

man what a bad episode. I got bored halfway through and just played vice city instead

[the elmo zombie]

so boring and dull. hope it gets better

[Tolkien]

There's nothing I can say that everyone else hasn't already said, so I will just leave it at; Ewww, and move on. Seriously, Smallville has been having a bad run lately. It's like, one or two really amazing episodes, then like four or five really bad ones inbetween. Anyways, hopefully they'll do good with next week's episode. Hopefully, that is...

[Tornado]

It's like, one or two really amazing episodes, then like four or five really bad ones inbetween.

That's kind of surprising to hear. Most people I've talked to have agreed with me in saying that this season for the most part has been impeccable. There have been only a handful of 'poor' episodes (505, 506, and 514 instantly jump to mind), whereas it seems like all of the others have at least had somewhat of a hand in building an important story:

501 - formation of the FOS, Chloe talks with Clark about his powers, etc. etc.
502 - Clark sees that he can win battles without his powers, he and Lana do the nasty
503 - death and resurrection for Clark
504 - Aquaman
507 - silver Kryptonite = paranoid Clark
508 - battle with Brainiac
509 - Lex's future
510 - political campaigning for Jonathan and whatnot
511 - eh, nothing of terrible importance, Lana seems to be catching onto Lex's true feelings I guess
512 - Clark tells Lana everything, she dies, time is reversed, Jonathan dies, etc.
513 - Clark sees the ugly side to crime fighting, and some mourning over Jonathan occurs here

I don't know, just my $.04.

[boydston_14]

Like usual, I have to agree with Torn on this one. Almost every episode this season is dealing a bit more with the mythos than all the others combined. Afterall, this season we've got the FoS, Brainiac, dead JK, Aquaman, and (to what you've said, I missed Lexmas) a glimpse into Lex's future. And, coming soon: Cyborg and (hopefully) General Zod!

[Neverending]

Yeah, this season is definitly better then the past seasons because we're getting closer to SUPERMAN! However, there have been some weak episodes.

502-Pretty lame filler episode. I hate these filler episodes sometimes. I just want them to get to the point.

504-I didn't really care too much about Aquaman. The highlight of that episode was Erica Durance in a bikini.

512 (a/k/a 100th episode)-It was good, but could have been better. Superman time traveling has been used too many times. And some of the performances were pretty weak.

Aside from that and last week's episode everything has been pretty good. And, yeah, bring back General Zod, damn it! If they introduce General Zod I better see a good fight scenes. The fight scenes so far have been pretty lame. Remember in the first episode how he beat those guys in 2 minutes? And the Braniac fight could have been a little better. If they introduce General Zod I want a Superman II-style fight scene.

[Spirited Away]

The problem Smallville has with its fight scenes is that it builds up to a climax, but then suddenly ends. Some of the fights are lame ass.

[FVD]

Yeah that was a pretty weak episode. Though I did like the fact that Chloe finally went to see her mother, yet we never got to see her face.

[Tolkien]

I know what you're saying here, I do. And now that I think about it, my post does seem a little off the point. But, I don't know, maybe it's just me here, but I don't remember Superman going through sooo much drama when he was a kid. Yeah, his dad died, and he found out he was an alien, but isn't that about it? Doesn't "Flash", "Aquaman", "Cyborg", "Lex" and MOST OF ALL, "Lois", come along AFTER he becomes Superman? I know I'm only 22 here, but I grew up with the Original Superman. I love the show, but sometimes, it's soooo hard to take in, you know.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (Kryptonsite probably) that Zod would finally be making an appearance at the end of the season.
Lets hope so. The show has sort of gone down hill for me since the 100th ep

[Spirited Away]

I hope Zod is like already established completely as a super villain, so we don't have to have this long establishment period. That would suck.

I just can't help stop myself from thinking 'Smallville' should be ending soon, and moving on to a new stage of Clark's life.

While him knowing Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg doesn't really bother me, now that you mention it, I have to bring this up. How will Lex and Lois NOT instantly recognize Superman later in Metropolis? I'm hoping some memory erasing scene does not take place, but I don't really see any other explanation that won't require too much thinking being done by the audience.

Torn, there are sooooo many different takes on what could actually happen. I use to watch "Lois & Clark" all the time back in the 90s, but I hated how in this modern day and age, a guy can just take his glasses off, throw his hair back and suddenly become completely un-recognizable to even his best of friends.

I brought into Batman, since he had the mask and all, but in our modern age, this is a real stretch. I mean, even though if they do lose their memories, what then? He will still have to meet them again, and he and Lois will work side by side, each and every day. Lex will see him many times over. So how the hell can facial recognition go unnoticed today?

[Neverending]

How can facial recognition go unnoticed in any time period?

[WuTical]

well i guess they could think the same way they always have in all other superman versions, movies comics etc.

are the characters really dull enough to be fooled by spandex and a pair of glasses?
Lex and Lois already know what Clark looks like WITHOUT GLASSES

the suit dont got nothing to do with it

[spiderman_2k]

If they really wanted to they could have Lex take the Birthright route and have him go into denial about Smallville. It would have to be on a bigger scale because of what Lex has done in Smallville but its a good way of doing it.

With Lois they could go a non traditional route and have Clark and her together when they get to Metropolis with her already knowing that will be Superman. Have Lana somehow hook up with Pete and move away from Clarks life, kill Chloe off if thats what they are planning to do. Give Clark and Lois a real push towards journalism.

But NO Blue Supes, Red Supes or masked Superman (The masked idea is ridiculous. I think McG wanted Superman to have a mask in his script. Blonde hair too.) Keep it traditional especially since they have alluded to the suit all through the 5 seasons. (Red, Blue and Yellow highlighted everywhere. Clark saying he doesn't like masks. Its all foreshadowing to a traditional suit)

[Alien]

I watched episode 100 last night, if you ask me it shoulda been a two parter 100 & 101. 100 would be the first run of the day ending with Clark taking the crystal and 101 the re run day. It would need a wee bit to flesh it out but it woulda been a good two parter.

[Angelixx]

Christopher Reeve made it believable

http://members.aye.net/~gharris/blog/Christopher_Reeve_Superman10.jpg

yeah believable movie wise, not real life

my point was that in the movies if they could mkae the simple disguise of glasses doable then they can have lex and lois being fooled in the show


Lex and Lois already know what Clark looks like WITHOUT GLASSES

the suit dont got nothing to do with it

i mentioned the suit merely for an example

[insaneMoViEgoer]

I think for logical reasons, this incarnation of Superman would wear a mask. If he didn't, almost everyone at Smallville High's Class of 2005 would recognise him.
why wouldnt this be a problem in other versions of superman?

[Spirited Away]

why wouldnt this be a problem in other versions of superman?
Clarks from an rural area, where less people knew him. In Smallville, he's well known. Heck, his father was running for Senate, and died. It's very difficult to hide that identity without a mask.

[spiderman_2k]

If you think Superman should wear a mask you miss the point of Superman as a character completely. It isn't a neccesity there are ways around it without screwing up one of the main points of Superman and chucking a mask on him.

Cyborg episode tonight

should be a lot better than last week's borefest

[Tornado]

Let's hope so.

[Tornado]

Wow, so far this episode surprisingly hasn't been a disappointment.

[WuTical]

Holy **** @ The End!!!!!!!!!

[boydston_14]

^ Totally agreed. I guess they had to leave us with a great ending since there won't be a new episode until April.

[Tornado]

Since I'm sure you all watched the episode, I'm only going to talk about the ending. I liked the first 40 minutes a lot though (assuming the episode was about 41)

515 - CYBORG (SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED)

John Glover (Lionel) has always been pretty much perfect in my opinion, but he still somehow continues to amaze me here.

And he just kept on amazing me right through the end of the episode. I'm not terribly surprised that Lionel knows Clark's secret. I've actually been wondering about this since 406 - Transference, it'd be interesting to learn whether or not he ever actually forgot about what took place. And then he had the picture in 512 - Reckoning. While it was never learned what the picture was of, you've gotta think that it was either proof of Clark's powers, or a picture of the spaceship or something. So showing him knowing Clark's secret didn't surprise me. What DID shock me (and I'm still shocked to be honest) is that he knows Clark's true name is Kal-El.

I have mixed feelings about this. I think it'd be both amazing and ground-breaking if they were able to somehow reasonably pull it off and make it believable, but I'm not sure if they're going to be able to do that. I mean honestly, how would he know? Clark knows, and obviously didn't tell him. Jonathan knows, and he had no reason to tell anybody, and likewise for Martha. I only see ONE way this can play out well.

What if it wasn't Lionel? What if it was Jor-El? He's inhabited Lionel's body before, it makes perfect sense, and the line works even better.

"Your secret is safe with me, Kal-El."

If that truly is the case, it's brilliant as far as I'm concerned. Just my $.04 though.

9/10

I can't wait until late March or early April, whenever the next episode (516 - HYPNOTIC, the return of Brainiac) plays.

[cg124]

I missed the episode tonight:(

[Tolkien]

You think somebody might post it on YouTube?

It was cut off tonight for the damn college game!

[Neverending]

I missed tonight's episode as well. I came home from work and fell asleep. I was so tired.

So, Lionel knows Clark's secret? Is there anyone who doesn't know his secret at this point? I think I know why Peter Parker took his mask off so many times in Spider-Man 2. That must have been what the Smallville guys wrote!

Jor-El Knows the name Kal-El so if Lionel remembers being Jor-El that then he'd remember the name.

What bugged me for the longest time was I thought Lionel became Jor-El and never went back he just started to pose as Lionel. It was the 101st show that, kinda, almost, showed that he wasn't just acting as Lionel, he really looked scared when The Angel of Vengeance held him up to the window and Jor-El would've been fine if she let him go. Why would Jor-El let Lionel go though? Jor-El could use Lionel to keep an eye on Clark better.

[Tornado]

Jor-El Knows the name Kal-El so if Lionel remembers being Jor-El that then he'd remember the name.

I don't think Lionel could remember Jor-El inhabiting his body.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

remember what Jor El said while in Lionel's body:
"When this body was activated by the crystal, it became an oracle of kryptonian knowledge." so im guessing he knows alot more then just the name Kal-El. it also explains how he knew about Brainiac (Prof.Fine)

[Tolkien]

I'm just glad to hear that Brainiac is coming back!

[insaneMoViEgoer]

he'll be back in the next episode.....on March 30 :angry: i hate long breaks.

[JasonLV]

they just came back from a break..why another..GRRR!!!!

[Tornado]

Well, they did run five continuous episodes. They need another break to finish shooting/post-production on the rest, because as far as I know it's a straight run through the end once March 30th hits.

[Tolkien]

I don't want to talk about "24" in a "Smallville" thread, but that show has really got the idea down. "24" doesn't start up in the early Fall, like a lot of the other shows. What it does, is start up in the middle of January when they know almost all of their episodes are finished with. That way, the show can air every week, with a new episode, right through till the finale. I hate long breaks sooooo much, especially with shows like "Smallville" that I really love to watch.

Is anyone watching the Smallville marathon on ABC Family? I saw some great stuff I hadn't seen before like The Flash episode for instance. Why is Aquaman getting a TV show when The Flash, I think, deserved one. I would watch a Flash show any day over Aquaman. And, that episode in which Lana turned into a witch was hilarious. I loved how Lois is not a virgin. In every incarnation she turns out to be some kind of a slut. lol. We should make a list of everyone Lois has slept with in the comics, tv, and film.

[Karma Dog]

I agree that a Flash movie would be better than Aquaman, but they're trying to do a Flash movie, so that's probably why. Then again, why question WB's "logic"?

[Freelow]

I just got done watching this past week's episode with Cyborg - thank you Bit Torrent :) .

I like how they handled he character of Cyborg. I would like to see them bring him back again in the future.

And, as the show moves on, by far Lionel is my favorite character. I never get tired of him being in the show.

There haven't been any details about either episode, aside from the name of one character (Oni Demon / Lincoln Cole) for 519 - Mercy.

Yeah, every title is given a one word name. Some people insist that's not true, and that the first episode is actually 101 - The Pilot. That's incorrect, despite K-Site supporting this idea. It's named 101 - Pilot, and has been in not only commentaries and interviews, but also in text on the DVD.

It was funny, yesterday, in my school cafeteria, the TV was on ABC family cause they usually watch Step by step or family matters or whatever's on there at that time, but the flash episode was on and I had to shout at my friends to shut up so I could listen to it.

:confused: they have tv in the lunch rooms in schools now lol

wish they had that when i was in school

[GreenvilleTexan]

Great episode, but a couple of things bothered me. One, why would Martha not tell Clark about the disc? You think she might want to let him know there was someone else out there who knows his secret. Of course, she had to go to Lionel to deal with the problem but Clark would deserve to know about the blackmailer.
Two, exactly what is the status of the Clark/Lana relationship? How many times are they going to stand there and look at each other, tell each other they love each other, then not do anything? How many times have we seen this exact same scene now?

[Klimber]

[Tornado]

Well, K-Site has a few new tidbits of information.

Michael Ausiello's latest TV Guide spoiler column has revealed some very interesting tidbits about upcoming episodes. We've pulled out the Smallville highlights:

Question: Are Chloe and Clark going to hook up on Smallville, given the fact that the story between Clark and Lana is over? — Van

Ausiello: Over? Tell that to Clark. As things between Lana and Lex heat up, Superman is going to morph into Stalkerman.

Question: Please!! I need some Smallville spoilers! — Tia

Ausiello: Lex is headed for a betrayal by Brainiac/Milton Fine (James Marsters) that could leave young Mr. Luthor with some superpowers of his own.

Question: I'll keep trying to get you to give me some scoop on Chloe on Smallville. — E.G.

Ausiello: We can count on her to crack the code of those symbols that keep flashing in Lionel’s eyes — and the message she discovers is not a good one.

Question: Please tell me John Schneider will make a return to Smallville this season. I'm having Jonathan withdrawal, especially now that Lionel is putting the moves on Martha. — Ally

Ausiello: I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing the erstwhile Bo Duke during May sweeps, when Jonathan haunts Clark after it's revealed that someone else knows his secrets.

They've also announced that Warner Home Video has stated their plans for DVD releases for the rest of the year (for Superman related projects anyway), and Smallville Season Five is slated for a release in Third Quarter of 2006, most likely September.

[Neverending]

Lex with superpowers? Is this the J.J. Abrams script all over again?

And that Lana/Chole fight looked awesome. lol. I wanna see more of that.

^I'm guessing that reads as X-mas time or later for the folks in the UK

[Tornado]

Official Description for 516: Hypnotic:

BRAINIAC SUMMONS LEX - Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovers that Professor Fine, aka Brainiac (guest star James Marsters) is in Honduras and sets out to confront him. Clark (Tom Welling) meets a beautiful seductress named Simone (Nichole Hiltz) who uses a magical charm to make people succumb to her every wish. An enchanted Clark reveals his powers to Simone, who seizes the opportunity and demands that Clark kill Lex. Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Allison Mack, John Glover and Annette O'Toole also star. The episode was written by Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer and directed by Michael Rohl (#2T6416).

---------------------------------

Sounds like it could be pretty cool. I really like the idea of Lex going to Honduras to find Brainiac, but I'm not too sure about Clark's role in this episode. We'll see I guess.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i wonder if they'll actually call him Brainiac on the show.

[boydston_14]

i wonder if they'll actually call him Brainiac on the show.

no, probably not. I'd like them to, but it'd probably be like not calling Clark Superman.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

but thats a little different. clark hasnt "become" Superman yet, while Brainiac has always been Brainiac.

[boydston_14]

but thats a little different. clark hasnt "become" Superman yet, while Brainiac has always been Brainiac.

You have a point there, but we've known him since the start of the season, but why haven't we heard the name Brainiac yet? I think the opportune time to say the name would have been in "Solitude", but I guess they just missed the cue.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

or maybe they're waiting for Zod.

[boydston_14]

You know, I've started to realize the transitions from each season. Each season's story line (with the exception of S1) transitions to the next season's.

Here:

Season Two: Clark disobeys Jor-El, gets Red K Ring -> Season 3: Clark pays for his actions, is taken away by Jor-El -> Season 4: Clark comes back and searches for the Kryptonian stones -> Season 5:stones unlock the FOS, Brainiac tries to free Zod from FOS. What will be the transition in season 6?

[Tornado]

My hopes would be: Clark defeating Zod and Brainiac; becoming Superman, or at least moving to Metropolis and working at the Daily Planet toward the end of the sixth season. Final shot would be Clark in the suit saving Lois or something.

[boydston_14]

I really want to know the title of the season finale now, after all this time of going to K-Site and just seeing the same things over and over again!

[Tornado]

I'm guessing the final episode will be 522 - Zod, but I suppose I might be wrong.

[Tornado]

Cool title, I still prefer 'Zod' but it's the episode that matters. Not the title.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

if Zod were to show up in the season finale, i think it would be the cliffhanger.

i wonder who they would cast for Zod?

[boydston_14]

yeah well, its not an idea :P

I realized that when I went to the SHH! boards not long after reading your message. At first I thought it was a joke or something based on the winking emoticon, but then when I found out I felt like an idiot.

[boydston_14]

Just saw the preview for 'Hypnotic' after a rerun episode of Lockdown, and it looks pretty good. The preview didn't show any of the Lex and Brainiac subplot, though.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

could be a vision or spirit. or maybe clarks just high
:funny: I was right

official preview:
JONATHAN KENT RETURNS — Still distraught over her break-up with Clark (Tom Welling), Lana (Kristin Kreuk) experiments with a dangerous serum that allows her to flat-line and see her deceased parents again. A worried Clark rushes to save Lana from hurting herself, but ends up being injected with the kryptonite-laced serum by a rogue doctor (Patrick Currie). When Clark flat-lines, he is able to talk to his father, recently deceased Jonathan (John Schneider), who warns him that Lionel (John Glover) knows his secret.. Meanwhile, Lionel continues to get closer to Martha (Annette O’Toole). Michael Rosenbaum and Allison Mack also star. The episode was written by Holly Harold and directed by Jeannot Swarc

[boydston_14]

Question: Will we be seeing Zod or Jor-El this season on Smallville? — Eddie
Ausiello: Yes, they'll both pop up in the season finale — but they won't be who we think they are. And here's another finale superscoop: Lois and another major character will end up on an airplane that's locked in autopilot — and there's only one person who knows where it's headed. (Hint: He looks like a platinum-topped vampire we once knew and loved.)

Question: Any Smallville scoop would be appreciated. — Bill

Ausiello: This season's cliff-hanger will revolve around a huge choice Clark must make. And it doesn't involve anyone whose name starts with L.

No, it ends with an "n"

[Neverending]

WOW! Simone is hot! Interesting episode so far.

[Neverending]

I hope Clark finally ends his relationship with Lana. We all know they aren't gonna end up together, so lets just move on.

[Brenzi51]

or do they?...

[cg124]

damn I forgot there was a new episode on tonight

[GreenvilleTexan]

You mean to tell me Clark did not end up hitting that? Not buying it, nope.
Of course, it was another one of those "Clark or other main character is possessed by a force and acts strangely, causing serious complications" which seem to be like every other episode. Plus, yet afgain, somebody else knows Clark's secret. Not so much of a secret. Wonder why Simone didn't tell Lex? Unless she just wanted to make sure she could use Clark to kill him, but at that point she didn't know he was going to double-cross her.
The "B" plot lines (Professor Fine, etc.) were very good and surprisingly violent this time around.
And, I know Lex was supposed to be only semi-conscious, but did he actually see Chloe take the green kryptonite away? And, after suspecting all along that Clark had powers, I thought it was a little convenient that Lex automatically assumed that the reason Clark was able to toss him around the room was because he was hypnotized. ???

that simone chick was on desperate housewives this week to. shes like the village bike, every tv show gets a ride

[GreenvilleTexan]

I still think Clark was lying ... or there really is another secret there we don't know about ... would explain a lot.
"Brokeback Smallville?"

dude you just called superman a homo:nono: :nono: :nono:

[GreenvilleTexan]

No, no, no, I'm just saying. He's surrounded by Lana, Lois and Chloe. Lana has been begging him to and now two other hotties have bewitched him and virtually demanded he do the deed and he ... supposedly ... turned them down?
OK, so maybe he is just Super virtuous ...
I'm kidding here, obviously.

Dean Cain's Clark Kent would have hit that!

oh damn april fools

[the elmo zombie]

everything posted on the K Site today was fake

is that a theory or a fact

[Neverending]

its April Fools Day, man

I think that answers your question

[WuTical]

is that a theory or a fact
Yes, we've done it again! Everything new that was on the KryptonSite News Page on April 1st is false.

Christopher Eccleston is NOT playing Zod, Brandon Routh won't be on Smallville and Tom won't be in Superman Returns, and as far as we know, there won't be an Aquaman cross-over next season. "Bizarro" is a figment of our imagination, and right now, comics' Lois Lane really is just Lois Lane. And Annette O'Toole is naturally beautiful, not a member of some secret society (that we know of!) BIG thanks to Chiriru for the incredibly awesome Bizarro and Superman Returns images.

[Neverending]

Well, its April 2nd. Hopefully we will get some good (and real) news today.

more season finale spoilers:

Question: Will there be anything happening between Chloe and Clark on Smallville before season's end? — Brianna

Ausiello: Not likely. With Milton and Lex teaming up to basically destroy mankind, Clark won’t have time for tonsil hockey.

Question: Any chance Al Gough will drop his reluctance to let Clark fly on Smallville? — Sean P.

Ausiello: Let me say this: If the finale ends the way they have it planned now, next season could see a whole world of change for our wonder boy.

Question: Has Smallville been renewed yet? — Candyce

Ausiello: Not officially, but it's a shoo-in. And this just in: Lex's late mother will make an appearance in next month's finale.

Smallville might be taken off the air

JUDGE SAYS SIEGELS OWN SUPERBOY. WILL IT AFFECT "SMALLVILLE?"
by Brian Cronin, Contributing Writer
Posted: April 6, 2006
[NOTE: The following report contains spoilers for "Infinite Crisis" #6.]

According to an article in Variety, a federal judge recently dealt a blow to DC Comics in their current case against Jerry Siegel's heirs over ownership to Superboy, leaving the legal status of WB's Smallville in jeopardy.

Variety got hold of the March 23 partial Summary Judgment order by Judge Harold S.W. Lew of the Ninth Circuit District Court, where Lew ruled that Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson, Jerry Siegel's wife and daughter, respectively, successfully recaptured the Superboy copyright as of November 17, 2004. In addition, Lew made it clear that, in his opinion, the television program "Smallville" (since that date) is infringing upon the copyright of the Siegels. However, Lew did not make a ruling on the "Smallville" issue, leaving it to be determined at a copyright infringement trial.

Time Warner is appealing the ruling on the Siegel's ownership of the Superboy copyright.

The "Smallville" claim will go towards one simple decision - is "Smallville" a TV show about Superboy, or is it a show about a young Clark Kent? The difference might not seem like much, but what it boils down to is that DC (as of right now, as that is a matter of a separate copyright claim by the Siegels and the executor of Joe Shuster's estate) owns the copyright to Clark Kent, so if it was determined that "Smallville" is merely a show about a young Clark Kent, then Warner Brothers would be fine. However, if a jury determines that "Smallville" is based upon Superboy (presuming that Lew's ruling stands up on appeal), then Time Warner would be in quite a difficult position. The position of Time Warner is that a young Clark Kent appeared in the comic well before Superboy was introduced, so a young Clark Kent is a good deal different than "Superboy." The Siegel's side, of course, believes that not to be the case, citing the examples that the only "young Clark Kent" was an infant and toddler, never a teenager, and Judge Lew clearly leans towards the Siegels, stating in a footnote "In the Superboy comic strip, a billboard on the side of a rural country road announces, 'Welcome to Smallville! Home of Superboy."

The ruling was based upon changes made in 1976 to the Copyright Act, where the length of copyright renewal was extended from 28 years to 47 years, and allowed that any copyright transfers could be terminated so that the original copyright owner (or his/her heirs) could gain the benefit of those extra 19 years of protection (with the presumption being that it would be unfair to the original copyright owners, as any deals they made before the change were based upon the 28 year duration, not 47).

Please note that this does not affect the current legal situation that the Siegels are in with Warner Brothers over the rights to Superman, which is an entirely separate situation. The current Superboy situation derives from the first legal attempt by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster to reclaim their creation, Superman. That came in 1947, and while a judge ruled the next year in favor of DC Comics for the rights to Superman, New York state court Judge Addison Young ruled that Siegel was the sole owner of the separate character, Superboy (who had only recently been introduced in More Fun Comics #101 only four years earlier). Siegel and Shuster signed away all their rights to Superman and Superboy soon after, for about $100, 000.

Therefore, since a judge specifically ruled that Siegel owned Superboy at the time, it is pretty clear (at least in my legal opinion) that the deal made after the 1948 decision was a standard copyright transfer agreement, and that therefore, the Siegels were acting properly when, in 2002, they gave their two-year notice that they were terminating Time Warner's copyright. This termination went into effect in 2004, which Judge Lew has now confirmed.

The trial (which began in 2004, but has not even begun yet) will continue on the "Smallville" matter, and clearly, Time Warner will appeal the Lew summary judgment order. There is still a tricky road ahead for the Siegels and Time Warner, and that is not even getting into the Superman copyright issue, which is a much more convoluted mess.

Finally, as readers of today’s "Infinite Crisis" #6 can attest, DC has suddenly found itself short a character named Superboy. I'm certainly not suggesting that this necessarily has anything to do with the copyright infringement case, but please note that if Conner Kent were to return later, sans any Superboy connection (as in, a brand new name), then DC will have successfully avoided the copyright issue with Superboy. In addition, here’s an even trickier situation – DC currently still owns a trademark on Superboy, so no one can publish a comic using the name Superboy, even if they owned the copyright to the character! Therefore, DC can simply rename Conner Kent something else until the Siegel’s copyright runs out, at which point, they can return Conner (or whatever other character is introduced between now and 2023) to the name Superboy. In addition, as Time Warner has been quite willing to settle the case (in fact, one of their claims in the past involves their insistence that the Siegels already did settle, but decided to break the settlement agreement and therefore, the Siegels should be bound by the terms of the original settlement), this certainly does not hurt Time Warner’s negotiation position. In any event, it will be interesting to see what path this case takes in the future, as it could have a real impact on the comics we read and the TV shows that we watch.

[Tornado]

Pff, I'm not worried.

[boydston_14]

^^I am. I mean, this is my favorite show. If they cancel this because some stupid copyright crap, there's gonna be hell to pay...

[Tornado]

It's my favorite show too. Ever, actually. No other show has ever caught me up like this one has. But even so, I'm not worried. The show is about a young Clark Kent and his journey to becoming Superman. He's not Superboy.

Speaking of which, new episode in 21 minutes. Woo-hoo!

[WuTical]

good episode tonight...next week looks real good too

[Tornado]

Since I didn't comment on last week's episode, I'll just chime in real quickly about that before I talk about tonight's:

516 - HYPNOTIC

There were a few things I liked, a few things I disliked. Loved seeing Professor Fine back (and working with Lex at that, awesome) and it was great seeing Clark and Lana finally call it quits for good. I think there's something I'm forgetting that I liked, but oh well. Chances are high that if I can't remember it, then it's probably not worth remembering. I really didn't like the general plotline though. I don't like these throw-away characters that come on the show and drastically affect the overall plotlines. I think that if something really needs to happen (Clark and Lana breaking up), then the characters should do it on their own. Using something that happened is kind of a cop-out in my book. Still, I'm glad it happened. It's been a long time in the making.

Lana crying outside the barn was pretty good though. Sometimes I like Kristen Kreuk. This was one of those times.

7/10

517 - VOID

This episode was kind of all over the wall. But I will preface this little summary/review by saying that I liked this episode. I liked that Clark went to Honduras to look for Fine himself, but I'm not sure it should have been done in an episode like this. I know TPTB (the powers that be) want to keep building important and continuing plotlines, but I really wouldn't have objected to a whole episode devoted to the 'ol gang going there (see: 415 - Sacred) as opposed to a handful of throw-away shots of just Clark there. It was kind of nice seeing Clark superspeed there though. I've been missing the episodes of previous seasons when Clark would just use his powers all the time. Now it's one scene an episode it seems (I wonder if they have a lower VFX budget or something).

I wasn't a fan of the whole "Lana goes on kryptonite trips to see and talk to her dead parents" idea, but if it gives Clark and Lex opportunities to talk to their father and mother (respectively), then I'm all for it. One of my favorite aspects of the past four seasons of the show was the relationship between Clark and Jonathan. And even though Jonathan has passed, I'm very grateful that TPTB have decided to keep using him in certain scenes.

Clark knowing that Lionel knows his secret is a nice touch for the last couple of episodes this season. I'm sure that'll add lots of extra tension in the coming weeks.

As I said before, I liked this episode. Next week's looks even better. Here's hoping.

8/10

[Neverending]

If the jury decides that Smallville is about Superboy then WB has one solution. FINALLY turning Tom Welling into Superman! :mad:

But, anyway, tonight's episode was interesting. Yeah. . .it was cool that Clark spoke to Jonathan but once again they don't know the real focus of the show. I think they should have focused on Clark's search of Professor Fine. That's what I really wanted to see.

[boydston_14]

Next week's episode looks awesome! Tonight's was pretty good, too. I missed out on a few minutes in the middle of the episode though. Did Clark ever actually see Fine in Honduras?

[the elmo zombie]

no he didnt

[Neverending]

Did Clark ever actually see Fine in Honduras?

Of course not. This is what upsets me about Smallville. The whole Lana flatlining (spelling?) thing should have been the sub-plot. Clark could have found Professor Fine and they could have had a mini-battle or something.

[GreenvilleTexan]

It was pretty good, but I keep wondering about the Smallville police department. Clark/Lana/Chloe/Lois keep turning up around dead bodies and they are never even questioned ... but, hey, that's the script.
Is is just me, or is the show getting more violent? Last week with the dead and bloody bodies in Honduras and last night with the particularly gruesome death of the villian.
Oh, and don't worry about the lawsuit. Warner Brothers will come up with a way to settle it.

Oh, I wasn't sure because I saw him go to Honduras, I had to go somewhere, got back when he saw pa kent, then he said something about Fine being in Honduras at the end. What was that about?

[Roy_Bluth]

Next week's episode looks awesome! Tonight's was pretty good, too. I missed out on a few minutes in the middle of the episode though. Did Clark ever actually see Fine in Honduras?

Yeah, more of Clark superspeeding around people. Like the end of "Jinx." That was cool. No, like said before, Clark found a black spot in the shape of the ship, and a kid carving the ship out of something, maybe wood? But that's it, no Fine.

Is there a way I can be invited to Erica's house?

[GreenvilleTexan]

My thoughts exactly. Of course, one look at me and she might never invite me back again ... but that one time ought to hold me for several decades ...

[Roy_Bluth]

Who says we need an invite? We could just invite ourselves.

[GreenvilleTexan]

Or, we could hide out in the trees in her back yard with binoculars and zoom video cameras! She'd never think of looking for me there ... twice ...

[Neverending]

My thoughts exactly. Of course, one look at me and she might never invite me back again ... but that one time ought to hold me for several decades ...

I don't know if she would invite me back as well. lol. Being around a naked Erica Durance would make me a walking erection. lol.

But this also brings up something else. Have any of the cast members of the show been invited to her house? Can you imagine Tom, Kristen, and Alison naked in the house along with her?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

the other two i can imagine. Tom, no ;)

Which also reminds me. I wonder who's gonna take over as Sheriff seeing as whatsername was killed by the impostor cops earlier in the season?

[Morg]

after watching that 'flatliners' ripoff I really want Lana to die, I'm getting tired of her character, used to like her but I really fed up with how they use her in the episodes

Maybe they'll cast you as the person to do it? Framp, never gonna happen.

Her name was (Sheriff) Nancy Adams.
