^Excellent! Thanks, bbf2.

[boydston_14]

New news about wrestler Batista being in Smallville: He will be a villain that escapes from th PZ in episode 9. The question is, who will it be?

[Neverending]

Dude give the guy time. He is great as Lex Luthor so I don't think he will have a problem playing zod in lex's body. IMO The scenes I have seen look great and I can't wait for the Season Premiere.

I will. I will. Its just that it seems (based on previews) that he's giving the same performance. He should try to make before roles different.

[Alien]

This CW thing, is that going to affect over sea veiwers at all? Will over sea channels have to bid for the show again?

[sin2x1]

how dose that make any diffrence

Official Description for 602 - SNEEZE:

CLARK DEVELOPS A NEW SUPERPOWER — Clark (Tom Welling) works hard to clean up the destruction done by Zod and develops what he thinks is his first cold. However, he soon discovers it is a new power – super breath! Lois (Erica Durance) lands a job at The Inquisitor, the local tabloid, and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) moves in with Lex (Michael Rosenbaum, who believes someone is following him, which quickly proves to be true after he is kidnapped. Allison Mack, John Glover and Annette O’Toole also star. Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer wrote the episode directed by Paul Shapiro (#2T7702).

Like I said before, "oh ye of little faith." ;)

It's sweet to finally have confirmation.

New news about wrestler Batista being in Smallville: He will be a villain that escapes from th PZ in episode 9. The question is, who will it be?

Yeah I read about that on WWE.com. With John Cena starring in his own movie (The Marine) and Kane already having his own movie (See No Evil) back in May, it'll be cool to see Batista on Smallville. Kinda reminds me of the time when the Rock appeared on Star Trek: Voyager fighting Seven of Nine in the 6th Season.

[Tornado]

Maybe it's the lack of news, but I'm surprised there isn't more excitement for the premiere. Hell, it's only about nine days away (a week from Thursday). I'm super-pumped.

I've gotta finish the DVD set before then though... which I should be able to do, we'll see. I got sidetracked with other things, I'm through "Reckoning," and I'll start off again (likely tonight) with "Vengeance." I'm really looking forward to watching "Oracle" and "Vessel" again... I know they were the two most recent episodes, but it feels like I haven't seen them in a very long time.

Well, I've only gotten through the first three episodes (I wasn't home most of last weekend), so hopefully this weekend I can breeze through the set. :D

[FVD]

Perhaps I can watch the Season Finale again before Season 6 begins just to jog my memory and anticipate the Season Premiere with great enthusiasm. ;)

[Neverending]

The season premiere is only hours away. Its AMAZING how time FLIES! I remember back in May everyone said, "we have to wait till September?" But, to me these past few months have gone by very quickly. Time sure flies.

Some spoilers for the 11 episode of the season have surfaced, including the title:

611 - JUSTICE

Guest Stars: Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow), Alan Ritchson (Arthur "AC" Curry/Aquaman), Kyle Gallner (Bart Allen/The Flash), Lee Thompson Young (Victor Stone/Cyborg)

UPDATED 9/20/06: From the column of TV Guide's Mike Ausiello, some quotes from Alfred Gough: "Episode 11, which is our second episode back in January, is going to be called 'Justice,' and it'll basically be our first look at the Justice League. We're gonna have Green Arrow, Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman, played by Alan Ritchson, who is coming back. That's gonna be our first Justice League episode." And where exactly is Wonder Woman? "Ask Joel Silver," Gough grumbles. "He's the producer; he controls the movie rights. We'd do a whole Wonder Woman series if we had Wonder Woman, but Joss Whedon is writing the movie, so we can't have her."

UPDATED 9/8/06: Wrestling superstar Batista will be guest starring in this episode.

This is going to rock, hardcore.

EDIT - Also, some new pictures went up at K-Site just a minute ago.... I really hate to say it, but I think "Vessel" might have a challenger for the position of my favorite episode in "Zod." It's going to be.... well, super. I just hope 43 minutes is enough to tell the story.

holy hell @ the news on episode 11

best season ever!

[OBSERVER]

Batman would not fit in this series. At their age he would be in school or training somewhere, unless their timelines are different. They already abandoned having Bruce Wayne back in season 3.

[Garrett14]

cool

[boydston_14]

This makes me wonder.......

there's a really cool theory on this episode at the SHH boards involving level 33.1. Personally I'm hoping that this has to do with the PZ villains.

[Spirited Away]

A live action version of JLA would be awesome as a continuation of the Smallville-verse. But I still want my "Metropolis".

[Neverending]

Only hours? I thought it was 9 days. :confused:

Yeah, I got confused. CW launched this week and I thought it would premiere most of its shows. But it isn't! They're waiting a whole week after there launch to premiere stuff. Kinda weird but whatever!

I'd bet Bryan Singer is secretly a producer on the show now. lol.

[Tornado]

Season Six is going to be either incredibly amazing, or pretty bad (depends upon how you look at all the spoilers: are they neat, or are they gimmicky?). I mean, we've got Clark in the Phantom Zone, Zod, Green Arrow, Super Breath, Jimmy Olsen, the Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, the wrestler Batista (hopefully he's playing a "Non" like character from Superman II, just a brute who doesn't speak), Tori Spelling, and now a possible kid from Lex and Lana...

I'm not quite sure what to think, and that'll all in the first 11 episodes.

[Neverending]

Honestly, Tornado, it depends on how the material is handled.

[sshuttari]

hey guys!

sorry to buldge in like this but i was watching the season finale of smallville and i havent seen any episodes for a while, the last episode i saw was 100th episode where clarks dad dies.

but my question is who or what is Zod and how is he significant to the story?

thanks again

I think tornado is probably the best person to answer this, lol

Sure.

In 508 - Solitude, Clark talks to Professor Fine and Milton leads him to believe that it was in fact Jor-El who destroyed his home planet of Krypton (at this point in the story, Clark thought Fine was also a Kryptonian). Fine also told Clark that the only way to completely erase Jor-El's presence on this planet (and the only way to cure Martha's disease, which Clark believed Jor-El was the person who sent the sickness) would be to destroy the Fortress of Solitude. The two take a trip to the Fortress, and Fine hands Clark a black crystal telling him to "stab it into the console" and it'll destroy the Fortress. Clark does so, and the Fortress starts glowing red when Fine pulls out a piece of Kryptonite and holds it against Clark (obviously, the viewer now knows Fine is not a Kryptonian) who then is forced to lay down on a table.

At this point, we see one of the Phantom Zone's prysms start to emerge, with General Zod's face blurred into it. "You are free, General Zod!" It was really Zod who destroyed Krypton, not Jor-El. So then Chloe makes her grand entrance and saves the day, then Clark kicks the **** out of Fine, who they believe dies at this point. The whole point of this process was to find a vessel (hence, the name of the finale) for Zod. Fine of course returns later in search of another vessel (it seems that Fine had two objectives: finding a vessel for Zod, and releasing the "technology-destroying" virus).

Lex starts looking for Fine, and eventually finds him in Honduras where Milton recruits Luthor, and the two start working together (or well that's Lex thinks anyway). But in reality, Fine is preparing Lex to be the vessel for Zod, which is why he injects Lex with that serum in 521 - Oracle, it apparently gave him superpowers. He did this, because it is Zod's BODY that would have powers on Earth, but his body was destroyed. All that was sucked into Lex was Zod's MIND. This way, when Zod arrived in Lex's body, he too would be blessed with Kryptonian-like abilities. And this eventually happens in 522 - Vessel.

Now as for the significance of Zod, well it's kind of simple to be honest. From what I can gather, Fine wants to essentially destroy Earth. With Zod's help, this can be accomplished. With Clark out of commission and stuck in the Phantom Zone, there won't be anyone around to stop Zod.

If you have any more questions, I'll be around.

[Tornado]

Honestly, Tornado, it depends on how the material is handled.

And you're right. But at the same time, it just sounds like some of the things they're going to be doing this season are only being done to boost the ratings. I mean, do we really need Jimmy Olsen? No, of course not. But it'll only lure more people in I'm sure. Same with about half of the things on that list. It'll be pretty neat I'm sure, but I'm really not a fan of introducing Green Arrow either. I mean... who really cares about Green Arrow? He's a poor substitute for Batman.... if they could get the rights to Bruce Wayne, they should have brought him in for seven episodes. Not freakin' Green Arrow. Oh well, we'll find out how neat/gimmicky S6 is going to be next Thursday.

[Neverending]

Did we really need Lois Lane when she was introduced? Of course not! But, hey, it worked. People were curious to see how they were gonna introduce Lois into the Smallville-universe if you wanna call it that. And, it also didn't hurt that Erica Durance is super hot.

Jimmy Olson was brought in because he had sex with Chloe. And, poor girl needs some love! lol. As for Green Arrow. . .it is played by the guy who played Aquaman in the spin-off. So, it should be interesting to see him play Green Arrow now and interact with the guy who played Aquaman in Smallville.

[JheyDC]

Does anyone know what channel the new CW is on in SFO?

It should be either in your old WB or UPN channel.

Are we sure that Fine is meant to be Brainiac? As far s I know Brainiac has never had any interest in Zod before now.

[Freelow]

Does anyone know what channel the new CW is on in SFO?

Well, since I have no idea what SFO stands for (I am assuming San Francisco), you can go to http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-cw-affiliates to see the list of CW affiliates.

If SFO is San Francisco, then your CW will be KBCW, channel 44 (formerly UPN).

Enjoy.

Yeah, he's Brainiac. I'm really hoping he's gonna be in at least the season premier of season 6.

[sshuttari]

but hey thanks tornado...

[Tornado]

Yeah, he's Brainiac. I'm really hoping he's gonna be in at least the season premier of season 6.

Oh I'm sure he will be. He was after all flying the plane with Martha and Lois aboard. Now... weren't there four Brainiacs in "Void" (or maybe it was "Hypnotic," I can't remember)? Where did the last one go? Lionel "killed" one, one was stabbed with the Kryptonian dagger, and the third is flying the plane.... where's the fourth?

Maybe he's in hiding, so he can "pop up" again at some point in the future, I don't know.

I have mixed feelings about these photos! It's great that they're forshadowing his future as reporter Clark Kent. But, at the same time these photos are very Dean Cain-ish! Clark Kent shouldn't be so stylish. This is the same thing they did with Dean Cain in Lois & Clark.

[Tornado]

That's possible. But since it was a deleted scene, I don't count it as part of the Smallville canon. Until the fourth shows up on TV, I consider it a continuity error.

From K-Site:

Rapper Bow Wow To Guest on Smallville?
POSTED 9-25-06

The Hollywood North Report is reporting that rapper Bow Wow is currently filming an episode of Smallville, playing "a dual character on the show."

They claim this is for the episode "Reunion."

We've heard nothing either way about Bow's involvement (apparently that's what he's calling himself now), but the character description matches one of the roles in the episode after "Reunion," which is titled "Fallout."

Stay tuned and we'll see if The CW confirms anything.

UPDATE: Bow Wow's official website says this: "Bow is currently filming WB's (sic) Smallville in Vancouver." Thanks to Damali for the tip!

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

Christ! What the hell for? Damn CW. The show has survived five seasons on pure plot and good acting alone. Now S6 comes around, and they've gotta cast all these no-talent "popular" people? There's really no need for any of this. Just ridiculous.

[Neverending]

Interesting! So, they go from American Rejects to Bow Wow.

A little off the Smallville topic, but this is for CG.

Not that I am condoning the downloading of files, but you will definitely be able to download the show each week after it airs. The fews times that I did miss it, I was able to easily download it.

If you are interested, go to www.demonoid.com. This is one of the easier and best sites I have found for torrents. If you do not belong to it yet, I can throw you an invite so that you can register. Generally, the shows are up on the web within 1 to 2 days max. If you have the bandwidth, the show would be available for download in HD.

All you would need is a torrent program such as ABC or UTorrent. Both work really well - I am currently using ABC (Another Bittorrent Client).

Enjoy.

Tonight's episode is called "Zod". What was the episode you saw about? Because it was probably the season 5 finale.

[Tornado]

*gasp* Less than 10 minutes! Hmm... I wonder if there are new credits. I hope so, or at least I hope they tossed in a few scenes from S5 (at least Clark destroying the missile).

[JheyDC]

Hey Tornado, sorry for asking but where are you from?

[Tornado]

Wisconsin. I'll have a review up shortly after the episode, seeing as how I'm typing it up while it's playing (well, in the breaks anyway).

[Freelow]

Milton Fine = Brain Interactive Construct

At least the show finally answered that one.

[Neverending]

Holy Crap! Terence Stomp's General Zod is also the Zod from Smallville! Did you see when Zod's body was being seperated from Lex it was General Zod from Superman/Superman II?

Well, anyway, tonight's episode was AWESOME. Although, once again, I was disappointed by the lack of a badass fight scene.

[Angelixx]

pretty damn awesome episode....like...really really loved it....i kinda had a guilty pleasure of seeing that thing go through lana's hand :twisted:

nowumm...the ending...uhh...yeah why the **** is a dementor from hp coming outta the waterfall in argentina??

[JheyDC]

^Anymore details you can give us?

[WuTical]

this episode was great

Clark and Zod's fight was short but very sweet

and the music playing after Zod was sent back was GREATNESS

thumbs up to Clark on going to check on Lois at the hospital...a good step for them


lol @ Lionel...he never stops




next week looks alright....i thought it was gonna be about his new power though

[Freelow]

If I saw it right, 4 others came out of the Phantom Zone with Clark.

And, I am happy that Chloe will finally be getting the attention that she so deserves. As much as I prefer brunettes over blonds, I would definitely have chosen Chloe over Lana.

Go get some Chloe. :)

Hey Angelixx, you are not the only one who was happy to see Lana get hers handed to her by Zod.

[Neverending]

So, how is this pregnancy thing gonna work out? When I heard the rumors I'm like, "Bryan Singer must be secretly producing the show now." Then, in tonight's episode, Zod wanted an heir from Lana. So I'm like, "oh I see how Lana is gonna get pregnant." Then, nothing happens. I guess Lex and Lana are really gonna have a kid. . .if the rumors were true.

601 - ZOD: REVIEW
Written By: Steven S. DeKnight
Directed By: James Marshall
SPOILERS AHEAD - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/zod-20.jpg

Well, here we go. After months of building up and speculation, we've finally arrived on the day of the premiere of Season 6. Last season left off with all of our primary characters in mortal peril: Clark (Tom Welling) had been imprisoned in the Phantom Zone by Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) who has become the vessel for General Zod, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) has decided to stand by Lex no matter what, Chloe (Allison Mack) and Lionel (John Glover) had been knocked out in the streets of Metropolis and finally, Lois (Erica Durance) and Martha (Annette O'Toole) were unconscious on a LuthorCorp jet being flown by Milton Fine (James Marsters). Whoa! With promises of super-breath, Jimmy Olsen, and the Green Arrow amongst other spoilerish topics, will Season 6 be considered, well.... "super" or gimmicky? I'll start from the beginning.

The opening shots with Clark and his fall were great. I really liked the design of the Phantom Zone. It's not really how I've always pictured it, but it's still great. The creatures that attacked Clark were phenomenally created, they just looked really neat. I was kind of surprised that they were animated that way, they just didn't feel very "Smallville-ish," which in this case is a good thing. And the new credits were great too, glad to see some S5 stuff thrown in, and it looked like even a little bit from S6 as well.

We're finally treated to some Zod, in the form of flying away with Lana... pretty neat. Chloe and Lionel working together was pretty cool, especially Lionel's feeling that Jor-El has erased his presence from his former oracle. Zod and Lana's scene with the ship was terrific, I really like Rosenbaum portraying Zod. I wasn't a fan of the idea back in May, but now it makes perfect sense and I'm very glad TPTB didn't actually go out and cast an actor for the role. Martha's scene with Jor-El was satisfying, I figured she would go there eventually to talk to him. But him saying he couldn't have wished for a better Earth parent for Clark was neat, and a great ending between likely the only contact the two will ever have.

"If there was a way for you to save everyone you loved, wouldn't you risk dying?"

Twenty minutes in the Phantom Zone really matured Clark, haha. I'm kidding. I already don't like Jimmy Olsen... I'm being completely serious. He wasn't on screen for more than a few minutes, but he's already my least favorite character. Lex destroying the virus was an interesting turn of events, I was kind of wondering how Clark would manage to fix that one, guess he doesn't have to. Lana having her hand impaled was amusing, to me anyway. I'm not a Lana fan if you didn't know. And as for Clark being led to the Gateway by Raya and encountering Nam-Ek... I could have sworn they were going to recast that character. Either they didn't (which would make me glad) or they did, and they did a tremendous job of finding somebody who looks and sounds a lot like him.

I'm glad Lana was discovered before she could kill Lex/Zod as I really don't want Lana to become uber-important in the storylines just for the hell of it, that and I do like seeing her smacked around a little bit. And of course, now we're treated to more corniness from Jimmy ("Since when are there earthquakes in Metropolis?!?")... I really hate him. He's going to ruin every scene he is in. I'm not surprised that Raya was killed in the Zone (although, according to future spoilers, she shows up again so we'll see I guess). Clark's escape from the Zone was pretty neat, hopefully TPTB didn't blow their whole FX budget on this one episode.

"Kneel before Zod. Kneel."

WHOA! What an awesome fight, easily the best on this show. I really just loved the whole thing, especially Zod just beating the hell out of Clark until he eventually just crushed him right through that boulder. The whole "kneel" scene was pretty well done, I was impressed to be honest. Seeing Zod leaving Lex's body was interesting, this was the second time we've been treated to an image (well, sort of) of what Zod actually looks like, both times looking like Terrence Stamp's version of the character in Superman II. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Zod shows up with his own body at some point this season. And with that look in Clark's eye at the tail end... I think he might have finally figured out what his symbol will eventually be on his costume.

I've never been a fan of Durance's portrayal of Lois Lane, but scenes like the one between her and Clark at the end of the episode make me want to like her... I'm really hoping we're going to have more scenes between these two throughout the season. And of course, more Jimmy now. Great. I'm disappointed that the kiss between Clark and Chloe was just brushed off again (although, I think Clark was genuinely disappointed so we'll see how this one works out), but I think the only way Clark is going to mature more toward Superman is if he spends some time alone.

So how does the episode end? On four, count 'em four, cliffhangers: the Fortress is now dead apparently, it seems like Lionel is trying to teach himself Kryptonian, Lex will probably have a new obsession in the broken artifact left behind by Zod, and Clark will be dealing with escaped Kryptonian "Phantoms" in the coming weeks. Awesome.

8/10

Why an 8/10 when I seemed to be praising the episode throughout the entire review? Because I really don't like Jimmy Olsen. I was never terribly excited about him coming to town, and now that he's here I'm even less enthused. Not to mention, for a season premiere I thought the episode wasn't quite as strong as they normally are. As far as I'm concerned, this was probably the worst season starter. Is this a sign of things to come? Honestly, I hope not.

Hopefully next week with the introduction of super-breath will be better, the preview looked interesting.

You've really gotta get in the habit of tagging these things bud. Not everybody is like us and wants to read every tidbit of information.

I disagree, Torn, this had to be the best season opener (well, it's up there anyways). I can't wait to see what they have planned for the Zod story for the rest of the season.

I agree with Boydston. This was the best season opener. Each season we get closer and closer to Superman. And, thats what I want. . .SUPERMAN! Now, with Green Arrow on the show and the beginning of the Justice League this should be a great season.

And, you were hard on Jimmy Olson. He wasn't too bad.

[Tornado]

Honestly, there's no comparison in my mind:

1. "Exile" (just fantastic on every level)
2. "Crusade" (Clark--- excuse me, Kal-El flying was wonderful)
3. "Arrival" (Chloe sharing secrets, the Fortress, and the introduction of Brainiac)
4. "Pilot" (perfect start to the show)
5. "Vortex" (I really wish I could rate this higher, but there are only two scenes I really love - Clark saving Lana in the tornado and of course, Clark thinking he was flying, just beautiful)
6. "Zod" (pretty cool with the Clark V. Zod fight, but Jimmy Olsen is just a pain)

[Neverending]

All those season openers were good but this was closer to the Superman stories we all know and love. We saw the inside of the Phantom Zone. Who would have ever thought six years ago that we would see that? Zod was here! One of Superman's best villains next to Luthor, Darkseid, Doomsday, and Brainic. Clark is FINALLY starting to trust Jor-El as well as gain respect for him. And, to top it all off we got a scene that forshadows the romance betweem Lois & Clark. Actually TO TOP IT we got Lana get stabbed! C'mon, dude, this is good stuff.

Well, yeah we're obviously getting closer to Superman. But that's not due to the quality of the show, that's because we're moving forward in time. And as for the idea of this being a great season due to the Green Arrow and the Justice League, I 100% completely disagree with you. In fact, those are two reasons I can see that will hurt this season. The show is about Clark and his growth. This isn't supposed to be a live version of the Justice League.

I had no problem with the Flash, because it showed Clark he wasn't alone. If they introduced Bruce Wayne, I wouldn't have a problem with it; Bruce would show Clark that you don't need superpowers to make a difference in the world and Clark would walk away a better man. If they brought on Wonder Woman, that'd be fine; mainly because it would introduce Clark to a woman superhero. But when we start getting into characters like Aquaman, Cyborg (alright, I don't like the character, but it was a pretty good episode - I'll admit it), and now the Green Arrow... I just don't know. We'll find out I guess.

And, you were hard on Jimmy Olson. He wasn't too bad.

I wasn't any harder on Olsen than he deserved. They should have written the character to be more like Huntington's interpretation in the newest film, that was who Jimmy Olsen should be. The only thing I like about Smallville's Olsen, is the fact that he's likely going to be calling Clark "C.K."

[boydston_14]

My favorite scene had to be the Stamp-Zod we all know and love seen coming from Lex. I really hope that we get to see a Stamp-like Zod (the actual Zod) sometime in the near future.

Yeah, I know. I didn't say it was bad, I still gave it an 8/10. Lots of cool things happened, but there were some negatives too, more than I would have liked for a season premiere.

Do you read Superman comics? Or saw the cartoons from the `90s? Everything we're getting this season is typical Superman stuff. It's not gonna affect the purpose of the show. Like I told you a few days ago, "it all depends on how the material is handled." If the writing is good then you have nothing to worry about. Everything we're getting is typical Superman stuff. In comics you always have storylines that are told through several titles. You know? So, I don't think it'll get in the way of the purpose of the show. PLUS it should help improve those filler episodes we all hate. Remember last season's episode with Chloe being haunted? Talk about trash. At least this season we can get a cool filler with an early Justice League.

I wasn't any harder on Olsen than he deserved. They should have written the character to be more like Huntington's interpretation in the newest film, that was who Jimmy Olsen should be. The only thing I like about Smallville's Olsen, is the fact that he's likely going to be calling Clark "C.K."

That's you, bud. I like it when Jimmy Olson's character is played around with a little bit. The little kid who sucks up to everybody is good background characters but Jimmy Olson is becoming more important as the years go by. I like Jimmy's with better characterization. In fact, thats why my favorite Jimmy Olson is the one from the first season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The one they fired because they thought he looked too much like Dean Cain. That guy was awesome. He was such a pervert and always trying to sleep with that hot reporter woman.

So, I like this new Jimmy Olson. He ain't too bad. PLUS, Chloe is finally gonna start having sex. We all know the poor girl needs some love.

[boydston_14]

That was pretty cool. I don't know if I had a favorite scene or not, I did really like the fight but Clark's scene with Lois at the end was great too.

Yeah, I liked that scene too. Everytime they foreshadow something between those two is funny. I couldn't help but laugh during that scene.

It doesn't really matter if I read Superman comics or watch the cartoons (for the record, I do) because this isn't a show about Superman. This is Clark Kent. There's a HUGE difference.

[Neverending]

Yeah, I liked that scene too. Everytime they foreshadow something between those two is funny. I couldn't help but laugh during that scene.

I'll admit season 4 stuff used to make me laugh. But, now I just get excited. When they were holding hands I was like, "thats perfect!" I think its too soon for a romance because Lois falls in love with Superman first. But, its perfect timing for some attraction between the two. Maybe some flirtation or whatever. Nothing where they fall in love with each other but some lust I guess.

By the way, I brought up fillers before. Something just occurred to me. Do these people fall into the filler trap. Tonight's episode cause have been expanded into several episodes. Clark didn't have to be trapped in the Phantom Zone for 20 minutes. He could have been there for several episodes. That lady (I already forgot her name) could have told him stories about Jor-El. In the meantime we could have had Zod make some public appearences. It's kind of weird that no one besides the prinicpal characters even knew that Zod existed. I can imagine people are the world were like, "what the hell just happened." I thought Zod would go on television and start ranting like in Superman II. That would have made more sense.

We could be filler-free if they took their time with these stories. Expand on several areas.

[Neverending]

It doesn't really matter if I read Superman comics or watch the cartoons (for the record, I do) because this isn't a show about Superman. This is Clark Kent. There's a HUGE difference.

Huge is a strong word. There really isn't much of a difference. We have Kal-EL, Clark Kent, and Superman. I know the show has taken liberties but Kal-El is truly who he is. All he did was take aspects from his personality and create Clark Kent and Superman. So, what we're seeing right now is Kal-El. Eventually he'll take aspects of his personality and create Clark Kent and Superman. So, when you say HUGE difference that really isn't so.

Just remember this quote:
"His name is Kal-El. He'll call himself Clark Kent. But, the world will know him as Superman."

[Tornado]

Just remember this quote:
"His name is Kal-El. He'll call himself Clark Kent. But, the world will know him as Superman."

Which, as far as I know is from the Superman: The Movie trailer (I think so anyway, maybe I'm wrong there). Not Smallville. There's a HUGE difference.

[Angelixx]

Hey Angelixx, you are not the only one who was happy to see Lana get hers handed to her by Zod.

haha excellent ;)

and i forgot to mention my love for the clark/louis moment at the end...i laughed out loud....that was just....urgh it was gold lol


and as for jimmy olsen...yeah i cant stand him....i was dissapointed cus i love sean ashmore and he just annoyed the crap outta me in this episode....he reminds me of every single arrogant jackass at my school...blargh oh well at least chloe probably gets some lovin now

[Neverending]

Which, as far as I know is from the Superman: The Movie trailer (I think so anyway, maybe I'm wrong there). Not Smallville. There's a HUGE difference.

So what if its from the trailer? Its true. Even Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh said that was their approach. There's Kal-El, Clark Kent, and Superman. Right now on Smallville there's only one but you'll see towards the end of the show they'll introduce the concept of Kal-EL/Clark Kent/Superman. Maybe even sooner than that. On tonights episode, Clark said, "I don't know what to do anymore" or something along those lines. After everything that occurred during season 5 he's questioning the direction he wants to take with his life. So, we may see early signs of the KAL-EL/Clark Kent/Superman scenario. So, there really isn't a huge difference like you say. Everything Clark is right now on Smallville he'll eventually break into several personas. Of course they'll take several liberties since they've already introduced so many characters that shouldn't have been introduced at this point in his life but they'll do figure something out to pull off the KAL-EL/Clark Kent/Superman scenario. Its such a big part of his character that they just can't ignore it. Every interpretation of the character includes his three personas.

[Wolverine]

Dude it's not Sean Ashmore it's Adam is twin Brother.

[Tornado]

Dude it's not Sean Ashmore it's Adam is twin Brother.

His name is Aaron Ashmore.

And Neverending, honestly I just don't care to argue anymore. I stopped caring several posts ago. You liked the episode a lot. I felt it could be better. Deal with it.

[boydston_14]

Yeah, let's all just agree to disagree. I personally liked the episode whereas you bring up a good point: Jimmy wasn't that good.

[Tornado]

Well I just got done watching it again, I liked it a lot more on the second run. It's probably not the worst premiere, but I still really hate Jimmy.

[Neverending]

Dude it's not Sean Ashmore it's Adam is twin Brother.

I'd bet that's confusing everyone now. People are like, "why is Iceman playing Jimmy Olson now." lol.

[JheyDC]

So...I have a question....

Sincy LEX (Zod at the time) took that briefcase from the Pentagon, wouldn't they worry where their suitcase went or wouldn't they know who took it?

Just a question to change the subject a little.

[Angelixx]

Dude it's not Sean Ashmore it's Adam is twin Brother.


first of all dude...umm im a girl so dont call me dude thanks

and by the way....its Aaron ashmore not adam....theyre twin brothers...sorry for the confusion twins tend to look the same at times

and i just thought of something.....didnt shawn ashmore play eric summors in smallville??? and now aarons gonna play jimmy olsen....but theyre just gonna ignore the fact that now the bad guy and the annoying new goodie guy look the same???? urgh i hate twins

[boydston_14]

Ladies and gentlemen....behold:


ZOD!!!

[GreenvilleTexan]

OK, the episode was pretty cool, but as is always the case with this show there were just too many freakin' unanswered questions and conveniences in the plot.
One, how come Clark lost his powers in the Phantom Zone, but the others trapped in there did not?
Two, how did Clark know that the crystal would have that effect on Zod. I don't remember Rya or whatever her name was telling him that.
How did Lionel, Martha and Lana happen to arrive in the barn at exactly the same time?
How did Martha explain to Lois how they got from the north pole to Smallville?
And, again, for who knows how many times, Lana faints (or is knocked unconscious, or turns away or closes her eyes, etc.) at exactly the moment Clark walks in the door to use his powers. They've just gone to the well one too many times in that case, at least for me.
Overall, a good episode, but just those constant nagging plot holes bug the crud out of me.

Tell me about it, when I saw Lana knocked out again, I was like "Damn this girl still doesn't know how to control her breathing by now". I mean how many times has she been chocked an everytime she fainted?

As for the whole "Crystal" that pulled ZOD out of Lex's body I didn't even know Clark had that. I thought I missed something but I watched it again this morning and didn't see that chick give it to him.

Actually I think everyone else doesn't have powers in the Phantom Zone except for the Phantoms. (Well wasn't really sure if they had powers, all they did was glide and beat up Clark)

When Clark was in the PZ, he seemed like a little whimp. I mean even the chick kicked him around. With all them muscles and the height, I couldn't believe it.

[FVD]

I enjoyed the episode. And I didn't think Jimmy was really that bad if you ask me.

[Sora Kahn]

The episode, 'Zod', was very good. What I liked about it was that it didn't flow like the typical Smallville episode. It had a more Sci Fi flare and I loved it.

Zod's portrayal was handled well and Michael's acting was superbe. I think Clark could've been a little tougher in this episode. He was getting punched, thrown, and almost killed and he didn't even lift a finger to protect himself. I would've loved to see Zod versus silver kryptonite infected Clark( who was lethal).

Now the Zod fight. The visuals were good but the fight itself was awful. It was basically Zod doing all the punching and Clark seeing if he really is Superman and can survive the whole thing. Still the best fight on this series was the Johnathan/Clark fight in Season 3.

One thing I found really hilarious in this episode was that Lana got smacked hard in the face by Zod and didn't get knocked out by the blow. And yet when he simply picks her up by the throat, she faints. To make it funnier, she faints the very moment Clark steps in with his super powers. You know, the other times when she miraculously faints when Clark came were a little more understandable. This time it can make a person raise their eyebrow. Her KO was a little more unrealistic because it was WAY too convenient and silly especially after she got bashed hard across the head and didn't faint.

I know they want to keep Lana from finding out Clark's secret. But they really need to come up with a better way because it's now becoming very predictable. It's so predictable, that whenever Lana is in trouble and Clark comes to rescue her we automatically know that in some unbelievable way she's going to get knocked out.

But besides that Lana issue, I thought 'Zod' was awesome and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Clark because it seems like all his friends are leaving him.

[Road Warrior]

Zod was an awesome episode. Looking forward to tonight's episode.

[Tornado]

Yep, should be a good one. I kind of forgot it was on tonight, I've been so wrapped up in Lost (SEASON 3!).

[JheyDC]

I've been wrapped up at work...Thanks for reminding me its on tonight!!!

602 - SNEEZE: REVIEW
Written By: Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer
Directed By: Paul Shapiro
SPOILERS AHEAD - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/theanomaly2/sneeze003.jpg

I’ll be the first to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with last week’s premiere. The idea was fantastic, and for the most part it was very good, but there were still a few elements I thought could be improved upon (Jimmy Olsen immediately springs to mind here). But my hopes were still very high going into this one: we were told we’d see the debut of Clark’s newest power - super breath, Oliver Queen AKA the Green Arrow would be making his first appearance in Smallville, and Lois Lane would apparently land a reporting gig at the Inquisitor (while it’s sudden, at least Gough and Millar didn’t flip the Jesus switch and let her be a full-fledged writer at the Daily Planet). How did the newest episode fair? Here we go.

Well to kick things off, the cold opening was great. I love the idea of a Dark Thursday, and I think it’s great that not only is Clark cleaning up quite a bit of it (and the news-reporters being mistaken as to how Metropolis is being fixed) but Clark has also realized that it’s his fault Zod was released. And he also knows that if he had listened to Jor-El “for once” (hahahaha) nothing bad would have happened. And finally we’re treated to our first view of super-breath in the form of a sneeze that blew the farm door off its hinges, and apparently sent it flying away. Of course, Lois is there to see it land during her jog.

Cutting back to the show after the opening titles (I really love them, I really, really do), we get to see some more fantastic play between Clark (hey! he’s not wearing the red jacket! woohoo!), an incredibly ditzy Lois, and Martha. Honestly, I was laughing out loud during this scene. Clark sneezing and blowing away a bunch of papers at the Daily Planet was pretty neat, I like that Chloe is getting involved in this story. In the past episodes like these, she didn’t know Clark’s secret so it’s kind of neat to see different interaction between the two. And all scenes between Lex and Lionel are great, no matter what’s going on. But they’re even better when Lex ends up being knocked out at the end (any idea how many times this has happened during the series? I’m not complaining, it’s just a fairly common occurrence to be knocked out on this show).

Yeah, so Lex has been caught by one of my least favorite actors in Lochlyn Munro (he was in Scary Movie) and is being tortured for information basically. It’s not terribly exciting to be honest. Clark, Martha, and Lionel share a scene - Lionel warns Clark about Lex possibly still having some knowledge as to what happened on Dark Thursday and that the truth about Clark may surface because of it. Oh, and we get some discussion between Lois and Chloe, with the latter trying to cover for Clark’s super breath mis-use. Oh, and oh boy, more Lex torturing.

It’s great that Lois is misspelling words in her story, a nice nod to Superman: The Movie. And then of course, we get to see the seemingly unexplained *****y side of Lana when dealing with Clark. Sure, he’s made some mistakes and he’s not quite the boyfriend he should have been, but wow. She genuinely hates him, and I’m not sure I really understand that. Lana is a moron, plain and simple. And oh boy, we’re treated to our first scene with Oliver Queen. Honestly, I like him. I like his sense of sarcasm and pompousness; it should make for some interesting scenes between him and Lex, and eventually Clark as well. So yeah, so far I like the Green Arrow. Nicely done, CW. And ah yes, more Lex torturing.

“I’m no hero, Chloe.”

I have mixed feelings about this comment Clark makes. On the one hand, he’s so wrong it’s not even funny; he saves people’s lives on pretty much a daily basis, and he always puts others before his own well being. But on the other hand, he does make some very poor decisions, and while he does save the day in the end, he often makes the situation worse than it needs to be. And oh wow, I loved the scene in Pontius’s office. The FX for super breath are incredible, they’re just, wow. I was really impressed by how they decided on such a fantastic look for them. And then he saved Lex and Lana’s lives at the warehouse with his new found power. Another great scene.

"How about... Borneo?"

And two of the final three scenes were just wonderful (I’m sick of Lex and Lana being together). Clark using super breath to blow away the dark clouds, beautiful. I really love super breath, and this was certainly my favorite episode as far as the power shows go. Heat was great, as was X-Ray, but Sneeze was just amazing in just about every category. And the final shots with Queen with his firing an arrow directly into the globe of the Daily Planet were pretty fantastic too. I could get used to Oliver Queen being around on the show. Great, great episode.

9/10 (yeah, I felt it was better than Zod)

[boydston_14]

I must agree, this was an awesome episode. I have a feeling that GA is gonna be just as awesome as Brainiac was last season.

[Neverending]

Unforunately I missed the first half. But, thankfully caught the rest. It seemed like a pretty cool episode. Clark has super breath, Lois is a reporter now, and Oliver was cool.

[FVD]

Damn I can't wait to see this. Super Breath. About time. :D

[Sora Kahn]

The episode was great. Much better than last week's episode. I like how Clark learned how to use his superbreath.

And I'm not so sure about the GA yet. I think he's going to be annoying. And i don't like the fact that Lois is going to have a thing for him.

[sshuttari]

GA is sweet!!

I cant wait for the next episode

[Neverending]

I may have brought this up a number of times over the years but isn't Lois Lane the biggest slut in the DC universe? lol. I saw the preview for Thursdays episode for like the 2nd time and I just started laughing during her conversation with Green Arrow. Seriously. . .how many guys has this girl slept with? In various incarnations and adaptations, of course.

[FVD]

Sneeze was a very good episode. Clark learning of his superbreath power was awesome to watch. It was also nice to see Lois finally discovering her purpose in life even if it means a few typos and spelling errors here and there.

As for her being a slut well I guess she does need to do whatever it takes to get the story...once she becomes the star reporter at the Daily Planet. Or the Inquisitor she wrote an article for.

[Neverending]

It was also nice to see Lois finally discovering her purpose in life even if it means a few typos and spelling errors here and there.

lol. Thats what I love about Donner's version. Lois is a brilliant reporter but her flaw is that she can't spell to save her life. lol.

As for her being a slut well I guess she does need to do whatever it takes to get the story...once she becomes the star reporter at the Daily Planet. Or the Inquisitor she wrote an article for.

But, its true that she's gotten laid several times in every incarnation and adaptation. Lois has even slept with Superman three times. . .atleast last time I counted. In the comics, Superman II/Returns, and the Lois & Clark show. Plus, she's dated like every superhero. From Batman to Aquaman and now Green Arrow.

[Alien]

Well she does marry Superman in the end I hope she slept with him of it'd be a weird marriage.

[Neverending]

Well, atleast in the comics they waited till they got married. Something that didn't happen in Superman II. And, in the Lois & Clark show they waited till marriage but I recall an episode or two in which they were tempted. Like, that virtual reality episode. Remember that one? Superman was attacked by some WWF-type wrestler in a virtual reality game. lol. Oh man! That show was hilarious. And, Lois asked Clark if he was a virgin. He said "yes" and she is upset that she didn't wait. And feels like a slut. Actually. . .didn't Lois sleep with Lex on that show. I remember they dated at the beginning of the series.

[Alien]

Even if they didn't wait till they got married they still end up married so what does it matter?

[Neverending]

Even if they didn't wait till they got married they still end up married so what does it matter?

It doesn't in my opinion, but many are sensative about that since Superman is promoting sex before marriage. Just like he's promoting child out of wedlog (or however you spell it) in Superman Returns. It's a controversial thing. They even talked about that in the Bryan Singer Superman documentary. Margot Kidder even said that now she regrets sleeping with Superman in the sequel.

[Alien]

I won't say he was promoting it, it's not like he's running around as fast as a speeding bullet (coz apparently that's his only speed...) telling people that's it is the must do thing of the centaury.

[Tornado]

This episode already kind of sucks... plus, Lex's whole line about girls regarding them moving in with him "But I've never asked one of them to move in with me." WHAT?!? He's been married twice for Christ's sake. While he may not have explicitly asked them to move in with him, it's sure as hell implied.

[Neverending]

It's nice to see that we agree again, Tornado. Ol'buddy, ol'pal :) And, I don't like this Gloria lady a/k/a Poison Ivy rip-off.

[jixer27@msn.com]

does anyone know the song that they played at the end of season6 episode 3 of smallville on 10.12.06. the lyrics were " have i told you that i ain't for you".
please help. thanks:confused:

[boydston_14]

There was alot going on in this episode, and now I know why Torn didn't like JO. I'm not his biggest fan either. The special FX during the scene where Gloria caught Jimmy really sucked, but seeing Oliver in the episode was worth the crappy storyline of a Poison Ivy rip-off. Let's hope next week's episode is better than tonight's.

[Tornado]

603 - WITHER

Yeah.... that episode just sucked. It sucked so much I'm going to be skipping my full-analysis on the episode, and just stick to this paragraph. Hopefully we don't see another bad one for a while, if that is this year's Thirst then I'm going to consider ourselves lucky. Jimmy Olsen was just a pain, but more Oliver Queen action was neat (especially the arrow through the tab on the soda can). Next week should be better. I did however like the ending to the show; we had Jimmy and Chloe, Lois and Oliver, and Clark playing with the baseball by himself... and seeming perfectly content doing it (a great sign).

5/10

[Neverending]

Yeah, I loved the end. Green Arrow is a badass.

[Tornado]

Yeah. You all know how opposed I was to the Green Arrow making a series of appearances on the show, but I honestly like him a lot. We haven't had a young sarcastic male on the show in a while, really since Pete left way back in S3, so it's a nice change. I'm still not a fan of Justin Hartley, but he hasn't really done anything to make me dislike his character yet.

[Darth Maul]

eh the episode was eh half of me says wtf and the other says hey its pretty good, so I have mixed feelings. Ya I hate the poison ivy ripp off, I felt that the creators could have done a different character. Is it just me or is it this season theyve been making clark weak...ne 1 want to clarify? :P....and not sound harsh but it seems pretty lame shes sleeping with lex now, seems really sleezy.:omg: . eh I dono maybe its just a dumb ramble. hehehe. what else do you guys think about the episode? I really hope they have clark kickin butt again. And Ya Green arrow is awsome. :cool: I def think next episode will get better.

[Neverending]

Yeah. You all know how opposed I was to the Green Arrow making a series of appearances on the show, but I honestly like him a lot. We haven't had a young sarcastic male on the show in a while, really since Pete left way back in S3, so it's a nice change. I'm still not a fan of Justin Hartley, but he hasn't really done anything to make me dislike his character yet.

I see your point since Green Arrow is an excuse to have a Batman-esque character. Not that the female vigilante last season wasn't Batman-esque but Oliver Green is very Bruce Wayne. But, like you said he's been awesome so far. I loved his scenes with Lois Lane. In the last episode I was like, "he seems pretty interesting." And, in this episode I said, "this guy is awesome." Justin really has good chemistry with Erica. I think its the best chemistry on the show so far.

[bbf2]

This show is getting kinda lame and hard to watch. I don't know why I keep watching it. I watched the first thirty minutes and got distracted, and now I don't know if I even want to both downloading the rest.

[sshuttari]

I think the previews for this show really turned me away from this episode, in the promos for this the show, they showed GA doing bad as stuff and I was thinking Clark Kent and GA are going to team up to fight some badies. But all that I was left with by the end was this Posion ivy rip off chic who clark killed with sprinklers and electricity. LAME

not to mention Lana and Lex getting it on? what the hell is that?

the more I watch the lana character the more annoyed I get, I seriously would not care if they killer her off the show.

The only part I even enjoyed was GA shooting the top of the coke can off and The All American Rejects.

This episode compared to last weeks was a huge let down...

anyways I guess we get to finally see GA in action next week, which is always a good thing to look forward too. Hopefully it will be better then this episode im pretty sure.

[Neverending]

Yeah, I'm definitly looking forward to seeing Green Arrow in action. Its what the show needs since Clark wastes too much time trying to win Lana's love and questioning Jor-El. Dumbass.

[Neverending]

Does anyone visit Smallville's myspace account? www.myspace.com/smallville well, anyway, I think they just took down the thread in which people ***** about tonights episode. lol. I saw it earlier tonight and now I can't find it. WTF?

[Sora Kahn]

The only good thing about this episode was Clark's storyline. Everything else was meh. I'm glad Clark isn't with a girl. He doesn't need to be involved in this soap operish crap. Seeing him hanging out in his room thinking to himself at the end was great.

Why everyone loves this GA is beyond me.

[Darth Maul]

Cause hes the only character on the show that can shoot a BOW! :P

[Freelow]

This show is getting kinda lame and hard to watch. I don't know why I keep watching it. I watched the first thirty minutes and got distracted, and now I don't know if I even want to both downloading the rest.

I was trying to find a way to describe how I feel about Smallville and this posting hits it on the head.

Last night's show definitely disappointed me - average at best. I think the rating of 5 of 10 was generous of Tornado.

I hope this show gets a lot better because I think I am getting closer to not watching this show.

[Tornado]

Last night's show definitely disappointed me - average at best. I think the rating of 5 of 10 was generous of Tornado.

Without the last five minutes or so I would have probably 3/10'd that sucker. But the scenes with Oliver/Lois/the soda can and Clark alone made it quite a bit better in my opinion.

[Neverending]

Without the last five minutes or so I would have probably 3/10'd that sucker. But the scenes with Oliver/Lois/the soda can and Clark alone made it quite a bit better in my opinion.

I agree. Plus, every scene with Lois and Oliver I loved. They really had good chemistry together.

[JheyDC]

Hey guys, a few good pointers from the show last night.

-Chloe is finally getting some lovin'. Clark is fine with it. Chloe deserves it. She's been through so much and she's always giving advise to others about their love life. Now she can focus on her own.

-Green Arrow was really amazing. I thought the whole Oliver/Lois vibe was a good mix to the show. Especially the part when he came to the house for Martha and Lois answered the door. That was funny.

-Lois looked mighty hot in that dress. She likes to flirt a lot doesn't she. Sometimes you don't even know if she is flirting because of her sarcasm.

Now the whole Lana/Lex thing. "The Next Lex Girl"..come on woman...the whole world does not revolve around you. Stop being so stupid already. She is so frickin sensative...I swear...her character has not changed...

The writers have to do better than the whole poison ivy thing. I thought for some reason when Clark was looking at the poison ivy lady, I knew she was from the Phantom Zone but I thougth she was the one who stabbed Miya (is that her name?) Also the way Clark destroyed her was kind of quick in my opinion, I was like, oh look she's teleporting but then again she was dead....Anyway...the season needs to pick up...If they do show Green Arrow in action next week, it better blow our minds away...I mean....POW...

But you have to give them props, some negative some positive feedback...thats where they get their ideas...

[OBSERVER]

They're still using the same character credits from last season. What's with that?

[sshuttari]

This season really does need to pick up... Last season was really great, alot of stuff happened its like... there running out of ideas or something.

[JheyDC]

We'll just see how tonight's episode compares.

[Tornado]

Oooh... cool cold opening. This could be a good one.

[WuTical]

wow

that was a real bad Batman rip off

[JheyDC]

Oooh... cool cold opening. This could be a good one.


So any update? How's the episode?:alien:

[Road Warrior]

Damn! I just got home, so I missed the episode. What are the chances this episode will end up on YouTube? I did a quick search right now but got nothing.

Think it'll be online in a few hours?

[WuTical]

real good episode but stop with the fake Batman music

[Tornado]

So any update? How's the episode?:alien:

I've kind of lost interest in doing the big, scene by scene reviews I used to do. But Arrow was a pretty good episode, I liked the interaction between Clark and Ollie, especially the end dialogue between those two. Probably the second or third best of the season thusfar (way better than Wither, and about on par with Zod).

[boydston_14]

Awesome episode tonight. The only thing I didn't really like was the Lana scene in the elevator with Dr. Groll. Lana is seriously evil now. Even more so than Lex in some ways. Weird.

[Darth Maul]

That was a great episode! Ya i understand the Lana thing, its kinda annoying but I guess she feels happy with lex so she wants to show devotion and be like lex. But great action sequences with Green Arrow, Woulda been awsome if Clark and Ollie shook hands in the end heheh, but not gonna happen just yet heheh.

[JheyDC]

Wow, that whole Lana thing. I guess since this is her first at being *mean* like Lex, I'm not use to it...Probably in the future episodes I will....She is just like Lex...At some point in the episode i didn't even know what side she was on...I was like...Okay?!....

[boydston_14]

The director's cut for Reunion is on over at the CW site. Link: http://www.cwtv.com/video

Warning: Lex gets pretty punch happy in the clip.

[Neverending]

Holy crap! I was just checking my Direct TV guide and today (Sunday) CW will re-air Arrow at 7pm

[Neverending]

I hate to double-post but last reminder! Arrow repeat RIGHT NOW on CW.

[iwish7284]

I thought whither could have been one of the worst episodes in the series so far. That villain was ridiculous. The actor who plays GA kind of sucks. The dialogue between him and lois something around "i'd like to kick your tiny butt" "well i have been working out my glutes". i know that quote is off but thats the gist of it. I know it was ment to be corny but that was just plain stupid.

I think they casted lois' character all wrong. She looks plastic.

The whole lana deal is pissing me off too, like the other guy said i wouldn't care if they killed her off. Everything she is doing right now violates her previous character that they took 5 seasons developing. The thing that saved the last episode is the dialogue between GA and clark about clark only helping when friends come to him. He doesn't go out and look for people to help. It paves the way for clark to actually become a super hero

[Neverending]

Was she naked? I need to re-watch that episode now.

[OBSERVER]

I was wrong. They are 2 different people. The more recent girl is credited for being in Season 4's Ageless too. They shouldn't cast people who look so similar or use the same actor for different roles. It's confusing.

[Alien]

Was she naked? I need to re-watch that episode now.
Yeah, didn't see walk out of the cave naked and then get his by a car or something? She ended up on the Kents door step and I think she was still naked then too.

[Neverending]

It's been a while. I'm gonna have to re-watch that now. lol.

[Tornado]

Tonight should be a good one. For the first time since the premiere I'm really pumped for a new episode. I was looking forward to Sneeze as well, but not like this. The Lex flashback episode rocked, Memoria. Need I say more?

[Tornado]

Tonight wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. It's been a long time since we've had a FOTW actually be somewhat relevant to ongoing storylines.

Next week should rock though. Clark embracing his destiny with the "S" shield? Hell yes. I can't wait.

[Neverending]

I agree that tonight's episode wasn't too good. Arrow (in my opinion) was an awesome episode and I think that's the direction this show should be headed at. Tonight's episode was the usual Smallville episode. Which is why it didn't really stand-out like Arrow did.

However, there's two things I loved from this episode. 1) That Oliver pointed out "the look." 2) Lois and Clark working together. I hope we get more of that. It's usually Clark and Chloe snooping around and s--t. It's would be WAY better if it now became Lois & Clark. Fans would appreciate that more.

[FVD]

I thought Wither wasn't too bad. It at least did show Lex telling Clark that his days showing up unannounced at his home are officially over. I liked the ending too. Really feeling sorry for Clark there. :(

Can't wait to see Arrow and the 'S' Shield episode. :)

[sshuttari]

I liked it, Its funny how Oliver was the first one to see the real bad side of Lex.

Everytime you think Lionell is good, someone comes and says something that changes everything.

I think Ive had enough of Lana though tonight was the last draw, she getting knocked out for the one gazallionth time. Makes me think if this was really happeneing to her she would have some kind of brain damage by now.

Less Lana and more Louis IMO.

[Neverending]

[Freelow]

As much as I enjoy the way the showing is progressing towards Clark becoming Superman (working with Ollie towards a mini Justice League, working with Lois) I also hate the fact that it is still relying on the old formula (freak of the week and Lana being knocked out cold after being hit in the head).

[Neverending]

I also hate the fact that it is still relying on the old formula (freak of the week and Lana being knocked out cold after being hit in the head).

Same here, man! Arrow was a great episode that didn't rely on the freaks of the week. I want more episodes like that.

[WuTical]

last night's episode was alright...nothing really bad and nothing really great

the show really needs to kill off Lana...she is probably the worst character in the entire show...she shows no purpose

next week looks pretty good...

[Angelixx]

im not one of the hardcore fans like a lot of people but i watch this show a lot and the whole deal with Lana...at first like i didnt watch the show enough for her to annoy me beyond belief but the last eps..it finally set in...the girl has to die...like why do they even get worried about her anymore i mean she gets knocked out and put in the hospital every eps im guessing she;ll survive?

Big Smallville news referring to 'Justice'. From K-Site:

"Justice" Mystery Guest?
POSTED 10-27-06

It's been hinted before that another Justice Leaguer might be appearing alongside Green Arrow, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg in this season's 11th episode, "Justice."

We know it won't be Batman, but tipster "Ted Kord" might have some clues as to who may be showing up... keep in mind that all "rumors" must be taken with a grain of salt, and we are assuming this is for Episode #11 and not some other recently-filmed show. His e-mail follows, as it was exactly typed and worded:

The extra "cameo" appearance for the episode "Justice" is NOT Batman but it is...Martian Manhunter. you never see him but you do see a bag of half eaten oreos left beside clark when someone "saves" him.

i was at a comic shop near the studios that film smallville/stargate/battlestar galactica AND fantastic four 2 (its within 2-5 minutes of all these studios) here in vancouver and crew people who work on set regularly come by and drop tidbits of what they know. a crew member on smallville dropped that piece of news as he was filling his bag up with DC action figures.

We'll see if this pans out. If the Martian Manhunter does indeed show up on Smallville, you'll know you read it here first! If he doesn't... well that's why it's called Rumorville. :)

[Darth Maul]

hmmm this could be indeed interesting.

[JheyDC]

Wow, can't wait for some Raya and Clark actions. They look like a pretty good couple. Hope they do go out. Clark needs it. Anyway, the episode last night was alright. No harm no foul. It was pretty obvious though that it was Lex's friend. Though I would have to agree with all the guys saying Lana needs to die, cuz she's always unconscious half the time. Its like "okay good night".

[FVD]

Yeah it does get silly everytime Lana falls unconscious every time Clark does his thing. In order to keep her alive though she'll need to learn of Clark's powers sometime soon. For some reason I do hope it's this season.

Just finished watching Arrow and Reunion. Both very good episodes. I'm really starting to dig Oliver Queen. And it's cool to see more scenes of Clark and Lois. ;)

Can't wait until the next episode.

He was? hmmm Ill have to investigate.

[boydston_14]

I think I'm missing something why is a bag of half eaten oreos a sign of Martian Manhunter?

Well I checked wikipedia and found a bit about it:

In the Justice League International series, J'onn is shown to be obsessed with Oreos, partially due to Captain Marvel's influence; the story of how he got over the addiction is told in his eponymous series (which, in a retcon, refers to them as "Chocos", no doubt due to copyright issues).

[boydston_14]

Hey everyone, K-Site's posted the titles for episodes 12 and 13 of this season:

12:Labyrinth
13:Crimson

The story of how he got over the addiction!? Can a person actually get addicted to Oreos, are we sure he just didn't really like them a wee bit more than other biscuit?

It's like Bo-Selecta in the USA, Pete Doherty was addicted to biscuit for comedy reasons, well it's funnier than heroin...

[JheyDC]

^ So how's the episode so far?

[Neverending]

The episode had A LOT of potential. Bow Wow is a really bad actor and really hurt the episode. "I back and super-sized." Talk about corny line. And, Raya died too easily. This opens the question of whether or not Superman can be killed that easily.

Overall. . .not too bad but could have been better. Next week looks awesome.

Lex: What's faster? A bullet or an arrow.
GA: Only one way to find out.

BADASS!

[WuTical]

great episode....Bow Wow isnt that great of a actor but he didnt ruin the episode like i thought he would

Raya making a guest spot was great...it really helped Clark along like i thought it would

i think he is gonna start the training after the Justice League episode

next week looks good...GA VS. LEX

[boydston_14]

I loved the ending of this episode, it seemed so much like S:TM when Clark told Martha he would go off to do his training....I can't wait!!

Oh yeah, and next week's episode looks awesome too, I can't wait for that.

[Neverending]

i think he is gonna start the training after the Justice League episode

Um. . .I wouldn't bet on it. Smallville producers are really stupid sometimes. Clark said, "I'll start my training when I've captured or destroyed every prisoner from the Phantom Zone" or something like that. Well, watch Clark spend the next two seasons chasing Phantom Zone people. lol.

[Darth Maul]

Tonight was a great episode! Two thumbs up! cant wait for next week! Bow wow was eh.

i doubt that cause there are like only 2 people left

[Neverending]

i doubt that cause there are like only 2 people left

Yeah, but it's gonna take a while. Believe it or not but last night's episode was a filler episode for the whole Green Arrow saga. Next week's episode is once again gonna revolve around Green Arrow and Lois and Lex and that whole history there.

[boydston_14]

Okay, so 7 people/phantoms escaped the PZ, as seen by all the lights from 'Zod' and then in 'Fallout' last night. Clark was one of them so we can say 6 other people/phantoms escaped. He got rid of one in 'Wither', then last night Raya died and Baern was taken into that crystal. That makes 3 other phantoms out there for him to get. And as we all know, one of them will be in 'Static', but that won't be for another 2 weeks, and after that he'll have two left. The question is: when will he get those 2? (and it will have to be after 'Justice' considering none of the spoilers for any of the episodes prior to that pertain to phantoms).

[insaneMoViEgoer]

it was nice to hear someone finally say Brainiac.

Fantastic episode. A shame that Raya died and I liked how Clark is starting to accept his destiny. Pretty cool seeing the Fortress lighting up at the end of the episode too. I suppose the rest of the Season will be focused on catching the other Zoners. I suppose Batista is gonna be one of them when we see him in 3 weeks time.

[OBSERVER]

Rage was a good episode. Oliver Queen fits into the show well so I hope they keep him around for a long while. The quality of the season seems to be levelling out now. We know Lana's pregnacy is not going to last. I'd say she will lose it on the season finale and her relationship with Lex will end around that time.

Also, I was thinking about the thanksgiving scene at the end. All of the people that know who Clark really is were at the table and I'm thinking it is very likely that they (Chloe, Lionel, Martha) will all die before this show comes to an end. Maybe not Martha though, because she is alive in Superman Returns and WB is keeping a little bit of continuity between the two.

[iwish7284]

A few episodes ago Lionel and Lex were talking it was mentioned how lionel has succeeded in making martha think he has good intentions, was he saying this to get something from lex or to set up his betrayal?

The last episode was pretty significant IMO. Clark is alone at thanksgiving while everyone else has someone. Lana and Lex's dinner was very dark and secluded which describes the direction their relationship is heading.

As far as everyone liking oliver queen... I think he is a good character but it is played by such a terrible actor it makes me sick, but then again i don't like erica durance for the same reason.

[Neverending]

I like Erica Durance. She's getting better. And, the guy who plays Green Arrow is pretty cool.

[bbf2]

Lionel being at Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely ridiculous. He's tried to kill you all! Come on!

Remember that whole thing where he killed his parents and Chloe was trying to send him to jail so he tried to kill her by blowing up her house? And now Chloe is smiling as he passes some turkey to her! WTF! It's like the whole first three seasons never happened.

And even if they were going to forget that, they shouldn't have forgotten that THREE EPISODES ago Lionel threatened Oliver's life for kidnapping Lex, and now those two are sitting at the same table smiling.

[Neverending]

Yeah, it was a little silly but its Smallville. Nothing surprises me about this show anymore.

[FVD]

I'm starting to wonder whether Martha and Jor-El's intervention have started to soften Lionel up a little. Still he is a Luthor so we all cannot really trust him can we? Saw John Glover on Numb3rs the other night too.

And Observer. That should be all but Lois knowing Clark's secret. ;) And once again I'm really starting to feel for poor Clark. All alone and all. But we all know that he'll be happier in the long run.

[Alien]

They need to bring in the CK glasses soon

[OBSERVER]

Not until he gets a job at the Daily Planet.

[FVD]

I wonder how Clark's glasses and Superman is gonna play out seeing as he's already met Lois.

[JheyDC]

^That is what I believe everyone is waiting for....

The only possible way is if Clark goes away for several years and comes back a bit different looking than Lois remembers him, more mature looking. But she will only know him with the glasses at that time. Superman will have different looking clothes, hairstyle, and behavior. Still not easy to buy, though. It's a start.

I wonder how Clark's glasses and Superman is gonna play out seeing as he's already met Lois.
and Lex

Lex already knows what he looks like

Yes yes good point. Gough and Millar better come up with something believable. ;)

and Lex

Lex already knows what he looks like
And he knows there is something weird about about CK, just not sure what it is yet.

The thing is, Clarks close friends never realizing he is superman in the comic books and the movies always was laughable. So really, I dont think about how he's going to hide it this time since it's rather silly to begin with. Anybody, especially a reporter would spot the superman in him in 5 seconds.

He will turn the Earth around. ;)

I cant' wait to see MM and Batista on the episode tonight!

[Neverending]

Tonight's episode was kinda lame. It was another "freak of the week" episode and didn't focus enough on Clark in Seattle.

this episode could of been A LOT better

only good things that were cool was Clark jumping (kinda looked like flying) out of that tower and Martian Manhunter helping him

thing is, why was Clark acting like an ass to her at the end ?

he was just acting weird


::waits for December for the next episode::

I was disappointed with this episode, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as Wither. I just wish Clark's story in this episode had been the 'A' plot instead of the Lex/Lana/FotW story, though it did have a good part to it: it brought back level 33.1, and hopefully we'll get to see it again (and who knows, maybe we'll get another Mxy appearance). And has anyone heard the Chloe=MM theory yet? Sounds plausible that in that scene with Clark and Chloe towards the end of the episode MM had shape-shifted into Chloe, therefore explaining the oreo on the floor when Chloe leaves. :D

Ha so that was him! *goes to yell at casey*

Though yes I wasn't all that impressed with episode. It was weak. And Batista didn't get enough air time heh.
