Smallville

[Reply #40 on:]

I have a particular liking towards smallville, i watch it all the time

[Reply #41 on:]

I thought Smallville was cool at the beginning, first season or so. The great stuff about it was Clarke starting to discover his skills, and find out who he was. Also the whole Lana's parents killed by the meteor...

But now that they've explored most of that, it's pretty useless. The only thing that makes me wanna watch now is Lex!     He is hot!

[Reply #42 on:]

Yeah, Lex turning evil is cool. And interesting.

Does anyone watch that new Jenson Ackles show Supernatural? That's a really good show too.

Double Post/Bump

New Lex centered episode this Thursday at 8pm!

It sounds good. Although I usually don't like holiday episodes for any show, except Treehouse of Horror for the Simpsons.

[Reply #44 on:]

Treehouse of horror? HAH! There boring

[Reply #45 on:]

Boring like you

[Reply #46 on:]

HAH!

i saw the prom episode from a few weeks ago. i cracked up when that girl's spirit snatched clark's body, and clark says something like "the crown's mine, bitch!" hahaha

[Reply #48 on:]

Yeah, that was awesome. I still laugh thinking about it.

Can't wait until January 12th. New episodes start.

[Reply #49 on:]

Can someone tell me if season 5 is the last season of Smallville or will there be more seasons after?

[Reply #50 on:]

I've always thought the whole comic-book franchise thing as rather...okay, lame, but I must admit to becoming an utter geek for Smallville. It's not just lame. It's lametastic.

[Reply #51 on:]

i cried at that opening of the 100th episode. so...beautiful. i haven't watched the rest of the episode yet though watching it now...had it recorded earlier while i was at work hehe...

[Reply #52 on:]

The Last episode that i watched here was the one where Clark goes to the asylum to see Lex Luthor

[Reply #53 on:]

Smallvilles overrated. I drift in and out with this show.

[Reply #54 on:]

Thanks for sharing.

I'm a total geek for this show. I think it's the farthest thing from lame. I really liked the 100th episode, I'm glad we got the most out of the sceen with Lana and Clark before....you know.

I wonder what Lionel showed Jonathon.

And in pictures on Kryptonsite, they show Jonathon and Lionel fighting more. What's up with that?

NIC2001: There is at least 1 more season, possibly two. I think I read that Al Gough is only signed on for 2 more seasons, that could mean there will be only two more, or that he could make a new deal for more seasons. I guess only time will tell.

Zogonif: "Asylum" is a great episode, it's one of my favorites. But that was 2 seasons ago, you should really watch again.

Well i live in australia they've obivously showing all the episodes in season 2 we would have been through season 2 but no a stupid tv network screwed around with the times

The last episode that was on Closed with that kid that was hanging around with Lana and he was straped into some chair in some unknown place and Lional luthor comes in and says a few words and then goes back out

[Reply #56 on:]

The "kid" is Adam Knight. I'm not sure of the episode though, he was in quite a few.

So in Australia, the new episodes they're showing are from season 2? That sucks. Good season though.

[Reply #57 on:]

I know i can get the season 2 Boxset but i'll stick with what they are showing on tv at the moment

[Reply #58 on:]

Ok. I have the first four seasons on DVD.

SO did anyone see yesterdays episode? Obviously I mean the people who live in America. I'm Mr. Optimist and even I didn't like the episode. Hopefully next week will be better. As a matter of fact I know it will.

Show spoiler

I wasn't expecting them to have Chloe visit her mom so soon. But I'm not suprised that they didn't show her face. Hopefully they'll dive into that later. Oh damn, my picture was crap last night. It figures that it would happen on the night that Chloe had a shower scene.

[Reply #59 on:]

The past few episodes have been crap. They should cut out the crap about Clark finding yet another person with powers and being their friend. I don't care if that brings the season down to only 13 episodes, at least they will be good 13 episodes. Next weeks episode looks great. Here's what tv.com says about it.

Episode Number 107
Mercy 5-19
First aired: 4/20/2006
Writer: Steven S. DeKnight
Director: James Marshall
Guest star: Ian Tracey

Lionel is taken hostage by a masked man who forces him to play elaborate games for the prize of staying alive. Martha goes to confront Lionel after Clark tells her Lionel knows his secret and becomes a part of the game herself, fighting for her life.

It sounds like Saw 3, but it's better than a corny FotW. Hopefully since the seaqson is almost over, there will no more need for filler episodes, maybe they can answer questions and progress the story instead.

[Reply #60 on:]

The next episode thats going to air here in australia is "Facade"

[Reply #61 on:]

That's in the 4th season. You don't download?

[Reply #62 on:]

No i don't. whats the point downloading it when you know its being shown on tv ??

[Reply #63 on:]

Uh, maybe you can't see the episode where you live for another year or so?

[Reply #64 on:]

Either way i don't really download episodes of tv shows

[Reply #65 on:]

Oh ok. Me either.

I thought Mercy was really good. The "games" were more elaborate than I thought they were going to be. I thought it was going to be another movie copy, like last years copy of "House of Wax".

Show spoiler

I also like Lionel "seeing" Clark use his powers in action. And Lionel telling Clark that he knew about his powers since he held that glowing crystal at the end of the 4th season. Plus now Martha knows that Lionel knows. That by itself is cool.

There are people that are saying that Lionel will die by the end of the season, which makes sense if you think about it. He knows, which most people who know are killed off. And his character isn't in the comics, so he expendible. Plus it will take Lex to the next step. But in spoilers on other sites, it says that Jonathon Kent will come back in one of the next episodes and tell Clark to kill Lionel, if Lionel does die, I wonder if it will have anything to do with that.

Episode Name Fade
Episode Number 108
First aired: April 27, 2006
Writer: Turi Meyer, Al Septien
Director: Terrence O'Hara

A man Clark helps decides to help Clark in return...by killing Lex so Clark can reunite with Lana.

Turi Meyer wrote one other Smallville episode, Vengeance. But this is Al Septien's first time writing for Smallville.

[Reply #66 on:]

I haven't been following Smallville very closely so when I watched part of this new episode I was surprised to hear about Jonathon Kent.  I need to start watching more often.

[Reply #67 on:]

Well, you should try.

[Reply #68 on:]

BUMP/DOUBLE POST

I thought the season finale was great, I just wish it was longer than 1 hour.

Here's a spoiler of what happened.

Show spoiler

At the Kent farm, the animals act up and a bright light flashes outside. At the manor, Lex awakens from Lana’s embrace and clutches at his head as the light shine through the windows. He barges out and starts driving at speed with Lana following and trying to call him on her cell phone. He comes to a halt and gets out as Lana follows him across a creek and through the woods. In the middle of a field Lex yells to Lana to stay back and then the ground erupts all around him in a circle of dirt and light. A shadow passes overhead and Professor Fine appears behind Lana, saying he’s “preparing” Lex, as the black ship appears overhead. A beam of light shines down on Lex and Lana goes into the light, but Lex is gone, and the only thing left is a huge Kryptonian symbol of Zod burned into the ground.

At the Kent farm, Lois is trying to get tickets for Martha when Lionel shows up and offers her transportation. It’s clear he’s trying to get closer to her. Lana arrives at the Daily Planet to tell Chloe what she saw and she goes to the barn to tell Clark. Chloe warns against Clark listening to Jor-El but Clark goes to the Fortress. Jor-El explains the ship, and Fine, are a single construct that won’t stop until Zod is released. Jor-El notes Zod’s physical body was destroyed and he needs a vessel. A knife appears and Jor-El tells Clark he must use it to destroy the “vessel” – no matter who it is.

Clark meets with Chloe again and tells her he doesn’t plan to kill anyone. Chloe figures that Lex is the vessel and Clark announces he may have to kill Lex…as Lana overhears him from outside the room.

Clark is at the barn considering the knife when Lionel arrives and reveals he’s written more warnings from Jor-El. The new warning says “Sacrifice the vessel” and Lex tells Lionel that Lex is the vessel. Back in the field, Lex is lying unconscious within the Zod symbol. He gets to his feet as Lionel arrives and warns him there’s nothing he can do. When he reaches for Lex, Lex throws him away with super-strength and into a car window. Lex superspeeds over as Lionel looks on in horror, then Lex goes to the manor. Lana is there and he shoots himself with a gun to reveal that he is bulletproof as well. Lex says it’s still him, but Lana backs away in horror momentarily but then comes to him as he confesses he couldn’t keep anything secret from him. Lana reveals that she overheard Clark planning to kill him. Lex needs to go and tells Lana she can’t come with him but she can meet him on the LutherCorp roof that night.

Clark meets with Lionel who confesses he taught Lex to be completely ruthless, although Clark believes that’ll give Lex what he needs to fight back. Lionel warns Clark may have to sacrifice Lex or Lana.

Lois and Martha are bordering Lionel’s LutherCorp plane and Lois warns Martha that it won’t be the first time Lionel does her a “favor.” Clark arrives at the manor to confront Lex and finds Lana who refuses to betray Lex. Lana refuses unless Clark tells her the truth, and he refuses. She storms out and Fine arrives to taunt Clark and reveal that Clark was to be the vessel. He offers Clark one more chance and says he’ll destroy the humans. Fine slaps Lex’s laptop computer and every power system in the state begins to shut down.

Clark meets with Chloe at the Daily Planet and she reveals there’s a computer virus and it’s spreading – every major city in the world will soon be infiltrated. They’re interrupted by a car flying in through the window – Clark manages to grab it then go out to save who he can. Before he leaves, Chloe gives him a kiss. They’re interrupted when the phone rings and Lex calls.

Lois and Martha are in-flight when they realize the flight has been delayed and they’re heading into the mountains. They’re unaware that a Fine is flying the plane.

Clark goes to the barn to meet Lex and the two spar verbally before they fight. Clark draws the knife and holds it to Lex’s throat and Fine appears to goad him on. Clark refuses and throws the knife into Fine. It glows red as do the lights at the fortress, and a burst of energy shoots into the sky. Fine reveals Clark has opened the portal to Zod, and the energy slams into Lex and then Fine.

Fine disappears and Lex turns to speak as Zod. Lex/Zod tells Clark that he has no choice but to join him or he will destroy Earth. When Clark refuses, Lex/Zod tosses the circlet out into the sky and it pulls Clark in.

Lois tires to get the pilot’s door open without success as the oxygen begins to run out. Martha collapses and Lois manages to open the oxygen masks but collapses before she can get to them.

Riots are breaking out across the world as Chloe makes her way across Metropolis. She spots Lionel’s limo and gets in with him, but the mob overwhelm the car and pull them out. Lana is on her way to the LuthorCorp wear Lex/Zod is waiting for her as Lex promised. Lana assures him that she wouldn’t fail and Lex/Zod kisses her. And across the globe, the power goes out as Clark hangs suspended within Zod’s former prison, drifting off through space.

i've been watching the show the past year and bought seasons 1-4 on dvd and man the plot twists and turns they remind me of buffy...anyways i'd just like to note the season 4 clark partial nudity is very nice hehe...very sad to see jonathan go...

i forgot to mention, some of the plots are actually not so different from buffy (the individual storylines that is, not the ongoing ones) i think that's partly what attracted me to this show. and tom welling.

[Reply #70 on:]

Smallville always confuses me, mainly because I'll watch it for a month, than stop for three. Not a good way to watch a plotty show like that. 

[Reply #71 on:]

I've been finding myself rather taken with this show recently. It's a lot more bearable if you pretend that Lana has a passive meteor power that makes everyone fall in love with her for no reason, in addition to making Clark incapable of rational thought when in proximity to her.

[Reply #72 on:]

I used to watch this show years ago. Then I stopped.

[Reply #73 on:]

I could never really get into this show for some reason. I think part of it is the phenomenon Xanfor mentioned above, which I never got over my annoyance with.

[Reply #74 on:]

Archaic bump ftw!

Haven't seen this show since that post...7 years, really? Wow. I bought the final season on DVD a few years back just to complete the collection but it's still in its original shrinkwrap...

[Reply #75 on:]

I think I only watched season 1 and/or 2 to be honest.  The story arc episodes were pretty good, and it was definitely my favorite portrayal of Lexx Luthor.

[Reply #76 on:]

Winna, the season3 premier is pretty bad ass.  You have "evil" Clark and Jonathan makes deal with the devil to get Clark back.  Its very good.

I never knew about the show until the first 3 seasons of DVDS suddenly appeared in the PX in Taji, Iraq for 20 bucks each in 2005. I bought them and was hooked along with several of my troops.  The show had more than its fair share of horrible shows but overall it was good.

[Reply #77 on:]

I don't know if I've ever been in the PX... I always went to the BX... but they're probably the same similar thing or something.  Now that I think about it, military infrasctructure all around the world really does sound like we totally live in Rome.  That's pretty neat.

PX (post exchange) is Army BX (base exchange) is Air Force but they are the same thing just different letters.

This show was ok, the costumes could have been better, but ya gotta love Superman.
