Episode 617 - Combat
That opening scene was a bit gratuitous.
Clark?
“Time to die, Kryptonian.” Zoner?

Nice that they’re keeping Ollie involved even when he’s not in the episodes.
Busted, Clark.
“They were meteor infected. They put up a fight.” :smiley:

Meteor freak fight club?
Yep, he’s a Zoner. Crap.

LOL at Clark spilling Chloe’s coffee.
“I’m starting to think Super Sleuthing might be my latent Krypto-power.” I could see that.
Did Lois quit as Martha’s Chief of Staff?
Lois is going to look into the fight club? Crap.
Fort Ryan?

Oh, it’s shut down.
“I do a killer Stars & Stripes routine.” I remember
LOL at Lois kicking the bimbo’s ass.

The scumbag is an exec at Belle Reve?
“Not if I kill him first.” Bit out of character.

Looks like the League’s been busy.
Miscarriage?

I’m starting to think Clark had the wrong guy. Twin maybe?
Guess not.
Clark vs Lois? Damn.

“Punch me. Not too hard. Just enough to make it look real.”
Nice effect on Titan’s punching Clark.
Yeah, Lois, that’s not going to work.
Nice Superman punch from Clark. :stuck_out_tongue:
Clark, why aren’t you using your other powers?
Titan impaled himself with his own spike? :eek:
And of course, Lois didn’t see any of it.

LuthorCorp has Titan’s body? :eek:

Nice Clark/Martha scene to bookend the show.

Lex is such a bastard.

Pretty decent episode. Not much to it, but it hooks into the Zone escapee plotline and shows Clark kind of losing it.

#262

Episode 618 - Progeny
Wonder Woman?
Is that young Chloe? I thought Chloe’s mom was blond.

Lex has radio controls in his steering wheel, but no hands free cell phone?
Chloe ran Lex down?

She doesn’t remember anything? And this isn’t the first time?

Lex is going to make the appointment to have Lana checked out? I’m thinking coverup.

When Clark said he’d give Chloe a ride to work, I didn’t think he meant in the truck.
And wow, new truck. Wonder how the Kents afforded that.
The button was the only clue Chloe needed.

This patient can control meteor freaks? Yeah, that is a major power. I can see why Lex would want that for 33.1

Wait, isn’t Lex a meteor freak too? Doesn’t that mean Chloe’s mom can control him too?

Wouldn’t they have called Chloe’s dad when her mom got transferred too? Haven’t seen him in a while.

Well, that plan backfired, Lex.
Wind lasso? Nice power.
From the guy’s conversation with Chloe, I’m guessing Lex was lying about him being psycho.

And now Lana is under the care of a doctor not on Lex’s payroll. Good.

“I didn’t mean for anyone else to get hurt. I just wanted you to suffer.”

Clark broke Mom’s control.
Or not. Nice fakeout.

Mom caused Chloe to hurt herself as a child?
Way to go, Chloe.
Love that Clark had to think about whether or not to save Lex. Sure, that was some kind of gas shell, not a real bullet, but hitting Lex in the face with it probably would have killed him.

Ollie’s clocktower? Guessing they needed to use it a few more times to justify the set cost.
“I don’t know which ones you like, Mom, so I bought one of each.” :smiley:
Mom went catatonic again?
Lex’s drug was the only thing keeping her lucid? Could Queen Industries duplicate it?

Lex faked the pregnancy but the doctor thinks Lana did so she could marry him?

“The war is about to begin.” :eek:

Nice bit of Chloe backstory, even if a bit of it is retcon. Lynda Carter did a good job in her role and it set things up for Clark and Lex to really start going after each other soon.

#263

I like the latter part of this arc and the fallout. Seeing Linda Carter was cool too. I kinda wanna rewatch what happens from here on again…

#264

Episode 619 - Nemesis
You should know better than to BS Lionel by now, Lex.
Lionel actually tried to save him?

So immediately after declaring declaring war on Lex, Clark has to save him?
Helo is the lady’s husband?

Seeing some similarities with Mercy last season.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Luthor? Haven’t you done anything crazy for love?”

“You don’t get to choose who you’re going to save. Not if you’re Clark Kent.”
“Perfect timing, MacGyver.” :smiley:
Thought she left.
Kryptonite? Why’d it have to be kryptonite? :stuck_out_tongue:

“If my husband doesn’t survive, the man lying in that room is the only family I have left.” Well, except for her aunt and biological father.
“I understand you’re in a lot of pain. Good.” :eek:
Wow, Lana is acting like a real Luthor here.

Clark’s wounds didn’t heal? Is the shrapnel kryptonite?

So much for trying to unlock the case. Nice trick with the music to disguise the gunshot.
Another phantom?

The area surrounded with kryptonite is the only way out?
At least Clark has his injury as an excuse.

“I feel like your stalker ex-girlfriend… even though I was never your girlfriend.” Well, there were about 10 minutes in Season 1.

“The answer must have gotten lost in that dark abyss you call my soul.” :stuck_out_tongue:
Is Lex going to leave him behind?

So Lana just admitted to Chloe that she knows about Clark?

Nice gag with Lex levering off the girder.
Wow, big explosion.
Is this the first time Clark’s been healed by the sun?

Wow, Lionel is a bastard.
“I see you’ve embraced wholeheartedly what it means to be a Luthor.” :eek:

Lana’s a really good liar now.

Pretty good episode. Really advanced the Clark/Lana/Lex plot, and Helo is probably going to play into the season finale.

#265

Episode 620 - Noir

Movie night at the Planet?
“I figured you could use an escape from your real life soap opera.” :smiley:
Lana got shot?

Jimmy’s going to try solving it himself, isn’t he?
Was that the guy who shot Lana that attacked Jimmy?

Clark with glasses working for the Planet? :smiley:

Does Jimmy have a crush on Lana too?
“Didn’t peg you as the kind of guy with a secret identity.” :smiley:
Lionel as the bartender?

Lex and Lois?
That camera’s not exactly subtle, Jimmy.

Mansion set looks really different in black and white.

Jimmy shot Lex?

So Lionel was really working with Lana?
Clark was a cop?

Political correspondents? Could it have something to do with the senator?
911 isn’t Chloe’s emergency number of choice, Jimmy.
“You didn’t have to wait until the last second, you know.”
“What fun would that be?” :smiley:

“Does breaking and entering not mean anything to rich people?”
Nice Lois/Lionel scene.

Lana was shot with Lex’s gun?
They’re writing Jimmy off?

This was a fun episode, but kind of weird. Kind of out of place in the build to the season finale.

#266

Episode 621 - Prototype
That satellite was a random opening.
Test of Helo?
Wow, he has some nice abilities.
Did he kill the guards? And did they know it was a test?

“Takes more than a bullet to stop a Luthor.” :eek:
Senator looks familiar. And like a huge slimeball.
Senator’s gonna die.

Lots of Kryptonian writing there.
“Clark, you should try picking up the phone occasionally. Might be quicker… or maybe not.” :smiley:
Awesome scene.

Lois is still working at the Talon? Guess they forgot she was Martha’s chief of staff.
“Distance is good for the relationship. That’s what all the guys who’ve moved away from me have said.” :smiley:

Yeah, Lois is really a reporter now.
Lois knows Helo?

They program Helo for specific missions?

“You’re just hoping to catch me in the shower again.” :smiley:
At the farm, I remember it being the other way around, but I love Martha’s reaction.
Lois and Helo were close?
Does Helo cloak or teleport?

Alicia reference? Nice.
Calling in the cavalry? That’d make a hell of a finale.

Love Lana playing the secret card on Clark.
And Clark isn’t even trying to hide his powers from her anymore, is he?

Lois is getting through to him.

“Do you ever get used to that?”
“Not really.” :smiley:

Nice super close up on Clark’s heat vision.
That was all it took to kill Helo? Bit of a letdown.

Martha’s taking Slimeball’s seat in the Senate? Guess they’re writing her out.

“Don’t be sorry for me. Be sorry for Lex.”

Awesome episode. Surprised they killed Helo off, rather than having the big fight between him and Clark in the finale.

#267

i actually enjoyed the way Lana found out. i liked the way the story is told too.

maybe Jor-El’s influence wasn’t gone… maybe Jor-El just didn’t like Clark dating anyone that looks exactly like his fling on earth.

#268

i don’t remember if they revisited that or not…

#269

good point, though it was never explained if Lex really is a meteor freak himself, there certainly has been hints of that possibility.

though his amazing recoveries could have been due to another kind of green… since his dad has so much of it.

#270

yup, i was excited when i heard that reference too

#271

I just finished watching Phantom, but after that, I got the call about Grandpa, so I’m not up to posting my comments at the moment.

Since I’ll be traveling up to Iowa twice (for probably a total of 2 weeks or so), I’m probably not going to start on Season 7 until after Christmas.

#272

hope everything goes well for your grandpa. have save travels starsaber.

#273

Ditto. But, I’ll miss your Smallville posts. Hope you get to see this Friday’s ep.

#274

Well, I should probably go ahead and post my comments on Phantom before I fly out.

Episode 622 - Phantom

Martian Manhunter?
And the Phantom just knocked him through the ceiling.
Ugh, the Phantom just popped out of the guy’s chest.

Lana’s busted.

A bit obsessed, Lois?
She is so lying to Chloe.

Your army, Lex?

“I know this is the part where I’m supposed to say ‘I’m sorry’, but I can’t.” :smiley:
Lana’s leaving Smallville?
And now she knows the whole truth.
Clark’s gonna be pissed at Lionel.

And MM just saved Lione’s life.

Lex just hit Lana? :eek:

“That’s not nothing.” You don’t say, Clark.

The guard just stabbed Lois? :eek:
And Lana’s car just exploded? :eek:

Chloe can heal people with her tears?
Why’s Chloe unconscious?

Lex abandoned the doctor? Yeah, he really is Lex Luthor now.
Well, Clark, that didn’t work.
“Thanks for sharing.” :eek: Thought it would possess Clark, not duplicate him.

Lex is under arrest?

Well, Lionel, that really didn’t work. If anything, it boosted him.
Hell of a fight scene.

What was with Phantom Clark’s face there?

Pretty good cliffhanger. Not up to the level of Commencement, but that’d take a lot of work.

Like I said, I don’t think I’m going to start Season 7 until January. Even if Grandpa didn’t die last night, I have a pretty good sized stack of other DVDs I want to work down, so I was planning on that anyways.

#275

it sounded like every line in that entire post should be followed by a

that was a lot to take in for an episode. A lot of DC back log of characters.

#276

Well, I just got Season 9 on sale for $17, so I have all the DVDs that are out.

My timing on the other DVDs seems to have been pretty good, so I should be able to start Season 7 right away when I get back and alternate with either MacGyver or whatever I get as a Christmas present.

#277

when Teri Hatcher was on MacGyver, she looked older than she does now…

#278

And I’m back

Episode 701 - Bizarro

Wow, long “Previously On” segment.
Uh oh, people fishing near a collapsing dam.
Is someone else doing Bizarro Clark’s voice?
Awesome punch, Clark.
Heat vision to stop the flood?
Love Clark nodding to the kid. Seems like a very Superman thing to do.

Jimmy’s a regular and Ollie isn’t yet?

Someone mysteriously saving Lex from a submerged car? Never seen that before. :stuck_out_tongue:
New heat vision effect? Think I prefer the old one.

The possessed kid is still alive?
Nice cover story, Clark.

Bizarro’s absorbing the Kents’ emergency kryptonite? Guess Chloe’s going to have to get some now that both parents are gone.
Kara can already fly?

LOL at Lois calling Lex “Dr. Evil”. Honestly, surprised it took this long for someone to do that.

Lex made it to Metropolis without running into any more cops?
Lex’s aide is Senator Shooter’s wife from SGU (and the Woolsey’s Australian dream woman in SGA)

Bizarro’s coming onto Lois? And she slapped him. :smiley:

Chloe’s dead? Then why is she still in the opening credits?
Waking up in a morgue drawer? That’d freak the hell out of me.
Clark didn’t know Lana was dead (or “dead”, see above comment about Chloe being dead).

Lex is showing genuine repentance?
Well, so much for that.

Clark is taking Lana’s “death” surprisingly well.
“This guy can fly? Clark, you’ve got to get on that one.” :smiley:

Nice speech from Clark.
Clark didn’t know the sun gave him power?

Oh crap, Bizarro just absorbed an entire vault full of kryptonite.
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Flying catch from the Manhunter?

“The fact that you’re from a galaxy far far away just adds character.” Gotta love Chloe.
“If you ever grab my ass again, I’ll be taking your head with me when I go.” Gotta love Lois almost as much.

Lex’s walk here is a nice contrast with his walk down 33.1 last season.
Blond is so not a good hair color for Lana.
Shanghai? Surprised she’s not in Paris.

And now our first good look at Kara. And she found some Earth clothes (naturally red and blue).
Don’t remember seeing that water tower behind the Talon before.

Good episode. A lot to wrap up, but they did a decent job of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Bizarro again before the end of the season.

Boo, iTunes is getting an error downloading the SHoE episode for this episode.

#279

he does, and she does too, just not in that way :stuck_out_tongue:

I miss me some Steve on the SHoE.

#280

Episode 702 - Kara
Lois is still looking into 33.1? Nice
Clark is going to the fortress for training? I know they won’t do it, but it’d be cool if they followed Kara for the season while Clark was at the Fortress for training.
Lois found Kara’s ship?
“That’s what happens when you touch my stuff.” :smiley: Kara’s got a bit of an attitude.
Shouldn’t the kryptonite have weakened Kara?
And she didn’t even blink at Clark’s powers?
Wait, she thinks Kal-El is still a baby, doesn’t she?

New shot of the Talon.
What’s with the Belle Reeve profiles?
“Sounds like we’ve got ourselves a true blue Supergirl.” Not officially for 3 more seasons. :stuck_out_tongue:
Wow, Lois changed quick.

Mayborne is Lex’s lawyer? Well, he’s slimy enough.

Wow, Chloe’s really laying into Lex.
Do you really think Chloe would tell you about Lana even if she did know?
Preschools? Yeah, she really thinks Clark’s still a kid.

“I won’t hurt you.” Might be more convincing if you weren’t holding him in mid-air, Kara.
Nice catch, Clark.

Is the new editor sweet on Lois?

I thought Clark left as Krypton was exploding, but Kara is making it sound like she was following him.
“Define self-destruct.” :eek:

Kara’s ship looks like Brainiac’s ship got painted red.

Glad Lois is standing up for Chloe.
Chloe “lost her mojo”? Seriously don’t like this guy.

Lex found Lana already?

A bit impatient, Kara?
“Girls do mature faster than boys.” And you are certainly very … mature, Kara.
Kara doesn’t really get “low profile”, does she?
“Should have known you were Clark’s cousin from all the primary colors.” :smiley:
“Not too many extraterrestrial vehicles are actually registered at the DMV.”
Chloe’s a bit snippy today.
Guess Chloe actually was useful, Kara.
Glad Kara doesn’t have all her powers figured out right away.

Kara’s ship’s alarm sounds exactly like an Earth car alarm.
Nice save, Kara.

Lana set up Lex to find her?
Flattery will get you nowhere, Lex.
Lex cloned Lana?
And he wants her to kill him?

At least Junior isn’t going to run the spaceship story.
Still seems a bit early for Lois to work at the Planet.

At least Kara gets Clark’s name right now.
A crystal? Guessing we have the plot for the season now.

Blue kryptonite?
And the government has the crystal?

Glad Clark mentioned Fake Kara.
Kara poses a threat? And Lex is looking for her? Not good.

Pretty good episode. Did a good job of introducing Kara and setting up the plot for the season.
