Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine "Smallville" .... Season Three

*MINI SPOILERS*

I guess "Adam Knight" isn't Bruce Wayne after all... is he?

Doesn't look like Lana ends up with Pete in this particular continuity. Not that it would have made much sense in the context of the show, since the two of them hardly spend any time with each other. Come to think of it, poor Pete hardly spends much time with anyone these days... which leads us to the previews for this upcoming week's episode...

Can you say "The Fast and Furious"... in Smallville?! After three really interesting episodes, I hope this next one isn't cheesy and silly... :rolleyes:

News from the TV Tome ...

"Titan Magazines To Publish Smallville Yearbook & Magazine

KryptonSite has learned that Titan Magazines will be publishing the Official Smallville Yearbook, fully authorized by DC Comics. The special magazine will be hitting newsstands in mid-May, offering 100 pages of interviews with the cast and crew behind the show. This will be followed by a new official monthly magazine that will debut in late-September, when season four premieres on the WB.

The Yearbook will feature interviews with Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, John Schneider, Annette O'Toole, Allison Mack, Sam Jones III, John Glover, Al Gough & Miles Millar, Kenneth Biller, Greg Beeman, Mat Beck and Mark Snow. Keep an eye on KryptonSite for more details!"

Was there a rumor that he is?? That'd be interesting (and almost makes sense). He's obviously brilliant, suffered something horrible in his past (he did sort of "die" when his parents were killed) and he's got the brooding mystery man thing going for him. I never thought of that ... I was trying to figure a Starman connection with the "Knight" name. Maybe Lex found out the truth and let him off the hook because he sympathizes.

The DCMBs (actually, the "Smallville: The Comic" board, but most of the discussion there is about the TV show) and a couple of other boards were abuzz with this possibility. (Adam Knight = "Dark Knight")

But I kind of doubt they'd introduce Bruce Wayne so early, and in such a significant role...

But it would be cool if they did....

Okay, ao I just watched the last two episodes that I had taped. All I can say is that I'm so glad that one day Lana will be gone and Clark will end up with Lois. I mean, can Lana get any more annoying? Good gawd, but she gets on my nerves.

Chloe is funny, and fiesty, and is a great partner for Clark, both as a friend and lover.

Lana is just so wimpy and whiny and nauseatingly weak. Ugh! She is single handedly turning this show into "Krypton's Creek." I wish they'd ship her off to boarding school or something.

The plus thing is that they are starting to reintroduce some things that made the first season great: super-powers. They had the three ex-foes in the sanitarium, then the computer hypnotist, and now the tactile precog.

Now if only someone could put Lana into a coma so the series can keep getting good again...

While I agree with a lot of what you say, Lana has given me a lot of "Smallville moments:" points at which I am transported to the psychotic confusion of high school relationships, in which at least one of the participants has no freakin' idea what's going on (and usually both). If she completely went away, it wouldn't be the same show. The writers do need to figure out how to use her character without completely turning her into a whiny teenager.

*MINOR SPOILERS*

Wow. Could this episode have felt any more like an After-School Special?

"How long have you been doing this, Pete?"

"Since the last episode."

"Street racing is wrong! You could go to jail!"

And since when has Smallville, Kansas -- home to one main street and one high school, and a bunch of farms -- been street racing central? Where did all those kids come from? Metropolis? (It's three hours away...!)

Other than the premise, which made it incredibly difficult to suspend disbelief, the episode wasn't actually *too* bad. I was even a bit nervous, trying to figure out how Clark and Pete would get themselves out of the car before it went kablooey. (But I would have thought that Pete would have to face some consequences for contributing to the death of Dante under such reckless circumstances.)

I hope the lovely Dr. Tang stays around for a while.

Also, I think Lex deliberately left his car available to Clark, to see whether Clark would take it or not...

can someone help me out with an episode i've missed !!! as i was on holiday, i thought i was gonna miss 2 episodes of "SMALLVILLE" !!!

luckly i remembered the repeat episode [ that aired this evening on Monday's one ]

the one i saw tonight was called "Relic" [ which i'll get back to in a moment .... ]

so what happened in the one before this ???

to recap what has already happened ....

# 1 & 2 were Clark "bad" and in Metropolis !!!

# 3 was the "vigilante" saving Lana and shooting Clark with a GREEN K bullet !!!

# 4 was the girl in the coma !!!

so what was # 5 ???

and now back to tonight's .... i thought "Relic" was brilliant !!! i loved the new twist that Jor-El had visited Smallville in the 60's !!! and been in love with Lana's aunt and met Jonathon's father !!!

i loved all the "flashback" scenes, and wished Tom Welling has is hair like that, from now on !!!

it had a great "Back to the Future" type feel to it, and it also reminded me of the LEGION stories where they went back in time to Smallville of the 50's !!! and they'd try and fit in with the locals !!!

did anyone else enjoy this one ???

Matthew.

I really liked "Relic" too -- but I'm kind of a sucker for that sort of "Back to the Future" retro-type story. It's relatively easy to effectively evoke the feel of the era with some shrewd costuming and just the right use of music.

And is Smallville just crawling with repressed, vengeful people or what?!

I have to admit that I've quit taping Smallville and *gasp* 24.

Just don't have the time to watch them anymore. I figured I'd just pick up the DVDs when released.

i love "BTTF" too !!!

but ... STU do you remember what happened in the episode before "Relic" ???

thanks .....

Matthew.

Hey, Matt,

Go look in www.thewb.com , they have a list of episodes of a whole bunch of TV series, including Smallville. I was just there, and I think the episode immediately before the 1961 one is the one that introduced Perry White as a drunk journalist who used to be good but discovered one of Lionel Luthor's schemes. But go look it up for yourself!

Juan

"Perry" was a great episode! I think it was even named one of the top 20 best episodes of 2003 by some magazine or internet site...

(What was weird was seeing Michael McKean and Annette O'Toole interacting on the show, knowing that they're married to each other in real life!)

thank's for the link !!! i forgot about the WB website !!!

i wish i'd seen this one .... hopefully the repeat of it will be shown in another month or so ???

Matthew.

So, regarding Smallville season three.... and I'm guessing only Scott will know what I am talking about.....

Anyway, now that I have watch the first 8 eps of season 3, I have a few questions:

I never saw any of season 2, can anyone explain the circumstances in which Pete discovered "the secret?"

Anyone agree with me in preferring the comics version where Clark does not know that Pete knows? I tend to think that, will all the secrets on Smallville, that this scenario would have played well.

What were the circumstances in which the Kent's learned on Krypton & Jor-El, and when did they begin refering to the meteor rocks as kryptonite?

I was not able to view all of hte season opener, so I am not sure if this was explained. How does red kryptonite fit into the Smallville 'verse? Does it only turn Clark evil, or other changes like the comics?

I could not watch most of the marnetic boy episode. How does it end? I only got as far as Lana about to decline the date after initially accepting.

Also could not watch all of episode 8 with the Black Canary Kid. What happens after Clark find Pete in the garage?

Adam Knight mentions that he gets dehydrated a lot. If he is not Batman, is he Aquaman?

Q: I never saw any of season 2, can anyone explain the circumstances in which Pete discovered "the secret?"

A: I think Clark just up and told him. Don't quite remember.

Q: Anyone agree with me in preferring the comics version where Clark does not know that Pete knows? I tend to think that, will all the secrets on Smallville, that this scenario would have played well.

A: Yup.

Q: What were the circumstances in which the Kent's learned on Krypton & Jor-El, and when did they begin refering to the meteor rocks as kryptonite?

A: Christopher Reeve episode, I think.

Q: I was not able to view all of hte season opener, so I am not sure if this was explained. How does red kryptonite fit into the Smallville 'verse? Does it only turn Clark evil, or other changes like the comics?

A: I think it makes everyone lose their inhibitions, not just Clark.

Q: I could not watch most of the marnetic boy episode. How does it end? I only got as far as Lana about to decline the date after initially accepting.

A: The magnetic boy gets what's coming to him, of course!

Q: Also could not watch all of episode 8 with the Black Canary Kid. What happens after Clark find Pete in the garage?

A: Don't quite remember.

Q: Adam Knight mentions that he gets dehydrated a lot. If he is not Batman, is he Aquaman?

A: Doesn't look like it.

The girl who plays the villain on tonight's episode: YOWZA!

She's like a sexier, blonder Natalie Portman!

*dreamy sigh*

Duke, glad you got the discs and they worked, for the most part. I'll try a different compression ratio next time, maybe a slower burn speed to adjust for older DVD players.

No kidding -- when she showed up in Clark's bed in her undies that was hot hot hot! If Clark popped a boner, I was afraid he'd have catapulted her through the wall!!

(still, she wasn't quite as hot as caged naked werewolf girl in "Angel" this week )

OK, I admit it -- I busted out laughing when I read this... what an image!

Plus, she has that all important thing for actors to have: chemistry. Too bad the writers ruined it by having her go FoTW and by keeping Lana.

"FoTW"

??

Foe of the week?
