Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Smallville ... MAJOR SPOILERS

This is pretty clearly its own world and I have little worries about Smallville continuity gelling with DCU continuity. I just can't imagine how they can possibly expect Lois or Lex or anyone to not recognize Superman as Clark in the future. Everyone's already seen him without his glasses. I have to imagine they're not even going to try explaining that one...

i agree
how could you not recognise him, unless its like the story where the glasses give everyone the illusion that clark is much older.
I know WB has loosened the reins a little in regards to certain parts of the superman mythos. However i thought they still held firm to the idea that no other kryptonians to be shown, thats why its the voice of Jor-el and not an actual terance stamp as jor-el. so why now with all the allowing of actual other survivors of krypton, thats a big step as opposed to just having an appearance in flashback of the parents or something like that.

Sounds like they're building up to a big appearance from General Zod. As the years go by, and story ideas start to thin, they've been hedging on some of their previous edicts, so I'm not surprised we're seeing Kryptonians. It's all good with me - as long as the episodes are entertaining.

I finally saw an episode from this season -- since Survivor's over, I now have Thursday evenings free. It was the one where Lex breaks those three Kryptonite freaks out of prison (the one who can throw electricity, and the twins who can form a barrier), and Clark has to rescue his parents and Lana, who are being held hostage.

It seems as though this episode (doubtless a rerun) occurred pretty early in the season... but I still have no idea how/why Clark got depowered, or how/why Chloe told Clark that she now knows his secret. It was satisfying to see Lex's jaw drop upon realizing that Clark doesn't have super powers (anymore). However, I don't know why Lex wouldn't think that possibly Clark is just able to "turn off" his invulnerability at will, a la Ultra Boy...

Was it my imagination or did the Time Trapper make a villainous guest appearence in a recent episode of "Smallville"?

3 episodes into the 5th season, and tonights was great, it was one where CLARK 'dies' and JOR-EL brings hime back, with a price to pay !!

some great character moments, and i think i know who will pay the price and die in the upcoming 100th episode !!

although i'm not sure what i think of that development !!??

would i pick someone else instead of _________ !!??

It's funny how some of the original 'Superman' comics cast are slowly making their way back into the forefront - Lois Lane, Perry White and Morgan Edge (of all people!!!)

how bout pete ross of all people! as a main character.
I like the introductions of other dc heroes, like flash and aquaman, both cool episodes.

I remember Pete as being blond and fair-skinned in the comics...did the network airing Smallville fall victim to a CRISIS/ZERO HOUR of their own?

Well, the 100th episode aired here last night:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Clark told Lana the truth about his past, and asked her to marry him. She said yes. Later, a drunken Lex realizes that Lana knows Clark's secret, and is chasing her down the highway, resulting in an accident that kills Lana. Griefstricken, Clark asks Jor-El for help. Time is turned back, Clark doesn't tell Lana his secret, but the accident is going to happen anyway. Clark is able to stop the accident from happening, but there is a price to changing history: after a fight with Lionel Luthor, Jonathon Kent has a heart attack and dies!</span></span>

So they didn't go for the obvious death? I'm actually surprised.

Wow! That wasn't what I was expecting.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">I was so happy when they killed Lana, and then so bummed when they brought her back. I can't stand this version of Lana Lang. She's such a weak version, possibly due more to the actress playing her than anything else. Chloe is actually a better version of Lana than Lana is </span></span>

Maybe that'll be a series finale twist. Switched at birth!

Mebbe Lana the red-head will return...

On Smallville tonight ...

For the most part, I enjoyed the episode except
for one little thing ...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Clark is an idiot in this show. He gets his costume from his high school Mascot, his symbol from his heritage, and now we find out he gets his whole Secret ID schtick from a Batgirl Wannabee ....</span></span>

Okay, that's all.

Why didn't they just use Phantom Lady or Black Canary?

They needed a killer. Maybe they didn't want to dilute a DC hero? Or they didn't want to say that any of those heroes predated Superman?

we're not quite up to the 100th episode as yet ! and i had guessed that it was LANA that would die, but i too was surprised how it would end out !

i feel sad for Martha !!??

Matthew.

i really liked the AC / Aquaman episode !! and i didn't think the actor that played Arthur was that bad !! and i didn't actually mind the 'sufer-dude' attitude !!

perhaps i was too busy looking at him, instead of listening !!

i thought the JLA mentions were cool !!

and then this weeks episode was the LANA one as a vampire !! a little weak, although all the CHLOE parts were great, and it was good seeing CARRIE FISHER as the editor of the 'PLANET' !!

and i thought having the main girl being called BUFFY was really funny and the line from Carrie about CHLOE writing about 'slaying Buffy the vampire' was really funny !!

Matthew.

Don't tell me - they named her Perri White, right?

They already introduced Perry White --- Michael McKeon (Annette O'Toole's (Mrs. Kent) hubby). They showed him as a legendary respected jouranlist who was down on his luck and resorting to tabloid journalism, but CLark set him straight.

It would've been funny if the female vigilante they introduced was "the Huntress" since Ms. O'Toole starred in a short-lived series by that name where she was a bounty hunter.

And next week is... Cyborg?

Actually, Carrie Fisher's character was a Mrs Kahn....a nod to Janette Kahn, I believe.

I missed the very end of tonight's Cyborg ep -- did they show the blackmail footage that Lionel was looking at? What was it?
