i'm going to try my damndess not to miss this week's show (like i did last week ). i have to work late tomorrow, but thank goodness for replays

That's really interesting news. It'd be cool to see them on the show.

As for tonight's episode, I thought it was alright. It was a filler episode of sorts, but it did have some interesting elements to it.



Overall, this episode wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I'm definitely looking forward to episode 7.

Smallville clip.

0:50 to 2:24, they're playing Brand New!!!

i do agree about it being filler, but it was still good like you said.

Ok, I finished watching tonight's episode, and I have to say that it wasn't all that bad. For what was more or less a filler episode, we yet again get elements of the main story unfolding. It seems that even with the filler episodes this season, we get some sense of progression in the main plot, which I think is a very wise thing to do.

agreed. what i didn't like



all in all not bad. i'm definately picking this season up on dvd.

anyone here from mkflegend? how's he doing? when might he be back if ever? anyone know how to get in touch with him, i'd like to send him a message

No, I haven't heard from mkflegend. I hope he'll come back soon though. This thread isn't the same without him.

Anyway, getting back to the episode:

this past week's episode was good. too bad about Jor-El

Yeah, it was a very good episode. We get good backstory, even bits on what led to the creation of Doomsday. I don't understand why Jor-El is blonde and much older than he should probably look if the younger version of him looked just like Clark. I really like how good of a villain Zod is, especially when he figured out that Jor-El has a son. Chloe's Big Brother (or should I say "Big Sister") characteristic is really making her an edgy character, and I wonder just how far she's going to go with that.

One thing that disappointed me was that we didn't get any scenes in the Fortress. It would have been interesting to have the clone Jor-El there. I would think that Clark would go to the Fortress to find out the object he put in the Kent Farm is. It's interesting that Jor-El used Blue Kryptonite to disable the clones from getting their powers.

Speaking of Blue Kryptonite, I was wondering to myself why Clark didn't consider using that to defeat Doomsday. If the other kinds of Kryptonite work on him, using Blue Kryptonite to disable his powers could have been the answer.

Anyway, although it was nice to see interaction between Clark and Oliver, it was kind of pointless to have him go on a jet. If Clark can grab Davis and travel all the way to the Fortress by running, why couldn't he have done the same when going to Turkey?

Still, this was a very nice episode. It was pretty solid, like the rest of this season so far. I'm not really looking forward to next week's episode. I'll probably roll my eyes a bit since this is about the Wonder Twins. Oh well...If they can find some thing in Idol to have some more development in the main story, then that'd be fine.

I just got to say, last weeks episode with Jor-El has been my fav so far. So much action it was gr8!

all i can say is some stuff we think of that would make sense the writers don't always think would make sense i guess

Yeah, I know what you mean. Even so, this season is the most interesting one so far, in my opinion.

Now, about tonight's episode, it was obviously a filler episode, but like the other filler episodes in this season, we see elements that tie into the main story. This is very smart, and I hope that they'll continue to do that with their filler episodes from now on.

We see a lot of Lois/Clark stuff and not as much on the Wonder Twins as I thought we'd see. The girl playing as Jayna is kind of cute, and it's kind of funny to see the guy from 7th Heaven play as Zan. Thankfully, they weren't as cheesy as they were in the old Superfriends cartoon. We see a reference to Gleek with Jayna's cellphone. Not only that, we get references to Twitter, Facebook, etc. like in previous episodes. *shakes head*

Right, so moving on, we see more tension between Clark and Chloe, and from what I've seen of some spoilers,

I'm a bit surprised that Clark considered revealing himself to the public when doing so would expose him to Zod (even though Zod knows about him and has already seen him).

Overall, this was an ok episode with some funny moments and cheesy moments.

Another great episode for sure. I'm gonna have to get this season on DVD for sure.

yeah same. watched the end of last week's episode. going to make sure i PVR this week's in case i miss it

Damn this episode was A MAY ZING. I really liked the stage set look. Reminded me of the game Killzone 2 on a planet called Helghan. Best ever season man. These new writers are top quality imo.

Yeah, I agree. Pandora is a great episode that gives insight into what Lois experienced in the future. Callum Blue is amazing as Zod, and in the future, we see him rank up to General status. We see Emil and Stuart again. This episode showed the kind of impact that Lois had. If she didn't return, Clark would have made the bad choices that would have led to his defeat.

According to wikipedia, in the Red Son storyline, Zod was infected with Kryptonite and is weak under a yellow sun while he gets his powers from the radiation of the red sun. Since Jor-El used Blue Kryptonite to tamper with the orb, he reversed the effects that the red and yellow suns have on Kryptonians for the Kandorian clones. However, I have to wonder about Alia. Under the yellow sun, she had her powers in both Savior and Pandora. Of course, some might speculate that it is due to her carrying Blue Kryptonite.

Anyway, Smallville returns in January, and things get even bigger. The ending of Pandora was strange but an interesting twist. With the way Zod is, I doubt Clark will be able to set him in the right direction. I can't wait to see the J.S.A. stuff and see characters such as Hawkman and Dr. Fate. It should be interesting.

yeah i liked Pandora. was an interesting episode. and the ending was a real head scratcher. can't wait for January

BEST F'N Smallville Episode EVER Today! So much AMAZING stuff man, I'm still in shock and awe.



Man this episode just wow...

I agree... I was in awe... especially what Dr. Fate told clark regarding lex "would" his greatest enemy.... plus the Suicide Squad.... cannot wait for more episodes...

i can't wait to see more of the Checkmate story. seems interesting, and Tess is involved.

i totally marked out hard with Absolute Justice. best Smallville to date. just wish Clark could've called the group the JL, or JLA. or is it too soon?

Hey everyone. It's been a long while since there's been activity in this thread. First, I'll talk about Disciple, and then I'll talk about Absolute Justice.

Disciple

This was a pretty good episode. We get more of Oliver's backstory, and we see the return of Mia/Speedy. We see more development of Lois and Clark's relationship, which is nice. Also, we have Zod tossed into the mix. The episode revealed that Zod is in search of the Book of Rao so that he can learn how to turn the yellow sun into a red sun. If you remember in Kandor, Jor-El mentioned a passage from the Book of Rao when talking to Tess, and he hid an octagonal disc at the Kent Farm.

I do have to wonder why Clark hasn't been spending time talking to Jor-El in the Fortress to get more answers. I would like to have seen scenes of them interacting or at least get information like Clark did when learning of Alia's name and origin.

Absolute Justice

This was a great two-part episode. It was nice to see the various heroes get together and to even get various flashback scenes with some of the old JSA members. I wish we could have seen more of Sandman, and it's a shame that Dr. Fate was killed by Icicle. I thought the actors did a good job with their acting. Pam Grier did a good job as Amanda Waller, and I really look forward to more of the Checkmate story, especially with Tess being revealed as an agent.



It was great to see Phil Morris return as John Jones/Martian Manhunter. Not only was he wearing his costume, he got his powers back thanks to Dr. Fate. I really hope we can see more of him. I have to wonder if Clark talked to him about Zod and the other Kandorians.

Anyway, next week's episode doesn't look that interesting to me though we do get a return of Zatanna. Still, I'm really interested in seeing more JSA members as well as more of the Checkmate story and Zod story.

MKF & Myself still talk regularly offsite. He told me to tell you guys hello from MKF.

umm,

To TheMKGeek:
