Best part was when Clark took Dr. Hamilton at superspeed

Clark: "Do you get motion sickness?"
Dr. Hamilton: "Not especially, why?" *SUPERSPEED*
Chloe: "...Really?!"

The opening scene and the "zombies" were taken straight out of 28 Days Later.

Oliver's line when he came blasting with a shotgun was pure gold :lol
"I was looking for Tess when the whole building went Resident Evil."

He also had a great line earlier that I thought was making fun of the way most shows/movies talk about the Internet. "No one is on Youtube looking for Pamela Anderson's butt."

Soo any theories of the El crest in turkey?
Jor-El maybe?

Really enjoying how they are handling MAJOR zod, showing the rise of a ruthless leader. And having him as a Major makes sense in continuity (whatever little smallville has) so they can kind of ignore the whole Lex as General Zod's vessel arc.

Forgot to mention, the whole Lana photo scene symbolically closing the book on her finally by putting that photo of her in Clark's Wallet into the photo album book and closing it away.

I've always been a Clark/Lana admirer because I tend to like on-screen romances that experience hardships, they seem more realistic to me than the ones where there is just inexplicable attraction over long periods of time or whatever.

Next week's episode,
ToyMaker returns

Put all your fears aside, Kevin. Ratings SURGE because of DVR. That's right: SURGE.

Dollhouse and Smallville Ratings Surge Thanks to DVR

It's not all bad news for Dollhouse: The Joss Whedon sci-fi drama is among the shows that are most-watched on DVRs.

Dollhouse and Smallville tied for the largest gain in viewers, with each obtaining 50 percent more viewers in the seven days following their initial airings.

Both shows also saw a jump in their ratings this past Friday. Dollhouse pulled in 2.25 million viewers, improving on the previous week by a quarter million viewers. Smallville added an additional 100,000 viewers to bring its total to 2.3 million viewers.

:D

Fox has decided to air at least all 13 episodes of Dollhouse thanks to these new DVR numbers. Welcome to the new age of television, folks.

I just got to watch this ep and noticed something else that seems to relate to that statement.

Right at the end.

He takes her photo out, looks at it, does a little memories smile, and then tosses it into a photo album.

Odd.

My link works in the exact same way as yours.

At least on my end it does. Maybe the image is just stored in my cache, allowing it work even though we both have the same url. If someone says yours doesn't work then we'll know it to be true.

Anyway, I hope that's legit smoochies. I get tired of the date rape episodes.

She kissed Clark dressed up as Green Arrow.

That was quite a few seasons ago. When she was under the influence of Red Kryptonite she recognized his kiss. That was like a season or so later.

Glad to see I'm not the only one liking mind reading Clark. :D

Strike said:
Since when the fuck was he able to read minds?
Click to expand...

I think Jor-El said it was triggered due to an error (I think) that I guess Clark made and will help him to discern what's true and what's not. He did make sure to mention that it was also temporary.

Really? I'm not too hot for it. I like the mind reading stuff between Lois and Clark but the Ollie stuff is getting old. I'm tired of watching him feel sorry for himself. Hopefully whatever happens here finally turns him around.

EDIT: Ok, that last bit was pretty damn good.

I'll admit, that was pretty darn tense. I don't keep up with casting, so I thought
they might actually be offing Oliver. Or, at least "faking" his death.

Yeah it was before that, when it came back from the commercial break with him in the bar I groaned. Picking back up though since that point, lets see how it wraps up.

Ok, this is the first Smallville episode I've sat and watched in 6 years (well, last week's was kinda on, but I had to step out).

I guess it was decent. But what the hell happened to the budget? It looks awful. Everything looks like it's shot in a small box.

The budget's not what it used to be, because the show's getting long in the tooth. Networks typically trim back episode budgets on older series when they stop being the big revenue generators they once were.

And I thought this episode was great, very fun and tense.

Yeah I think Supernatural gets the huge budget now from CW, anyway I really liked the episode. Got a bit blah when Oliver showed up, ended pretty good though. The first half hour was excellent.

Apparently they shot some scenes at the exterior of the barn for the first time in like 2-3 years in an upcoming episode. Will be cool to see that again.

I've heard it's actually one of the shows on that channel that does well, which is why there are 9 seasons. I'm bummed the budget is so low though. They just can't really pull off what they want to do, like the Doomsday "fight".

Oh boy, we sure have fallen if a new establishing shot at a farm in British Columbia is something to look forward too :lol

Anyways, after 2 good eps to start the season, these last two have been lame, especially ep. 4. What Lois Wants? Tomb Raider Tess? And now they are oulling Clark and Lois through the will they/wont they yo-yo that they did for 6 seasons with Clark and Lana. Booooring.
