Worst episode of the season

[galatians221]

I can't stand any more of Lana and now we have Lex who is no longer a part of the show and Lana as the center pieces of this episode. Just when the ratings are going up we get Lana instead of Lois. The whole MM getting shot was lame. The guy is an alien who needs to be taken out of earth's atmosphere and they have him get shot and after what two days he is released from the hospital? He had a hole in his shoulder the size of a canteloupe. Nothing was right with this episode. They don't have Lois so they're trying to make something work from the old cast and it didn't work. Another episode like this next week and it could be all over for the ratings and S9.

[Iluvgreen]

I agree with the whole Lana part sucked. But the episode was all that bad. I hope it still has good ratings.

[superspider02]

yea it wasnt the wrost episode of the whole season so far, just the clana bits at the end of the episode was terrible. Out of the other 11 episodes i say toxic was one of the weakest of the season.

[Black Panda]

Personally I thought Plastique and Toxic were pretty abysmal, so it's hard for me to say this was the worst. It wasn't great though.

[jaksfreak91]

It was not so good but not so bad, so I think is not the worst epi of the season.

[Clana4Life]

Lana is back and the ratings are up. There's the correlation. Let's see if they go back down after she leaves.

[Bre723]

idk, not the best...especially compared to the rest of the season.
but i liked the lana scenes personally, she will always and has always played a huge part in smallville.

[alienkinfolk]

nope. Not the worst ep this season. Yeah MM getting shot was not needed to make the bad cop see the light (imo) Clark going undercover as a cop was different. I like this ep because it tried some new things with Clark, Lana, Tess etc. Not the worst yet....

[celita]

up?, "Legion" is the 4th episode in final ratings and it had 1 special guess star, 3 heroes from the DC Comics and 2 villians from the DC comics. It was a failure!

[Darkside]

It was fine

[bizzaroboy9]

i dont know.. i thought it was pretty fair episode. i was sad we did not get to see a lot more of john jones. i thought he would gotten his powers back by now?

[Jor-El's Oracle]

this episode was cool not great but pretty entertaining...

[Imzadia]

OK, I don't think that I'm breaking any rules here, but if I am, I expect the Moderators to kick me to the curb quickly enough. That may be unfortunate for my "Bulletproof" crusade, but I want to Defend it, if I may. I plan to prowl the forum in an effort to help others SEE more clearly before they CONDEMN. It is, afterall, My Opinion. I'd like to 'paste' what I posted in the "Live" thread...

:rolleyes: I admit, I may be looking for and finding a little something different than what a lot of fans want out of Smallville. :\ IMO, this episode covered a Lot of ground that I feel really contributed to moving Clark's 'Destiny' along.

:cool: Clark has, for many years, taken part in criminal investigations anonymously. He knows how to look for clues and has learned to trust his own 'hunches' or intuition about people and their innate behaviors (except when it comes to Lana or women in general), and Clark has learned to be very observant. It was a great opportunity for him to see how the 'law' works from the Inside. He learned some things that will serve him well in his future heroic endeavors. There's still much he has to learn, but he needs to learn how to work in tandem with 'law enforcement' to earn their trust, which would allow him the priviledge to continue 'Helping' without fear of being 'branded' an outlaw, IMO. ;)

It was also important for us to Hear from Oliver that MM had interacted with him and that they had begun to form a 'trusting bond' between them as well. It was important to see progression in the growth of the JLA. All that, plus what revelations Lana shared with Tess, made this a great episode. :D We also got to see Clark in 'Hero mode', and the way he's thinking about how and why he will do what he does. He wants to see People try to be better. He also taught Ollie something about being a 'better' hero. That was truly Special. :)

Only Clark's desire to have more than a life of 'being the hero' for the world's sake, because of his 'memories' of what he believed he could have with Lana, made him slightly falter. He has the Same Feelings as every one of us, so he wants the same things out of life. Meeting Danny Turpin and his family with his 'high school sweetheart' made Clark feel nostalgic for what he 'wished' he could have with Lana. :\ He fears that it'll be denied him. Clark just has to figure it out as he goes along. He's NOT a Loser! :mad: He's been given a tremendous responsibility and the way he was raised, he'll never neglect that 'mission'.

"Bulletproof" was a story about people who do difficult jobs and learning how and why they want to do them for the "right" reasons. It seemed to be about Clark learning about 'big city' crime and crime-fighters behind the scenes. It was a Learning Experience for Oliver, Ofc. Dan Turpin, John Jones, Tess, and Clark. Although I don't quite know what it is that Lana was supposed to learn except that maybe she's no longer 'in love' with Clark. :rolleyes:

Whatever Lana is doing and whoever she's collaborating with is causing a lot of intentional turmoil, most likely in her on-going quest for revenge against Lex. She continues to keep secrets from Clark, therefore she's still too angry to give her heart to anyone, and I think she knows that. When Clark figures that out, it'll put the final nail in the coffin of their dead romance. :\ When she leaves, the dust she's once again stirred up will settle. Then Clark will see everything more clearer and realize he's in love with Lois Lane, IMO. :p :( Sadly, Clark feels a void in his life that he'd like to have filled with an honest, Committed, intimate relationship. What we're seeing is an 'emotional' set-back brought on by the way Lana broke his heart a few months ago. Her sudden reappearance has thrown him temporarily off balance. That's why he asked her, "why are you staying?" :confused:

:) We Know Clark. He's Steadfast and Honorable. He probably thinks that he'd seem 'shallow' if he turned his back on the 'love of his life...so far' :rolleyes: without making SURE it's the right decision. I'm Deathly Tired of the Clana merry-go-round, too. :mad: Hopefully, we'll get to see him shake it off, because 'temporary faltering heroes' is allowable from time to time... Right? Clark, 'in Smallville', has taught us that he's Not Perfect, just like the rest of us 'humans'. ...But we know that he'll Never stop trying to be better. ;)

Eventhough I wasn't thrilled about the Clana kiss, the only thing about this episode that I truly didn't like and found uncomfortably annoying was the way Clark and Ollie treated each other. Mostly Ollie acted like he doesn't 'like' Clark very much.

:o One last thing; I was too happy to hear Chloe mention Lois to Clark. She pointed out to Clark how 'Obvious' it was that some 'sparks' are flying between him and Lois. His response was...:eek: Clearly, Clark finds that Lois Amazes or Overwhelms him just by Lois being 'Lois'. :lol: It was as if Chloe had made him pay attention to something that was 'Hot' and he cautiously approached it and wouldn't touch it for fear of getting 'Burned'. :p (Eventhough we're aware that Clark is impervious to physical heat). The Legendary Love Story between Clark and Lois Has Begun. :D So, for this episode, this case, and these sets of circumstances, IMO, "Mission" accomplished... for now.

:eek: This IS a Review without giving away too many details, right? I Grade it a 9.5

[KEGZilla]

I though the episode was pretty good. The real problem stems from the fact that we have been on a good run of episodes. So to follow up the recent episodes, Bulletproof fell in a tough spot.

[Watching Smallville]

I liked this episode. A lot. I liked hearing a police officer talk about Green Arrow and the Red Blue Blur, and seeing the crime fighting in Metropolis from a human perspective. Clark learned something about balance and priorities in this episode. And it was a human crime fighter who was the good example for him.

[j-kent]

a mediocre episode..although I would have to agree that this episode was less engaging than ALL the other previous episodes of this season. Definitely felt a filler here.

[SnowBird]

This was a good episode. I would say Toxic was my least favorite. I refuse to say worse because I think we have had a great season and worse just doesn't fit into my description of any of the episodes.

[Watching Smallville]

Agreed.

[galatians221]

idk, not the best...especially compared to the rest of the season.
but i liked the lana scenes personally, she will always and has always played a huge part in smallville.

Her character has practically ruined the show imho. She makes it a soap opera and keeps Clark from being who he is and fulfilling his destiny. We see him as a self indulgent, mopey farm boy who doesn't want to leave the farm or his deal Lana. We've been through all of that. Now Lois comes along and gives him a cattle prod to get him to leave the barn and go get a job and actually do something with his life and now we see him hanging around the Talon hoping for a little action with Lana. I want to see the Man of Steel not a man who can't leave his childhood behind and doesn't want to face the future. Sheesh.

[norman619]

WTF?! How the hell does an alien lose his alien? Crap like this is what makes the show so laughable. The writing is just as crappy as ever. I thought I'd give this show another shot after giving up on it last season. It looks like I was right in ditching this show. This show is still the bastard lovechild of Dawson's Creek and DC comics that I hated.

I'm not as upset as you are but it was the season premiere two seasons ago where MM was wounded horribly and he had to leave earth's atmosphere to be healed. Now he checks in at Smallville General and walks out a day or two later just a little sore. I guess this atmosphere is fine now. He survived a bullet blowing out most of his left shoulder and chest. It is very silly. There's no excuse for CK not having to get him out of earth's atmosphere. MM knows Kal El can fly and it makes no sense that he hasn't mentioned it to him or taught him how.

Doctor Emil Hamilton. The name of the doctor that treated him, paid by Ollie.

[woolanayu]

a filler epi imo, eventhough the writing is kinda CSI-iy, i like the action bits, don't like 'emotions' in clark coz he's back being a BOY, i don't care less for clana.
MORE ACTION and MAN UP on Clark that's all i need to continue watching SV

[FlashInSV]

Is this how it's going to be? Clark is willing to regress, to feel safe and secure?

[rdulle]

I thought the episode was good. Clark (Red/Blue Blur) saved lives. He caught a bullet with his bare hand, then let a bullet bounce off his chest and wound the gunman. Hero stuff. When I first watched the last few minutes, I felt Clark was regressing. But, when watching it again, there wasn't that passion. Clark actually pulled away. Over the next coupe episodes, Clark will find out Lana's secrets. Understand that Lana is not his soulmate. They will part ways. I think we will hear Clark mention Lois in the next couple of episodes to prepare us for when she returns.

If and when that happens I will stop complaining and go back to enjoying the show. Clark is constantly being told by others what to do. In Legion it was Lana telling him to not go along with plans to kill Chloe if necessary. Then he stiffened up and did the right thing. The writers are still presenting CK as wishy washy and easily manipulated. He eventually does the right thing but only after Chloe, Lana or Oliver get involved. It's time for him to get it together.

[Newguy43]

Worst episode since season 2's Skinwalker. I'm over Tess I don't get her and I don't care to. That storyline is weak and makes me homesick for John Glover. Then a Clana kiss straight to end credits!?!?! I actually punched myself in the face when I saw that, it must be my bodies natural reaction to stupidity. The acting was pretty awful too Justin Hartley regressed to his soap opera days and is it just me or does TW seem to be "yeling" most of his lines like he's barking them, Oh man what a disappointment, I wearing a boxing glove next week just in case.

[jimmyolsenblues]

the non-lana parts were so good , i closed my eyes during the lana moments and dealt with it...

[double L]

The last two episodes, have both sucked.

[lana 9]

no toxic is my least favorite

I hope you didn't hurt yourself. It was the worst episode since Amy Adams had to eat Pete to survive. The worst thing was that she didn't eat Pete and he remained on the show. That one was the closest I've come to punching my own face.

[ColdPlay3r]

besides the lana parts
it wasnt to bad
not the best of the season

[smallvillerocks45]

I loved this episode. I understand that many are frustrated (to say the least) with the Clana, but whether or not it's Lana or Lois he's dealing with, as long as Clark is determined to save the world he is going to also be trying to balance that part of his life with his relationships. It's not regression, it's a legitimate concern for Clark and anyone he may choose to spend his life with.

He'll eventually learn that Lois is the best fit for his lifestyle - but before he can get to that point, he needs closure from the Clana situation. I think that's perfectly reasonable. Besides, the Clana wasn't even the bulk of the episode it was just a few minutes as the beginning and the end - the episode was focused on much larger issues than just Clark's love life.

[galatians221]

Is this how it's going to be? Clark is willing to regress, to feel safe and secure?

What makes it worse is that they tease us by having him do Superman type of stuff and then he retreats back to the barn staring at Lana's picture and sighing huge sighs. Enough already; they show us CLois gaining traction and the ratings go up and then they put this garbage in trying to hang on to Lex and Lana even though they are part of the past. We want Superman not CK at Smallville High.

[ZODisGOD]

To me, this episode is within top 50%

[petitemimi]

Lana is back and the ratings are up. There's the correlation. Let's see if they go back down after she leaves.

The ratings are down by 470,000 from Legion to Bulletproof. Just check the news page. So I agree that there's a correlation. Lana goes up, ratings go down.
And judging by next week's trailer. the ratings will continue to drop.

And I don't know which is worse: Toxic or Bulletproof. But there's still 2 lanadrama episodes ahead, so the worst is probably ahead of us.

[zHeN_zHeN]

I wouldn't say it was the worst ever. It was just average, I suppose.

Hopefully, next weeks episode is better.

[pizzahead2490]

this was worst that toxic... it was the worst of the season considering the season been awesome!!!!

i wonder what made this eppy so bad.... :p

[vyperman7]

Actually the ratings are down. Bulletproof received the lowest ratings out of any episode this season.

In regards to the episode itself, it wasn't the worst. Odyssey and Toxic were far worse in my opinion. Even though I did not like the end of the episode with the Clana, this episode still had some redeeming factors to it. The Chlark talk about Lois, Clark in an undercover/dual identity type role, the Lana/Tess fight, and some pretty decent action sequences. I would probably rate it a 7 or 8 out of 10. It wasn't the best or even the most exciting. But a decent episode all the same.

I agree with the positives you stated but the negatives, particularly the wasted storyline of MM getting shot and Clana overwhelmed the positives. Let's face it; the Man of Steel would have taken MM in his arms and flew him out of earth's atmosphere and instead Oliver saves MM with his personal doctor who evidently specializes in treating Martians. I won't even add to the Clana stuff but you are right about the positives. I will re-watch it today and try to focus on those positives that you mentioned.

I wish Lana was Doomsday.That would have been more entertaining.

[hiler1988]

I don't know how people didn't enjoy this episode...it had substance and moral...I liked it.

[Bizarrolover]

I liked this episode including the Clana thing, because I think it needed to happen. Clark really needs to get over his feelings for Lana and put an end to that part of his life. I think the kiss is the beginning of the end. He's still idealizing his life with her and started the kiss not considering a) if she wants that too (apparently she doesn't, because she pushed him a way back twice before they kissed) and b) not knowing a thing about what she's doing in SV. Lana has already dissappointed him once with her double life and now she's doing exactly the same. Once he sees that, it will be completely over.

It needed to happen about three seasons ago. It's old and lame and boring. She's an evil, lying, sneaky plotter and he still thinks of her as his high school sweetheart. She married his #1 enemy and is still up to no good. Lana has ruined Smallville. The only hope is to move past her and we've still got two episodes with her and the series may not survive the ratings crash.

Me too. We're seeing Clark's journey to manhood. And part of that means getting over Lana. MHO, we saw the beginning of it in Bulletproof. He had an important realization, that he could share his life with somebody and still be who he needs to be. The world needs him but he doesn't have to sacrifice his personal life. I thought this was a huge moment for him, he wasn't regressing, wishing to be back at the farm with Lana.

Instead he's wondering if he and Lana can build a future like Turpin and his highschool sweetheart did. It made perfect sense to me when he went to Lana. He needs to explore his feelings for her in order to put them where they belong, in the past.

[Tompouce]

To me, the "worst" epi (even if I don't like to tell it this way) is Prey. The plot sucks. But Clark was GREAT. It is the most important lol

[caniggit]

Smallville isn't looking good currently. Legion was terrible, and following it with the idea of Clark going back to Lana now is a huge backwards step.

Unfortunately it seems the show has descended into the murky world of mediocrity.

[smallvillerocks45]

Well, I thought Legion was fantastic, and Bulletproof was just as enjoyable. I don't think Clark is going back to anything- he just needs closure, and in no time flat, he's going to get it.

Have faith... even with the romance drama, he's still making an effort to save and protect people - and he's still looking for Doomsday. The rest of the world didn't just disappear because Lana's back.

I hope you're right but the ratings are plummeting and we're now up against Bones on Thurs. night and they are still replaying the stupid Clana arc. It's ancient history and it's degrading to the advancement of the character of Superman. He needs to get out of the barn and get to work. Somebody please teach the guy how to fly.

[ledzepfan23]

this definatly wasnt the worst episode of the season. IMO plastique was the worst.

[Night-Wolf]

I agree that ths episode was one of the top 3 most worse episodes this season but not the worse of all. I think that "Toxic" and (maybe) "Plastique" were the worst. But I find it awkward to see people comparing it to "Legion". :confused: "Legion" was one of the best episodes this season, along with "Bride", "Bloodline" and "Identity".

[Québec]

Even if I didn't really enjoy the clana parts, this episode is far from worse episode of the season. Overall, I pretty much enjoyed it.

[battlecat403@yahoo.com]

Sorry to Oliver Queen fans (that includes me! LOL) but Toxic was simply atrocious.

She made herself shakes from the herbs in her garden and there was kryponite in her garden, naturally :lol:
So her metabolism sped up and she ate everything including a deer, but still stayed thin. She basically needed fat because her body had none.

Actually, the ratings fell quite a bit this episode...

[doodie8808]

the ratings are down like huge from 4.3 to 3.7 is a nasty fall!

[Theshadow129x]

yeah this wasnt a very good episode, i have to say. it really didnt do what it was supposed to do with Dan Turpin being a dirty cop and being tied to other dirty cops knowing the cops he is with have been murdering other cops. By episodes end, Dan is considered a good guy even though he was beating up people while off the clock and abusing his staus as a cop.

[All about Clark]

I just thought the episode was boring and I thought Toxic was boring as well. Kind of equal as being this season's worst eppy so far.

After several viewings I did find stuff I did like in the episode, certain scenes, but it's like it fell flat overall.

I think Lois was missed as well. And Lana just plain tiring.

[Hopefulsuicide]

I don't know how people didn't enjoy this episode...it had substance and moral...I liked it.

definately, just because it didn't have any cheap shocks, guest appearances etc, doesn't mean it was boring. it was the first episode in a long time that actually felt like an episode of a smallville, of a tv show that has a consistent vibe

It didn't look that way to me, in fact it was kind of lame how he goes to the hospital with a hole the size of a basketball in his shoulder and he walks out the next day feeling a little sore. I guess those Martians heal pretty well even without their powers.

I think Bulletproof mainly referred to the comments the cops made about always wearing a bulletproof vest, and that became Clark's excuse that he used when that sniper shot him at the end of the episode. It is kind of weird how Jonn Jonnz made that sudden and speedy recovery. Could it be his alien metabolism kicking in, or is it possible that his powers are slowly returning? We know that to go along with the comics they'd have to come back eventually.

I don't agree that this was the worst episode at all. I liked Danny Turpin a lot -- he's one of the better guest stars we've had in recent memory. I also liked the awesome character development we had for Tess, and I really enjoy watching the chemistry she has with Ollie, which I'm thinking we may see more of for a while after this due to her newfound hatred of Lex.

The one thing that bothered me, and majorly detracted from this episode (again, just in my opinion) was the step backward in Clark's character -- how he's questioning at the end of the show whether or not he really needs to focus on saving the world all the time and starts making out with Lana. It seemed to be a step back for her, too -- she was looking so much more confident and capable and didn't need to be romantically linked to Clark to have a purpose. I'm glad they'll be calling it quits again by the end of "Requiem."

Good points. The Tess thing was startling but Lana's involvement in it just shows more of her evil conniving side and I don't trust her.

The only good thing in this eppy was Lana and Tess Smackdown.
The rest of the eppy was not even worth watching! I would say that this eppy and "Plastique" was the worst so far.

Agreed. Now we have two more with Lana? Season 9 may be vanishing before our eyes as the scene returns to his fixation over his high school sweetheart once again. The song that never ends. Lois is still gone even though Chloe is found and is with Jimmy. I guess Lois had a family crisis; her sisters neighbor had an ingrown toenail and needs someone to do the shopping. That should take another two episodes.

Take the Lana butt-kissing out and it was actually a pretty great episode.

it wasn't the worst episode i think its just a lot of us vehemently or at last strongly do not like lana (at least I know) that it is just overshadowing our mind. lol i know i was screaming at my tv for a good well lol lets just say it wasnt very pretty
