[Tompouce]

Tom Welling, of course http://www.yelims.com/IPB/Invision-Board-France-367.gif

[TOMophilus]

Tom Welling, of course http://www.yelims.com/IPB/Invision-Board-France-367.gif
Exactly! :D

[Tompouce]

Exactly! :D
Lol:lol:;)

[SupermanRox]

I don't think that I can realistically say who I think is the best until I've actually seen the episode. I am voting for Tom Welling though since he is the main character.

[Tompouce]

And the best one ;)

[LoveHurts38]

Tom Welling, of course http://www.yelims.com/IPB/Invision-Board-France-367.gif

I hear you:D

[wingster55]

Either Allison or Sam.

[Davis Bloome]

I'm surprised I'm the first one to vote for sam...

[Diego*Chloe]

Either Allison or Sam.


I agree......uhmm maybe Cassidy too ;).

[celita]

Tom only, everybody else were boring

[Mrs. Superman]

So many great performances but Ill give the slight edge to Allison. I feel everyone did an excellent job. Little Davis made me want to cry. :(

[Melekith]

Flame me all you want, but young Davis was the only interesting thing about this episode.

[skylar]

Tom but not enough of him.

[BeldarofRemulak]

So many great performances but Ill give the slight edge to Allison. I feel everyone did an excellent job. Little Davis made me want to cry. :(

I agree I loved most of the performances tonight! I loved Allison's range and I love how she expresses her emotions on her face...its not flat, but I also liked young davis too...he was such a cutie and played Davis really well. And Sam. I love how he acts..he reminds me of Angel in a way.

[AgentChaos]

This is another thread where everybody was great. No bad performances from the usual suspects to bring things down. Very slight edge to Allison, though.

[Alexander III]

Cass~!!! YUMMMMMMMMY!!

[Night_Hawk90]

tom welling did a fantastic job with a subpar script.

[wingster55]

AM rocked it.

[SGuthrie27]

Indeed, wingster55 -- Allison Mack DID rock the house!

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Chlarkislove]

So many great performances but Ill give the slight edge to Allison. I feel everyone did an excellent job. Little Davis made me want to cry. :(

I totally agree.

[NinaDavis]

Welling!

[Smallville6]

Tom!

[Jack-El49]

#1 - Tom
#1A - Cassidy

[pleasenoclois]

SW and AM were great. I could watch SW do almost anything and like it though... so I voted for him.

[kal-el_Girl]

sam witwer did an excellent job! he's so convincing and brings nothing but strenght to the series. ALTHOUGH I still TW was great too :)

[MetroGirl06]

Gotta give my props to Sam in this one.

[carlomato]

:pCassidy Freeman:p

[clois-destiny-forever]

TW was great and so was CF!

[Kschreck]

Tom was the best actor in this episode but mostly only because the writers didn't have to many plotholes for when he spoke.

[you_smell_terrific]

Toss up between Sam and Allison. He plays Davis so pained, I love it. And I really felt Allison's conflicted feelings about Davis, being asked to kill him, morality, her feelings for a killer, and her devotion to Clark. Really wonderfully acted

[Kryptochloe]

Hard to choose between Allison and Sam.... still can't decide...

[Herod]

Sam was great (he gets my vote) but Allison sucked and I can't believe she's gotten more votes than Cassidy who was second on my list. I'm sorry but her performance was god awful. It was silly, whinny and so many other negative things. She usually does okay but tonight she was way off.

[antx]

Everyone was awesome tonight.Tom was so great in playing the heroic Clark trying to talk Chloe and Davis down from Davis taking his own life.Sam was so wonderful with his facial expressions.I loved what Allison did with her pained expressions with The Davis Dilema.I think though Cassidy was the best.I remember her saying this was the biggest episode with Tess,and she definitely delivered.I loved what she did in the Tess/Davis bedroom scene.Her looks and chilling voice were just incredible.

[Pink Hurricane]

They all did a great job with the acting tonight. I'm gonna vote for Allison. She completely rocked. Her emotional scenes really got to me.

[Lilah]

I am all for Tess Mercer as my new favorite addition to the cast. She made "Power" bearable and "Eternal" too... thank you Cassidy....

[amalie]

I thought everyone was great in this episode but I'll give a particular nod to Allison and Sam Witwer

[costas22]

Everyone was fantastic.I give it to Sam.

[wingster55]

I don't think there was one bad performance tonight honestly.

[RedKRules]

AM and SW :D:D

[Autumn]

Sam and Allison! That scene with the kryptonite was stunning.

[Showmaster]

I seriously tought Davis/Sam was the best in the episode.

I was sad when he "died":-(

[FlashInSV]

Cassidy Freeman OWNS Smallville tonight.

[Iluvgreen]

this is so wierd! I (for the first time) have no idea!

[Kid Collins]

Allison Mack hands down.

[Rift]

Annette O'Toole as Martha Kent. :D

[Jaderoyale]

Tom.
Though i'm not a massive fan of the episode he was good.

[Tompouce]

Annette O'Toole as Martha Kent. :D
:lol:You are right, I miss her so much:(

[rajman]

Alison was the clear winner, and she will be this seasons best actress by the end of it

[marcella]

Sam

[Diego*Chloe]

Alison was the clear winner, and she will be this seasons best actress by the end of it


I agree ;)

Also I cant belive that the Mod edit wont admit that AM was the best actress of this episode I mean I know everyone has their opinions but no other character showed the range of emotions that Chloe showed Mod Edit >_>

[Davis Bloome]

While I voted for Sam, Allison surely has my respect. The interaction between the two was fantastic, especially in the krypto cell scene.

[Alania]

Cassidy Freeman/Tess

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

hmmm...I say Sam Witwer and Cassidy Freeman! They were awesome.

And despite Clark acting a bit dumb in some instances in the epi, Tom was very good too.

[Herod]

Also I cant belive that the mod edit wont admit that AM was the best actress of this episode I mean I know everyone has their opinions but no other character showed the range of emotions that Chloe showed mod edit>_>
You know people have their own opinions and yet if someone didn't choose AM it must be because they are a hater? Yeah. Um, that made sense. :rolleyes:

I'm voting for Sam on this one. He's just a great actor and even though I'm not a huge Davis supporter at the moment I can't deny SW's talent. :cool:

[Mickey_Bickey]

SW definitely! I love that actor! He's passionate, dark, and there are no inhibitions with his acting! Bravo!

I'm surprised I'm the first one to vote for sam...

That avatar and name!!:lol: I feel like the real Davis is here with us!!:D

[Davis Bloome]

That avatar and name!!:lol: I feel like the real Davis is here with us!!:D
I'll take that as a compliment... lol
So don't become a criminal or I'll come after ya!:D

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

I agree ;)

Ummm, I love Allison Mack and I think she is a great actress...but in my opinion Sam was the best actor tonight.

[Eeyore840]

All of the actors did a great job, but I voted Sam as the best. Allison was a close second, though.

[Tompouce]

SW definitely! I love that actor! He's passionate, dark, and there are no inhibitions with his acting! Bravo!

That avatar and name!!:lol: I feel like the real Davis is here with us!!:D
LOOOL, Michèle I told "davis" the same yesterday evening. This name...:D

[Smallville Vamp]

TW gets my vote!

[Minamostaza]

Allison was awesome, really awesome as always. Sam and Allison did a fantastic job.

[skira]

TW

[Tompouce]

The way he looked at Chloe after she "killed" Davis/his face was stunning

[luthorian]

All were great, I voted for Sam.

[SnowBird]

All of the characters rock but Tom is the Best:)

[Tompouce]

All of the characters rock but Tom is the Best:)
:D:p;)

[Welling_is_pretty]

Welling was excellent, Allison broke my heart but I gotta give it to Sam. For the first time ever I cared about Davis and felt for him. That is powerful acting.

So yeah, had to vote Sam.

[Davis Bloome]

Agreed, btw your av is hilarious!

[alejandrita439]

i think allison mack..

[HeartChakraBabe]

Allison and Sam were both so good in "Eternal" that I had to go 'enie, meanie, minie, mo' to choose which one to vote for. :lol: It landed on Sam, but both of them were spectacular!

[Chloe Bloome]

Sam Witwer, he brought a realism to Smallville that has been pretty rare. Tom is good for TV, but Sam is going places!

[isagill chlark fan]

for me sam and allison both actors were great in this episode

[Davis Bloome]

Well for me Tom Welling does a fantastic job playing Clark, but that's about it. I mean I didn't enjoy the Fog that much, but that is maybe also cause the film itself wasn't good. I don't know if Tom Welling could ever show his true potential in a movie if he got the chance, but Sam Witwer certainly has proved his worth in films as the Mist. I also loved him the force unleashed. I mean I was surprised when I learned he also played the Emperor. He did a great job in doing that.

Agree completely of course. Tom is good at playing Clark but he's not such a complex character imo, okay he is certainly 'layered' but not as much as Davis. Sam really manages to bring an emotion to the character. I feel sorry for Davis, which is not the approach a lot of people would have gone for, instead make him a bad boy or something, but I think it was an interesting road to take. Sam also proved how good he is in other shows like Dexter, a lot of people remember his role though it was small, and indeed he was extraordinary in The Mist.

[TOMophilus]

A Tom is good at playing Clark but he's not such a complex character imo, okay he is certainly 'layered' but not as much as Davis. Sam really manages to bring an emotion to the character.
Are you kidding me? Davis has only two layers: killer/transformation mode or whiny "Oh, Chloe, I am so torn apart, yadayada" mode. That´s it!

Clark is not supposed to be emotional but stoic. And 8 seasons have not sufficed for some to understand that this is a feature of the character, not the actor.

Thank you:)This is exactly what I said in another topic about Clark called "insensitive". Clark in essence doesn't show his feelings. That is the character. And Tom Welling is absolutely amazing with this fact;)

Right on TOMophilus!...Even John Glover said how hard it was to play Clark in Transferrence, S4 ep6. There were many takes with the scene with Lionel as Clark talking to Martha. He kept over acting the part. Tom was amazing as Clark playing Lionel...Then in Splinter, S5 ep7, Tom played paranoid Clark when infected with a sliver of Brainiac. Again an outstanding performance...In Reckoning S5 ep12, Tom played every emotion when he asked Lana to marry him resulting in Lana and Jonathan's deaths...Just this season in Hex. Tom had great comedic timing and was the best liked episode of the season...TW has a very expressive face and doesn't even have to speak a word to make a scene great. I saw post after post at how viewers cried when they saw Clark give his goodbye kiss to Lana. Even the ones who didn't support the relationship. Kristin said how great Tom was in that scene...There are more episodes where Tom knocked it out of the park but I think you get the drift. Tom has gotten praise from actors, directors and producers saying how good Tom is as an actor. Playing the stoic Clark doesn't give him many chances to show his acting range but there are enough examples that Tom is capable of greatness.

[NinaDavis]

Tom

[Firebunny]

I have to say the acting and directing in this episode really saved it. The writing was pretty bad, but I hardly noticed/cared because the acting was so stellar. We had the four strongest actors in the cast in this episode and they were all on fire. I wouldn't mind if every episode was just these four actors and James Marshall directing.

ITA with your post. Especially the bolded part. Tom is amazing with his face expressions. He plays Clark in an outstanding way. It is not easy to have to be always stoic, not showing your feelings just your expressions. He is perfect for this. Remember, how many times we wonder "what he feels or thinks exactly ?". The scene where he is the most ambiguous is with Lois for the almost kiss. No one can say he was not extraordinary here.
Snowbird, I can add something ? Bizarro, Tom as Bizarro, this is not a proof ?:p
Transference is my favorite epi thanks to Tom's performance (+ this little sentence in French but well...:D). HE IS AN AMAZING ACTOR:)

[zorasuperman]

close call between clark kent and davis bloome :D

[topping82]

Sam Witwer as Davis Bloome gets my vote. He's brilliant in this episode.

[justme_007]

Sam Witwer as Davis Bloome. Terrific!!!!!!

Second for Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan! No word. This girl knows how to act!!!

Third and not less important Tom Welling as Clark Kent!

Great episode.. great performances!! Love the smallville drama!!!!

ITA...I could have gone on and on giving examples of Tom's great performances in the last 8 years...Bizarro and red K Clark are also favorites of mine.

[rebecavaldez]

Normally I would go for Erica and Allison but this one was
Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer
Alex Ferris as Young Davis Bloome is a close second. The actor was familar. Anyone know where he is from?

[RedKRules]

I wouldn't mind if every episode was just these four actors and James Marshall directing.

Yep, I could live with that definitely :D

Right on!

[supercatmom]

Allison Mack first with Sam Witwer a close second.

[gardenia]

Tom Welling.

[jpfort1957]

With my vote, Tom and Sam are tied. I don't even see how that could be. This poll must be rigged. Tom should be way ahead of Sam.

Sam was more amazing than Tom in this episode. He had more to do. Not rigged at all. Sam has a lot of fans.

As you can guess, I'm not one of them.
