Smallville Ranking Game

[super_j_man]

On a scale of 1 to 10, rank the Smallville episode, character, actor/actress, prop, plot device, etc. that the poster above you has posted. Then post something for the next poster to rank.

I'll start things off. The next person to post ranks the following from 1 to 10 and then post something else:

Tom Welling

[HeroesUnlimited]

Tom Welling - "9"

How about...Martha Kent's cooking?

[super_j_man]

If it's anything like my mama's cooking then 10! :)

Lois's cooking? :p

[HeroesUnlimited]

Lois's cooking - "3" (edible only if starving)

The strength of Smallville High's football team

[super_j_man]

I'll say about a 9 for the football team (It's not really fair they had Superman on their team;))

the episode "Crossover"

[jsm]

6

The episode "Rosetta"

[HeroesUnlimited]

Rosetta - "8.5"

Johnathan Kent's integrity

[super_j_man]

8 (him keeping secret his covenant to Jor-El in Season 3 keeps him from getting a 10)

the jail-fight scene in Transference

[HeroesUnlimited]

jail fight scene - "7" good but not necessary "bloody"

Clark's dependablity

[super_j_man]

It depends.....is Lana around?? If not I'll give him a 7, if so I'll give him a 4.

Davis Bloom

[HeroesUnlimited]

Davis? Based on what? Well he turned out to be a creep so I'll say a "2"

The Talon (as a hangout)

[super_j_man]

9

I meant davis bloome overall

Project Ares

[Ayden]

It wasn't a total failure, so 7

Chloe's fashion in seasons 8 & 9

[super_j_man]

7

Chloe's hairdo in seasons 2 & 3?

[HeroesUnlimited]

Chloe's hair? Really? Well, I'm not a fan of short hair on women so I'll say a "4"

Oliver (as an ally to Clark)

[super_j_man]

Sometimes he's and 8, sometimes he's a 3

Pilot episode?

[HeroesUnlimited]

pilot episode 6.5 (didn't get hooked until season 2)

The Kwatche Caves arc?

[super_j_man]

I'd give it a 8. I thought it was an actual pretty good way to introduce Clark's origins.

Morgan Edge's character?

[SGuthrie27]

The original one, played by Rutger Hauer? 9. The second one? 7.

The "Lex going crazy" arc in Season 3?

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[jsm]

10

Michael Rosenbaum's acting in "Shattered"?

[super_j_man]

11 - heheh :D

Lana Lang in Seasons 1-3

[xrayvision]

Lana Lang in Seasons 1-3: 7 (would have been higher but the secrets & lies thing brought it down)


Luthors vs. Teagues scenes in Forever

[HeroesUnlimited]

Luthors vs. Teagues - A 7.5 (great banter, and a fun, outside action scene - but no Clark)

Veritas

[super_j_man]

6 (was a descent story arc but could have been better)

the wall of wierd

[HeroesUnlimited]

wall of weird - a "5" (the digital wall of weird was kind of a cool idea)

Bart Allen

[super_j_man]

8.2 - pretty cool character, but along with the rest of the Justice League I didn't like him in Doomsday

Ollie's jet?

[lifelovedestiny]

3 - seriously, I was suprised we never saw the guy doing his laundry in there!

Martian Manhunter losing his powers?

[Aficionado]

2, It would have been cool if he had kept them.

Lex and Clark's chemistry

[xrayvision]

10 (as long as it lacks Lana)

Clark still being a copyboy

[super_j_man]

3

Dark Thursday?

[HeroesUnlimited]

Dark Thursday - a "5" - felt like one of those "leftover" storylines from the previous seasons they needed to "wrap up" before they could move on

Lex Luthor's skull's resistance to bullets (fired at point-blank range, as seen in Fracture)

[super_j_man]

6 - I almost thought they were going to use meteor abilities to explain why Lex Luthor had so many close calls with death, but they never really explained it well. So fact the dude gets shot so many times and still lives is kind of annoying without any explanation at all.

The Season 2 blooper wheel (if you haven't seen it, it's on youtube)

[xrayvision]

The season 2 gag reel: 10 (I loved it; they need more of these but without Michael & other former cast members it doesn't seem like they have as much fun on the set anymore)


The Black Creek Facility

[HeroesUnlimited]

Black Creek - 4 (Too many of these types of facilities on the show already - 33.1, Belle Reeve, etc.)

Jed McNally, as a boss/employer

[super_j_man]

2 -do I have to explain? ;)

the Delete Smackdown (not sure if this has been done before)

[HeroesUnlimited]

A solid 7. Chloe actually did OK in that fight. Better than I thought she would.

Clark's ability to keep his abilities a "secret"

[super_j_man]

6.5 - Either he's portrayed as a bad liar or everyone else is oblivious :p

The Smallville Torch

[xrayvision]

Smallville Torch: 8 (very creative & outside the box thinking, plus Clark got to write articles which he has since not done any of)

Lana's hand after Lexzod impaled it

[super_j_man]

7.5 - Oddly enough I liked Lana in that episode. KK's acting was great!

Clark's super jump in Hidden

[HeroesUnlimited]

Clark's super jump - a solid "9" *The only thing that would have made it a "10" would have been if it was actual flight

The episode Insurgence

[super_j_man]

10 - awesome episode, I don't think I can think of any flaws with it :D

Kara's introduction

[xrayvision]

Kara's Introduction: 7 (started out OK but it plummeted not long after IMO)


The Kent Farm Storm Cellar

[HeroesUnlimited]

The storm cellar - a "9" (The only problem I had was it's destruction :()

The way Smallville integrates former actors from the Superman movies into the series (Christopher Reeve, Terrance Stamp, Margot Kidder, Marc McClure, etc.)

[super_j_man]

7 - They could have introduced Margot better.

The episode Fever

[xrayvision]

10: This is the type of episode that showed what a great show Smallville was back in its golden days.


Evil Lex in Onyx

[Night_Hawk90]

9 i wish this was how lex was portrayed more often in smallville instead of the flip-flop he turned into

the introduction of Lois lane?

[xrayvision]

3: I thought it was mistimed with the stones plot getting so badly shortchanged and a season too early (should have appeared in season 5 as a fellow college classmate of Clark's--would have been much more appropriate & would have been much better for the character)


The episode Vengeance

[super_j_man]

8 - I thought it was good to show Clark's angst from his father's death. The problem I had with it was the Special Effects looked really fake.

Clark and Chloe's friendship

[xrayvision]

2: It started out great. I loved the rocky path that happened as a result of her deal with Lionel and how she & Clark got past that. But since Arrival, I can't stand the way it's been portrayed since Clark became a BDA because of it and Chloe lost her previous identity.


Lucas Luthor

[super_j_man]

6 - He was cool but I didn't like how they never used him or refered to him again

Clark's birthday cake in Oracle

[HeroesUnlimited]

3 - it was pitiful, but.....she tried. God bless Lois.

Milton Fine, as a college instructor

[super_j_man]

7 - he was slightly interesting but I probably would of gotten bored very easily seeing as how I don't like History and he has a monotone voice.

The episode Splinter

[xrayvision]

9: Very good episode, though a little too Lana centric


Sleeper

[HeroesUnlimited]

1 - not a good episode (yuck)

Quest

[xrayvision]

2: Directed by my favorite writer (Kenneth Biller) but full of too many retcons even though the story would have been amazing had the explanations of earlier seasons not happened. I still love that ending scene with Lex though.


Oreo with Clark's footprint on it

[HeroesUnlimited]

1 - That Oreo is no longer edible!!!

Chloe's involvement in Kryptonian affairs

[super_j_man]

5 - okay sometimes but gets annoying

Explosion on the Kent Farm in Exodus

[HeroesUnlimited]

6 - visually spectacular but the effects were devastating

Sheriff Adams

[xrayvision]

7: Funny character who was a pretty good replacement for Sheriff Ethan


Clark's first dream in Slumber

[super_j_man]

7.5 - I actually didn't think it was that bad a plot for an episode, even though some people hated it. I didn't really buy Pete's conversation with Clark where Pete told him he failed his History Test, but then again it was only a dream right? ;)

The second meteor shower

[HeroesUnlimited]

2nd meteor shower - a great centerpiece for the season 4 finale. Cool to actually see Clark present during one of these (he was 3 years old during the last one) - I'll give it a "9"

Sheriff Ethan's mustache

[super_j_man]

What can I say? Sherriff Ethan rocks the 'stache! 10 :)

The episode Rabid

[xrayvision]

7: Good but they could have done it without the zombies.


Desiree's scene in Lex's pool

[HeroesUnlimited]

Desiree isn't really my "taste" but she was pretty hot in that scene, I'll have to admit....8

Lana's scene in the Smallville High pool in Nicodemus

[super_j_man]

9 - funny, hot, and I took off a point for the body double ;)

Lois' strip performance in Exposed

[HeroesUnlimited]

Lois in Exposed - a "5" (I'm sorry, she just looked too uncomfortable. Awkward)

Lionel's jailhouse haircut

[super_j_man]

8 - I'll admit the whole scene was fantastic, but Lionel looks better with longer hair. ;)

Clark as Kal-El in Crusade

[HeroesUnlimited]

Clark as Kal-el in Crusade - 10 He was just awesome

Jonathan's low sodium ham sandwiches (following his heart attack in Hereafter)

[xrayvision]

9: I thought it was low sodium turkey, but anyway if Martha makes it, it must be great. Plus sodium is bad for you.


Lana being light fixtured into unconsciousland thanks to Duncan.

[super_j_man]

8 - no explanation needed ;)

Since you bring it up:
The episode Reunion

[HeroesUnlimited]

Reunion - 7.5 (nice flashback scenes, good Warrior Angel stuff - but I didn't care for the astral projection stuff with Duncan)

Clark's and Doomsday's "fight" in Doomsday

[super_j_man]

5 - All I can say is it was great while it lasted.

Clark and Titan's fight in Combat

[xrayvision]

9: Best fight ever seen on the show (one that I expected the Doomsday fight to top & was more than disappointed about when it didn't happen)

The Clark-Jonathan "hold the fort" speech from Witness

[Degobunny]

10- Pa Kent was always good at speech's

Dr. Fate's Helmet

[AllSmallville]

9 - His helmet is awesome... *sighs* Want one actually.. ok... getting off the topic...

Lois on the phone, dancing telling everyone that she's getting married to Clark (Persuasion)

[super_j_man]

7 - funny, but wierd

Season 9 (so far)

[Saph]

8 - some hits and some misses (hopefully the next couple of episodes will be amazing!)

Red K Clark

[super_j_man]

8 - at times he was really overused but cool nonetheless

Checkmate (the organization)

[super_j_man]

9 - love Checkmate! :)

Chloe's Fever letter

[Pali]

9 - it was touching when she read it and it helped with continuity in Instinct.

Final montage and cliffhangers of Covenant?

[super_j_man]

10! Truly epic! :)

Chlollie

[SGuthrie27]

8! Not as great as Chlark, obviously, in my opinion, but I consider myself Chlollie-friendly. I'm just glad to see Chloe happy again. :)

The Henry James Olsen retcon? :p

[super_j_man]

You know initially I didn't mind it at all, but now I'm just annoyed with it. I wouldn't have minded it so much if we knew AA wasn't the real Jimmy in the first place. It's like Cat Grant. At least with the new Cat Grant we were told right off the bat that she's not the real thing. So 5!

The Lex clones in Lazarus?

[fantom zoner]

You know initially I didn't mind it at all, but now I'm just annoyed with it. I wouldn't have minded it so much if we knew AA wasn't the real Jimmy in the first place. So 5!

You were way too generous... :p


The Lex clones in Lazarus?

7. I like that they've brought him back to the story, but I wish they could really look like him. That's why they call them clones, isn't it (and I don't mean the younger and the older one)?

Icicle as the vilain in Absolute Justice

[super_j_man]

9 - I really like him as a villain

Oliver Queen's overall growth as a character

----- Added 4 Minutes later -----


You were way too generous... :p

Well part of me would've liked AA's Jimmy to be younger like he was in the mythos. I tend to be a mythos fan, which is why I didn't mind it at first. However the more I think about it, the more I realize that it was a CHEAP move by TPTB. We would've been better off knowing that he wasn't the real Jimmy in the first place, rather than making us believe for three years that he was. And after all the other ten million things that don't line up with the mythos, why kill someone for it? All right, I'll step off my soapbox now! :p

[Pali]

7

I was not fond of him when he was depressed and acted like a little child, but his heroic and funny side are great to watch.

Justice League on Smallville (all of their appearances as a group)

[fantom zoner]

9
I loved justice, and I love it when they're around. Dropped a point because I wish they would use them more. Especially Bart

Plaid shirts. just kidding. Jonathan's return and how it's presented

[super_j_man]

10 million thousand! :D (if I could rate it that high)

The soap opera drama that was Season 6!

[fantom zoner]

What season 6? Was there a season 6? :p Na, I liked some parts of season 6. But the soap opera drama gets a 5

Chloe's lines in the last couple of seasons

[super_j_man]

hmmm........I like Chloe seasons 3-7 and parts of 9............I'll give it a 7!

The Vessel/Zod episode duo?

[xrayvision]

I'll give it a 6.

Brainiac burning the hut in Honduras with those dead bodies & the CDC workers in Hypnotic

[Pali]

7

It was scary in a way, but it was one of the better scenes in that episode.

Special effects used in Smallville

[fantom zoner]

That's a tricky one. I think they could do a lot better, but considering their budget, they sometimes surprise me. And then, sometimes it's just bad. Though there were some really great ones....Okay, I'm rambling. Taking all into consideration, I'll give it an 8

The one liners

[SVFAN89]

I give the one liners a 9. I guess it depends on who says them. Usually Lois, Chloe, Lex, and Lionel have/had the best lines of everyone.

The cliffhangers in Commencement?

[VilleFan]

I literally JUST watched this episode, so I give the cliffhangers a solid 9. :)

The return of Pete Ross in "Hero" (season 7)?

[xrayvision]

I love the character but hated how they brought him back: 3

Desiree Atkins talking topless to Jonathan.

[VilleFan]

I'll rank 8 for Jonathan's behavior. He didn't look at her and insisted she put her robe on... although points off for caving in to her pheremone spell

The three witches in "Spell."

[xrayvision]

I really despised the whole witch plot, so: 1

Lionel-in-Clark (in Transference)
