Season Two Frequently Asked Questions

[neo_nate]

In the season opener for season 2,the episode Vortex, after the key is in clarks ship you see it taking off through the corn field then up in the sky b4 the Tornado did whatever it did to make the key fall out thus crashing the ship back in the cornfield. My question is where was it headed if it didn't get sucked into the tornado. Was it going back to where Krytpon used to be?????

[LionelLuthor]

I think it was drawn to Clark maybe?
But I always wonder that because it says "And now the season premiere of Smallville" and the first thing we see is the ship going crazy towards the tornado.

[chlana_sandwich]

I think it was going to protect Clark.

Also, it was odd that the key fell out, considering that when the key was inserted into the ship, the edges disappeared, as if to suggest that it was welded to the ship.

[SuperDub2]

they are very good questions, where was it goin? and how did the key fall out?

realistically id put it down to another inconsistency.

But my take is that it as goin to protect clark and i have no anser other than than the inconsistency for the key falling out. I mean, im sure it faced tougher times travelling across the universe and nothing happened!

[TomWfan101]

it was going to clark wasnt it?

[avidreader]

In the Smallville Companion, it says that the ship was following Clark.

I guess the key got knocked out with the disruption of airflow.

[UpandAtom]

It odd how the key was able to survive an explosion in "Calling" but fell out due to a little wind.

[LionelLuthor]

If you watch the episode again, the ship is clearly struck by lightning- causing the key to fall out.
I know, the ship survived landing on earth but was affected by lightning-this is just an inconsistency.

Obviously the ship managed to miss all of the interstellar lightning. You know, when it was going through asteroid belts, black holes, and supernovas. ;)

[LionelLuthor]

Haha agreed.

[maryjanewatson]

well, the key did fall out when it first landed on earth. and maybe the earth lightnening just affected it differently than anything else out in space? who knows! open your imaginations!!! (hehe, i have a big imagination)



ok, here's my question:

in this season (i don't remember what episode exactly) we find out that lionel sort of blackmailed the kents into talking the ross's into selling the creamed corn factory to him (because he was having trouble convincing them) by saying that he would cause trouble in the adoption of clark . but in the piolet episode of season one, lionel has already signed all the papers to buy the factory. this happens before the kents find clark. what happened there?

[UpandAtom]

I thought that the Ross brothers backed out of the deal at the last minute because of the meteor shower so Lionel had to convince them again.

[hottietom]

What was the song during the rave in Rush?

[neo_nate]

I think it was called out of control but I have no idea who the artist is, sounds like the chemical brothers mabey??

[Cellist]

Alright, I'm really confused. Clark does know that he came from another planet, right? Season 2 has had me so confused due to the whole adoption agency thing. Could someone care to explain this whole adoption plot?

[emsfan]

Just a hint please watch season 2 title Lineage i think thier is an explanation about adoption...............!

[Cellist]

Yeah, I saw that one and that's what made me so confused haha.

[yaddayadda]

I'm new here and new to Smallville. I just started watching it a couple of weeks ago and recently watched Insurgence. In it, the thieves find the disc in Lionel's vault. Did I miss something between Vortex and this episode? I don't remember Lionel finding the disc. The last I saw was in Vortex where it fell out of the space ship. I've watched all of these episodes pretty fast and I don't know how I could have missed it. Did we see Lionel find the disc? If so, when?

[ginnyfan]

I think Roger Nixon (the reporter from the Inquisitor) stole the disk from Lex... Then he started working for Lionel behind Lex's back... I think. So perhaps Roger gave the disc to Lionel... Or Lionel got the disk from Roger some other way... but they showed Roger steal the disk...

I can't remember seeing Lionel find it though.

[yaddayadda]

Thanks, at least I know I'm not losing it. Not sure why it bugs me so much!

The ship got hit with some lightening and that made the key pop out - some key......it just falls out where ever it wants to.

I think that the ship was heading to Clark as well - in the other episodes where the ship activates - Clark is standing right there with it so the ship doesn't really need to go that far. But when CK is in the tornado - the ship goes to him (I'd like to think it wa to protect him).

The ship (after losing its key in the vortex lightning strike) fell to earth and lay in a cornfield undetected for 2 episodes!! Ray the locksmith was run off the road by a jittery Dr Hamilton. Pete came along after Ray barrel-rolled to within a few feet of the ship. Pete took Ray to SMC where Hamilton killed him (not before Ray had told him Pete Ross had helped him). Pete brought Clark to the cornfield next day and they took the ship to Pete's Barn. Pete saw Clark and Jonathan drive away at night after they intended stealing the ship (Pete had moved it). Pete confronted Clark the next day. It was this moment Clark chose to tell Pete his secret with the famous line "Pete, we need to talk" (as he stopped Pete driving away with wheels spinning!!).

Alright, I'm really confused. Clark does know that he came from another planet, right? Season 2 has had me so confused due to the whole adoption agency thing. Could someone care to explain this whole adoption plot? It was quite simple. When Sheriff Ethan came to the Kent house on the evening after the meteor shower, a 3 year old Clark had run out in view of him. Martha thought quickly on her feet and said he was their newly adopted son Clark (her family name). Earlier in the day Jonathan had rescued Lex (after Lionel had hailed them down), and as a show of gratitude, Lionel offered the Kents help any time they needed it. Because they now had to make Clark's adoption "legitimate" they asked Lionel for help. Lionel set up a sham but apparently legal adoption through Metropolis United Charities - a LuthorCorp company (Clark apparently being the only adoptee until we found out about Lucas Luthor in Lineage). So although an alien, Clark had official adoption papers saying he was the Kents adopted son. It was never explained why Lionel didn't question why the Kents needed dodgy adoption papers but Jonathan paid for it for the rest of his life. Lionel had asked Jonathan for a favour in return and he helped convince the Ross's to sell their cream corn factory, allowing the Luthors a foothold in Smallville. Jonathan beat himself up about it until his death in Season 5.

Having just rewatched Season 2, I have a question: What caused Lex to think there was anything special about the vial of blood? I don't recall any scenes between when the blood was drawn and when it was stolen from the Dr.'s office that would have given Lex cause to think it was anything other than a regular patient's blood.

[nothingwithoutchloe]

Back to why the key fell out of the ship, I know lightning hit it but maybe it fell out cause Clark was in the tornado. If the ship was going to Clark maybe it stopped cause it had found him.

Roger Nixon couldn't have given Lionel the key to the ship because he was with Jonathan Kent while the ship flew away. They were trapped under that motor home when the key fell out of the ship. I don't think it was ever explained how Lionel got the key.

[jesslang]

what about when they are on the horses and they are having some picknic looking day...what ep is that from!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...i cant find it ..better yet what season is that????

[smallvillefreak24]

roger died in vortex its just implied that lionel finds the key

[Lex00]

It was in season 2 episode 'Duplicity' if I remember correctly.

Does anyone else remember or notice in this episode that when pete was helping clark up towards the end of the show how they starting laughing? I think that they thought the camera was off of them and they just cracked up. I watched it a 1000 times trying to figure out what was so funny but then I realized it wasn't part of the script. Does any body know of any other mistakes that have been caught?
