Why hire a big, bad guy if you're only going to show less than a minute and a half of him in total screen time??! And then advertise the heck outta him like he's the center of the episode?!

Through ranting! Put on your happy face! :D

I thought that the story presented in this episode should have been spread out among 2 episodes. There was WAY too much going on. I can't believe they wasted a zoner in an episode where so much was going on with Level 33.1. I was very disappointed with the little coverage Clark got and how he didn't even get 1 shot off Batista. I mean, WTF were they thinking? The Batista portion of the episode should have definitely not been resolved so fast. Besides that, the rest of the episode was good minus the Lexana garbage, which stunk so bad that it made me queasy.

Yeah, I especially loved how much of a wimp clark was. *In Child's voice* Clark: "Why are you doing this?" So you seriously asked that question Clark?:eek:

:lol: yea that was funny,but I do think batista could have been a great villian,they jus didn't spend much time wit him.Both him and clark had lil time together or even seperate,u wouldn't even think the story was about clark savin anyone.Jimmy was more a hero than anyone tonight,and lionel was more of a villain than anyone either

I agree, it was a waste. Batista should of have more air time!! He didn't have that much lines.

I have to say again, I think they are pushing Smallville to a fast finish. So yeah, there was excess waste, but there was probably a reason:
Put the Zoners on screen, get rid of them and move Superboy into the JLA away from current relationships. Once JLA begins, if it begins, new stories, new relations, more than one superhero each week and not the same one each week.
