I'm guessing I will like this episode since it will have no Lois and very little Lana (and therefore Lexana). :) That's a good start.

I'm enjoying myself so far. It should be interesting to see how Martha deals with Clark lying to her. She looks like she's not too happy about the illegal immigrant hiding in their barn. I wonder if she's even thought about the fact that Clark is an illegal himself, and if the show will touch on that?

im not sure about this episode yet. it seems good but other parts seem to drag. ill have to wait till the end of the episode for my final vote.
jimmy and the whipped cream was funny.

It's definitely not action packed. Another calm but entertaining episode like Sneeze, IMO.

That was very close to pointless. Nothing but the usual filler (Lex is behind something and has to keep it secret) garbage.
And for being the ep after the "can't miss last 5 min ep" was horrible continued almost nothing from the last 1 (static).FILLER!!!

12-07-2006, 07:07 PM
wow, that episode was terrible, and very odd if you ask me.
lots of awkward moments of silence, where you think something is gonna happen but nothing does.
and once again, another anti climactic end fight scene. man they need new writers
this is definitely in the top 3 worst episodes of smallville.
the best part about this show was the previews for the next episode..
and Lois is definitely talking about the Green Arrow, not clark's secret..
nice teaser by the writers tho

The whole episode was OK, with some nice points:
1]Jimmy and the whipped cream......I didn't know he was THAT freaky! Maybe next time he'll bring chocolate syrup!
2]Clark reminding Martha of her legal subtrefuge over his adoption. That cut her attitude down real quick!
3]It seems to me that Lana's and Lex's ideas about power are on two different planets. I love the uncomfortable look Lex had when Lana shoved the paper in his face.
4]Clark showed his bias against Lex too graphically to Lana. I loved her pissed-off reaction.
And last but not least:
5]The previews of the January episodes. WAY TOO KEWL, AND THE SIGHT OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE WAS OFF THE FRAKKIN ' SHEEZY!!!!!!!:rotfl: :lol: :eek: :cool: :p :)

I thought this was a great episode. Finally a big chunk of Clark-time. So it wasnt action-packed... big deal. It really showed Clark maturing.
Too bad we can't rate the previews for the return, because those looked AMAZING!
Average. At least they didn't waste any money on special effects on this episode. Saving it for Justice it seems. :lol:

12-07-2006, 07:23 PM
Are the writer’s even trying anymore this season.
They have one dark Lex slow motion scene & they think it’s enough to carry the episode. It was just sad on all levels, writing, acting, concept, execution, Lexana, Clana.
Kara15
12-07-2006, 07:24 PM
I thought it was ok, but maybe that's just because the last new episode that aired was Static. :lol: :rolleyes:
At least there was a lot of Clark. The Lex scene at the end was also awesome.
Superman_08
12-07-2006, 07:29 PM
wow...
ive been a smallville fan since the beginning of time
a superman fan even longer... so I tend to find the good in even the crappiest episodes...
BUT THIS ONE FLAT OUT STUNK!
the storyline made very little sense... it just dragged out for a whole hour!
ther is too much proof as to why the structure of this episode was awfull... but ill stick with a few main points
1) haviers mother could have been his girlfriend. She looked like she was 18.
2) what the hell did he run away from chloe and jimmy for?
3) clark just LEFT mr underground farmer in the field - no calling of the cops or ANYTHING
4) what even happened underground that whole time?
ugh... i cant go on anymore - it just boils my blood
the acting was terrible, the plotline was terrible, and it was just the corniest thing ever...
the ONLY cool thing that happened in this episode was the playing of "miss murder directors cut" at the final scene, and lex's slow mo walk through the corridor of meteor freaks. that was the only good scene.
im done, this was just too frustrating lol
PS - clark is a regular **** disturber wen it comes to lex and lana eh?

12-07-2006, 07:30 PM
yeah it was good it wasnt great but it was good, and for those of always complaining about short fight scenes you have know idea how much money it takes to just have clark super run of use his x ray vision let alone him having a great epic battle every show my point is its a tv show not a movie, or for that matter a comic or cartoon, if want that stuff go to them
MidgardDragon
12-07-2006, 07:31 PM
That's a good point about budget. There was one thing that caught me early on. Instead of Clark just super-speeding or getting hit by a bullet in slow-motion like he always does, we actually saw him use X-Ray vision at least twice (maybe more) in this episode. That's the thing about Superman, he isn't all about the action and kicking butt at super-speed all the time. He has a lot of powers and it's fun to see some different ones showcased occassionally.

Nothing happened? Lex Luthor still has 33.1 up and running in another location and is clearly being a total d*ck to his "residents" treating them like prisoners. It's setting up the plot for Justice. How is that nothing?

12-07-2006, 07:38 PM
I actually liked this episode. I'd give it a 7.5. Great Clark moments. I guess they figured out who was the star of this show and gave him more screen time. It was a decent little story and gave us a look at Clarks core beliefs. Helping those who can't help themselves. Clark stood up for what was right and taught his mother a few things in the process. Chloe and Jimmy were cute and gave the episode a change of pace, which helped in not beating the obvious political issue over our heads. The Lex scene at the end totally rocked. The slow mo echoes back to Onyx an evil Lex is always good to see.

I gave the ep a 7 but really should be a 6.5. Kind of boring. Very little of the stupid beyootch Lana was wonderful. Clark calling her Lex's messenger was right on target. The scene with Lex walking in slo-mo was cool but he is getting a little chunky. Stop hitting the Kraft food table MR!

I thought it was pretty lame. The Chloe-Jimmy scenes were fun and interesting, but it's pretty bad when I am happy to see a Clana scene.
The whole storyline just didn't make a damn bit of sense. And the resolution was nothing. It took like 3 seconds, and we saw nothing. It was like Clark just snapped his fingers and "magic": problems solved. And, doesn't he have a cell phone? He could have at least tried to call the cops before he took off with the kid.
I think the best part about the whole episode was the extra-long trailer at the end.

12-07-2006, 08:35 PM
I think they could have done the episode without getting political with the immigration issue. I liked it back when this show stayed away from that kind of stuff and stuck to Clark being a hero. That was my main gripe. Besides that, it was OK. I loved the 33.1 ending.
I actually thought after watching the preview at the CW site that the field that Javier ran through & Clark made the comment about the bodies being buried in was actually going to be a graveyard of dead meteor freaks from 33.1. This actually gave me some disappointment, because a mass graveyard of dead 33.1 freaks would have been a freaking awesome storyline. It would have been a great setup had they done this with Clark learning about the bodies right before the war with the 33.1 freaks begins.

Dang, I loved this episode!! The end was amazing, and I really like that the end of Lexana is around the corner. I ALSO love that this episode actually featured CLARK, unlike the last one. I gave it a 9 because parts of it were kind of dull--Clark got rid of that meteor freak way too easily. :) Other than that, I LOVED it. To be honest, the preview made me like it even more! I can't wait for what's to come! That's what I'm talking about, Smallville...thank you for getting me excited again.

It was definitely a filler episode, but I liked it a lot because it is transitioning a lot of stuff. This is the type of episode that helps prevent lightswitching. Slight movements in a forward (not backward) direction. It also had a lot of good things going for it... Lots of Clark time. Everyone was in character. Lana was actually reasonable and kind. Lex is getting badder...they are only showing us bits and pieces of just how bad he is, but this episode (and the trailer) really makes me look forward to the second half of this season!!!!
BadToad
12-07-2006, 09:15 PM
I enjoyed this episode. It was far from the best, but there were a bunch of things I liked in it, most especially Clark being compassionate, getting involved with people outside of his inner circle, and just all around being cool. The stuff with him, Chloe and Jimmy was also pretty good. And FINALLY, we get some really evil Lex stuff. Its about time.
I certainly enjoyed this episode more then Static and Wither.
coasterprincess
12-07-2006, 09:26 PM
I think my biggest problem with this episode was the timing. I saw on another part of the site how this was originally going to come in earlier in the season...and I think that would have been better. Even though Static may not have been top 10 on my list of Smallville's finest...it was clearly set up to originally be the last episode between now and the spring run.
Still hate Lexana, and clearly it was a Wednesday because Lana brain was on vacation (have a theory that it only works on days that start with T) But props for the final bit with Lex and 33.1
Not horrible for a filler, but could have been placed better in the season. I give it a 7
SVfan26
12-07-2006, 09:26 PM
No offense to the writers, but this was a "stuck in the middle of a 7-ep run/'filler ep'".
Not a long hiatus-starting show.
Blah. Going just by this episode, I found absolutely nothing to look forward to when the show starts back up, except for the clips of future eps shown at the conclusion of the show & the spoilers provided by this site.

12-07-2006, 09:30 PM

I feel like a broken record, and I haven't even said anything yet. Didn't like the episode overall. Loved the scene with Martha and Clark after she saw Javier. He really called her card. The only other part I actually liked was the end. Kind of eerie and sinister. I like. Kudos to AFI for the song, and I'm not even a fan. The best part of the whole thing was the previews for the rest of the season. Definitely agree on that. I was so excited about the whole JLA thing despite the fact that I read all of the spoilers. I'm hoping next year will bring some better episodes.

I thought this was a good Clark-centric episode. Jimmy was adorkable and it's going to be interesting watching the Lexana unravel. Also, good to see that Level 33.1 will be part of the second half of the season. The only really bad thing was no Lionel.
The previews have me excited for what's to come.
Rose etta
12-07-2006, 10:42 PM
This was a sizzling example of the best that Lexana can be!
Wake up, Lana-haters! You know I'm one of you!
But, dude, she's got a strut now, all silky-sweet as she catches Lex with his pants down and we get to see him all sheepish.
And when Clark went off on his Jonathan-Whiney-Assed rant, he was told by a very mature Ms. Lang. Oh I'm loving this.
kcphil
12-07-2006, 10:57 PM
Jimmy was the only thing that saved this filler episode. It gave us nothing and didn't push any story lines. Clarks line about forging his adoption papers was lame. Also, for someone who's not welcome at Lex's, he sure seems to be able to get in ALL the time.
KryptoKnight
12-07-2006, 10:57 PM
This episode was very weak, approaching outright lame-ness. Yeah, it was filler, but filler should not be required to have poorly delivered lines just because the lines were written badly.
How can I get a job writing an episode?
Who was the tall good-looking guy in the episode? He seemed important.
Oh, Clark. Hey, Clark, where you been, pal? Nice to see you again. And actually using a superpower. More than once, even though we're not quite free of the superspeed-by-sound-effect shortcuts. And what's with the climactic battle consisting of throwing dirt on Welling?
It was an okay episode. The writing was too often flat and unsubtle, the direction was too leisurely, and the migrant workers were stereotyped to the point of ridiculousness, but I still found things to like about it. Like Clark being there and doing stuff. This is what Superman should be doing -- finding people in trouble and helping them. I also liked that they defined the moral conflict between obeying the law in the case of the migrants and aiding them at the human level, although it was too bad that the problem magically disappeared at the end as Martha decided to get them legal status. It was a nice moment when Clark called Martha on her obliviousness to how much the Kents had in common with the illegals in bending the rules to help their family.
And I'm surprised to say it, but Lexana actually kind of made sense this time out. Not that I buy them together, but Lex manipulating Lana with the plane, the fancy hotel, and the art museum access, all rang true. She laps it up because she wants to be the princess. This is more like what I expected to see from Lexana this season. Up until now, Lana has seemed to be corrupt all on her own, without any help from Lex. She pushed him to investigate the black box and rubber-stamped Level 33.1 in theory, and Lex didn't talk her into any of that. I would have expected more of the kind of interaction we saw in this episode before Lana really took the bait. It was also kind of amusing to see Lana take her lady-of-the-manor role to an extent that Lex didn't care for, by announcing she was going to help the downtrodden he'd helped get trod on. I was ready to scream when she showed up at the barn and started talking about lies again, but Clark made up for it by accurately calling her Lex's messenger and giving her that impatient look as she was leaving.
Chlimmy also came off much better in this episode than it has before. Jimmy wasn't too much of a dolt, nor was he a super-genius out of the blue, he was just a regular guy. His attentiveness to Chloe was nice, and explained why she would enjoy being around him. Best of all, none of those dopey smiles Chloe had been giving him, which made the relationship seem forced and treacly. But what's this "define boyfriend"? I realize this episode was pushed back, but Chloe is sure taking her time about making a commitment to the relationship. :lol:
There was also a nice Chlark scene towards the end, in which Clark expresses concern about his capacity to save the world. Okay, he's actually saved the world once this season already, but I liked the fact that it showed him thinking along these lines and really considering his responsibility to do that. And hey, Chloe got another article. :D

I hard core agree with you (RMF). It wasn't the best episode ever, but it was the best episode in a really really long time. It was sooooo nice to have a show that actually centered around clark, although, as cool as the ending was with Lex, when the end like that, they make the show about him- the person you end with is who the show is about, esp such a strong ending. And the non existent battle with the FTOW was lame. Other than that though, I was pretty happy with it. Clark was the centre of attn, for the most part, and lexana actually did make sense this time. The writers did well. And I really like tom welling when he acts with kids- he's really sweet with them. And I really like when they deal with Clark dealing with the fact that he isn't human. I dunno, I enjoy superhero angst stuff. Yup, I was satisfied with the show for the first time in quite a while.

Super Jimmy to the rescue!
I gave this episode a five. Jimmy and Martha were the two bright points in a pretty weak episode.
I enjoyed oogling Clark as always. The man is gorgeous. I loved the Chimmy but Chloe's issues with being called "girlfriend" got on my nerves.
Got to see Clark use one of his powers... though next to speed and strength it's the one most used... X-ray vision.
Illegal Immigrant flavored "Ryan" with a kid that couldn't act... though he was quite cute.
Meh. The trailer rocked!

The episode was alright. It didn't really bring much to the table, but it was certanly to see Clark again. After being absent for months, he finally returns. But overall, the episode was average. It's a real shame they gave Clark a lot of screen time when his side of the story isn't interesting. How come they couldn't give him this much screen time in Static when his storyline was the most interesting? Oh well, I know he'll be gone in the next episode. The one thing made me not give this episode an entirely low score is because it was Clark's return.
Welcome back, Clark :D ! 8/10
Now the episode 'Justice' is going to rock. Seeing Clark in the center walking with all the heroes was tight!

12-08-2006, 05:07 AM
I thought it was a pretty good episode.
There was a lot of "Chlark" moments. I found it very interesting that Chloe wouldn't call Jimmy her boyfriend. It makes sense with the AA spoilers that something may happen to Chimmy. Also, the odd moments with Jimmy/Clark/Chloe seemed interesting.
Jimmy was great in this episode. I loved the ending with, "I"m your bro not your foe." I instantly thought of Pete. haha.
I liked the bitterness between Clark and Lex.
I really didn't think the episode was one of the worst. It's B plot didn't overpower the situations that we really wanted to hear about.
And as for the coming weeks, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! The trailers looked awesome.

For a filler episode, I thought it was one of the better ones. The Chlimmy scenes were humorous, and fun to watch. On the contrare, the Clex scene was annoying b/c it's deja vu everytime. I mean it's Clark coming in and saying Lex did something bad, blah, blah... too monotonous. The Lexana scenes were alright I suppose... no answer just yet. The fotw is back again, really getting tired of too many freaks... the Writers should limit them. But overall, I liked the epi, a nice drift away from main plots, a cool reference to our politics today.

Even though it was a filler episode, I thought it was good. Not every episode has to advance the other stories or arcs brought up in the season. I like that Clark was pro-active in helping reunite the family. I loved the Lex/Clark scene and the Lex scene at the end. I even believed Lexana for a minute. I gave it a nine.
chlarkfan333
12-08-2006, 08:06 AM
I liked this episode a lot and it had wasn't just b/c there was no Lois. :lol:
Things I liked -
-Clark getting more screentime and saving the day with minimal oustide help.
-Lexana. Yup, you read that right! I liked Lexana in this episode and if they keep writing it this way, I would love to see it develop. Lana shows a side of her we rarely get to see when she's with anyone else.
-The Clex scene was awesome. I love the condescending humour in Lex's lines.
-Finally we get a glimpse where Chloe stands on Chlimmy.
-A not-so-subtle hint that there's is no Chlark on the horizon. I don't agree with others that this was a set-up for Chlark.
-I liked Clark and Martha's scenes. For once, they rang true and didn't seem forced or too preachy.
-Level 33.1 scene at the end. Bring it on!
Things I didn't like -
-The immigration issue. It was oversimplified, IMO.
-Clana. Why am I not surprised that Lana raised the 'secret' topic once again.:rolleyes:

I like most episodes without lois as I don't have to endure her so-called 'wit', however, this episode was a complete waste of time. Terrible casting of the kid as a Mexican illegal alien, he language skills don't match those illegals wandering around my area.
Clark is not an illegal alien, he was the equivalent of a plane crash survivor. On his part there was no willing forthought or intent to break the laws of the United States and come here illegally. (the adoption,however, is a different matter)

The only good thing about the episode is that is is over with by the way the polls it was not liked by all but it could've been better.I thought they were through with the metorite freak stories :mad:
I hope this is one episode is deleteed fron the season 6 dvd they could add any other extras except this one :confused:

I gotta say, based on conjecture and the official description premise, I figured this episode was filler crap at best.
Although, outside of Static, it still was the weakest episode of the year, there were quite a few good things about it and it wasn't nearly as horrendous as it sounded. Aside from throwing up in my mouth alittle for the 10 mins they decided it necessary to highlight Lexana's disgusting, pathetic, unrealistic "appeal", they did enough right with a weak overall story to make it decent.
STRONG Clarkcentric superesque performance by Tom was yet ANOTHER save by the boy of steel! Plus the Chloe-Jimmy stuff was a cute compliment.
Far and AWAY the best thing about this episode though, was the PREVIEWS for upcoming episodes (including Justice!!) the JLA!!! Hints at alittle Clois!! The marvelously long awaited final death of Lexana ( and it's subsequent semi Clana!! )!! MM's return!! Lex's evil 33.1 scheme revealed!! etc
I was practically giddy!
Redemption and a great finish to S6, could be back in our sights if they do this right......:)

I liked this episode. It is a sleeper episode but I really liked it. Sometimes I worry when TV shows start to mirror the political agendas of our times but then again certain shows pull it off. This one does. I really loved it when the cop says "they should enter the right way like my family did" but then Clark using his moral judgment instead of going with the law stands up for the kids.
This show also showed Clark's growing independence away from his mom and making decisions that won't always be popular to others but necessary for Clark to make. This episode also begins to show a more sinister Lex with his involvement with the farm and the farmer (I am not good at names right now). The trailer at the end for the remainder of the season was cool too and to see the JLA preview was awesome!
Not the best episode but better than "Static". Jimmy was hilarious once again showing you should not stereotype people based on their ethnicity.

I think Clark sympathize with Javier not because Clark feels he is illegal, but that Clark is from another place like Javier and is displaced. What a stereotype there!! Just because certain "illegal immigrants" in "your area" don't speak English well doesn't mean that there aren't others who know English well.
I REALLY liked this one. I can't really put my finger on it, but it just reminded me of something that would have been on the first 3 episodes. There wasn't too much relationship drama. It was about a problem that was (for the most part) solved in the episode. You really didn't need to know what happened in the previous 3 or so episodes to enjoy watching it.

After 5 seasons without a boyfriend, Chloe is going to have to learn to say the word boyfriend phonetically.

I saw this episode as average filler. Nothing new happened. The best part was the extended trailer at the end. Now SV needs to hype the new Justice episode like it did Reckoning last year.

It was good for a filler episode, the Kryptovillain was rather ummm.. lame, DirtMan? Moleguy? DiggerDude?
The guest star did not come off as believable, his voice and appearance looked nothing authentic nor Hispanic/Mexican.
Lived in the USA for a couple of months and spoke flawless english by watching lots of American TV? Suuure.
The other workers pulled the image of illegal migrant workers off very well though. Like it is rare in Kansas? Not.
Martha was believable at first, then caved in, she needs to be impeached.
Lex was very good, Lana was..OK. (And Lana didn't lose consenceness once this episode.)
I was VERY impressed that Clark did not just stroll in but was escorted by Security into the Luthor Lair.
The walk through Level 33.1 was great, the hands sticking hrough the bars could have been better, maybe a tentacle or a deformed one or two would have been visually more impressive though.
My biggest dissapointment was no MB! :(

Martha was believable at first, then caved in, she needs to be impeached.
Changing your mind is not grounds for impeachment. Nor is it "flip-flopping" as is the common argument (not the one you're making, I acknowledge.) It's the common result of rethinking things or having your eyes opened to something you didn't consider (like, say, that you're harboring an illegal alien already). Martha changing her mind based on thinking the situation through is great, and I wish more politicians were like that. If George W. Bush changed his mind based on the facts and thinking the situation through, well, I won't get too political, but the world might be better off today.

Worst episode ever! Cheezy tremors rip off villian they didn't even exploit for any real fear, foaming at the lips evilly killing workers for the hell of it - how does a fishing partner of Johnathon Kent devolve that far? Does kryptonite really make every character evil? Haven't their been any good kryptonite fueled characters? And the "mexican" kid sure didn't have much of an accent, did he? "Watched a lot of television?" He didn't look like a couch potato. His acting made me sad. And Clark . . . Tom Welling is usually pretty spot on, but his longing look into the difference shot works three, four times in an hour, tops. Interesting to see Lana continue down the path to the dark side, although I'm similarly growing tired of dwelling on Lana/Lex's tortured soul searching look, emoting for all their worth. This episode is the first Smallville episode (& I've seen them all) to embarrass me as a viewer.

All about Clark
12-08-2006, 10:45 PM
I rated 7. It was a relief to finally have a Clark episode. I also like how he handled everything including his mom.
Lana getting darker and can't see the forest through the trees, so horribly blind. I like that Clark did give her a zinger. How I wish Clark would just tell her that Lex is just a better liar than he is.
Lex manipulated Lana by telling her to go so she'll miss him. Toying with her that he shouldn't have asked to marry yet that she makes him lose control. Hah!
Chloe not really being as in to the relationship as Jimmy is and Jimmy feeling threatened by Clark, very humerous. Boy is he a dork.
Clark taunting the freak to come after him.
The only scene that felt out of place for me was Clark not being satisfied and feeling like he can't solve the world's problems. It felt forced and like he really isn't there yet.

12-08-2006, 11:05 PM
Man you hard core SV fans are hard to please. OK this wasn't a top 10 episode but for some to rate it in the "worst ever" category is harsh in the extreme.
It had protective Clark at his best (and heaps of air time, as we all want), Lex getting more evil (and lying to Lana) + the 33.1 walk, Clark setting Lana up for the biggest "oh God Clark, you were right all along about Lex, I wish I had've listened and not treated you so bad" apology, plenty of sidekick action from Chimmy, a nasty FoTW that wasn't a Zoner, some excellent Son/Mom moments between Clark and Martha, and some geeky bowtie humour and awkwardness from Jimmy as he moves to the JO we all know and love. I gave it a 9.

i thought the Episode was great, i really did enjoy it, it was great to see Clark helping that Kid out, and it was also great to see Clark telling The truth about Lex to Lana, i really did enjoy that scene, and i also enjoy seeing the scene where Lex is at 33.1, it was great to see that again, and i also can,t wait to see the next new Episode it is going to be great, this is the best Season yet.

This was classic. Classic Smallville. The episode made me say "There is still hope for this season". No matter the ratings, I'll give my opinion why this episode was so cool:
1. Farms, corn fields, barns, the blue truck...Smallville!! Those icons make the episode look like it went back to it's roots.
2. A good "Wall of Weird" mistery that gets you guessing until the end.
3. A kryptonite freak! That is so season 1. I think is was a good freak story.
4. Clark using x-ray and super speed in the same episode. The last episodes he was only using super speed, and he looked like he was forgeting how and when to use his powers.
5. Clark feels like he's the hero of the series, and not some stupid, dumb side kick.
6. Martha is starting to realize that she is not supposed to be senator. Quit already!
7. Lex vs. Clark conversation! It rocked.
8. Clark vs. Lana conversation at the barn. Classic.
9. No Green Freaking Arrow.
10. No Lois Freaking Lane.
11. No Lionel hitting on Martha.
12. The mention on Jonathan Kent.
13. The MUSIC AT THE END!!! That was the best closing scene I've seen in Smallville in ages.
couldn't agree with you more
i loved it and i don't know why many people didn't like it Oo

I absolutely loved this episode! The last two episodes disappointed me a little bit. I just have to disagree with you on
6- I think Martha was becoming more and more like a politican and less like Martha Kent. Clark help her realized that.
9- I love the Green Arrow (of course nothing can replace the man of steel)
and 10- Lois has grown on me and I enjoy watching her on Smallville

I like the Green Arrow...a bit. What I hate is him getting too much attention...and the producers making Clark look like an ass in the same episode. But yeah Green Arrow is cool. And I can't wait for the Justice League episode. Just watched the trailer on...you know, that CW site...(forgive me if I'm not supposed to advertise a site), however, Green Arrow says that the League is "his" team. He says "Don't worry Clark my team is on it". Didn't the Martian Manhunter create the Justice League? Or wasn't it Superman?

The scene at the end is GREAT! The music, too. It made a great end to the episode.
There were a few things that really struck me as out of place. First was Javier: as others have said, it's strange that he speaks English so well. It could happen, but it seemed unusual.
Then when Jimmy brought the whipped cream, but Chloe wouldn't call him her boyfriend. That seemed contradictory. I thought it was great, though, when Chloe said, "Define 'boyfriend'", and then Clark appears.
I also thought it was strange that Clark wrote down what the farm worker told him in Spanish. Since it was something he heard, wouldn't he have tried to speak it rather than adding a level of confusion by trying to convert it into writing?
Did I hear Lex say he wishes he hadn't proposed? I get what he was trying to say - that someone in his position shouldn't be rushing into a marriage. But I don't think he would have said it that way.
Overall, a great FOTW episode, with a great ending.

I thought the show was O.K. I voted 8.
It is always nice to see an episode that is centered around Clark. TW does a really good job with strory lines about Clark helping teens. It wasn't so long age that CK was a struggling teen himself.
It would have been great to see the underground fight but I'm sure the budget wouldn't allow it.
I thought the Clark - Martha scenes were well done and I enjoyed Martha thinking like a politician for a while and then realizing that Clark is more important.
I also enjoyed the Clana scene and I like it when there is tention between them. Lex's "cell walk" was a little ho hum but the music was great.
My only real criticism is the Smallville timeline. This episode seems to belong before the Thanksgiving one which aired a month ago. The workers are harvesting afterall. Frankly all the episodes of this season seen to be floating in space. There is not much of a build up of events. Big things happen then are dropped. I'm sure that they will resurface but it is hard (for me) to stay interested.
I realize that this is nit-picking but for me a large part of my supention of disbelief with Smallville is a realistic flow of events. Events that happen to be a bit supernatural.
Voted 9
Likes:
- Clark
- Jimmy and Clark
- Clark standing up to Lex
- Clark giving Lana something to think about
- Clark/Tom with younger actors=squee!
- Lex actually being and looking like something of a badass instead of a L-whipped p*ssy for most of the episode
- did I mention Clark?
Dislikes:
- some of the editing was annoying and made the pacing seem slow, particularly when they would hold the camera on an actor for what felt like forever in a reaction shot
- some of the music had me going WTF, particularly during that first Lexana scene
- why did you have to say the 'L' word in your confrontation with Lex, Clark? (but at least the conversation wasn't some pissing contest over Lana this time)
- not necessarily something I hated, but I thought it was a little too convenient that Martha was going to help Javier and his mom attain legal status... especially based on him being extraordinary (based on what, I don't know).
Funny (as in wtf) stuff:
- why the hell did Clark and Javier just walk away from unconscious Moleman in the field?
- Clark couldn't understand Spanish when spoken, but he could accurately write down part of what the farmer said for Javier to translate later on... hmmm
- you're safe with people who are trying to help you out and reunite you with your mother... so instead of staying put, why not just run away and risk getting caught by the authories and sent back to Mexico, just for the hell of it? Say what!?
Funny (as in ha ha) stuff:
- Javier's 'American' accent vs. his mother's obviously fake, over the top Mexican one
- Jimmy/Chloe/Clark scene at the DP... "ring that bell... there it is"
- Lex's subtle "are you on crack" look when Lana mentioned the good they could do with his money
Not the most entertaining or well-written episode, but still worth it for all the Clark goodness - maturity, confidence, gaining a backbone, fighting for what he believes is right, etc.

This episode was not great but it was not really bad either. It was just the usual filler. The ending with Lex in level 33.1 was cool though.

xrayvision
12-10-2006, 10:23 PM
It reminded me a bit of Stray, but certain things are a lot different (namely Lexana, Lex hating Clark & vice versa, Chloe having a boyfriend, Martha scolding Clark which never really happened until Unsafe or Obsession, and Level 33.1).
But it was definitely not a bad episode. Not even close to the worst. The worst ones IMO were Wither, Ageless, Reckoning (because of how badly it messed up the show), Recruit, Spell, Krypto, Facade, Gone, Lucy, Drone, Fragile, and a few others.

The people who came out of the gate calling this the worst episode ever are suffering from an acute form of ComicBookGuy Disease. This was HARDLY the worst ever. It wasn't even the worst THIS SEASON. xrayvision listed many episodes worse than this one.
Hello? "Ageless"? "Spell"? Yes, even "Wither" and "Static" were worse than this one.
And really, i agree with the poster above. The final scene was probably the best scene all season, outside of "Kneel before Zod."

Ultra dodgy episode, only saved by the fact that Clark kicked the FotW's butt quickly. No messing, no stalling, just thwunk! 'AD 'IM!
What i mean is, it's now apparent how much stronger and faster Clark's become, he is in training after all. Next step...... let's have an episode where he pushes his powers, tries to find out how fast he can go.

I wish the story fit in with whats been going on, i am so looking forward to his training that he is suppose to start...but Clark is yet to go to the Fortress of Solitude. I like it when the story flows. But it was a goof filler episode and i didnt mind Clark not using his powers as much.

This episode seemed to almost get back to basics. Clark centered, a barn scene with Lana, the FOTW, Martha realizing she has a family and not just a senate seat. Was it hoaky in parts? Sure. Jimmy's line, I'm your bro, not your foe, busted me up. Take away that opening 5 minute Lexana scene and you would have had a perfectly enjoyable episode. It was refreshingly simple. Worst episode of the season? Not by a long shot. Wither still holds that honor...and of all time... Still has got to be Wither. I'd sit through Ageless a hundred times than that crappy episode.

i loved this episode. i thought it was a 10.
1. it cemented clark and lana apart and in my eyes that leaves alot of room for clark and lois.
2. it was a superman saves the day
(in classic fashion)
3. showed chemistry between chloe & jimmy
4. it showed lanas blindness even more.
5. i just thought was a very well done episode, it had a story line.
6. the last scene was absolutely breath taking......... lex walking in saying put him with the others then that prideful arrogant strut... the music was fitting ...gave me shivers....
(it has begun) the transformation...

But overall it wasnt one of the best episodes...but roll on Justice!!! :D

I think that this has been a very disappointing season so far for Smallville. We have had nine episodes and each one is worse than the last. I am a big fan of Tom Welling but the directors and/or writers are making him look like a "short-bus" version of Clark Kent. Maybe the problem is that Tom is 29 years old and is playing a young-man 2 years out of high school. I hope that is not the problem. The real trouble with Clark in Smallville is that even though he has all of these amazing gifts I can't believe that he will ever be the worlds's greatest hero. But I think the biggest problem this show has is predictability. If anyone reads this and does not agree that you will be able to predict the entire episode by the time the opening credits start, maybe you belong on the short bus with Clark. The bottom line is that this show needs help. Zod and Fallout were both good episodes but you are not left with a feeling of anticipation for next thursday. I love the idea be hind Smallville but it is time to step it up.
Oh and BTW. where is the action? Clark grabs the mexican immigrant with an american accent and speeds away and he throws the farmer but all we see is the farmer fly out of the hole. Less action and a poor plot and script, what gives??
KryptoKnight
12-15-2006, 09:52 PM
While the numbers in the poll indicate most people who voted gave it a 5 or better, there is another guage for measuring the success of this episode - there are fewer people talking about this episode than others prior to Subterranean. At this writing, 2 weeks+ after the airing, only 2514 posts. Second least discussed is Fallout, another weak episode.

Funny, Fallout has been touted by many fans as one of the best episodes of Season 6. I think the fact that the episodes is being discussed less on these forums can be explained by the fact that the episodes that people hate generally get bashed and criticized and picked apart far more than the episodes people actually enjoy. (In other words, people like to complain on these forums.)

lol interesting point, intelligently put.
I thought it was an average filler episode. Too much cheese to be honest. Some predictable and cliched dialogue.
And if you had a secret department called 33.1 would you put a nicely designed sign on the door saying 33.1? lol.

does it make much sense to even call it 33.1 anymore, since its no longer stationed around the 33rd floor of the LuthorCorp plaza

I'm sure the name was adopted for the super-secret LuthorCorp documents and just carried over to make the non-existant paperwork easier. :P But seriously, once something like that has a name, it'll usually stick with it even when it doesn't make much sense.

lol, very true but same thing in life. Do you think someone is more likely to report a nice sales clerk or a bad one?
This episode was honestly an improvement, but just an improvement on the way Clark is portrayed. The overall structure of the episode was very very very very repetitive. I mean seriously another FOTW??? This isn't season 1 anymore, I thought the show would have developed passed this story filler. And the Zoners aren't any better either.

Overall, I thought the episode was good. I thought it was especially good because of the tight budget they were on. I don't see why Zod was so expensive. Considering their budget for the first half was eaten up mostly by Zod, I thought this episode was good. The last 30 seconds was the best part of the episdoe, but the trailer after the episode was better than the whole episode...

I thought the farmers ability to burrow under ground was pretty sweet, but I too was a bit disapointed in the short fight between him and Clark. Overall I rated this episode an 8. The main reason I went as high as I did on the rating was because of all the info I felt I gained. As far as the relationship between each individual, and it put me on the edge of my seat.. I want to see more..Don't let me down!!

The epsiode was good, but it had more potenial. I've noticed that enemies in the new episodes all have the same thing happen to them. They all get killed off very quickly, one battle and they are dead within a minute. If you watch the previous seasons it could take the entire epiosde to nail them. The farmer had a erie ability, burrying bodies in your backyard isnt exacally what I would call a defining attibute you want.
did not like the immigrant story too much, the rest of it was fine.....gave it a 6.

I really liked this episode.
The sunny day,
the farms,
the simple yet entertaining story.
Ite felt like the old "sunny fall day in a small town" smallville that I used to love and wish they would bring back
not they rey, depressing, taking place all at night smallville that exists now.

I can't believe they are going to play this again the week before the premiere. They have skipped over Justice and Noir.
why is the last post in Feb showing up today?

I loved this episode. Tom Welling always has good chemistry with kids.
Also like the Chlimmy and what Jimmy was planning with the bottle of cream for desert he he he ;-)
The funniest thing that made me laugh out loud was Clark turning up at the mansion to confront Lex and Lex saying
'....and what exactly am I supposed to have done this time, have I swotted a fly with too much force?'
ha ha ha ha ohhh too funny :rotfl:
There are some brilliant one liners in this episode.

What did this episode have anything to do with Smallville and Clark Kent?
I found it to be such a boring episode. Was there a link or hiden meaning between Clark kent and the Mexican boy? They are both illegal aliens in the U.S.?
I mean Clark never legally applied for his residency to live in the U.S.
I mean, really the Kents bought illegal documents through Lionel Luthor so Clark could live in Kansas. I'm surprised Immigration didnt do anything about this illegal activity that Lionel did for the Kents.
:D

Well Lionel arranged it so the Kents could adopt Clark as a US orphan so immigration wouldn't really come into it.
Now if his birth parents on the adoption form were listed as from Krypton maybe........ :p

I enjoyed this episode. I thought it was alright. :)
I liked the ending in the Daily Planet when Clark and Chloe are talking and Jimmy comes over and says to Clark about how he wants to be a "bro" and not a "foe" i was laughing so much, and he was like "do you play hoops" *clark goes to answer* "Great, so we'll leave it on the court" ahah was so funny, and i think Allison Mack might have actually wanted to burst out laughing the way she said "Dont even ask any follow up questions!" Dont know if they are the exact words but something like that ;)
I also liked the end bit, where they are playing AFI "Prelude" and you see Lex walking down the hall in slow motion and all the Krypto Freak's arms are like trying to grab him and then he goes through the door and then it says "33.1" on the door. That was so well shot! I really liked that.

I disagree with those disappointed by the episode. That's a filler freak of the week story, BUT, I love its atmosphere, very relaxing, and gloomy at the same time. And Lex's cliffhanger is amazing!

Interesting how there was not strong pull in any direction on the favoring of this episode. I did not particularly like the kids acting myself. Tom was fabu as always.

This episode is terrible.The only bad episode this season.Disliked the plot,the FOTW was stupid and this was basicly a gap between Static and Hydro because of the lex and lana

I didn't actually mind this episode; it showed Clark helping someone - the 'little man' so to speak instead of battling Phantoms and getting overshadowed by Green Arrow. I didn't think the FOTW was particularly bad nor was the plotline. It was a nice change from the usual sort of plots we got what with a focus on illegal immigrant workers and a deranged farmer. I just didn't like it at the end when Clark said "I can't save everyone". Right.

For a filler episode, I thought it wasn't half bad. One of the weaker episodes of the season, but still decent. I loved the ending.

After a year-and-a-half of owning Season 6, I finally got around to watch the episode. I went into it thinking of how bad it was going to be (after reading reviews here, Twitter, etc.), and I absolutely loved it.
It was a feel-good episode, while adding in that extra flavor of sci-fi. But, more than anything, it made me miss Jimmy. His awkward scenes with Clark made me laugh out loud.
9/10
