anyone else disappointed?

[miks]

I was actually expecting a lot more from this episode. The fight scene was completely wack, he beat him way too fast! And the episode in general itself was lacking in the excitement area for me...anyone else feel the same?

[Ilovebeinglost]

I loved it

[Deana]

It was exciting, but the fight was a major let down.

What were the writers thinking? That we will be content with the Titan and Clark brawl until the finale?

I wanted action. They didn't even let Lois kick butt this episode.

[miks]

true, I know lois can really kick some a$$, but she was kinda up against some pretty heavy fellas, the body guards were huge, and of course Wes, well even Clark had trouble with him! So I kind of see why she didn't fight

[Deana]

^^I did not expect her to win, but the Lois we have been presented with would have still threw a punch or two. lol

[freefall]

I'll take real character developments over SFX and superpowered fights any day.

[miks]

that's true, i think she was too focused on saving wes, she looked like she really had something with him, i mean if it was just a fling i don't think she would've tried so hard to bring him back or really look like she was completely hurt over him dying...

[Doug]

I like the way the directors are letting Clark use more of his powers to defeat the bad. He is superman and he does have a ton of powers, not all strength and speed..........The heat vision special effect was the best ever.

[Ireallylikethisshow]

It wasn't as awesome as "Justice" or... "Zod" but it was a hardy ep. It had Lois in it, and fun Lois-Clark-Martha jokes (maybe 1 or 2)

And, uh, that's something...

Nothing's wrong with that. :D But this is Smallville, remember? It's REALLY, really hard to get both. Usually it's more about pretty shots, stunning visuals and cinematography or cool SFX, but nothing substantial about character growth.

Like Promise, the only thing that I love about it is the effect of seeing Clark superspeeding away from someone else's perception, and the whole different POV's thing going on in the episode.

[Joe Bob]

I've been disappointed all year, yet I keep watching. This show makes me want to cut out my eyes with my own hand.

[SeaNymph]

I liked it. The fight scene at the end was WAY too short. Still, it was pretty good overall.

[falcon64z8]

Yea I was expecting more of the fight scene, it def went over quickly. It would have been awesome if Clark had called on the Justice team again and speaking of Justice, when are they going to have their own show already?

[nothingwithoutchloe]

For me at least this episode was amazing compared to last weeks

[miks]

yeah last weeks was pretty pointless but at the same time it was jimmy's last day for a little while so i guess it's okay for him to be the center of attention, but only that one time!

And I don't know about the justice team, but I would really love to see more of them already! I really loved Justice, esp. the really cheesy last scene where they are all walking away from the bomb going off! Yeah it was cliche, but it was sooo frikkin sweet!! :)

[trying2b]

I've been a fan since the beginning but they need to get a clue from Heroes and last night's Lost. Now both of those shows are really kicking ass.

[CLanaF23]

i thought it was good........... sooo

[TheRowdy]

I can't help but admit that I was slightly disappointed. I haven't seen a good episode since "Freak." :(

Hopefully next week will be a blowout. It better be, its the finale afterall.

[miks]

I think next week will be great, but it also depends on who is dying or not dying or whatever! And also if Chloe's powers are totally lame or not, but even if they are lame i still think allison will make them look not as lame

[alienkinfolk]

I thought this ep was blah. Aries did not live up to the hype.

I loved the episode, but I agree that the action was lacking. This season, though, I've come to expect that. And I was just excited to see heat vision being used (finally!) so I was okay with no huge fight leading up to it.

I was surprised, though, that Lois just threatened to fight the bodyguards, instead of just doing it. Maybe she would have gotten around to it if Wes hadn't shown up.

Overall, though, there was so much character development and great dialogue between all the cast members (and just the fact that they were all there) that I don't care if the fight was short. I'm cool with it.

I swear if Chloe dies next week, and I mean dies for good, I will turn against Smallville for killing off an awesome character.

Sorry to bring up last weeks episode up again, but TPTB did a bad job of giving Jimmy a farewell. It just seemed to me like Lois did a better job of putting the pieces together than Jimmy did.

To bring the current episode up again, I was dissapointed with the lack of fighting in this episode. There needs to be some good Clark fighting scenes next week. I've wanted a Bizarro-Clark fight for the longest time and not something that ends in two minutes, I need a long fight, at least a 1/3 of the episode. Considering everything that needs to be resolved in Phantom I don't see that kind of fight happening so TPTB better give us something else that would be as good

[miks]

agreed on the jimmy part

And they might give a good fight scene, if lana is the one in the car and really dies (*crosses fingers*) and Clark isn't there to help her, and if chloe and lois are in the middle of there big death stuff and he can't help them then I think it's because he's fighting bizarro-clark

[svtwamedfan05]

I liked it.

[Daspoo]

Yep, pretty much sucked, but exactly what I expected. All the hype everyone created over "the prototype" led to nothing. One guy, one really sorry fight - and he was defeated by heat vision after hearing from Chloe that it took a "mini-nuke" to kill the one the Justice noobs encountered at a 33.1 site. Weak. And what do we have to show for it? A room full of bodies "waiting" for the chemical milkshake to make them future super-soldiers. *yawn*

Sorry for my disgust, but it's so irritating for so much plot development to end as fast as a 1-hour episode. The SV writers/Al are notorious for this...:\

[tobificus]

I'm more disappointed that this entire season has seemed pretty aimless since Oliver Queen left town. What's the point of year 6? Is this a tribute to Buffy's lackluster season 6?

[Poetic Chaos]

The horrible Wes/Lois scenes ruined it for me. Plus I kept on waiting for Clark to use his Thermal Vision to spot Wes when he was invisible and it just never happened.

[Runestone]

Is it just me or was everyone OOC?

-Clark basically killed someone and didn't even care; he showed absolutely no remorse after the fact.
-Lois wasn't acting like her usual agressive self (I'm not talking about the fact that she was upset about Wes' death; anyone would be)... I don't know, there was just something really different.
-Lana - well, judging from Nemesis and Noir, I thought she had changed somewhat and taken more control. It really made me mad how she was like "I'm so sorry Lex, I'll never meddle again!"
-Chloe didn't even seem very interested in Lois' story; she just ran a couple backround checks and stayed out of it. Normally she would have been right there. Her friendship with Clark seemed really strained as well. It has in the last couple episodes; I hope they're not doing this on purpose.

Only Lex, Lionel, and Martha were acting normal, IMO. I don't like when characters act OOC, so I hated this episode.

[meggy]

^ i actually do think they are doing that on purpose. I also found it strange that Chloe no longer seems passionate about the 33.1/Luthor story....i can imagine a few things are going on...but i'll give tptb the benefit of the doubt and wait for season 7 to see what is up

Well, if she was interested in Lois' story then everybody would complain that she's backstabbing her cousin, or people would complain about the Chlo-Lo competition. I think it was better that way.

Still, this season is an OOC fiesta.
Horrible, really.

[meggy]

yeah...OOC for everyone:\

[HotStudsSuccess]

I wasn't disappointed in the episode I love it.

[Ultron]

I was really impressed with much of the show, but I thought the whole episode was leading to a grand fight between Clark and Wes.

And then Clark basically whipped him in about 40 seconds. And actually it was after being punched once. He spots Wes and defeats him in a hot blink of an eye.

Just too quick for my tastes.

[ManofSteelftw]

i thought it was great, i understand what you guys are saying about the fight being too short but they only have 40 minutes to work with they gotta get their story/ character development across

[ash146]

not sure about OOC. clark was remorseful. the camera was on him and he had a sorrow type look when he was seeing lois care for a dying wes.

as for lana apologizing, well its the whole "keep your friends close, enemies closer". she needs more out of him what better way of sucking up then to apologize?

clois did seem disinterested but more like neutral. since the episode her mom, she has practically stayed away from all affairs lana-lex. basically letting Clark do his own work.

[Joelito]

For me it was okay, I mean..is the epi before the final d@m it :)

:( I felt the same. This epi didn't ring true to the story we have so far. It wasn't a good epi in the sense of timing and story development either. The resolution of WES's threat was over TOO Quick!!

:(

[kryptonaidxh]

:) :rolleyes: Well, it was almost perfect , actually the only thing that suked was Lana´s prescence and the psychotic obsession of Clark for being his nanny again..:rolleyes: I don´t knoe why she appeared in the episode, she was completely unecessary.
But well the best was Lois, Clark just a little, Chloe, Martha and Lionel very well too:)

Maybe, just MAYBE, TPTB came across the across the acronym "BDA". Big Dumb Alien. Everyone was complaining about how stupid/dumb Clark Kent is. MAYBE TPTB are trying to change that this year. Clark got smart and defeated Zod and Bearon with the crystal. He was pissed off and was looking for a fight (not using his brain), so he faught Titan. He's calmed back down, so now he's using his head again. He defeats Wes Keenan quickly. People flip so much. They want the BDA to smarten up and when he does, they complain that he ended the fight quickly. Sorry people, it's either or.


Also, I don't think Clark was trying to kill Wes. I think he was trying to use his heat vision to disable the force field and was going knock him out/restrain him once the force field was down.

[miks]

agreed. I dont think he was trying to kill him, but at the same time, clark kent just killed someone, yeah he was trying to kill you, but just a brief 10 second look of sadness and he's fine again, imo the clark kent we all know and love would feel horrible the he actually killed someone, accident or not

[The Ship!]

It sucked!! The premise was bogus!

I mean how is it that LEx was able to hold and control a ZONER?????????????? Come on that is too much to take right now...

Crap crap crap

[jimmyolsenblues]

what does OOC mean?
Sorry I am old.

terrible. This episode just reminds me again why I should stop watching this show.

Uhm, part of Titan was in the mix used to make Wes the prototype so, technically, he's part zoner.

I have to totally agree...just wasn't what I expected since is the second to last episode of the season.

[Derrickray]

This episode was pretty bland. Nothing much really happened. There was no hype leading into the finale and thats bad.

This has been one of the more disappointing seasons so far. There is no overall theme to it. Initially, it seemed like it would be about clark trying to find the zoners but it strayed away from there. Then there's the love triangle but that's not interesting enough at this point.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't feel any hype going into the finale.

[Nerial]

^^No hype for me, either. I think I would have felt something if this "Clark vs. Wes", and "Clark killing Wes", anti-climatic crap-spot had been handled differently.

Honestly, I liked most of the episode, but that one scene just ruined it for me.

This is exactly why I don't get hyped for the episodes, especially ones deemed, "big ones," because they are almost always anti-climatic, and Clark does something questionable. Practically every time. It gets old.

[redraven]

It was an alright episode; it wasn't exciting and it sure didn't keep me on the edge of my seat while watching it, but it was a big step-up from last week, imo.

[Fly by guy]

If this eppy was supposed to build momentum for the finale, the "mo" in on a slow ride out of town. Nothing about the story would bring you back next week. It was a good Lois episode, but nothing we haven't seen from everyone before.

[niki]

See, I thought it was great but then again I thought this was the THIRD last episode, not the second last episode. I still find it a really good episode, but a weak prelude to the finale.

And I've got a few comments:
-- Clark did look remorseful, and he did say "I'm sorry" to Lois at the end and looked like it meant it. I don't think he's beating himself up about it more because Wes pretty much chose to die in the end by refusing any help ... or at least, that's what I think.
-- Lana's really good at switching back and forth. She apologizes for meddling, but I think it's because she wants to continue "protecting" Clark and keeping an eye out on Lex.
-- What is Lionel up to? I got so excited to see him still going with the symbols at the beginning of the episode, then we get a confrontation by Clark, and then towards the end he suggests Martha become senator ... he's quite a tricky character, so I'm hoping they show that more in the finale!
-- Chloe has seemed a bit icy, but then again she does have reason to. Her loverboy just left, Clark's still trying to juice her from what she knows but she knows that Lana's just trying to protect him and she's probably sick of that anyways, and having to deal with both those things means less involvement in trying to help Lois, but I do still think she was doing a good job at it.
-- Lex. Geez. Heartless man. "Bring in some fresh guards, I want to do another test run." He has no value for human life. Those who say Lex's line of "If you betrayed me, I don't know what I'd do" sounded sappy, I didn't. It sounded more like a threat to me. He's fed up with Lana never being in the 'mood', even lighting candles, because he's selfish and wants to get his groove on. Evil evil Lex, hahaaa.
-- We've learned that Project Ares is still continuing, they DID mention that crazy creature zoner so hopefully they'll continue that. But the trailer for the finale looks ... I don't know. All Lex-Lana-Clark-ish ... I really hope the entire thing won't be like that!

But yuppers, I still thought it was a good episode ... it's the finale I'm worried about hah.

So true.... I think Lana will end up betraying him and the consequences will be sour for her..... Lex should slaughter her...

I sure hope the whole Lex-Lana-Clark saga comes to an end..... Since Lex and Clark are indispensable... Lana should die...

Are we fools?
Well, sometimes AlMiles show us little glimpses of genius. Unfortunately those have become extremely rare. But I guess those are enough to keep me watching....

[blackcelebration]

This was really really dissapointing.

1st Wes.

Why does a guy who has all the Meteor Freaks abilities & CAN GO INVISIBLE need a knife???

Why did he reveal himself to Lois when he killed The Senetor when it would have been easier (& more logical) to kill him whilst invisible!!!

THIS GUY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GREAT SOLDIER, well according to General Lane!!!

This was just truely a dumb enemy who was actually DUMBER THAN CLARK!!!!

2nd Clark

OK you have X-RAY VISION & SUPER HEARING so why was Wes being invisible such a big deal...??? Oh sorry you're a BDA!!!!

Also the thing I am disturbed the most is that Clark killed someone AGAIN!!! OK the guy was armed with a knife :rotfl:
But was Wes really capable of harming Clark & why didn't Clark try & reason with him...? Of course Clark is a BDA!!!!

Lastly & maybe even more disturbing is how easily Clark allowed Martha to go to Washington & become Senitor because his Dad would have wanted that...

Do you remember a Pilot episode around Six Years Ago after Clark had saved Lex's life Lex brought Clark a car as a gift but Johnathan said that he should refuse the car because WASN'T SAVING A LIFE ENOUGH REWARD.

Yet six years later we are led to believe that Johnathan would want his wife to accept being Senitor because she knew a very rich & powerful man who also happens to know that Clark is special. That's just ridiculous!!!

This is by far the worst season of Smallville. Yes more worse than Season 4, at least the characters were in character!!!

If Season 7 is anything like this again (God forbid) then I hope that CW do us all a favour & put this now miserable excuse of A YOUNG SUPERMAN SHOW out of its misery before Al Miles & Co make Superman more of an embarrisment!!!

[GooN]

Well this episode was all about the right things....i just think it wasn't done well enough. The acting was kind of poor and it didn't seem to have a flow to it.

i thought the later half of the season was pretty good actually and have high hopes for the finale

[Burtoner]

i feel this is the last ever season, its been getting worse and worse and to be honest just crap lately.
