[What The]

in tradition to the Comic Book Guy

my vote goes to either the episode clark discovers heat vision, oh! those red smoke rings (with the cheesey special effects!)really sold me! *being sarcastic* who cares that krysta allen is hot? that episode reaked!

another poor episode is the episode lana lang learns to kick-box, and lex taught her how to! because he was in the navy which is a giant plot hole, i mean how the hell did we know that? when could lex ever fight? end verdict: pretty terrible stuff!

[LovesMissKreuk]

those episodes are called heat and precipice i believe. (Not tryin to be a smartass or anythin jus helpin out :))

[kehcorpz]

Craving was a horrible one for me. It just didn't do it for me. It's one of those episodes that I skip when having a smallville marathon, unless i haven't seen it in a very long time.

[LovesMissKreuk]

Yea i wasn't too big of a fan of that episode either. I also didn't like drone...man what was the point of that episode?

[SGuthrie]

For Season 2, I am probably one of the few who agree that "Heat" stunk. Ugh. Like limburger cheese dipped in a vat of onions and sprayed with a skunk. Redux had no point to it, whatsoever. Nocturne was slightly better, but still fell a bit flat. Dichotic just annoyed me -- how many times have those girls been saved by Clark, and then they still don't trust him?! That, and I'm just not a JTT fan. Skinwalker had good elements, but the Kyla actress was so bland. Visage was just too... eek, creepy, and nasty, for my tastes. Actually, the rest of the episodes of that season were pretty good, though Visitor was nothing to write home about.

In Season 1, a lot of Craving was just gross, but as I've said elsewhere, Jodie was a bit more likable than other FOTWs, even if she WAS chowing down on a deer. Drone, agreed, was pretty pointless as well. And Reaper? Don't get me started, there... :P It's funny, but I can't really think of a lot of other bad Season 1 episodes... what does that tell you? ;)

--Jeff ><>' :)--

[JollyCynic]

Season 2.

Because by the time Nocturne rolled around, I was dying for Reaper reruns.

[Rinksa_angel]

Reaper and Nocturne for me.

[brighid]

It's a toss-up between "Reaper" and "Nocturne" but I think ""Nocturne" wins. "Reaper" at least had the cool end scene where Whitney got to play for the Sharks whereas "Nocturne" had...more Lana Stalkers. :rolleyes:

Hee! MR in a sailor suit! But anyway, toss up between Nocturne, Redux, Dichotic, Witness, ect. For season1 I'll say Hothead and Reaper. Drone was no prize either, but choch full of cheese!

I will forever type Witness as Witless and then go back and fix it. :D

[rumpuso]

My 3 least enjoyable episodes during the 2nd season are Suspect - I get easily bored with "whodunnit" episodes
Visitor - Big letdown after Rosetta - was really expecting more after such a long wait
Prodigal - I like Lex Luthor very much, but this episode just didn't have enough Clark super stuff for me - I need my weekly Clark dose.

Jury is still out on Season 1 - I need to watch my DVD when it gets here to refresh my memory.

[nexgod]

Redux....it was like uh what the hell is going on herre

[KJK]

I gotta go with Craving and Drone.

[AzNecKoBaLLeR]

i have to go with heat horrible...

[PIckle Lily]

I would say redux. the ending when christie (is is christie?) died was just gross. what was with all the light coming out?as far as i know decomposing bodies don't do that!

[Meighan]

Of course not. You're supposed to phone home! get it? Cuz.. Cyrus thought he was an alien and Clark is an alien and ET phones home and... I'll just shut up now.

[Deagleclaw]

I hated the following episodes for obvious reasons...

Craving, Drone, Redux, Precipice... Nocturne is a toss up, I didn't like it but I didn't hate it... the whole holding down a helicopter thing destroyed the ending.

Later Vader H8r.
Deagleclaw out

[Burtoner]

i go with heat too

[Frapz]

i like heat, nocturne is the only episode i havent seen, and i hated redux and reaper.

the person that said that cyrus wasnt an alien- id have to disagree. i think he was and i even think that he might have been kryptonian, i wish they had gone deeper into that. i thot that episode was great.

[Big Albowski]

My vote is for Redux!! *blech*

Al

[SullivanLane]

"Heat" was awesome if only for the humor of the teaser scene and how GAY the whole episode turned out to be. I'm not usually eyes-wide-open to the HoYay, but I saw it ALL OVER "Heat."

[Mr Parker]

My vote goes for this past season where Martha is held hostage with Lionel and Clark rescues her.The Daily Planet is suppose to be in New York right? So how the hell does Clark get there so fast when he cant even fly yet and yet still beats Lex and his dad when they fly by helicopter and Lex doesnt even bother to ask Clark how he got there?

[SGuthrie]

The Daily Planet is in METROPOLIS, which in the "Smallville" television show is located in Kansas, thus not that far from the TOWN of Smallville. Thus, it's little surprise that he gets there as quickly as he does.

LOL, Meighan, I liked your comment about "phone home"...

What really gets me is the times that a couple of really reeking episodes are shown in succession, like Nocturne and Redux... it just makes you wanna go "ARGH!" But then they make up for it with a stellar one like "Ryan" and the universe is restored. :)

--Jeff ><>' :)--

[Dannyblue1]

I'm pretty easy on the season 1 episodes. I actually liked most of those a lot of fans dislike. I don't know if it's because I tend to cut new shows slack early on, or I just enjoyed season 1 more overall.

After "Lineage", I stopped with the slack cutting. I figure they should know better by now, so no more excuses.

I really thought "Skinwalker" was poorly done. So was "Suspect". And "Nocturne". I thought about making a list of all the season 2 episodes I disliked overall, but it was two depressing. When you disliked as many episodes as you liked, that's not good.

[SuperClark]

My vote goes to Redux and Drone.

Drone was like were the hell did this chick came from?.Because it didn't explain that much and the explanation that Chloe gave about the pheremones was so ridiculous.

Also Drone..that episode didnt have a purpose...and come on!! the bees(i think they were running out of ideas don't you think?).

Is like..OHHH OHHH,i can control bees so im gonna take over the world!!

[bluehybrid69]

I will have to say that Prodigal episode with Bro Luthor coming back was kinda lame, and then the clone JTT episode. The episodes I hated in season 01 are going to be interesting watching them again once I buy the DVD - who knows when that will be? But I can tell now from spoilers that I am not to interested in Relic "Yesturday". I am not a big fan when shows bring characters to old days.

Well I know in the show Smallville is in Metropolis Kansas and thats the main beef I have about the show because everybody knows Metropolis and The Daily Planet are in New York so this kinda betrays the comicbook and confuses everybody putting it in Kansas which is why I had thoughts like-WAIT A MINUTE,THE DAILY PLANET IS IN NEW YORK.:confused:

[supe cjk]

Metropolis and the Daily Planet are not in New York, in the comics they are near New York, not in New York, it is it's own city. In Superman the movie they made New York Metropolis but New York isn't Metropolis, they both exsist in the DC universe, but no it is not supposed to be in Kanas.

[Mr. Mxyll32]

It seems the time of Craving, the freak of the week was getting too old.

[SMLVLFAN89]

I actually liked drone and prodigal, but not to fond of nocturne, craving, and redux

[Tyffi]

Season 1:
"Stray" and "Drone"
"Stray" because I didn't like Ryan and this stupid scene with the garbage car (i don't know the correct english word :confused: )

And "Drone" because the whole Story was ridiculous. Killerbees with a human queen :rolleyes:

Season 2:
"Heat" and "Redux" and actually all episodes with Helen Bryce ;)

[SMLVLFAN89]

garbage truck??? I liked drone cuz of the clark running for class president thing.

"I stand for truth, justice, and other stuff" :)

[The_Last_Son_of_Earth]

Yeah, here's my list for THE WORST Smallville episodes.

1) Craving (Season 1)
2) Redux (Season 2)
3) Visitor (Season 2)
4) Accelerate (Season 2)
5) Witness (Season 2)

[Gem]

There are a few that could qualify, but I think redux gets my vote right now.

[Thanet]

*I* like Nocturne . . . but because of the cheesy dreadful Victorian goth of it all, not in spite of it (sigh)

Reaper was okay . . . kinda of dull, tho'

Redux wins the worst prize, the only thing it could have done to make itself worst is for Victoria Hardwick to have shown up. (hahaha)

[Caplan1230]

Heat didn't even compare to Redux. It was one of the very first time's I was bored during a Smallville episode.

[luthorsmentor]

by far redux with reaper in a close second...

[Radioflyer]

It was one of Lionel Luthor's drivers that was in the navy. That introduction to heat vision episode isn't one of my faves either.

I would have saved it for Rosetta!

[casey]

Okay, we're gonna have to add Magnetic to this list! blech.

[Polo]

For me, the worst episode of the first season, is craving, the woman who eat man, :( , and on the season 2 it's visitor, because they have nothing interesting in the episode.

[vyperman7]

Some bad episoes were :

Season 1

Metamorphosis - "Bug Boy"

Cool - Jock who stills people's body heat

Jitters - Earl Jenkins is obsessed with Level 3 and shakes

Craving - Chick who drinks Kryptonite infected weight loss drink, and starts to eat people

Reaper - Guy who turns people to ash when he touches them

Drone- " Ms. Queen Bee"

Season 2

Nocture - Kid who turns into a beast when he is in the sun

Redux - Girl who kisses people to steal their youth

Accelerate - Lana sees a clone of her childhood best friend, and thinks it is a ghost

Visitor - Strange kid thinks he's an alien

Season 3

Magnetic - Kid gets Magnetic powers and turns Lana into a bad girl

[SuperConartist]

Reaper followed by Visitor. (Visitor because of the disappointing ending.) and Magnetic in third ( hey, at least we got to see Lana in that hot new wardrobe)

[beerstud2000]

i've got to say, i think lineage was absolutely hideous........i think that's the one where martha's father comes to smallville. talk about a snoozefest.

[freakoftheweek]

magnetic was the worst episode ever, hands down. they could have made it so much better....it sucked...downright to ****ing hell

[queenbess]

I don't think any of Season 3's episodes are anywhere near the worst ever, although "Magnetic" was the weakest so far for the season.

I'm going to go with "Redux" as the very worst. Just bad all the way around, and because it was filmed out of order, the continuity was off as well.

"Reaper" and "Drone" were very bad. "Craving" is saved for me by the fact that Amy Adams actually made me feel something for Jodie, and by the Clark/Lana scene at the end watching Bugs Bunny.

"Nocturne" wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst for me. I actually thought "Skinwalkers" was very bad, but I won't put it near the worst because it did introduce the caves that came into play later.

And I didn't care for "Suspect."

[freakoftheweek]

oh i also agree that craving was a terrible ep...gross and just...yeah

i also hated lineage and redux (what the hell? was she even around the meteor shower?)

[Teen Chef]

Redux and Visage.

[Kerryann]

I have to say that I'm going to give someone a break for the First Season. They were just breaking out, and experimenting so I'll only dislike "Craving" (only because a friend of mine was that skinny. She looked anirecsic or bulemic. Nasty.) Haven't seen Season Two and the bad ones for Season Three were "Slumber", "Relic", and "Magnetic", IMO. The only thing that saved those three eppys from total damnation was the fact that TW & MR were in them.

[Marty McFly]

"Craving," IMO, is grossly underrated. Not a great episode, but far better than many people seem to think. I understand that many people dislike it so much because by that time the FOTW formula was really getting old, but since it was the first episode I saw (I was a little late to the party) I viewed it entirely on its merits. And yeah, the FOTW plot was ridiculous (weren't they all), but the subplots and character interaction were, as usual, great (in fact, I think that's the case with nearly all Season 1 episodes). And the closing scene with Clark's makeshift drive-in theater was classic (ahh, the good ol' days when Clana was not only tolerable but occasionally quite endearing). So, my vote for worst episode would have to go to a Season 2 stinker like "Redux" or "Suspect." Or maybe "Skinwalker," or "Precipice." Come to think of it, there were a lot of bad episodes in S2.

[Kryptomaniac]

Magnetic, Suspect, Craving.

[llkk]

Redux was bad.....nocturine was worse.....but Visitor was clearly the worst....especially as it was the episode that followed Rossetta which really got everyone pumped....Visitor was such an anticlimax

This is gonna b a really controversial one but one of my worst episodes is Ryan.......

There was no suspense in this FOTW as he knew everything..........Mind reading is something that's very difficult to show visually and i felt the episode had nothing to do with the previous episode... Lineage (one of my favourites)...

However maybe i didn't fully appreciate this show as i've never seen stray..... but i was fallin asleep during Ryan

PS Dichotic had the worst FOTW

What does TPTB mean anybody?????

[SGuthrie]

TPTB = The Powers That Be, namely meaning the producers and writers of the show -- the people in charge of making Smallville happen.

I agree with you that, in many cases, the ep that follows a tremendously amazing one, such as Lineage, Rosetta, Tempest, and the like can tend to be a major letdown, but I can't possibly say that Ryan was a bad ep! Ryan was one of my FAVE characters, bar none, and this was one of my absolute fave eps which I watched repeatedly. But that's just my opinion -- I'm not saying you can't have yours, because that's what this thread is about: sharing our personal opinions! :)

I think the eps were just falling flat AFTER Ryan, in the arc of Dichotic, Skinwalker, and Visage. I mean, all of them had great elements to them (the caves, getting to see Whitney again, etc.) but the execution of them was WAY off. Thankfully, this was followed up with greats like Insurgence, Rush, Prodigal, and Fever (with a slight lag of Suspect in between).

--Jeff ><>' :)--

[Teen Chef]

Totally agree with Marty McFly. Back then I was a Clana-shipper. I loved that part and it was one of my favorite scenes. Unless they can go back to that way, (which they can't) I will stay an avid Chlarker.

Also agree with SGuthri. Though I did like Dichotic. I do agree that it wasn't nearly one of the best episodes, but I did like it.

[phatboy3k]

There's never been an episode that I truly hated. Yes there are a lot of the ones in this thread that I do not watch a lot, but I still like them all. Even if it is a weak episode with the FOTW, then usually the little stories on the side make them bearable. Like Magnetic, you got to see some Chlark action as well as some awesome Chlex action. In Drone, the FOTW was boring, but we got to see Clark run for Class President, which was cool.

[metamorphosis]

i hated Nocturne, Craving and Drone. i actually thought that Heat was quite a good episode.

[Teen Chef]

*Sobs*
Another Craving hater.

[Tutankh]

i like to base mine on the episodes that couldve been completely skipped
Season 1: craving
season 2: redux
season 3: none so far

as far as absolutely awful eps go... personally i HATED visitor. and i wouldve hated precipice except for the really cool lex story... with paul, the show's first truly psychotic villain.... i think.

[smlvlchk]

i dont know if ive mentioned this already...i hated magnetic...absolutley 100%

but now that i look back on it, i dont think i hated craving as much as i did when i watched it. its a truly disgusting episode, but it actually was pretty good, plot-wise. im not just being sympathetic TC! i actually dont think its as bad as i thot

[MyLiverHurtz]

Craving is one of my favourite episodes, though that may be in part because it was the first episode I ever saw. It was also the second. It is my favourite FoTW episode, because we actually care for her and want her to live on. It's not entirely her fault that she becomes the bad-girl, in fact it's very little her own fault.

As for worst episodes...

Season 1: Cold
Season 2: Lineage
Season 3: None

I don't hate any of the episodes I've seen in season 3. Make it known though that I havn't seen the last half of Relic, and the entireties of both Magnetic and Shattered. My least liked so far however is Slumber.

[Arista 07]

Ack. Taking a second look back "Craving" and "Rogue" were horrendous.

[Vatusia]

My Bottom 5, from less hated to most hated (I never saw 'Redux' and prolly won't till it comes out on DVD, so that gets left off. ;) )

5. Metamorphosis

4. Visage

3. Kinetic

2. Magnetic

And the 'Tyrrath's Turkey' award goes to:

1. Craving!!! :p (it was a conceptual ripoff of Stephen King's novel 'Thinner', it was offensive and sent a bad message to girls because the girl in question was NOT fat in the beginning except for that faux latex double chin)

('Skinwalker' would have made the list because of the awfulness of Kyla, but I kinda like the concept of ancient Kryptonian astronauts, so it was spared ;)

Pretty much any FOTW ep could make the list on a given day if I were grumpy enough. ;) But I've /almost/ accepted the FOTW concept as integral to the show. Almost. :D )

[rumpuso]

You thought Rogue was horrible? Oh my, that was one of my favorites.

[SMLVLFAN89]

I liked rouge too, but craving...ugh.

[MelanieMM]

Huh?/Rogue, is totally one of my favorite episodes. There was no FOTW, Clark got murderously angry..there was that touching scene where he visited his Dad in jail..all good stuff! ...but anyway, the worse is..well Magnetic is up there--completely pointless, Redux, I didn't care for Nocturne either...and Visitor after the brilliance of 'Rosetta' was just criminal.

Oh I didn't care much for Slumber, only because it could have been interesting....I didn't like Relic either..even with the sex scene, mainly because I can't stand flashback (to a different era) episodes.

[slikkidd2]

i'd hav to say the worst episode has to be redux. it was juss a filler episode and really had a horrible plot and i juss couldn't stand it.

[Captain Britain]

Hi guys. I’m posting this from London, where we have just seen the first two episodes of season three. Am I alone in the belief that I have fallen into a parallell dimension where Smallville is being written by a mutant baboon who failed to watch either of the two previous seasons?
I watched the second episode hoping it would be better than the first - but it was worse! How can Clark be stupid enough to, firstly, actually give Morgan Edge a sample of his blood -when Edge didn’t even know what he was supposed to be collecting, and at the same time, demonstrate his one weakness - kryptonite! Duh! Lana actually kills a guy - albiet accidentally - but has zero reaction to doing it; Helen has metamorphised from a caring physician into a Lex’s gold-digging nemesis; and, can someone explain to me exactly why the Kents were losing the farm? Just because Clark was missing? On top of that, the whole “Lex stranded on a desert island with his imaginary psychotic buddy” thread was just totally stupid. And don’t even mention Jonathan’s superpowers!!
The mutant baboon writer took a superb cliffhanger at the end of season two and turned it into a muddled mess!
I will watch episode three, but I am tempted to hand in my red kryptonite ring if it’s as bad as the first two.

[ManiacalLaughter]

They all sucked. Every one.

*ducks*

I loved your post BTW...cracked me up! A little clarification: Lex was taught to fight by an ex-Navy SEAL...he was never in the Navy himself.

No disrespect at all to the Navy, but...I just can't picture MR in the white sailor suit with the hat. He'd look too silly!

LOL! Too funny!!! He's a Luthor, he'd be an officer, and look damn fine in dress whites!!!

Season 2:
"Heat" and "Redux" and actually all episodes with Helen Bryce ;)


Yay!! I finally found someone who didn't like either Ryan or Helen. I couldn't stand either one of them. Any show with them are my least favorites.

Thats interesting, mainly because I only started watching Smallville this season and thats how I was introduced to it. I guess Clark gave him the blood because if he didn't, Morgan would have killed his parents, and if he used someone else's blood, Morgan would have come back...I don't know. Yeah I didn't understand the whole Lana injection either, she honestly didn't even need to be there, it was just dumb...and what happened to the body?? Don't give up hope..the episodes are pretty good...and wait til Shattered..totally mind blowing:)

[Captain Britain]

Hi MelanieMM, thanks for the reply. I won’t hang up my cape just yet then. I’ll keep watching in the hope that the series will improve- but without the great expectations. Does Pete Ross reappear? He wasn’t around in the first two episodes.

[Teen Chef]

Yes, but sadly not for very long. :( But! Don't give up hope! Pete will be the main focus of two episodes coming up this season. The episode called, Perry, was Pete's longest appearence, so far this season.

[MelanieMM]

Just make sure to ignore the dreadful 'Magnetic'..I apologize for that in advance

[Captain Britain]

I shall look out for Pete - although I’m not that concerned, I was merely curious.
And I will consider myself warned about ‘Magnetic’.
The third episode airs here on monday, I will let you know what I thought of it!

[Teen Chef]

Magnetis wasn't that bad. It wasn't nearly one of the best episodes, but it wasn't awful.

[smlvlchk]

if your a chlark fan maybe :p

[Teen Chef]

Of Course I am! Take a look at my sig! :p

[sci-fi_hobbit]

My vote would definitly have to go to season 3's "Relic" episode. The plot was far too much like a soap opera for me. If it had added more to the smallville mythology(I mean more depth into the visitor from krypton, rather than the love triangle/murder plot) I could have lived with it. As it was though, it was the worst in my opinion. "Craving" from season 1 would have to be my second pick for least favorite. Most of the others I don't mind. Definintly willing to overlook a couple not so great episodes to catch the far outnumbering great episodes.

[Captain Britain]

Okay, getting better. I loved the look on Clark’s face when he saw the kryptonite bullet heading his way. It was “Here we go again, I’ll just catch this one too.” I guess next time he’ll just move out of the way.
I wonder if Lionel Luthor has secrect passages that run the length and breadth of Smallville. He just pops up in just about every location - expecially in the last episodes of the second season, he was in virtually every scene, in every location!
By the way, in response to Tyffi, the English equivalent of “garbage truck” is dustcart. Honestly.
Okay, let’s see if episode four is a further improvement on three.

[SGuthrie]

Heh, yeah, that's what saved Magnetic slightly for me too, Teen Chef! :D Love live the Chlark! Looking back, I think it's really funny how the show would hit multiple episodes that were bad, and then several great ones. For example, I was not a big fan of Dichotic, Visage, or Skinwalker -- those were some of the worst eps of S2, in my eyes. Nocturne and Redux came back to back, too. But then, almost every other episode of the rest of that season (er, except Heat and Visitor) were excellent! It's just an interesting roller coaster ride, I guess...

--Jeff ><>' :)--

[GL2814]

The worst episode was the one when Martha and Clark get sick and the ship saves the day. So cheesy.

[shattered]

I cant choose just ONE episode as the worst ever. I have a few:

Craving
Drone
Nocturne
Redux
Skinwalker --> i know this episode was supposed to be good for the plot and stuff but it was just so poorly done and i found this episode to be extremely boring.

xxx

[vyperman7]

I am curious why people don't like Skinwalker more. It introduced the caves, and started Clark on his quest to really find out more about himself. Plus, Kyla was extremely attractive as well.

Sci-Fi Hobbit - How can you say Relic is one of the worst episodes? We got to see Jor-El fly, and it really dove into Clark's origins. It was extremely well done. From the previews, I didn't think I was going to like it all, but it turned out to be one of the best so far in my opinion. Everyone thought that it was just going to be a vehicle for shoving more Clark/Lana action in our face. But it actually stuck to Clark for the most part.

[hpoppink]

Season 1: Cool
Season 2: Redux
Season 3: Magnetic

But truth be told, I still enjoy watching even these episodes. :) I guess I'm a die-hard.

[Mr Parker]

Craving from the first seaon gets my vote.Im like you hpoppink.Even though I found that one so stupid,I'll still watch even that one.any episode with lana in it,I'll watch it.:D

[outatime]

I have to say, after the extremely promising strat to the season (my favorite season so far) the episode 'Magnetic', show earlier this week in the UK, was by far the worst episode of Smallville I have seen so far.
After a continuing story-thread that was both exciting and innovative for the first six episodes, to go back to the far too familiar 'freak-of-the-week' formula was a big dissapointment.
Besides, wasnt the whole "mysterious guy who is close to and obsesses with a lead female character yet has never before been seen or mentioned then gets all homicidal and tries to kill Clark" thing all done before in a previous series with Chloe and the Artist?
I have a feeling that the episode was shot out of sequence, and the fact that Welling was in the episode less than usual, could signal that it was shot around the time Welling was shooting 'Cheeper by the Dozen' or something, it just didnt fit with the feel and tempo of the series so far.
Also have a feeling that it was not a usual Smallville writer, who just didnt seem to capture the characterisation. And how many moments can you have where Lana walks into the ban, Clark looks taken aback, and sighs "Lana"?
I wouldnt mind, but even as a free-of-the-week story it was sub-standard.

Also, I find it hard to believe that so many people disliked 'Heat', any episode with a new power documenting Clark's transition into the Man of Steel is surely a fan's dream. Not to mention the fact that it had the quite stunning Krista Allen as a guest star, probably the best one since the nigh-on perfect Kelly Brook had a story arc in series one.

Phew, this is a long post!
Sorry about that, but this is my first post (been reading and visiting the site for some time, but just got around to registering) so I had quite a lot to say on the subject.

Anyhoo, thanks for listening,

peace out.

Oh Yeah, p.s. vyperman7 is right on the money, although it was a departure 'Relic' is now one of my favourite episodes, seeing Jor-El fly was fantastic (that MUST have put idea's in Clark's head!), and it really pushed the envelope of a typical Smallville episode, being daring and unique without being too silly or cliched.

[Renee28]

Until last night, I'd have said "Slumber" was the worst. But now "Obsession" wins that title, hands down.

[Burtoner]

yup thats defaintly for sure, obsession was good

[Purple Kryptonite]

i would have to go with Craving

[Chiriru]

I'm with Markle (JollyCynic).

S2. Because it made Reaker look GOOD. And that's just wrong.

[KryptoniteJem]

The Reaper was definitley the worst.

[clara]

i actually do not have a "worst episode"... :p am i the only one out here who is such a sucker for Smallville that just laps up whatever comes my way, good or bad? but i gotta admit, some episodes mentioned were pretty bad, but i still enjoy watching them a lot! :lol:

[Burtoner]

craving was my worst

From the previews, I didn't think I was going to like it all, but it turned out to be one of the best so far in my opinion. Everyone thought that it was just going to be a vehicle for shoving more Clark/Lana action in our face. But it actually stuck to Clark for the most part.

The problem with "Relic" was that it was a lot like "Titanic" -- lots of interesting material shoved into the background to make room for a really weak love story. Louise in particular was beyond annoying, and I couldn't have cared less what happened to her. (She wanted to run off and be a movie star? How very original of her!)

[vyperman7]

Add Resurrection to the list!!!

Resurrection was just plain awful in my opinion.

- It did not expand on the two current storylines with Dr. Teng and Lex, and Adam.

- Lionel did not appear in the episode even though the syrum was his idea. He should have been there to check its progress and to intimidate Dr. Teng.

- Garret was extremely boring. I didn't like how they made him seem like a reoccuring character. That would have made the episode better if he was. If a reoccuring character suddenly goes crazy, it means more because we have had time to invest in the character.

- The idea behind the episode - Clark's blood resurrecting people, was not expanded on at all. There was the one scene with Vince, and a 30 second blip with Clark talking about it.

- The bomb situation was taken care of far too easily. Granted the explosion was cool, but that was probably the only thing the episode had going for it.

- The ending once again reinforces Lana and Clark's relationship. We get it by now OK. Clark and Lana are just friends and Clark does not trust Lana enough to reveal his secret. Does the end to every episode have to tell us this? How about ending an episode with a cliffhanger or a major revelation for a change?

[SmallvilleFan11]

Definently

MAGNETIC.....altho i will still watch it....lol

Resurrection was good..what are u talking about?!?!

[reberfan]

METAMORPHISIS! Just disturbing and wasnt really a fave... was good but I'm not big on bugs. :S

[HyperKryptonWeirdo08]

I would have to say I thikn the worst episode is Redux. That was such a filler episode to me.

[Mike]

I'm relatively new to the series(just bought the first season on DVD, haven't seen many of season 2 or 3), but my least favorite out of the ones I've seen is "Zero". I just thought that the explanation of a look-alike of the dude was extremely lame, and there was nothing else to the Episode, really.

~Mike~

[Nina]

Ok yeah sure- and I see your point BUT didnt you think finding out about lex's past was interesting? AND it is the first time we see chlow starting to delve into her inverstigating clark thing? I thought Zero was a great ep myself.:) Sorry not that im trying to covert you to zero or anything!

[Mike]

^It's perfectly allright to have differing opinions. I felt that it had its strengths and merits(whether you like it or not, everything does) as well as faults. But I thought they explained the man's reappearance pretty poorly with the twin/double idea. I haven't seen every episode yet(contrarily; outside of Season 1, I've seen maybe 5), but Zero is the one I enjoyed the least thus far.

~Mike~

[Max]

craving was the worst i thought then the streetracing ep, altough it was nice to see Pete in a bigger part than usual...

[Mike]

^Velocity would be the one you were thinking of. Craving actually featured Pete in a pretty big role too, as he was the good friend/date of the FOTW.

So far, Zero still stands was my least favorite.

~Mike~

[Misssupergirl89]

Duplicity, Resurrection, Visitor.

This was hard b-cause i had 2 go 2 tvtome.com 2 read the sypnois. Usually when i see a bad Smallville i try 2 4get about it.

I thought that Zero was okay, but its easy 2 4get that one.

I liked "Lineage" and "Skinwalker" and "Suspect". Nocturne really sucked.

Oh and "Slumber" was kind of bad 2.

I never saw Witness but it sount like it sucked

oh and Velocity was so bad that i stopped watching it 2 clean up my room.

[Fletcher]

Originally posted by Mike

Why "Zero"? IMHO that was one of the best "Smallville" episodes ever.

[ILoveClana]

There aren't any episodes in season 1 that I really disliked, and most of season 2 I haven't seen yet.
As far as this season goes, though, I absolutely hated Resurrection. Everything just seemed off in that episode. That's the best explanation I have...it all felt wrong.

[vyperman7]

Here are the bad episodes through out the show :

Season 1

Metamorphosis
Cool
Craving
Reaper
Drone

Season 2

Nocturne
Redux
Visitor
Accelerate

Season 3

Resurrection
Magnetic

[Angel2]

Season 1
None

Season 2
Precipice
Accelerate
Visage

Season 3

Slumber
Relic
Crisis
Resurrection

[Icer]

Season 1
Reaper
Drone

Season 2
Nocturne
Visitor
Accelerate

Season 3
Slumber
Magnetic
Forsaken (Emily Dinsmore plot sucked, the subplots were good though)

[Misssupergirl89]

I agree w/ u Icer. I didnt see Forsaken though. All i liked about Nocturne was the kewl Lexana quote i got.

[vyperman7]

I was pleasantly suprised by Forsaken. I expected to hate it with a passion, and it turned out to be a very good episode in my opinion. Granted, it did have its flaws. But, overall it did a good job building up the season finale and building suspense. They should have given Pete a better send off though.

[tmkfan]

Well of the first season i like all the eps, in 2nd season i hated Redux, that ep was horrible, i hated suspect it was so bore, skinwalker bad bad, oh and Duplicity another bore one, of the 3rd season Talisman, Truth but the worst was Obsession, that girl Alicia i hated her so much..
Oh and i loved Relic! xD

[ramonac]

Probably either "1961" or "Whisper". Just too much Clana in the first and a laughable FOTW in the other.

[Cataschysm]

Craving and Drone.

[marcas_mac]

I Hated "Slumber" from season three.....pointless...and Sh*t

[chlark fan]

Season 1:

Jitters
Craving
Stray
Reaper
wasn't extremely fond of 'Kinetic' either

Season 2:

Visitor
Redux
Skinwalker

Season 3:

Velocity
Talisman

[SmallvilleScreenwriter]

I found Talisman to be terribly uninteresting. The whole over-used tribal medicine man story-line just felt too much like TV. I would have rather have seen another FOTW.

[vyperman7]

I actually loved Talisman. It was in my top 5 for season 3. There was tons of suspense from Jeremiah having powers, as well as the cave folklore which I like. The ending with Lex's interpretation of the legend had to be one of the best endings of the show to date. You have also got to love the Superman forshadowing with the red blanket, as well as Schnieder's line " You can be the world's greatest hero, or its most mild mannered citizen".

[Fenice]

Season 1:

Cool
Reaper


Season 2:

Redux
Precipice

Season 3:

Magnetic
Whisper
Resurrection
Forsaken ( The Lex/Lionel story was fine but Pete's exit was mishandled and the I did not care for the rehashing of the emily story)

[lilo]

In the series as a whole so far, "Whisper" definitely takes the cake. I can't believe some of the ones that have been listed so far, though. IMO, there was not a single bad episode from S1, except for maybe "Insurgence".

Insurgence was in season 2, and is one of the best episodes of the entire series.

Not a bad episode from season 1??

- Craving
- Reaper
- Drone
- Metamorphosis
- Cool
- Drone

Whisper did have one of the worst FOTW's ever. I mean all the guy did was make his adam's apple dance and then he would grind his teeth to make a high pitched whine. However, aside from the horrible FOTW, I liked Whisper. I enjoyed seeing Clark in glasses, as well as watching Clark practice to get his hearing working with Johnathan and Martha in the barn.

[tmkfan]

Now that i saw all the first season i must say
Season 1
Craving
Jitters
Obscura

Season 2
Redux
Suspect
Duplicity

Season 3
Truth

I must've goten the title wrong then. What was the one called where Lana could see through the eyes of the cop? That's the one I meant. And I don't agree with your list of bad S1 episodes, but to each his own. Maybe you just don't like the FOTW concept that was so stong in S1. What got me about "Whisper" was the awful dialogue and overall terrible randomness of the plot. I almost had to pinch myself to see if it was in fact Smallville that I was watching. If you read Hope's review of it on the homepage, well, she expressed my feelings perfectly.

I have no problem with the FOTW concept in season 1. It is the bad FOTW's that I have a problem with. The idea of a FOTW that eats people, steals people's body heat, turns someone into ash, behaves like a bug. or controls bees are bad ones. If the FOTW's abilities were cool ones, then I would have no problem whatsoever.

[Misssupergirl89]

I think it was smart to do FOTW's in s1 because it probaly got a lot of ppl intrested in the show. Some of them were lame bayond words though. I think the best was Tina Greer.

The title of that episode is Obscura.

[Misssupergirl89]

taht was cloer to the end of s1, right?

[ILoveClana]

Yeah, it's the second to the last episode.

[ClarkSupportsOrganic]

Can't comment on Season 1 yet... don't remember much although I will went I get through my DVDs. ;) I do remember Craving being kind of icky... blech.

S2: Redux- the aging thing was just kind of disgusting and the 'money troubles' thing didn't make sense considering Martha's new job.

Dichotic- Man, I do not like JTT. And he was 2 people.... so? He was still pretty normal and he overpowered both girls? Couldn't they have just kneed him in the balls or something? Heee.

I agree that Nocturne and Visage were more mediocre episodes... but I did like the FOTW in Nocturne to some extent and Visage was kind of fun with the Clark v. Clark. The whole 'mad world' scene was kinda touching too, where Lana finds out that Whitney died at least IMO. Too me, Prodigal was kind o f too Lexcentric for my taste but not a bad episode.

Wowee... I can't believe people hated Heat. Heat was soooo funny! I mean, Clark gets his heat vision from thinking about sex?! That's hilarious! I will concede the cheesy pink smoke from the pheromone gal though.

S3: Magnetic... ahhhh... too cheesy, too much Clana. Lana whines 'it was nice to have like someone and for him to like me back'... pshaw girly! You were under her control!

There were a few more mediocre ones and some were kinda cheesy but overall I really loved Season 3. Most of the stories were connected or at least creative storytelling. I forgive the cheesiness of Slumber for its abundance of lovely REM music and the fact that dream sequences are o so cool. I forgive the cheesiness of Relic because Jor El was a hottie pants. I forgive the return of Emily Dinsmore in Foresaken because the other scenes were pretty cool. Season 3 was the best in my opinion. :D W00t w00t!

Heat is an awesome episode, and definately my favorite of the super power episodes. I think that more people than not like the episode. However, it did offend some of the more uptight fans of the show because of the fact that it dealt with sex. However, that is why I feel the episode is so good, because relating heat vision to sexual tension makes a lot of sense. The body heats up when it gets sexually excited, and that takes on a whole new meaning with Clark.

I also agree that season three is the best season. It is by far my favorite, even though seasons one and two were good as well. I think the show has gotten better with every season.

[leeanachs07]

CRAVING WAS THE WORST EPPY OF THEM ALL.

[Shinzon2004]

I really hated the episode "Nocturne" and the second season episode "Accelerate".

I mean,I really hated the guy that sended those poems to Lana....
and in "Accelerate" that spoiled clone made me angry for some reason.....

[mobiusklein]

For S3, I hated Magnetic and Velocity.

[Smallville_luver]

Rose Etta.

[ajax]

wot about magnetic that was the most borin episode ever ( apart from the heatvison/road scene)

aswel as:

kinetic
nocturne
accelerate
slumber
forsaken
delete
resurection

[Miranda]

I have seen none of season 3 yet so i can't judge about that.

"Worst" (cause they're not all bad) episodes i've seen:
Zero
Redux and
Suspect

I actually really liked Zero. I thought it was a very good episode because I enjoyed watching the story fold out. Even though Lex's past life in Metropolis has nothing to do with Clark or his destiny, which is supposed to be the main focus of the show, Zero was a nice change of pace.

Redux was absolutely horrible, and is the worst episode of the show in my opinion.

Suspect was a decent episode. I enjoyed the murder/mystery aspect of the episode. I never saw the end coming at all. I mean I knew that the killer would be someone unexpected, but that was really out of left field. The main problem I had with the episode, is the fact that it was Sheriff Ethan's last episode. He is so much better than the current sheriff. I can't stand her.

[umike2]

My vote goes for 'Relic' in season 3.... there was absolutely nothing I liked about it... boring!

[vyperman7]

Originally posted by umike2

Are you serious??

In my opinion, Relic is one of the best episodes of the show. You had the flying scene with Jor-El, the great ending with Clark revealing that the Kents were chosen, as well as the parts that went into Clark's origins, and the overall mystery of the episode with who really killed Louise.

[yankeefan21]

Metamorphosis was pretty bad.

[vyperman7]

Originally posted by yankeefan21

I used to really hate it too.

While I still consider it to be one of the weaker episodes of the first season, I don't hate it quite as much as I used to. Now when I watch the first season DVD, I look at Metamorphosis as a more of a companion piece to the pilot episode, then a seperate episode. In Canada before the first season set came out on DVD, they released the pilot, and Metamorphosis in one DVD set as the two part extended version of the pilot.

Right now, I would probably give Metamorphosis a 6/10

[badclarkisback]

Season 1: Craving
Season 2: Redux
Season 3: Resurrection

[Equestrian4Lyf]

I just remembered how much I hated that Ryan kid. I really, really, really didn't like those 2 episodes. Though I did dislike Whisper, Velocity and Redux more.

[vyperman7]

Now this is a list I agree with. All three you mentioned were the worst episodes of each season. However, I always have a hard time deciding whether I hate Reaper or Craving more. Resurrection was just god awful. Resurrection and Magnetic were the only two season three episodes I had a problem with.


Originally posted by Equestrian4Lyf

I personally really enjoyed both Stray and Ryan. It was cool to see what it was like if Clark had a younger brother. While it is true that Ryan could get annoying at times with all of his questions, I really liked the episodes overall. I did think that Stray was better than Ryan though.

[zaris]

Well after re-watching Velocity last night I have to go with that ep as the very worst this show ever put out. Did everyone go on vacation in Smallville and were just replaced by these awful characters? Pete was just deplorable, and where does he just get off suggesting that Clark robs another ATM? And Clark, well. Shame on him. For shame. He does not have any moral or ethical superiority over Lex, not after stealing his car like that. And lying about it too. (Still thinking that Lex has to have security cameras in his garage and knows his bud did take the car. No wonder he looked so sad.) I'm sorry, but Lex has given the kents their farm and sent gifts to Mr. kent in the hospital and still it isn't enough. They don't even care about what happens to him as demonstrated in Shattered and Asylum. Clark does, but robbing from your friend Peter to pay your friend Paul isn't what friends do, not good friends anyway. Lex was within his right to say no at giving away that sum of money. Especially after all he's done for them and still isn't treated very well. And being a teen doesn't excuse Clark at all. He knows better than this. If his parents knew he had stolen even from a Luthor they would have ripped him a new orifice. I guess Clark did take Pete's advicce after all and robbed another ATM, of the bank of Luthor.

Sorry for the rant, sometimes as much as I love my Clark I expect him to act better.

[HAD1]

mine are

craving
redux
magnetic

[Andie]

Season 1: Reaper or Reeker
Season 2: Redux, followed by Vistior, Witness, Accelerate.
Season 3: Magnetic and Extintion

[Little Miss Lurker]

Contrary to many, I actually liked "Craving". I guess I just have a thing for fat-sucking vampires. :D

The worst episode that has ever aired would have to be "Resurrection". Crappy guest star, boring storyline, irritating un-continuity. The guy who played Garrett was downright awful. I literally cringed everytime he opened his mouth.

I majorly disagree on Craving.

But I agree 110% on Resurrection. Worst episode of season three hands down. I gave it a 2/10, and the only reason it even got a 2 is because of the effects on the explosion.

[Little Miss Lurker]

Yeah, I actually dozed off through part of it. And that is pretty bad, because I stayed awake through a whole show of Teletubbies (even though I threw up a couple of times. :p).
LML

[Andie]

I personally thought Magentic was disgusting. Even though I'am not a fan of Lana, what Seth tried to do to her was sick.:eek:

[small]

Season One:

My worst episode for season one is probably "Hothead", "Zero" and "Reaper".

Season Two:

My worst episode for season two is probably "Redux", "Lineage", "Skinwalker", "Insurgence" and "Rosetta". "Rosetta" is probably the worst because it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring...

Season Three:

My worst episode for season three is probably "Perry", "Shattered", "Resurrection" and "Memoria". I think "Perry" is the worst because, again, it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring...

Overall, I think the worst episode for me is "Rosetta".

[ajax]

are u mad ( no offense), rosetta and memoria are two of the best episodes ever. id say the best of season 2 and 3.

i agree with resurection apart from tha sfx at the end.

put "perry" and "shattered" are also great episodes especially with the introduction of the character "perry white" and clark discovering the scource of his power and them going out of control and the sfx when clark lifts/throws the tractor make this a great episode alone and "shatterd" had lex find out clarks secret and had that great sfx where clark got hit by a car not to mention that the story for these were good.

as for
hothead
zero
reaper
lineage
insurgence
skinwalker

i agree these arnt the best eps but there certainly not the worst, i thawt seeing clark leap tall buildings for the first time in insurgence was excellent. but thats just my opinion, does anyone else think these episodes are the worst/boring or am i the only one who thinks they are great.

I love Hothead and Zero. I will agree with you on Reaper.

You did not like Rosetta or Insurgence?? I would also like to ask if you are mad as well. You are probably the first person I have ever heard say that before. Lineage comes down to a matter of taste and what you look for out of the show. I loved the flashbacks and how the episode explained Clark's adoption. That is why I liked Lineage. Skinwalker introduced the caves so that is why I like it. Redux sucked hard though, and is probably the worst episode of the whole show. You are also probably the only person I have ever heard of that hated Shattered or Memoria as well. Seriously, what do you look for to come out of the show?? I agree on Resurrection. I hated it with a passion. Perry was a little slow at times. But, I liked the episode because of Clark's powers going out of whack, and the ending that set up Clark, entry into the Planet.

[my3cats]

Ryan (or maybe it was the first one with that kid Stray) was the first time I really thought Smallville had jumped the shark. It was just dull,dull,dull. at the end of the show i was like "what show's over, nothing happened yet"

Redux and Whisper for worst FOTW. Most of the FOTW storylines (especially in S2 and S3) are so unoriginal and poorly developed I barely remember enough to tell them apart.

I'm surprised there are so few mentions for Extinction, worst ever episode by far. I actually wondered if it was SUPPOSED to be a self-parody.

[vyperman7]

Originally posted by my3cats

I would actually call Extinction one of the weaker episodes of season three. It is still watchable though and the thing that really saved it for me was the scene where Clark gets shot. The acting for that scene was incredible. The idea of hunting down meteor freaks is also a good one.

[grunt]

There's only one episode bad enough for me to remember, and it's Pete and Furious.

Huh... I mean Velocity.

[RedRocks]

I agree, Velocity was so boring, it seemed like it was only there to give Pete's charater a little air time. Another boring one was Nocturne, didn't do anything for me at all because it seems like there've been enough episodes with Lana stalkers.

[tw190]

I haven't seen any of seasons two and three.

But in season one, Drone and Craving didn't do anything for me. It was like "Umm... and the point was?"

Sorry "small" boy , but your opinion is woeful.

THE WORST EPISODES:
S1: In this season we see lot of mediocre episodes, but the worst is REAPER and/or OBSCURA.
S2: This season was great. But this season have bad episodes too. The worst episode was: REDUX
S3: This is the best season till now. The worst episode: MAGNETIC
S4: Good season. With good, and medicore episodes. The worst episode: BOUND

[S-Man]

We always have votes on what is the best episode ever, but what in your mind is the worst episode and why??? Right off the top of my head, I'd have to say the worst episode is Jinx. Even though there were some "nice" scenes, it didn't really have a point at all and was just a waste.

[truemeathead]

I liked Jinx I thought Mxypltlk was a pimp. I didn't really like Craving too much I thought that one was kinda lame also the one this season that they called kryp tuck I forgot the actual title but that one was also kind of lame. Luckily enough there aren't that many eps that flat out blow chunks if any yay!

[lacey]

i didnt like facade or craving either

[ColumbiaBlue412]

Magnetic was a horrible, horrible episode. And it was written by a woman which is appalling. The only good things about that episode was the Chloe and Lana interacting in the beginning and the awesome Chlex scenes.

Other than that, Magnetic sucked like a vaccuum cleaner.

This seasin Facade was grotesque, Clearly a ratings stunt with the girl on girl action and we REALLY didn't need another episode proclaiming KK/Lana to be the most beautiful and perfect being to ever walk the planet.

And Bound was a dud. The Lex is an evil, dirty, man whore because he's slept with a bunch of women was really stupid and when the episode would get its momentum going a little bit, the scene would switch and there would be the mind numbingly boring Lana scenes with more cryptic crap about her tattoo.

[angelfire east]

I hated Jinx and Bound, both sucked. Did nothing for characters, either seened any good.

With Jinx, just everything bugged me. I hated the bad guy, I didn't think the actor was very good, unbeleive to me. I didn't buy that Chloe all into gambing(sp) when nothing was ever even hinted at before. I didn't like the Lana parts, but that's nothing new. I didn't like how Lex acted in the episode it just didn't "fit" right with the way he had been acting in the past few episodes. I hated I mean HATED the way the made Clark care more about playing football then how bad the guy(other football player) he hit (fall into) who was hurt. I hated the scene where he put Kryptonite in his hand and try to throw the football, I know the call Clark BDA but I never really thought he was till seeing him do that. I didn't like how Clark tryed to play football and save Chloe at the same time, I feel he should have saved only tried to save Chloe not to be the football hero. I just hated the episode all together.

With Bound same thing, I didn't like the way Clark or Lex acted, I hated how Clark reacted to Lex telling him he can't understand why he keeps going, and how he thought that it was a good thing that he would have died in that fire. The only thing I could stand in the whole epaisode was Chloe. I didn't like how Clark trusted Lionel more then Lex. I didn't like how Lionel said that Clark was doing all these things he use to do. The way I see Lex he has tryed to do everything different fromn his father, that's why it didn't "fit" to me.

This seasin Facade was grotesque, Clearly a ratings stunt with the girl on girl action and we REALLY didn't need another episode proclaiming KK/Lana to be the most beautiful and perfect being to ever walk the planet.

And Bound was a dud. The Lex is an evil, dirty, man whore because he's slept with a bunch of women was really stupid and when the episode would get its momentum going a little bit, the scene would switch and there would be the mind numbingly boring Lana scenes with more cryptic crap about her tattoo.

I missed this post somehow, I agree with all you have to say here.

[yossarian]

worst :
season 1 reaper(made me sleepy)
season 2 redux (boring)
season 3 - velocity(i think that is season 3)
season 4 - bound ( we already had zero and that wasn't that good to begin with)

[smallvillerocks45]

I love Smallville, I really do, but "Red" just disappointed me. I didn't like how Clark bought his class ring when he wasn't supposed to (it turned out to be a waste of money anyway), and I didn't like how that new girl tried to be so tough, and turned out being a loser. Not to mention Clark was horrible to Lana.

I also wasn't a big fan of Magnetic. I love Air Bud, but in Smallville, Kevin Zegers was so annoying. -- In general, I just can't stand that all any guy wants to do is kiss Lana. That's all they ever do with her. They don't talk about world issues, or school, they just kiss, kiss, kiss. Jason, does try to talk, but that would've never happened if he hadn't accidentally seen Lana's tatoo. How is that a relationship?! (rather than disliking too many episodes, I simply dislike certain elements in the show....the above mentioned things/episodes/elements were the most frustrating for me to watch)

[SmallTownSuperHero]

So far, I've enjoyed every episode... but if it came down to choosing ones that I wouldn't want to watch as often, I would choose the following:

Slumber: Amazing idea for plot, underplayed.
Cool: Pimp Jock Frost, would Chloe really fall for it multiple times in one episode? :confused: I don't think she's that stupid, or that desperate
Jitters: While I enjoy the fact that they make you pity the "FOTW" type, and I like the way the scene with Clark and Lex shows Clark's "human side" to Lex, I just don't like the guy who starred as Jitterbug Joe (Candyman flashbacks anyone?) and the "Top Secret Lvl 3" is kinda cliched.
Drone: Interesting Idea...watching the principal open the beetle door and the bees eating the popular girls flesh wasn't attractive, and overall, just showed Clark "learning a life lesson" type ending.
Whisper: Honestly, the way that guy activates his powers made me laugh. I truly thought the way his throat was convulsing that when he opened his mouth, a big ole' ":eek:RIBBIT:eek:" would pop out. And the fact that TPTB had a perfect opportunity to give Clark glasses... and flushed it down the tubes :P


I really enjoyed Craving. Yes, it was sick when her mouth went all "The Mummy" on the deer, but hey, they really showed how much of an effect peerpressure and bullying can really have. Most people who were picked on in HS can honestly associate feelings like this girl had. Maybe not to that extreme, but they understand.

Remember, I enjoyed them all, but if I was doing an all night marathon, those wouldn't be in my top picks.

I just bought Seasons 1 and 3 recently... couldn't find Season 2 in any local stores, and could only afford 2 seasons at the moment. Sucks that out of all the episodes I have seen, I have never seen the Season premiere episode following the Tornado ending of season 1. Sigh. Send money in small, nonsequential bills in a large envelope to... Just kidding. Hope I can find it soon!:(

Sorry for the LOOOOOOONG post.

[ksrli]

facade and devoted...I like watching them...but there was no point to them. Iwould have put spell on the list to but it tied together(an hopefully ended) the lana isobella plot.

[Hyde]

In my opinon every episode was at least bearable (yes, including Spell). The only one I won't watch twice is Scare.

[MBCorp]

My least favorite by season:

S1: I guess I'd have to go with Reaper except I love the scene where Lex drugs Dominic and sticks him in the trunk of his car.

S2: Skinwalkers and Fever

S3: Velocity, definitely. I hate the way Clark acts in Velocity and I don't like Pete that much so I didn't like a Pete centered episode.

I guess I'm one of the few people who didn't mind Magnetic. It had some good Chlex scenes! But to tell the truth that's all I remember about it:p

[Bart Allen]

Craving wasn't all that great, but still watchable.

[Kryptonicolas]

Worst episode ever is DRONE, it's the only one I really dislike.

[xrosenbaumforever]

Personally I would have to say Visage, I just thought the whole Tina Greer coming back was kind of.. weird and pointless. I liked how they told that Whitney was dead indeed, but not Tina.. they shouldve picked a different way.. its sort of the same way with Skinwalkers.. I didnt really get why they put it in, but hey, they gotta make episodes I guess :/

PS - Eric's acting in Visage was very good though ;D

[ferd]

Kinetic :p Visage was pretty icky too IMHO

[fash292]

I'm suprised in a good way sort of. ON the message boards a lot of people crtisize how season 4 is, and I don't think its that bad but whever. And then when u pick ur worst favorite episode most of them are from seaosn 1 which is good, cause that means the episodes are atleas gettin better. It was funny cause a lot of you in the first page chritisized Heat and that was my first episode that I ever watched of SV and I was so confused about who was Lex lol. It's funny looking back.. I remember me loving that episode maybe my thoughts would change if I watched it again becuz kno i'm not going to be so confused lol.... And I only watched half of it LOL>..

Those plus Magnetic in season 3.

Spell wasn't that bad once you see it more than once.

[xrosenbaumforever]

( we already had zero and that wasn't that good to begin with)

wow. how did you think Zero was a bad episode?! Its by far one of the best O_O or atleast to me..

[x0SVfAnx0]

metamorphis was just wierd.. youd think they would wanna maje a good second episode..

[lex_4_president]

I don't like Hothead (S1), I haven't watched that one since the first time I saw.
Haven't seen any of season 4, except Run and Unsafe...mid-season discoverer of this show...but it sounds like a lot of people didn't like a few of the early 4th season episodes.

[vanilla_bandit]

Zero in season one was terrible in my opinion, so was nocturne.

[lex_4_president]

Hmmm...I loved Zero!?!? Interesting. I agree with you on Nocturne, not one of the best. A lot of season one was hit and miss, I'd say.

[Matt7895]

I'm really surprised not many people like Heat. I loved that episode - the start of it was amazing!

[elfstone2087]

I hated "Craving"



Yeah, "Heat" is a good episode.

[Superbubba]

I can think of maybe 3 or 4 horrible episodes. Then like 3 not so good ones. then good ones. Then awesome episodes. Some doobies too. and then....... I think all the rest of the series has been good

[CrzyNewsboysFan]

I just got done watching the last episode of season 3, I was a little shocked and confused. Isn't there a season 4 coming out? Why then did Chloe, Mr. Kent and Lex die?

[aqua]

I have a rather long list..

Metamorphasis- Ugh, this was just so gross. I mean, he eats his mom and then sheds his skin. Charming. And then here begins the long list of people who are infatuated with Lana and love her enough to attempt to kill her.

Cool- Sean Kelvin, haha, really funny. .. Honestly, I found this to be amusing in a corny way because of his name, but other than that, I didn't like it.

Jitters- I have no idea why, but this episode bores me everytime. Sure, I liked the level three stuff, but I thought Earl was one of the most boring FOTWs ever. I did like how Clark threw a party though.

Kinetic- Ho-ly CRAP. Can these guys go one second without saying "bro?" I liked that we finally get some character development with Whitney, but that was the only good thing about this ep.

Redux- Evil cheerleader on steriods sucking people's lives. Right..

Precipice- I loved Helen personally, but this episode was slow from the start. And I'm glad Helen's so responsible to leave Lana alone with wild frat boys.

Magnetic- *snore * Not only was this boring, it was extremely creepy. This guy is basically mind raping Lana and in the ends she's glad that he's honest with her. Uh, wtf? Plus, Holly Harold just bores me as a writer.

Whisper- I loved Pilot, X-Ray, Heat (yes, Heat), but I found this exteremly disappointing for introducing a new power. I'm glad Pete finally plays more than a minor roll in an episode, but this was an odd FOTW to say the least.

Resurrection- Bland.

Gone- Boring.

Recruit- I was bored to tears. I would have switched back and forth between "Lost," but as I was taping it.. Anywho, it was a bit of a disappointment.

Hehe, I feel out of place, but I found "Drone" rather amusing in an odd sort of way. I didn't really mind "Nocture either."

Eek, I have a long list.

[Smallville2322]

I hated MAGNETIC!!!! It was so pointless. I liked Recruit but it let me down some. Whisper had good potentional but let me down. But I basicly like all of the episodes so far!

[Smallville2322]

I didn't like Bound

[Cal_el_AL]

I didn't care too much for Krypto.... They should of made it a Christmas episode and it would have been better...

[luke=143]

i dint like redux, the one with martha's dad and the really old girl who sucked life out of people.

dint like reaper, the grim reaper dude was a horrible idea.

the one with scabby abby was crap but i like the first Clark save Lois.

i agree with too many people not liking heat and whisper to me, those episodes rock, desiree atkins was hot, and was tht the first actual pete story apart from duplicity wen he finally finds out the secret, finally.

[hottietom]

I LIKE(sorry caps was on) i likeheat and whisper!! they were cool.........hehe heat-cool........sorry that was corny..........uhh......an episode i didn't like huh? i guess the only one was nocturine.........redux was GREAT at the beginning with swimming.........hehe clark in swim trunks.........gotta love it

[chlark fan]

The only episodes I truly did not like are: 'Krypto', 'Sacred' and 'Lucy'. Out of those three, my least favorite was 'Lucy'.

[hottietom]

i liked krypto cuz it had the feel of season two/three and sacred was hmm.........intresting..........i haven't seen lucy................

[chlark fan]

You don't wanna see Lucy ;) :p

BTW hottietom, my avatar is from the episode 'Devoted' from this season. I tried to pm you a reply but it said your inbox is full. :)

[ilovelex]

worst episodes.
season 1 has to be hothead, craving and drone.
season 2: redux, dichotic, precipice and accelerate
season3: extinction, asylum, truth nad talisman
season 4: facade, SPELL (worst episode ever), bound and unsafe

[Clark021]

Worst episode EVER was Suspect for me, with Visitor coming in close second.

[hottietom]

is suspect the one where someone shoots lionel?? if so i don't like that one either..........

[drwood]

Worst episodes (note, I haven't seen Spell yet):

1. Redux
2. Velocity
3. Precipice
4. Craving
5. Visitor

[loistickyfingerz]

By far the one episode that just sticks out in my mind as the absolute worst is Prodigal.

Man, it was horrid! The ending, where Clark was crawling in the vent-system made no sense what-so-ever! Why on earth would he choose to do that when someone being in danger usually doesn't stop him from bursting in and stopping it.

And the "twist" ending was just pathetic! I felt like the actors were doing the best they could with a rag for a script on that one.

Craving was pretty bad, too.

[~..::NeonBunny::..~]

Season 1: Metamorphosis, Hothead, Cool, Craving, Kinetic, Reaper, Drone, Crush

Season 2: Nocturne, Redux, Dichotic, Suspect, Visitor, Precipice, Witness, Accelerate

Season 3: Magnetic, Whisper, Hereafter, Velocity, Obsession, Resurrection,

Season 4: Facade, Spell, Bound, Unsafe, Pariah, Recruit, Krypto


^ Not that I hate these. They're just not eps that I'd be interested in seeing more than a couple times.

[sherkhan]

reaper and krypto

[Alicia22]

I have to say dat I hate da episodes which have people in that are compeltly pointless 2 da story, i mean people like adam and alicia.... they aren't main characters but I like watching episodes about them cause they actually fit into the whole smallville story and there is a point of them being there I mean take craving for example the whole episode sucked cause no ones really interested in sum girl who really has no part in the story the only good bit was at the end with Lana and Clarck celebrating Lanas birthday.

[ckfan]

Hothead, Lucy and Spirit come to mind.

[hottietom]

OMG!! how can you hate spirit???? that was like the best epi next to onyx!!!!!!!!

and it the funniest one i have ever seen!!!

[Golfer1986]

The one in season 1 with the fat girl and the kryptonite.


Right now, the cooks of the show _ the Powers that Be _ are following a recipe that isn't going to work.

"Smallville" this week was not only boring, but laughable. Literally, I laughed several times during "Craving" because the plot just got so ridiculous. And it's all the same old bad stuff.

To wit:

* So Jody starts eating the krypto-veggies and becomes a waif. But why did this happen now and all of a sudden? Hasn't she been eating those veggies all her life? It also seems like Jody and her dad are produce farmers, and thus, sell those veggies to other people. How come the thinning act hasn't happened to anyone else?
* The Scooby-dooing hit an all-time high of complete unbelievability. The dialogue went something like this:

Clark: Jody was acting weird today, stuffing herself with those Ho-Hos.
Chloe: You know she lives near a crater caused by the meteor shower.
Clark: I bet somehow the meteor affected the soil, which Jody and her dad use to grow vegetables. Jody was eating a lot of vegetables for her diet. Now she's a thin freak. But she's still hungry and sucking the fat out of deer and people for sustenance!
* Lana: How can someone so pretty, popular and nice not have any friends? At least, besides Whitney and Clark? Doesn't she have any girlfriends? What about her former fellow cheerleaders? She's at this huge bash in her honor, and all she can do is mope that Clark didn't show? I don't know maybe I just don't get someone like Lana. I was pretty much a geek in high school. Maybe someone else can explain what her deal is.

[MsSullivan]

a tie for me between lucy krypto ageless redux

[Shadowknight]

Facade I tried to watch it twice but it was waaaaaaaaaaay to boring and i had to turn it

[Topper]

Magnetic, hands down.

[Mr.Kal-El]

There are quite a few season 1 episodes that I'm not too fond of. Redux in Season 2 just sucked. I think my least favorite episode of all time is also Magnetic. The episode was redundant in a few ways and was a disappointment after two great episodes like Perry and Relic. Talisman and Velocity weren't my favorites either. I really have no complaints about anything in Season 4, some of the stuff was boring, but meh.

[Warrior Angel]

I think Drone, Craving, and Nocturne were probably the weakest episodes as far as the series is concerned.

As far as Talisman goes, I think I'm one of the few who finds that episode to be one of my favorite because it delt with a lot of foreshadowing for the future, and it also kind of helped you realize that the Kawatchee (SP?) legend was derived from their encounters with the incoming Kryptonians.

[Dannyblue1]

The three worst eps of season 4, in order of airing.


"Spell". My ability to like and hate something at the same time played a hand here. On the one hand, I found some of the stuff that happened funny and entertaining, and KK was great as Isobel. But so much that happened was just dumb. Overall, the story seemed thin and weak, and there were plot holes and inconsistencies liberally sprinkled throughout the ep.

"Pariah". Just not well written. Typically bad FOTW. And some of the dialog was just horrible. I actually found myself wincing in pain at some of the things the characters were saying.

"Ageless." Or, as I like to call it, "The Sophomore Class Does Smallville." There was something downright amaturish about this episode. This is when I came to the realization that the PTB just don't care. There's no way anyone could've read that script and not seen it needed serious revision. But, apparantly, they just couldn't be bothered to put in the extra effort.

[Gator5]

Ageless made me feel dumber after watching it. I was like why did I waiste my time. What did that have to do with anything going on in the story?

[aqua]

Season One: Metamorphosis, Jitters, Kenetic, Reaper, Drone

Season Two: Nocturne, Redux, Dichotic, Visitor, Precipice, Witness

Season Three: Magnetic, Whisper, Velocity, Resurrection

Season Four: Gone, Spell, Bound, Scare, Recruit, Krypto, Ageless

[crn]

Ageless. What were they thinking?!

[Addictedtosmllvill]

awww... I liked pariah.... Well, just the Chloe parts...

I think that it's ageless. I think they just wanted to make the commercials of Lana and Clark with a baby becasue I have a friend who watched the episode to see if the baby was theirs.

[smallville_lynx101]

i say rogue, i thought it was boring.

yeah, rogue, hug, and zero. just couldn't follow it...

[KANE POUND $QUAD]

redux, magnetic, spell, lucy

[ckfan]

I don't understand why so many people hate Magnetic. It wasn't great, but it was a decent, watchable episode. Same with Velocity. Many people hated it, but I thought it was actually one of the few that actually looks at how difficult it is for Clark to have friends and why, and shows some real tough choices for Clark. I thought it was a necessary episode.

Anyway, for me the absolute worst were Lucy, Krypto and Spirit. Boring, ridiculous stories, bad writing and bad acting. Ageless, Forever and Pariah are close behind. (Can you tell I didn't like Season 4?)

[LifeFirst]

^^Yeah I thought Velocity was one of the best episodes in Season 3. The part where Adam's eyes started bleeding was just chilling.

The worst I've ever seen was SLUMBER...what WAS that? The first 20 minutes were great, the teaser was awesome, but then when The Traveler I just started couldn't take it seriously. He looked so corny.


But some of the worst episodes were really in season 1 (Hothead, X-Ray, Craving, Drone)....embarrassing and pitiful.

[Addictedtosmllvill]

I think people don't like Magnetic because it was a bad FOTW episode in the middle of a great season. I think people don't like velocity because we were so excited that Sam jones III got an episode and it was so dissapointing.

[xrayvision]

The single episode I really just disliked the most was Gone. It was such a stupid episode with too many plot holes, too much BS, Clark was made to look like a weakling, and many more things that were just too stupid to believe. I really felt ripped off with this episode, and it was only the 2nd for the 4th season. I'm a big fan, and this was just a major disappointment.

Krypto, Recruit and Ageless also blew (for me anyway). I even liked Drone better than these, and that's saying something. That's because Drone was the first episode I ever saw, and I disliked it so much that I didn't watch again until sometime during the 2nd season, which hooked me. I still missed some episodes every now & then (too bad since they were sooo good back then).

Anyway, I hope the 5th season makes up for S4. Hopefully Pete will return mid season as a regular, or at least as a semi regular and then return full time next year.

[cayayofm]

The worst episode of Smallville have to be "Ageless".

[NotTodayPete]

ageless was the only episode I didn't like, even the commercials for it were lame. Clark and Lana are parents, Yawn.

[commencement_rox]

i think reaper and nocturne sucked they had no purpose in the story

[ryb]

Redux, without a doubt.

Never, ever, ever re-edit an episode for viewing in a season past the one it was meant to be shown in. But, hey, at least Lineage made up for it.

[EricN68]

Krypto was the worst, in my opinion. I can't stand to watch even a part of it.

[spreedom]

Definitely "Ageless." What a waste of an episode.

[vikingjedi]

Cool, Jitters, Reaper, and Drone (haven't seen Craving yet)

[thmallville]

Here is my top 11..
1. Unsafe- I know I'm being immature, but that grossed me out
2. Drone- wow, I am SO afraid of bees now. *sarcasm*
3. Redux- incredibly weak filler episode
4. Skinwalker- *yawn*
5. Lineage- Clark said "grandad" way too much
6. Nocturne- it had no affect on the show
7. Velocity- sooooooo boring
8. Metamorphasis- Lana in a cocoon was odd
9. Magnetic- Lana was an ass here
10. X-Ray- poorly written
11. I forgot... sorry.
I actually liked Craving and Ageless...how odd I am. :)

[scoobycookies]

Ageless was the worst, it seemed so pointless.

[lzpoof]

Originally posted by scoobycookies

the ENTIRE point of ageless was to show present Lana and Clark as if they were Martha and Jon Kent. A chance for the orphans who were taken in to return the favor to someone else.

It should also have been used as a plot device to show Lana and clark getting closer but , small jokes notwithstanding, they kinda failed in that. There was a lot of room for emotional attachment between Lana and Clark and they barely scratched the surface, preferring instead to focus on their attachment to the baby solely. I mean if they ahd mentioned at all the fact that Lana or Clark would have been happy with rasiing a child with the other one it would have added some actual foundation and legitimacy to how serious they made their relationship out to be.

[President_Luthor]

Redux and Drone are on my perennial list of stinkers. Youth-sucking cheerleader? Bee-Girl? Don't get me wrong -- both eps. are extremely funny -- as in 'bad' funny. But they're hardly storylines worthy of the future Man of Steel.

Magnetic seems ridiculous. The freak's main ability other than magnetism is to turn Lana into a hussy felon. Watchable only if you get a kick out of seeing Clark try to explain away his early 'stalker' tendencies. "Did you follow me here, Clark?" :lol: It kinda makes his "Splinter" possessiveness seem THAT much creepier.

Devoted (ie Kryp-Tuck): Clark plays football. Slutty cheerleaders spike the Kool-Aid into K-Aid to bend their boyfriends to do their will. Chloe cheers! The point to this cheese-fest of an episode: none. That's what happens when you take Lex out of any meaningful role in an ep. :lol:

In spite of the above, I do have a high tolerance for cheese. Everyone needs dairy, you know. That's why I found Spell and now, Thrist, to be absolutely hilarious. No true point to those eps. (Clark is affected by magic. Ok, it's on the record? Sorority vampires ... the show now has an 'official' Halloween episode.). Just be grateful they do have good episodes to wash the taste of the cheese out ;)

[Anomalyster]

Something like this I'm guessing:

S1 - 107 Craving, 110 Shimmer, 114 Zero
S2 - 206 Redux, 210 Skinwalker, 215 Prodigal
S3 - 307 Magnetic, 311 Delete, 315 Resurrection
S4 - 410 Scare, 414 Krypto, 420 Ageless

[Stat1c]

How could somebody hate "Zero"? =\\\\
It's one of the best season 1 eps, the most dark and terrific story.

There is my personal blacklist, I don't even know what's the worst in it -
Season 1 -
Stray - stupid childish story but the paradox is - with the most bodycount in one ep =)))))
Season 2 -
I was truly scared when watched "Nocturne" and the next one - "Redux". I thought this is the end, show won't get better.
Dichotic - very weak episode full of dumb goofs like how the hell Ians manage to drag Lana and Chloe from the school in the middle of day without even any weapons to threat them. They should just scream like banshees. "Seriously weak, dude"(c)
Season 3 -
Whisper - maybe because this one was after magnificent Shattered+Asylum - but it definately sucks. Stupid poor acted "Screamer", everybody acting like morons with this "sharpening pencils" story and it was just dull. That's odd, becausy every episode with Clark getting new power was better than average.
Legacy - absolutely stupid episode with the most cheesy dialog and story about.....nothing =\ And absolutely wasted second appearence of the Dr. Swann. Plus stupid fight of Johnatan fresh from the heart operation versus Lionel dying from liver desease =\\
Season 4 -
Ageless, of course. Combination of "Ryan" + big boom. And death of this megababy's father was more like joke. He'd better just slipped on banana and break his neck when they met.
Not in blacklist but very close to it - Krypto, Magnetic, Velocity.

[BadToad]

Dichotic, Magnetic, Lucy and Ageless come immediately to mind.

[TomBenton]

I've still only seen up to the halfway point of Season Two, but so far I'd say that the worst episode of the show is "Skinwalkers". It just didn't feel like a Smallville episode to me.

[Son of Kal-El20]

To me the worst episode ever is definitely 'Spirit'. The whole thing sucked. Even though Kristin, Tom, Annette, and Allison's acting were great, the episode still sucked. It was definitely Kal-El's worst adventure. And it had the worst villian ever( that girl was really annoying).

[Stat1c]

that girl was really annoying
Well, she supposed to =)
And for Martha's dance everything could be forgiven.

[Jlvsclrk]

I found it really interesting to read this, because I'd never realised WHY some episodes were disliked so much. Well, some just plain suck, but then in other cases, its because the show was on a roll and then TPTB shifted direction and didn't follow through on a story line that you found compelling. I realise now that's part of why I dislike Aqua so much - Hidden was so great, I wanted to follow up on that arc, and instead I'm supposed to care about Aquaman showing up in town? Not to mention the acting was considerably below par: I think the guest star delievered quite possibly the worst and certainly the most wooden performance in all of Smallville's history.

That said, I'd have to say Whisper / Ageless / Redux / Suspect.

[Watching Smallville]

Season one: Hourglass. Even though I loved Cassandra and her visions, I was so annoyed by the Lana storyline, it's my least favorite ep of the season. Actually, none of the FOTW eps appealed to me. Sometimes I'm amazed I got through Season 1 still liking Smallville, but there were so many great eps. Jitters was the only FOTW episode I liked. Oh, I liked Crush. But this is supposed to be about what I didin't like. :mad:

Season Two: Nocturne. To this day, I can't watch this episode. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just want to throw something at the TV. Soooo corny. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Season Three: Magnetic. The only episode of the season that added nothing to the development of anyone's story arc. What a great season. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Season Four: Ageless. Yikes! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Season Five: Well, this is hard. Even when I don't particularly care for an episode, there's something about it I do like. And I've watched this season's eps several times and feel no need to skip any of them. I guess my least fave is a tie between Aqua and Thirst. Both too campy and suffering from some acting glitches. :\

[boogalou86]

I going to get blasted for this one....Aqua.

[ZoZo]

Aqua or Spell or even Spirit

[Jellie]

season 1 -craving (the only time pete gets a girlfriend and what a surprise she ia a fotw :lol: ). I thought this ep really sucked. I didnt like reaper much either (worse than usual fotw). I enjoyed season 1 a lot

season 2 - great season overall (possibly my favorite so far.) If i had to choose 1 ep it would have to be redux

season 3 whisper. Oh wow clark wore glasses here. That wasnt enough to save this episode for me. The fotw was really bad here aswell. Plus why put glasses on clark if you are just gonna take em off again ??

season 4 - bound and lucy

season 5 - so far thirst (thats the only ep i consider a crap one so far (and it was better than bound and lucy imo )

Season 1- It has to be 'Drone' doesn't it? She can control bees- what a useless FOTW. Its very close between this and 'Craving'.

Season 2- I didn't like 'Dichotic' or 'Redux' as they seemed like fillers which hurt an other wise great season.

Season 3- Erm.....'Delete' was horrible.

Season 4- 'Bound' because I hate the way that it showed Lex as a sex crazed maniac. Also of course, 'Ageless' stank more than a babies nappy.

Season 5- 'Aqua' because I was hoping for another 'Run' but ended up feeling dissapointed. He was a crap actor too.

most of the episodes i did not like are in season 4. they are spell, bound, lucy, and ageless.

Lucy

I mean - what the?

[Emery]

Season 1 - Craving. Come on. Who thought of this? This is little kids Goosebumps type storyline.

Season 2 - Nocturne. Just a terrible episode.

Season 3 - Magnetic. This episode gets boring really fast.

Season 4 - Krypto. What was the point of this....really?

Season 5 - Exposed. This episode didn't have enough action in it for me, or a good story at all.

Season Two: Nocturne. To this day, I can't watch this episode. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just want to throw something at the TV. Soooo corny. :mad: :mad: :mad: [/B]

Oh, that's good, I thought it was just me.

I would have to agree with you on this one

[MBCorp]

Season 1: Reaper for sure, although it does have that amusing scene with Dominic in Lex's trunk.

Season 2: Redux, Dichotic, Visage, Fever, Visitor, Witness.

Season 3: Magnetic, Velocity, Whisper, and Forsaken.

Season 4: Gone, Facade, Devoted, Bound, Jinx, Pariah, Recruit, Krypto, Lucy, AGELESS (Worst. Episode. Ever), Forever.

Season 5: Aqua, Thirst, Exposed, Fanatic, Reckoning (ties with Ageless as being the worst episode ever), Vengeance (I know that one was popular but besides the Lionel scenes and the sad ending I hated it).
