This episode was awesome. Ya for Chloe action! Clark's emotion on Chloe's forgetting Clark was priceless!!

I can't say more about Dean Cain. He was aweeeesoooommmeeeee. They left possiblity open for Dean Cain to come back to Smallville. This is getting good. I don't want to see that they kill off this character. His character was so cool, it's fit him at all

I liked that Clark used his powers infront of Lana like that.

But my question is, did he steal that maple syrup?
He can superspeed TO the store, but he can't superspeed the giving money to the cashier process. It would have taken longer than that.

I give it a solid 9. There were some things that were just brushed over that should have had some screen time.

Other than that the episode was great. Good guest star and some nice sub-plot progression (Kara being a threat).

It was Dean Cain. It's right after the Al Gough and Millar Miles end credit, you will have to stay until the some end credits finished, then CR foundation plug will come up. I already caught it after they air in A-Channel West.

I gave this episode an 8. One of the things that continues to impress me about this season - this episode included - is how the characters are featured more and more instead of just a Freak of the Week that we will probably never see again. It was nice to see them going all the way back to season one for a character that I thought we would never see again, and for using her in a way that didn't seem totally forced.

Overall, while this episode a few minor problems, I found it immensely enjoyable overall and I thought Dean Cain did a great job with his role.

Good episode. So far season 7 has been good, except for the terrible Fierce.

xaosthry
10-18-2007, 07:10 PM
Gave it an 8

It is kind of irritating how Chloe suddenly knows Lana is alive, and how Kara suddenly knows everyone. i.e. Lois. However, it did help with moving the plot along faster instead of "Hi, nice to meet you."
The break up was heartbreaking, but I doubt thats what she went there to do. He started asking questions and Chloe didn't want to start lying to him. I have to give her credit for that. Its crap about it not being about Kara, the way she stormed out like that dropping the letter.
Lana-- Yeah, she's not the innocent girl she is pretending to be. I like the darker side of Lana. Going back to the secrets and lies of Clana is irritating, but her character development will make it worth it.

10-18-2007, 07:10 PM
Gave the episode a 10--here's why. Very strong story. Deceit is a powerful tool in building a story arc and its caused us to really question the integrity of three pivotal characters--Lana, Martian Manhunter, and Kara. Chloe's inability to talk about her new found talent is less deceit than fear. Never the less, this episode is head and shoulders above most last year. Dean Cain made a great villain--hope to see him again, and Lex is as usual pretty difficult to figure out. Just when you want to hate him...Great music again. Like last week with Mocheeba's Gain the World, this piece on lying worked well to end the show. All in all, great job.

10-18-2007, 07:22 PM
One word: KICKASS!!!!!!!

The major plot points were on target, DC's villianous turn was spectacular, the Chloe-Jimmy-Kara triangle predictably messy and emotional, even Clarkie's emoting over Chloe says more about him than wat was said in past seasons.

So MM spilling out some FUGLY House of El's dirty laundry is making me more curious about how fraked-up Clark's Kryptonian family is. Betcha that the normal Kent family will prove to be a godsend to Clark.

And LANA, what an evil ***** she's become, lying to Clark, then having Lex under surveillance, boy no wonder her relationships crash and burn.

Lex's dirt catching up to him, and his feeble attempts at redemption will eventually backfire and we'll have the bad-ass Lex we all know and love.

Finally, Kara, Kara, Kara, boy is this girl something else? She cam be sweet and clumsy one minute [eating Chinese with Jimmy] or a REAL ***** the next [her confrontation with Clark and MM in the barn], which is the real Kara? Or is she both at the same time?

All in all it was one of the best of season 7 so far. I hope there's more where that comes from.

I give this Ep a 9.5 out of 10.

Two things I didn't like:

1) It was never explained how Knox is an immortal.

2) MM's don't ask, don't tell line seemed more like "we don't know what to do w/ Knox, so we just won't say what happened."

I'm hoping that will be explained if CK comes back (which I hope he does).

Other than that, loved it. 9/10

Yes, with Lana and Clark they don't have the spark they used to. I'm sure Clark knows she is lying to him. He's not an idiot. (sometimes)

When Chloe was on the table and said there is someone I would like to see, and Knox brought up "high school crush" made me wonder.

I think that if they put the line what happened to Curtis Knox, it's big closure to his character, but they didn't, they did open the door for DC to come back for his return.

Damn good episode, the best of Season 7 so far. A lot of the storylines came together nicely. I'm not a fan of Clark/Lana but it was fine tonight and I like Lana's new storyline. Manhunter's confrontation's with Kara and the Chloe/Jimmy stuff was good too.

Very cool seeing Dean Cain tonight. I thought he did a very good job and his character's history was intriguing. It would be cool to see him return. Nice touch with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation promo at the end.

This episode was worth it alone for Knox's line...

I gave it an 8, it was pretty good. There was a nice mixture of storytelling along with an assortment of emotions to deal with. There were a few things they brushed over (Lexanna divorce settlement, Kara knowing about Rachel Ray, where in the world is Dr Knox) etc.
I didn’t like that they brought Lex down a few notches; he seemed very weak in his persona. Even Clark is in the back seat when it comes to coming full circle in dealing with the bad guys. I think they are trying to development a level of intrigue for Lana so much that it is at the expense of making Lex & Clark’s characters inadequate. I hope it’s worth it in the long run.
So who is Lana working for, because 10 million can only buy so many black bad-ass outfits and then you need more cash to maintain that hardware arsenal she had.
It was a big improvement from last week. If the show can stay on this level, it can be a strong season for them.

While she's on Earth, Kara is just absorbing all of of our culture and incorporating it into her behavior pattern so she can fit in.

I saw that as a sign that she is acclimated to this planet.

Awesome episode!!!! Clark/CK's confrontation was terrific, and the, now famous Smallville drawn out silence at the end of the fight!! MMHR/Kara's discussions were interesting, more clues as to Chloe's immortality/power was cool, and the breakdown of the Chloe/Jimmy relationship was nicely done. Allison did a great job showing such emotion!!! WOW!!! :cool: The CR foundation plug was nice, but I wish they could have gotten a take where it wasn't so obvious that Dean was reading lines off of a cue card. This was definately the best episode yet!! :) :) :) :)

10-18-2007, 08:31 PM
why oh why must people call me on Thursday nights....I left twice during the last 15 minutes because of my phone. But my thoughts on what I saw

The Good
~Dean Cain....soo good (minus the cue cards at the end :P)
~Clark...."you're going to forget me"...I loved that part (and TW in general)
~MM vs Kara...aside from a "woohoo" at the return of MM....it's a fun sub-plot

The Meh
~Kara and Jimmy....I'm reserving judgment for sure (don't usually like relationships that start by breaking up a standard couple)

The Bad
~Lana....it's like she's playing house with Clark and spy with Lex.....I just don't like it and am over her in general

Overall...well done....8/10

10-18-2007, 08:34 PM
I really was beginning to not want the Chlark. Thinking Chloe needed to move on with her life and get her own thing going. Since tptb in their infinite wisdom, moved Lois into the spotlight of the DP, and broke up the ONLY real relationship she has ever had.
Bring on the Chlark. This girl needs some kind of retribution for the hell they are putting her through this year. Give her the man of her dreams.

what i liked best about CURE was the Chlark and also Clark being forced to face reality thru Dr. Knox's eyes; that he will outlive everyone, especially girlfriends with LL initials, and that along with some other info he picked up, seems to pretty much put a damper on how he looks at Lana. I also like the almostKiss between Kara and Jimmy.

I thought the exact same thing! There can be only one...Anyway, about Smallville. I gave this epie an 8. It was definitely better than last week's, but it started off a little rocky for me, especially with MM's abrupt appearance and warning about Kara. That seemed completely off, and the timing was very weird. Kristin's acting in that opening scene didn't impress me, either, but the episode got better as it went along. Dean Cain was awesome, as I knew he would be. I liked that eventhough the story wasn't totally centered on Clark that they actually had him in a lot of the scenes. The crew has been pretty bad about that in the past. So, let's hope the rest of the season goes this way and not the way of Fierce.

I felt like tonights episode was returning to the Smallville I fell in love with. I thought the previous season 7 episodes were moving way to quicky, and it didn't feel like the right pace. But tonight, it finally slowed down and allowed new story arches to unfold real nicely.

The sub-plot of Chole and Jimmy breaking up over her secret was sad, but interresting. The story building around Kara being good or bad and Martian Manhunter being in the middle was also very intense. Finally having Lana see Clark and know all about him is fun to see, and the story of her hiding some things from Clark is ALSO very fitting for what lies ahead in their destiny. He's starting to question her morals and honesty, and she finally lied to him for a change.

All in all, I'd say we have a GREAT season unfolding. LOVED IT.

Overall a 9.5. Loved the episode. Kinda sad about the Chimmy relationship being over but I could tell it was coming. Ever since Chloe discovered she had a Meteor power she had been acting way too much like Clark and in keeping her secret to herself so that was bound to happen. I can definitely tell Dean Cain's Character "Dr. Curtis Knox" has got to be the infamous villian Vandal Savage. There weren't enough anvils they could have dropped at the introduction of his character. However I love the interaction between Kara and Jimmy. It is so cute to see them together. I'm so glad Martian Manhunter and Kara continue to plant seeds of doubts in Clark's mind. First Kara plants the thing about staying on the farm and growing old with Lana not being reality and now Martian Manhunter plants about trusting others. Then Lex comes in and tells Clark that Lana stole 10 billion dollars, OMG. The look of doubt Clark had on his face when Lana was making her lying speech at the end was awesome. You could definitely see that Clark is doubting being with Lana more and more. Hopefully he will see her slimy scales before its too late. I can't wait til Clark and Kara mend things and learn to trust each other. The suspense is killing me. BTW where's my Lois. LOIS we need you back really bad. I'm barely hanging on here.

I LOVED it when Clark seemed so upset that Chloe would forget him!!! TW and AM are such excellent actors!!!

I was also intrigued by Chloe's statement:

Knox: "What do you know about true love?"
Chloe: "I know that there's someone that I want to live to see again."

When one thinks of "Chloe" and and "true love" one automatically thinks of Clark NOT JIMMY. I truly believe she was talking about Clark, however I was thrown off by her note to Jimmy, something about "he should be the one to remind her why they belong together".

I honestly hope their break up sticks. I never liked Jimmy....he's to schmarmy for me. I mean c'mon, if Chloe can't be with Clark then please give her a real man!

I know that D. knox was going to put Chloe's heart in that woman and then the woman would live forever but I just assumed it took Chloe's heart + all of her other "special" body parts to create immortality....not just Chloe's heart alone. Help me!!

At Last! Cure was the best show this season! I was beginning to think SV had lost its spark.
Chloe and Clark's conversation about her trying to become normal was a heartbreaker with Clark's reaction to her forgetting about him.
I have to say I have always loved the references to past shows, example: Sasha and the bees.
As much as I think Chloe and Jimmy aren't meant to be together it was heart wrenching to see them breaking up. Boy, AM can act circles around some other females on that show, in my opinion.
Love the Clark saving Lex once again deal and finally it coming out that Lana has a stash of cash! Lana has been acting strange since the season opener. Is she another clone or not????
Kara and Jimmy, mmmmmm time will tell. Boy can she fly though LOL.
Last but not least Dean Cain, WOW! What a message to Clark and Chloe when Dean's lady love died.
All in all great show tonight.

The flight SFX (Did Kara overdo Taco Bell?)
Way too much "Offscreenville".
When did Chloe tell Clark about reviving Lois?
When did Lana tell Chloe she was alive and back in town?
Not enough Smallville during "Commercalville".

I think from now on I will record Smallville instead of watching it "live" so I can skip the commercials and save almost 15 minutes or so.

Now didn't you say that you had a DVR? Well good grief do the math!

1. If you have the DVD's you know that each episode is 42+ minutes long. So what happens to the other 17 minutes? Duh?!
2. Start using that damn DVR and quit *****ing about the commercials.
3. Shelby is just a dog, who cares if he/she is on the show.
4. Chloe told Clark in episode 4, yeah that's right episode 4, that she saved Lois.
5. Commercialville? See above post about that.
6. I don't think that Chloe and Lana have had a scene together since she got back from China.

Other than that I pretty muched like the episode. I gave it a 10. But I liked last week's episode except those stupid Krypto freak grils and I gave it a nine and every episode this year a 9.

The thing that gets me is that Lana can do no RIGHT! Now I'm not a big Clana fan but good grief she's finally has a fairly decent plot line going on right now so people cut her some slack.

Huh? :confused: 10 mil is BIG money. Invested right can turn into even BIGGER money.

I give it a 10. Had everything that makes Smallville great.

I do think they could have found at least one ex-Smallville meteor freak actress who was available without having to resort to a recast of Sasha. The actress they picked did a pretty good impersonation, however.

Great “Black Flag” line…makes good product placement as well.

Is DC’s voice deeper than it used to be? I watch my LnC DVDs all the time and it seems lower; maybe it’s just an acting choice.

We get the GAS station for the third time since Noir…is it their new favorite outdoor set?

Seems like there were fewer commercials since the first 3 episodes.

Kara’s been watching too much TV especially Food Network (and Beauty and the Geek last week). Great white top though.

Does Lana’s current character remind anyone of her in Labyrinth?

I’m sure Clark left money on the counter for the syrup.

Clark didn’t have to strain much to stop Kara’s punch (or the way he threw her to the ground in the Kara episode). Love KK’s reaction when she found out MM is from Mars (very natural reaction especially since a man from Mars is such a cliché since War of the Worlds, little green men, etc.)

Is Lex trying to protect his 33.1 work or actually selflessly saving meteor freaks? Or both?

I notice they cut the last bloody part of the Director’s cut. I wonder if they had trouble getting that past the censors.

Is it a coincidence that all of Knox’s victims look good in a bra?

Should Clark really be breezing into a newsroom filled with reporters? Even though they can’t see him superspeed in, they should notice that he wasn’t standing there a split second before.

Kara and Jimmy are going to have a problem relating…Jimmy uses so many slang/cultural references she’s going to have a hard time catching up but I love her “bummer” line; plus the “Martian’s use infra-red, silly” line. Kara definitely has Jimmy wrapped around her finger. Is Jimmy going to keep the piece of paper Kara wrote her cell number on just like Chloe’s napkin?

Terrific “memory” scene between AM and TW. Since she’s writing the note to Jimmy before she talks to Clark, I’m thinking Jimmy was the one she was going to miss (as she mentions in the operating scene). After seven seasons, it should be obvious that there is no Chlark in our future with or without a Chimmy breakup.

I think they chose the white shirt for DC just so we could see the bullet holes and blood in such a darkly lit scene.

I guess Jimmy’s going to teach Kara how to pretend to be human but is Kara going to have a clue what “Area 51” means.

Great to see Clark and Lex working together just like old times but now being so open about Lex’s illicit activities. Interesting how Lex had to sub for Chloe since she was kind of busy.

Love the Jack the Ripper dialog. I think this is the third time Chloe’s been poked in the chest (Truth, Freak with heat vision, and now Cure).

Favorite line: “Your powers might be far beyond those of mortal men. You’ve met your match.”

Really enjoyed the comparison of Knox’s mortality with Clark’s. We’ve had two straight episodes of someone telling Clark he’s going to outlive the one’s he loves (twice in this episode alone).

I think the don’t ask, don’t tell was appropriate…leaves Knox’s return open ended.

Kara and Clark have some serious trust issues. I think it gave her a good excuse for missing the next few episodes.

I think Lana is just trying to protect herself from Lex but it should be interesting character development going forward. Obviously, Clark would not agree with her methods. She definitely has Lex’s knack for sidestepping an issue by blaming someone else. She’s learned a lot. Maybe we have a junior Lex.

Great waterworks from AM. Best I’ve seen since Sarah Michelle Gellar on Buffy for tears week in, week out.

Nice public service announcement but obvious using cue cards…ED’s was better and TW’s with Christopher Reeve was awesome.

Looking forward to next week. They can just use the same rig they use to make Kara fly but without having to hide the ropes with CGI.

I gave it a 10 because of Dean Cain I though that he was great especially when the women of his life died with the tears and all. Tom as usual did another great job as Clark. Can't tell what is going on with Lex I keep getting mixed up with the direction they seem to be heading in.

AM, wow what an outstanding job she did just awesome.

All in all outstanding episode.

Take care,

I actually liked this episode!

And here I thought it was gonna be corny like Fierce.
And that they were gonna give Dean a crappy role.
Wow, nice job, writers!

Unfortunately, I just had to watch it in my living room,
so I couldn't turn the volume up too loud.
So, I'll probably have to watch all over again, but that's
fine with me.

I think I'm really getting to dislike Lana now.
Lying to Clark, bad Lana!! :(

I felt sad (my eyes were watering) when I thought
they were going to kill Chloe. I seriously thought
that they would. :D But they didn't, thankfully.
However, no more Chimmy.
This season seems to be getting worse and worse
for one of my favorite characters.

Nice opening with MM, too. I like him here, and now
that I think about it, he was kinda cool (albeit boring
at times) in JLU, too.
It's been too long since I've seen that amazing cartoon,
I need a refresher.

I, too, LOVED this episode. It was Awesome because of so much stuff that was going on that was so revealing about the characters...except Lex, of course. Not sure what his 'true' motives are, just like with Lionel's character. YES, I gave it a 10! I agree, 'Xaosthry', they didn't connect all of the Dots about how everyone is all caught up with who is who and what's been going on, but the story still was one of Progression, IMO. I enjoyed the story too much to complain about anything that seemed a little amiss. I totally enjoyed seeing Dean Cain. He was an impressive villain...Great job. It was sad about Chimmy, Jimmy has tried so hard to ignore some of the walls Chloe had in place the whole time they've been a couple. It's sad seeing Clark contemplate his possible long & lonely future, too. I'm kinda sorry that there's so much 'seeming' dysfunction in the House of El. But, overall, since this episode pulled on my heartstrings, it gave me what I was hoping for; Complete enjoyment tonight.
Oh, and about All the Commercial time...I completely agree. It seems like too much. Actually, there are many times when there is only 40 min. of actual storytime and 20 min. of commercials! It's ridiculous! Most of the time it's 18 min. of commercials. I ALWAYS tape it eventhough my DVR tapes it for me, because I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Sometimes the DVR recording misses the preview for the next week. Regardless, taping is a good idea.
Another thing...what is it that makes so many of you complain or mention it whenever 'Shelby' is not in the episode? Is it just a 'thing' for 'FurPeople'? I loved & owned several dogs while I was growing up, (cats & birds, too), but if there's no point for Shelby to be in the story, what's the problem? It's probably just 'over my head', remember I'm kinda an 'old' fan here. Don't chew me out for asking, OK?

Just got through watching the episode so I didn't go through the whole thread yet.

Overall, I really loved this episode. Best of the season so far, IMO. It was a nice change of pace from Fierce.

I think I'm immuned to Clana because in this episode, I didn't want to gag or fast forward pass the Clana scenes. Help me. Also, I think Lana is totally putting up a front and going around playing nice to all the aliens when deep down, she's freaking out. I mean did ya see how fast she got her ass up out of the kitchen when MM showed up?

Phil Morris, I <3 him. He's plays MM so well. Glad the PTB are putting hime to use since they didn't last season.

And the Kara and MM thing has me interested. I liked how the scene in the kitchen was done.

Since I'm on the subject of Kara, might as well talk about Kimmy. It doesn't interest me much, but they have more chemistry than Chimmy. The flirting was ok. Kara and Jimmy, isn't really a relationship I have interest in.

DC and MR. Boyyyy would I love to be in the middle of that sammich. DC play Knox so good. Hopefully he'll come back because I would love that.

Chloe is so desperate in this episode. I loved that Chloe told Clark off in the DP scene and that Clark was able to sense that something was wrong with her. Though there wasn't much Chlark, the few scenes we did have were good. TW and AM play well off each other. I just hope that what happened with Chloe in this episode, won't be glossed over in future episodes.

I would have really liked to see a Chlana reunion scene. *sigh*

And it's funny that the one time I see an inch of chemistry between Chimmy is when they are breaking up. AM looked gorgeous in that purple, BTW. Seriously, I hate Chimmy and I am glad that it ended but that scene was so heartbreaking. I felt for both of them. I hope they don't get back together though and hopefully they could become friends.

I had to lol, when Lex was showing all those pics of Knox back in the day to Clark. I found it too funny.

I may be missing some things but I'm not sure what at the moment.

Overall, great episode. 10/10

If I could vote 15 I WOULD! This has been... wow. This is definitely one of the very best episodes of the series. THE SERIES! Yes even though my eyes are red from mourning Chimmy. *WAH* I have to say that man... "Cure" was superb.

Dean Cain hit the ball WAY out of the park. I was on the edge of my seat the whole episode. It's just too much to name. Allison... oh Allison. My love for Chloe has quadrupled. Say the writers hate her now why don't cha!

Yeah... can't vote 15 so 10 will have to do.

I may be a straight chick, but I'm interpreting this to Chloe inadvertently flashing Clark which is more action than they've had since 'Vessel'.

Maybe if Chloe or Clark finally mustered up the courage to realize that if anyone should forgive an 'experimental see if theres chemistry kiss' it would be Lana.

She married Lex Luthor- she's in no position to judge.

There was very little I didn't like about this episode. Dean Cain was great as the villain, I just wish they could have explained his origin. The Chloe/Jimmy breakup was heart-wrenching and well acted. I'm intrigued by the tension between Kara and the Manhunter.

I'm a bit annoyed that they are turning Lana into a classic stalker. Her promise " To help those hurt by Lex" is not at all credible since she feels the need to bunker up in her " Cave of Monitors."

Dean Cain was good, but simply saying he is " Immortal" without the benefit of any back story, even a trace , comes close to jumping the shark . The only benefit I can see is the repeated emphasis on the age process difference between Clark and the other humans...Am I the only one that thought about Sean Connery's speech to Christopher Lambert in the first Highlander.." been there..heard that..moving on"

Overall I enjoyed the episode. It was great to have Dean Cain guest star. He was really creepy as the bad guy.

I wish they would have had more of a conclusion to the fight between he and Clark. I felt, they kinda stopped it short. Maybe he will return since he is immortal.

It will be interesting to see who can be trusted between Martian Manhunter and Kara.

There were some great scenes between Chloe, Jimmy, and Kara. I like the chemistry between Jimmy and Kara. They are cute together. I was actually sad at the end when Jimmy and Chloe broke up. We'll see what happens.

I thought it was ok. I'd like to see Dean's character return as a reformed character. I loved the interaction between Dean and Tom. I wish there would be more of that.

Lana....whatever. They have spent 6 years building her character and to have her enter a loft full of high-tech spy equipment and to have us believe she masterminded and controls all of it...that's just a bit out there. If they were being realistic to the story of Clark Kent becoming Superman, Lana would be a background character at best by now. Nothing against KK, but Lana isn't that important after a while, and she needs to just become Clark's friend now. It's really getting waaay too soap opera these days.

Chloe and Jimmy- that break up was forced and really came out of almost nothing. I really didn't buy that Jimmy would just walk away like that. The actors did a fantstick job, but the writing and the whole concept of it in story was very forced and awkward.

I like the tension between Kara and the MM. I also like that Kara took off. She really should be more of an occasional visitor in Clark's life anyway, not a constant presence. Otherwise, they'd be clashing all the time trying to fight the same super-villians. She can take care of a different part of the world.

When Kara flew off, I thought to myself "I hope she has an international calling plan on that cell phone."

I was expecting a great episode, and "Cure" totally delivered. It answered some questions and had me asking more.
Dean Cain - Loved him. He did a great job, but I expected that.
Lana - I really like this darker Lana, she definitely has my interest peaked.
Kimmy - Good chemistry
Chimmy - Strange that their break-up scene had me finally feeling that they really did care for each other romantically.
MM & Kara - Very interesting. Questions and I want more
Clark - Loved that he started focused on the crystal and totally dropped it to focus on Chloe.
Lex - Is he really trying to be good or just covering his butt?
Clex - Oh how I miss them. I know they can never be friends again, and don't want them to be, but I still miss the interaction between them.

Good episode. Gave it a 9! More revelations are being revealed abotu Kara and also Lana is sneaking in some surprises here and there. What is up with that monitor room of hers. It was also nice to see another Superman on the show like Dean Cain. I liked his part and it would be cool if he was a recurring character and found out more about his character.

The only thing that continues to bother me is the dialogue between Clark and Lana. It just seems so fake and now Clark is looking like one of those people in an abusive relationship who knows the other person is not sincere but is afraid to lose them. Also, Lana's old retort of "our relationship could never work with Clark keeping his secrets" is old and out of place here. She should know why he did what he did. It also seems hypocritical of her to say this when she is now doing the same thing. Seriously, kill her off or have her character becdome insane and disappear like in the comics. Enough is enough already!

Oh and umm... Where was the royal rumble between aliens? MM and Kara didn't even throw fists. Don't try to spoil the show with false information.

I gave it a 7. It needed a lot more Lexana and less Chloe Jimmy. Even though I enjoyed the Kara Jimmy Sushi Scene.

Has any spoiler come out saying that Lexana are going to get back together? Clana is too blah for me to handle.

Also, what did the latin words on the locket that Lex said?

All about Clark
10-19-2007, 10:45 AM
I gave it an 8. It was a solid episode, but it certainly didn't excite me. I liked the Kara/MM stuff. And I liked Lana at the beginning but was very dissapointed in her when she lied to Clark and Clark knew it as well. She got what she wanted and she's going to screw it all up. Not too surprised regarding the video equipment, she's clearly learned quite a bit from Lex in hiring people to do stuff for her and pay them handsomely I'm sure. She does have $10M to play with.

I think Clark knows how much Chloe means to him and I think he was really unhappy that Chloe would give that up just to be normal.

Chloe is her own worse enemy right now and proved it by ruining her relationship with Jimmy. I think he was interested in Kara, but determined to stay with Chloe. And I have to say I didn't care for Kimmy, in fact I didn't like how Kara didn't even really give Clark a chance.

I actually think "Cure" is the strongest season 7 episode so far, and a vast improvement on "Fierce"

I like how Lana is getting darker and sewing the seeds of doubt in Clark's mind. And Laura Vandervoorts acting was better than her previous episodes. I think she's definately starting to feel more comfortable in her role now. I like the way she said "Martian Manhunter" It seems like this season is just starting to feel it's feet now and moving forward finally. I gave it a 9 ;)

Also what ever happened to the Chloe/Lana friendship? Has that disappeared too?
Allison rocked this episode. I think she could carry a show on her own if she wanted too. Knox was awesome and creepy. I'm glad Chimmy is over with though I wish Chloe had ended it instead of just getting hurt. Chloe gets shafted again! (I said that last week I think). Wow, now I sound like a Chloe fan.

8/10 for me - I liked the build up of something between MM and Kara. I didn't like the strange awkwardness of Lana/CK - but then they might be doing that on purpose to later introduce that it's a Lana clone....or something.

Dean Cain was just brilliant in the ep - I hope we see more of him because MM already pointed out he can't die - which means Phantom Zone, which means he might escape :)

I loved/hated the whole Chimmy scene at the end - made me sad....I liked that ship. I want more of the old Chloe....quirkie and smart.


hahahahha Alexander - I love you avi every time I see it - makes me smile.... so fun. :(

Did anyone notice that Lana wasn't just looking at Lex's computer? She also stared at him at the very end. Are there still feelings there?

Wow, this is the first episode I have really enjoyed since the first episode. I gave it a 9 which is well up on the 4 and 5 ratings I gave to the last two episodes respectively.

I LOVED Dean Cain, he was fantastic as the evil doctor. A great performance from him and so good to see him back on the screen. Can't wait for him to stop by on Smallville again.

I LOVED the Chlimmy before the break up, they are too cute together - RIP the Chlimmy :\

Found the MM-Kara-House of El stuff very intriguing. Very keen to find out more about that - although i'm not sure how MM wouldn't have told Clark after Kara flew off, what else would they have talked about MM: 'whew glad she's gone, I can finally stop holding my stomach in' :rotfl:

I really liked Clark saying he didn't want Chloe to forget him....awww, more proof that she means more to him than she knows.

I loved Jimmy's moment with his friend 'ring that bell' - LOL

The break up was very sad at the end both actors did a fantastic job, I was so sad afterwards *sigh*

Lex working with Clark

Altogether the show just flowed better and I actually enjoyed it, it felt like the Smallville i've come to enjoy. Hopefully the writer who wrote episodes 2 & 3 has been burnt at the stake mwaahhhaha

What I didn't like:
How Chloe suddenly knew about Lana being alive and it was addressed like it was old news. Now that's something I actually wanted to see - in ONSCREENville. What next, Chloe saying to Lana "don't you just love the way Metropolis looks when Clark takes you flying over it" The audience: WTF, CLARK CAN FLY NOW??? :lol:

How the hell did Lana manage to get all that monitoring past Lex's security (OK so his security aren't the best but still). For a minute there I thought Lana actually was in the mansion, then for another minute I thought this was another Lana clone as we'd just seen her at the farm the scene before or so.

How they cut straight from the operation to Chloe going back to the daily planet. No Chlark moment - when one was really due. I was really expecting to see Chloe's disappointment that she was still a meteor freak and her fears over what's to become of her plus she came pretty close to dying just then - that must have been traumatic also Clark nearly lost her. They better give us a good Chlark moment soon it's WAAAAAYYY overdue.

Kara is way too familiar with human speech and popular culture. I did like her martian comment - finally a hint that she just stepped out of spaceship a few days ago

Anyhoo - this is the first episode I have actually enjoyed since the season started. Hopefully it continues in this vain and only gets better. I'm off to watch it again **grabs box of tissues for the Chlimmy scene**

Something about this episode didn't click with me, but I'm waiting to rewatch it to give a detailed review. Promise didn't click with me immediately either, and that was because I had a friend over who was distracting me, same with tonight. I really really liked all the Martian Manhunter/Kara/Clark stuff, but the Dean Cain/Chloe plot didn't click with me like I thought it would. I'll rewatch tonight and hopefully discover that just not paying attention was enough to make it not as spectacular as I though. Even so, my current score is still a solid 8/10, an improvement from last week's 7.5/10.

this episode was good, gave it a 9. DEan was killer, i hope he'll be back since he is immortal and probably got some tricks up his sleeve. MM vs Kara just makes you wonder what is coming up for the rest of the season. hopefully the two will fight. Cloe and Jimmy was sad but Chloe has been acting a fool with him so...
One thing I found disturbing was Lana living on the Kent farm. WTF? im a Clana fan i guess but with whats happend in the past few seasons it just seem kind of odd.

I feel the same way man.

Dean Cain did not get enough screentime. When the episode ended, I was actually saying to myself "That's it?" I think if DC's character had gotten more screentime, and if there was more development into his character, then I would have liked it better. It would have been great if Chloe/Clark working together had matched an MO of his to the Jack the Ripper murders to go along with the comment of "I was JTR". I liked the scenes that DC was in. I just think there weren't enough of them. He seemed to alter his voice for the character though. making it seem a bit deeper than usual, which I thought was cool. I agree that the storyline with Clark/Kara/MM was good. It builds a bit more suspense making Kara seem like more of a villain. That would be one twist on the story I wouldn't mind seeing. I also cheered when Jimmy broke up with Chloe. Chimmy has to be the most BORING ship I have ever seen in my life. There is no passion at all. It seems like more of a friends with benefits type of relationship. However, with the lack of PDA's we see on the show, I am not sure how many benefits Jimmy is receiving.. :lol:

It was a bit cool to see Lana being the one to lie in the Clana relationship for a change. Liked seeing her surrounded by the monitors spying on Lex.

I think an 8/10 is fair for this episode. I might raise my score after another viewing.

Even though this season has not had any mindblowingly good episodes, it has been a solid enjoyable season. Usually Smallville's momentum goes up and down through out an entire season. We haven't had a consistently good season since S3 in my opinion. But overall, this season has been consistently enjoyable.

I agree that the only real weakness of the episode was not enough Dean Cain. Once again, its not that he wasnt great in the scenes he was in, but man I really could have used more. Im crossing my fingers that they bring him back. He could be a great return character if you ask me.

wahhh!!!! why did Kara have to go?!!! I hope to see her back in the next episodes!!! I so love her!!! I hope they keep her up to the end of the series, not like what they did to Jason Teague. hehehehe. Why am i not surprised about having 2 CK's in that episode? (Curtis Knox and Clark Kent) after all dean cain did play CK in Lois and Clark. Anyways, the flow of the story is really fast paced this season, i mean, clark didn't even have to say anything for Kara to figure out what he was trying to say, its that fast!!! to the Writers, please don't leave out any plot holes in the story, and don't give the audience any assumptions. Like for example, i didn't know that Lana knew about chloe being a meteor freak, i just ASSUMED that she knew cause of what she said to Clark in the barn in this episode, I hope they get what i mean...

There was a scene filmed between Tom Welling and Dean Cain where Clark meets Dr. Knox and asks him about his practices. Part of it was shown during an interview with Dean Cain on TVGuide channel. I loved the episode, but I was waiting for that scene. It would've taken place before Clark saves Lex which would contribute to Clark's line about following him, because storywise, they've already met.

Maybe for the people who voted this ep a 5 or below should start watching Ghost Whisperer or something. I know if I voted 5 or below for any show I would probably stop watching it. I mean what's the point? I think the only episode of Smallville that I rated at 5 or below was back in season 4 and that was Ageless which was utter crap.

I rewatched it. My score is still an 8/10, but I can see why it didn't excite me as much the first time, due to having company and missing way more of the episode then I thought I did. It wasn't nearly close enough to perfect to earn a 9, but my score is closer to the upper end of 8 then the lower. Dean Cain better be back, because his character needs much more explanation and seems like he has the potential to be great.

Don't try telling me what to do. 4/10
The episodes just keep getting weaker, and that after such a great start into the season.

The last episode of Ghost Whisperer was great by the way, one of the best of the series. Would give that a 7/10.

I never really liked Chloe and Jimmy, but their breakup was heart wrenching. Great acting.

I loved Clark's comment about Chole forgetting him. :(

The interaction between MM and Kara is interesting. Can't wait to see more of this.

The Clark and Lana stuff just seems forced now. These two actors used to have such chemistry. What's up?

Oh, did I mention that I love Dean Cain! Bring him back, please.

What hottie? Did I miss something? None of the regulars is particularly hot.
The last really hot chick on Smallville was the girl on Kara's right in the Fierce dance practice scene. Almost made me drool in the peagant bikini scene as well.
On the other hand, I am European, what do I know.

He could have just dropped enough money to pay for it on the counter. The Flash (in the comics) does it all the time. People turn around and there's money on the counter to cover whatever he took.
No need to call out the Dark Knight, our Clark isn't a thief. He just, you know, probably overpaid and didn't get his change back! :lol:

Yeah, I noticed that too. I remember Tom's (and Erica did one too, right?) PSA and neither one of them was so noticably reading from cue cards. It's al ittle thing but it kinda bugged me. (call it my OCD or whatever, for those who want to know why I'm nitpicking.)

As for how I felt about this episode, well, I gave it a 5. Yes Dean Cain was unbelievably awesome and the stuff between Lex and Clark was great (Clark saves Lex! Haven't seen that in a while!) but the rest was pretty much crap for me. Kara vs. MM? Lana's mystery? Chloe becoming a hypocrite? (how many times did she tell Clark that he just needed to come clean with Lana in order to have a lasting relationship, after all?) All not such great stuff.

So while I loved Dean (more DC, more DC, more DC!) the rest I didn't care much for.

but seriously, not bad, Dean Cain .... loved him as always .... even reading off cue cards ....

Clark beginning to realize that life with this Lana is not all it's cracked up to be ... the Lana he fell in love with is gone .....

Lex ..... leary of the woman he loves ... Clark leary of the woman he loves .... bring on Lois to save the day ....

Chloe on her way out ... unless she gets transformed/evoluted into some X-men type deal .... hmmmmm not a bad idea ....

and always wonder how these folks would have done on a real network .....

Hmm,

It started great. Interesting to take a character from the first season and have her being killed by none other than (drum-roll) DEAN CAIN. Yeah. That's one cool guest appearance. Too bad we will probably never get to see Teri Hatcher in a guest roll as The Desperate Meteor Wive (lame joke... I know).

Anyway. Liked the interaction between MM and Kara. So far the episode is still a rock solid 10.

Hmm. Here comes one point down to 9:

Chloe going to the doctor is just a little too obvious. She just seems a little too weak and too afraid lately. Okay, so she's got meteor powers. "Maybe I can die the next time I save someone's life?" Umm, didn't she actually die saving Lois? And she came back to life, didn't she. If that's her power chances are she'll come back to life every time. Again and again and again. Just like a battery that needs to recharge. So what's the fuzz? It would have been a little more interesting if Chloe took this ability and made the best of it. She has spend years around Clark and saw how he handled his powers. When did he ever begged them to be taken away. Sure he wanted a normal life, but realised that a normal life is probably not an option, so he just learned to control his powers. Why can't Chloe do the same? After a lot of hesitation of course. Than this episode could have been different. Chloe could have really investigated doc Knox and the disappearing patients. Than he could have captured her and she would have been afraid that now she had accepted her powers they would be taken away from her. Well maybe in an Elseworlds version of Smallville...

Anyway, Lana didn't bother me much this episode. Still feel like she and Clark are not in love anymore. They are just too much like brother and sister right now.

And another point down:

Does anybody get the feeling that this show has been about relations a little too much the last couple of episodes? Or should I say the last couple of seasons? Superman was never about romance. it was about being a hero, at any cost. The only meaningfull relationships in Clarks life were with Lana (we're almost through with that now I hope) and Lois (which will not happen on smallville). O yeah, and probably a little bit with Wonder Woman. Sure there were friendships and it's cool to give a supporting character a love life but please writers PLEASE don't turn this into a soap opera.

In the end I liked this episode enough to give it an 8.

This was overall an entertaining episode. All the Curtis Knox scenes were great -- Dean Cain showed he could more than hold his own, not that it wasn't expected (he did actually play Superman :D ) -- and it would explain how Lex is making any evidence about 33.1 quietly disappear ... by Knox-induced amnesia no less. Amnesia is SV's quick-fix for most dangling plotlines. :lol: The Bee-Girl gets iced. (Next, we get to learn this season what happened to Henry Small and Lucas Luthor?) I liked how they explained away Knox's rapid exit in one line ie he just disappeared, end of story. The local authorities must have 'walked' to the secret lab to allow Knox to get away unseen.

Let's hope Clark has the sense to hear MM's advice and not slip into his usual 'blame Jor-El for everything' tirades, now that Kara is taking up that routine on his behalf. It would be so easy for him to slip into his tired-old red-k habits, with blood family prodding him on. Don't do it, Clark -- you were such a top-shelf a$$ at Lana's engagement party, don't try to outdo yourself this season! Aww heck, sure we want him to ... nothing like a red-k train wreck to spice things up.

Now, let's get to the juicy Chloe - Jimmy split. It couldn't last, and it was (no surprise) secrets and lies that sunk that 'ship. Jimmy, IMHO, really had no other option, in spite of Chloe's own reasons for keeping secrets (Clark's and now her own). Jimmy surely senses that Clark and Chloe have a connection that he only wished he had. Kara was being more forward and she pulled the 'I'm there for you' angle to wedge herself into his already uncertain situation with the increasingly unavailable Chloe. He allowed it and could have shown more sense and been more aloof with Kara, but that's not Jimmy. What you get is what you see -- he's an innocent in the world of Secrets and Lies, LOL!

But that was just a symptom of a much bigger problem in their relationship. Chloe was not prepared to share her secret with him -- and he's her boyfriend, which you'd think would trump Clark's hand as the longtime "friend". How much more understanding is Jimmy expected to be, especially since Chloe has kept a large chunk of her Clark-meteor-Tears of Life story deliberately away from him? Chloe may have been taking a page from Clark: keeping secrets to protect people. And we all know how well that works :rolleyes:. How can Jimmy be expected to be more understanding when he doesn't even 'know' what he's supposed to be more understanding about? If Jimmy has to be more understanding, then Chloe has to tell him everything. She can't/won't, so Jimmy ... has to be more understanding? It's a no-win situation.

Jimmy had to break it off because he felt that Chloe wasn't prepared to give as much as he does for the relationship. The man's got his own dignity and pride to stand up for -- must he meekly set that aside and just go along with Chloe confiding in Clark about everything and expecting Jimmy to be her Guy Friday? Jimmy is out of the loop and doesn't know everything that's going on ... but that doesn't mean Chloe and the usual suspects (ie SV trinity - Clark, Lex, Lana) get a free pass to use "secrets" to justify their actions. Jimmy, frankly, wasn't willing to put up with the Secrets-and-Lies crap any longer. Jimmy 'manned' up this episode even though it cost him Chloe as a girlfriend. (Now, when's Clark turn?)

On another front, I can't be the only one who's thinking that, now that Lana knows the secret, her chemistry with Clark has fizzled out faster than the Talon's soda floats! Jimmy and Kara had more sparks than Clark and Lana's domestic kitchen-chat scenes. What's next? "Clark: Honey, we're out of dishwashing fluid. Lana: It's in the truck. I'll be there in a bit once I get the towels from the dryer." Sizzling stuff. Lana knowing the secret was likely the most effective way of allowing Clana to die ... very ... slowly. It's interesting that Jimmy's romantic prospects are ramping up, just as Clark's seem to be fading.

This episode rates about an 8. It's got diabolical immortal conspiracies, some secrets blown out of the water, the death/mortal wounding of one ship - Chlimmy - and the possible birth of another - Jimara? Karimmy?

Cure was a great episode, although I wish that Dean Cain hadn't played a bad guy (I'd like him to play a good alien that helps Clark Kent become the future Superman). That would have been great, if Dean Cain took the place of Christopher Reeve and help Clark Kent find his destiny, or to at least teach Clark how to fly. I did like seeing Dean Cain do the charity ad for paralysis.


I liked Lana's lines, now that she knows Clark Kent's secret. Towards the end, everyone was sad, each in their own way. Dean Cain cried when his loved one died (and I'm thinking to myself: "Chloe Sullivan, why didn't you just heal his lover, so we can have a happy ending?") Dean Cain cried in it.


Clark Kent was depressed, because Martian Manhunter told Clark he would outlive all his loved ones. You could see the sad look in Tom's face as he was hugging Lana Lang.


Chloe & Jimmy were sad. Chloe, because she couldn't be honest with Jimmy and tell him, "Jimmy, I'm a meteor freak." I'm thinking to myself, "Chloe, why can't you be honest with Jimmy and tell him you're a meteor freak? You and Clark are honest with each other. Why not you be honest with Jimmy?" Jimmy was sad, also, telling Chloe their relationship can't go on, if she can't be truthful to him. This was sad to see, Jimmy and Chloe feeling depressed.


It's good to see Michael playing the good guy for a change, even if Lex is faking it; though I felt sorry for Dean Cain as Dr. Knox, because I like Dean Cain very much. I also like Philip Morris (Martian-Manhunter) on Smallville.


Tom Welling played a great role on Cure, and Clark Kent doesn't know whether Lex is telling the truth, or if Lana is telling the truth. He doesn't know which one to believe in. He looked confused, and Tom played a good part in looking confused. Also, Clark was confused about what Martian-Manhunter said about Kara; that she can't be trusted, and Kara tells Clark that he can't trust Martian-Manhunter. Again, Tom did a good job in acting very confused, and not knowing who to trust, Kara or Martian-Manhunter. I enjoyed this episode very much.

SOME SPOILERS!!!

I just watched it again and want to say that this is definately an episode that will be a top favorite. I love it when actors from other Superman mythos come onto the show, but having Dean Cain, who played Superman, is playing the complete opposite here and does an incredible job.
The lines Dean Cain speaks in this episode is also great, first he mentions Mongul(could this reference be a future Metropolis episode, where they team up?).
His response to being Jack the Ripper and the "reveal" music with Chloe reaction was top notch. Also when Clark and Knox are fighting Clark says that they are not that different, was great. I can't wait for him to return to the series, Dean Cain has a place in Smallville's most wanted return characters.
It would have been a nice touch if Teri Hatcher was his comatose girl, that would have been a great nod, but Hatcher seems to want to forget her time in Superman's world.
Can't wait to see one time Nerdy Jimmy Olsen Marc McClure play a Kryptonian.

I wondered the same thing. I thought it was his acting choice at first, but his voice still sounded that way in the Reeve Foundation promo too. Maybe he had a cold or something.

I liked that Clark used his powers infront of Lana like that.

But my question is, did he steal that maple syrup?
He can superspeed TO the store, but he can't superspeed the giving money to the cashier process. It would have taken longer than that.

I thought the same thing. Clark, you better go right back and pay the nice people. What kind of a future Superman steals? Other than the Kal alter ego!

Chloe going to the doctor is just a little too obvious. She just seems a little too weak and too afraid lately. Okay, so she's got meteor powers. "Maybe I can die the next time I save someone's life?" Umm, didn't she actually die saving Lois? And she came back to life, didn't she. If that's her power chances are she'll come back to life every time. Again and again and again. Just like a battery that needs to recharge. So what's the fuzz?

I think Chloe's real fear is that she knows that the vast majority of meteor freaks end up either mad, pathological, criminal, vindictive, obsessive or a combination of all five. This in itself would be quite frightening, but combine that with Chloe's other very real fear - that of hereditary madness - then I think her reaction to the situation is quite plausible. Not the going to see Dr Knox part though - that was purely to engineer some dramatic tension! :lol:

I gave it an 8. Overall, I thought the episode was well put together. Some nice little touches in there, the CK on the handkerchief, and Knox wearing a leather apron and referring to Jack the Ripper was a nice historical touch. Someone did some research.

Great lines, make that the best lines ever!

Royal Rumble between the aliens.

Chloeavge.

Dean FREAKING Cain.

What the hell is not to love? (other then Lana)

I wasn't aware that Chloe had any breasts to have cleavage of. Seriously, what?


Cure was a great episode, although I wish that Dean Cain hadn't played a bad guy (I'd like him to play a good alien that helps Clark Kent become the future Superman). That would have been great, if Dean Cain took the place of Christopher Reeve and help Clark Kent find his destiny, or to at least teach Clark how to fly. I did like seeing Dean Cain do the charity ad for paralysis.

You don't think that would of been a bit, I don't know...

Cliche?
Dull? Boring?
Typical? Expected?
Predictable?
Repetitive?
Uninspired?

You get my point, don't you? :lol: Nope, I like him the way they made him just fine. More than fine actually. This picture is AMAZING imagery. (http://www.kryptonsite.com/cure4.jpg)

A 6 for me and that's after a few re watch. There's just something about most episodes in season 7 that fundamentally annoy me.

This was... not my favorite Chloe-centric episode. I'm not sure what bothered me the most about this episode... The fact that Chloe was so cavalier about being willing to give up a ton of her memories simply to avoid the potential risk of going psycho without doing more research on Dr. Curtis Knox... Or the fact that Dean Cain, formerly one of my favorite Superman actors, was portraying a horrific murderer who performed surgery on people while they were still awake... Or the Chimmy and Kimmy "love triangle" angst... Or Lana promising she'd never lie to Clark, even though she was already keeping a few major secrets from him at this point... Still, it wasn't as horrendous as "Fierce," so I guess I'll give this... 5 kryptonite-infected organs out of 10, and that's being generous just because of the whole "You're going to forget me" conversation between Chloe and Clark.

Just rewatched it. Pretty solid episode. Dean Cain did a really good job and Chloe was great in this episode. I also loved the song playing at the end of the episode. I give it an 8.5/10.

Jeez, so fed up with the lies upon lies upon more lies. Every relationship is built on it on this show every since season 1. It's completely possible to have an interesting show without so many conspiracies and stuff. Their lives always turn upsidedown in the season finale because of secrets, do they ever learn?? NOO. I at least expected Chloe's character to be honest about her abilities to Jimmy but I was sadly disappointed. Her powers aren't even bad and it's not like she comes across a dead body to cry over everyday.

I have to agree, the secretive nature of all characters becomes a bad plot device all to often on the show
