What got me though is she already had it showing, why did she have to cover up at the end of that episode?? We all seen it, twice now this season (yippee) so she should flaunt it.

I know. There was a good five or six minutes of closeups of Chloe's upper torso. I think Chloe should wear her bra like that all the time. :)

I'm going to do a write-in:

They didn't explain how Knox was immortal. This seemed to me to be such a glaring omission that it has to be mentioned before anything else. Overall, still a really good ep

I actually liked this episode, but it's tradition for me to do a "What did you hate..." thread.

Anyway, I expect we'll see Knox again and learn more about him. I really didn't see the omission as an episode fault.

I agree with the Dr Knox Origin also it was assumed that Chloe and Lana are talking even though we never saw/heard Lana and Chloe talk about their deaths.

Why is Lana still here?

Is Clark paying her to be his housekeeper now that Martha's left the farm? Other than blah victimization speeches and displaying her cunning use of Lana- fu in flower arrangements, I'm on a complete loss.

and did you see the lack of concern lana had when she heard about clark saving chloe from the murdering doc? geez lana, i thought you guys were friends.

and lana and clark seem to have zero chemistry this season. the writers need to make them act like they're together if they're going to have them be together.

I hated that they did not flesh out the mythology of dean cain's character, why is he immortal, why have we never heard of him before? give me something.

I did not like sad chloe, I hate the writers constantly put her in sad situations.
We get it , to the writers she is a greek tragedy. But TPTB constant bashing of Chloe is wearing thin on me. Chloe+jimmy was a good thing, I think it was a mistake to break it up. Jimmy truly loves chloe and to write chloe as throwing that away is a mistake.

I didn't hate anything about Lana btut atleast I am not the only one who was reminded of the Stepford Wives. Guess that makes me sane enough to keep watching Smallville

I was slightly disturbed that Clark thought he killed the guy, and didn't seem that broken up about it. But then it turned out he wasn't dead, so I guess I let it go. But yeah, he shouldn't be OK with that at all.

I didn't really like that Chloe was willing to give up six years of her life, and that she was willing to forget Clark, but to be honest, I really loved that scene. To me, it showed how important Chloe is to Clark, and it showed how desperate Chloe really is feeling. There is no way she would ever want to forget Clark unless she was really freaking out. I do wish they would have had a follow up between Chlark at the end of the episode. Especially after Chloe's breakup. I would have liked to see Clark comfort her. But maybe that will come.

The whole Lana thing doesn't bother me at all. I'm glad their relationship is kind of plastic...that makes it more realistic to me. There's no way they could go back to what they had before after everything they've done to each other. Now they just seem peaceful. Except for this secret side of Lana, which is kind of interesting to me. Is she really trying to help people? Is she spying on Lex so she can prevent his next victims? Is she trying to bring him down altogether? Is she out for revenge? Or is there something even more sinister going on? I think this is very interesting, and for the first time I don't think it's OOC.

Personally I thought Chloe/Jimmy breakup was great. Worst relationship on SV so far and before you say what about Lexana, I hated that too but unlike Chlimmy, it had a purpose and a story behind it.

Yeah I've noticed that. They just seem bored by one another. And that's because they ran out of steam long ago.

Why exactly is Chloe so stressed about her powers though? All she has to do is make sure she doesn't cry over any dead people. There's no need to break up with Jimmy over it. I think the truth is that she was never really into Jimmy in the first place. It always seemed like a very one sided relationship to me.

Oh, and I voted for Clark thinking he'd killed someone. And he would have killed Lionel in "Phantom" if Martian Manhunter hadn't stopped him. He's definately inherited the Jonathan Kent temper. Nope, not good.

That Smallville actually came on.

Demne

10-19-2007, 02:41 PM

I pick none of the above.

I hated how Dean Cain was written in under one of the worst story lines. Immortal now? lived centuries? If hes not Kryptonian, he kinda makes no sense what so ever. Although a lot of the people now in the show make no sense where they came from heh.

Not to mention he went down without a real fight. You would think the guy who played Superman would be given a little better respectful story line. Hopefully.. they will bring him back and make something useful from his character... but who knows.

RedKRules

10-19-2007, 03:32 PM

definitely Chloe was willing to throw six years of her life away.

last man of krypton

10-19-2007, 03:43 PM

Ditto on Chloe's willing memory loss. I was so angry that Clark was willing to kill someone at a moment's notice without even accessing the situation first or even checking out the bubble-wrapped corpses afterwards.
Oh, and that last Chimmy scene was so nauseating I wanted to switch off.

borednow

10-19-2007, 05:17 PM

My cat voted for me but my actual picks would have been.

The Jimmy and Chloe breakup.
oh that hurt... my poor heart. Jimmy's box of souvenirs was so sweet. Poor guy.

Clark was not only willing to kill, but thought he did. Totally antithetical to Superman.
Smallville's second biggest issue ever.

Kara is attracted to Jimmy because...? There is zero chemistry there.
I so agree... casual friend moments like the chopsticks were okay but the *lean in* "This is our little secret" felt weird.

Brain surgery can cure the meteor infected? WTF?
I don't get it either.

At least there were some great Shelby moments this episode...ah crap.
Shelby moments are sorely missed.

I guess Jimmy was used to hearing that after his experience with the Boy Scouts.

Sasha Woodman lost six years of her life because she'd been held by Lex in 33.1 for six years. If Chloe had been captured by Lex and was only there two weeks, she would have only lost two weeks.

*scratches head*

Uh, that's not how I understood the extent of the memory loss from the procedure. I was under the impression that it was uncertain just how much would be lost, but that there definitely would be memory loss of some sort.

Mello Penelo

10-19-2007, 09:06 PM

The memory loss was specific to the amount of time spent in Lex's facilities. When Dr. Knox and Lex had the conversation about them being mind wiped in order to keep 33.1's secrets, it was pretty obvious.

The less time you stay, the less memory you lose.

Ah, I see what you're saying now. However, Chloe doesn't have any memories of her incarceration and experimentation at 33.1. When I first caught the conversation between Lex and Knox, I thought that was what Knox was implying, but I wasn't sure.

So we really don't know how much memory Chloe would have lost, do we, if it was entirely dependent on Knox's actions?

Mello Penelo

10-19-2007, 10:11 PM

Well, she would have been dead. The doctored research published associated with memory loss was part of Lex's scheme to keep people from finding out about 33.1. So, theoretically, there might not be any memory loss at all. Just part of the fabricated research published. And also from Chloe's conversation with Sasha.

10-19-2007, 10:34 PM

The Chimmy breakup! I cried... :\ :o

And I was NOT okay with Clark being okay with killing someone. He just shrugged it off as no big deal. :mad:

Oh, and no Lois. :(

All about Clark

10-19-2007, 11:26 PM

I never believed killing Knox was Clark's intent. He shoved him like he always does and probably didn't see what he was shoving him into. He saw him get shocked and thought that killed him. I'm actually considering it an accident.

Also, Chloe didn't get this surgery thru Lex, so she probably wouldn't have had to have any memory loss, that was Lex's doing to get the 33.1 freaks to forget about their prison time. However, it was unclear whether she ever requested her memory spared. I think she was so busy wanting the power gone, she didn't think this thru.

Poweranimals

10-20-2007, 12:07 AM

She may not have had any memory loss, but she wasn't actually aware that the memory loss wasn't part of the procedure.

Why was Dean Cain cutting people open while still awake. Isn't that kinda of harsh. When he started to cut open Chole didn't anyone notice how black her blood was, shouldn't it be red? Why would the MMH expose himself in front of Lana?

Serynarpc

10-20-2007, 08:57 PM

Lana is turning into a paranoid, secret keeping Stepford Wife.

Why is she even still here? I'll say it again, is Clark paying her to be his Housekeeper? The 'love of his life' angle has soured and she's no longer dynamic enough to hold my interest as a villain.

She's just a spoiled brat who stole money, is breaking the law and playing Clark for a fool.

Hate is a strong word, wouldn't say any of the things you cited as enough to make me hate this episode but there were a couple weird moments. More or less the dialog needed tuning.

Overall, still a really good ep Simple, It's Vandal Savage but to keep the character mysterious they don't say his name directly. Sort of what they did with J'onn J'onnz for a second last year.

I'm guessing it's because Dr. Knox is a sick, twisted, disturbed individual. He's a coldblooded murderer who feels no sympathy for his patients, their pain most likely brings him joy.

As for Lana, all the aliens on the show seem to really like showing off their powers in front of her. If I were her I would be overwhelmed and have about a million questions to ask Clark, I hope they show some of that in the next episodes, how can one not be curious?

...and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how producers get you to watch the show for the whole season... by stretching out the development of a major storyline until they can provide closure to it in the season finale or just drop the friggin' ball altogether.

This quote from redboots is made of win.
------------
As to why Knox would cut people open while they're awake... hello, "I was Jack the Ripper?"
------------
I really think Clark electrocuted Knox by accident, and Clark did sound upset to me when he mentioned it to Lex, but it's true that if he thought Knox was dead, he should have stuck around and at least looked penitent for a minute before super-speeding out of there, but if he did that then the fight between them would have happened right when Knox came to, and not in a lab full of Green K where it could be more dramatic.
------------
I was very disappointed in Chloe being unable to yield her secret. I mean, it's because Jimmy was spouting hate about "freaks" that she felt she couldn't, but that part in itself just felt contrived by TPTB to make her react the way she did.

I didn't hate anything. Okay, maybe the Lana making breakfast scene and talking about Kryptonians. Bleh!

QFT.

All those points you made were good things for me. Are you, by chance, a Clana fan?

You didn't put down the option I would have selected:
"Every scene involving anything with Lana, unless it included Lex owning her."
