Which was the worst episode this season?

Bizarro Season premere, Bizarro and Clark battle it out. Featuring the MM, Bizarro grabing Lois' but and a resurected Chloe. Not to mention blond Lana and jailed Lex.

Kara Clark meets his cousin from Krypton. Finally a Kryptonian that flies. Lois gets her DP job and Chloe gets a verbal smackdown from Grant.

Fierce Kara Kent in a red bikini, and a plug for ANTM. First FotW episode in quite some time, featuring Chloe and Jimmy team up for a story.

Cure Dean Cain guest starrs to cure Chloe of her meteor infection. Chimmy break up and Clark fights Superman for Chloe's heart.

Action No, nobody got any 'action', but we did get a bit of a jab at the internet fanbase with a crazy fan going after Mrs. Luthor. There is continuity with Lex' comic book hero and mythos talk between Clark and Lex.

Lara Clark saves Kara from the bad government guys and finally gets to see his real mother. Sexy Kara in action and Krypton flashback.

Wrath Here comes Super Lana! Clark and Lana do the horizontal mambo and shake the whole town up. Literaly. Lana goes all badass on Lex and we get a great Lexana kiss.

Blue Clark frees Lara from the crystal and we meet the evil Zor El. Blue K is introduced and Lois Lane and Grant Gabriel's hanky panky gets noticed by Chloe and Lex.

Gemini Elevator bomb. Lana and "Clark" working side by side. Chimmy kiss. Julian is a clone? Lex owns the DP? Wait Clark flies?!?! No wait! It was Bizarro all along.

Persona Clark comes back from the FotS, Chloe and Lana have a little tiff over who knows Clark better and Bizarro bangs Lana. Brainiac is back and kills a Kryptonian and Clark and Lana have serious problems.

Siren Thank God another Lois Lane episode. Ollie is back, Chloe works for the JLA. Introducing the Black Cannary. Lois finds out Ollie is GA and a sweet Clois hug and tear.

Fracture Obi-Wan, there is still good in him. Kara is found and Lois is in trouble. Clark goes in Lex' mind to find the truth and learns there is still a good side of Lex. Chloe almost dies, again.

Hero Pete "the boss" Ross turns into the Elongated Man/Mr. Fantastic. Jimmy loves Chloe Lex and Kara will live together.

"Fierce". It didn't seem too special. I dunno, but it felt really forced at times and the plot was rather boring, but it did explain some stuff that would happen later like Dax-Ur's shield being needed.

superspider02
03-13-2008, 08:58 PM
Yea that was the only good thing about fierce was the start of the Dax-ur plot. The rest of the season i thought has been pretty good.

I can understand why people didn't like "Fierce", but Fracture and Persona? Why?

minerva73
03-13-2008, 09:00 PM
My guess about "Persona" would be that people thought they'd get more than an episode filled with Lana and her behavior, but more of a Brainiac episode which was what was advertised. :\ I dunno.

theotherJane
03-13-2008, 09:03 PM
Why Persona? I liked that one actually.

I'm not quite sure. I was looking forward to the episode after the hiatus and really excited about the premise, but it ended up being a total let down for me.
I think what might have ruined it for me was Clark and Bizarro fighting over Lana. :rolleyes:
It was too soap operish. And Lex screaming out in the rain after Julian's death. I didn't like that.

I'd have to say "Hero" for being the worst thus far with "Fracture" a close second.

Fierce

WHAT! Kara was half-naked in Fierce. That almost puts it leaps and bounds over any other episode!


My vote goes for Wrath.

Minela
03-13-2008, 09:10 PM
I liked Wrath for the Lexana kiss.

minerva73
03-13-2008, 09:11 PM
My vote goes for Wrath.

:eek: You didn't like the earth-shattering Clana sex? Or the people being thrown through windows? Or everyone admitting that Sagee...Lana was depraved?

Actually I can see why people don't like "Wrath" as well.

I didn't like "Blue" too much either. It seemed really off, but it was a nice filler I guess...

Mar-El
03-13-2008, 09:25 PM
:eek: You didn't like the earth-shattering Clana sex? Or the people being thrown through windows? Or everyone admitting that Sagee...Lana was depraved?

It's not that I hate Sageeth/Lana (except I do). I think she is a wonderful character (horrible character) and an entire episode devoted to her sounds like a great (extremely bad) idea. :p

She'll probably plead the Kryptonite defense like Pete did in Hero. Kryptonite makes people do bad things.

What really did me in for Wrath was the horse-riding scene at the beginning. I was SO tempted to change the channel. At least they mentioned Eric Summers and moved the whole Brainiac plot forward. Also, I thought the Clana sex scene earthquake was hilarious. I wasn't repulsed by it or anything like some fans were. I laughed at the sheer disbelief that the writers actually went there.

I may not like Lana, but Kristin Kreuk is a hottie :D

Fierce was not only the worse this season, but maybe the worse of the show. This episode sucked as well though. It was right behind Fierce.

ClarksGal

Fierce was the worst, by far. I didn't hate this one, although it could have been a lot better. By the end of the episode, I got to see whatI wanted to see, which was Clark and Pete as friends, and Chloe and Pete as friends.

red_sun1938
03-14-2008, 06:52 AM
I can understand why people didn't like "Fierce", but Fracture and Persona? Why?


Fracture had the most plotholes, inconsistencies and was more ridiculously far-fetched than anything they have ever tried to pass off as a Smallville episode to date. I spent most of the time saying, "Oh, come on!" or "Give me a ****ing break!" as the episode unfolded and that began the moment Lex was shot between the eyes with a 9mm, left in a ditch, miraculously found by a cop who just happened to know Lionel, airlifted to Smallville from Detroit and survived. We haven't even gotten to the whole krypto-induced mind meld when Clark could have supersped through Detroit and found Lois and Kara in a metter of seconds.

Fierce was the ONLY episode I didn't enjoy.

MidgardDragon
03-14-2008, 07:05 AM
Fierece, Cure, and Wrath were the only episodes that were below-par, but they were still good episodes. I'd have to ultimately go with Fierce for the ludicrous premise. Hero doesn't even make the list, but it looks like we have another Subterranean on our hands where the general public completely failed to understand the point of the episode and will whine away.

xrayvision
03-14-2008, 07:16 AM
I really liked Cure. Curtis Knox & Brainiac are 2 characters I would love to return soon. I think they're making the same mistake with Brainiac that they made in season 5. They should have held off on bringing Marsters back until they have something for him to do.

This has been an interesting season, but one with really no main focus. At least one that's not clear enough to be determined at the moment. I know there's Lex's interest in Kara's roots, the meteor shower, and his family symbol (coat-of-arms). But with Clark, there's really no focus. There has been a lot of stuff about Krypton, but they haven't really had a good flow of events. Once again he doesn't trust Jor-El. The biggest mystery is why Lana hasn't told him about what she found out about Brainiac while with Bizarro.

Fierce was pretty bad, but Blue actually made me angry because it just decided to stop making sense. (The only caveat being, it introduced the Grant-as-[cloned]-Julian storyline, which was interesting, if short-lived.)

So, "Hero" wasn't the worst this season, but it could slide into the #3 spot so far.

I'm just frustrated. This season (like S6) has provided so many great opportunities for character and story development that I feel like have just been wasted. Everyone's spinning their wheels, and no one's going anywhere.

no, im sorry but i am watching smallville. the same show that has Clark kent whining about his powers and his pathetic life everyday since the show started. he was closer to being a superhero in the earliest seasons compared to the later ones. he makes the same terrible mistakes and doesnt do whats necessary to help people. yes, im talking about smallville.

if you have a problem with that then dont read my comments. im here to discuss how i feel about this show.

truest statement ever! every episode has gone no where and yet they are trying resign most of the actors for an 8th season? why? to see more of the same crap? they are better off letting most people go and focus on Clark everyone knows he needs the time to develop

I thought Hero was the worst episode this season. Pete's return was really wasted on an hour long Stride gum commercial. Why was there a molten stream of kryptonite flowing through a gum factory anyway? Is it possible the real writers were on strike and they got a couple of jr. high school students to write this episode?

Darkcook
03-14-2008, 11:48 AM
The worst were Fierce, Fracture and Hero. Actually, we had high expectations for Fracture and Hero, and it ended to be disappointing and filler. I hope the Veritas storyline, hinted since Siren, is more interesting.

Hero and Fierce are definately on the lower end of the quality pool for this season but the WORST is Fracture by a landslide at this point.

Hero is by far the worst. Hated Lexara, hated Chlete, couldn't help but vomit at the mere entrance of Lana (I just get more and more sick of the character with every passing episode) let alone Clana.
Pete was a complete jerk and guilty of attempted murder. Clark shouldn't even speak to Pete again and should have slammed the door in his face when he tried to set foot in his house near the end of the episode.
Clark keeping Kara's origin a secret from her also makes no sense, especially since she hardly knows him as it is (great way to build that trust buddy).
Kara trusting Lex when he clearly kept information from her about who she was, and where she lived, made her look like an absolute moron (you know Clark had to have told her about Lex's dishonesty). Don't even get me started on her moving in with that slime ball. Both Clark and Kara are BDA's. I guess they really are related after all.
So they used continuity and referenced past episodes . . . big deal. That in no way balaces out the lack of common sense from both Clark and Kara, not to mention the utterly horrible plot device Pete and his Kryptonite flavored gum. :rolleyes:

I am actually quite suprised at the negative feedback this episode has been getting.

The episode was far from perfect. However, the positives far outweighed the negatives.

- We got actual continuity in regards to the mythos. References to Lana's tatoo, the barn burning in Rosetta, the Kawatchi caves, and the first meteor shower in regards to the star chart.

- Pete returned, and aside from the lame "Kryptonite gum" angle, it was well done. Great basketball scene paying tribute to Duplicity, as well as great dialogue between Pete/Clark discussing the past, Pete/Lex, and Pete/Chloe.

- We got to see Lex as much more of a villain in this episode. You had him running the DP and Metropolis as the backdrop which included a great scene between Chloe/Lex, and scenes like Lex having Pete tortured, etc..

- It had the nice twist with Lionel hiding the bracelet

- Cool ending with Kara moving in

It is rare these days that I will stick up for an episode, because I watch now only out of habbit, and I really don't care for the show that much anymore. But this was one of the few episodes this season that I really enjoyed. Maybe some of it had to do with nostalgia. But the episode had the feel of the old Smallville I used to love, combined with a few new really cool developments.

But the episode had the feel of the old Smallville I used to love, combined with a few new really cool developments.

Some of the points you bring up are what was good about the episode for sure: nostalgia, tying up some loose ends from the past, continuity, villanous Lex, etc but I just don't think it was enough to make up for the three things that brought the episode down IMO:

1) The K-Gum thing was horrific ala FOTW

2) Pete's gone for all these years and comes back with a major chip which puts all his old "best friends" in major danger...would have liked a friendlier reunion esp since Pete would be dead several times over if Clark wasn't there to save him.

3) The whole Kara Lex thing and sorry to disagree, is horrific and the most contrived arc we've seen since the couple episode "love affair" ending S5 that gave us Lexana. I get that she is lost and vulnerable, I can even believe that she gets closer to Lex cause she's scared and confused but him being her new best friend?? MOVING IN?!?!?!? Maybe she's distrustful of Clark and Lana cause she senses that they're keeping something but ANY other person she associates with: Chloe, Lois, Jimmy, etc has got the same opinion of Lex. When they all say he's a slime that can't be trusted moreso than anyone, she opts to move in??? Not buying it.

When they all say he's a slime that can't be trusted moreso than anyone, she opts to move in??? Not buying it.

I wanted to clear one thing up. I don' want Kara/Lex to be a couple. The reason I like Kara moving in with Lex is because it lets Lex get closer to the truth and puts him in more of a villainous role to take advantage of someone who has lost their memory. This is how it should have been with Lana. If Lexana had come down to Lex caring nothing about Lana personally, and using her just to get at Clark, I could have dug it. With Kara and Lex this is what's happening. Lex cares absolutely nothing about Kara and is completely using her. I like Kara moving in because it gives Lex an opportunity to ultimately be the bad guy.

What you have to understand is that since Kara has no memory of any of the people in her life, she doesn't know them well enough to trust their opinion. When you combine that with the fact that the people in Kara's life that she is closest with - Clark and Lana, are both lying to her, it only adds even more distrust to the mix. All Kara has to go on, is the fact that two people she is supposed to be close with are lying to her, and Lex is supposedly being honest with her.

I agree, Ryan.

I don't know how to word this without coming off as a complete moron, but for me the episode was all about nostalgia. Some of the bad components of the first three seasons (kryptonite gum) and lots of all-over-the-place episodic plotlines resurfaced, and it had a similar feel to the old seasons.

I think the episode had a few too many triangles though, there isn't need for Chloe/Jimmy drama. If there going to be a couple, that's fine. But the show doesn't need another Clana to stir the pot.

I did love Lex owning Chloe in his office, and I hate the fact that Pete actually was putting a virus on the computers and the window said "Viris Uploading' :lol:

That and Pete doing the same old thing he always does:

u guys are being too hard on the seventh season episodes. Fierce was by far the worse episode of the season although obviously it set up future plot like Dax Ur. Lara, Wrath, Blue, Fracture, Siren all were superb. Bizarro, Kara, Cure, Action, Gemini, Persona, and Hero were excellent. Overall, the writers have kick it a notch up and the the seventh season is very interesting and is awesome compared to season 3 and 5.:D

I don't hate any Smallville episode because I love it all! But if I had to choose which episode I least liked I would say Fierce. It was entertaining and had some good moments but not as many as the other episodes.

03-15-2008, 01:41 AM
Fierce. It got me completely disgusted with Kara. Kara, like Lana in season 6, brings Lex and Clark's storylines together. And, I have to admit, she's a more original plot device than Lana. But still, since Fierce, every time I see Kara on screen I'm just willing for her scenes to end so that we can move on to other things.
