Smallville Tribond (GAME)

[ReignoftheSupermen]

nothing to do with Clana

[MrsK]

How about Whitney not being there for Lana?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

How about Whitney not being there for Lana?

Not what I'm looking for.

[MrsK]

All right. Is it plot, character, prop, or dialog related?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

None of those really fit. It is something we SEE in each episode, but I can't describe it as a "prop" necessarily.

[MrsK]

Is it a tangible thing? An event? An action?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Not a thing, an event or an action.

[MrsK]

An emotion or mental state?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Think of our trivia threads. Not a who. Not a what. Not a why...

[MrsK]

A where? Is it the cafeteria at SV High?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

A where? Is it the cafeteria at SV High?

Yes! Well Done Mrs K! :)

[MrsK]

With a good hint! :lol:

All right:

Bride
Hostage
Lazarus

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Plot related? Dialogue? prop? location? character related? a specific action?

[MrsK]

Character-related

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Is it a particular guest we see in all three episodes?

[MrsK]

No. It is a different character in each episode. They have something in common.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Mains? Guests? RGs? SEGs?

[MrsK]

Recurring guests.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Have any of these guests ever been mains?

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

Is Perry the RG in Hostage?

[MrsK]

Yes, they have all been mains.
Not Perry.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Is that the link then? The return of former mains as guests? Lana in Bride. Lex in Lazarus. Martha in Hostage?

[MrsK]

Yes - It's the first guest appearance of former mains: Lana, Martha, and Jonathan, actually. Good job! :)

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Ah yes, Johnathan. I wasn't thinking of it as his first time back. He appeared later on in the same season he died (season 5) but I guess technically, he was still a main at that time.

-Devoted
-Vengeance
-Hostage

[MrsK]

Plot related? Dialogue? prop? location? character related? a specific action?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Best fits are: prop and character (or rather, what character does with prop) ;)

[MrsK]

Same character in each episode?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Same character in each episode?

No. Two were mains (Clark and Chloe) and the third was a RG (2 episodes, Male, Alive, non powered, not in prison or coma, much older than Clark, never a main)

[MrsK]

Is the prop the same or something similar in each episode?
Is the guest Perry White?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

The guest is Perry White. The props do have a quality in common, but they are not the same.

[MrsK]

Anything to do with Chloe being on the pom pom juice in Devoted?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with Chloe being on the pom pom juice in Devoted?

You could say her altered personality did cause her to do this with the prop in question.

[MrsK]

So to match the characters to the episodes:

Hostage - Perry
Devoted - Chloe
Vengeance - Clark

[ReignoftheSupermen]

That's right.

[MrsK]

Is the prop in question made of a hard material?
Can it be held and lifted in one hand? A closed fist?
Is it colorful? Functional or decorative?
Can it be worn? Eaten?
When used by these characters in these episodes, was it used as it was intended to be used?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Is the prop in question made of a hard material?
Can it be held and lifted in one hand? A closed fist?
Is it colorful? Functional or decorative?
Can it be worn? Eaten?
When used by these characters in these episodes, was it used as it was intended to be used?

Prop is:
-not made of hard material in two of the cases; has some "hard" components in the third case
-Can be easily held and lifted in one hand in all three cases; A closed fist in probably two of the three
-Colorful in one of the three cases; Functional in all three cases; Decorative in maybe one of the three (the same one I described as "colorful")
-All three can be worn; None of the three can be eaten
-When the props were used, all three were used for the correct purpose.

[MrsK]

Is the correct purpose to be worn?
Would it be worn at or above the waist? At or above the neck? On the arms or hands?

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

I'm thinking Perry wore Jonathan's jacket in Hostage and Clark wore Jonathan's watch in Vengeance. Chloe never wore anything of Jonathan's,but she did wear Clark's football jersey in Devoted. Am I on the right track?

That's it Mrs K. I was looking for "people wearing other people's things"

You're up!

[MrsK]

All right.

Accelerate
Exposed
Forever

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Prop, character, dialogue related? Anything to do with a particular action taken by a character(s)?

[MrsK]

None of thsoe

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Music? Anything to do with a director?

[MrsK]

Not music or director, but you are definitely on the right track.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Something actually seen on screen - or something they have in common offscreen?

[MrsK]

Offscreen - and it is something other than the fact that they are all competitors in the worst episode thread!

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Do they have a behind-the-scenes person in common?

[MrsK]

Not sure I'd describe them as "behind-the-scenes person" but I guess you could, so yes, that's the idea.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Does any part of these people "come through" on screen? Voice, body, etc.

----- Added 30 Seconds later -----

Maybe a writer?

[MrsK]

Yes - a writer/writers

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Gonna have to look this one up later. Getting offline soon.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Tim McCanlies?

[MrsK]

Nope

[ReignoftheSupermen]

He was listed as the writer for all three episodes on IMDB. It it's not him, I got nuthin.

[MrsK]

According to imdb "McCanlies pitched a series called Gotham which would have chronicled the rise of a young Bruce Wayne with Clark Kent as a recurring character. McCanlies' concept was turned into the series Smallville, and as of 2006 McCanlies continues to receive royalties for each episode produced." He is listed as uncredited writer for 172 episodes. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564827/filmoseries#tt0279600. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564827/filmoseries#tt0279600)

These three episodes have actual writers in common.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

One of the big 5? Slavkin, Souders, Peterson, Gough, Millar?

[MrsK]

Yes - 2 of them

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Souders and Peterson?

[MrsK]

Yes!

[ReignoftheSupermen]

-Sneeze
-Absolute Justice
-Hostage

This one could be a little tricky...

[MrsK]

All right. Let's start with the basics:

Prop, character, dialogue related? Anything to do with a particular action taken by a character(s)?

Or something outside the episode, like an actor, writer, music, etc?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

character

Yes, this is a little outside the box. If you concentrate on what the last two have in common (Absolute Justice, Hostage), it may be easier to see how the first one fits (Sneeze).

[MrsK]

Is the character a main? a guest?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Three separate characters involved. A main (Martha), a RG (at the time) and a RG

[MrsK]

Is the RG (at the time) Oliver in Sneeze?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Is the RG (at the time) Oliver in Sneeze?



Yes

[MrsK]

So Oliver in Sneeze
Martha in Hostage

Is the RG >2, <5? Ever a main? Male or female? Alive? Human? Powered? Comatose? Incarcerated? Clark's age?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

So Oliver in Sneeze
Martha in Hostage

Is the RG >2, <5? Ever a main? Male or female? Alive? Human? Powered? Comatose? Incarcerated? Clark's age?

More than 2 episodes, less than 5. Never a main. Female. Alive (we assume), Human, non powered, Older than Clark. Not incarcerted. Possibly in a coma?

[MrsK]

Amanda Waller?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

yes. Now what do they all have in common?

[MrsK]

The name Queen?

Oliver Queen
Red Queen
White Queen

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Yes! First appearances of Queens!

Well done. You're up!

[MrsK]

Okay. Another in a bit...

----- Added 44 Minutes later -----

Apocalypse
Extinction
Hidden

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with Clark dying/nearly dying?

[MrsK]

Yes, related to that

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Getting shot?

[MrsK]

Yep!

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Put on your thinking cap for this one...

-Ryan
-Odyssey
-Idol

[MrsK]

Prop, character, dialogue related? Anything to do with a particular action taken by a character(s)?

Or something outside the episode, like an actor, writer, music, etc?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

none of those

[MrsK]

Something to do with a certain location?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

yes

[MrsK]

Is it somewhere that is seen? Mentioned? Is it the same place in each ep, or a similar place?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Is it somewhere that is seen? Mentioned? Is it the same place in each ep, or a similar place?

Somewhere mentioned. Not the same place, but similar. Each of the three have something in common with each other.

[MrsK]

Would these places be indoors? Are they buildings? Places of recreation or entertainment? Business? Residences?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Would these places be indoors? Are they buildings? Places of recreation or entertainment? Business? Residences?

none of those

[MrsK]

So outdoors, then?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

yeah, I suppose so.

[MrsK]

Mentioned in each episode?
Mentioned by mains? Guests?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

In Ryan - mentioned by a main, Lex
In Odyssey - not mentioned but referred to in another way
In Idol - mentioned by an SEG

[MrsK]

are they vehicles?

Is the SEG in Idol one of the twins? Dr. Evans? One of the undercover cops in the box at the beginning?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

are they vehicles?

Is the SEG in Idol one of the twins? Dr. Evans? One of the undercover cops in the box at the beginning?

not vehicles

The SEG IS one of the twins in Idol.

[MrsK]

Are they cities? countries?
Are they in the US? Kansas?

Is the reference in Odyssey when Chloe was being experimented on?
Did it have to do with the location of the Fortress in the Arctic?
Anything to do with Clark's time in Russia?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

countries

Only a loose connection to Chloe in Odyssey. You probably need to focus on a different character

Nothing to do with the fortress

Nothing to do with Russia

[MrsK]

Well, Lex mentions Helsinki in Ryan, and one of the twins mentions Sweden in Idol - are you looking for Scandinavian countries?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Yes! That's it! AC was captured in Norway.

[MrsK]

Hydro
Fierce
Legion

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with abilities/powers? Is it character, prop or dialogue related? Related to a particular action? Something offscreen?

[MrsK]

Nothing to do with powers. It is dialog related.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Are the speakers: mains, RGs, SEGs?

----- Added 30 Seconds later -----

Same thing said each time or something similar. A reference to something perhaps?

[MrsK]

The speakers are Lois, Lex, and a female SEG.

Same exact words, although in one instance the name of the person being spoken to is included. Not a reference.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Lois in: Hydro, Fierce, Legion?

Lex in: Hydro or Fierce?

SEG in: Hydro, Fierce, Legion?

[MrsK]

Lois in Hydro
Lex in Fierce
SEG in Legion

[ReignoftheSupermen]

looking for a particular phrase then?

[MrsK]

Yes - actually a sentence.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

I'm going to have to look for this later. No time now.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

I just went through the transcripts nothing's standing. Maybe something about getting someone's message? or What you have got for me?

Is the SEG in Legion Garth? Rokk? Imra?

[MrsK]

It's a line that is said a dozen or so times throughout the series.
The SEG is Imra.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Something about Clark's destiny?

[MrsK]

No, not about Clark's destiny in these three cases. The line has been used in reference to Clark's destiny in other episodes.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Your secret's safe with me

[MrsK]

That's it. :)

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Craving
Accelerate
Noir

[MrsK]

Hm. Nothing springs to mind...

I don't think they have any music in common. They don't all have the same writer(s) or directors. I can't think of any common elements like allusions, locations, etc.

Is it plot, character, dialog, or prop-related? Something outside of the eps that I haven't thought of?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

A particular activity.

[MrsK]

Are mains involved?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Mains are involved.

In Craving - Clark, Lana
In Accelerate - Clark, Lana, Chloe, Pete
In Noir - Chloe, Jimmy

[MrsK]

Watching a movie?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Yes! Specifically a projected movie. You're up!

[MrsK]

All right.

Fever
Hidden
Void

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Clark unconscious/dead?

[MrsK]

No, that's not it, although in one of the episodes the connection has to do with Clark in one of those conditions.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with needles? Medical treatment?

[MrsK]

Not really

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Was the connection involving Clark in Fever? Hidden? Void?

Was it something that happened to him while he was dead/unconscious? Something somebody said to them?

[MrsK]

Hidden

Not something that someone said. Not really something that happened while he was dead, but sort of.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with a sacrifice being made?

[MrsK]

Nothing to do with a sacrifice

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Something that happened TO Clark while he out? Something that happened WHILE he was out? Anything to do with him waking up? Going missing from the hospital?

[MrsK]

A lot to do with him waking up. ;)

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Anything to do with a Kryptonian or Kryptonian technology healing/reviving someone?

[MrsK]

I guess so - I hadn't really factored in the kryptonian aspect, but you are almost there!

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Well in Void they used Green K, no? In Fever they used the ship. And in Hidden, it was Jor-el in Lionel.

[MrsK]

Yes. I was simply looking for the fact that a main died and was resurrected.
You've gone beyond that without actually saying it in so many words, so I'd say that you're up! :)

[ReignoftheSupermen]

OK, let's try...

-Hidden
-Wither
-Sacrifice

[MrsK]

Is it plot, character, dialog, or prop-related?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

prop

[MrsK]

paddles to re-start someone's heart?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

yes

[MrsK]

All right.

Fragile
Wrath
Tempest

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Broken glass?

[MrsK]

Nope.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Character, prop, dialogue related? Something offscreen? Something related to a particular action taken by one or more characters?

[MrsK]

a particular action taken by one or more characters

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Same character in all three cases? A main? RG? SEG?

[MrsK]

different combinations of characters (2 in each episode) - only 1 overlapping character in 2 of the eps

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Mains? SEGs? RGs?

[MrsK]

Lana/Whitney
Lana/Clark
Lois/SEG

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Lana/Whitney
Lana/Clark
Lois/SEG

Hmmm, I'm assuming Lana/Whitney in Tempest. Is it Lana/Clark in Wrath? Maybe Lois/SEG in Fragile? If so, is the SEG the child services guy? Maybe Maddie?

[MrsK]

You have the right episodes. The SEG is Maddie.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Do both members of the group engage in the activity? Is it a shared activity? Is it something one does TO the other?

[MrsK]

Shared activity

[ReignoftheSupermen]

Horse-back riding?

[MrsK]

Nope. Maddie and Lois didn't ride.

[ReignoftheSupermen]

anything to do with an explosion?

[MrsK]

No, no explosions

[ReignoftheSupermen]

whispering?

[MrsK]

Nope
