Smallville Tribond (GAME)

[MBrittan]

Time for a new game. Not that the old ones aren't fun! But there are some things I've noticed. The three threads involving quotes (Who Said It?, Who Said It?-Easy Version, and Finish It) are all "memorization" games. Great for people with photographic memories like Mrs. K and Skully. But my favorites on the board are Who Am I? and What Episode Is It? because they require that you analyze a set of clues. The clues do not always lead all participants to the same conclusion (which makes it fun). The new game I'm starting DOES involve that kind of analysis. It's based on an actual (board?) game many of you have probably played before called "Tribond". For those of you who haven't played before, I'll explain. It's very simple. Three clues are given and they all have something in common. The object of the game is to determine WHAT binds them all together. An easy example? a magnet, a flag, and Santa Claus - the answer? POLES. A magnet has two poles. Flags are displayed on flag poles. And Santa Claus (of course) has his workshop at the North Pole. Got it? Here is another example, this time using a Smallville theme. Whitney, Jason, and Clark - the answer? Smallville High quarterbacks. *For the purposes of this game, the questioner will have final say on whether or not an answer is correct. For example, if someone said that Whitney, Jason, and Clark all had LANA in common, technically they wouldn't be wrong but since the questioner was looking for Smallville High quarterbacks, the game would have to continue. And as is the case with all other games, the person who answers correctly gets to pose the next question. The clues can be ANYTHING Smallville-related (episodes, people, etc.). Since it's my game, I'll go first:

-Hereafter
-Thirst
-Action

Feel free to start guessing what "bonds" these three episodes together. *Please note that I'm going to bed now. I will be back online tomorrow afternoon to check any guesses you may have.
-M-

[krewsaider]

Capes I'm guessing. Clark sees one in Hereafter, wears one in Thirst, and receives one in Action.

[Krypto_marcus]

^ I think you're right Krewsaider.

[krewsaider]

Yeah. I have a feeling this is gonna be a pretty cool game.

[Krypto_marcus]

Yeah me too, this was a good idea Mark.

[skully]

Hehe, nice work, Mark. I think we should annoint you the official "gameskeeper" of the General Discussion forum!!

So are we all agreed that krewsy is right? Looks like capes to me. :)

[krewsaider]

If so, I thought of one last night. Should be simple.

- Sleeper
- Apocalypse
- Arctic

What's the bond?

[Vergon6]

If so, I thought of one last night. Should be simple.

What's the bond?
The Department of Domestic Security? Or more accurately, the DDS arresting someone (Chloe, Lois, Chloe).

Well done Krewsraider! You're up

Thanks! It just came to me last night. I listen to a lot of talk radio and a group of local guys in my area (Deminski and Doyle - no longer on the air unfortunately) used to play a game every Friday for prizes. One of them was Tribond. I thought it translated well to Smallville.
-M-

[Krypto_marcus]

- Sleeper
- Apocalypse

What's the bond?

Ace of Clubs?

[krewsaider]

Krypto marcus has it. All three episodes feature the Ace of Clubs. Your turn!

[MBrittan]

Ace of Clubs?

Have a new one for us Krypto_marcus?
-M-

[Krypto_marcus]

Sorry I was pretty busy yesterday.

Pariah
Reckoning
Descent

(Should be pretty easy)

[Vergon6]

Sorry I was pretty busy yesterday.

Pariah
Reckoning

(Should be pretty easy)
Someone close to Clark dies (Alicia, Jonathan, Lionel).

[Krypto_marcus]

Yep... You're up!

[lauraforever]

Fracture
Hero
Traveler
Arctic

(Pretty easy if people know me.)

[Krypto_marcus]

^You have to get a question right before you can ask one.

[Vergon6]

Ok well. I will do the only one I can think of at the moment. This is pretty easy I think. There are two related elements in each episode, I hope you know what I mean.

Hourglass
Scare
Apocalypse

[krewsaider]

In those, we see the world being nuked.

[Vergon6]

In those, we see the world being nuked.
Yep, at the hands of Lex Luthor. Go ahead.

[krewsaider]

- Desiree Atkins
- Adam Knight
- Marianne Taylor

What's the bond?

[MBrittan]

- Desiree Atkins
- Adam Knight
- Marianne Taylor

What's the bond?

At first I was going to say "hiding a secret" and then it occured to me. Hiding a secret IDENTITY. Is that what you were going for?
-M-

[krewsaider]

Yep. They are all hiding their true identity. You're up.

[MBrittan]

-Whisper
-Noir
-Apocalypse

[krewsaider]

I believe Clark wearing glasses in all of them is the bond.

[MBrittan]

I believe Clark wearing glasses in all of them is the bond.

Yep, maybe that was too easy?
-M-

[krewsaider]

Just a lil ;)

- Dr. Walden
- Jerimiah Holdsclaw
- Lionel Luthor

What's the bond?

[Vergon6]

Yep, maybe that was too easy?
-M-
Perhaps but I completely forgot about Marianne Taylor. I guess it's been awhile since I watched "Truth". I thinking making them a little easier for now might get more people involved.

- Dr. Walden
- Jerimiah Holdsclaw
- Lionel Luthor

What's the bond?
The Caves? Or an interest in them/researching them?

[MBrittan]

Just a lil ;)

- Dr. Walden
- Jerimiah Holdsclaw
- Lionel Luthor

What's the bond?

the obvious answer would be the caves, but I have a feeling you're going for something more than that.
-M-

----- Added 41 Seconds later -----

I'm going to say, "The ability to read the writing on the walls in the caves".
-M-

[krewsaider]

Yeah, there's something else I'm looking for.

[MBrittan]

Yeah, there's something else I'm looking for.

Didn't they all find an artifact in the cave? the key, the knife...
-M-

[Vergon6]

They all gained powers or knowledge as result of Kryptonian artifacts?

[MBrittan]

NO, I think I have it. They were all "transformed". Lionel by Jor-el. Jeremiah by the knife. And Dr. Walden when he put the key into the wall and had the Kryptonian language "downloaded" into his brain.
-M-

[Vergon6]

NO, I think I have it. They were all "transformed". Lionel by Jor-el. Jeremiah by the knife. And Dr. Walden when he put the key into the wall and had the Kryptonian language "downloaded" into his brain.
-M-
Yeah I think you have it.

[krewsaider]

Mark, you got it! They were all "transformed." Your turn.

[MBrittan]

Yeah I think you have it.

Actually, I think you and I were typing at the same time. Your answer is basically the same as mine and you got yours in first.
-M-

----- Added 55 Seconds later -----


Mark, you got it! They were all "transformed." Your turn.

OK, give me a minute. Gonna try to come up with a really challenging one. Maybe lure Mrs. K into this thread...
;)
-M-

[krewsaider]

Oh, I didn't even notice Vergon6's post. I scrolled/read fast. Sorry!

[MBrittan]

X-Ray
Accelerate
Oracle

[krewsaider]

I think I have it but not sure how to word it. Each episode had a character who wasn't really who they said they were. In X-Ray, Lex robbing the bank wasn't Lex; it was Tina. In Accelerate, Emily wasn't the real Emily; it was a clone. And in Oracle, Jonathan's ghost was really Brainiac.

A sound line of reasoning, but not what I'm going for...

[krewsaider]

Hmm then I will have to look into this deeper... :lol:

[Vergon6]

That's what I was going to say as well damn.

Does it have something to do with the episodes in general? Or is it something the titles have in common?

[MBrittan]

Nothing to do with titles. It's a "general" similarity
-M-

[krewsaider]

Ok. My thinking continues...

[Vergon6]

Each of them involve a visit to the cemetery!

[MBrittan]

[krewsaider]

Ooo you're right. That might be it!

----- Added 39 Seconds later -----

Oops already confirmed.

[Vergon6]

Ok, well this one might be easy. That was a good one. This will require preciseness in wording though.

Heat
Transference
Fierce

[krewsaider]

A Kent is behind bars in each episode?

[Vergon6]

A Kent is behind bars in each episode?
That's not what I had in mind ;).

[krewsaider]

A Kent is behind bars for a crime they didn't commit?

[Vergon6]

A Kent is behind bars for a crime they didn't commit?
No nothing along those lines. It has to do more with the actual people, and the connection does not occur when they are behind bars.

[krewsaider]

Could it be their heat vision being brought on by thoughts of sex? Clark did it a whole bunch in Heat, Lionel did it when hugging Martha, and Kara did it while staring at Jimmy.

[Vergon6]

Could it be their heat vision being brought on by thoughts of sex? Clark did it a whole bunch in Heat, Lionel did it when hugging Martha, and Kara did it while staring at Jimmy.
You got it :) Although saying heat vision due to just general sexual arousal would have done as well.

[krewsaider]

Ok. I'm working on one now...

----- Added 5 Minutes later -----

- Van McNulty
- Morgan Edge
- Lex Luthor

What's the bond?

[Jade4813]

Er...I know "they're all bad guys" is a bit vague. Um...they like guns? They're all three...okay, never mind. I'll bet I'm probably alone in thinking Rutger Hauer was ever hot (but, seriously, as Navarre...)

[MBrittan]

I don't remember Kara doing the heat vision thing for Jimmy. Yuck!

What's the bond?
They all learned Clark's secret.
-M-

[MrsK]

They all used kryptonite against Clark

[Lex Dance]

Is it something to do with manipulating Kryptonite?
Van McNulty made special bullets to shoot Clark.
Morgan Edge had a special necklace made to protect him from Kal.
Now Lex........ I've not seen all of S8 yet but does he make that ring, so famous in the comics?

Haha - just seen the timely introduction of MrsK! Maybe I'm too late!

[krewsaider]

MrsK had part of it, but Lex Dance you've got it. I was looking for the answer "creative use of kryptonite against Clark." You explained that pretty well. Looks like you're up.

[MBrittan]

They all used kryptonite against Clark

Mrs. K, it's nice to see you've jumped on board! :)
-M-

[krewsaider]

Yeah. MrsK's first time playing and she almost solved it on her first guess.

[Vergon6]

Well to complete the trifecta:
Van used kryptonite bullets on Clark
Morgan Edge used the kryptonite beads
and Lex shot Clark with a kryptonite bullet in the alternate timeline in "Apocalypse". And I guess what you were referring to was the kryptonite ring in "Onyx".

Oops, I see it's already solved.

[MBrittan]

Yeah. MrsK's first time playing and she almost solved it on her first guess.

Yeah, having Mrs. K post on your thread (your game) kind of "validates" it, lol. Kind of like Christopher Reeve's appearance on Smallville. :) :)
-M-

[krewsaider]

Haha. You must be so honored right now.:p

[MBrittan]

Haha. You must be so honored right now.:p

So honored that I just spent the last half hour coming up with one I think will challenge her. The next time I'm up, mine should be a doozy. :)
-M-

[krewsaider]

Oh jeez. Ya hear that MrsK! You up for Mark's challenge? :lol:

[MrsK]

I hope I'm up for a good challenge! :) (Although I also see the point someone made about keeping it easier in the early days to get more people playing...)

I think this game is a great idea; I'm looking forward to playing. So far I just don't seem to have had much luck logging on at the right time (i.e. when there is an open question)!

So where has LexDance gone?!

[Lex Dance]

I'm coming! I'm coming! :lol:
So here goes:

Victoria Hardwick
Dominic Sanatori
Jor-el

And Vergon6, I'd forgotten the Kryptonite ring was in Onyx. Thanks!

[MrsK]

British accents? :lol:

[krewsaider]

They've had a close relationship with Lionel?

[MrsK]

They've had a close relationship with Lionel?

Darn, I was just about to guess that! :\

I imagine you are right on, krewsaider. Victoria slept with him; Dominic thought Lionel thought of him as a son; and Jor-El used him as his vessel.

[MBrittan]

I think this game is a great idea

Thanks Mrs. K
-M-

[Vergon6]

Who was Dominic again? Sorry it's been awhile since I watched the early seasons, and I have only now been able to start watching Season 1 again.

[MBrittan]

Who was Dominic again? Sorry it's been awhile since I watched the early seasons, and I have only now been able to start watching Season 1 again.

Dominic was Lionel's lap dog assistant earlier in the series. And Lex's rival. Dominic thought his "loyalty" was more valuable to Lionel than Lex's "blood". He was wrong.
-M-

[Vergon6]

What episodes was he in? I have watched up to "Craving" on my run through on my new Season 1 DVDs. I have seen all the episodes a few times over, it's just for some reason that guy slips my mind.

[MBrittan]

Watch the episode "Suspect". He played a big part in that episode. That's the one when Jonathan gets accused of shooting Lionel. You'll know who he is after watching that one.

Ah ok. I have ways to go then. I was hoping to watch season 1 and 2 in production order ;).

[MBrittan]

Ah ok. I have ways to go then. I was hoping to watch season 1 and 2 in production order ;).

He appears BEFORE that. But it was the first episode that popped into my head where he was a big part of the storyline. Great episode by the way. Very underrated.
-M-

[Lex Dance]

Sorry for the delay but I need my beauty sleep!

British accents? :lol:
Along the right lines MrsK, but I'm looking for a little more..........

That fits too! But it's not the tribond. I'd forgotten Victoria had slept with Lionel! Those MB days were great, weren't they? :lol:

[skully]

Well, they are all played by British actors (hence the British accents!!). Is there somthing special about those actors? Terrence Stamp was the original Zod in the Superman Movies. Jason Connery is Sean Connery's son. Kelly Brook is quite famous in England. Have all three starred in the same English movie?

[Lex Dance]

No you've got it skully. They're all British - I just felt it important to make the distinction between being British and having a British accent. ;)

[skully]

Ok.

Dichotic
Fanatic
Action.

What's the bond?

[Krypto_marcus]

Every episode feature a guest who's obsessed by someone. ?

[skully]

Not what I'm after. Dichotic doesn't really fit.

[Krypto_marcus]

Oh yeah that's true, I mixed up Dichotic with another episode.

[smallv17]

Double Identities? (It was the main theme in Dichotic and action, but I'm not so sure about fanatic..)

[skully]

Not double identities. Think minor characters.

[Krypto_marcus]

A minor character in those episodes tries to kill a main character.

[skully]

No, a minor character does try to kill a main character, but not what I'm after. This happens in most episodes!!

[Krypto_marcus]

Do'h!

[skully]

Homer says concentrate on the minor characters!! :)

[Krypto_marcus]

hehe, alright I will;)

[skully]

On each occasion a minor character has a reasonable speaking part.

[Lex Dance]

Are the minor characters from Dichotic and Fanatic, Helen Bryce and Samantha respectively?
I'll understand if you don't want to give that away just yet. :)

[skully]

Happy to give it away. The minor characters are not Helen and Samantha. Look for a different minor character in each episode.

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

Summing up. The bond is a minor character with a speaking part. Simple.

[MrsK]

David Richmond-Peck - played the director in Action, the meter maid in Dichotic, and Sosnick in Fanatic.

[skully]

Hehehe, MrsK to the rescue. Nice work as always. David Richmond-Peck was the bond.

[MrsK]

Hmm... okay, then.

Wichita, KS
New York, NY
Los Angeles, CA

[skully]

Something to do with places Clark was going to go, or did go?

[Krypto_marcus]

The cities you saw in the end of Vessel?

[MBrittan]

Hmm... okay, then.

Wichita, KS
New York, NY
Los Angeles, CA

I'm guessing this has something to do with Lex sending missiles to each of these cities. Maybe in Apocalypse?
-M-

[MrsK]

Not in Apocalypse, either, or missiles.

The bond I'm thinking of found is in a middle season episode.

[Lex Dance]

Is it anything to do with Pete or his mother? He left for Wichita in Forsaken and told Chloe he was moving in Talisman, but I can't see any references there to the other two cities. Hmmmmm.........

[Vergon6]

Places Pete visited as a roadie before coming back to Metropolis in "Hero"???

[MrsK]

No, nothing to do with Pete or his mom.

Time for a hint? Something to do with a guest star in Season 3, 4, or 5.

[Vergon6]

No, nothing to do with Pete or his mom.

Time for a hint? Something to do with a guest star in Season 3, 4, or 5.
Maggie Sawyer? Wait no, she wasn't in Season 4.

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

Sheriff Adams? I don't how she has anything to do with those cities though.

[MrsK]

No, not Maggie Sawyer. Not someone who was in all three seasons - just one of the middle seasons (3, 4, or 5).

[Vergon6]

Hmm. Well technically Lois Lane was a guest star in Season 4, and she has been to Los Angeles and New York on assignment (but that was in Season 7). No idea if she has ever visited Wichita. So I am guessing it's not her.

[MrsK]

No, not Lois or Sheriff Adams.
The character with the connection to the three cities is male.

[Vergon6]

Ok I am just going take a shot in the dark since this character has an extensive backstory (although fabricated), Adam Knight?

[MrsK]

No, not Adam, but that is a good guess. This guy shows up sometime after Adam.

[MBrittan]

Could it be Graham from Fade? If memory serves, he was pretty well-traveled. Said his "business" took him all over. Did the murder he committed at the beginning of the episode happen in Witchita?
-M-

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

Possibly something to do with that Angel of Vengeance chick (Andrea) or her mom?
-M-

[MrsK]

No; neither Graham nor the Angel of Vengenace. Earlier.

[Kal26]

Bart Allen?

[MrsK]

Yes! Now, what is Bart's connection to Wichita, New York, and Los Angeles?

[MBrittan]

Yes! Now, what is Bart's connection to Wichita, New York, and Los Angeles?

Does this have something to do with his courier job?
-Mark-

That was in the second part of my answer, so if it's right, do we both get to ask a question? Or was I wrong to include two answers at one time? I didn't think of that until now.

Hey Kal26. You worry too much! :lol:
I think krewsaider's looking for something more obscure, but I can't get past the obvious connections. :\

I guess you could say it's obscure, but I thought this was going to be an easy one.

They are all no longer regulars on the show?

[Twitch]

They were all at one point depicted as "Guardian-like" figures to Clark? Jonathan was his father, Lionel was sort of a second father when Jonathan died and vessel of Jor-El, and Kara was sent from Krypton to watch over him as a baby when he landed?

[krewsaider]

Still nobody has it. It involves incidents that happened in S5 and S7.

[Kal26]

They've all fought with Clark in one way or another?

John to get him back from his red K spree.

Lionel, just being Lionel.

And Kara in the alternate future that Clark saw, and when she first came to earth.

[Twitch]

They were all impersonated or controlled by Brainiac? (Actually I can't really remember if that was ever the case for Lionel...)

[Lex Dance]

Kal26, that's what I'm thinking (at least in a physical sense). But I can't remember a time when Clark and Lionel fought.

[Kal26]

I'm not sure they have directly, but I know Lionel has been behind people attacking Clark.

[Twitch]

They sort of fought in Transference at the end, when they were in each other's bodies. But then again that was season 4 so it wouldn't apply to krewsaider's S5 and S7 clues.

[krewsaider]

They were all impersonated or controlled by Brainiac? (Actually I can't really remember if that was ever the case for Lionel...)

That's what I was looking for. They were all impersonated by Brainiac. He impersonated Jonathan in Oracle, Lionel in Persona, and Kara in Arctic.

[Kal26]

Nice job Twitch! :D

[Twitch]

Thanks. :)

Let's see here...

-Insurgence
-Lucy
-Hidden

[krewsaider]

Clark does his "super jump" in those episodes. Across the Daily Planet and the Luthorcorp building in Insurgence, onto the semi in Lucy, and up onto the missile in Hidden.

[Twitch]

Yep that's it!

[krewsaider]

Alright. Quick one I thought of:

- Egypt
- Honduras
- China

What's the bond?

[MrsK]

Places the stones were found?

[Twitch]

Locations Lex has traveled to?

Egypt in Crusade, Honduras in Hypnotic and China in Sacred.

[krewsaider]

MrsK has it. It's the location of each of the Stones of Power.

[MrsK]

Okay. One that is a little easier than my last...

Lineage
Witness
Crusade

[krewsaider]

This might be the answer but I feel weird saying it. Is the bond that each episode features a nude Clark? :lol:

[MrsK]

Yep! You're up.

[krewsaider]

Wow. Ok. Let me work on one.

[MBrittan]

This might be the answer but I feel weird saying it. Is the bond that each episode features a nude Clark? :lol:

MRS. K!!! <I thought you were a good girl!>
-M-

[krewsaider]

I thought that it seemed a little strange when I realized that could be answer. I thought it couldn't be but I tried it anyways.

Ok I got one:

- Red
- Rush
- Hero

What's the bond?

[MrsK]

Pete uses green K against Clark?

[krewsaider]

Yep. That's it.

[MrsK]

All right. How about:

Heat
Accelerate
Devoted

[krewsaider]

This one is stumping me. I keep coming up with stuff but they only fit 2 episodes; not 3.
:(

[MrsK]

Sorry - my mistake with the third episode!

Should be:

Heat
Accelerate
Facade

Does that help at all?

[krewsaider]

It does. There is a song by Avril Lavigne in each episode. Is that what you're looking for?

[MrsK]

It is. You're up.

[MBrittan]

I was thinking of new staff members at Smallville High (Desire, Jason) but I couldn't get Accerlate to fit.
-M-

[krewsaider]

What's the bond?

A crater?

[MrsK]

The actress that played Raya and Evan's mom...Pascale Hutton?

[krewsaider]

Yep, it's Pascale Hutton. Mark, I never thought of the crater. That's a good one. MrsK's up.

[Twitch]

A crater?

Was just about to type that!

[MrsK]

Kara
Thirst
Zod

[krewsaider]

Someone gets a job at the Daily Planet. Lois gets hers in Kara, Chloe in Thirst, and Jimmy in Zod.

[MrsK]

Well done, krewsaider. Your turn!

[MrsK]

They've all kissed Lois?

[krewsaider]

Of course. Your turn.

[krewsaider]

Lionel doesn't appear in those episodes but I assume that's too easy to be the answer.

[MrsK]

No, that isn't it.

I'm not even sure where to start with this one...

[krewsaider]

Yeah it's pretty tricky.

All three titles have two syllables? Haha

[MBrittan]

I guess we have to start somewhere. I'll say each episode has a death of a guest star...
Zero - the Jude Royce imposter
Spirit - Dawn Stiles
Combat - Titan

Yeah, I was impressed with how quickly krewsaider got that one! Thought it would take a while. Then again, I thought this one would go quickly, so it just goes to show what I know!

[krewsaider]

I think I've got it. The episodes begin with what happens in the end and then flashbacks to the events leading up to it.

WOW!!! Krews you are the MAN! GREAT JOB!

[krewsaider]

Thanks Mark. I started going through the episodes in my head and realized that the opening scenes were all things that happened later chronologically.

Stay away from me. Because you're ON FIRE! :)

Uh-oh. Mark promised that his next one would be a doozy! :D

-Run
-Blank

[krewsaider]

Oh yeah. I completely forgot. Well, bring it! :p

[MrsK]

Guests who are good guys with powers that they didn't get from kryptonite? (Not sure if that is true of Kevin Grady, though...)

[krewsaider]

Clark meets people with abilities that exceed his own? Bart's faster, Kevin's better at erasing memories(doesn't really fit), and AC can swim faster.

[MBrittan]

no and no

Kevin - Talon cash register
AC - 8 dolphins

[krewsaider]

Does it have something to do with visits to the Talon?

[MBrittan]

nothing to do with the Talon

[krewsaider]

Ok then that rules off checking the Talon scenes in each episode haha.

[MBrittan]

This one (I'm pretty sure) is one you'll KNOW once you've got it. You almost won't even need to ask me if you're right. This might be one you take to bed with you tonight. It could be the kind of thing that comes to you at 3 or 4 a.m., lol
-M-

[krewsaider]

Oh jeez. I better figure it out then. :)

[MrsK]

The pressure's on!

[MBrittan]

Actually, I may be off to bed in a few... But I will be back on again around 11 or 12 tomorrow (my time)
-M-

[krewsaider]

Alright. Let's see if we can figure it out, MrsK.

[Dr. Walden]

Huh. Arrow and Hypnotic both involve a stolen necklace, but I can't find the link from there to Bizarro, unless we're talking about Clark's stolen DNA.

[MBrittan]

Old question Dr. Walden. The current one is:
-Run
-Blank

[krewsaider]

You mean Aqua, not Arrow.

[MBrittan]

Yes, thank you. I was combining mine with an old one that had already been solved.

[krewsaider]

Lionel doesn't appear in any of them?

[Dr. Walden]

Oops I've never done that before.

All of them featured a guest star that acquired their powers outside of Smallville? I would say they didn't acquire them from meteor rocks, but it was unclear whether or not the memory technology in Blank used meteor rocks or not—I assumed it was, considering it was Summerholt.

[skully]

Looks a fair stab, Dr Walden.

[MrsK]

I'm thinking maybe references to Miami?

Bart and Clark run to Miami in Run
Clark tells Chloe he's thinking of attending the Univ. of Miami in Blank
AC is on the Univ. of Miami swim team

[Kal26]

All episodes in which Clark gets whoooped on.

He gets his mind wiped in Blank.

He gets out run by Bart in Run.

And he gets pretty much taken in the water by A.C. in Aqua.

[krewsaider]

I'm thinking maybe references to Miami?

Bart and Clark run to Miami in Run

I was thinking that but I couldn't find a Miami reference in Blank. I think you might have it.

[MrsK]

We'll see! I spent the morning at the dentist's office thinking about it, and that's all I could come up with! But, hey, it's good to have something else to think about while the dentist is drilling!

[krewsaider]

Yeah. If it's gotta be anything, make it Smallville. :)

[MrsK]

That was a really tough one; nice job, Mark. How about:

-Ken Oben
-Brian Knight
-Graham Murray

[krewsaider]

Who are these guys? Football players? Baseball?

[MrsK]

Maybe. :)
That's the point of the question, yes?
We see their names, not them.

[Kal26]

That was a really tough one; nice job, Mark. How about:

-Ken Oben
-Brian Knight
-Graham Murray

Steve Oben is a set/ costume designer on the show.

Brian Knight was second assistant director of the pilot.

And Graham Murray did production design on the pilot.

Don't know about Ken Oben.

[Lex Dance]

MrsK, is Ken Oben a typo? If you meant Steve Oben, as Kal26 suggests, could the bond be something to do with appearing on DVD extras? Steve Oben was on an S3 easter egg with MR camping it up!

[MrsK]

Okay, but their names have appeared in the show as Smallville residents, and that is the sort of connection I am looking for.

krewsaider was actually on the right track with his first question about football or baseball players.
Your identification might help narrow down the season in which their names appear...

No - it has nothing to do with dvd extras, and as I said, I'm not talking about the actual people who work or worked on the show (SV often uses names of the crew in random places) - the connection is in an episode.

[MBrittan]

That was a really tough one; nice job, Mark. How about:

-Ken Oben

Thanks for the kudos. These names don't ring a bell. My first thought is (former) Smallville High athletes...
-M-

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

Could they be the names that appeared on the list Lois and Clark looked at on the army base? (I think the episode was "Gone") - the list which had the name "Nellie Bly" on it, Chloe's "hero"?
-M-

[Lex Dance]

How about football players from Smallville High who got scholarships to Met U, prior to Clark in Recruit?

[MrsK]

You would be on the right track going in the former SV High athletes direction. These three share something a little more specific than that, though.

----- Added 49 Seconds later -----

Nope. They are former SV High football players, but the connection isn't scholarships to Met U. Good guess, though.

Not in Sam Lane's log book.

[Lex Dance]

Were they previous "scarecrows" bullied by the frat boys as Clark was in Pilot?

[krewsaider]

Are they the football players who Jeremy Creek set out to seek revenge on?

[MrsK]

No, they weren't former scarecrows, nor were they (as far as I know) the players Jeremy was after.

[krewsaider]

Teammates of Jonathan Kent?

[MrsK]

No. Much younger than Jonathan; closer in age to the likes of Wade Mahaney and his buddies; maybe a little after them, but still graduated before Clark reached high school.

[Vergon6]

Teammates of Geoff Johns at MetU?

[MrsK]

No, the connection has to do with Smallville High, not Met U. Possibly high school teammates of Geoff, though, but that's not what I'm after.

Okay.

[krewsaider]

What season are they mentioned in?

[MrsK]

Not mentioned; we see their names. S1.

[Kal26]

Were they players in the homecoming game the day of the first meteor shower? (kind of a shot in the dark, I know) :)

[MrsK]

No. The names occur AFTER the pilot.
