MOD EDIT I don't think I'm one of a kind. I first started watching Superman on TV with George Reeves when I was a kid and have been hooked ever since. Smallville is a great show of a super hero coming of age giving hope which is uplifting for everyone and not just for the young. We had Superman first and I don't mind sharing.

I don't understand the deal with this episode either. Everyone's like promoting it like it's a good episode, web columnists, an advance review from this site..and then I watch the episode and it's like, eh? that's it. Eric Mastoff as booster gold I give him that, he was fantastic. The whole episode though? no.Comment

I'm sort of half convinced that all the advanced reviewers got to see another cut of this episode. A better cut. Because while I understand and respect that opinions will differ on any SV episode, depending on preferences and such, I just really didn't see at all some of the things that I read about in reviews.Comment

I think all the hype comes from Geoff Johns writing the episode just like with the other episodes he wrote. Personally, I'd rather have episodes featuring Clark than some new super heroes brought in to take Clark's hero thunder, but that's me.Comment

I am sure the fan boys loved it. They love
Geof Johns. I think AJ was over rated. The first hour was boring and b/c I'm not a fan boy,I was lost most of the second hour.
I did like Legion b/c the charactors from the future explained themselves.
I guess you can say the same for Booster but I had no idea who the Blue Beetle was.
And I guess seeing bumbling nerd Clark was just icing on the cake.
For a long time SV borrrowed heavily from the CR Superman movies when they run out of original ideas but now they just borrow from the DC comic world of Superman.

I think the ep did lived up to the hype, it was a great episode and a highlight of season 10. But i mean its the reporters jobs to get the hype going and buzz about the episodes, you want a postive buzz, its better than critics panning them, and that makes me so mad! All these Booster articles and interviews were awesome. I enjoyed the ep, but it wasnt hyped like a premier, 200 ep or AJ. It was just an event ep that delievered the popcorn goods.Comment

This episode was good for what it was. It accomplished everything it set out to be, the episodes plot made sense and was self contained, the directing and acting was great. I just wasn't a huge fan of the plot. The first half was a bit too campy but after the exchange between Booster Gold and Clark the episode got good and a lot of things fell in place. I'd say Booster would be the equivalent to Idol in S9. A good DP themed episode that was pretty self contained and effectively accomplished everything it set out to be. I don't think it was it good as his other episodes but it was a different feel from his other episodes.

Though to be fair I suppose I came in expecting to hate this episode... most of the Superhero meets Clark stories have made Clark look like a looser. So for me there was no pre-hype. This did a good job showing his strengths and actually keeping at Lest Booster very much in character.Comment

I didn't know there was any more hype than usual.

What is this hype you speak of?
For a SV ep, there was a lot of hype. And hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think it might have impacted expectations. JMOComment
