SMALLVILLE: 8.10 – Bride – Recap

8-10-bride-promotional-photos-smallville-2813848-1450-967

Can anyone say Cloverfield intro?  I am not saying slight similarities either.  Before the beginning credits rolled, it was exactly like the first few minutes of Cloverfield.  It was entirely filmed on a cam-recorder with crappy cuts.  There was a party in the beginning, celebrating a wedding.  Then the lights began to flicker, leaving everyone wondering what’s going on? We hear an obvious monster roaming the room. The camera starts running, and shaking, people are hurting. Cue the opening credits.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved this episode.  I’ve been waiting for Doomsday to make his entrance for a while.  But Lana decided to make her reappearance in the show, completely ruining it for me.  Seriously, the girl doesn’t know how to keep a show good.  But I’ll get to that in a little while.

S8-10-bride-promotional-photos-smallville-2813845-967-1450o we start off the episode with Lois planning the whole Chloe/Jimmy wedding.  Where is the wedding taking place might you wonder? Why the Kent barn of course, because nothing is more romantic then the stench of horse crap?  Who in their right minds would get married in a barn? I don’t even think farmers do.  Jimmy goes to see Chloe, even though he continued to rant on about how unlucky it is to see her before the wedding.  However, Chloe has been getting some voice mails from Davis, telling her not to go through with the wedding.

At what seems like the last second, Oliver went to s8-10-bride-promotional-photos-smallville-2813821-1450-967ee Clark to ditch Chloe’s wedding.  Why? Because Lex is alive, and he’s got a way to track him down.  Clark said he can’t abandon Chloe on her biggest day.  After whining like a little girl, Oliver somehow manages to get Clark to help.  He steals a router, but decides not to give it to Oliver until the wedding is over.  However, one of Oliver’s men somehow downloaded the information with wifi.  That sounds terribly similar to the device used earlier on in the current season of Prison Break.

So with that information, Oliver was able to track Lex down to an undisclosed location in Cuba.  As soon as he got there, he saw a bald man.  Obviously it had to be Lex right?  Because no one else in the world is bald. So he shot the man through the head with an arrow.  Alas, it wasn’t Lex, but a mannequin that had a note saying – “sorry I missed you.”  8-10-bride-promotional-photos-smallville-2813820-1450-967Out of the shadows popped my most disliked character in the series, Lana Lang.  Making the show a whole lot worse when we learn that she is working for Lex. She never learns.

In a dark alley somewhere in Smallville, Davis Bloom is covered in blood trying to get in touch with Chloe once more. He took to big *clear* trashbags full of blood and probably body parts, and through them into the trash, only to get caught by a police officer.  When the cop noticed the blood, Davis transformed into Doomsday and killed the cop. The transformation, by the way, was awesome.

At Jimmy and Chloe’s wedding reception, it was time for the dance.  Lois was about to bail, when Clark took her arm, and started slow dancing with her.  The setting was perfect.  They were about a centimeter away from kissing when Lana walked in, ruining the show even more.

8-10-bride-promotional-photos-smallville-2813858-1450-967After Clark had some alone time with Lana (nothing happened, they just talked) Doomsday showed up.  While Davis may say he only blacked out, the reason Doomsday was there was clear.  The writers of the show thought it would be a good idea that the reason he showed up was because…of jealousy.  I’m not a complete fan of how they made Doomsday look.  It reminded me of a Transformer for some reason.  When Clark tried to give it a punch, it quickly grabbed his hand, and through him across the room.  And that’s respectable, since he is the one that is supposed to kill him one day.  When Doomsday went for Chloe, Jimmy tried to stand against him, but got slashed in the chest.  That’s when Clark was told that Doomsday kidnapped Chloe.

Chloe was taken to the black Fortress of Solitude, but she gives a weird look when she awakens.  I don’t know if it’s her eyes, or she just isn’t unhappy that a giant monster took her…I guess we’ll find out in January when it comes back.  It’s not over yet, kids, it looks as if Lex was watching the whole thing, while hooked up to a bunch of machines…niiice.

SMALLVILLE: 8.08 – Bloodline – Recap

Posted in Smallville on November 7, 2008 by awsumdave

Smallville Logo

The gist – Lois and Clark get trapped in the phantom zone.  Kara reappears.  Lois gets possesed by a superpowered evil lady who reveals something important about Davis Bloome. Heres the recap.

So this episode kicked off at the Kent farm.  This I am still confused about. Why does he still live there? Didn’t he make the decision a few episodes ago to move to Metropolis.  Is he still on the farm only to keep Smallville in it’s own show? Who knows, anyways Lois showed up wanting to live with him.  She said she couldn’t stand living with Jimmy and Chloe.  Out of no where, Clark received the crystal as a gift.  How? I don’t know but as soon as he touched it, he and Lois both were sent into the phantom zone.

SMALLVILLEWell the two wake up in the phantom zone, naturally.  Anyways, Lois starts freaking out when she saw two green suns.  Clark tried to calm her down, but come on Clark, try to understand her horror, she thinks you guys have been abducted.  Clark just acts like Skully, and says there is a reasonable explanation for it. A zoner than attacked them, but wait, its not a zoner, its…

SMALLVILLEKARA!

I’ve forgotten the last time we’ve seen her. I just remember being told that she would teach superboy here how to fly, and she never did, resulting in me having an angry face. That was last season, and now I’ve forgiven the show, cause it’s 5 times better now that they have Clark saving people again, and not fawning over Lana.  However, its also 5 times worse, because of the no Lex situation…

Well, Kara said she’s known for months how to get out, but she never did, cause she didn’t want to watch Season Six all over again, and have the zoners escape, like Clark did.  Lois woke up, and recognized Kara, she thought all three of them were abducted together.  Lois, sometimes you’re just stupid.  Well they went to the portal to escape.  Lois went through first, but a zoner did get out, and possesed Lois.  

At the Kent farm, Chloe found the blue crystal, which she pocketed.  Seconds later, Tess came out looking for the crystal that sent out a signal.  What is it with this show?  Doesn’t anyone ever understand that the Kent farm is private property? Everyone just walks right in. Chloe gives Tess the cold shoulder, and left.

Chloe had Oliver steal a device from Tess, and she used her Brainiac powers to hack into it, so she could possibly reverse the effects that it had on Clark and Lois, hopefully getting them back. 

SMALLVILLE

So, the new Lois, is apparently Zod’s wife.  She was looking all over town for her son, Zod’s son.  Finally, she found him. His earth name was DAVIS BLOOM.  She met up with him, and he was confused to see Lois act so strange.  Then she was so upset with him that he helps people, that she plunged a large metal beam into his stomach.  Saying that whatever kills you, makes you stronger. (Even though its the other way around.)

Chloe finally got Clark and Kara back to Earth, and told him right away about Zod’s wife.  He sped off to the hospital, cause obviously, thats where she would be.  So he tried to stop her, he tried to talk to Lois, to say sorry, but Lois threw him across the room.  Kara stepped in, and with a crystal, sent her back to the phantom zone.  Not Lois, but Zod’s wife.  

Back at the farm, Oliver spoke to Clark about his concern for Chloe.  She has too much power, and before too long, something will go bad, so he asked Clark to talk to her some more, somehow bring a stop to it all.  Kara left Smallville, probably for good.  She told Clark that she heard rumors of a lost city of Krypton still in existance. SO THAT’S where all these kryptonians are coming from.  

SMALLVILLE

Then finally at the end, we see that Davis Bloom had no injuries, to test how, he took a giant knife, and plunged it at himself, to which it shattered into a million tiny pieces. Another good episode of Smallville this season.  I had only one problem, DOOMSDAY IS NOT THE SON OF ZOD! It’s not a huge problem, but can you please…for once…have a character that isn’t related to Krypton?

SMALLVILLE: 8.05 – Commited – Recap

Posted in Smallville on October 17, 2008 by awsumdave

 

“Do you love this man?” – Psycho killer to Lois about Clark

Can I just say, thank you Smallville, for restoring my faith in you? Tonight’s episode was fantastic.  Lets just say that for all of you fans out there waiting for Clark and Lois to get together, you will love this episode.  Lots of Clois material, and it never gets old.

We start tonights episode at a congratulations part for Chloe and Jimmy’s engagement.  Lois was the first to toast the couple, but thanks to her drunkeness, Clark had to step in and finish Lois’s speech, saying that Jimmy was the right guy for Chloe.

Later on, after everyone left the party, a guy pulled up to the couple, and shot them dead.  Or at least that’s what they wanted you to think.  They were just tranq’d.  Cue the opening credits.

At the Kent farm, Lois woke up with a splitting headache.  Never fear though, because Clark was there to save the day, with some meds.  Well off they went with some excuse to go to Chloe and Jimmy’s place.  When they got there, they noticed Jimmy and Chloe never came home, which meant…they’ve gone missing. DUN DUN DUN!

At some undisclosed location, Chloe and Jimmy were tied to what looked like electric chairs.  They were being held captive by some freak of nature that seriously hates couples.  The guy got dumped by the love of his life, I’m guessing.  Maybe she cheated…ANYWAYS they were hooked up to lie detectors, and if one lied, the other got shocked.  If you lie, your loved ones get hurt…..brilliant.  The first question went to Jimmy asking if he ever cheated on Chloe, he said no, zap goes Chloe, but she forgave him.

Meanwhile, Lois proposed to Clark.  They found out that whoever took them also took several other couples, so in order to find him, they have to act as couples.  So their cover was two engaged lovers.  *Smiles*   

Back to interrogation time.  Chloe was asked if she was in love with anyone else.  It took her forever, but she finally said no, which was the truth.  Then it was over, that was their final question.  The killer set them free.

Which led to his next victims – Lois and Clark.  To make a long story short, Lois got caught, Clark asked Chloe and Jimmy if they knew anything, they said something that told him where she was being held, and he went to save the day.

When he got there, he was too caught, because the killer had a kryptonite bracelet.  Why, you ask? No idea.  Anyways, Clark and Lois had to go through the test.  Lois was first asked if she ever cheated on Clark, she said no and zapped Clark.  Then she was asked if deep down, she loved him. This took her a very long time, but in the end, with a tear, she said…YES. WOOOHOOO! Sorry, I get excited.  So Clark was asked the same thing, but Clark is special, he didn’t need to answer, he just saved the day. Boooo.  

Back at the Talon, Jimmy confessed to Chloe that he is not who she thinks he is.  He is really…..James Bond. No, he’s still Jimmy, he just lied about his family, that they aren’t as cool as he said they were, and they aren’t coming to the wedding.  But Chloe just said “It’s okay, pumpkin, I still love you more than air.”

Clark ran into Lois obviously avoiding him, but since he was there, they took the elevator together.  She took this time to explain herself to Clark, she said she was able to take the metal thing off her finger, so she lied.  It’s obviously not true, but Clark is such a….nevermind.  It looked like he was dissapointed, which is good for us, cause now we know they love each other….What are they waiting for! 

I can’t wait for next week, peace out!

 

Who else felt this episode was made after seeing the reality show “Moment of Truth,” a lie detector show, ruins relationships? Just a suggestion.

SMALLVILLE: 4.04 – Instinct – Recap

Posted in Smallville on October 10, 2008 by awsumdave

 

It’s that time of the week again! Thursday which for me it means Smallville, Supernatural, and The Office.  All that matters now is Smallville.  In tonights episode, a familiar letter Chloe wrote Clark surprisingly re-introduced itself, a new alien came to town, whose only purpose was to mate with Clark, and more of Lois and Clarks “platonic” relationship was addressed…here’s the recap:

This episode kicked right off with Tess inspecting more of the Superman-shaped crystal  she found in the arctic.  She hooked it up to a spinning gizmo, and before she knew it, the crystal shot out a giant blue beam resembling a lightsaber.  Within seconds the beam was gone and in came Maxima looking for a kryptonian. 

On the streets a civilian was saying something about “Pump and Dump time.” I’m sorry but that automatically made me think of a toilet joke.  Maxima showed up and made out with this random guy.  He eventually died from hormones shooting through the roof. So who else would investigate this but Lois and Clark.  I am really loving this whole Lois and Clark as partners thing, it’s like a dream come true.  

Jimmy showed up at the Talon, and found Chloe’s love letter that she wrote Clark in the episode ”Fever” in the second season. They have a little fight, and he ended up being vulnerable.  So he went to the Ace of Clubs, or whatever the bar’s name is, and drank.  

Meanwhile, Maxima followed where the beacon was sent, and found Tess at Lex’s mansion.  She wanted to know where the Kryptonian was, and thought Tess was keeping him all for herself, and went to the Ace of Clubs to find whoever Tess was meeting up with.  She went to the bar, and found surprise surprise, Jimmy drinking it up. Thanks to the bartender telling Jimmy there are other fish in the sea, Maxima hit on Jimmy and he took the bait.  They made out, and Jimmy just about died before Clark saved him.  Maxima saw Clark’s act of heroism, and knew that he was who she was looking for.

At the hospital, Jimmy told Clark about Chloe’s letter, just before Chloe ran in asking what happened. He kissed a girl…and he liked it.

Clark was investigating more on what happened to Jimmy when Maxima showed up at the Daily Planet with him.  She gave him a kiss, and apparently she must have some Red Kryptonite on her lips, cause he went all un-Clark like and started kissing her back. Being a TV show, someone had to walk in on them, and you guessed it, that person was Lois Lane.  She looked a little hurt too.  Clark stopped making out with Maxima to explain himself to Lois.  

Lois left after a small fight with Clark, and Maxima ran into her and then a cat fight pursued.  Maxima’s all like HE’S MINE, and Lois is all like “THERE IS NO ROMANCE BETWEEN LOIS AND CLARK!” Then Maxima said, “YES THERE IS!” Lois replied “NO THERE ISN’T” You get the point.  Before Maxima killed Lois, Clark came in to save the day.  He then denied Maxima, and she was sucked into a purple portal of doom.  Or she went back to her home planet…who knows.

Towards the end, Clark read Chloe’s letter, to which she said you had you’re chance.  He did.  All he wants now is for her to be happy. Though he doesn’t want to miss the chance when his true love walks into his life.  (Lois)  He told her Jor-El might have the cure to Chloe’s new power, but she needs to get the crystal back.  So Chloe went to Tess to get the crystal, but Tess said it was stolen.  At the end, Tess got an email from “X” saying he/she has the crystal, and that she’s not ready yet.  X, is that Lex or Maxima…who knows.  Maybe we’ll find out soon! Peace out!

SMALLVILLE: 8.03 – Toxic – Recap

Posted in Smallville on October 2, 2008 by awsumdave

 

This episode shot right off with Chloe and Clark kicking it at a night club.  She took this time to nag Clark with the fact that he’s always hanging around Lois, and that they are in love.  Well she didn’t say that…but it’s true…I SWEAR.  Guess who else showed up at the night club?  The Green Arrow, thats right, Oliver Queen, drunk as ever, falling all over the place.  What a mess.  Actually, he was poisoned, so I really shouldn’t be giving him so much crap.

Hey guys!

 So it’s time to save Oliver, Clark, he carried him to…I’m not sure where they took him, but it doesn’t matter. I think it’s the Isis Foundation, shut up if I’m wrong, cause it really…really doesn’t matter.  So Chloe called her new paramedic friend to help out, Davis Bloom, aka “Doomsday.”

At the Daily Planet, Lois ran into Tess, and Tess gave Lois the story on Oliver. Nothing else really happened here.

So here’s where the episode really get’s interesting.  We take a look inside Oliver’s head and see how he started off.  Apparently, he used to be a wealthy man, but for some odd reason, he was sent to a seemingly empty island, where he had to train himself to become The Green Arrow, for survival reasons.  He was there for two years.  Wow.

One day, after years of living on the island, he tripped over a poisonous flower and died.  Actually no, he got sick, and who was there to help him get better? Tess Mercer, going by the name Mercy back then, and looking a heck of a lot like Kate from LOST.

Oliver saved Tess’s life that day.  He overpowered their captors, and somehow took her off the island.

Back at the Isis Foundation, Chloe showed Clark who new super ability, and Clark told us, the viewer, a possible reason why she has this ability, and it makes perfect sense.  Last year, Brainiac tried to enter her brain, and something crazy happened, and he was very weak.  All his intelligence must have went into Chloe’s head.  THATS AWESOME.

So Chloe, with her power, found out that it was a flower that poisoned Oliver.  And the antidote was inside of a Luthorcorp building.  So Clark  went to ask Tess if she knew anything about it.  She told him that it was in Brazil, and even if they could get it, there would be no time to get it back.

At the Isis Foundation, Oliver began to crash.  Clark, of course, was right on time with the serum, and told Bloom to use the syringe.  Being a professional paramedic, Bloom should have questioned what the heck the serum even was, but time was short, so it’s understandable.  Olly woke up right away and told them that Tess was in danger.

Indeed she was.  Her captors from the island somehow tracked her down to Metropolis.  They came up behind her, but over the years, I guess she learned some good fighting techniques.  I mean, she’s a girl on Smallville, they all learn kung-fu one day or another.  But alas, her captor had the upper hand, she was ten seconds away from dying when Clark ran in and saved the day.

Oliver met up with Tess again.  It seems that they have dated in the past, something went sour, and now she works for his worst enemy, what do you know.  She handed him a folder for some reason giving him proof that Lionel Luthor killed his parents.  He got angry at Clark for that one.  I mean, best buds tell each other everything.

At the end, Tess bailed her captor out of jail, and poisoned him.  I guess that’ll be the end of that useless guy.  Pretty good episode, but just average if you ask me.  See you guys next week, peace out.

SMALLVILLE: 8.02 – Plastique Recap

Posted in Smallville on September 26, 2008 by awsumdave

 

This episode kicked off on Clark Kent’s first day working for the Daily Planet.  I’m excited! This is pretty big for Smallville.  I liked this episode…a lot. A lot of things happened that I’ve been waiting for way too long. Anyways.  Clark showed up for his first day of work in, yeah…flanel.  The first thing I’m thinking is, I like that he’s working for the Daily Planet…but I’ve never seen Clark Kent, reporter, wear flanel.  NO WORRIES THOUGH, Lois read our thoughts and got Clark some nice dress clothes to wear, blue, of course.  

Out of no where, a bomb goes off somewhere outside the Daily Planet.  The force alone was enough to knock Lois into Clark’s hands…teehee.  Clark set her upright, and sped off to save people.  You heard me right.  SAVE PEOPLE.  It’s about time!  Apparently there was a bus bomb…but not really…I’ll explain later.  To the right, you’ll see Clark ripping open a bus to save the people inside.  2 quick quesions: Do the people in the bus not see Clark using super-human abilities? and What about the people outside the bus…in plain sight? Anyways.  Among the people he saved was a 15-year old girl who DC comic fans will recognize as Plastique, to others, she’s just a girl.  And the other person he saved was Tess Mercer.

Chloe is also in Metropolis when this all went down.  In fact, Chloe spotted Plastique walking around in pain, so she went to help her out, and called a paramedic to help her out.  The paramedic, Davis Bloom, will also be a new recurring character this season.  Clark is still carrying around people, but the Daily Planet needed him.

At the Daily Planet, Clark was informed that “the boss” wanted to see him.  Guess who his boss is? Since Lex isn’t in the show anymore, it’s obvious that Tess would take his place at the Daily Planet.  She said she knew about his and Lex’s friendship, and that Lex “told her everything about you” (Clark).  She wondered if he knew where Lex was, like last week, Clark still didn’t know where Lex was.  When he left, Tess told her assistant that she would be keeping a close eye on him personally.

So at the hospital, Chloe offered her home to the 15 year-old girl she met earlier.  She said no at first, but warmed up to the thought. Out in Metropolis again, Lois and Clark investigate what happened further.  Lois wanted to get through the crime scene tape, but they wouldn’t let her.  Clark used his super-hearing to overhear there was no bomb.  Which led him to believe a meteor freak caused the explosion.

So obviously, his first step was to ask one of the victims of the explosion if they saw anything strange.  So lets ask…the 15 year old girl..of course.  She didn’t understand what he was talking about, and he told her about the meteor infected people, and she said that her friend Tony could have done it.  So it’s off to see Tony.  He freaked out when they were about to question him, and he ran, but he was cornered.  Just then a barrell next to him exploded.  We saw that Plastique here, killed him.  I knew it all along.

At the Isis Foundation, Chloe was struggling with a lightbulb, and who else to help her than…..Davis Bloom! Of course!  Anyways, there was a little bit of romantic tension here, but Chloe ended that showing him her engagement ring.  Which he automatically thought she was engaged to Clark, LOL.

Investigating some more, Lois and Clark are trying to find evidence that Tony was in fact, meteor infected.  It turns out there was no meteor rocks in his blood stream which only means, it was “Psycho Spice” as Chloe put it.

At Chloe’s apartment Psycho Spice was getting upset, had some fire in her eyes, and couldn’t control her power, though she was trying.  She told Chloe that some very bad people were after her, we the viewer know she’s talking about 33.1.  Chloe tried to tell her that she understood, but there was no stopping Psycho Spice, so Chloe bolted, and was almost killed, but Clark saved her life..phew! 

After everything has cleared up a bit, Clark confronted Chloe about her engagement.  She said the reason she never told him was because she didn’t want the things between her and Clark to change yet, and it will when she gets married.  Clark reassured her that everything’s okay.

At 33.1, or some other prison, Tess showed up to meet Plastique.  She told her she wants her on a team of “heroes”.  Which actually means villains, which actually means the Anti-Justice League.  Interesting.

At the very end, here we go.  Most people know that there is a secret to Davis Bloom’s character, some people don’t, but the point is, he’s supposed to be Doomsday, so my guess is it is like a Hulk-like thing.  Chloe called him to thank him for some things, and told him to be safe, and we see him lying in teh middle of the street, with something under his head trying to get out!

The all-time best picture ever

Overall…this was a great episode, lots of great Lois and Clark investigation scenes, I’ve been waiting for that forever.  Also, great scenes of Clark being a hero.  I’m actually excited for next week, peace out!

SMALLVILLE: Odyssey – Recap

Posted in Smallville on September 18, 2008 by awsumdave

Finally, Smallville is back! Hopefully, since Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are gone, the new writers can write some sense into the show, like oh I don’t know, FLIGHT. I would settle for some saving action too.  Last season lacked on the hero-bit, and had too much of the crying over Lana scenes.  Thank heavens she is gone.

(click to enlarge)

So we come back about one month after last season left off.  Lex and Clark and a temper tantrum in the fortress of solitude.  Lex found out Clark’s secret, and completley destroyed the fortress.  So now we meet the replacment of Lex this season, because he decided to drop out, Tess.  Formerly known as Tess Macher in the Superman movie.  She doesn’t do as much of a good job, but….whatever! So Tess is trying to find Lex, save him…whatever.

Out of the blue, the Green Arrow showed up and destroyed all their hard work. The Green Arrow wasn’t the only one there, but also Aquaman and…….super-chick. (I don’t know her name!)  Anyways, they destroy her work, which allows them more time to…..figure out where the crap Clark is.

RAWRRR I’M BLACK CANARY

 

So let’s talk about Chloe.  Last time we saw her, she was whisked away by evil men from the law.  Tonight, we saw her strapped to a chair using her mutant powers.  Powers that we haven’t seen yet, by the way.  She has rainman’s power and can memorize things, just in a…..super fast way.  THAT’S FUN!

So, I bet you’re wondering where Clark is right about now, well…….I’ll tell you.  He’s a Russian slave!  That’s right, our man of steel is working for a Russian who apparently saved his life.  Life is hard in Russia, so he tried to steal a jeep to escape, but his master didn’t like that. But don’t fret, Clark, your buddy, The Green Arrow, somehow found you! But he busted out a knife.

Woah, woah, hey now, woah, I come in peace!

So good old Olver bought Clark.  That’s right I said it, bought him.  You see it seemed Clark was working for the guy responsible for a Russian black market. So everything is for sale, even super-boy here.  They leave and Clark tells Oliver that he is powerless.  Okay, pause.  Every single season, it’s the same thing, he loses his powers for some reason or another, can’t you figure out some OTHER way to control Clark. ANYWAYS….

Chloe is still giving the government agents what they want.  THe latest assignment they gave her was to watch The Marix.  Actually, it was a computer screen with green numbers scrolling down, but…its all the same thing. They said they needed her help decoding the message to spell out three phone numbers to bad guys, when in fact, the numbers she was providing them somehow was magically giving them the locations of the Justice League.  She found that out at the last second, and didn’t give the last bunch of numbers, which was for Oliver.  They inject her with her mom’s DNA combined with Kryptonite, which in turn, lets them get what they want, so she gave them the last digits.  Where is Green Arrow, he is in their compound? OH NOES!

Clark and Oliver split up in the buiding.  Clark ran into Lois, who was posing as a security guard to get Chloe out safe and sound.  So they teamed up to save Chloe.  Well they saved Chloe, and Clark went back to get Oliver.  It seemed he got injected with Chloe’s mom’s goo, and asked him where Lex was.  Clark said he didn’t know, so Oliver shot an arrow straight through his heart.  Chloe rushed up to him to use her super-powers, but for some reason, she was useless!  So Martian Manhunter showed up, and flew Clark to the sun, which regenerated him.

So the sun helps Clark, but now the Martian Manhunter is left with no power.  That is a lie.  He needs power to look like his human self!  Anyways…Clark decided to move on from Smallville, and move to Metropolis, or so I assume.  Where else would he go? 

At Lex’s mansion, Tess is living the life.  Well, not really, she’s devoted to finding him, but whatever.  Her people brought back the Superman logo crystal from season 5’s finale.  They found that in the snow when they were building a snowman.

Chloe meets up with Jimmy Olsen, he told her he didn’t want her to answer his proposal, but she completly ignored him and said yes anyways.

And finally, at the end of the episode, Clark reveals to Lois that they are going to be neighbors working along side eachother at the Daily Planet, yyyyyyyyeaah buddy!

Usually premier episodes are really great, but this one just felt like an average episode, to tell you the truth.  It was alright.  Nothing special, I’ll catch you next week, peace out!

 

Smallville: Arctic Recap

Posted in Smallville on May 16, 2008 by awsumdave

Finally, the episode I have been waiting for the entire season seven of Smallville, the season finale. Now it may not have been as good as previous Smallville finales, but it got my vote. We got too see more special effects than I originally thought we would see, we saw Clark actually act like a hero for one, and of course, the famous season finale cliff-hanger. So let’s get started.

The episode started off with Edward Teague in a plane. When Kara suddenly showed up in the plane. This is where Kara goes crazy and interrogates Mr. Teague about where the device is that controls Clark. Frightened that she will kill him, Edward tells her that Lex has it. Kara thanks him by leaving him in the plane, and it crashing. Well, so much for the only surviving member.

It appears after we last left Lex, he was staring at a map to the Fortress of Solitude. Now we see what’s been going in with that. Apparently, he sent out a team to check it out, and the news came back that they have lost signal with his team. Jimmy showed up at Lex’s mansion a few seconds later.

Golly Mr. Luthor!

Lex decided that since Jimmy owes him a favor, he asked Jimmy to get Lois Lane off his back. He gave Jimmy some false information to give to Lois.

Back at the Kent farm, Lois showed up, and shoved a Daily Planet application in his face. Nice! Although, Clark said he does not want to work for Lex. Understandable, but, bummer. Maybe next season…

After Lois left, Chloe showed up. She gave Clark the newest headlines, Edward Teague was found dead. Upon further investigation, and the use of super-hearing, Clark found out that Kara was the culprit! This scene was just one bug recap to the first scene…boring!

At the masion, Kara is looking for the device. Apparently when she found it, it somehow hurt her. Clark showed up. He grabbed her, and they supersped to the barn. Wait a second, they were in Lex’s place. Wouldn’t he have some surveillance? Anyways, he tried to get answers out of her, but she just spin-kicked him. Ouch.

So Jimmy gave Lois the fake intel. She thanked him for being a good friend. Poor Jimmy, now he felt guilty.

Here’s a good scene. Lex got back home to his mansion, and Kara is just chillin’ in his seat. “What the crap are you doing here?” asks Lex, basically. Kara starts talking to Lex about Veretas. Lex acts his usual character and says, “Gee, I don’t know what you’re talking about, lady.” but he does, he knows it, and she knows it. She told him she was kryptonian, and that she was from the same planet as the Traveller. and that he has to stop the Traveller. He asked who it was, and she was all like,

“You’re kidding me..okay, think about it. If we come from the same planet.. And I am related to who? You’re a genius Lex, but its quite obvious that it’s Clark!”

Well that’s not what she said, but she should have!

Clark knows that he has to stop Kara, but the only way to do that is with kryptonite. So Chloe volunteers to subdue Kara.

So Jimmy showed up at Lex’s mansion again, saying he did what he was told to do. But Lex said he wasn’t done with Jimmy yet. Jimmy though, said he is not going to spy on his friend. Evil Lex says fine, and leaves. Oooh, what’s he planning?

So here is Chloe, she is about to force kryptonite on Kara. It didn’t work! Kara was not Kara. Kara was Brainiac this entire time! Well I guessed that like two episodes ago, but still. So Brainiac attempts to do to Chloe what he did to Lana. He does, but at the same time, he gets weak. Chloe’s power did something to him, it was weird.

Poor Chloe. :(

So now Chloe isn’t doing so well. She is at the hospital, Lana-like. Clark can’t take it anymore. He needs to destroy Brainiac for good. Brainiac was at a power plant sweating like a pig. He was there to get energy. Clark, however wouldn’t let him, and so they duel. Quick question, how did Clark know where to go to find Brainiac? OK back to the scene. Brainiac told Clark that in order to save his friends lives, he must kill him. Brainiac doesn’t think Clark could kill a…nevermind, Clark did it, and so Lana and Chloe were saved. By the way, if anyone is wondering, Kara’s in the Phantom Zone.

So Lana woke from her comatose state. Clark went to see her, but she was already gone. She did, however send him a goodbye video. And yes, superboy stated crying over Lana again. What. The. Heck. So Lois sees Clark cry, and gave him a big Lane hug. That was pretty cool.

So back at Chloe and Jimmy’s house, Jimmy was so glad Chloe was okay, that he proposed to her.

Before she could say yes, (or no) she was arrested! Thats what Lex was up to. While they were whisking her away she shouted, “Get Clark!!!” Jimmy doesn’t question this request. I would.

Back at Clark’s barn, Clark is still crying, and Jimmy walked up and was trying to talk to Clark, but Lana-crazed, he wouldn’t say anything. Then Jimmy said Chloe was arrested, and Clark out of no where was ready for some hero action. Jimmy told Clark about Lex going to the arctic, and Clarks all like, “Oh crap.”

Tell me that doesn’t just look like a purple glowing snowball, and Lex and Clark aren’t going to have a big snowball fight!

Here we go. The moment we have all been waiting for. Lex arrived at the fortress of solitude. At the fortress, Lex’s device turned purple and started to glow. At that second, Clark walked into the fortress. Quote of the day time, Lex says to Clark, “I must admit, Clark. This is a big step up from the barn.” LOL! So Clark is trying to talk Lex out of doing anything stupid. Lex doesn’t listen, he just shoves the purple glowing orb into the control panel.

Know what happened next? The entire fortress was destroyed! Completley collapsing into the ground. Oh, did I mention they were still inside? What!?!?! To be continued…

That was an intense episode. I can’t wait how they explain everything next season. Peace out!

Smallville: Quest – Recap

Posted in Smallville on May 9, 2008 by awsumdave

Smallville returned this week with “Quest.” tonights episode was all about the last surviving member of Veratas who’s been hiding in a church for years. So let’s get on with the recap!

It started off tonight with a cryptographer studying the strange compass like device that Lex found two episodes ago. The cryptographer said he needs more time to study it, so he left with the compass thingy. After everyone had left, Lex was attacked by the same guy who attacked him at the bank.

He was able to knock Lex out, and then he carved a symbol into Lex’s chest with a knife. Ew. At the hospital, we learn that the symbol carved into Lex, was in fact, Kryptonian.

That’s pretty sick…

Jimmy arrives home late that night. Chloe was a little concerned, but as it turned out she was just hungry for a little cheesecake. Maybe you should have ate his breakfast when he made it for you, stupid! Anyways, Jimmy keeps trying to get her attention. He tells her about how Lex is in the hospital, and that someone carved a weird symbol into him. But Chloe’s like, I want my dang cheesecake!

Where’s my cheesecake, boy?

Then her brain woke up a little, noticing the symbol was Kryptonian. So she sighed, time to talk to Clark.

At the hospital, Chloe showed Clark the photo. Clark then said it said two words, “Traveller” and “Savior.” apparently that meant savior to the Traveler, which meant, a Veratas member lives! Somebody owes me 10 dollars, I called it! By the way, why was Clark at the hospital? Was he visiting his dear buddy Lex? Don’t they hate each other or something?

So Mr. Secret guy who is apparently working for a Veratas member, found the cryptogram. By all means necessary, he was going to get that thing. Nope, Lex shot him dead.

So Clark and Chloe are doing some homework. They find out that the symbol on Lex’s chest was a message to Clark to go to some church.

Lex and the cryptographer are on a plane. They are headed to the church as well. The cryptographer found out something about the thing. Apparently there used to be a famous clockmaker. This man built a master clock, and the cryptogram is part of the master clock. Together, they will give Lex what he needs. So off they go, to the church.

So Clark arrives at the church. Inside, a strange monk comes forward. Apparently, it is Mr. Teague.

This guy was married to Jane Seymour?

He bows to Clark. Since Clark is his religion, apparently. The monk is mad at him for being a sissy, and not embracing his destiny. Haha! Apparently he has been watching this season! So he busts out the Kryptonite in his cane.

Bad actor, BAD!

I think I like this monk better.

Jimmy found out big news. Apparently these symbols have been showing up all over the place in Smallville. No, you think, Jimmy? Chloe shrugs it off, but Jimmy shoves a photo in her face. Its a cave drawing. It symbolizes a sacrifice. The same kind of sacrifice Clark is going through.

The monk is now going through a ceremony of sacrifice. He opens Clark’s shirt and starts cutting him. What dies he carve you might ask? The symbol many of you recognize from season 3 premier. It looks like a superman logo, but an 8 instead of an S.

Again with the sickness! Kudos to the make-up department!

Now Lex arrives at the church. He finds the master clock, a grandfather clock. Opening it up, he placed the cryptogram inside the clock. Here we go, what happened? The clock starts humming a strange song that normally you would normally hear with a music box. This goes on for awhile, till the clock twisted and turned. I was hoping it would open to reveal the batcave, but no, it just gave lex a little piece of something. The monk walks in and said he’s too late. They then fight.

Chloe goes to the church now. She finds Clark, and saves him. Clark then super speeds, and saves the monk.

On the plane ride home, Lex connects the dot. The song played told him to go to Scotland. But we have a flashback. Lex’s mansion came from Scotland. Lionel had brought it to Kansas, brick by brick. I remember that from season 1! So the key to everything is back home, at the mansion.

Back at the mansion Lex finds an orb. He places the key he found at the church, into the orb. The orb magically floated away, and up came a map. To what looks like the Fortress of Solitude. Oh yeah, I can’t wait.

Go here to destroy Clark Kent.

It looks like next week, Lex and Clark square off in the Fortress. It will be amazing! Peace out!
