Best way I can describe Smallville is like a box of lucky charms. The marshmallows represent the most amazing moments in Superman history. And the cereal represents the odd moments. Does that stop us from eating it? Nooo! Because we know there’s more marshmallows!! lol The marshmallows made this my favorite show of all time! 🙌

Michael, Lex isn't the one who gave Lana and Clark the Luthorcorp jet to go to China, LIONEL did. Lex wasn't even aware of Clark & Lana coming to China. Lionel is also the one who set Clark & Lana up with that Chinese guide. Loved when Lana fell into Clark's arms in the street of Shanghai, these Clana stare moments spoke volumes! Tom and Kristin's chemistry was always beautiful to watch 😍

I think S4 had one fantastic new element that made people stick around, despite the plot being strained: Lois. To a lesser degree Jason as well, but the introduction of Lois just excited people and she was such a breath of fresh air we wanted more.

@TVFlix 2 месяца назад

I love Jensen Ackles, supernatural is one of my favorite shows and I loved him in the boys. However, Jason is one of the most pointless characters ever. The whole story arc is pointless and terrible. I guess he does the best he can but he’s still part of the seasons low points, not high points.

@Melissa.Garrett 2 месяца назад

@@TVFlix I totally see why you don’t like his arc overall, since it’s pretty obvious it changed out of nowhere mid-season when they knew Jensen would be leaving early. I hated the whole Isabelle storyline with a passion, but I do know that I, and many others, were ready to see an end to the constant Clana pining by S4. Jason’s inclusion at the start of the season initially gave me hope that the show was moving away from that, although it didn’t last.

@Costas22 2 месяца назад

The most iconic thing about this episode, for me, were the Christopher Reeve homages. I think Al and Miles were looking for a proper way to say goodbye to him and his character and this was it. Hearing his voice one last time as he tells Clark to write his own destiny will always give me chills.

@lloydrice6631 2 месяца назад

I understood the question as asking how kryptonite could be on earth before the destruction of krypton, since the explosion of the planet created it and it was basically radioactive pieces of the planet. Jor-el would possibly have been able to create synthetic Kryptonite as his planet's top scientist, but it still is a great question 👍

"Sacred" is a STRONG episode, so HAPPY that Tom loved it enough! In this one, "Rosenbaum's favorite storyline" explains itself a little more, and the Latin phrases from Michael are always AWESOME! Great scenes selected by Ryan! Thanks a lot for shouting out some of the important trivia! Nice to hear that the fight scenes were so easy for Kristin! The Clark and Lana = CLANA scenes definitely deserve some good mentions, and enjoyed the comments about the airplane and the actual distance to China! Congratulations To Geneva!

@chrismcelligottpark6416 2 месяца назад

What kept fans watching during Season 4 were Chloe and Lois. Chloe had shifted from being an annoying third wheel to being a secret ally of Clark, which was amazing. And Lois in general was a breath of fresh air and a wonderful tone shift. All the bits with Lana felt tired and overdone, but it was something for the characters to do, so it wasn’t the end of the world.

@user-Balthazar669 2 месяца назад

Couldn’t agree with this statement more if I had written it myself…

@44excalibur 2 месяца назад

You are absolutely 💯percent correct! Chloe was never annoying, it's just that Al and Miles couldn't figure out how to write her properly because she was the proto-Lois Lane, and they briefly considered having her become Lois. But you're correct, by seasons 4 and 5, Chloe and Lois had eclipsed Lana, who was no longer important to Clark's story once high school ended.

@ahmedbana4450 Месяц назад

Speak for yourself. Chloe and Lois were so extremely annoying. I never cared for either of them. Chloe was a little more tolerable.

@asyouwish3636 2 месяца назад

@@johnpage-tb6rei do think that the fight w Clark and Margarette-Isabel was pretty good actually. I do think the editing could have been tighter though. there was just a bit too much of relying on the audience to extrapolate information, for my personal taste. but to be fair that would have needed at least twice as many shots and probably an extra 60-100s of screentime that they prob just really couldn't afford w trying to squeeze all the stuff they did include. it was a pretty packed ep, and you can tell from the takes used that they edited down alot w Lionel/Lex and w Clark/parents (both scenes) in one of my editing classes in school, a homework assignment was to do a 60s fight scene and that footage was AWFUL, they only used 1 cam! very hard to coordinate. so believe me I get editing fight scenes is a challenge. but this fight was pretty good, so I think they had the footage, they just prob got network notes to shorten it. but I do think it's one of the top scenes in the ep!

@vbrandy7088 Месяц назад

@@44excalibur Smallville was a prequal to the Superman story not a Superman show. If the creators wanted to make a Superman show they would have started the series in Clark's adult life when he was already Superman. But the whole point of the series was to tell the stories of young Clark Kent before he reach that phase of his life. It's apparent that you didn't watch the show in real time because Clark and Lana's love story was one of the main reasons of Smallville success. The show wouldn't even have past season 1 without them b/c the series was built around their love story along with Lex and Clark's relationship. Sure there are people like yourself who hate clana but there are also a lot of people who love them. Clana being popular was one of the main reasons the writers spent almost 8 seasons on them. They would have never did that if Clana wasn't popular. Also Al and Miles original plan was for the series to go on for 5 seasons so they obviously weren't planning to get into Clark's Superman era. They wanted to tell these characters origin stories.

The moral of this episode for me is greed. These stones are meant for Clark only and it shows people’s obsession and what that will eventually lead to. Destruction. Clark racing to the finish to unite the stones which will lead to the fortress for next season! I’ve seen it but it’s been awhile so I can’t wait! ❤️❤️

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I like the idea of Isabelle as a character. It gives Lana a bit more to do other than simply being a damsel in distress. I just wish they'd done more with her. As that patron mentioned, it would've been cool to see Isabelle show up whenever Lana is in danger. Lana essentially having a guardian angel that isn't Clark could've been an interesting dynamic to explore.

@corbin_4738 2 месяца назад

Especially a guardian protecting her not for Lana's sake but because she needed Lana's body as a host. A villainous guardian, so to speak.

I agree with Tom. As a 15 yr old when this episode aired back in 2005, my eyes were glued to the screen. I didn't notice when things weren't making any sense. Seeing Lana with purple eyes and "purple finger" overshadowed all of that. Haha It was mysterious and intriguing to see Lana being possessed and fighting Clark. It was just so awesome! What they did with the "map" was cool. Nice location, superb acting and fighting from all. This episode may not be everyone's favorite but you can't deny it's one of the most iconic/memorable. Especially Lana's Chinese robe, I cosplayed as that for FanX last year and all the Smallville fans knew it was Lana from Smallville. Did a group photo op and Kristin was impressed when she saw me. 😭

@@44excalibur Kristin’s Lana was supposed evolve beyond just being Clark’s girl friend. She was very clear that as with Lex, she would be a individual that was independent and on equal terms as part of the big 3. Kristins Lana actually is one of the best characters in the franchise. In terms of her actually defining Lana as a strong character to be respected and reckoned with. In the end she matched Clark’s powers and Lex’s intelligence. Lana was a very popular character that drew in millions…and inspired one of the most iconic soundtracks in TV history. The WB was wise to greenlight the pilot based on Kristins Lana…but Kristin said, the Love triangle stories just pitted fans against each other. If Kristin had her way, her Lana would have been more of a close friend he could confide in instead of a object of his fantasies…though she did have the looks for it.

@@44excaliburActually it’s reality…Lana was so popular that she set the tone for the show The DVD commentary goes on to say she was a big reason the whole show got picked up.The fan base of smallville confirmed Lana was so beloved that the most viewed episodes had Lana centric storylines..Linage where she found her biological father got 9 million views, Slumber where Lana and Clark had the main story drew in around 6 million.,which by then was the last time the series got that number. Blaming Lana for season 6 is Laughable because she had less stories after she married Lex. In fact Chloe you failed to mention had more storylines that season.There was no problem with Lana evolving, in fact Smallvilles premise is totally non canon which made it better.

And the network agreed. These are the facts. Plus the producers who took over the show when Al and Miles left brought back Lana because she was so popular...they even gave her superpowers to boot, to give her character closure...which was basically a gift to Lana fans and Kristin... True Al and Miles only wrote the show to last only 5 years basing the show on his early years. And no the superboy comics never had Lex that young nor hanging out with Lana and Clark in high school. Not Lois coming and meeting Clark before the daily planet.... Or Lois finding out about Clarks powers before they work as reporters....if you want to talk about changing canon...you can start there..😂😂😂 Though I am Glad they got Erica on the show..her and Kristin really could have had many episodes together.

to this day I still don't understand why there was kryptonite by the map. I like Tom's theory about earth being a place where Jor-El visited from time to time. He did visit at least once that we know of so I could see him visiting more. In season 9 there's even a flashback showing Jor-El getting ready to take the stones (and an orb that will be relevant later) to earth. So even though the stones have been on earth for hundreds, if not thousands of years, I speculate that time travel is possible on Krypton and Jor-El took the stones to the past to hide them better. I love the fight scene though. Best part of the episode.

33:03 Tom completely misunderstood the question. The question was why was there Kryptonite in a shrine that was hundreds of years old when Krypton only blew up ~20 years ago. Kryptonite is what is left of Krypton. So how did the kryptonite get there because when the shrine was built, krypton hadn't exploded yet?

The funniest scene was Jason, in China, telling Lana he was in Metropolis and when a guy yells something in Chinese, Jason covers the phone. Are foreign languages not allowed in Metropolis? does it not have a Chinatown? lol

Love this podcast and y’all. Y’all definitely make my Wednesday better. The Lana and Clark fight scene was awesome. The reason that fans watch the show is because y’all rock. Purple finger blast definitely needs to be on a shirt. No Lois in this episode. Shout out to the set designer of this episode. Lionel definitely played a pivotal part in this episode. What do you know that I don’t know should be on a shirt. Jason getting the key was a twist. I enjoyed Lana’s line about the only people she can trust is Lionel and Clark. Great shirtless scene. The ending scene was powerful.

@asyouwish3636 2 месяца назад

@vbrandy7088 lol good point. although to be fair, I will say that for my 1st watch, it was kinda confusing about the Kryptonian stuff and Lana's ancestry cuz they sprinkled in so many side and sub plots in-between the main story. lol even as a binge, I swear it took til my 2nd watch to fully get what was going on! (not to mention they had a bunch of fake-outs not just the map is a picture, but stuff like the stones will save or destroy the world type stuff - which wasn't technically true)... and while I didn't mind the main story at all, I do concede the execution could have been better. look how great Charmed was doing at this point, by 2004-5 they were well established and had done was great job w very similar elements. but I get why this is his least favorite season of the 4 Michael has seen so far. I kinda feel like he's really gonna like S5 for its own merits (and of course S6 for the obvious, most eps are Lex-heavy! lol) but other than that stupid vampire ep, S5 is pretty tight. looking forward to that coming up later this year!

Ah the fight scene with the Sai's with the music playing in the background so good. Also Kristin goes on to play Chun Li in Street Fight the legend of Chun Li. Also the return of Byron Mann is now playing a different role who double crosses Lex Luthor. Also Clark Kent revealing Magic can hurt him. I think behind the scenes they were pushing Genevieve Teague to be the big bad even though Margot Kidder's was supposed to be but due to Chris Reeves death it got scrapped. I think Margot didn't want to continue due to his death.

I liked the "Stones of Power" storyline, because I KNEW, it was leading to the creation of the "real" Fortress of Solitude. Especially when Jor-El said that the stones hold all the accumulated knowledge of Krypton. That was the cincher, that the Stones would create the Fortress in the season ender.

What surprised me when I first watched it is that I didn’t know it would create fortress. I thought it was just an important crystal from the Fortress. Or how to get in the fortress.

Tom you're right, this was the first episode of Smallville I saw and was amazed by it. It's just great. Michael should remember that this is a show about SUPERMAN, which has a lore where magic is a thing and stories like this happen. It's always great to see those characters go out of town and have adventures. The theme of the season is a quest for the stones, deal with it. There are some inconsistencies (like the fact that stones were left there thousands of years ago) but generally I find the criticism to this plot much more stupid than the things they point out

Michael, it’s Lionel for the plane. Lana took karate lessons in the 2x19 episode where Lana hits the punching bag at the mansion, her training has nothing to do with Lex. At the Talon, Lana shows Clark the flyer where she takes Karate lessons. Lana know how to defend herself, we saw it in the series. I mean Kristin practices Martial art (black belt) and gymnastics since she was kid, she even was in gymnastics level national. I like the quest of the stones. The magic introduced is a great thing and part of the Superman Tradition. Lana is the main female protagonist of this arc and she plays her role wonderfully. In this episode, Kristin is so graceful even when she's fighting, the fight was epic, then we have the unique chemistry between Tom and Kristin which is captivating to watch. Finally, the premise of Lana and Clark in slow burn back together is great, I can't wait for the next episodes.

Tom's Jor-El theory is pretty good, except for one thing - wasn't kryptonite a result of Krypton exploding? It's not something that existed before that event, right? If that's the case, it still doesn't explain the placing of kryptonite in China by Jor-El before Krypton exploding.

Smallville doesn’t exist within its own universe. It’s in a defined existence within the greater DC comics multiverse. There are aliens, inter-dimensional beings, magic users, monsters, and even tweens using grapple hooks and batarangs (not on this earth, but you know what I mean). Clark and Smallville aren’t confined to the high school and “freak of the week” anymore. As such, we get these unrealistic stories because it exists in an unrealistic world. Remember Rosey: “Suspend disbelief”. You can’t watch this show in relation to something more grounded in our reality.
