Episode 18 - Drone


Again with a perfect job on casting don't you think?I mean Sasha (Shonda Farr) was totally convincing in her part as a obsessed over achiever.To have control over something like bees would make a pretty nasty ability to have and to get to unleash them on your enemies.Just think about letting them loose on all the criminals in the jails around the world.You can't tell me that it wouldn't cut down on crime.lol

I really felt for Chloe and her position she had to take on who she would support for class president.I can see myself getting mad like Clark did at first , but I thought it really showed Chloe's integrity.Yes always be supportive of your friends, but don't forget about the issues at hand either.

You got to love all the manipulating that comes with being a Luther.Just when you think that someone is going to get the best of Lex.He always manages to not only pull himself out of it, but also come way ahead.Of course no one I know could ever do justice to the part like Michael Rosenbaum does.Charismatic ,mysterious and looks is the very definition of what we all either want or admire in a bad boy and Michael always does that to perfection.

Episode 17 - Reaper


O.k I have always thought that terminally ill people should not have to go through alot of pain and suffering , but I believe this takes it to a whole other level.I mean to be able to touch somebody and they just go into ashes is a little to scary of an ability to think about.If he had a truly evil heart, could you imagine what all he could have gotten away with in the world.Even Clark as strong as he is felt the life being drained from him.

How do you guys feel about assisted suicide ?Do you think that you are really doing a good thing by putting the person out of pain or do you think it should be a higher power's decision when your time is up?

I did like the last part and what Lex did for Whitney and his dad.Of course it was all Clark who asked him to do it and that is just what makes Clark Super in my book.

Episode 16 - Stray

I really loved this episode because of the relationship/bond that was formed between Clark and Ryan.I myself always wished I had a brother, don't get me wrong I love my sister.It's just that I wished I had a brother to and funny story is that my sister wished me here.She always said that she would pray and wish that our mom would have her a baby brother and here I am.lol

You could just see how happy that Ryan made the whole Kent family, not just Clark.I felt so bad thinking what it would have been like for him to have his gifts and be trapped to live with such an evil pair of people.I mean did you see how his stepfather just blew away his wife and then a harmless janitor without a second glance.Although I have thought it would be nice to be able to know what others are thinking.I believe there is some stuff in people's minds that is better left there.

The last part was both sad and sweet in the way that Ryan told Clark he didn't need his Warrior Angel comics anymore because he had him.

Episode 15 - Nicodemus


Let me start by saying that if you are not a Clana fan , you probably will not like this blog entry.lol. Believe me when I say that I would never knock another person's ship , but this is who I think Clark is destined to be with.I think everybody sees the show differently and maybe they can see Clark being happier with a different person.That's what I think is great about this show that we can all have different opinions, but still the love of the show unites us all.

O.k now the episode, wow does the flower pack a punch or what?I mean it made Johnathan shoot Clark ,Pete go postal on Lex and of course gave Lana the balls ..hehe..to say and do what she had always wanted to , but didn't have the nerve to do.Even though it was a little harsh when she told Whitney that he was no fun anymore, with all the stuff he is going through with his dad.I still loved both the scenes with Clark and Lex.When she told Lex that he just got into the partnership with the Talon because she asked him to.I bet that part made the Lexana (Lex+Lana) fans go wild.


I think Clark was both in heaven and about to lose it when Lana did her little strip tease seduction on him.Just goes to show you what her secret desires are , as we didn't know at this point.lol.It is actually funny how Clark gets more action than most high school guys by all the strange things that go on in Smallville.I mean Chloe kissing him in Hug and now Lana lip locking with him.

The end was great in my opinion with Clark braving his fear of heights so he could help Lana overcome her fear as well.

Episode 14 - Zero


We finally get to see a glimpse of Lex's deep dark past that we had only gotten hints about before this episode.If you look back on the episodes leading up to this one , you will find references to what happen in this episode.Sam Phelan had mentioned to Lex about Club Zero in Rogue and I think there was something else in another episode mentioning this, but can't remember it right now.lol

I will have to say that if you want to really get someone's attention..send them a hand.Now that's what I call seriously messing with somebody's head.No wonder Lex has issues , first being raised by a dominate Father who always challenged him to be ruthless and then all the enemies he has made repaying old grudges.

On a happier topic though , the Talon opened in style and I thought it was very cool when Clark gave Lana that picture that was his grandfather's.Of course I always look for a deeper meaning to all things Smallville. So I think that it was not only a very sweet gift , but also another way for Clark to feel connected to Lana.

Episode 13 - Kinetic


Here is another case of how believable the show is in my opinion.Put yourself in Whitney's shoes and you can understand why he was tempted to the dark side.Living in a small town most of my life myself, I can definitely relate to what he was feeling.I never was the star of the football team , but I still wanted to go out in the world and not be stuck in one place.



Poor Chloe, talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.It shouldn't surprise us though too much with it happening at the Luther Mansion and how many enemies the Luthers have.I am just glad that it didn't kill her and it's a wonder it didn't with how much of a fall it was.My heart really went out to Clark to because of the way he was beating himself up for not being there.

So it begins the partnership between Lana and Lex with running the Talon.I understand and respect Lana for stepping up to save the Talon, but does she really know what she is getting herself into with this new endeavor.

Episode 12 - Leech


Hello everyone, sorry I hadn't been around for a few days.I have been uploading screencaps on my new screencaps website.I hope you guys will check it out Free Screencaps Directory .I already have episodes 1 - 13 of season 1 and I work on it everyday, so there will be more very soon.

O.k now to the episode... first off that would really suck as far as having these amazing powers and then someone snatching them.I could definitely see what Johnathan was telling Clark about why Eric (Shawn Ashmore) was consumed by Clark's powers and Clark never did.The Kent's are the ideal family in my opinion and have raised Clark to be a very loyal and caring person.



As for Eric though , you can understand why he feels he has to lash out with the powers.He has a very strict father and once again is not seen as one of the more popular kids in school.So you can definitely see why he just wants to stand out and be noticed.Of course he does it in the wrong way,
but I know I felt that way in high school and I would have probably wanted to get back at some people to, if I had such powers.Thank God I had a great Mom that supported me and taught me to be strong and not worry what others thought of me.


I really enjoyed getting to see Clark have fun for a change.Like Lana told him that he didn't look like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.Think about having that much responsibility and never being able just to relax and have fun.I mean even when he was getting hurt and losing at basketball, he was still having the time of his life.


Didn't you just love the way that just when Victoria and Sir Harry thought they had the upper hand on Lex , he pulls one on them.Oh and when he tells Victoria that she better go check on her father because he didn't look well...hahaha

Episode 11 - Hug

First off I want to say that I loved what Clark said at the beginning when him, Lana and Chloe were riding horses.Clark and Lana was talking about careers when they got older.Clark said that he didn't want to be a farmer and that as long as the job didn't require wearing a suit and flying around it would be alright or something like that.lol.Oh and of course the joke that usually comes up about Clark being afraid of heights.I think that is a great part of Smallville.


O.k now for the episode...I have to admit this ability would be very tempting to have.I mean to touch someone and they do whatever you want them to...humm.Of course with any of these cool abilities there is always an evil person waiting to use it.Could you only imagine if you were for example a car salesman.You would probably put everyone in the county in debt with this.


Anyone else notice the way it's creatively added into a lot of the conversations about loyalty and friendship.Where Kyle tells Clark why he thinks it's bad to have friends, Because they will always betray you in the end.Now who do you think they are referring to here..maybe Clark and Lex.Yes they are friends now , but you can see where Lex's curiosity about Clark could ultimately cost him their friendship.


I bet the Chlark (Clark + Chloe) fans loved this part and even though she was under the meteor influence , deep down so did Chloe.lol .On the next part did you see how much fun Lex had shooting Clark.I know he was also under the meteor influence , but he almost seemed joyous.I did love the line he delivered once he saw Clark speed Kyle to safety..Clark you got some explaining to do. (Lucy Reference)



The end was pretty cool with both the talks between Lana/Clark and Lex Clark.First Lana telling Clark that they would be friends for a long time.Then with Lex you notice when Clark asks if Lex thinks that himself and Lex would end up like Kyle and Rickman as far as friendship goes.To which Lex replied...Trust me Clark our friendship is going to be the stuff of legends.

Episode 10 - Shimmer


Here is another example of the great writing on the show in my opinion.The abilities that the meteor infected or meteor enhanced people have really go with their personalities.I guess I always put myself in the person's shoes when I am watching an episode.When I was in high school I wasn't in the popular crowd and sometime's you really can feel invisible.Not that I minded though , I think by not being Mr. Popular made me a more humble person.


Of course I couldn't write about this episode and not post this picture..*Drooling*. If you haven't figured it out by now I am totally in love with Tom Welling.Not for just the reasons you are thinking either.I mean I of course think he is the hottest guy in the world, but I also get mesmerized watching his acting.O.k I will get back to the episode now.

I am what you call a Clana Fan (Clark + Lana) and I guess always have been.I mean when I first started watching Smallville , it was not because it was a show about Superman.I was drawn in by the amazing actors/actresses and the storyline.The reason I am such a Clana fan is because of how much you can feel the passion between them.That longing to be with someone that totally completes you.


Talk about running someone out of town, I think after I almost got drowned by an invisible person.I think I would be wanting to get out of there to.I loved the back and forth as always with Lex and Lionel , they always say the funniest things to each other.I would say that being a Luther would require you having a thick skin and be able to swim with piranhas.


Once again we get to further see how much of a noble person Clark Kent really is.I mean when he had his chance with Lana and chooses not to act on it.He instead tries to help by being a mediator between Lana and Whitney.Is there really anybody left in the world like this I wonder?Truly selfless and willing to do anything to protect the people they care about.


So once again Clark makes sure the day is saved for everyone , but when will Clark's day come to be saved?

Episode 9 - Rogue


I tell ya can't a guy get a break from saving the world? As Chloe states in later episodes..not if your Clark Kent you can't.Oh and you know by now that Clark is so sick of Whitney always being right there whenever he tries to get close to Lana.Definitely in my opinion one of the best scenes of season 1 where Clark stops the bus to save not only the driver, but a homeless man and his dog. ;O)


Lex Luther the international playboy I tell you.Being that I am gay I was always wishing to have the kind of money that guys would be throwing themselves at me..haha.I am not saying though with Lex that it is just about the money.I can see how the women are drawn to him with all his charm and charisma.



One of the top reasons I love Chloe is the same one that seems to always get her in trouble.Here she tries to be a hard hitting journalist and her reward for that would of course be ..losing her job at the Torch.I really did see Lana trying to help her get her position back , but at the same time I can imagine what she was feeling.If you haven't caught on to this yet, she has a major crush on Clark and as much as she tries to hide it.Is completely jealous of Clark's infatuation with Lana.Loved the end where they tell each other that when it comes to Clark they are both just friends with him, even though we all know they both want more.



Could you imagine having all the worries and problems that Clark has.Not only does he worry about helping people, he constantly has to look over his shoulder to make sure someone's not out to ruin his life.Talk about having some leveridge on somebody like Phelan had on Clark.I really had thought that Clark had a good plan with trying to set Phelan up.Only bad thing is that because he is a dirty cop , he knew just how to spin it and frame Jonathan.


Of course Phelan seriously underestimated Clark's strength and smarts.Gotta love the line where Phelan says you maybe strong ,but your not bulletproof.He really don't know Clark very well does he and we get to see some of Lex's true intentions when he asks Phelan what he has on Clark and the end shot with him starring at the video surveillance.

Episode 8 -Jitters


Man do the Luthers ever have some freaky stuff going on down at the plant or what??Poor Earl (oh no that sound's like that Dixie Chick's song..haha) , I mean talk about a bad ability to pick up from the meteor based experiments.Shaking like that all the time and the way he accidentally killed his friend at the beginning by shaking him and breaking his neck.


Oh and how irresponsible of our young Clark to throw a Party while his parents are away celebrating the anniversary. ..Yeah Right..haha.You know you either did the same or at least wanted to do that when you were/are a teenager.lol.Oh and you gotta love the fact that Clark says a small party..haha..there is no such thing in High School.



I loved the line where Martha and Johnathan are in the restaurant and Martha responds to him about if she misses Metropolis.She tells him that he had told her that they would never be rich or travel the world,but he would always love her.Now that is what you should be telling the person you love, IMO.


I loved the above (picture) scene because you can tell by the look on Lex's face that he realizes that his Father lied to him about there being a level 3 to the Luther Plant.Now we get a glimpse of how evil the Luther blood line goes and how far they would go to cover up anything that would make them look bad.I have to admit that as financially challenged as I have always been, the idea of having the kind of money that you could just make things go away..sounds tempting.lol.No I am not turning to the dark side or anything , but I will agree with the philosophy that money is Power.Not to say that it don't come with a price either though, I guess I will probably be like the Kent's ..poor but happy. ;O)

Episode 7 - Craving



Talk about your super powered diet shake with a nasty kick.Although what Jody done in this episode was completely wrong, I still have to say that I really felt sorry for her.All my life I have struggled with weight issues myself as I am sure a lot of other people have.How freaky was it when she kneels in the road and devours that deer?


I swear it seems that almost all the younger people of Smallville are cursed when it comes to love and relationships (besides the obvious fact that most of them are also meteor infected).Clark , Chloe and Pete always seem to get just a glimpse of love and happiness.Than out of blue something messes it up , as poor Pete encountered the night of Lana's Birthday Party.I think they would have made a nice couple (Jody and Pete),if she didn't want to constantly be trying to suck out all his body fat that is.


The last part was cool in my opinion, that Clark would take his Mother's advice on what to get Lana. She had told him to get her something from his heart and Lana had shared that memory of how happy she was when she was little and went to the drive-in with her parents.So Clark goes and turns the Barn with the help of the Kent's truck (movie projector attached)into the Kent Drive-In for Lana.

Episode 6 - Hourglass


Let me start off by asking a question - Would you want to be able to see the future?I could see wanting to do it for the same reasons Clark did .To be able to maybe save people closest to you , but do you think you can really cheat fate and make a new destiny or will fate still get you one way or another regardless.

On the other topic of this episode about turning back the hands of time.What would you do with this new found youth?I mean to me that poses the same ultimate question as the above topic of seeing the future.Do you think you would have learned from your mistakes from when you was younger before or would your fate still be the same.

O.k now away from the deep thoughts and on to the episode itself. I love the actress (Jackie Burroughs) that played Cassandra and always thought she was so convincing in other things I have seen her in.It was very cool to see Clark find a close friendship with her and even Clark saying it at the end of the episode.

Cassandra telling him at the first part that someone close to him would die.Then at the end when he walked in and found out that she had pasted away (after dying of shock at seeing the future with Lex destroying everything he touches).Clark then says that she was able to tell her own future , meaning that Clark had become close to her.


Now on to Harry's (Young: Eric Christian Olsen and Old: George Murdock) revenge on the children of the people who put him away for murder.I thought it was a great storyline to think that someone would make the present generation pay for something their parents and grandparents had done.Again I have to say very believable that someone in real life would do this , if it was possible to go back in time.


I hope everybody enjoys reading my blogs as much as I love posting them.I work like 12-16 hours a day sometimes on my work and Smallville is my favorite escape.I can re-watch the seasons a million times and everytime is as exciting to me as if I was watching them for the first time.
