And here we are, the final hours. Very shortly we’ll all know what this season has been building towards. Earth vs. Krypton. Good vs. Evil. Clark vs. Zod. But before we get to the end, we’ve got one more great story to tell you about, and that’s the story of a quiet weekend at Kent Farm with Clark, Lois, Martha…and Perry White!? That’s right Annette O’Toole and Michael McKean return to the ‘Ville and Steve and Derek cover the highlights in the penultimate episode that leaves you ready to see what they have in store for us at the end later today.

Crunch time! Less than 24hrs to go until the ninth season finale of Smallville, ‘Salvation’, and it’s almost sad to be delivering the last few episodes of SHoE of the season. But we’re quickly approaching episode 150, and with that comes the last two episodes of the season before the finale, ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘Hostage’. First up is the fall of Watchtower, the burning of Oliver, and the spiraling of Zod. Join us, won’t you?

As we start this week’s episode, “Sacrifice”, we are reminded of the sacrifice that Chloe has made being a part of a life revolving around superheroes, meteor freaks and corporate espionage. The old man working at the newsstand is used to seeing her because she spends “all night every night” at Watchtower. Watchtower is her life and entrance to it is a constant reminder of what she sacrificed by focusing more on Clark and Oliver’s world than her own. The passcode she uses to get in is the date of Jimmy Olsen’s death. Excuse me, I meant to say Henry Olsen. *wink*

Earlier this season, at the end of “Idol”, my big question was whether Zan lowered Lois down to the ground with his billowy mist or did Clark catch her. Little did I know that the question would be whether or not the ex-DA who had her thrown off the roof of the Daily Planet would be back to try to kill Lois one more time. That’s right, kids. Sacks is back. And this time he wants to take down the Blur, too, by offering a million dollars to whoever catches a photo of the Man of Trenchcoat.
This catches the attention of a new player in the game of Checkmate, Maxwell Lord, who has the power to scan your mind, annoying called a Jedi mind trick by Sacks, who I’m thinking needs a Star Wars rewatch. Maxwell is the black king in this game, and he is frustrated with how little the White Queen has accomplished from behind her desk. I’m thinking he’s being a bit unfair to Ms. Waller. She at least came out of the castle once to slam the side of a van while bellowing at Tess.

In the teaser, we see that Lois has disguised herself as a lab tech, grabbing camera footage for The Blur, or at least who SHE thinks is the Blur. She has snuck into a secret project run by Tess involving a cybertronic self-sustaining heart. When the security guard busts her because she doesn’t look like someone named Hank Wu, as indicated on her badge, the fight causes enough commotion that someone slips away. The fight causes a huge explosion that sends Lois soaring down an elevator shaft. However, she is caught by the man who needed the upgrade: John Corben aka Metallo!

We’re back after a LONG break and the first of a few wham-bam episodes you’ll get in a row from the SHoE crew. First up is ‘Escape’ where Steve walks you through the in’s and out’s, tells you what’s been going on with SHoE, introduces a new weekly segment we’re bringing into the show, and gives us insight to one very awkward conversation.
