JOR-EL GIVES LOIS SUPER POWERS; KARA returns — Clark takes Lois to the Fortress to get Jor-El’s (voiced by Terrance Stamp) blessing for their marriage. Jor-El bestows a unique wedding gift on the couple – he gives Lois Clark’s super powers so she can see what it’s like to be him for a day. Unfortunately, the Toyman (guest star Chris Gautheir) has returned to Metropolis, so Lois must go up against the notorious villain instead of Clark. Meanwhile, Oliver searches for the Bow of Orion, which he believes will remove the Omega symbol from his skull, and runs into Kara (guest star Laura Vandervoort), who is also on a mission to stop Darkseid.

It’s the penultimate episode before the last ever episode of Smallville. Don’t miss the final moments that lead up to the series finale! Come back here to discuss it afterwards, and keep an eye out for SHoE 173. And don’t forget to send in your video submissions for the SHoE finale! See below for details!

Rebecca’s “Dominion” Review

May 5th, 2011 by Rebecca | 2 Comments

dominionreviewWhat to say about “Dominion”? It was Justin Hartley’s (Oliver Queen) directorial debut, it was a Smallville spin on movies like 300, and it featured the return of the previously exiled Zod (Callum Blue). The plot for this episode, the nineteenth of the season, was rather simple. The episode wasn’t really about the action, though there was plenty of it, instead it was a testament to how Clark influences and affects those around him.

The episode opens with Clark and Lois unpacking their belongings at their new apartment. They joke about Clark doing it at super speed and Lois’s love of hair bands before Tess, via computer video conferencing, interrupts their domestic bliss with League news.

Rebecca’s “Booster” Review

May 2nd, 2011 by Rebecca | 2 Comments

8de06_Smallville-Booster_240The concept behind “Booster,” the eighteenth episode of Smallville’s final scene (written DC Comics’ star Geoff Johns) wasn’t exactly complicated. A mixture of the old adage “be yourself” and “it’s the man that makes the hero, not the suit he wears” combined for an entertaining, if a slightly heavy handed heroic hour.
