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!

Somewhere off the shores of Metropolis, there sits an enchanted castle, which looks classic on the outside, but built like a 1960’s Batman set on the inside. This is the lair of Amanda Waller and Checkmate. She looks at the chessboard and decides to take out the knight. Another chessboard appears in Tess’s office, and again, the knight is down. This throws Tess into action, as we see in her office that there are not only various weapons scattered about, but she actually has an escape hatch.
Tess is disguised in a La Femme Nikita wig as she pensively walks the streets. First, she is followed by the FDA lady from Hell and then Joe Chill steps out of the shadows. A fight ensues, which looks like it was lifted straight from a Guy Ritchie movie. Watch as Joe Chill’s flabby face gets ruptured by La Tess Nikita’s fist. The fight attracts the attention of Green Arrow, but IT’S A TRAP!

Long overdue but not forgotten, I have another SF for you. The Silver Banshee was shown on Episode 9×16 “Escape”. Judging from the fan reactions that I have have seen this episode will not go down as one of the most memorable episodes in Smallville’s history, but I will say that the Silver Banshee was done well for live television. A mystical being from the underworld who bears a curse devoted to the killing of men isn’t always easy to pull off. But lets steer clear of the merits and/or gripes with the episode itself and lets look at the history of the Silver Banshee.

With what seems to be the final season of Smallville around the corner and the different tone the show has taken on in the past two seasons, is it time for a new theme? I am a very nostalgic guy and I don’t know if I want the theme changed. However, getting a majestic theme for this series’ final season could be very exciting.
What say you, loyal SHoE-ligans?
