Masquerade didn’t quite reach the emotional heights we had in Beacon. But if you are a Chloe fan, this Date Night meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith adventure turns into Chloe Deconstructed. However, we also get some good bits with Clark and Lois that, to me, didn’t work out as well as I would have liked. Read the rest of this entry »

CHLOE AND OLIVER ARE KIDNAPPED – Chloe and Oliver are mistaken for FBI agents investigating Desaad’s (guest star Steve Byers) recent string of murders and the pair are kidnapped by Desaad’s minions. Desaad tries to infect Chloe with the darkness. Meanwhile, Lois tells Clark he needs to be more careful with his identity and suggests a disguise.
Another new episode of Smallville airs tonight, this one written by Bryan Q. Miller! Only 7 new episodes remain after tonight. Check back for the latest episode of SHoE with Damian & Derek!
Why is a hero a hero? That was, under many layers of plotlines, the heart of the thirteenth episode of Smallville’s tenth (and, alas, final) season. In the episode titled “Beacon,” viewers saw the return of Clark’s mother, Martha Kent, and Lex Luthor’s father, Lionel Luthor. The episode probably had one too many plotlines and two too many random, revisionist and slightly pandering scenes (I won’t get it into it here, but let’s just say these two scenes both occurred in the first act after the opening credits). But, all of that aside, the heart of the episode went straight to the heart of our main hero—why is he a hero?
What a wonderful time to be a Smallville fan. After EW’s little “nail in the coffin” article earlier this week claiming that since no news had come out about Rosenbaum returning, it was pretty much time to give up hope, hope came to us – TVLine’s Ausiello announced that Rosenbaum (who simultaneously tweeted this news) will be returning as Lex Luthor for the series finale of Smallville, airing May 13th, 2011. This puts to rest the age old discussion of will he/won’t he that fans have been clamoring over since it was announced that season 10 will be the last for the show. Not only that, but Greg Beeman announced on his blog last night that he will be directing the second half of the two hour finale; something that myself and I know other Smallville fans are glad to hear, as Beeman is one director who has a passion for the series and was a part of it for many years. (Beeman last directed the ninth season finale, ‘Salvation’)
All this news comes off the heels that The CW announced earlier in the week that the series finale will, indeed, be a two hour event on Friday, May 13th; bringing the episode total for the final season to 21 episodes, but 22 hours. No word yet if Allison Mack will definitely be returning for the series finale yet or not. Currently, the last episode she will be appearing in is 10×15 – ‘Fortune’. Also, last season’s Zod (Callum Blue) and Kara (Laura Vandervoort) will be returning for an episode before the end. Expect to see Zod in 10×19 – ‘Dominion’ or 10×20 – ‘Prophecy’. Only 8 episodes remain in the final season of Smallville.
MARTHA KENT COMES HOME — Clark is surprised to see Martha on the news speaking at a pro-vigilante rally. However, surprise quickly turns to horror when he and Lois watch as Martha gets shot on national television. Meanwhile, Lionel reveals himself to the world and reclaims LuthorCorp from Tess and Oliver. Lois and Chloe decide to cheer Clark up by showing him videos from thousands of vigilante supporters professing their support for The Blur. Videos were created and submitted by actual Smallville fans.
It looks like everyone is going to be close to their TVs tonight! After it’s over with, come back here to discuss while you wait for the release of the next new episode of SHoE!
I apologize for the delay, but “Collateral” was a tough episode for me to sit down and review. I must say that I had to not think about it for a couple days and then rewatch it again. My initial reaction was one of total disappointment and irritation that as we’re wrapping up the series, the writers still feel the need to blatantly reference other creative works rather than be original. But on my rewatch, I felt a little less urgent because of the impending “Finale”, and more appreciative of what we got. It still doesn’t excuse how little information we got about Chloe’s disappearance though. Read the rest of this entry »
