10.8 - Abandoned - Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Holy!!!!

"Farewell, my son."

I like that they tweaked his voice so he sounded like Stamp alittle more than normally.

Do you think that Jor-El has rightfully handed over the Fortress to Clark, because he has deserved it, and that is why he might be gone forever?

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Wow. Awesome scene by Sands and Slater there. They knocked that out of the park

 

[The Batman]

....ok, i gotta ask...whats the point of terrance stamp being Jor El's voice? I thought Stamp would end up being Jor El at the time of krypton's explosion, while sands was a younger version.

 

[The Caped Knight]

The wedding ring !!!

 

[The Caped Knight]

HOLY TESS IS LEX's sister LENA LUTHOR,

 

[SpideyVille]

Tess is a LUTHOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I wasn't suspecting it for over 2 years.

 

[darkzombiemutt]

Fantastic episode. Just wow.

 

[Webhead2006]

dam she is a lutho shoot. cool promo for next week.

 

[antsman41]

Who was the mother, Lex's?

Smallville is definitely having the best "last" season ever...

 

[Kevin]

Lutessa?

Pamela Jenkins is Tess' mother. Who is that?

 

[Donut]

Tess being his sister is better then her being a clone. I can dig it

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Lutessa Lena Luthor

This episode was full of win...

 

[O'Haire]

Guessing Clark will propose in the last scene in the episode before Christmas break.

 

[John Locke]

Lutessa?

Pamela Jenkins is Tess' mother. Who is that?

She was Lex's nanny. She was in an episode in Season 1.

EDIT: sorry, that was Rachel Dunleavy

 

[Kevin]

She was Lex's nanny. She was in an episode in Season 1.

Thanks! Red hair and all.

 

[The Caped Knight]

DAMN this episode delivered on a momentous level

 

[SpideyVille]

Guessing Clark will propose in the last scene in the episode before Christmas break.

Yup, I don't think we need to see anymore spoilers from that E Online article anymore.

The question is though, why wait another 3 episodes? You'd think Clark would do it earlier, unless he just gets super busy trying to save the world.

I have no doubt he will be thinking about the proposal next week since Aquaman returns with his wife.

 

[Donut]

I have no doubt he will be thinking about the proposal next week since Aquaman returns with his wife.

The end of the episode will be Clark asking Aquaman for tips on how to propose & then he says since he was never invited to Aquaman's wedding he can't come to his

They really pulled one straight out from left field with the Lutessa Lena Luthor thing, but honestly, I love it.

But only because her mother was someone we've seen Lionel have a history with, but no real closing on what happened. So technically, Tess is Lex's half-sister, and would be the heir in the event of their deaths. Though I wonder, did Lex know she was his half-sister? Hmmm....

Well tonight was the eigth episode of season title. Which was entitled "Abandoned". Written By: Drew Landis & Julia Swift directed by Kevin Fair. It featured julian sands/helen slater as jorel and lara, granny goodness/desaad/godfrey and the female furies. It was a very interesting episode tonight.

Drew and julia wrote a great script tonight. It was well written, good drama and action all around. They wrote lois/clark/tess great tonight. They all had alot to work with. Kevin tonight did another great work directing. I have enjoyed his work through the yrs. The lighting, direction of cast, and blocking and movement was all good. I thought he pulled out another good one tonight.

The plot tess learning her whole life was a fake was an interesting play. To lead her back to granny. While this is going on lois is tempted to watch her mom's videos to her. And clark has his problems with jorel at the fos.

I liked how they played up the granny goodness story. I think it was great to finally getting darkseid storyline finally moving. It hasnt had much action yet this season. Which i hope will change now. Also the female furies were pretty dam cool tonight. They had some good fight scenes with clark and tess. Hope we get to see more of them later.

The teri hatcher cameo scene was done well. They were so right it was a heart warming and touching scene. It was very sad. I totally felt like i was about to cry during it. Teri did great tonight. Its great they finally got her to appear on the show. Even for how small of a scene it was.

Also loved how lois went to the fos to help get jorel and clark make peace. The jorel/lara scene was great, I loved we finally got to see a hologram of them both. Sands and slater did great tonight. IT was a good scene for them. Also love that things are good between them now. Plus its great lois and clark are there for engangment stuff/marriage. Lois finding a thing from her mom. And clark already buying a ring for lois. That was sweet.

The end was pretty cool too with tess remembering her getting dumped at granny. And who her real parents are. I am a bit pissed she is a luthor. I was hoping that rumor wouldnt pan out. also it looks like her mom was pamela, if i remember right wasnt that the lady from season two who thought clark was her kid? if so a great play back to past relationship of lionel.

Acting was great all around tonight. Tom was great with the lois love scenes, dealing with jorel, and caring and helpful to tess. Tom played it all well tonight. Also it seems like he wasnt in the episode to much. But he usually is in an episode less when he is directing the next episode. So i can forgive it cause of that. Plus the episode was more for granny and tess.

Erica was great as lois. She has been doing great this season. I love how she is developing this yr. Erica has been playing lois very good. Cant wait to see where things go with her for the rest of the season.

Cassidy was great tonight. Finally got to have a big part of an episode. Glad to see her get more action tonight. She had a great fight scene with furies and her scenes with granny was pretty good. Cassidy has great range in emotion and plays it well. Also curious to see where things go now that she knows lionel was her dad.

The actress playing granny tonight was great. A very solid pick and i think she played granny well. She was strong, bold, and very creepy. All great marks for the role. I loved that we finally got some insights on her and darkseid minions. I really hope we get alot more of them now.

All and all a very great episode tonight. Enjoyed it from start to finished. I hope we got good ratings tonight. It was another top notch episode for the show. Also promo for next week was great. Cant wait to see slade, aquaman and mera. Looks to be a good one.

I always got the impression Tess had a major female hard on for Lex prior to him bugging her in season 8...

 

[Young Superman]

This episode was great. The Jor-El/Lara and Ella Lane scenes were awesome.
