[AgentPat]

Well this show is based more off the precrisis, so maybe Clarks powers are that ridiculously powerful

I love it!!

YEAH BRAINIAC IS BACK & Better Than ever. Awesome news.

 

[Spaceballs]

WOW he comes back & asks Lex for help ? He probably bargains with Lex with telling him he will tell him Clarks Secret if Lex helps him or something

When I heard the title for this episode I had a feeling that Brainiac would be back.

Rumour has it that James Marsters will be playing Zod. Brainaic was created in Zod's Image.That's the Rumour anyway.

Spaceballs, read that synop again. Brainiac manipulates Lex and tricks him. There's no "asking" involved here. It will probably be similar to what he did to Clark, except he'll use a different approach with Lex. And while Lex maybe smart, he aint Kryptonian. The only advantage Lex will have - if you can call it that - is that Lex isn't as naive as Clark. But he's also obsessed, so that will play to Fine's advantage.

This whole season has been off the hook!!! Totally amazing.

Meh. I think Marsters has been doing an AWESOME job, and as great as he would be as Zod, I'd prefer a different actor play that character. Keep bringing Brainiac back - that's totally fine (pun intended), but lets have somebody else as Zod. Please?

Awesome!

This sounds like a terrific way to bring back Fine... Can't wait to see Marsters again.

I want to see Fine do this to Lex

You know once Lex finds out Fine USED him they get into a rumble & BAM

Although Fine has a good chance of Clark doing something similiar to him

Whoa, some just came to my mind is it possible Lex is going to get to go the Fortress Of Solitude . And if so, How is he going to Free Zod ? If I remember from "Solitude" Brainiac couldn't free Zod on his own. Only Clark/ Kal-EL could by placing the "Dark purple crystal" into the control Panel that would "Destroy The F.O.S. " & "Free Zod" .

I bet Fine has a Plan B

 

[The Caped Knight]

We finally have a Solid Story Arc for (Season 5)
( Brainiac's Mission to Free General Zod.)

NOW THE REAL FUN BEGINS.

With the Return Of Brainiac Official now, It only a matter of time before Two evil Kryptonians Nam-Ek & Aethyr from "Arrival" Return

as Al Gough had promised .

We can expect an encore performance from those Kryptonian thugs who Clark sent into an extradimensional prison (one that seemed a lot like the Phantom Zone of Superman II). "I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say that you haven't seen the last of them and Brainiac is a key to that," [reveals Al Gough ]source TV GUIDE ONLINE.

I'm looking forward to Hypnotic much more than Reckoning right now. With the news of James Marsters returning to smallville as "Brainiac" & The promise of a Story Arc (Brainiac, Lex & Zod.) My "Hype" meter is up To The MAX .

 

[boydston_14]

I bet Fine has a Plan B

"While flying by the seat of your pants, nothing sounds more official than a Plan B."

What kind of plan B could he have?

 

[GarudA]

I wonder if Brainiac will tell Lex about Clark.

 

[user123456789]

I wonder if Brainiac will tell Lex about Clark.

IMO braniac is too smart for that. His knowledge of Clarks secret is too great to tell to a mere human. Braniac is always looking at the bigger picture, and him taking advantage of the fact that he knows but lex doesn't will be his wild card.

New spoilers..

Ask Ausiello 2/8:

Question: Now, can I please have some scoop on Alias? Or Lost. Or Smallville? Please?

Ausiello: Here's some Smallville dirt: Episode 16 is sure to be slapped with a Beef Wellington warning when a mysterious woman shows up wearing a hypnotic crystal and turns Clark into her sex slave. Naturally, Lana walks in on them just as they're about to bump humps. She'll eventually forgive him — he was in a trance, after all — but it's still the end of the road for Supercouple. After seeing how much pain hiding his true identity always seems to cause her, Clark decides that the time has come to break things off. Guess whose shoulder she cries on? If you picked Lex, you're right!

Is that woman you Pat? LOL

 

[Kane]

That sounds awful!

[rumpuso]

Well now...this is unexpected. A little bit of Unsafe revisited?? So we have Brainiac returning and Clark having *almost* sex.

Okay. I'm good.

Sounds more like a combination of Desiree and Alicia.
So.. does this mean that Clark and Lana are back together again prior to this? It sounds like it. And they break up again?

*sigh*.. Honestly, the things I put up with just to see Clark have "near-sex." It comes down to priorities, I guess.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I'm sure Ausiello is embelishing the "sex slave" thing just a bit....
