5.20 - Fade (Spoilers)

[MJZ]

Really liked this one.

These next two will be something else I think...

 

[avidreader]

Okay, I know you've all been saying (hello TonyT) that Lana has reason to be attracted to Lex and its been building for months, but honestly how can the girl be so blind.

I really now want her to suffer for putting too much trust in Lex. I just watched Transference before this episode, so I'm doubly peeved with Lana at the moment.

And why can she never let Clark finish a sentence.

Now that I've had my little rant, I'll just echo what Kiki said.

Loved Clark walking in on Lois naked. Now he's got her back.

 

[tonytr1687]

pay attention!

jesus, he was making an Aquaman joke...


Aquaman = Arthur Curry

Whoa! Cant believe I didnt pick that up. Talk about a blonde moment.

 

[tonytr1687]

Where is everyone?

Well, I thought they did a great job with the continuity on this one. Clark actually remembered conversations that he had in previous episodes.

Okay, they gave us a nice little superman leap, but you can definitely tell they are saving up the special effects budget for something big. I'm okay with that I'll take a more philosophical episode for now.

I loved, loved, loved all the foreshadowing to Clark and Lois's relationship. Poor thing can't find a nice guy even when he's staring at you butt naked holding a toilet brush.

You know Jonothan may be gone, but his spirit lives on in Martha. She's suddenly become Dear Abby. That's okay too, I kind of like mama Kent passing out advice and cookies along with legislature.

Okay so the FOTW was once again a side note. He was there only to push the story along, but what a great lesson Clark learned. Sometimes you've gotta save the bad guy because it's not your right to pick and choose who lives or dies. This episode was all about character building in my opinion. I think Superman is supposed to stand for so much more than just super human powers.

Oooooo and Lex is such a liar. Here he is telling Lana how he can't find any info on Milton and he's on IM basis with the guy. Poor Lana, personally I hope she is playing him otherwise she just needs to get over her self righteous self. I can see why she thinks he's trustworthy because you have to admit he's a very smooth talker and he always seems to be saving her life. Too bad she's not allowed to see Clark actually doing the saving.

As for Chloe and Clark's relationship yep she looked uncomfortable during the whole I couldn't breathe spiel, but she never really had a relationship with him to feel rejected about. I love how they are using her to spark his journalistic interest. More forward motion there people you've got to love that.

I can't think of anything else right now, but I do have to say I always love Clark in a suit and how cute was he.. blushing when that lady of the night kissed him......

Actually Lex wasnt lying to Lana this time. He's playing Fine by trying to investigate him behind his back while also working with him, but of course it doesnt work because "Fine the government agent" doesnt exist. BTW since when is Lex working with Fine on the virus plot? Is this supposed to be the weapon he is developing against alien invaders?

Lex was talking to Fine by IM, and he told Lana he couldnt find any trace of him.

Lex and Fine agreed to work on the Virus after Honduras.

How can she be blind? Because all of her friends, including Clark, dont tell her ANYTHING about what Lex has done. All Clark says is "you can't trust him" instead of going into detail about it and giving her a real reason to doubt Lex's intentions. And you have to remember she WAS skeptical of him at the beginning of the season. So it's not like she's been all-trusting all the time. It's just that certain circumstances as well as Lex's smooth talking have made her go the other way.

What episode had Lex and Fine talking about the virus? I dont remember that conversation in Hypnotic. And he told Lana that the government ppl he talked to couldnt find any trace of Fine. Or did he say something else that I missed? People around me kept talking so I could have missed something.

She never gave Clark a chance. He went to say something and she cut him off.

I still dont understand how she can be giving Clark all the time in the world and love him so much and then a couple of weeks later be head over heels in love with Lex.

The girl has issues.

They did speak about it in Hypnotic and then he had the government book from Fine in Fragile. There's also been the blogs.

Lex did tell Lana that the Government couldnt find any trace of Fine but he's talking to Fine by IM at the same time.

Never mind I just read Avid's post and I think I'm right on this one. I'll go back and watch it though just in case I missed something.

The reason he told her the govnt "could find any trace of him" was b/c he went to Washington to see if Fine was legit. That meant asking around...and the ppl told him he didnt exist. He didnt say HE couldnt find him, he said the government ppl couldnt.

But wow I remember Lex and Fine talking about alien invaders and a weapon they have to develop, but I guess I forgot about the virus part.

Well to be fair she isnt IN LOVE with him. She's just infatuated. And yeah of course she has issues. Doesnt everybody on this show.

Oh I totally agree.

I get that she's pissed. I mean he did break up with her in about the most heartless way possible, but it's like someone mentioned before, she doesn't really like being alone does she?
Look at Lois. She has absolutely no luck with men and she's pretty much resigned to that fact. I love it that she has no luck with men.

Clark can't usually tell her because there's no way he could prove his allegations without revealing his "secret". As for everyone else, do they really know what Lex has done? The only people who might know something are in the same boat as Clark.

Well there's Chloe. But what about the incident in Cyborg? That wouldnt endanger Clark's secret would it?

 

[GothicPowerMix1]

& theres also Aquadude. But I think that certain Episode will be taken out of Smallville History Unless of coursethey have Aquaman in the new Aquaman Show mention how he has met one other Guy with Special Abilities or something.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Is there a site I could get a summary of tonight's episode? I only saw 1/2 of it; up to the point where Lex was in his hospital bed.

 

[The Watchman]

So I'm not up to date with spoilers on the show, I just watch it...but has it been confirmed that Zod is played by

Spoiler

Terrance Stamp

...because I'll be damnned in the preview for next episode the guy in the plastic sack phantom zone sure as hell looked like him in constant freeze framing by me.

 

[LostSon88]

I missed the epi tonight...anything good?

 

[The Watchman]

like always, a few good Superman moments with shoddy plotting.

 

[tonytr1687]

If you're one who accepts the fact that the FOTWs are there to move the subplots and character arcs forward, then yeah it was good. But if not, then u prob wudnt think it was the greatest. I thought it was above average. Good Lexana moments and even a little "good Lex" peeking through in the hospital thnx to Lana.

No. At least, not that I've heard. I believe that Gough said in an interview that Stamp was his preference for the role...something like that anyway.

I tried slo-mo, freeze-framing too.. I thought it looked like it might be a girl. LOL.. I thought I saw boobs.

You like-ah da sauce, eh...?


Nothing has been confirmed...




...but for T.S., I'd place my bets more on Mr. J (no, not that one), than Mr. Z...in fact I think he's kind of auditioned already...

 

[Scooter]

I ain't gonna be able to see this one. Any good?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Surely we would have known by now if Stamp was in the season finale. Maybe next year but I dunno bout this season.
