5.20 - Fade (Spoilers)

[smsvmos]

Z.O.D Is Coming!!!!!!!!!!! YEA BABY

 

[roach]

where is he coming from????
dude has been coming since last season

 

[Morg]

Ok I'm confused, why the heck Clark couldn't use his x-ray vision to see a invisible man? Did like that part with Lois in the yellow shirt *whoooo!*

 

[Kane]

Overall a good episode, nothing spectacular but it moved the story forward.

Pros:

- Lex/Lana is officially a real deal. To Serene and Avidreader, its obvious now that Lana isnt being duplicitous and her feelings for Lex are genuine.

- Naked psycho Lois about to attack Clark with a weapon; finally a scene intended to be funny that was actually...funny.

- G. Garrett was one of the cooler Fotws...hopefully he will be the last though. Him burying Clark was cool.

Cons

- Another so-called final Clana loft scene....the horror. Lana saying 'Its over'...yet again.

- Super Chloe to the rescue yet again, removing the green rock as she always does and throwing it away just in the nick of time....wooo

- Lois complaining she always gets set up with corrupt individuals. Did she forget Aquadude already?.....or was he retconned somehow

- Did Clark totally forget Chloe walking in on him and Lana kissing? He was acting like Chloe couldnt understand what he went through with Lana and Lex. I was expecting Chloe to bring that incident up...but guess not.


I'd give this 3 out of 5, nothing mind-blowing in this one but it moved things slightly forward; at least in the realm of Lexana.

Kane, you forgot Lex IM'ing Fine about the Virus

 

[Kane]

I thought theyve been instant messenger buddies for a while now?

 

[amazingfantasy15]

oh, I didn't notice it until tonight

 

[Supershizzle]

Zod Is Coming

ewwww

 

[Kane]

Hmm I duno, I thought there was this whole AOL thing before. Eh no biggie. I think it all plays into next weeks episode anyways.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Well, Lex had people tracking Fine, that's where the AOL thing first came into play.

Well, he was a criminal

 

[Kane]

Lois viewed him as an honorable person though. The only crime he was guilty of was bad acting.

 

[tonytr1687]

Pretty good episode. And why are ppl so dumbfounded as to why Lana is so trusting of Lex? We've seen episode after episode that she's begun to trust him more, despite the events in Commencement. People here act like she doesn't recognize Lex's dark side at all, which isn't true. At the beginning of the season she didn't trust him at all and kept accusing him of stuff, but since Splinter she's gradually beem swayed the other way through Lex's measures as well as the fact that everyone has kept her completely in the dark about most of his bad doings. So I think it makes sense. As to why she fell for him, methinks she's had secret feelings for him for a while now. But ppl have short memories so they probably don't remember past episodes in the series that hinted at it.

Heh.

It was a rip on Hayden Christensen.

 

[muscaremy]

[tonytr1687]

As usual those Kryptonsite losers are ripping into this episode. Do they even like Smallville over there?

 

[Strange]

They had several close up shots of Clark that look almost like he needed to shave. They should have him shaving or trying to figure out how in some episode.

Apparently not, I ventured over there for the first time ever today when someone asked me to look at something and I was horrified to see the level of sheer stupidity that was running rampant there. It makes these forums look like a MENSA gathering. It's like an entire site of disgruntled Joss Whedon fans and teenage girls who wouldnt know Superman from a hole in the wall. No wonder that place has the rep it does in some circles.

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......

I may not love the K-Site forums, but to be fair, there is a wide range of posters there, from the fairly intelligent, to the knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathers (and really, that's the same in just about *every* large forum).

It's just so damn populated, way more than I like to deal with. I can barely deal with the drive-by posters we get in here.

I only check the forums out on occasion, but I do love K-Site as a source of information.

Tonight's ep - I thought it had some really nice moments. It left me a bit shell-shocked, and melancholy though.

Clark looked amazing in that jacket during the party scene. I think that sums up my review.

pay attention!

jesus, he was making an Aquaman joke...


Aquaman = Arthur Curry
