I was at a website recently at the IMDB website and saw a list of the best fan voted episodes through all six seasons. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279600/eprate Naturally, some of the more recent seasons were at the top of the list because they are fresh in everyone's memory but I was shocked at some of the episodes that were left off the top 10, even top 25 list.
Of course, the season openers and finales are always at the top of the list. The episode Rosetta with Chris Reeve passing the torch to Tom Welling is a natural as well as anything that introduces a classic Superman power or DC myth.
What would you consider to be a classic episode in Smallville that maybe isn't recognized as such?
I have to go all the way back to season one and pick "Hourglass."
I have to say it was a different impact back then when I saw it before Smallville really got liberal with the Superman background and mucked some things up, but at the time that was freaking cool giving us the only peek at Superman and Lex's future. The scene with Clark Kent in a grave with everyone in his life dead on tombstones surrounding him because nothing could kill him, or the scene with Lex as the President in an innocent field of daises and blood suddenly rains on him which shocks the poor old lady telling his future so much, that she drops dead right there, was simply classic!! And to top it off, we get a senior citizen freak of the week instead of a the usual high school student. Great episode indeed, but I guess fans of the show don't consider it as much since it was almost #100 on the list.
