The WB's Official Description
CLARK IS SHOT! - Chloe is warned by Gabriel that he is going to set off a missile and obliterate all of Smallville. Still stripped of his super powers, Clark confronts Gabriel and ends up getting shot. In the hospital, Clark flatlines and his fate is left in Jor-El's hands.

Do we have to make a new list after each episode? Can't we just say the latest title, and where we would put it on our original list?

to each his own i guess

for me, it helps me see how ppl rank the episode in the context of all their other episode rankings.

 

[triplet]

Although I haven't finished my review yet, working nights is totally kicking my ass, I ranked Cyborg just behind Hidden for this season... (also changed some of my list around, Pat...)

I just figured that since the other episodes had already been tallied, that it would be kind of pointless to list them again.

 

[rumpuso]

You ranked Cyborg above Splinter, Triplet?

You ranked Cyborg above Splinter, Triplet?

Yeah... I did.

 

[vyperman7]

Arrival - 10/10 ( My second favorite episode of the whole show. Loved it)
Vengeance - 10/10 (One of the best episodes they have ever done. Only second to Arrival this season. Totally made up for the mess that was Reckoning)
Hidden - 9.5/10 (Lion-El/Clark in the FOS, missile save, and a lot of suspense)
Splinter - 9.5/10 (TW's acting with the paranoia was awesome, and I just the whole episode was well done)
Lexmas - 9/10 (A fantastic Lex episode. One of my favorite Lex centric after Shattred, Memoria, and Prodigal)
Solitude - 9/10 (Great episode, but I was really dissapointed with the fight between Brainiac and Clark. Way too short)
Mortal - 9/10 (Great Chlark moments, Clex fight, and I liked the development for Clark)
Exposed - 9/10 (Great Clois, awesome effects on the hellicopter grab, and the Duke reunion)
Lockdown - 8.5/10 (Awesome effects on the Lana save and good continuity with the events in Arrival)
Cyborg - 8/10 (Amazing ending, Thompson was awesome as Victor, and loved evil Lex. Too much Clana though, and not enough action)
Fanatic - 8/10 (Pretty good suspense, and nice effects on the save with JK at the rally)
Thirst - 8/10 (Chloe/DP, awesome Lex/Fine interaction, and much better than I thought it would be overall)
Aqua - 7/10 (Very dissapointing. Should have been a lot better)
Tomb - 5/10 (I gave it a 5 because of AM's acting and the continuity that the ending had with S4. But the episode sucked and was pretty pointless overall)
Reckoning - 3/10 (One of my least favorite eps ever. The most dissapointed I have ever been after an episode)

 

[AgentPat]

Looks like I have some number crunching to do. I'll wait till a few more folks update their lists and do a new tally. This should be interesting. I think I might alter the order of my list just a wee bit too.

 

[LL2K2]

Let's see...

Excellent Episodes (5/5): Arrival, Hidden, Solitude, Cyborg

Above Average (4/5): Mortal, Exposed, Splinter, Lexmas

Good Episodes (3/5): Aqua, Fanatic, Lockdown, Reckoning, Tomb

Fair Episodes (2/5): Thirst, Vengeance

Yuck! (1/5): (none yet)

 

[user123456789]

I noticed some of you have Exposed high on your lists. Can some of ya'll elaborate as to why?

Personally, I didn't enjoy Exposed as much as I had hoped (and no, not because of the Lois stripping scene, lol). I'll definately have to re-watch it after I hear from some of you.

I didnt like Exposed either. I didnt hate it.

Exposed and Aqua are the two that I have watched the least.

I haven't watched Exposed much either, I mean theres certainly nothing glaringly wrong with it, its just not a stand out. But I liked it better than Aqua and Tomb--Tomb was the first one I actually deleted off my tivo right after it aired.
I see lots don't like Thirst, but I loved that ep, so funny, it was a nice break

Thirst was one of my favourites too, Melly.

As the seasons go on, it will be one that I can watch for entertainment purposes alone.

Yep, it was a nice fun ep, kind of like Devoted was in Season 4, which I enjoyed as well.

 

[SuperDaniel]

THe episode with Chloe and the dead girl was the worst i`ve seen of Smallville. Nothing to do with Superman. The writers simple forgot the basis of this show. God, how can the producers of this show greenlight episodes like this???
