Smallville – S09E09 – Pandora


Tonight’s episode – Pandora

I think that Lois’ visions of the future might be my least favorite thing about this season, but I am willing to have my mind changed tonight.


As always, I look forward to your thoughts, opinions, gripes, live-blogging, etc.

    I’m not sure it is really accurate to call them "visions", as they are really memories from her unintended trip to the future. I find them the most intriguing aspect of the season… on some level, they’ve helped sustain my interest this season as Callum Blue’s portrayal of Zod has thus far been utterly banal.

    I’m still a little upset about Gleek being the GD phone.  You’re pushing me to the edge, Smallville

  3. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Kidnapped again… I wonder when Lois has time to do any actual reporting?

  4. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    Wait. Tess Mercer is bitching about how nerdy guy doesn’t have boundaries? Didn’t they just kidnap a woman to steal her memories?

  5. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    At the end of the day, it’s always the Legion of Super Heroes’ fault.

  6. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    This is like that episode of SEINFELD with the Kenny Rogers Roasters sign, but on a global scale.

  7. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    I want one of those Legion rings soooooooooo bad!

    #christmasisjustaroundthecorner! 

  8. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I had a lot of audio drops on SMALLVILLE last week. Looks like it continues this week.

  9. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    SUPERMAN #75 homage. Like it.

  10. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    They couldn’t have come up with a new name beyond The Blur? 

  11. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    Don’t worry. When Geoff Johns gets around to writing a super duper badass Legion story, one of the tie-in comics will have plastic legion flight rings.

  12. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Paul: Yeah, it’s getting a bit ridculous at this point. But at least The Blur is better than The Red/Blue Blur.

  13. pushover125 pushover125 says:

    Same here with the audio.  And it’s only Smallville, never Gossip Girl or 90210.  I mean, I assume it wouldn’t.  

  14. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    I don’t want a PLASTIC one!   

  15. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @pushover125: Yeah, it doesnt happen to 90210 or MELROSE PL– what? Who said that?

  16. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    @Paul … i kind of want a plastic one.

  17. pushover125 pushover125 says:

    Tess is The One…

  18. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Between Zod and the V, there is really no reason to trust aliens who come baring gifts.

  19. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Tess is a really dull villain. Especially in comparison to Lex. 

  20. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    Man they really are using that Kent farm all over the place this year.

  21. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Damn. That’s fucked up.

  22. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Now that he has no powers, Clark is free to stop shaving.

  23. pushover125 pushover125 says:

    @conor: I just assumed that was one of his powers.  You know, elseworlds and what not.

     

  24. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    It just goes to show that the Justice League is no match for the combined might of a Kryptonian army. I guess General Lane was right…

  25. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    If they need to keep costs down to bring this show back for a 10th season, they could easily cut Allison Mack’s salary.

    Just a thought.

  26. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Man, everyone’s rods and cones must be messed up in the future.

  27. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    How much do you think it costs to make quasi-Nazi banners? I mean they sure do have a lot of them.

  28. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I am constantly impressed with what this show can do with about five sets.

  29. DaveCarr DaveCarr says:

    All Hail the Mighty Mighty Dutch Angle.

  30. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    It’s like Happy Days. 

  31. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Mercy is a collaborator.

  32. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Wow! Some of that was brutal!

  33. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    AND AWESOME. See? That’s why you can’t cut Chloe’s salary.

  34. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Chloe: "Actually, I shot her. It was me."  

  35. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Haha.

  36. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    At least we know they have soap and toothpaste in this bleak future. Also, when and why did Clark shave?

  37. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    "Did you…make out with Zod?"

  38. DaveCarr DaveCarr says:

    The Bang Before the Battle.

  39. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Well, I guess it takes worldwide domination by Kryptonians for Clark and Lois to get it on…

  40. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    The swarm of Kandorians was pretty awesome.

  41. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    They should’ve played "Mr. Blue Sky." Montage of Zod crashing through walls. 

  42. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    This week on SMALLVILLE: EVERYONE DIES!

  43. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Hey, how long’s Felix been in Metropolis. (Missed a few episodes)

  44. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Paul: It’s been a while. I think he’s been around since last season.

  45. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Missed *many* episodes. 

  46. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    That’s okay, THE CW — I didn’t need to hear that Clark/Lois conversation.

  47. pushover125 pushover125 says:

    Whoa cowboy, thats another show

  48. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    Isn’t Professor Hamilton a bad guy now? Like in the comics? I don’t read enough Superman.

  49. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    Oh well that’s intriguing.

  50. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit

  51. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    JSA PAINTING!

  52. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    There were a lot more JSAers in there than just Dr. Fate, Hawkman, and Stargirl.

  53. DaveCarr DaveCarr says:

    In the words of Checy Chase: THIS IS CRAZY!

  54. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    CUT TO:

    INT. AUCTION HOUSE. NIGHT

    OLD MEN are gathered in the ruins of a post apocalyptic auction house. They are wearing VISORS. They hold ping pong paddles with strange symbols on them. 

    An ALIEN with blue skin and three elbows on each arm steps out of the shadows. Two of his countrymen carry a large painting with a sheet over it. They remove the sheet, revealing a totally badass JSA oil painting from the Smallville preview that was just on TV.  

    AUCTIONEER ALIEN 

    First item up for bid. This totally badass JSA oil painting from the Smallville preview that on TV 60 of your earth years ago.

    OLD PAUL MONTGOMERY

    8 million credits! 

  55. redhood22 redhood22 says:

    did i see sandman in that preview

     

  56. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @redhood22: Yes, you did.

  57. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:
  58. Crippler Crippler says:

    Well, the episode was pretty good again.  I’m just happy to have a strong central plot and a story that’s moving forward.  This show was stuck in neutral for a looong time. 

    I still think we should have a Chloe deathpool.  I say 2nd to last episode, killed by Lex in a brief return by Michael Rosenbaum.

  59. redlibertyx redlibertyx says:

    I saw a green lantern. An Alan Scott Green Lantern.

  60. redhood22 redhood22 says:

    do you guy think they decied to add more jsa members since they turned it into a movie. i,m still hoping for wildcat and that they do a good wesly dodds.

  61. Jediaxle Jediaxle says:

    That was another good episode of Smallville and that trailer has me pumped.  Too bad we have to wait until end of January.  Wonder who will be playing Green Lantern?

  62. Superyan Superyan says:

    CW… WB… RELEASE THE SMALLVILLE ABSOLUTE JUSTICE movie in theaters for a weekend!

  63. shaunbat shaunbat says:

    I’m sorry but the season is just awesome! The last two episodes have more like watching a movie than a TV show, I’m almost shocked at how good this season is. I enjoyed this episode way more than any of the X-Meh films.

    I cant tell you how excited I am for the JSA episodes……SANDMAN!!!…This is just awesome!

    A JSA TV show after Smallville ends would be SO good.

  64. captamerica101 captamerica101 (@Autobot_Hunter) says:

    that " green arrow alone against the kryptonians " moment was awesome.

    I never want to hear that someone used a virus every again.
