Smallville 9:7
Posted by dorolerium on Friday, November 20th, 2009
The most amusing thing about this episode was that my dog loved the sound effects when Chloe was doing her computery stuff.
So suddenly it’s a huge priority in Clark’s world to find the Kryptonians/Kandorians. Since I know nothing about the Superman mythology, I don’t even know why there’s a need to specify these people are Kandorians. And no, I’m not going to look it up.
At one point in this episode, Chloe tells Clark that Zod has shown up again, and I wonder…why on earth did she need to tell him this? I mean, Zod arrived in Smallville itself, right outside the Luthor mansion. Did they not look for symbols in their hometown? And why doesn’t anyone in the town care about these crop circles now? They made a huge deal about this kind of thing a few seasons ago!
Jor El half inexplicably shows up at the Kent farm, conveniently missing Clark who is out looking for him, and finding Chloe instead. She is lucky enough to tell Jor El about what happened to Krypton and why he has a son on Earth. It’s boring, and the explanation behind why he doesn’t know is likewise boring. I’d personally rather see more about how Zod becomes the destroyer of Krypton.
I do love something that Oliver says, though:
So when you say Jor El, we talking about the dude in your ice crystal palace thingie?
That’s totally how I describe stuff! Clark thinks ice crystal palace thingie Jor El knows about real Jor El, but I have no idea why he thinks this. Doesn’t Clark figure Jor El would tell him if he knew that, I dunno, ZOD was back?!
We also learn that Jor El is a Vulcan. Or that’s my explanation for the neck grip thingie he does to put Chloe to sleep.
Jor El is supposed to be wicked smart, but he makes the mistake of telling Zod that he knows what happened to Krypton. I, who am not an alien science genius, know that’s a bad idea. Obvs it’s going to lead Zod to realize that someone other than Jor El is there!
Also, Tess throws like a girl.
