In the comics, Superman is susceptable to the supernatural. Although, yes the kryptonite was there, Lana should have been able to bite thru his skin anyway. However, I would have liked to have seen that as it seems that the vampirism was, to some degree, man-made.

wow that episode was horrible

few cool parrts tho..
like when chloe was talkin to clark on the phone and says he needs to see this and he's there already

and the part about him liking the cape haha

theedge

Was actually a good episode...it was fun...a nice Halloween episode if you will. Still better than a lot of the trash out there, and anything else IMHO in that time slot.

Liked it all, progressing the Lex is the badguy storyline in every episode....

Wasn't a fan of this ep, but I did like the line about liking the cape, but not the mask, but I thought the line of the night had to be,
"Clark, there's no such thing as vampires."

kiddk1

by far the worst episode ever

Patman

So, is Lana in trouble for vaporizing Buffy Sanders?

I didn't mind the Charm-like campiness. What is for certain is that Lex still has the hots for Lana (by his reaction to being told that Lana was infected, but he didn't care about Chloe being infected).

As others have said, this episode wasn't one of the better ones, but I did like that they storytelling format was somewhat different, with a focus more on Chloe. Not so much that it was Choloe, per se, but just that it was different from the usual chain of events. I liked the Marsters/Rosenbaum stuff as well, it should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Meh... filler episode, it had some decent parts in it though. Clark's line about the cape and mask was good, and the Lex / Professor interaction was good too. They were definitely trying to coincide this episode's airing with Halloween...

I can deal with it because it was clearly a Halloween episode, but, please, no more! I half expect the crew to meet Santa Claus this December, only to find out that a LuthorCorp experiment gave a local toymaker the ability to fit down chimneys and move through the town at super speed to deliver toys to all good little boys and girls. Naught or Nice metor rock detection powers activated!

The girls were nice to look at, and the series seems to be continuing along that lines for 3 weeks in a row now. I hope they don't end up relying on it as a crutch though.

Smallville is doing great in the ratings... it almost beat Alias for the Aquaman episode

Ayre

I hear they are filming an Easter episode right now !!! Kryptonite infected chickens lay special eggs that transforms Lex Luthor into Lepus Luthor. He can turn people into Marshmallow Peeps by putting them in a large wicker basket filled with meteor rocks. He uses his new found powers to break into the neighboring homes, stealing the contents of their fridge and hiding the items around their yard.

CaptainMarvel

Who can remember it? IIRC, Clark was unconscious, and all the vampire girls probably lost their memory thanks to the "cure."

Ah, the wonders of amnesia in tv-land.

riley_dude

They conveniently hit the reset button...again, with Lana's memory loss.

So is there going to be a Very Special Smallville episode when Clark does Lana again with his super abilities?

SmithsGuy

How bout a very special episode when Lana remembers Everything and explodes...

The memory-loss is a bit much... Perhaps they rewrite the records to show Buffy died in the fall. Cave of bats, batcave? hehe

Ciao,

In the comics, Lana was the Insect Queen in her teenage years on ocasion.

I'm a bit upset about how the people behind the show are trying to keep the Smallville story separate from the greater Superman universe. For instance After reading that, the show took a step backwards to me. My impression was the show is what was supposed to happen to lead to the actual Superman. If they are going to use some aspects of the other world they should have to confide by all the rules.

I was discussing this earlier with my girlfriend. She was curious about Brainiac, Jor-El, etc...and how they fit into the comic's continuitity. I told her don't even try to figure it out. Because as much as the show might take from the comics, the comics might take from the show/movie [f'rinstance the X-Men wearing stylish black leather , Spider-Man's "organic" webshooters, etc].

Patman

Your impression is indeed wrong. This show is a look at the Superman mythos for a Superman that came to earth in around 1990 as a small child. There are things that taken from the earlier incarnations of Superman lore, but there is no one definitive Superman story, it's a myth that continues to evolve, to be retold and updated to a modern day retelling from its basic tenets.

In comic book terms, it's like a reboot, with less baggage from the rest of the continuity of stories and storylines for the past 60+ years. If this was a Marvel character, "Smallville" would be considered part of their "Ultimate" line of comics in which Marvel did indeed reboot many of their super-heroes to tell tales of them in the present day, where the writers did not have to cowtow to all those decades of "continuity" and history, and were free to create a new future for the principal characters for each comic title.

cornflakeguy

My Smallville watching experiment is over only 4 episodes in. Or rather was over about 3 minutes into it when there were 3 vampire girls biting a pizza delivery guy SO much that the hot tub they were in was deep red.

I punched out and am not looking back. THIS is the story of Clark Kent before he was Superman? Meh. I understand people love it, I'm not trying to start fights. It doesn't agree with me.

Daniel-A

Ah. Well, hmm. I probably wouldn't have minded this had I known from the begining. I can't blame them for this if it were indeed the intended plan form the begining. But after 4 season of thinking it was one way then just finding out this season that it is another I feel misled. It is understandable, though.

riley_dude

You are judging all of Smallville on this episode? Your loss!

Daniel-A

And ours. You should find the season premiers and finales. Those are quite often the best episodes. Aside from the episodes with Alicia

Xander

Wow. And I thought Spell was bad. I'm usually the person who finds the redeeming qualities in an ep, but man did I hate this one. There was definitely some good stuff going on, with Lex and the Professor especially. And the stuff with Clark and his costume was cute. But my God, how many fucking times can we have someone find out Clark's secret, only to lose their memory at the end of the episode?! LAME!!! It was lame the last ten times they did it, and it's still lame. Especially when it's Lana. The whole vampire storyline just did nothing for me. It's the second time I've really been close to fast-forwarding through a Smallville episode. Just not good. But at least we got a few nuggets of gold in there. Hope next week's is better.

This show should be watched from the very beginning. That way you get to get to see how everything started, how Clark Kent's abilities developed and how Lex went from good friend of Clark's to the person he is in season 5. Lex Luthor alone made the show worth watching. Clark and Lex were near best friends for awhile, so that was fun since you knew it had to end sometime (just didn't know how or why).

You should check out the pilot episode. That's what hooked a lot of people in the first place. Following the characters for years from the very beginning tends to make you stick with it threw thick and thin. Jumping in during season 5 won't. . I can't imagine not starting from the beginning. It wouldn't be the same.
