actually the guy clark fought wasn't a phantom
and who was the guy that killed the before he messed clark up?

Kind of a snoozer of an episode, the LexLana union is hurl-worthy.

Why does Clark think in slow motion at times?

So how did y'all like the intro of the mystery dude:

Boring.

Average. I guess Clark didn't have much screen time (again) because Welling's prepping to direct an episode?

Kill Lana now.
Don't let the show become The Young Justice League. I get the feeling the creators desperately want to end this thing next season and are trying their best to find a spinoff show. Aquaman didn't happen, so maybe Green Arrow? Or The Young Martian Manhunter Chronicles?

Hmm. A pretty average episode. I did like the Martian Manhunter making a slight appearance. Clark, again, barely has any screen time which is starting to get a little annoying.

Just reading over at the Kryptonsite message boards, and somebody made a good point. The end scene with Clark and 'Chloe', well, that wasn't Chloe at all. That was actually the Martian Manhunter yet again.

That's for the spoilers if indeed that's a spoiler... :rolleyes: I appreciate Patman's discretion (read: did not look at his tag, don't want to find out if he's saying the same as both you others).

Otherwise, average. Easily the worst of the season so far, but it wasn't horrible.

No... the Phantom Zone Park Ranger episode was the worst this year. This one is close behind.

I am tired of the episode in every sci fi show where the character is there but no one can see them. How many times have we seen that??
I think they should have Asmore's brother on have an Xmen crossover with Iceman.
Just a thought.

The LexLana subplot screamed "Ghost" to me.

Why would they have a DC / Marvel crossover on TV no less?

OMG!! Is this the first episode ever where Clark doesn't burst into Lex's home??!! OMG!!!

Disappointing, after the run of really enjoyable episodes, but still ok. (In previous seasons, there have usually been a few worse episodes by now, so I'm not complaining.)

Just a dream.
So what was that glob on that things back? Did Martian Manhunter leave that and did he kill him.

I thought it was a little funny that over the last few eps many here have mentioned just how quickly Clark beats who ever he seems to face.. Ok guy is Superman so that's sort of a given but still, this time, this time I was SURE we were going to be in for a battle.. I mean look at that guy! Clearly stronger then Clark right now, ok this will be a................

oh wait, it's over, being big baddy was beat quickly by something even bigger and badder. :lol: Oh well, maybe NEXT ep, we get a battle.

Batista's part amounted to nothing more than a cameo. Now that WWE is on CW, I guess they saw this as a "crossover" opportunity. Didn't work.

No Green Arrow or Lois = :down:
Lex/Lana = :yack: :yack:

Most hilarious part of the episode though was when Clark looks like hes going to pop a nerve fondling the oreo in his hand. I've just never seen a man so perplexed by a cookie.

boy martians sure do waste a lot of cookies

show tanks a little when queen and lois aren't in it. the lana and lex thing must end soon with lana being killed because she drags the show down all by herself. she can't act and is always braindead when it comes to Lex's dealings.

Who is that?

A WWE wrestler.

even better is how normally anyone can walk right in, but in this one there's a full swat like team of security guards

the #1 good guy on CW's Friday Night Smackdown

Now, I admit the show hasn't exactly followed the books faithfully, but anyone who reads the comics knows who eats oreos (or "chocos") thanks to Keith Giffen & J.M. DeMatteis. Oh, and he also has glowing red eyes. Hell, even my fiance said "Oh, there's the Martian Manhunter" after his eyes glowed and he flew off (she doesn't read comics, but I filled her in on the whole "oreo" connection when Clark picked up the cookie in the barn).

However, his nonchalant killing of Batista was weird. J'onn is normally a pacifist. Unless they're drawing from the current kinda-sorta pissed off Martian Manhunter. And, it has been said from time to time (depending on who's writing him) that J'onn's as powerful, and sometimes more powerful than Clark. Again, depending one who's writing him.

Other than that...

No Lois? :up: No Oliver? :up: I'm sick of them both.

Lana needs to die a horrible, vicious death. I keep hoping, but it's not happening. After six years, I like it that she's still rationalizing with "If Lex was hiding something, would he be letting us look around here". :rolleyes: WHATEVER. Die bitch.
