Smallville -- "Beast" -- 4/30/09

Smallville

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Clark discovers Davis is alive and confronts Chloe about her role in hiding him. Meanwhile, Oliver and Jimmy are attacked by Davis at Chloe's apartment.



Episode 20. 2 more left. Sounds like a decent episode. Hopefully they will put a close to this Chloe/Davis thing soon.

Just got caught back after kinda losing interest when Lana came back. Hopefully it's a good one.

Yep, can't wait for this one. Getting back to the main storyline, also i am waiting for some damn fight scenes, so this should be good.

Enjoy the show everyone!

I would rather see the inclusion of the letter R into the title between B and E and just have Lois and Chloe run around braless wearing wifebeaters.

I would prefer a heat wave so all the guys are running around shirtless.

Excellent episode. Loved part where Clark slams down the cell hone.

So Chloe explains that she is hanging out with Davis to protect Clark. I'm still not sure about that. Bright side is that Jimmy's story is taking a turn in right direction.

Hated the epsiode. I've said it before but it warrants repeating: when the Legion removed Brainiac from Chloe they accidentally labotomized her.

I did find it funny when Clark smashed that file cabinet while holding the cell phone and the phone remained undamaged.

Once again, Lois was MIA. And Clark still has the reflexes of a drunken hobo.

And I just knew Chloe was going to show up at the last minute when Clark and Davis were at the Fortress. However, I found it curious how Davis recoiled when Chloe showed up before he even saw her. It's more than obsession keeping him in check. So perhaps the writers have an ace up their sleeve and Brainiac is still within Chloe.

I did like that they are fixing Jimmy finally.

Finally a good episode. I was hoping they were going to kill Jimmy but I guess I can't be that lucky. So they're scrapping the Watchtower storyline that they started only a couple of weeks ago?

Durrance must have a great deal, she only has to appear in about half of the episodes and still gets listed in the credits.

The whole thing with Chloe is beyond stupid. She's become dumber than Lana.

Great episode, the short fights scene was good, davis was no match for clark lol.
As for chloe, um well, she thinks she is protecting clark, but davis is killing people, so really chloe needs to wake up.

Man I so want this arc to end. Can't stand it. Chloe is beyond annoying now. And no Lois.

Re: Smallville -- "Beast" -- 4/30/09

Chloe is certainly fast becoming stupid which is annoying.
Although, I did like that almost everyone in the episode called her out on her decision making lately especially with Olly saying "how did you really think this was gonna end?"

It seemed like the writer's were aware they were dumbing Chloe down.

Overall though, I have enjoyed the past 2 episodes which has been a rareity since I started watching Smallville.

I get the impression that Chloe has something up her sleeve, that she seriously thinks she can stop the Davis threat forever. Either that, or she really is the one TV character whose IQ has dropped more than any other.

She did mention Brainiac, didn't she? Might not be the end of that guy yet.

But I read that next week...

Anakin changes his mind and tells Mace to finish off Palpatine.

I hope that was subtle enough.

I agree. I don't like what they are doing with her character.
Other than that issue, I like the episode overall.

Re: Smallville -- "Beast" -- 4/30/09

I don't like the Chloe storyline either. I suppose it's on purpose, but all of the chemistry her character had with Davis is gone as well. However, I've been thinking for a while she's been doing this for Clark, so that's probably why.

Perhaps for a split second I thought they were going to kill Jimmy, but it's Jimmy - can you really take out somebody that central to the mythos? I will say I thought 'pissed off; kill me now' Jimmy was the best acting work that AA has done on the show.

I'm okay with it, but it's as if they gave all of the normal Chloe moral lines to Oliver. Nice pep talks. I especially like his talk with Chloe; another plus for, "How did you really think this was going to end?"

If you go back to the comics I don't seem to recall Clark ever having such anxiety over kill Doomsday. Are we really supposed to arrive at the point then where Clark is forced to make that decision and be okay with? I'm not convinced that would be better for him than sending Doomsday to the phantom zone.

Do we have more Lois over the next two weeks? It would be good if she's there to give Clark more of a female comfort/advice perspective now that Chloe has gone off the deep end. Would also help bring about more of the Lois/Clark relationship.
