Welcome back, Arrowheads! Are you finished scooping your jaw off the floor after last week’s shocker ending? Which one do I mean, you ask? No, not the one where it seems Ollie won’t be getting a second date with Felicity. I mean the one where Sara gets three arrows to the chest and is dead…again!
The Smallville season 10 minicaps has someone new running Watchtower, so we apologize for any late replies to your comments.

Clark managed to avoid getting beamed up to wherever with Zod and the Kandorians, but still has a lot more problems to deal with on Earth. There’s the warnings of a great evil coming, and Jor-El feels Clark isn’t ready to fight it. Then there’s a shady government guy who’s tagging and monitoring superheroes. Then there’s Chloe faking her death and going into hiding. Then there’s Oliver revealing he’s Green Arrow to the public. Then there’s Lois knowing Clark’s secret unbeknownst to him. Then there’s the anti-vigilante push starting to simmer. And even then, there’s the Lex clone that Tess is secretly raising. Man, here’s hoping this round of minicaps gets him a break.

The Smallville season 10 minicaps wishes it could kick back and relax for its final season, but hey, it’s got a lot of work to do.
Stewart here…
Last season, Clark Kent went through a lot of changes. He’s embracing his role as a hero in Metropolis, he’s embracing a relationship with Lois, and he’s embracing being a mentor to a bunch of kryptonians like him that have arrived on Earth. Mucking up things for Mr. Kent was Zod, whose twisted need to dominate humanity was barely stopped as the Kandorians were taken to a new home. The downside was by season’s end, Tess was left burnt and possibly dead, Oliver swarmed by some unknown force, and Clark was stabbed with a blue kryptonite dagger (which also prevented him from being sent on the Kandorians travel bus like Zod and company). Well, let’s get into the final season of Smallville, shall we, people? Continue reading
The Smallville season 9 minicaps has been brought to you by Body by Zod. Kneel before Zod, do ab crunches before Zod…

This season, Clark started a bit of a special project: to help the displaced Kandorians (well, clones of Kandorians to be fair) find a home of their own on Earth. But, there was a snag in the Kandorians’ leader, Zod. He wanted his people to rule over humanity and because of this, went a little bit nuts. Like “accidentally killed his wife and unborn child and then lied about it to jump start the domination of humanity”. So, Clark has to contend with a small gaggle of people with his super powers, while finding a mythical kryptonian artifact, the Book of Rao, that could have the power to stop this.
Before I forget, Checkmate is in ruins, the mysterious Red Queen is still out there, and Lois and Clark are out of jobs. Soooo, that just about covers it. Let’s see how this season ends… Continue reading
The Smallville season 9 minicaps presents its Lois Lane mega dress up episode.
Stewart here…
We get opened to a lot of big reveals from last time. There were other super heroes known as the Justice Society of America, who are now reforming thanks to Clark’s help. John Jones has managed to get his Martian powers back, Lois is finally clear of those creepy memories of the future, and Tess is revealed to be an agent of the shadowy government group Checkmate, who wants to do more than just keep tabs on our heroes. And also, Clark tries to prevent the dark future Lois saw by making nice with Zod and the Kandorians. Let’s see how badly this goes… Continue reading
The Smallville season 9 minicaps are still waiting for their JSA application to go through.
Stewart here…
So, we found out quite a bit about Zod and those Kandorians now on Earth, thanks to surprising return of Jor-El. Well, they are all clones (Jor-El included) that Jor-El and Zod helped make in case Krypton met disaster. Things didn’t go well for the two prior to that, and Zod harbors a serious hate for Jor-El. However, clone Jor-El gets killed, before Zod can find out about some book he’s hidden on Earth. And Clark, who is still navigating trying to start a relationship with Lois (who is having more potent flashes of the future), is debating the last words clone Jor-El passed on to him: “Save Zod”. Ummm, wanna read on and see how that goes? Continue reading
Smallville season 9 minicaps have no plans for any Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog cameos this installment…or EVER.

Last time, Clark’s attempt to be a full-time hero hit some big snags. One is the arrival of Zod and his Kandorian army, not as powerful as Clark, and still under the kryptonian’s radar. Another is the return of Lois from where or whenever she’s been, and the nightmarish visions she’s having. And then there’s Oliver, who’s been in a bit of a downward spiral of late that seems to be getting worse. Plus, now that Chloe is in charge of Watchtower, she’s been getting really secretive and kind of manipulative. And Tess is trying to figure out what Zod is up to, along with watching Clark. So, that’s everything, I think. I mentioned the person appearing in a landing site marked with the House of El crest, right? Oh. Well let’s get to that, then… Continue reading
The Smallville season 9 minicaps has been brought to you by the color black.

Last season, the whole Davis Bloome/Doomsday storyline ended with both man and monster separated, and yet, both of them meeting quick demises. But Clark and company still faced a lot of grief over what happened, like Jimmy’s death, Clark and Oliver turning against each other in deciding Davis’s fate, and Clark deciding to ditch being Clark Kent to be a full-time superhero. On the other end, Lois vanished into what we assume is the future, and Tess has heralded the arrival of Zod to Earth. So where do we start up this season? Continue reading
The Smallville season 8 minicaps would like to apologize for what happens in this installment. It’s not excusable.
Stewart here…
The whole Davis Bloome/Doomsday thing is starting to swing out of control, now that all our heroes (and villains) are aware what kind of threat he is. Not that Davis tries to take himself out of the equation, but that attempt just doesn’t work. Now Chloe is sheltering Davis in a crazy attempt to save both Davis and Clark from destroying one another. And meanwhile, Oliver is helping out Jimmy with a stable job besides pill-popping maniac, while dealing with his own guilt over killing Lex. Plus, Tess has some other odd kryptonian orb that I’m sure won’t be another world-ending calamity in the making. OK, who are we kidding? It pretty much will be. So, let’s jump in…
The Smallville season 8 minicaps is now 100% Lana free. It took us a while, but we finally got around to it. Thank you for your patience.
Stewart here…
We had some brief returns of some long-time players in Smallville that have been absent this season. One was Lana, who underwent a procedure to become superpowerful, only to get her and Clark’s new perfect relationship sunk when she gets irradiated with kryptonite. And that happens thanks to the other returning player, Lex Luthor, who is physically destroyed from that experience at the Arctic, and who ends up dead thanks to an explosion caused by Oliver Queen. Meanwhile, Tess seems to be aware of Clark’s secret, and lets him know as much despite his denials. Our other villain this season, Davis Bloome, is now murdering criminals and keeping people off his scent through some pretty extreme measures, like Jimmy, who thinks Davis is the killer, and gets drugged up bad for it. That drugging up doesn’t help Jimmy convince Chloe of what’s going on, and either due to the pills he’s starting to pop more than regularly or his own insecurities, wants to not be married to Chloe anymore. Sniff.
Oh, Chloe, can you make things worse somehow? Not to spoil what’s coming up here in this round of minicaps, but the short answer is “yes”… Continue reading
