SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 8, Eps. 21-22 and Season Eight Highlights

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…

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 8, Eps. 17-20

30 Jul

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 →

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 8, Eps. 9-12

18 Jul

The Smallville season 8 minicaps is trying to slim down for Chloe and Jimmy’s wedding. Either that, or buy a new suit.

Stewart here…

Clark’s starting to become a hero (if in secret) around Metropolis, and that’s bound to get some attention for the nervous Mr. Kent. But he embraces it, and probably good timing too because things in town are getting weird. Chloe has started to become creepy super-genius, Tess is getting really interested in Lex’s obsession with kryptonian stuff, and Davis has found out he might be a kryptonian WMD whose meant to lay waste to Earth. Plus, Lois is totally not interested in him. What? She isn’t! Continue reading →

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 8, Eps. 5-8

12 Jul

The Smallville season 8 minicaps spends more time in Metropolis these days. It’s not Smallville’s fault.

Stewart here…

Clark has managed to escape the wreckage of the Fortress (whether Lex did as well is another mystery) and set out on the next phase of his life: without Lana and working as a reporter for the Daily Planet alongside Lois. But he also has a new boss in new Luthorcorp boss Tess Mercer, who has inherited Lex’s tendency to get involved in sinister alien stuff. Chloe and Jimmy get engaged, and we meet a possibly new friend in EMT Davis Bloome, who spends his time between saving lives and waking up naked in alleyways. I’m sure the latter part of that’s just a phase he’s going through. Anyhoo… Continue reading →

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 8, Eps. 1-4

2 Jul

Smallville season 8 minicaps: now with 80% less Lex and Lana.

Stewart here…

The big deal-y-o last season is Lex became all out evil by killing his dad, and now his search for the Traveler from another world leading him to the Fortress and Clark. So Lex hooked up some krpytonian trinket to control Clark and it brought the entire Fortress down on both of them. Meantime, Chloe is unable to accept Jimmy’s marriage proposal on account of some government agents arresting her, and Lana has decided to leave Clark and get out of Smallville (and considering she survived being turned into some zombie, maybe that’s not a bad idea). So, let’s go… Continue reading →

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 7, Eps. 17-20 and Season Seven Highlights

24 Jun

The Smallville season 7 minicaps would like to apologize if you don’t like these last few episodes. It was the Writer’s Strike that did that.

Stewart here…

Let’s just get the big news out of the way: LIONEL WAS KILLED BY LEX! Lionel and some of his high-society buddies were involved in a group called Veritas, who worshipped a “Traveler” from space (hint, hint) and now Lex has turned to patricide to find out the identity of this “traveler”. Meanwhile, said “Traveler” Clark Kent loses two women in his life when Lana is left comatose by Brainiac and Kara leaves with Brainiac to who-knows-where save Lana. Oh, and Lana’s is STILL zombified, so so much for that agreement. Continue reading →

Why Smallville will always be my own personal kryptonite

10 Jun

If you’ve been paying attention you know that we love our superheroes here at NerdLush HQ. And Superman is one of our favorites (though we have equal love, apparently, for all DC and Marvel characters). We could (and probably should) sit around as a group and debate the merits of each Superman and it would likely be quite the entertaining roundtable. But since the crew is scattered, it isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.

None of that is why I am here today… I want to talk about why Smallville will always hold a special place in my heart. Continue reading →

SMALLVILLE Minicaps / Season 7, Eps. 13-16

4 Jun

The Smallville season 7 minicaps apologize for the delay. Hopefully Bizarro Smallville season 7 minicaps didn’t mess things up too badly while it was here.

Stewart here…

Its all bad news on the Smallville front. Clark’s finding out what happened while Bizarro Clark had assumed his identity (well, besides schumpting Lana), but not that Bizarro Clark was recently in contact with a reassembled Brainiac. Kara has been found, but doesn’t remember who she is, but Lex is willing to help her find out. Speaking of Lex, he’s murdered Grant, the clone of his already dead brother, and something regarding a thing called Veritas is popping up. We’ll get more on Veritas here, so let’s go… Continue reading →

Man of Steel, take 2

30 Nov

The other day I was sitting around with a friend who admitted he had not seen the recent Superman film, Man of Steel. I saw it in the theater when it came out- didn’t love it- but I had recently gotten the blu-ray (not because I felt it had likely improved or that my opinion had changed but because I own all the Superman films, even Quest for Peace) and it was determined that we should watch it. So we did.
