Zombies? In alignment with Zombieland??

On a bright note the show can only get better!!

Surprisingly this wasn't that bad of an episode.

I'm not crazy about the Zombie concept, although I liked Zombieland. The stuff with Green Arrow was pretty good.

I wasn't sure exactly where this was headed, I thought they were taking a break from the story with one of those "filler" episodes, but glad that the end tied things up. Pretty good show.

Re: Smallville Season 9

The next 3 episodes are loaded with Oliver/Green Arrow.

• ECHO-The toyman seeks revenge on Oliver. Clark is gifted the power to hear people's thoughts as part of his training by his father.
• ROULETTE-A woman forces Oliver to play in a dangerous game and then turns up dead. The police believe Oliver is responsible and arrest him. Meanwhile, Lois confronts Clark over his knowledge about Oliver's suicide attempt.
• CROSSFIRE-Oliver offers to train a new girl, Mia, to keep her safe from danger. Lois and Clark are stunned when a radio station want both of them to be their new hosts.

Not sure how I feel about Clark getting mind reading abilities-might be for the short term.

I still have to watch last week's show. It's on the DVR but the itch to watch this show just isn't as strong.

I'm glad Oliver is coming back. He was a pretty cool character. Tess needs to go pretty soon though. I have zero interest in that character and I think it would be better if the show broke away from the Clark vs. Lex/Lex successor theme. Seeing Tess hit a punching bag once every episode just seems pointless as does her running the Daily Planet.

Tess is too messed up to keep up with. They want to do something with her and Oliver so she's not going away soon.

The origin story with her and Oliver was interesting. Hopefully she will get interesting again because right now she's not imo.

Yeah, I liked the origin story and Tess and Ollie have good chemistry, but they have her going off the reservation too much.

Re: Smallville Season 9

Just watched the last two episodes and they were decent. I still hate how Jor-El from the dead can just grant any ability or power to anyone. Clark can hear people's thoughts? C'mon.

This show has to throw the biggest pity parties for characters in the history of TV. We had to put up with Lana's whining for years and now you are going to turn Oliver into a big baby? Heaven help me.

You're right about the pity stuff-need to continue heavy doses of Lois.

I'm very pleased with the amount of Lois time this year. I hope this continues.

Re: Smallville Season 9

Interesting that Callum Blue, who plays Zod,is signed on for two years, for a long term story arc. Of course it's not written in stone, but that would indicate a decent possibility of one more season.

Re: Smallville Season 9

Smallville has run in circles from the start. The writers cant think of anything new.

Why does every story have to be about the same 4 or 5 people. I am sick of Chloe!!!!

Clark should be saving new people week to week. There should be new villians. Not every villian or enemy has to be about meteor rocks! It almost makes Clark a complete wussy, because its like everyones beating him up anymore. Half the time he gets saved! Superman, excuse me the blur(just like the comics...) is a pansy, who has no intelligance, and needs Chloe to tell him how to live.

What was with the zombies? That was the dumbest thing ever. Ya lets fly a jet over metropolis and release a dust to save the entire city.......Thats a lot of dust! Not to mention Im sure there would be people in there homes who didnt get hit. Why would a zombie take a shower...etc....The list goes on and on about how dumb the writers were. Its like Smallville is now for 12 years old and under.

The red and blue blur was dumb. Chloe knowing the answers more then Clark is dumb. Lana being a supergirl is the dumbest thing ever, and why does every lead character know kung fu??

Re: Smallville Season 9

You make many great points wheelman and every time one of those thoughts kicks into my head, I just think of Lois and ignore how ridiculous some things get.

The zombie episode required quite a bit of looking the other way at things. I do think the FBI should hire Chloe because he computer skills are at a level beyond any hacker in history.
