29:37 it’s funny because they did a similar thing with Lana and Bizarro. That would be classed as S Assault because she did not consent to do that with bizarro she thought it was Clark the whole time.

Clana has been repeatedly dragged through the dirt countless times with these ridiculous plot lines.

[@ramonaengels9277]

I agree, especially since Bizarro had all of Clark's memories! Clark hurt Lana so many times and acted like the biggest A-hole ever, but was above it all when it came to this!

[@Endure-n-Survive]

Growing up is me realizing that Clark was a jerk fr - he put this girl through so much and couldn’t let her go until he physically wasn’t able to Yall remember in S2 when they broke up and Clark became blind and then had the audacity to ask Lana to try again like bro really just wanted to be a burden on her (every time he loses his powers) but when he’s fine he’s out 🤣🤣

I think it was more because Chloe figured it out before Lana did. Bizarro may be a copy but personality, he is different. Lana was really hoping the Bizarro was actually Clark cause she was getting everything she wanted.

[@redlox2]

@@seriouslyzany9232 to be fair I feel a lot of Clark anger was hurt. She openly said that “Clark” was more open with her (indicating she actually preferred Bizarro acting like Clark).

Smallville really opened my eyes to the industry in Vancouver. I moved there shortly before the first season started filming, and it was all over the news paper and radio, and some guy started driving his personal dukes of hazard car around to show off to John. Seen it being filmed a few times, but was too shy to say anything. My sister and niece did run up to Tom one time when they were filming downtown, and he was very nice. They were intercepted by a Ron Jeremy looking guy. It was hilarious, but he was very kind. Tom that is, not the other guy. He was just scary and he did his job very well. 😂

It was nice to see James again as Milton Fine, I love his subtle acting and his scenes with Lex. It really broke my heart to watch Clark breaking Lana's heart. When he told her he didn't love her anymore, she took a step back and it looked like it physically hurt her. I really wish the writers would have chosen a different way. He could have told her that he has unresolved issues he can't share with her and it not fair to her so he lets her go so she can be happy. I remembered Simone and her necklace. When I first watched the episode, I thought they only broke the necklace but now I see she was dead. It was a nice episode; I will give it 🌹and a half roses.

And this is not my opinion, I'm a writer for over 10 years and that's just the truth, they're terribly written. I understand people liking them in the beginning, thinking they're cute in the first there Seasons but they Just Lost ALL Sense after that. Ask to any writer to Tell you, even If they like tem they Will Tell you that. You don't even have to go too Far...Tom Welling and the writers of the show said that. Of course there is people that couldn' Care less about that, they Just want to watch a cute couple fall in love and that's it, and you could even find writers that like Clana, but they Will Tell you they're Just bad for each other cause every writer know a well written couple should grow together and not let the other person worse. And especially when one of these people in the relationship is supposed to became the saviour of the world. And in fact Smallville writers knew that, so much that in the beginning Lana used to literary wore Kryptonite, meaning she made him weak,and Superman needed to be with someone that made him strong. The writers knew, It was how they were written, they probably wanted to have ended their relationship pretty sooner but didn't have the right to Lois yet,so they couldn' start their relationship before that.

I loved the freak of the week format for the early season and then the transition to the more episodic overarching story. Also, I was humming What Are We Here For while making breakfast this morning and I think part of the reason Talkville's been so successful is you immediately hear that absolute earworm of a guitar riff. Such a beautiful melody. Not sure who from Sun Spin wrote that if it was Michael, GREAT JOB. Awesome song.

You handled the questions really well. Michael Rosenbaum - I cant believe you asked someone if they've had sex with the show on in the background! ((Shaking head disapprovingly)) No, I havent either... 🙄😅 This wasnt the best Smallville episode, but I really liked the Brainiac and Lex scenes. The breakup scene was beautifully shot, albiet sad at the same time. Martha is the best, and she was right - way in the back of Clark's mind, maybe he knows that Lana isn't the one. I really wish this was the end of CLANA. I was over and done with that at this point. However, I was so upset for Lana when she saw Clark almost doing the deed with Simone - Kristin really did a great job. But yes, Clark definitely was SA'd in this episode. SPOILERS (I'm SO sorry Ryan - DON'T LOOK!:) Lois and Clark start catching feelings/love season 8, date during season 9, get engaged season 10 and marry by the end of the series (well, technically by the future scene.) So no, it doesnt take until the very last episode of season 10 for those two to admit feelings/date...good lord, that would've been torture (for me) if they dragged it out that long! LOL.

[@lincoln2324]

29:16 she actually raises up a good point there. It was 2005 or 2006 and it was taken lightly BUT the exact same scene and context TODAY would create toxic controversy in social networks. It's also proofed that hypnosis can work on people and do they are asked to to BUT not if those actions go against the person's nature. So, to put it more simply, Clark is guy that actually wants to have sex but it's the lying part with lana that makes him hold back and be awkward. Simone represents somehow a relieve from that situation making Clark to be more sexually relaxed and confident

[@Income-ko6us]

I liked the caller's question and Ryan's explanation. I've always wondered why that thing was able to hypnotise Clark, especially since we know he's immune to such things-he can't even have his mind read unless it's by another alien. I wish they had given a clearer explanation, but I recall them mentioning it was 'a thousand times stronger.' Adding to what Ryan said-that, deep down, Clark didn’t truly want to be with Lana-there’s a belief that you can’t be hypnotised unless you’re somewhat willing. And, when hypnotised, you can’t be forced to do something that you don't want to deep down, for example. like taking your own life, because we’re hardwired to survive. Ryan's explanation could therefore make sense for why Clark was affected but I just guessing here, like I said I wish they offer some kind of explanation why he was affected.

They dragged that out WAY longer than it should have been.

It was their breakup for the next 1.5 seasons though, so I didn't even realize they were wrong when they were saying it... 😅

Michael makes a comment concerning the multiple hits to Martha Kent's skull, and the lasting impact it could have. Michael, with the number of times you got hit on the head.....oh.....maybe you're right.

Michael's suggestive smirk after saying 'Nicole Hiltz'. Ye, we get it Michael! :P

I can't start season 6 because I don't want to get ahead of the pod. At the moment I'm currently binging Gotham. I just finished the first 4 episodes of season 2. And now here I am watching the pod.

What didnt make sense was that Clark said he will always love lana the episode before, then said he doesn't love her this episode

30:30 When people are in altered states of consciousness they actually use their physical strength much more, some regulatory mechanisms are simply inhibited. Lex's sentence is correct. It only gets weird because he's so suspicious of Clark's abilities that he even bothered someone to prove it. And when he succeeds, he doesn't seem to believe it.
