Tom probably couldn't deny it because he doesn't remember half the things that went on on set with how exhausted he must've been at all times :P Come to think of it, how could you assume Mr. Both Units has time for chili pranks, damn!

I don't think Tom and Michael realize the overall anticipation for the Clark vs Jonathan Kent fight. It was crazy. My family was sooo excited

[@bluesuperman1]

I love that Jonathan can get the upper hand on Clark just as a older guy with more experience. And the fact that Tom pointed out the part with John telling him he'll use the pants belt matches that same dynamic on set! Clark is young and full of angry energy charging him. Jonathan literally picks up him up by the belt and throws him like a little kid. Fighting wiser and more composed

It used to be just Michael that talked over Ryan, but recently Tom's been doing it too. It defeats the purpose of him being there if he's asked a question, then talked over when trying to reply.

[@nickhydier1201]

Another favorite moment of mine is Lex showing that he bought the farm ang giving the deed to the Kents. Loved how Lex said how their wedding present: the compass, helped him find his way. And thus he bought the farm as a show of gratitude. He really showed such genuine friendship and care for the Kents and Clark. He certainly was a part of the family at that point.

Major thank you to Emmanuel Vaugier for her Fluffball Foundation spotlighting Horses N Heroes! I did my medical residency in Ocala, Florida. They have a HUGE socioeconomic gap, with so many people unable to afford the basics so many of us take for granted. Ocala also has a gigantic horsing industry, so Horses N Heroes is creating a win-win opportunity for the underserved and for the horses.

[@vietnameeseguy]

That’s cool that Jonathan grabbing a Clark belt was intentional acting choice. I always thought it was intentional to show how Jonathan would have fighting experience over Clark who just relies on his powers to win fights. Like Jonathan’s character as a protective father farmer who play football back in the day, it would make sense he was in a few brawls back in the day and would be able to beat Clark in a fair fight.

[@brookswilliams5239]

That's that old man strength 💪 😅

[@erinserrano2948]

I felt the same way about Jonathan's fighting

[@tornadochaser2457]

I appreciate how this episode continues the aftermath of Clark's drastic actions in the season 2 finale. Two episodes in Metropolis with Clark on red kryptonite probably would've felt like too much in that setting, but seeing Clark deal with the consequences of making deals with crime-lords in a palpably consequential, intense way is engaging to watch, and the Clark - Jonathan fight was also wonderfully epic, and you can feel the emotion and drama on display due to Jonathan's desperation to get his son back, and Clark's strong desire to pull away from everything he held dear. The Lex aftermath has a nice parallel with the Clark one - They both left their new life in a different setting, and are now dealing with the next events that are being featured in their lives regarding the journey their on.

[@vbrandy7088]

This episode had everything great drama, action and emotional scenes! The ending scene between Clark & Lana was a great scene. What I loved about it is that I could tell that it wasn't the end of their relationship cause even thought Clark broke up with her, you could tell that they were both in love with each other and that it wasn't the end of their love story. The song "White flag" was perfect for the scene. The fight between Clark and Jonathan was epic so was the scene at the docks with Edge and Lionel. Edge taking the Kent in hostage and forcing Clark to give him his blood was great drama. Loved how Lana and Martha teamed up to beat up the bad guy. The emotional scene between Clark and Lana at the Talon was perfectly acted by Kristin & Tom. Loved Clark and Lex's reunion scene it was wholesome then ended on a dark note with Lex talking about his dark side. "Phoenix" gets 🌹🌹 and half from me, one of my fave episodes from S3!

[@jetia7100]

I have always liked that ending scene between Clark and Lana too, it's one that still remains very memorable. Not only because of the great music choice, but I thought Kristin was amazing with the way she delivered her lines and the complex emotions of that moment. I wish we'd heard more about it from Tom's perspective.

[@vbrandy7088]

@@jetia7100 I agree. Seemed like Tom wanted to say something about the scene but Michael interrupted him and started talking about music and they moved on after that. Michael should have stepped back and let him talk about the scene. It's suck when they don't disscus scenes in depth and unfortunately they do that a lot on the pod.

[@vbrandy7088]

@@jetia7100 Exactly! I agree. Tom should talk more, sometimes Michael takes over and barely leave room for him to talk. So many scenes haven't been discussed in depth since the beginning of the pod and it's frustrating cause we're missing out. I wish they would ditch the play by play and just give us a quick synopsis then go right into their thoughts and bts stories about the episodes. The whole recap take too much time, don't give us any new info and make them rush their commentaries. Without it they could actually take their time to discuss important scenes in depth.

[@Kylemcknight97]

Really enjoyed hearing Ryan and Tom contribute to reading the ep. synopsis for a change.

[@chernandez2132]

The scene where Clark and Lex reunite for the first time after their summers of hell is one of my Top moments of the series. There's nothing hidden behind it; they're just happy to see each other. And for Lex, Clark is really the only person he gets that from. I also really loved Lana and Martha fighting back in the barn. And the scene where Clark pulled Morgan Edge out of the car all menacing-like. I didn't see it so much as Clark putting on an act or pretending to be Kal, but more of an "Oh, all that is IN Clark. It's there, and over his lifetime he'll control it, but right now his family is threatened, his secret is at risk of being exposed, and he just gets mad about it." It gives him depth and is part of what makes Superman special. Not that any of that is a new thought, particularly in 2023 when The Boys and Brightburn and Man of Steel exist, but 20 years ago? IDK, it hit different. Loved the fight between Jonathan and Clark - and I noticed the belt hold! It felt really authentic considering Jonathan doesn't years of getting accustomed to super speed and strength. And yet, despite all that, every time this episode ends my first thought is always still "The Kansas docks...wtf, lol."

[@jerodast]

I tend to roll my eyes at the whole Lex/Clark friendship sometimes because of the age difference (and also things like Clark just strolling into the mansion with no notice at any hour haha), but that scene with the two of them reuniting was so pure just like you said, I love it. Also great analysis of what's below the surface with Clark. Look, if all the actual cities/names can be different in the DCU, then why can't the literal geography/hydrology also be different :P

I agree with Brian G. I've watched and re-watched those episodes and Helen did a complete 180 from season 2 to season 3. Her being written out felt as abrupt as Whitney. The writers clearly didn't have a plan for a lot of the side characters.

[@nickhydier1201]

This second episode was such a great follow up to the season premiere Exile. Opening with the epic Super fight between Clark and Jonathon. With such heartfelt reunions between Martha/Clark and Clark/Lex. Morgan Edge kidnapping the Kents and forcing Clark to draw his blood to give to him as replacement for the stolen package was always chilling. Loved the action of Lana defended Jon and Martha against the thugs. Really fun to see Kristin kick butt in early Smallville. The dock fight with Lionel vs Egde's men was great too. Lex and Helen going on their second honeymoon ang getting in the scuffle also nice drama. Emmanuelle Vaugier is always a treasure.

Clark and Lex hugging it out is one of, if not my favorite, scene(s) as we can see their brotherhood is still intact... This definitely had thriller vibes... The last scene with Clark and Lana is a really good scene even though it was sad... Also seeing Lionel's reaction when Lex hugs him was cool...

It's funny hearing the difference between actor perspective and viewer perspective on how "abrupt" Helen's exit was haha. "She had 9 episodes, that wasn't too abrupt!" Well yeah, if they just like, dated off and on, even a 1 episode appearance wouldn't have been abrupt Michael. But your characters got MARRIED and she did a complete face-heel turn including multiple plane crashes and deals with crime kingpins in those episodes! Really, that all happened in about THREE episodes! Of course it was abrupt you goofus 😂😂 Actually one of the more unnatural "eh we've run out of things to write for this character" exits I can recall from the show to be honest.

[@jerodast]

...but anyway I agree, their relationship was possibly the most real-feeling one in the whole series aside from Jonathan and Martha, UNTIL the season finale & premiere wrenched it all up, so I always appreciated how grounded and good Helen was as a character, huge props to EV.

@@jerodast Yes, I agree. Very good points. She was introduced slowly over season 2, first meeting Lex in angermanagement, they had several scenes at SVMC. Even dealing with her ex. Then getting engaged, moving in. The wedding, her conspiring with Lionel to crash their plane, stranding Lex. Working with Morgan and finally attempting to kill him. All that certainly wasn't abrupt. I guess actors see things differently since they are working on the scenes/episodes.

This season is fantastic. I think it is the moment that television shows changed forever. Before SMALLVILLE season 3, television was episodic. He'll season one and two were episodic, meaning that the episodes were each self-contained, and the threat was resolved before the credits. Season 3 began the tradition of ending episodes without everything being resolved. That is to say the episodes end with a looming threat that will have to be dealt with at some point in a future episode. Furthermore, they continue without having the pre requisite "To be continued" and the shows stakes get higher from episode to episode.

I love the podcasts. But I also love Tom's muffled laughter every time in the episodes. Quite amusing.

I wonder if she listen to the podcast. Even in prison. It would actually be kind of awkward if it got out that she does, it would make Michael and Tom conscious about it. I mean they praise her acting and everything, but it would still be weird to be reminded, every time, that "Oh, damn! She's actually hearing all this."

[@seanporteous7596]

@MattHunX If I'm not mistaken, I think she's fresh out of prison. So she's got some catching up to do if she didn't. But it's still nice to hear Michael and Tom praise her acting every once in a while

Yay!! Loving this podcast way too much!! ❤️❤️

[@Samsepiioll]

Gonna miss the new episodes during the strike, good thing I have a ton of episodes to binge and catch up on

Podcasts and conventions aren't affected. The actors/writers just can't work or promote current projects.

Love this podcast and y’all. To me the person who was the most excited to see Lex was Clark. I was surprised to see that Morgan and Lionel were friends. I thought that the fight scene between Jonathan and Clark was epic. Chole had a lot of great lines. To me we need a Flannel King shirt. Clark was definitely on his apology tour. Kind of creepy that Lionel had cameras on his plane. Lex working with Lionel is definitely going to lead Lex to the dark side. Why did Helen do it? I thought the fact that Lex bought the farm because of the compass was powerful. Poor Lana gets broken up with her. Schneider wisdom.

A Flannel King shirt would be awesome!

[@jerodast]

Haha great compact bullet points :) Flannel King is a good line isn't it... I would say Morgan and Lionel are definitely _frenemies._

[@HumorNWaffles]

I think we need another shirt with Tom's face and the caption: "I don't remember it." Lol

Tom mentioned Sinead O'Connor who passed away the day this video was released. RIP Ms O'Connor

Awesome! Season 3 is my absolute favorite, especially with Lex’s breakdown and the storyline with his father was gold while Clark kept trying to help his friend and get in trouble for it. Anyhow, this first episode of the season did a really great job at setting the vibe, this is when the Superman foundations had already been laid and when everything is about to get darker. Awesome to have Emmanuelle Vaugier too! She was really great in this episode as her character’s secret was out. Keep up the great content!

Currently binging the whole Smallville series. Started last week. Currently on S4 E20. I remember sitting down as a kid watching the very 1st episode. Love this damn show.

[@TheBoyAustin]

Emmanuele aged like fine wine 🍷 I remember her on Two & a Half Men as well.

[@olivercaan520]
