RUN (S4E05) w/ KYLE GALLNER! Kid In a Candy Store & Michael vs. The Director

[@bosarvinski907]

I recall the final moment of this episode always stuck with me. "Why don't you come with me? "Why don't you stay?" "Only if you can catch me." That moment.....that moment.....Bart starts running, Clark playfully runs after. Bart has the lead, he knows it, waves goodbye. Speeds off. Then Clark stops as the music plays. I recall it was such a memorable departure. And it stuck with me.

[@brittanywindham1619]

And it feels like today!!!!

[@matthewschelle1829]

Same

[@coachvictor_game]

Same! Feels like todaaay, made me know about Rascal Flatts

[@Costas22]

When Bart gives Clark the hot babe's phone number and Martha's calls him, notice how Clark sneakily puts the paper in his pocket before he goes to his mom. One of Tom's most underrated comedic moments.

[@macewindu224]

haha smooth

[@TalkVillePodcast]

great catch

[@cainabel2009]

I agree, I wish they would have mentioned how Clark ditched town and hopped to another country to pick up girls lol. Bart also taught Clark how to enjoy using his powers, so much so that Clark decided to go for a run instead of taking the car. I also wish they mentioned the race at the end a little bit more and how shock Clark's face was when he realized Bart is so much faster than him. Go to any Smallvile site, KZbin channel, etc regarding this episode and when people talk about this episode they also mention Clark's face when he sees Bart just zoom across leaving him in the dust. They also state the Clark showed no hate, no jealousy, etc but was happy to be around someone like him, well not like him, you know what I mean. I wish Tom would have given a little insight on how he played that scene and what was going through his mind.

​@@cainabel2009I agree

[@r.r.anderson8801]

I had a friend over to watch this episode who had never seen Smallville before. He didn't say much, except when Clark tells the thug he "shouldn't be here" and throws him through the roof, my friend stood up and said "He just killed that guy! That guy is dead!" I've never forgotten that.

[@spencergsmith]

Not necessarily, it depends on how high he threw him. If he travels 10 feet above the roof and he falls down on the roof, that’s only a 10 foot fall, which is harmful but not deadly.

[@Costas22]

Smallville's Superman killed a lot more people than Zack Snyder's did.

[@DrDickParker]

@@spencergsmithcome on man. He threw him thru a sheet metal roof and then dog fell into a camper. Something in there had to stab cut or puncture the man

[@spencergsmith]

@@DrDickParkermaybe, but again, not necessarily. For all we know, Clark used his x-ray vision to know there was nothing that would kill him, and knew that a 30ft (or maybe less) fall wouldn’t kill him. I’m not saying definitely, I’m just saying maybe.

[@TeamMajinBuu]

​@spencergsmith yeah maybe he is just paralyzed for life or something 😂

[@joelsimmons5271]

The ending of this one is the most memorable moment of Smallville. Clark got to see the world thru Barts eyes and remind him its okay to have fun with your powers. The nod to that with Tom & Schneider and John asking Clark " Alright you wanna use the Truck"? Clark replying "Nah, I kind of wanna stretch my legs" was perfect!

[@alwaysxnever]

Absolutely. That scene stuck with me for years before I refreshed my memory more recently.

[@JoeyBag-O-Doughnuts]

The ending to "Run" is so beautiful. Knowing that someone like you will be ok, gives you hope for yourself.

[@KiraYoza]

Watched it as a kid must’ve been like 10 and that end scene blew my mind especially after watching Justice League as a kid too seeing the speed level of Bart Allen compared to Clark the smile on both of their faces racing and the music still sticks in my mind now at 29 yrs old so well done

[@ScoutSilico]

Seeing Kyle's natural astonished reaction to Clark throwing a dude through the roof would have been perfect for his character. He knows that Clark is fast but seeing that should have blown him away.

[@jerodast]

Actually that's a really good point. First of all it's hilarious picturing young Kyle on the set like that, but it's actually weird how few characters in the show are like "HOLY CRAP YOU JUST THREW THAT GUY THROUGH A WALL!" Usually it's villains who are just mean and cranky about it, not as much room for fun surprise reactions.

[@batterystore2932]

I thought this exact point while watching / listening. A young persons reaction could definitely be that.

[@BrunoRafaBR]

Also some funny facts: - The Lucifer from Lucifer TV Show is actually from the DC Universe, and his first appearence on a DC comic was actually a Superman comic! - In the crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths, Tom Welling comes back to play Clark Kent, and Tom Ellis to play Lucifer... putting these characters in the same multiverse. - That made Tom Welling accidentally play 2 characters from the same TV Multiverse (Clark in Smallville, and Cain in Lucifer) Another extra accidental fun fact: - Dean Cain (who played Clark Kent) shows in Smallville to play a DC character that is immortal and has lived since the beginning of humanity... just like Tom Welling's character Cain from Lucifer TV Show... that also played Clark Kent... 🤯🤯 Coincidences can be crazy!

[@macewindu224]

[@JPDarkHeart02]

Though the comic character Dean Cain played was never named, we all know he was Vandal Savage.

[@romarqable]

​@@JPDarkHeart02he actually was named. It was Curtis Knox, same initials as Clark Kent. As a reference to Smallville, on Legends Of Tomorrow Vandall Savage uses Curtis Knox as a moniker in one episode.

[@kadosho02]

"Run" an awesome episode from start to finish. Love the dynamic between Clark and Bart. Plus seeing more of Lex's personality shift, as things around him change. It is a feel good episode, every scene is wild, and fun. To see Clark enjoy himself more, working with friend's, creating a unique bond. Even when the things they do may be challenging, there is always a way to make things right Bummer Kyle was never picked up for a series. Hmm you never know. If there is something in the works, maybe a JL crew reunion?

[@alwaysxnever]

More Kyle Gallner?! I'm here for it. 32:35 exactly that. Was fun to have Clark in the backfoot with someone else taking the lead. I was all in on this dude as an actor after this episode. Everytime he popped up on a tv episode or in a movie he is always a delight.

The Lana and Martha reminded me of Clark telling Whitney he'd take the man over the memory when Whitney's dad was sick. The relationship between Clark and Bart was great. I loved the "League" comment and the look and Clark's face when Bart went supersonic. I did find it funny how Lex said he didn't want to keep secrets from Clark but kept the map reveal from Clark. This was a solid 2 roses for me. I really liked Kyle in American Sniper. He's really talented. Glad you guys had him on. I love how most of your guests say that they felt safe on your set.

[@44excalibur]

Bart isn't The Flash, so it would have been inappropriate anyway.

[@jerodast]

Lex this season definitely crossed over to just being willing to straight up lie to Clark now. Something has been broken between them forever. After Clark discovered the room, and perhaps after the experience with his father and taking full control of Luthorcorp. He wouldn't mind being friends, but he has his own agenda that takes priority, and he's happily keeping up the facade of let's be friends without having the real heart behind it anymore.

[@GabePuratekuta]

I remember this episode being so cool when it came out. The intro for the flash was crazy. Moments like him running on water and speeding away at the end were great.

Was he the Flash though? I ask because Barry Allen and Wally West are certainly the Flash, but Bart is Impulse which is what they call him in later episodes.

[@ShadowBend]

@@Maikigai I think Kyle kind of touches on that in this pod, that they went the impulse naming route because of a possible Flash series and maybe other legal stuff. You could be right based on the names.

@GabePuratekuta I know. I did also grow up on the Justice League show with Rosey playing Wally, Aka Flash

[@Kings_Gambit]

Season 4 is the first season of the show where there is an overarching season-long plot. The stones, the map, China, the Teagues, all related. I suspect they didn't have the whole thing fleshed out at the start, but when Jason's mother appears, it soon explains Jason, the tattoo, the stones and so on. Hope you guys get Jensen Ackles on the show. I do wish Kyle had reprised his role a few times over the years. It was fun to introduce a new hero to the mix and expand the world with other DC characters. They bring so much to the world-building aspect of the show. Transference is my favourite episode of the show I reckon, looking forward to that rewatch!

Love this episode! It was great seeing another future JLA member and the first time Clark meets someone else with powers that isn't a meteor freak. Plus I love the iconic race scene at the end where Clark is amazed that someone is actually faster than him. Some version of a Superman/Supergirl vs Flash/Impulse race has appeared in pretty much every show or movie that has those characters and its always so fun to watch. This was such an important step for Smallville, the beginning of expanding the world outside of just Superman characters. We got to feel that it was part of the wider DC universe of characters and it was so fun seeing these characters pop up and reappear in future seasons. It was great to hear from Kyle too!

[@NV_Wolf_1998]

I love the episode for many reasons, one being that it seems to be the first time Clark encounters someone with powers that didn't come from the meteor rocks (Kryptonite). So, this introduces the notion, for the first time in this series, that people who have powers don't always come from Kryptonite. Plus, you have someone showing up with superspeed (one of my all-time favorite superpowers, alongside Flying), like Clark, and for the first time Clark is really able to hang out with someone (who has a power like his) and not worry about them turning crazy or about keeping his secret. I also really like the ending with both of them running down a road with their superspeed, having fun. And this scene is also great because Bart shows Clark just how fast he is truly is. You have Clark in that scene already struggling to keep up with him, then Bart shows Clark just how good he is by turning around and running backwards, then finally (my favorite part) you see Bart super speed away, while they're already running at super speed. And this leaves Clark in disbelieve (that someone could be that fast) before he smiles, probably thinking how he has made a cool and great friend (this is my favorite scene in this episode, and maybe the entire series, but I have to think about that). And this made me come up with a theory about Clark and other people with powers from kryptonite (the meteor infected, also known as meteor freaks). We know that Clark blamed himself for the death of Lana's parents because they died in the meteor shower (which he arrived with in his ship), and this guilt probably increased when he discovered the meteors were remanences of his home planet Krypton (of course Clark is not responsible, but that is how he felt). So, it's logical to assume he might feel the same way about anyone that got abilities from the kryptonite, and any deaths that occurred by these people. So, maybe part of the reason Clark is able to have fun, and hang out with, Bart is because he knows Bart got his abilities from a different source, and not the kryptonite (but that is just my theory).

Like the flash running on water and you see Clark is trying his best and Bart is just smiling while he's smoking him! And the race in the end omg...that scene has meant so many things to me, giving me many different experiences of joy, crying, and its just so cool! 🌹 🌹 🌹 easy.

I’ve just discovered this podcast! I’ve been rewatching Smallville w/my hubby who hasn’t seen it. We just watched Visage so we’re in Season 2. I’ll have to backtrack and hear your thoughts on that one too. 👍🏼😊

The scene where clark saves impulse is one of my favorite scenes in smallville. We sart seeing a lot of change in how clark reacts and deals with his powers. And its the first time clark is just absolutely fed up and doesn't give a f---. Its just a fun scene. He turns to that one guy and he's like.. you don't want to be here after tossing a guy like 10ft in the ar or more. And hes like... you know what... your right... bye see ya! 😂😂😂
