Smallville Sacrifice - Zod and Faora

[@AmeenAhmed1105]

It is pretty gut-wrenching to hear the unborn's heartbeat slow to a complete stop...

[@iwiwwh2002]

It's also funny how davis bloome is there aka doomsday

[@joshthaller4754]

Faora's choice and actions allowed for the Kandorians to see Zod as a true Tyrant, thus saving her people and Earth

[@ranel61390]

No matter how many times I watch this scene, it always gets me! I love love live Zod

[@luisclaudio3576]

Best zod

[@thegorgeousgeeks]

I think Callum Blue is the best Zod, but I've got to watch Superman 2 again to be sure. BUT this was my favorite Zod scene. I loved Callum and his accent is to die for! *swoon*

[@Drifterwayne1967]

Nah Michael Shannon is the best Zod

[@adamtajyar]

⁠@@Drifterwayne1967Michael Shannon was a shit 💩 Zod. Callum Blue was a good Zod, minus the fact that he always spoke like had shit in his mouth

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

He'll always be remembered in Dead Like Me

[@Dr._GroovyDude]

Callum and Michael Shannon are the two best versions. Really no contest. Terrance's performance was good, but his character was written very cartoony. More laughable than threatening. Callum and Michael were very threatening in the role and just had a sort of presence that just hasn't been matched since.

[@OmniversePosting]

Zod be like: I AM GENERAL ZOD. I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!

[@Dagenspear]

Love Callum Blue as Zod. Awesomest answer to no more Lex. EVER.

[@JayD965]

Should had more scenes with Zod and Faora in order for this to mean more. Instead for some reason they paired Zod up with Tess.

[@sweetlady31erin]

like lex killing his father in descent this could be the moment where zod's past the point of redemption.

[@brendonwife]

This is arguably the most disturbing scene in the series. There aren't many moments as much sad and dramatic in Smallville. Anyway, there should have been more Zod/Faora scenes before this shocker, and more depth to their relationship, but shamefully, almost all of it is off-screen. Solid acting from both, also, you can really see how the characters feel. I think Faora stood still and chose death because she didn't want to have her baby corrupted by his father in the future, after discovering the truth about Zod, nor to give him a heir - otherwise she would have told him to spare them, and/or shown him the flower; instead, as mentioned, she sacrifices their lives. Later, the master of manipulation uses her death to win back the loyalty of his soldiers. I feel so sorry for her, although this episode was needed for Zod's final development as a super villain. Still one of the best and most layered characters, always interesting to watch, hateful yet charming!

[@kellybestmovie]

a great and dramatic moment ,Zod understand that nobody trust him ,even Faora ! its so sad and the beginning of the End... I miss Zod in Season 10 !!!

[@luisclaudio3576]

Is the clone of Faora?

[@nivodeus]

It was a flower which in Kandorian's culture used for the ritual of women's pregnancy..Zod just killed his own son/daughter..

[@randominity15]

Mason, Mason, Mason. :) God, Callum Blue has such range as an actor. It's phenomenal. He's a drugged up (but endearing) screwball in Dead Like Me, a proper courtier in The Tudors, a gentlemanly prince in Princess Diaries 2, and then he goes and plays the amazingingly evil Zod.

[@williamhalpin]

His eyes convey it very well, When the person you trust more than anything betrays you and doesn't show remorse

[@CarlosdeSouzaCosta]

Lol these two never even interact in the show this pregnant thing and zod being all hurt by the betrayal does not convey the audience.

[@anadraven7438]

God why is Callem Blue perfect in no matter what he acts in?!

Love that line only I will led us to next age all we fellow Zod

[@TheBlurSilver]

@antony492 It is Faora, but remember that everyone who came out of the orb (which was seen last in season 8), were clones of their characters at a younger age. And no that is not Doomsday in her. Zod and Faora had that child here on Earth. In Doomsday's case - he was genetically engineered.

[@knightofkorbin888]

Of course the only likeable version of Faora had to die.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

clark should have given farrah his blood. would have given her a fighting chance

[@trueblue6201]

Clark did not want to give the Kandorian's power. I also do not think he saw this encounter coming. Nor did he have any real reason to give her his blood.

[@Barbaresantana]

@@trueblue6201Of course he chose human over them like Goku

[@Heartshapedbox81]

That's f'ed up not only did he kill the mother of his unborn child but also his future/past wife

[@thorhones7683]

I think it's a way of showing nobody will love him and his fate is doomed from the start.

[@anniejuran]

I love Faora and Zod but he totally became a broken record when almost every scene he was in and would say "EVERYONE WILL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD" :\

[@trueblue6201]

It literally is a defining characteristic of Zod. It is also a trait of cult leaders which Zod definitely is.

[@xyPERSON]

Sadly, Zod and Lex Luthor are very much alike. They both crave and lust for power and could care less who and what they destroy in the process. Also, they both have proven to be their own worst enemy because of their arrogance, ego, greed, jealousy, and pettiness.

[@Heartshapedbox81]

Yes, which is why i also said past & future i'm well aware it's not the actual zod who had that life til he encounters himself while trapped in the PZ & that she doesn't remember anything past when her blood was taken, but they are still the same entities.

[@kevind3619]

This is reminiscent of Anakin choking Padme in Revenge of the Sith.

[@SeñorBichón]

1:45 - 2:00 Epic!!!! *-*

[@Dagenspear]

@swastikausa One can assume that she was harmed in battle in a way that prevented child rearing sometime after their blood was taken.

[@ronaldkishna8319]

Most obnoxious crime against humanity from zod the psycho zot!

[@adamtajyar]

He could’ve literally saved her and given her powers if he just gave her some of his blood. She would’ve gotten superpowers and the kid would still be alive.

[@mondo1682]

Poor Zod

[@vunobi]

Faora's clone could've had a better life with her child more than her previous life. Sad truth is that men like Zod are cursed to revert back into their true nature. Its tragic that he had sealed his fate through killing Faora as well as his unborn child that he had always wanted.

[@CharlieRies-Coward]

Only I will led us to next age all will follow ZOD

[@samsamaroo8453]

[@immortalcelsius]

In the original comic Faora is a man hater and Zod is actually afraid of her as well. She is a master of martial arts and a man killer.

[@Bolt12144]

i know he is a being of pure evil but i can't help but feel sorry him in this scene

[@romanza21]

+Bolt Mum reminds me of when Lana broke up with Lex, she got tired of his bullshit too (even though Foara is historically a villain in the comics and Lana wasn't exactly an angel either).

[@jackiemorgan6628]

@@romanza21 the parallels of lex and zod are interesting, they both carry the same level of evil in different ways. It’s crazy. I still think I like the lex/Clark duality better.

[@Scandinavian2]

What was that in her hand??

[@Stynd]

If Doomsday be insde of her but could by a diferent Doomsday !!!

[@antony492]

Is this the same faora who is the mother of Doomsday? So is that a copy of Doomsday in her?

[@jackiemorgan6628]

Essentially yes. Except Doomsday was experimented on as a baby they made him a creature that can adapt to survive resulting in Davis blooms doomsday. This baby would have been a normal kryptonian davis (with a different name since Davis was his human name)

[@jackiemorgan6628]

Zod created Doomsday to kill Jor-El but didn’t know it was Kal-el that was on earth because he didn’t know jor el had a son. So clark (kale el) was left to defeat him

[@alastairmonroe9370]

The sad thing is Faora could have prevented her death just by telling Zod he was a father. I get he's bad but she's as much to blame for what happened as Zod is she put her own ideals before her child's life which is pretty messed up. In my opinion Zod didn't kill his child Faora did.

[@friedfrog5447]

yeah, blame her for her own murder, just as messed up as he is

[@faster_xx]

How was it her fault she died because she didn’t say anything how about if Zod wasn’t so eagle of being a leader he could have find out she was pregnant just like Clark did without her telling him she was pregnant.

[@SMTS1159]

Alastair Monroe I think she meant to when she said she understood what sacrifice was

[@chaseroberts3111]

Your 100% correct about the direction of the show. the first few seasons were great, but then got progressively worse., Til they became a chore to watch

[@Scoonertuna]

@Verginator18 Plus, Zod had super powers and she didn't.

[@samiyakarim1998]

@Mizelei1991 can't agree more

[@swastikausa]

but i thought faora and zod couldnt concieve and thats why they created doomsday.

[@breezy3392]

These are clones of the originals. New bodies, so...

[@chaseroberts3111]

this acter is a joke, I didn't know that the British empire colonized krypton

[@jackiemorgan6628]

If you can recall; in the original Superman movies and newer ones too I believe, they had British accents. Jor-el, zod, the council so it’s just something the creators used most likely to have a more intellectual sounding race of people. It’s weird that only some of them have accents tho

[@chaseroberts3111]

@@jackiemorgan6628 his accent didn't bother me, it was the actor himself he was as scary as a puppy

[@jackiemorgan6628]

@@chaseroberts3111 I don’t believe he’s supposed to be scary. He’s more evil in the sense that he has bad intentions and his heart doesn’t lay the same as Clark’s or anyone else on Clark’s side. He might not be super scary but his actions in the show are proven to make him dark inside but they gave him emotion still which makes a good antagonist. I personally didn’t care for the later seasons as much but I did think callum blue was pretty good.
