Smallville s08e13 [Episode Review]



Holy SH$% … !!! What an amazing episode that was. Oh my God!

The show starts with Lana in a warehouse with a couple of scientists, who have her in a chamber and set it on fire. For the better part of the episode Clark and Loey believe that Lana has been kidnapped and try whatever they can to try and find her. During this spree Clark comes across Tess Murser, the evil witch turned comrade, which leads to a military trainer who explains how Lana trained to let go.

Mid way Clark comes across Lana’s secret safe which has a hard disk, from which they discover that Lana hasn’t really been kidnapped but is going through with the Project Promethius experiment by choice.

Next scene: Tess Murser enters the warehouse where the experiment is taking place and tries to destroy the experiment with Lana still in the chamber, during which in a hustle she fires a shot which takes down the system. She next shoots the scientist working on it, Clark zips in looking at what’s happened but before he can stop the bullet, Lana breaks out of the chamber and super speed and stops the bullet.

Apparently the experiment was to give the specimen super human capabilities. It worked, for now.

Clark continues to search for Lana when his super hearing picks Lana’s voice calling him. They meet on the roof of The Daily Planet where from what I can gather, they are back together but this time with a twist. This time Lana is different with the worry that Lana had held onto of being a distraction to Clark, now gone. The scene ends with them kissing.

This is what I hate about comic adaptations, you know how the story is going to play out. So according to the papers, bare with my historic memory, Lana and Clark don’t end up together. So what happens next week is yet to be seen. I am really curious as to how they pick the next episode up.

Looks like the writers heard us. I honestly am sick of Smallville’s story trend of boring below par season fillers they call episodes. They have amazing season premiers and finale’s but the middle part is what ticks me off. Not with this episode it didn’t.

Eagerly waiting for next week, so until then
Eddy out!
