    It just wouldn’t be right wrapping up this season without him. The mane, the myth, and the legend John Glover, aka Lionel Luthor, joins Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as we officially wrap up our rewatch of Season 1 of Smallville and the finale episode Tempest. It was a treat talking to Glover. He remembered what it was like going from a guest star to a regular, how deep the theme of family was in the show, and his true opinion on the character of Lionel Luthor. The guys close the episode by discussing some of the fan voted ‘best of’ moments from Season 1. Any nominations and/ or selections surprise you?

    When John Glover joined the show it became a master class in acting for sure in Smallville. It felt like a serialized storytelling with superhero backdrop. Glover's Lionel Luthor brought a sense of human psychology into the storyline when he became a series regular from season 2 all the way through season 7.

      Ditto!! I started Smallville at start of S3 from non stop positive reviews even tho I was cynical thinking 90210 teen drama, but catching up binging into S3 I was amazed as the last show I wanted to fan follow and get into was Star Trek DS9 which showed the Trek franchise how to properly create characters make realistic connective stories and provide organic feelings for viewers. I as a fan feel it got reduced once Lex & Lionel left and then leaned into comicbook structure than theater into S9-10. btw Ima a Witwer fangirl because of how well they pulled off S8 Doomsday as a Bill Bixby/Hulk story.

    I love how Tom remembers specific moments where he learned something from another person. Not all young actors are so open and ready to learn, much less able to recognize specific lessons they've learned from a certain person at a certain moment. I just love that he still remembers those and brings them up frequently.

    I think my favorite seasons of Lionel Luthor were seasons 4 through 6, because you really see him go from "I need to make my son strong and ruthless, like me" to "what have I done? My son is just like me."
    It's great to see an actor perform those subtle changes of character over a long period of time.

    I love how self aware John Glover is. Such an accomplished and experienced actor, but he understands how important everything and everyone else is in making the product. I also like how matter-of-fact John Glover is in a way that advanced age makes a person. You obviously think about mortality but he is just so real about it.
    Also. "Lion -el" does point to his character being synonymous with having a mane of power. His hair is like the biblical Samson. He shows it off, rubs it in Lex's face (metaphorically), and does go through some things that reflect in his look.

He's a hoot. I did a video chat with him recently and he's always funny and witty. I was happy to see you guys give Tempest some love with the roses. I give it 3 Roses, right up there with the pilot. Can't wait for season 2. Any idea when that will be available to watch? Love you guys.

    So lovely to see John Glover on the show. Lionel was such a fascinating character and the show definitely wouldn't have been the same without him. His relationship with Lex, his relationship with Clark and how he influenced both to be who they would become was so incredible. How he was so harsh on Lex and essentially caused all of his bad traits and turned him into a monster (and as we saw from the mirror universe in S10 he would have done the same with Clark had he raised him). But then Clark had a positive influence on him and led to him actually having a redemption and striving to do the right thing. It was so fascinating how he saw Clark as "a man you'd be proud to call a son" and he constantly called him "son" even in front of Lex which further infuriated Lex and caused his downfall. But only when Lionel had redeemed himself did he realise what he'd done to Lex and the monster he'd created. His death really symbolises everything he'd become. He died protecting Clark's secret at the hands of his son who hated him more than anything for everything he had done to him. "No one will even remember your name." Fantastic

      Clark's has a lot of other abilities as well such as he doesn't get dirty e.g if you threw a bucket of oil over him in about hour it would slide of his body leaving him as if nothing happened
      He smell great all time, only beings with heightened sense of smell can detect it. Lana in Smallville when she was a vampire commented on how amazing he smelt.
      He very intelligent - Kara in Smallville learned how to hack after watching Jimmy do it once
      He has a photographic memory
      He can see the electromagnetic spectrum, he once tracked radio waves across a city (
      He can see in dark
      He has telescopic and microscopic vision and can see an atom
      He learned a Kryptonian martial arts called Torquasm Rao and Torquasm Vo which gave him incredible mental defence and the ability to see someone's soul. Later he developed the ability to see in four dimension.

      Yes, there are a few of Clark's powers that he never used or he used one time and never used again. The first is his telescopic and microscopic vision; he never developed that, or they never showed it. He mentioned it once in season 9 or 10 when he told Chloe he could see fifty miles in any direction.
      The second is his intelligence; Clark is super bright and can learn anything in minutes, if not seconds. They started with his brilliance in the early season but never progressed further. Below is a clip of Clark doing a long calculation in a fraction of a second.

      Smallville is the one that started everything The Flash, Green Arrow, and the Arrowverse, and I have nothing but love for the show, but if I could make one criticism is that they never explored his intelligence. He is much smarter than Chloe. His intelligence is greater than any human who has ever lived by light years, but you wouldn't know it if you watched Smallville since he leaves everything to Chloe. He once told Kara back in season 7 that Chloe was more intelligent than he and Kara combined lol. Kara hacked into a government organization after she saw Jimmy do it once.

    John Glover is a brilliant actor who made the character Lionel what it was...it would be hard to see anyone else in that roll. He brought something that can't be taught or coached, for the roll. As a result, it brought the character Lex along and gave even more depth.

    A great episode to finish off season 1. Smallville fans are so lucky/grateful to have John Glover as our Lionel Luthor (of course that goes for pretty much the entire Smallville cast).
    Still hoping that we see Tom get some lead host duties for season 2 (I'm obviously biased as Superman has been my favourite superhero since I was a kid, but didn't fully appreciate the character or mythology until I watched Smallville).
    Looks like Tom and Michael are starting to realise how much fans love both Ryan's character and the episodes he's in.
    Cant wait for season 2's guests and all the behind the scenes stories.

    I am so glad that Whitney's final scene with Clark was not taken out because it shows how Clark's orbit affects those around him. He brings out the goodness in people or those around them and inspires them to improve. This has been shown many times throughout the series Whitney the self-centered bully, Lionel Luthor, Lex (without Clark, Lex would have embraced his darkness long ago. When Lex lost his friendship with Clark he started moving towards the dark side until it led to his father's demise at his hand cementing his darkside forever) Green Arrow (when he was possessed by Darkseid darkness it was Clark that lifted the darkness from him just by talking to him), something that was referred to as impossible by Granny Goodness in which Oliver Queen replied that Clark could do the impossible; this is why Darkseid was so afraid of him and wanted him dead because Clark bring home to even the darkess souls.

    • @theguest6127
      @theguest6127 Рік тому +2

      I agree the main power of a hero is to inspire people to be better, and Clark has inspired so many people to change their ways to be better than what they are
      In season 4, Bart Allen, also known as the Flash, stole things from people and big corporations because he knew that insurance wouldn't charge the person or corporation. Clark convinced him it wasn't right even though no one got hurt. Bart eventually came to see the era on his way and gave back a painting he stole from Lex worth millions. He ultimately became a hero.
      In season 5, Arthur Curry thought that the ends justify the means. He was an eco-warrior who would blow up empty corporation buildings if he felt they endangered marine life. Clark convinced him they were always another way, and he, too inspired by Clark, became a hero.
      Season 5: Clark meets a woman called Andrea Rojas, who was stabbed in the heart and given a heart transplant from a meteor-infested heart, giving her superpowers. She used those powers to go on an act of revenge to avenge the man who stabbed her in the heart and killed her mother. Clark tried telling her that revenge wasn't the answer, but she didn't listen and murdered the man who killed her mom. Her redemption is not shown in Smallville's primary season, but it is shown in the Chloe Chronicles, where she regrets her actions and wishes that she had listened to Clark; she even stops a group of rogue metahumans from killing Lex and tells Chloe that Clark was right because revenge didn't bring happiness and vowed to use her powers to catch criminals instead.
      However, before Lionel found redemption, he brought out the worse in people. He often turned good people into murderers. The sheriff is a good example when he tried to kill someone because Lionel had dirt on him.

    In addition to a saved/died count, they should start a KO count. Lex getting a concussion every week must have contributed to his instability in later seasons. Also great to hear from Glover.
