    It's beyond hilarious that neither Tom nor Michael had any idea what the octagonal keys that fans had them sign referenced. Especially since the damn thing is such an important plot device for the show the following 3 seasons. Really highlights the difference between what stands out in the minds of people watching the show, compared to the cast helping to create the show.

    I love the patron’s theory about Lana drawing people to her, because every meteor freak and psycho in the tri-county area makes a beeline straight for her.
    Also, Jonathan’s continual mistrust of Lex does add to his journey to villainy. The writers do a great job of chipping away at his goodness, be it from Clark’s gaslighting, Jonathan’s seemingly irrational mistrust and Lionel’s machinations (and eventual preference for Clark).
    Thanks, guys!

    Thank you, Michael, for saying exactly what I've been saying about Lex for most of my life (yes, I was young when Smallville came out 😅)!
    100% Lex's downfall was in large part contributed to by his father's shadow (not to mention his father himself). Lex was so mistreated by so many people way back before it was warranted, and I definitely think Jonathan Kent played a decent part in that too (from several conversations, not just the one). It was mostly a self-fulfilling prophecy on the part of Lex's cynics. He was the victim that never got saved, as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, thanks for another enjoyable podcast episode, guys. I can't wait to see what's planned for the finale. (Get well soon, Ryan!)

  • @Chrispy07

    Chloe was definitely in shock when Clark unburied her, and in absolutely no condition to question the circumstances surrounding her being saved. There's actually quite a few times that both her and Lana both come very close to uncovering Clark's secret, but his saving grace is their confusion and shock. Even if she recalled later the circumstances surrounding her rescue, she would most likely chalk up any irregularities to her being in shock, or misremembering things because she was in shock. If there's one thing you can always count on Chloe to be, it's pretty logical.

    One good thing I will say about having the longer 20+ episode seasons is that it gives the audience more time to spend with the characters and get to know them... The length lets you build a bond with the existing characters, especially if they are written consistently. Sometimes you don't really get to have that with the newer 8-10 episode streaming shows these days. I think its why so many people are still fond of Smallville. The amount of time we spent with the characters is something that is tough to replicate elsewhere.

    i think the reason Johnathan Kent was so up in arms about lex excavating in that field is because Kent knows lionel help them push Clarks adoption through. though lex and Clark are unaware of that information at this point in the timeline. Jonathan doesnt want Lex and LIonel connecting the dots about the "found child in the field's" adoption and the spaceship. Personally im glad they rescued the girls by the end of the episode and didnt drag it out over several episodes. i enjoyed the clairvoyance storyline.🌹🌹I really liked how Clark punched thru the ground and drags chloe out of the ground coffin and all. Chloe was probably too grateful to be rescued she didnt bother to wonder how Clark did it.

    Also, Chloe's cousin that's mentioned is Lois! Even though we don't know that yet, Lois (and Lucy) is the only cousin Chloe ever mentions so we can assume it's her. She actually gets indirectly referenced as Chloe's cousin in every season prior to her introduction in season 4.

So being outright rejected by Jonathan hurt him more than just the simple lines would imply.

I think "Obscura" was a solid episode the story was moving forward, it was entertaining and interesting. I gotta say poor Lana and Chloe all the traumatic and near death experiences they had on the show is INSANE and at such a young age! Rewatching the show as an adult make me realize that these 2 needed therapy after all they been through especially Lana who saw her parents get killed in front of her then become the FOTW favorite target 😪

    I can’t express how happy i am listening to you two, it’s so fun to see what you guys think of the episodes. For Example how lex always tried fighting the bad and Clark definitely helped him with the friendship, but then lost Clark and his mom long ago, has a horrible father. I feel sorry for him honestly he deserved better. For the title I gotta say I am team Chlark all the way haha but Lana and Clark is amazing as well but he has this whole real friendship connection with Chloe, while Lana is always just a crush.

    In some ways, Johnathan Kent had a hand in turning Lex into the evil lex we come to know. He's a great Dad but often a jerk to Lex for no reason. I love that the story is so nuanced- lex is intelligent and has a curiosity for the unexplained things that have happened in his life. Unfortunately, Jonathan's mistrust of Lex and protectiveness for his son cause the Kent family to constantly gaslight Lex. I'd probably turn into a villain too if my closest friend constantly made me question my reality and their family constantly questioned my character despite trying to prove myself. In many ways, Lex and Chloe are not so different - Lex is only seen as dangerous because he has the resources to look into these mysterious occurrences.

And Lex’s thirst to understand the meaning of the meteorits shower , the spaceship with the " special object ", doesn’t mean for me any dark intention from him at this moment and you are all right in saying that the episode encouragés us even more to know the rest of the show.

    This rewatch of Smallville and the Charmed rewatch are my favourite parts of the week! I really hope we get through the full series for both. There's so much more I think you guys will learn like the octagonal disk being the spaceship key hahah! Season 2 is going to be so fun with the introduction of more powers, and more character development! Can't wait to see the finale! I can't believe we're already there. Btw, I think the 22 to 24 episodes gives the audience more time to get to know and remember the characters, especially the smaller ones, than short seasons. That plus the really long gap between seasons these days makes me completely forget the story and the point of me watching that show. I often forget what I was following and just miss out on quite a few. I prefer my older favourites where the characters get time to grow in front of my eyes. I'd give this a 1.5 Rose for the scenes between Chloe and Clark, Martha, Jonathan and Clark, Clark and Lana, and Jonathan and Lex. If only Jonathan had trusted Lex more over the years and sooner then Lex would've maybe felt less alone and not turned evil. It was the distrust that excluded him and then Lionel just completely messing him up.

    I always really liked the explosion scene at the beginning, I thought it looked great and still holds up :) Another thing I noticed for the entire season, besides the previous episode, Clark has not expressed any romantic interest in Chloe. He's always been after Lana and consulting her about her relationship with Whitney. But all of a sudden Lana's the one who's after Clark and is the one consulting him about his relationship with Chloe, even though Whitney is still in the picture.

    @37:50 I'm not sure if it's been explicitly mentioned in the show yet, but Clark is as strong or weak as he wants himself to be. An example would be he can't fly because he put that limitation on himself. In the comics he even states he eats because that's what humans do. He has mental barriers that stop him going too far. So even if he did something out of frustration, it wouldn't destroy the tractor because he has that limit set. So I HOPE going forward the guy that played Clark Kent won't question why he isn't walking around putting holes in the ground when he walks anymore or something similar.
