Review: Smallville 9x03 Rabid
:: Before we start I have to warn you, there may not be many caps in this review because ugly zombies are ugly. Also, it took me a while to wrap my mind around the episode, too many things happened that I think I need to watch the episode a couple of times to get them right. So, if you read any none sense in this post (more than usual, that's it) just understand that the amazing amount of Clois this show has is interfering with my brain work, i'm *this* close to fall into a Clois induced coma, I don't know if I'll make it 'till Pandora. That being said, I'll leave you with my thoughts on "Rabid"
First shot and I think "God, Tom has lovely eyes"... then I thought "that's Tom, right?" and two seconds later the episode answered me and I thought: "yes, it's Tom, you've been watching this show for 9 seasons, Tom's face is on every damn poster, advertising and promo of this show since 2001...you should know his eyes by now". By the time my lecture to myself ends Clark's reaching for his phone
So, Clark's alone at the Watchtower, there's a needle with what looks like liquid kryptonite or Corben's rejects dripping from the tip and Clark looks kind of sick (poor baby, can I give you a hug?)
I saw the message and I thought of Lois, alright, so I was awfully spoiled and I saw the picture of zombiefied Lois a couple of days ago (it scared the daylights out of me, btw) so the guessing part here wasn't that hard, although it could have been Tess, but nobody cares about Tess anymore, and the look on Clark's face made it clear it was Lois.
Clark leaves the Watchtower and the scene looks like 45 days later (I hated that movie.. actually, I hate zombies they freak me out and make me nervous... unless it's Shawn of the Dead, that one was funny)
What song is the one Clark listens too? that's not Whitesnake, right? anyway, he knows where she is and he goes after her.
She's at the Planet, playing with the copy machine and drooling. Let's not forget that Zombies are disgusting creatures and eat brains, except that zombie!Lois has a lovely hair and wonderful boots, coolest zombie ever!! still, her teeths are black and she was drooling a disgusting thing... *pointsatthepic* CREEPY!! I actually jumped when she turned around.
Credits (somebody saaaaave me...)
Credit cap of today: Clark as the Blur looking all mighty from the top of a building.
They hadn't done that "12 hours earlier" thingy for a while now (since Bride, right?), there's always one of this episodes in a season.
Lois enters the bullpen and Clark can't keep his eyes off of her *sigh* alright, maybe that's not the reason he's looking at her, the second she walks in he turns off all of his cool spy stuff to listen to the police scans.
And our lovely Clois get their lovely conversation in this lovely show. LOVELY. Just look at them!
Lois: you can put away the pepper spray Smallville, it's only me
Clark: I wasn't hidding
We all asume she's waiting for the Blur to call and Clark knows it
Lois: looks another thrilling friday night, just you and me flying the red eye on this paper plane. Almost like you never left the cockpit
Clark: It's nice to have my copilot here.
*sigh* they are so good at flirting
Clark: what's with the bag?
Lois: all nighter survival kit. Comfrot food, Comfort footwear (lol) and comfort music. Chicken soup for my soul.
Clark: Everything okay? You just seem a little off
Lois: The only thing i'm off is a certain blurry butt-kicker's to-do list. A little over a week, and not so much as a, "sorry, i've been busy saving the world, but got to run."
Clark: I didn't realize the two of you were actually seeing each other now.
Lois: At this point, it's not really seeing so much as still looking, so much as still looking, but a girl's got to hope.
One thing that has always amused me from the Superman/Lois/Clark triangle is when Clark gets jealous of Superman, it makes absolutely no sense because it's him, but he still gets jealous anyway. Our Clarkie boy is about to get there with the Blur. FUNNY!!
Lois: Okay, get your engines going. Looks like there's a major fire on east brunswick.
Clark: If we're gonna be here all night, i'll get some coffee.
Lois: That's what i love about you, Smallville... i say "fire," you say "food." I'll take mine black.
Lois: That was quick. Do you smell smoke?
Clark: No
I was laughing my ass off with Clark's face, this whole scene was really funny. I love that Clark's not giving her stupid excuses like "I have to return a video" or "I have to pick up my dry cleaning", he goes to save the day and fools her with coffee, that's my boy using his brain cells right there.
Lois: The fire just got put out... by the Blur. He is so amazing. Here you and i are just having a coffee while he's out squelching five-alarm fires in three seconds flat.
Clark: Two seconds. Not that anyone's counting.
Lois: Yeah
Clark's such a boy, he wants to impress her with his speed, haha.
Clark: There's a high-speed motorcycle chase out near the bypass.
Lois: At least somebody's getting a little action tonight. Clark, this is ice-cold. Never mind. I'll get it myself.
There he goes, using his brain again. :D and he's off to save the day once again! We can't deny the guy has guts though, messing with Lois' coffee like that ;)
And Vero screams because if there's something she likes almost as much as Ollie shirtless is Ollie on a motocycle wearing leather. HE IS SO DAMN FINE!
I had been waiting for the conversation between this two guys, things were so screw up last season that I want to see how they are going to fix it (if they fix it at all).
Clark: i know that the loss of jimmy affected us both
Oliver: I guess God's got a sick sense of humor. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking your name in vain.
He's an asshole. What was that Lois called him in "Savior"? an unsufferable jackass, that's what he is. Hot as a handmade adonis, but a jackass none the less
Oliver: Who are you? What's all this? What's the "s" stand for? What is that, "superstar"?
"Superstar"? come on, you'll soon run out of words to put next to "super" to call Clark, call him SUPERMAN already!! it's not hard, he's a man who's super.. he's a SUPERMAN, repeat it with me: Superman. It's not that difficult! come on Lois, give the man the damn name already!
What is up with Oliver calling Clark God and Jesus and the second coming... I want to slap him and not in a sexy way!! well, I want to slap him in a sexy way too, but right now I'm just mad at him.
Next scene we have Tess, she's looking at this cool screen thing that I don't know what it is but I know I want, with the maps of where the kryptonians symbols are, and we learn that uncle El (whoever he is) landed in Turkey. My question here is, the kandorians have been on earth for a while now, now we have them running around the World trying to get their powers back, how haven't they seen the S symbol painted all over the city? Clark's managed to put that symbol on the cover of every single news paper, and if they saw it then they must know someone from the house of El is on Earth, why aren't they looking for him? do they know of the existence of Clark? what will they do when they find out?
Anyway, let's go back to Tess.
Oh, here's another thing I was thinking, I saw Cassidy Freeman at Comic Con (well, I didn't see her, I saw the videos, I'm all the way in Southamerica, San Diego is a bit far away) and she's like the definition of sweetness yet when she plays Tess she even has a bitch face, how does she do that?
So Tess still has people looking for the kryptonians. When she says "The longer it takes for us to locate these kryptonians, the more they'll blend in and disappear" I was reminded of the Superman comic books and how there's an awful persecution against kryptonians on earth now.
And now comes the fugly zombies whom I'm not going to cap because they freak me out, but believe me, they are fugly, disgusting and eat people. Although I'm pretty sure that thing that bited Tess wanted to be a vampire and not a zombie.
When Tess run into the desk room I wondered what happened to Lex's panic room, i would have run right into that if there's a zombie attack.
Tess managed to kick some undead asses before the scene ended, I say good for her and girlpower, at least she didn't go without a fight.
Clark: that doesn't make any sense. Tess is not the nervous-breakdown type.
Lois: But she is the lying, cheating, scheming type. You keep enough secrets, they start to back up on your brain. Seriously, alien orbs? Now she's rambling about zombies? It all adds up to "c" for "crazy."
Clark: Just trust me. There's got to be more to the story than that.
Lois: I respect how quickly you managed to get the lowdown on little miss lithium's mental break but sometimes you can be a little gullible.
Clark: Really? Why don't you call your new best friend and get him to weigh in on it?
Lois: I'm not gonna cry wolf just to get a pity call from studly do-right.
Clark: Something tells me he'd side with me on this one, anyway
Lois: Why, because you have so much in common?
Other than commenting on how their banter is always so cute and refreshing I wondered why were they there, I mean neither of them have a good relationship with Tess, Lois even kicked her ass once, why would they be called to the hospital? i don't think they got the story, if the C.E.O. of LuthorCorp is loosing it, I don't think the newspaper they own would want to print a story on it, much less would give it to two reporters who are not the best yet. I guess this is just for the porpuse of the story, but I just wondered.
Lois: Tess
Clark: come on, Lois. At least wait till she's awake to get your comment.
Lois: Don't you want to find out what made Cruella snap? Tess, what happened to you? Care to comment?
Zombie!Tess looks like Linda Blair's big sister, the Exorcist reject. And it's not a friday night if Lois is not thrown across a room, at least this time she didn't hit her head. Must have been really cathartic to get paid just to scream your guts out
What is Chloe doing now? still stalking superheroes?
So, Clark takes a sample of Tess' blood to "Smarty and Smarter" to figure out what the hell is happening to Tess. I like Dr. Hamilton, but his amount of knowladge kind of freaks me out.
Clark blurs out of the watchtower with Smarter, leaving Smarty on her own and we get a close up at his hear, which is something we hadn't seen in a while, and I'm still thankful we don't have to see inside it anymore. We find out, from the talk between Dr Hamilton and that other doctor that looks awfully familiar that the virus is airborne and that they are going to quarentine the hospital and the Daily Planet, and I got to the same conclusion Clark did: LOIS! because really, who cares if the whole city could be infected by the virus right now, Lois is at the Daily Planet!
You can't say Lois Lane's life is boring, she fights kryptonians assassins one week, a weirdo with meteor rock heart the other and then zombies. She kicks major undead and supernatural asses
Lois and Clark kick ass together, and then Lois gets beaten on the leg. There should be some sort of rule: you do not fight zombies wearing skirts, you don't see the girls from resident evil killing zombies on mini skirts, right?
Clark: are you okay?
Lois: that was close
Clark: you're hurt
Lois: I'm okay
Clark: let's get you some place safe
*sigh* I don't have much to say about this scene, except that I know Clois stole my heart away a while ago and I don't think I'll be getting it back.
Shirtless!Ollie!! it had been too long since I last saw you it's nice to have you back
Can't say I care much about that bitch going through his wallet or his picture of Lois. Too late budy, she's in love with someone else.
Wait, and this is not just regular shirtless!Ollie, this is shirtless and sweaty Ollie. YUM!
Somebody's been having their own Ollie reality show. I hate reality shows but I would watch that one, so the police woman tells him something about youtube and pamela anderson, Ollie laughs it off and she tells him not to call or email, and he says he never does. I'm sure she wasn't expecting an everlasting relationship with a random guy she picked up from the streets speeding on his ducati. Anyway, she slaps him and Oliver says "Mercy" because she's the evil girl from the show, she does all the evil stuff like spying on hot single guys. Somehow I'm not sure that was Tess, simply because he's not kryptonian.
Smarty keeps trying to decipher the virus and Smarter tells her what we already knew about the episode from the description (except from the part where Zod is behind it all and Clark's blood is the cure) and that the enzyme looks like something he saw on Davis Bloome's blood. Smarty gets an idea.
I think Clark tearing up his shirt is one of the sexiest things I've seen in Smallville. Seriously. And you could feel the tension and the feelings between those two just by the way they were looking at each other. How do they do this? I know they are actors and all, but they've been working together for 5 years, you believed them at first when they didn't like each other, and those little teasing looks they kept giving each other, but now... this looks are completly differet, they are filled with so much more that I feel like bursting into song about the beauty that is love
"seasons can change winter to spring... but I'll love you, until the end of time" - Okay, I swear that is out of my system now
Lois: Do you think they've quarantined the city?
Clark: probably. They found out it was an airborne virus.
Lois: You realize that means we could both have it.
Clark: we can't think like that
Lois: I'm just saying once we go out there, we might not make it.
Clark: Lois
Lois: I'm serious. Those things are everywhere. It would just suck to go out without any... closure
is she talking about what i think she's talking?
Lois: Clark Do you have any deep, dark secrets?
Clark: do you?
Lois: Last year, when i was talking with the red-blue blur... for the first time in my life, i was doing something that mattered. And i wanted to work with him because we did such good things together. But then i started to realize that... I wasn't just doing it to save people. I was doing it for me. I just wanted to be with him.
Clark: We all get crushes. It doesn't make you a bad person.
a line from a Killers songs come to my mind, regarding Clark right now: "Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, Turning through sick lullabies..." haha.
Lois: You don't understand. I had never had this connection with someone before. Now that i have this connection, i don't want to go back to the way things were. This is embarrassing to admit. I don't want to be alone anymore.
I wonder what Clark thought of that confession, in a way her desire of not being alone anymore mirrors his own desire, and that connection she feels he's feeling it too, he told Chloe on Metallo "it's easy to talk to Lois". He's been more honest with her than ever whenever they talk on the phone and probably he knows this is the real thing, but how weird it has to be to hear her saying all that stuff about yourself like you're a different person. Also, I felt like hugging Lois when she said she didn't want to by alone, I can totally relate.
Clark gets called by smarty, and Ollie brust through a window. I liked that scene with the three of them talking about what's happening, gave me a comforting feeling of "the heroes are at work"
Clark leaves Lois with Oliver and she looks worried, Oliver totally gets the vibes between them and pushes the button. Clark asks him not to let her fall asleep and I think he could make a much better job at that. Oliver is all "alright, hope you get eaten by the zombies bye bye!" and Clark's like "keep her awake or I will kill you with my little finger"
Smarter didn't know Clark was kryptonian? that's new, I thought he already knew, everybody on the show knows! (except for Lois, of course)
I think Clark's aversion to have his blood taken reaches a new level. Poor thing. And wait, the description of the episode said Chloe asks for Clark's blood to save Lois... and she has no idea Lois could be a brain eater... who writes those descriptions? do they watch the episodes before doing it?
So, the smart people are ready to save the world and we go to Oliver and Lois.
He's giving her a weird look and she's breathing funny and fighting sleep. Usually I'd say "fall asleep already Lane, I want flashes!!" but not today, hell no.
So he pops more pills and continue his pity party, talking about himself and how screw up he is. How he misses her and their days together, which would be much more convincing if he were actually giving a damn about her.
Of course, Lois falls asleep, she turns into Doomsday!Lois, throws Ollie across the elevator and goes up up and away.
And we go back to Clark's beautiful eyes.
Smarty and Smarter put the antidote on the water supply which would unzombie the clean zombies, and Doctor nerdy tells today's going to rain men antidote.
Dr Hamilton: He finally met someone who was a match for his confidence. Probably no surprise that you were the one to betray him.
huh?
Dr Hamilton: May i ask why you're spying on him?
I knew she'd been hero stalking!! so she was the one behind the Ollie reality show? why?
Chloe thinks she's the heroes protector now? why? I don't think I'm liking that controling side of her so much now. I mean, she's right in a way, the leaguers are screw up and who knows what the rest are doing, I know Oliver needs a good kick on his green ass, but I don't know, maybe she's a bit obsessed with her watchtower role. You can force people to go back to being heroes if they don't want to do it anymore, just because that'll give your life a porpuse. I don't think Clark's the one who's playing God in this show.
Clark vrs Zombie!Lois:
"This is for forgetting about me when Lana showed up"
"And this is for standing me up at the coffee place"
Look at that, Clark's "fight" with zombie!Lois is better than Clark's fight with Doomsday
Clark: it's okay, you're going to be alright
And now one of the cutest moments ever. Probably my favorite Clois moment ever. Amazing how this show keeps giving us a better Clois moment each week, I thought nothing would top last week's hug in a good while, but this scene in the rain... is waaaaaay better
Clark: Lois
Lois: Clark... Clark what happened?
Clark: we made it
For a second there I thought they were going to kiss, but this hug is so full of love that is as good as a kiss for me ♥
Is it alright that I hate Oliver and want to ravish him at the same time? he looks so hot being all screw up and burning his costume.
Lol, Clark's wallet looks like mine, filled with papers from who knows when.
Ew, I think I threw up on my mouth a little. What's up with this Smallville guys and carrying pictures of their ex girlfriends in their wallets?
Did Clark Kent just move on? I think that little scene meant so much! he took Lana out of his wallet, for good, he finally let her go. Yes!! now I want to hug him even more!!
Lois: hey!
Clark: Lois... (I love the way he says her name)
Lois: I just came by to say thanks and to apologize if I tried to rip your head off or anything
Clark: you know, you have a pretty mean left hook.
Lois: I don't remember any of that. But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent
Clark: which side was that?
Lois: I'll give you a hunt. It starts with "H" and ends with "ero"
Clark: And I wasn't even wearing red or blue
Lois: you've got a long ways to go before you can do that. Still, I think we make a pretty good team
Clark: yeah, we do
Lois: you never did tell me your secret.
Clark: well...
Lois: relax Smallville...
OH.MY.GOD! maybe this is me, seeing too much into things, but Lois hitting him in the arm was her friendly thing to do, like when they decided they were secret friends. Him catching her punch could mean he doesn't want to be friends anymore? and we go back to those looks that are going to kill me pretty soon. So much meaning!! Damn it this two are sexy as hell.
Lois: keep the mystery. You need to work every last drop if it you've got
Speaking of deep meanings, I realised last season, when they had that conversation about soulmates and stuff, right after Maxima, they were at the barn, most of their important talks and teasing have been there, most of Clark's important talks have developed there, but now they are inside the house. Again, this is me seeing too much into things, but the barn is Clark's fortress of solitude, his defense against the world, when he's feeling sorry for himself he goes there, when he wants to brood, he goes there. And now he's with Lois, exchanging meaningful looks inside the house and I can't help thinking that maybe this means he's finally letting her in, he's letting her penetrate beyond his defenses because he's home with her. Yes, I'm THAT sappy...
Oh my!! now Lois' getting flashes when she's awake!! and no new flashes, I may add. Clark should have asked her what happend
Ooooh, that's why the doctor looked familiar, he was the guy with Major HotZod at the end of the episode.
I was wondering how hadn't they seen the House of El sign before?! it's all over the city. And now Zod thinks Jor-El survived is here and has power. A few seasons ago we saw that Jor-El looked like Clark, why did this kandorian guy didn't recognized Clark when he showed up with Lois at the hospital?
Now they have Clark's blood to track him down and the plot thinkens while the doctor guy loses his head.
And that's it, no deeper thoughts than the ones shared, I loved this episode, it showed important imrproves in Clois relationship and a clear picture of Oliver's stay in hell. The Kandorians still interest me, I wanna know what's going to happen once Zod faces Clark. The zombies were freaky but didn't bothered me as much as I thought they would. Once again a great episode!
See you guys next week with "Echo"
First shot and I think "God, Tom has lovely eyes"... then I thought "that's Tom, right?" and two seconds later the episode answered me and I thought: "yes, it's Tom, you've been watching this show for 9 seasons, Tom's face is on every damn poster, advertising and promo of this show since 2001...you should know his eyes by now". By the time my lecture to myself ends Clark's reaching for his phone
So, Clark's alone at the Watchtower, there's a needle with what looks like liquid kryptonite or Corben's rejects dripping from the tip and Clark looks kind of sick (poor baby, can I give you a hug?)
I saw the message and I thought of Lois, alright, so I was awfully spoiled and I saw the picture of zombiefied Lois a couple of days ago (it scared the daylights out of me, btw) so the guessing part here wasn't that hard, although it could have been Tess, but nobody cares about Tess anymore, and the look on Clark's face made it clear it was Lois.

She's at the Planet, playing with the copy machine and drooling. Let's not forget that Zombies are disgusting creatures and eat brains, except that zombie!Lois has a lovely hair and wonderful boots, coolest zombie ever!! still, her teeths are black and she was drooling a disgusting thing... *pointsatthepic* CREEPY!! I actually jumped when she turned around.

Lois: Don't you want to find out what made Cruella snap? Tess, what happened to you? Care to comment?
Zombie!Tess looks like Linda Blair's big sister, the Exorcist reject. And it's not a friday night if Lois is not thrown across a room, at least this time she didn't hit her head. Must have been really cathartic to get paid just to scream your guts out
What is Chloe doing now? still stalking superheroes?
So, Clark takes a sample of Tess' blood to "Smarty and Smarter" to figure out what the hell is happening to Tess. I like Dr. Hamilton, but his amount of knowladge kind of freaks me out.
Clark blurs out of the watchtower with Smarter, leaving Smarty on her own and we get a close up at his hear, which is something we hadn't seen in a while, and I'm still thankful we don't have to see inside it anymore. We find out, from the talk between Dr Hamilton and that other doctor that looks awfully familiar that the virus is airborne and that they are going to quarentine the hospital and the Daily Planet, and I got to the same conclusion Clark did: LOIS! because really, who cares if the whole city could be infected by the virus right now, Lois is at the Daily Planet!
You can't say Lois Lane's life is boring, she fights kryptonians assassins one week, a weirdo with meteor rock heart the other and then zombies. She kicks major undead and supernatural asses
Lois and Clark kick ass together, and then Lois gets beaten on the leg. There should be some sort of rule: you do not fight zombies wearing skirts, you don't see the girls from resident evil killing zombies on mini skirts, right?
Clark: are you okay?
Lois: that was close
Clark: you're hurt
Lois: I'm okay
Clark: let's get you some place safe
*sigh* I don't have much to say about this scene, except that I know Clois stole my heart away a while ago and I don't think I'll be getting it back.
Shirtless!Ollie!! it had been too long since I last saw you it's nice to have you back
Can't say I care much about that bitch going through his wallet or his picture of Lois. Too late budy, she's in love with someone else.
Wait, and this is not just regular shirtless!Ollie, this is shirtless and sweaty Ollie. YUM!
Somebody's been having their own Ollie reality show. I hate reality shows but I would watch that one, so the police woman tells him something about youtube and pamela anderson, Ollie laughs it off and she tells him not to call or email, and he says he never does. I'm sure she wasn't expecting an everlasting relationship with a random guy she picked up from the streets speeding on his ducati. Anyway, she slaps him and Oliver says "Mercy" because she's the evil girl from the show, she does all the evil stuff like spying on hot single guys. Somehow I'm not sure that was Tess, simply because he's not kryptonian.
Smarty keeps trying to decipher the virus and Smarter tells her what we already knew about the episode from the description (except from the part where Zod is behind it all and Clark's blood is the cure) and that the enzyme looks like something he saw on Davis Bloome's blood. Smarty gets an idea.
I think Clark tearing up his shirt is one of the sexiest things I've seen in Smallville. Seriously. And you could feel the tension and the feelings between those two just by the way they were looking at each other. How do they do this? I know they are actors and all, but they've been working together for 5 years, you believed them at first when they didn't like each other, and those little teasing looks they kept giving each other, but now... this looks are completly differet, they are filled with so much more that I feel like bursting into song about the beauty that is love
"seasons can change winter to spring... but I'll love you, until the end of time" - Okay, I swear that is out of my system now
Lois: Do you think they've quarantined the city?
Clark: probably. They found out it was an airborne virus.
Lois: You realize that means we could both have it.
Clark: we can't think like that
Lois: I'm just saying once we go out there, we might not make it.
Clark: Lois
Lois: I'm serious. Those things are everywhere. It would just suck to go out without any... closure
is she talking about what i think she's talking?
Lois: Clark Do you have any deep, dark secrets?
Clark: do you?
Lois: Last year, when i was talking with the red-blue blur... for the first time in my life, i was doing something that mattered. And i wanted to work with him because we did such good things together. But then i started to realize that... I wasn't just doing it to save people. I was doing it for me. I just wanted to be with him.
Clark: We all get crushes. It doesn't make you a bad person.
a line from a Killers songs come to my mind, regarding Clark right now: "Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, Turning through sick lullabies..." haha.
Lois: You don't understand. I had never had this connection with someone before. Now that i have this connection, i don't want to go back to the way things were. This is embarrassing to admit. I don't want to be alone anymore.
I wonder what Clark thought of that confession, in a way her desire of not being alone anymore mirrors his own desire, and that connection she feels he's feeling it too, he told Chloe on Metallo "it's easy to talk to Lois". He's been more honest with her than ever whenever they talk on the phone and probably he knows this is the real thing, but how weird it has to be to hear her saying all that stuff about yourself like you're a different person. Also, I felt like hugging Lois when she said she didn't want to by alone, I can totally relate.
Clark gets called by smarty, and Ollie brust through a window. I liked that scene with the three of them talking about what's happening, gave me a comforting feeling of "the heroes are at work"
Clark leaves Lois with Oliver and she looks worried, Oliver totally gets the vibes between them and pushes the button. Clark asks him not to let her fall asleep and I think he could make a much better job at that. Oliver is all "alright, hope you get eaten by the zombies bye bye!" and Clark's like "keep her awake or I will kill you with my little finger"
Smarter didn't know Clark was kryptonian? that's new, I thought he already knew, everybody on the show knows! (except for Lois, of course)
I think Clark's aversion to have his blood taken reaches a new level. Poor thing. And wait, the description of the episode said Chloe asks for Clark's blood to save Lois... and she has no idea Lois could be a brain eater... who writes those descriptions? do they watch the episodes before doing it?
So, the smart people are ready to save the world and we go to Oliver and Lois.
He's giving her a weird look and she's breathing funny and fighting sleep. Usually I'd say "fall asleep already Lane, I want flashes!!" but not today, hell no.
So he pops more pills and continue his pity party, talking about himself and how screw up he is. How he misses her and their days together, which would be much more convincing if he were actually giving a damn about her.
Of course, Lois falls asleep, she turns into Doomsday!Lois, throws Ollie across the elevator and goes up up and away.
And we go back to Clark's beautiful eyes.
Smarty and Smarter put the antidote on the water supply which would unzombie the clean zombies, and Doctor nerdy tells today's going to rain men antidote.
Dr Hamilton: He finally met someone who was a match for his confidence. Probably no surprise that you were the one to betray him.
huh?
Dr Hamilton: May i ask why you're spying on him?
I knew she'd been hero stalking!! so she was the one behind the Ollie reality show? why?
Chloe thinks she's the heroes protector now? why? I don't think I'm liking that controling side of her so much now. I mean, she's right in a way, the leaguers are screw up and who knows what the rest are doing, I know Oliver needs a good kick on his green ass, but I don't know, maybe she's a bit obsessed with her watchtower role. You can force people to go back to being heroes if they don't want to do it anymore, just because that'll give your life a porpuse. I don't think Clark's the one who's playing God in this show.
Clark vrs Zombie!Lois:
"This is for forgetting about me when Lana showed up"
"And this is for standing me up at the coffee place"
Look at that, Clark's "fight" with zombie!Lois is better than Clark's fight with Doomsday
Clark: it's okay, you're going to be alright
And now one of the cutest moments ever. Probably my favorite Clois moment ever. Amazing how this show keeps giving us a better Clois moment each week, I thought nothing would top last week's hug in a good while, but this scene in the rain... is waaaaaay better
Clark: Lois
Lois: Clark... Clark what happened?
Clark: we made it
For a second there I thought they were going to kiss, but this hug is so full of love that is as good as a kiss for me ♥
Is it alright that I hate Oliver and want to ravish him at the same time? he looks so hot being all screw up and burning his costume.
Lol, Clark's wallet looks like mine, filled with papers from who knows when.
Ew, I think I threw up on my mouth a little. What's up with this Smallville guys and carrying pictures of their ex girlfriends in their wallets?
Did Clark Kent just move on? I think that little scene meant so much! he took Lana out of his wallet, for good, he finally let her go. Yes!! now I want to hug him even more!!
Lois: hey!
Clark: Lois... (I love the way he says her name)
Lois: I just came by to say thanks and to apologize if I tried to rip your head off or anything
Clark: you know, you have a pretty mean left hook.
Lois: I don't remember any of that. But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent
Clark: which side was that?
Lois: I'll give you a hunt. It starts with "H" and ends with "ero"
Clark: And I wasn't even wearing red or blue
Lois: you've got a long ways to go before you can do that. Still, I think we make a pretty good team
Clark: yeah, we do
Lois: you never did tell me your secret.
Clark: well...
Lois: relax Smallville...
OH.MY.GOD! maybe this is me, seeing too much into things, but Lois hitting him in the arm was her friendly thing to do, like when they decided they were secret friends. Him catching her punch could mean he doesn't want to be friends anymore? and we go back to those looks that are going to kill me pretty soon. So much meaning!! Damn it this two are sexy as hell.
Lois: keep the mystery. You need to work every last drop if it you've got
Speaking of deep meanings, I realised last season, when they had that conversation about soulmates and stuff, right after Maxima, they were at the barn, most of their important talks and teasing have been there, most of Clark's important talks have developed there, but now they are inside the house. Again, this is me seeing too much into things, but the barn is Clark's fortress of solitude, his defense against the world, when he's feeling sorry for himself he goes there, when he wants to brood, he goes there. And now he's with Lois, exchanging meaningful looks inside the house and I can't help thinking that maybe this means he's finally letting her in, he's letting her penetrate beyond his defenses because he's home with her. Yes, I'm THAT sappy...
Oh my!! now Lois' getting flashes when she's awake!! and no new flashes, I may add. Clark should have asked her what happend
Ooooh, that's why the doctor looked familiar, he was the guy with Major HotZod at the end of the episode.
I was wondering how hadn't they seen the House of El sign before?! it's all over the city. And now Zod thinks Jor-El survived is here and has power. A few seasons ago we saw that Jor-El looked like Clark, why did this kandorian guy didn't recognized Clark when he showed up with Lois at the hospital?
Now they have Clark's blood to track him down and the plot thinkens while the doctor guy loses his head.
And that's it, no deeper thoughts than the ones shared, I loved this episode, it showed important imrproves in Clois relationship and a clear picture of Oliver's stay in hell. The Kandorians still interest me, I wanna know what's going to happen once Zod faces Clark. The zombies were freaky but didn't bothered me as much as I thought they would. Once again a great episode!
See you guys next week with "Echo"
