Thu - January 6, 2005Review: Alias Season Four PremiereAs promised, here is my review of last night's
Alias Season Four Premiere. As the detailed
review will likely contain spoilers, I'll throw out my general thoughts here.
Click "read more" for the full review. I thought this episode was an
interesting reboot for the series. It reset many of the relationships and
storylines that were taken in what many saw as the wrong direction last season,
while at the same time adding new conflicts and new characters. I think it was
an interesting balance of exposition and action that gets the show off to a good
start for the season. I'm going to give it four stars out of five. Should be a
good season.
Now, for those who want more details, here we go.
It was interesting that this show started in a nearly identical fashion as the
show's pilot. Sydney's in trouble, and then flashback 72 hours. Syd is in
Shanghai, apparently chasing some guy down the street, but it turns out she's
trying to extract him, and they're being chased by some Chinese muscle. They
duck into a Chinese night club, where we find out that Syd has apparently
violated some aspect of contact protocol, thus endangering her companion and
others. They do eventually escape, but Syd has to face the music at her
performance review. She gets demoted by the new director of the LA office,
Angela Basset, leading to her subsequent resignation. Ok, not off to the best
start...
At this point, I was slightly confused. I knew that her resignation couldn't be permanent, otherwise we wouldn't have a show, but I failed to see how they were going to get her out of it, at least at first. When we found out Vaughn was also quitting, things started to click for me a little bit. When Sydney was on the subway, I knew she was heading to a secret base, but what she found there...Whoa! No real surprise, Syd's been invited to join an elite black-ops group of the CIA, along with her dad, Vaughn, and Dixon. The shocker was who was going to head the group--Sloan. As I mentioned in my introductory review, this episode was in many ways a reset for the show. This new group is almost an SD-6 redux, with the addition of Vaughn, and, by the end of the show, Nadia. The base of operations is also an echo of the show's beginnings. I loved the use of white to distinguish it from the SD-6 headquarters, though. To ensure that APO (Authorized Personnel Only) is as identical to SD-6 as possible, the group "coincidentally" found it necessary to "recruit" Marshal. Having him arrested for hooking up his Playstation was just icing on the cake. The theft of the Samurai Sword from that English museum was also very well-executed. Nice product placement with the Coke as well. Probably the only part of this episode that I had trouble with is the direction they have decided to go with Irina. I was hoping to see her character again, as she, Jack, and Syd are great when playing off each other, but alas...I'm not sure why they had to kill her, and why Jack? The final scene with Syd and Nadia, where Nadia swears to kill the person responsible for killing her mother foreshadows the rift that is very likely to grow between them, and I don't like it. For one thing, Sloan seems to know about Jack killing Irina. Why wouldn't he tell Nadia? I guess we'll find out more about this next week. On a final note, there are still a few unanswered questions from last season that they seem to be completely ignoring. For instance, what ever happened to McKennas Cole and the Covenant? Sark and Lauren are out of commission, I wouldn't think that would spell the end of the Covenant, unless Irina was behind the who thing. After all, Cole worked for her when she was "The Man" in the first season, why not now? Another thing is, what did Nadia and Sloan find when they went off at the end of the season last year? They mentioned a Rambaldi device, but what was it? And, finally, what was the rest of that file about that Sydney found in the bank. Couldn't have been just about Jack killing her mother. Anyway, I bid you all adieu until next time. Have a good day. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 04:40 PM Tue - January 4, 2005Alias Season Four Premiere Tomorrow Night (January 5, 2005)!Just wanted to remind everybody that season three
of Alias starts tomorrow night on ABC, following
the new hit series Lost, at 9pm ET/8pm CT here in the U.S. This
will be a special two-hour episode, picking up right where season three left off. If you haven't seen the
third season, then I recommend heading out to Amazon.com or your favorite Brick 'n Mortar
store to pick up the DVD set (and support Vincit Veritas). I'll try
to post a review of the premier tomorrow night. If not, check back on Thursday.
Happy viewing.

Brooks Travis Posted at 08:16 PM Mon - January 12, 2004Hah! Told You So!After a holiday hiatus, Alias returned yesterday
with a bang, literally! While most of the episode focused on what Sydney was up
to during her absence, the audience was definitely treated to some surprises,
not least of which is the fact that Rambaldi's prophecy for Sydney was that she
would have his baby! Oh, and then we found out that Vaughn's wife was working
with the covenant (Told you so!). Well, that's really it for now. If I get
some more time, I'll give my two cents about what to expect for the rest of the
season.

Brooks Travis Posted at 09:20 PM Fri - October 17, 2003Smallville--Season 3, Episode 3 Review (Extinction)Ahh, Smallville. Arguably the best show on
television just keeps getting better. While many of the shows have been lax on
the adherence to continuity, "Extinction" was a model of compliance, tying
several episodes together to make for a very compelling story. Wondering who
that Marine recruiter from "Visage" was, is Lex a "Freak," does chloe keep tabs
on suspected freaks, then this episode has your answers, or at least a bit more
information. Keep reading to find out more, along with my take on
things.
Ahhh...Freak of the Week episodes, don't you just
love them? Wait a second, this wasn't a freak of the week episode, at least not
in the technical sense. The only
real
krypto-villian didn't make it through the first five minutes, instead, it was
his best friend, Van, the son of that wonderful Marine recruiter Tina Greer
bashed over the head with a baseball bat last season when she was pretending to
be Whitney to get into Lana's pants. Turns out, Van has a bit of problem with
people who have been "altered" by Kryptonite that litters the soil around
Smallville. So much so, that he feels the need to shoot them.
The gill-boy that Van kills, saving Lana in the process, is actually his second victim, the first being mentioned two weeks ago in the Smallville Ledger. During the early stages of his investigation, Clark learns that Van's next target is none other that Clark's best buddy, Lex Luthor. If you remember, in the first season, Lex was being examined by a doctor who told him that he had an extraordinarily high white cell count. Apparently, Chloe got hold of this little bit of information, because it made it into her "freak files." Van managed to get hold of this, along with the rest of her research. Clark finds Van's copies in his old hunting cabin, and manages to save Lex by catching a bullet. The bad part of this is, that Van sees it all. When Clark tries to stop Van, he is exposed to some Kryptonite and Van realizes its effect on him. Van's newfound knowledge leads him to manufacture Kryptonite bullets that he decides to use on Clark. Clark, thinking that they are just regular bullets attempts to catch one, which leads to becoming lodged in his shoulder. Old Pa Kent has to dig it out with a very large kitchen knife and a pair of needle-nosed pliers, a scene not for the faint of heart. After the bullet is removed, we are treated to a demonstration of Clark's healing abilities, awesome. In the mean time, Van heads into town to ask for help from Lana, in return for saving her life. He tells her about what he did to Clark, and she freaks out. She throws him down some stairs and then heads inside to call 911 and tells them that Clark has been murdered, just before Van is able to rip the phone off the wall and take her captive. When the police do respond to the call, they find Clark alive and well, but Clark realizes what he has to do and uses the police radio to let Van know where to find him. Van and Lana show up at Smallville High, where they meet Clark. Van throws Lana aside and empties a clip at Clark, but this time it doesn't have any effect. Then, instead of Clark taking Van out, Lana kicks him in the...let's just say that she struck a little below the belt and then spun-kicked him into a trophy case. Those self-defense classes with Lex have really been paying dividends. Lana's taken out more bad guys this season than Clark. Throughout all this, Chloe is trying to escape her deal with Lionel, only to find out that she's in even deeper than before. Her father's job is on the line, and by the end of the episode, Lionel makes it clear that her life is as well. It will be interesting to see how Chloe is able to play this as the season progresses. It also looks like Lex is beginning to develop an untouchable complex, something that plays into his megalomaniacal personality down the road. Just one more little tidbit, my favorite quote. Clark tell's Lex why Van wants to kill him and Lex responds, "The only abilities I have are playing the market and falling in love with the wrong women." That was just hilarious. If you haven't seen this episode yet, then find a friend who's got it on tape, or buy the Season 3 DVD Set. If you've already seen it, watch it again. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 07:31 PM I'm Alive!--Alias, Season 3, Episode 3, ReviewFirst, I want to apologize for the lack up
updates to this site over the past week. Things have been crazy with school and
my (almost) two jobs. At the same time, I have been able to watch this weeks
Alias and Smallville episodes. I'm going to start with episode three of Alias,
which throws Sydney and Vaughn back into active duty together. Not to mention
the inclusion of Sark, one of my favorite characters on the show. Well, to find
out more, keep reading.
The third episode of
Alias's
third season builds on the successes of last weeks. We finally get to see
substantial interaction between Sydney and Vaughn's wife, and the claws are
definitely out. It's going to be interesting where the writers take the two of
them this season. Personally, if I had to call it, I'd say Mrs. Vaughn is
working for Arvin Sloane. That would definitely add a great little twist for
the season finale. It just seems unimaginable, too me, that they're going to
keep Syd and Vaughn apart, but then again, they are letting her get close to
Weiss. Though this might be more detrimental to Weiss's health than a harbinger
of their romantic pairing. Getting back to the tension between the feisty
blonde from Virginia with a British accent and Sydney brings us to perhaps the
most interesting part of the entire story, the fact that the CIA now has a video
of Lasarey's (spelling?) murder.
Just after Sydney is sent out on a mission to acquire a Russian anti-satellite weapon before the Covenant is able to get their hands on it, the first leg of which takes her to Mexico for brief surveillance of Sark. While Sydney's in good ol' México, Jack learns about the second video of Sydney committing murder during her two-year hiatus. The catch, the video's resolution isn't high enough to make an identification of the killer. Marshall to the rescue. Now, it's race against time for Jack to sabotage the file before marshall can render it. Now, as a computer person, I did have some trouble with this, as it would be really easy to get another copy of the tape and try to reconstruct the image again, unless Marshall just accepts that it can't be done (trust me, he wouldn't). Apparently, the CIA uses Windows XP, because all Jack need to do to sabotage the file was gain access to a terminal with administrative privileges. This brings us back to Sydney's mission, and its second leg. Apparently, between last week and this, Vaughn got his field rating back, because he and Sydney are dispatched, along with Vaughn's wife, to visit Sloane, with the hope that he can get them access to the facility where Russia is keeping their secret weapon, before Sark can. There's some wonderful sniping between Sloane and Sydney, and before they even get to Oslo (or is it Geneva), we learn that it was Vaughn's wife who negotiated Sloane's pardon...hmmm, interesting.... Unfortunately, our dynamic duo of Vaughn and Sydney are too late, and Sark's beat them to the weapon. Thankfully, Syd sets a generator to overload, preventing the weapons extraction and causing an explosion that destroys it, along with one of Sark's associates. Bit of an easy way out if you ask me, but I really love the opportunity it gave to demonstrate Sark's cool demeanor under pressure. Man, he's a cool customer. Hope we see more of him later. Looking past this episode, the next one should be really interesting, as it looks like Sydney may begin to remember some of what happened, or possibly even revert to how she was during the missing two years. It should be an interesting adventure, and maybe even a deadly one for Vaughn. What's that they say about Hell hath no fury...? Tune in to find out. Sunday nights, ABC, 9pmET/PT (8pmC). -- Brooks Travis Posted at 06:16 PM Thu - October 9, 2003Episode Review--Smallville Season 3, Episode 2, PhoenixWhat can I say about this episode. I told you I
was going to reserve complete judgment on the premiere until after this week's
second half of the two parter, and I have to say that I'm glad I did. Where
last week's episode was only one of the best episodes of the show, I have to say
that this episode was by far the best one so far. The tensions were strong, and
the plot twists were well timed. There were a few rough edges, but there
usually are, at least to me, but then, again, I'm hypercritical. If you want to
hear more of my thoughts on the particulars of this episode, then read
on.
First off, I have to say that the battle between
suped up Jonathan and Red-K Clark was one of the best battle scenes ever on
television. I'm really glad that it was the end of Red-K Clark for the time
being; I was afraid they'd try to drag it out for too long. Having him home
within the first fifteen minutes allowed the show to focus on tying up the loose
ends from last season. But, before we get into that, I have to say something
about one new character in
particular.
This season marks the introduction of one of the more intriguing characters from the Superman mythos, and of the villains in particular. Morgan Edge, the infamous head of Intergang. I have to say that they couldn't have chosen a better actor to play him than Rutger Hauer. It's just unfortunate that it looks like he won't be able to reprise the role later in the season. Oh well, we enjoyed it while it lasted. It will be interesting to see what happens with his character, given what he knows about Clark, and he's probably the first character to survive after learning Clark's weakness to Kryptonite. Speaking of Kryptonite, this seems like as good a time as any to dispense with my gripes about the show. First, I can't believe that Clark would be stupid enough to demonstrate to Edge what his weakness is. Come on, I mean, how dense do you have to be? My second gripe is that there was no Pete in this episode at all. Clark apologized and reconnected with everyone else, but left Pete hanging. Where's the love? And, last but not least, is Lana's state of mind during the last fifteen minutes of the show. She shows up at the Kent's, gets taken hostage, and then kills the person who was holding her. She seems shocked at that moment, but we don't even get a hint of it later. I was nice to see Power Ranger Lana again, but I think that killing someone, even if they were willing to kill you, would have a more profound impact on her than what it did. Well, that pretty much wraps up my gripes, on to the positives. First on my list was Lex's reappearance at the LuthorCorp Tower, while Lionel stood looking out the broken window of his office. The exchange between them during that scene was very intense, but Lionel never really broke character. He played everything cool despite having a gun pointed at his head. I have to say that at first, I didn't think Lex was going to believe Lionel, but then it appeared that he did. That led Lex back to Smallville, and Helen. When Helen told her story, I didn't know who to believe, and I really liked that feeling. I knew it would be resolved at some point, but I couldn't see how. The scene between Lex and Clark, when they saw each other for the first time, was very touching and sad. It's terrible to watch their closeness, while in the back of your mind knowing that it can't last, that one day they will be bitter enemies. My final great thing about Lex's return was when he and Helen left for a "second chance" at their honeymoon. First of all, I was screaming, "Lex, what are you thinking...?" Then, he gets all serious on her and begins to tell what he thinks really happened. Then she pulls a gun on him. At that moment, I think we got a very ominous glimpse of the man Lex will become, the overconfident, arrogant villain of the Superman comics, the one who has "cheated death" so many times. It will be interesting to see how things play out from here with him. I still think he wants to be good, but the evil side has gained a clear advantage. Finally, the back story between Lionel and Edge, was very interesting, and I think it is something that will return in later episodes. Edge knows Clark's secret, and Lionel wants to know it. The real kicker is, that we know Edge lives, but Lionel doesn't, in the comics. What Lionel is trying to do with the blood is anyone's guess, but my money's on cloning. It's common theme in the comics, with Cadmus trying to clone Superman after his death at the hands of Doomsday, and has already been demonstrated in Accelerate last season. This season is definitely shaping up to be the best one so far, with the new dynamic in the Clark/Lana relationship--she's the one doing the chasing now--and the introduction of Morgan Edge. It seems like the major adolescent emotional hurdles have been tackled, and the show can now move on to developing the characters into their future selves: Clark into Superman, Lex into Evil Lex, Pete into VP Pete, Lana into the lost love of Clark Kent who ends up married to Pete, and Chloe into...well...Chloe into whatever place they've found for her. I'd look for major movement along these story paths as the season progresses, with a very good possibility of Clark and Lana actually getting together for more than two episodes. In fact, I'm going to be bold and predict their romantic reunion as the next to last episode of the season, with Clark finally spilling the beans to her, only to have Chloe overhear the entire thing in the season finale. That will give us a good fourth season of Clark/Lana, with the added intrigue of Chloe also knowing the secret and her internal conflict over whether or not to tell anyone about it. Well, that's it for now. See you all back her next week. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 12:58 AM Tue - October 7, 2003Smallville Season Three, Episode Two, Phoenix, This Wednesday!Just a reminder to all, that this wednesday night
is the second new episode of Smallville
this season, and the second half of a two-part
season premiere. It will pick up where last week's episode left off, and tie up
the loose ends from last season's finale. Check it out at 7pm (CT) on the WB
and check back here later in the evening for a review.

Brooks Travis Posted at 08:35 AM Better Late than Never--Alias Episode 2 Review for Season ThreeActually, the title of this entry has a double
meaning. First, I've been slow in posting it. Second, this episode answered a
few of the questions I was hoping to have answered in the season premiere, like
where the heck is Will, and Sark. The real question is, did this episode meet
my expectation of what a good Alias episode should be, and make the faith I
posited in the show reasonable. Well, I think the answer is a resounding yes.
Keep reading to find out more.
Well, it looks like the Covenant is going to be
the big bad for most of this season, and will probably turn out to be run by
Sloan. In this episode, we learn a little bit more about what happened to Syd
over the past couple of years. Judging from the ending, and the issue of Sark
and the gold, it is pretty apparent that it was the Covenant that has had Syd.
Speaking of Sark and the gold, that part was one of the funniest that I've seen
on the show so far. When he walked into that vault and saw that gold, the look
on his face--priceless. It will be interesting to see how things play out with
him this year, and if he immediately learns who runs the covenant or not.
The second major part of the show, for me, was the back story of Vaughn returning to the CIA, and his interactions with Syd. As I mentioned before, I thought she came down too hard on him last week. The man spread her ashes at sea, for goodness' sake. Seeing them working together again next week should be interesting. There was a great little twist at then end, too, when the NSC guy left and put someone else in charge of working with that CIA office, someone who just happens to be Vaughn's wife. Why didn't Weiss just tell Syd that Vaughn's wife drove a Ford Focus? Well, here's to hoping that there are a lot more episode twos this season and very few episode ones. This second episode was what the first one should have been, at least for me. About the only negative was the way in which they addressed information left over from last week, by sticking it in in passing. They could have made it easier on themselves by answering many of the question in the premiere, and left seasonal exposition until the second episode. Oh well. See you back her next week. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 08:32 AM Wed - October 1, 2003Episode Review--Smallville Season PremiereI have to admit, I'm a bit of a spoiler hound
when it comes to my TV shows. That being said, I was still pretty surprised
with tonight's season premiere of Smallville. There were some
things that I wasn't quite sure would work, based on what I had read about them,
and other things I wasn't expecting. There were a lot of questions left after
last season, many loose ends to tie up. Well, how did they do? Keep reading to
find out.
I'll start this off with what has been happening
to Clark for the past three months. It seems our favorite farm boy has
succumbed to the corruptive influence of his red Kryptonite ring, and has
entered a drastic life of flamboyant crime featuring an entire squad of police
taking shots at him in front of a bank he just robbed. Now, I was expecting
this from the beginning, but the way they executed it was just priceless. The
real kicker of the whole thing is that he's still the same old clark underneath
it all. The way he brushed that girl off sort of showed he was still pining for
Lana, something we see later in the episode when she finds
him.
Lex, ah, Lex. Well, I'm pretty sure Helen is a...well, you get the idea. From what I could tell from her conversation with Lionel, she's been working for him from the beginning, and never really liked Lex. this is one of the things I have a major problem with in this episode. What Lex and Helen had last season seemed real, as did her concern and sincerity with Clark's secret after "Fever." I can't bring myself to believe that she's as evil as they're making her out to be in this episode. All the while, Lex is on his island hideaway with his dear buddy Lewis, who has apparently been stranded there longer than Lex. The real twist comes later, when we learn that Lewis was never real to begin with, but was probably just a manifestation of the darker side of Lex, brought to the surface by his trauma. The interaction between the two seems to signal a definite shift in Lex that will be played out over this season, once he gets home and rights some wrongs. Jonathan, Martha, Lana, Pete, and Chloe. What more is there to say here. The only real surprise her for me was the fact that Chloe knew where he was for two months and actually managed to keep his secret. I doubt she'll be too willing to do that again, but I have been wrong before. One part I thought I was going to have trouble with was the receipt of Kryptonian powers by Jonathan from Jor-el. I thought it would be contrived and unbelievable, but they actually managed to make it work. They're actually starting to redeem Jor-el in my mind, portraying him as a tester. It makes sense that the tests would be so trying, considering the level of power that Clark will one day have to wield. It's just unfortunate, from my perspective, that Lana won't be the one to share that future with him. She's already gone through so much to be with him. Well, this brings me to the conclusions and predictions portion of the review. Overall, I really enjoyed this episode, the only bad part was that it was "to be continued." I'll have a fuller feeling about it after next week. As far as predictions go, I see Chloe getting in deeper with Lionel as the season progresses. I look for there to be a major fallout between Lex and Helen when he returns to Smallville, and it will be interesting to see how that whole thing plays out. I see Lex seeking therapy to get past what happened on the island, he's definitely had a psychotic break, but the real question is how sever it was and will it be permanent. Lana will probably be the one going after Clark this season, what I consider to be a welcome change from previous seasons, while Clark continues to struggle with his destiny and his feelings for the people he cares about. Well, that's all for this week. See you back here next Wednesday. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 11:22 PM Smallville Premiere Tonight, 7pm The WB--Review TomorrowTonight's the night we've all been waiting for
(at least my wife and I) since last May when clark went riding off to Metropolis
and Lex's plane was crashing into the ocean. It's an opening two-parter, so
don't expect too much resolution of loose ends tonight. Unfortunately, I have a
massive test in my Wednesday night class, and can't skip out to watch the
episode. Nevertheless, I will be posting a review as soon as I can get the
episode watched (most likely tomorrow morning). So, check back here in the
morning for my take on the episode and where I think the show is heading this
year.

Brooks Travis Posted at 04:40 PM Sun - September 28, 2003Episode Review--Alias Season Three PremiereOk, I'm gonna start off by saying that I really
don't like to be jerked around by a television show so much that I can't tell
which way is up. A little bit is ok, and I was expecting that with this season
premiere, given what we got at the end of the season last year. If you want to
know why I felt like this, then click on the link to read more.
Ok, what the heck are they trying to do? I know,
there was a pretty big split among the show's fans as to whom Sydney should be
with, Vaughn or Will, but what they did tonight was just a cop-out. Yeah, Syd's
gone for two years and Vaughn gets married, that's believable, but then they
don't even show Will. Then comes that scene at the end with Vaughn and Sydney,
and Sydney tells Vaughn that she would have waited. I have to say that I had a
little trouble believing that. But that was only my first
complaint.
As I mentioned in my abstract, I felt jerked around in this episode. At the beginning, Syd attacks Vaughn, thinking it isn't him. I have to say that when that happened I believed her. Then came the tranquilizer dart, and I shifted back to believing that it was really Vaughn and had to face the disappointment of him being married to someone that wasn't Syd. That aggravated me, not because I want her with Vaughn, but because my expectations were raised then dashed so quickly. Then came the stuff with her father. The fact that Jack was in prison has thus far only served as a mechanism to force Sydney to take action to free him. I had a major feeling of Deja Vú throughout this episode; it was so much like the latter part of the pilot. Syd goes on the run from the CIA (SD6 in the pilot) to try and get something she wants (avenging her fiancé's death in the pilot and getting her father out of prison in this episode). To top this off, we've got this NSC liaison who isn't a very convincing bad-ass. I just hope things get better later this season, and from the previews that they showed after this premier, they will. On a best out of ten rating system, I'd give this episode a five, compared to a nine for the pilot or a ten for the season two premier. This is ok, though. This show has been a hit for the past two years, and therefore has a loyal fan-base that is willing to forgive a bad episode every now and then, even if it is a season premiere. -- Brooks Travis Posted at 10:00 PM Review of Alias Season 3 PremiereTune after tonight's Alias season three premiere
for a in-depth review!
Check back after the show! 9ET, 8CT.
Posted at 05:07 PM Sat - September 27, 2003Smallville Season Premiere This WednesdayThis Wednesday night marks the beginning of the
third season for one of the best shows on television,
Smallville
. For those of you who don't know what
Smallville
is, I ask, "Where have you been?" This flagship series on Time Warner's
broadcast network, The WB, tells the story of a young Clark Kent, in the days
before he becomes Superman, when he is still struggling with his powers and
trying to find a place for himself in the world. It's a modernized, completely
reworked telling of the Superman mythos, that brings several new elements and
plot twists. Not least of these is that Lex Luthor, Superman's arch nemesis, is
Clark Kent's best friend, ever since Clark saved his life. Keep reading if you
want to find out more.
With the third season of
Smallville
ready to begin in less than five days, it is important to note some changes in
the shows scheduling. First, it has taken the old
Dawson's
Creek time slot on Wednesday nights, before
Angel.
This also means that it is on opposite
Enterprise
on UPN (Boo, hiss, bad
scheduling!). Well, that's what VCRs (or TiVo, and I wish I had one) were made
for. This probably isn't the place to let out too many spoilers for the show,
but I will give a little recap of where we stand starting this season off.
First, Clark has run away from Smallville under the influence of Red Kryptonite,
which causes him to lose his inhibitions. Lex's plane just crashed into the
ocean, with him, apparently only him, still on board (Where's Helen, his new
bride?). Jonathan and Martha Kent just lost their unborn child in an accident,
while heading home to check on Clark. Chloe's made a deal with the devil,
Lionel Luthor, and Pete, well, Pete is still Pete, bit player. If you want to
know more about the upcoming season, or about the show in general, you may want
to check out Kryptonsite .
There you'll find spoilers, show news, and a general list of episode recaps.
Well, That's it for right now. Just watch for more update throughout the
season, on this and other of my favorite
shows.
