A major character dies (and turns out not to be who we thought anyway); Clark is betrayed by his superjerk friends, but trusts them anyway; and the epic battle between Clark and Doomsday ends up shorter and less satisfying than a commercial break. You guys should have packed it in with Season Eight while you had the chance. Just sayin'.]]> http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/doomsday_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/doomsday_1.php Tue, 19 May 2009 12:14:23 -0500 Injustice: Tess's band of teen heroes, including Punky Bruiser, is a lot less impressive in action than in theory. While hunting Doomsday, they fail miserably, but not before whining about their hard-knock lives before they worked for Tess. Clark and Oliver, meanwhile, continue to tussle over the morality of killing Davis. And Roger the Rottweiler stops in for a visit. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/injustice_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/injustice_1.php Wed, 13 May 2009 16:52:12 -0500 Beast: Davis gets worse as he tries to control his Doomsday impulses, so Chloe does what any hero's sidekick would do: she agrees to run away with the bad guy even as Clark begs her not to. Meanwhile, Jimmy begs for "car" money and Oliver lectures everyone about their morals. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/beast_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/beast_1.php Tue, 05 May 2009 17:28:52 -0500 Stiletto: Lois finds a job she's more qualified for -- squeezing into a leather catsuit with stiletto heels and paying someone to take racy photographs of her in a dark alley. Also, Clark finally faces his greatest foe: kryptonite money. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/stiletto_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/stiletto_1.php Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:44:17 -0500 Eternal: In flashbacks and Papa Luthor's ridiculous old art journal, we learn the true origins of Davis Bloome/Doomsday. They involve an oozing space egg, a traumatic childhood and lots of murder. But can he be killed? Not so much. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/eternal_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/eternal_1.php Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:18:21 -0500 Hex: Zatanna, the fishnet-wearing magician's daughter, can grant wishes. That includes an ill-advised one for Chloe, who wants to know what it's like to be Lois Lane. She finds out what the rest of us already knew: one day in that annoying, yapping body and you'll be thrilled to be back to your old self. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/hex_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/hex_1.php Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:30:57 -0500 Turbulence: Jimmy goes bonkers out of jealousy and suspicion of Davis and becomes a drug addict and soon-to-be divorcee. Meanwhile, Tess gets Clark on Oliver's private jet and plays the old "The plane's going down, where's the parachutes?" game. It's a game Clark loses. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/turbulence_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/turbulence_1.php Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:11:33 -0500 Infamous: Clark Reveals himself as the "Red-blue Blur" that's been streaking Metropolis, because Tori Spelling threatens him. It goes about as well as you'd expect. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/infamous_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/infamous_1.php Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:03:16 -0500 Requiem: Smallville is finally complete: she gets to ride off toward the sunset with her new superpowers while Clark is left to mope about the girl who got away for the rest of his life after Lana becomes a walking piece of Kryptonite. Oliver kills Lex, or a weak facsimile thereof. And somehow, eight seasons in, this manages to be the worst episode ever of the show.]]> http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/requiem_1a.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/requiem_1a.php Smallville Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:25:20 -0500 Power: Lana Lang -- the same Lana Lang who's not even supposed to be on the show anymore -- connives and whines and needles until she ends up with a super skin suit that gives her the same powers as Clark. Then she says they're equals. It's all right, Superman fans: you can leave the room and scream now. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/power_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/power_1.php Smallville Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:44:39 -0500 Bulletproof: How do you slow down a series about superheroes? Turn it into a clichéd cop drama. Clark goes undercover to find out who shot Martian Manhunter and tries to get a Good Cop from crossing over into Bad Cop territory. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/bulletproof_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/bulletproof_1.php Smallville Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:52:16 -0500 Legion: Three members of the 3009 Legion of Super-Heroes pay Clark a visit and help him stop Brainiac, who has taken over Chloe's body. Sadly, it turns out that a thousand years doesn't make superheroes any less goofy or predictable. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/legion_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/legion_1.php Smallville Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:01:28 -0500 Bride: A videotape of the Chloe and Jimmy wedding shows the carnage that occurs when Lois and Clark become seriously attracted to each other. Oh, and also what happens when Doomsday attacks. Lana also returns to remind us why it was a good idea that she left in the first place. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/post_5.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/post_5.php Smallville Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:55:54 -0500 Abyss: Eternal Sunshine up in here, but instead of a sweet, forlorn ending, Clark erases all memory of his powers from his best friend's brain.

Now if he can only figure out who around town wears bright red and blue clothes all the time.

He keeps having blackouts and people keep turning up dead.

What if one of them came from space, had superpowers and used them to kill every man who didn't live up to her ridiculous kissing standards? They call her "Maxima" and even Nissan can't control her. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/instinct_1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/instinct_1.php Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:11:00 -0500 Toxic: When Oliver is poisoned by a strange tropical flower, we learn the origin of Green Arrow: he was shipwrecked, then he learned mad bow and arrow skills, then he was a billionaire playboy and superhero.
