    I prefer how Smallville has done Brainiac...This was a very nice thing I hope they get Marsters back to do something later...maybe Brainiac 5 can be involved with the Booster Gold story later in the season.

    Michael is from the 26th century though I think so I'm not sure how. You know what would have made this episode even more perfect? If they had Future Lois say to Clark "Should I call Bruce?"

    Brainiac would be aware of Booster taking a ring and let it play out till he needs to step in...I really want to see Marsters again as B5.

    A Batman nod would be great but they(PSW) don't seem to willing to slip it in.

    Nope can't violate the all imposing embargo! Booster doesn't use the same time traveling technology that the Legion uses (which Brainy invented by the way). In my "Smallville" re-write that I'll post, Clark encounters Brainy and the Legion much earlier than he did in the actual show and they actually make reoccurring appearances.

    In the lap of squalor I assure you.
    For half a second that's exactly who I thought Oliver was going to talk about when he brought up JFK.... Which in itself was also a nice direction to go in.

    What I am amazed about is that Welling knows!

    Welling knows that his Clark is a Deush which is why his Superman was looking down his nose at the boy in the elevator.

    Hope renewed.

    I am sure they will adapt something to fit in with Smallville's continuity...I just felt we would see Brainiac 5...sometime in the future after seeing this ep.

    This needs to be captioned. Present Clark: Look at how stuck up I am!!! Future Clark: I really was a douche!

    I don't care what anyone says...after this ep I believe Tom Welling could pull off being a great Superman/Clark Kent in a movie. :D

    [edit] Even though I have had my problems with Erica Durance over the past 2 seasons...she would make a great Lois Lane in a movie. :)

    Is that straight from the episode? It's funny how you can see a seam right down the middle, I don't know if that's coincidental or actually exposing the technique.

    It is straight from the episode...I didn't notice the seam before but now that you mention it I see it. :shrug:

    Just gotta love it.
    The episode had a real honest-to-god Superman moment AND James Marsters!!!

    Me too. I mean... I wouldn't go either.

    I didn't know you could do that.

    It looked like they dropped her storyline. She was about to stab the doll out of bitterness, then Brainiac did something, then she was all nice to Clark when he showed up. What was going on? I must have missed something.

    :rommie:

    I was surprised at how different he looked a decade ago. I thought he hadn't changed but he did. He looks better now. His eyes, nose and lips aren't too big for his face anymore.

    I had the same thought.

    Wasn't the 100th episode the one where Pa Kent died? My how time flies.

    Lex went though this too in the episode "Lexmas".

    Yeah, he does.

    And she knocked the pilot out with her elbow. How will she explain that? :wtf:

    Now that you mention it... :rommie:

    Would have been weird if she wasn't standing on his feet and he started levitating while in a daze. Like falling-asleep-during-sex weird.

    Booster Gold? Looking forward to seeing him.

    This episode really made Ollie into a Bruce clone. If they ever did put Bruce in now, he'd seem redundant.

    I'd love to see him in a Superman movie.

    I've never had a problem with her.

    By the way, she looked great in that sun dress. Very distracting.

    Erica always looks hot...I just don't like the way her character(Lois) has be handled the last 2 seasons...she tends to overshadow Clark...which is makes no sense because this isn't about the adventures of Lois Lane...it is about Clark Kent becoming Superman.

    Smallville Clark: You seeing the seam in the split screen too?

    Future Clark: Yeah, it's 2010 how the hell did they fuck that up?

    This episode was fantastic. Finally they gave us more of what we wanted...the "I Love You", the getting over the past, the future stuff...it was all GREAT. I can't wait to see them continue to move forward and I only hope we don't get the flights and tights in the last 30 seconds of the finale.

    I've always assumed we wouldn't see Superman until the last shot of the last episode. Expecting otherwise is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

    This show was never supposed to be THE NEW, NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN.
