Smallville: 10x13 "Beacon" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From Kryptonsite/CW.com:

Clark is surprised to see Martha on the news speaking at a pro-vigilante rally. However, surprise quickly turns to horror when he and Lois watch as Martha gets shot on national television. Meanwhile, Lionel reveals himself to the world and reclaims LuthorCorp from Tess and Oliver (Justin Hartley). Lois and Chloe decide to cheer Clark up by showing him videos from thousands of vigilante supporters professing their support for The Blur. (Videos were created and submitted by actual Smallville fans.)

I wonder how much this episode was edited/recut in the wake of the events in Arizona.

 

[Jetfire]

I think they originally had it where she is shot...but changed it to where she is just attacked.

[edit] I posted in the Hiatus thread EW is reporting no Rosey for the finale.

 

[Procutus]

Well, no great surprise there, I suppose. So we'll end up with one version or another of Clone Lex.

 

[Trekker4747]

Well good. I'm not sure Rosie O'Donnel would fit for the Smallville universe. Unless it's Valda (#1 on the list.)

Little more than 20 minutes to go, gang!

 

[DarthPipes]

Looking forward to the return of Lionel and Martha. It should be good. I'm DVR'ing the last part of The Clone Wars Chosen One trilogy, with Liam Neeson guest-voicing. Then Fringe at 9. Good stuff!

 

[Procutus]

I'll be in and out of the thread. My headache hasn't abated and my brain feels a bit like mush. Don't expect a lot out of me tonight.

How is this different than any other night of Smallville?

Don't expect a lot out of me tonight.

Are you telling this to us or your wife?

ZING!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

This episode's picking up already, the magnificent bastard returns.

 

[Procutus]

Somehow, I knew that line was coming. The Magnificent Bastard is back!

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Now come over and give me a blowjob."

We'll be waiting with abated breath.

Yeah, she's been apprised of my condition.

 

[Trekker4747]

Ah. Alt-U Lionel is a Mark Twain fan, I see.

That's what I love about this place. Everyone's a comedian.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Somebody save me, I feel like dog poop. I guess Tess will turn bad for the remainder of the season.

 

[Trekker4747]

Man, this episode is already an Awesome.

 

[Procutus]

No wait a minute, Walter Bishop opened the door between worlds... Er, wrong show.

 

[Trekker4747]

I wonder if that's Glover's real hair or a wig?

And man can this guy perform! I mean, okay, he was shitty in Batman & Robin, but MAN he's just awesome to watch.

 

[Samurai8472]

No wait a minute, Walter Bishop opened the door between worlds... Er, wrong show.

We have 54 minutes for that
