Smallville season 8 ep 11 recap

It's baaaaack..... After taking its hiatus, Smallville is back on Thursdays at 8pm EST. on CW
Sorry for the late recap, I just now watched it, had it on my PVR and didn't have time to watch it earlier, being busy sucks.

*CONTAINS SPOILERS, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EPISODE STOP READING NOW!!!*

As you might recall, the end of episode 10, showed Doomsday causing all hell to break loose at Chloe's wedding at the Kent farm, before kidnapping her.

Episode 11 starts off showing the aftermath of the carnage,

Clark's barn is a wreck after Chloe's kidnapping. Clark tells Lana that he looked all over and can't find Chloe.
He says that Jor-el had warned him about Earth's ultimate destroyer. Lana says that she wants to go to the Isis Foundation to try to find out who took Chloe. Lana leaves.

A man with a metal mask teleports into the barn and destroys one of Clark's crates. He attacks Clark with an axe causing him to bleed. Just before the man is about to swing and kill Clark, the axe is magnetically pulled out of his hand by another man, Rokk, who appears.
A woman, Imra, then appears and distracts the masked man while another man, Garth, appears and knocks him out with an electric bolt.
Rokk removes the man's ring which causes the man to teleport out. Clark's visitors tell him that they are the Legion from the 31st century. Garth asks Clark where his cape is.

Clark sees that he is hurt. Imra says that his wounds will slowly heal.
Clark asks how they know him. Garth tells him that his actions are part of his history and that his things are now in a museum. Clark asks them who the masked man is.
Rokk tells him that the man is named the Persuader, part of the Human Supremacist Movement from the future. Rokk tells Clark that the Persuader stole one of the Legion rings and jumped back in time. Rokk says that Clark influenced Earth to welcome alien immigrants with open arms.

Garth says that he himself is an alien. Imra communicates with Clark telepathically and tells him that people from various worlds meet on Earth. Garth notices that the Phantom Crystal, which was in the crate, was destroyed by the Persuader. Rokk says that the Persuader is trying to make sure that Braniac survives.

Davis wakes up in the Fortress of Solitude and asks Chloe if she is okay. Chloe says that she is perfect but Davis sees that she looks strange. Chloe grabs his face and says that he appears undamaged. Chloe tells Davis that Chloe ceased to exist as soon as they entered the fortress.

Chloe says that Davis was created by a Kryptonian geneticist. She tells him that he is undergoing a metamorphosis. Chloe says that it's sad that he was attracted to the woman that she is now controlling. Chloe says that it is now time for him to incubate in a crystalis to become Doomsday, a being who doesn't feel pain.
She tells him that his mission... is to eradicate Clark Kent and the rest of the planet.

Back at the barn, the Legion tells Clark that today is the day when Clark is supposed to destroy Braniac. Imra says that she can read that Clark thinks that Chloe is Braniac's host.
Rokk says that Clark must kill Braniac even if the cost is Chloe's life.
Rokk says that if he doesn't destroy Brainiac, there will be no future.
They tell Clark that the Persuader destroyed the Phantom Crystal which could have protected Chloe.

Clark and the Legion go to the rail road tracks. Clark tells the Legion that he needs to defeat Braniac himself. Garth asks Clark why he travelled on the ground and Clark says that he can't fly.

Rokk says that he has never heard about Chloe. Garth says that Chloe is not in the history books probably because she didn't survive. Clark runs off. Garth says that Clark is nothing like the man of steel that he read about.

Lana goes through Chloe's file. Imra arrives and tells Lana that she is from the future. Imra says that Chloe has been taken over by Braniac and that the only way to stop him is to kill Chloe.
Imra says that they need to convince Clark to kill Braniac. Imra says that she read about Lana in her books and knows that she is the reason he grew up to become a great hero. Imra says that if Braniac survives, billions of people will die. Imra tells Lana that she should know about sacrifice. Imra reads Lana thoughts and sees that she hasn't told Clark where she has been and about her plans.

Clark goes to the Fortress of Solitude and finds Chloe possessed by Braniac. Chloe tells Clark that his father is gone. Clark tells Braniac to leave Chloe alone. Braniac/Chloe says that as soon as she takes all of the planet's information, Doomsday will destroy it.
Clark grabs Braniac/Chloe and she tells him to kill her. Clark hesistates and Braniac/Chloe says that she knew that he would not harm him if he took over Chloe's body. Chloe throws Clark across the room then runs off. He tries to follow her, but is unable to keep up. After he leaves, we see Davis encased in a crystalis.

The Legion goes downtown and are surprised at the low level of technology the people are using. Imra and Garth tell Rokk that they need to kill Chloe themselves.

Clark goes to Lana and says that Braniac took over Chloe's body. Lana says that Imra said that the only way to stop Braniac is to kill Chloe.
Clark says that he is putting Chloe's life ahead of billions of people. Lana tells Clark that the Clark she knew would try to save both Chloe and the world.

Braniac/Chloe goes to the Daily Planet and accesses the data files. Lana tells Clark that there is a power surge at the Daily Planet. Lana sees three planets on her screen which puts her in a trance. Imra tries to enter Braniac's mind but she is blocked out.
Garth and Rokk combine powers, shoot an energy blast and knock out Braniac.
Imra says that Chloe shows some brainwave activity and that they have a little time before Brainiac reboots. Garth and Rokk find two Daily Planet employees in a trance while staring at a screen and realize that Braniac is draining their knowledge.

The legion lays Chloe down and Garth takes a dagger to stab her. Garth hesitates and Rokk takes the knife. Just before Rokk stabs Chloe, Clark arrives and takes the knife.
Rokk tells Clark that they need to kill Chloe. Clark says that one of his rules is that they should never kill. Clark says that they need to help Chloe. Imra looks in Chloe's mind and says that she can hear her.
The team brings Chloe to Clark's barn. Clark says that they should try to connect to Chloe's mind. Clark tells Rokk and Garth that they should be able to disable Braniac.
Imra says that Braniac is coming back on line. Rokk and Garth use their powers and hold Braniac back. They remove the particles that make up Braniac and Rokk holds it in his palm of his hand.

Elsewhere, the crystalis that Davis is encased in, begins to crack.

At the Isis Foundation, Lana regains consciousness. Clark calls to Chloe who wakes up and says that she is fine. Chloe tells Clark that she feels a whole lot dumber.

The next day Clark meets with Chloe at her apartment. Chloe says that she will feel better as soon as she meets up with Jimmy in Star City.
Clark says that there is no sign of Doomsday. Clark asks Chloe if she knows about his secret and she says that she remembers. Chloe thanks Clark for not giving up on her.
Chloe says that she hopes the next time if there is no other choice he would do what is best for the world.

Imra looks over photos of Lana and Clark. Lana arrives and says that she is looking for Clark. Imra tells Lana that she is very lucky. Lana says that she is curious about her future with Clark.

Imra says that she will be remembered for a lot more than her relationship with Clark.

Clark, Garth and Rokk help each other fix the barn. Garth finds a baseball and asks Clark if he can keep it as a souvenir. Clark uses his heat ray vision to sign the ball then gives it to Garth. Rokk says that he has learned that they should preserve life at all costs. Rokk gives Clark a ring and tells him to put on the ring if he wants to go jump to 3009. Rokk tells Clark to be careful in the days ahead. The three use their rings and teleport back to the future.

Lana meets with Clark while he examines the ring. Clark tells Lana that it is strange to meet people who know what he is going to accomplish. Lana says that the people from the future didn't know about Chloe.
Clark says that he is not sure if he is going to live up to the deeds that the Legion was talking about. Lana says that they are responsible for their lives.

Back at the fortress, Doomsday breaks free from his crystalis.

After episode 10, I was really hoping for a showdown between Clark and Doomsday, but I guess we will have to wait a while.
The trio that went back in time were perfect for taking down Braniac. They were kind of goofy though with Rokk reminding me of Mack from Always Sunny and Garth being a straight up dork.

I am curious about what Lana is planning on doing, should be a really interesting remainder of the season/series.

What'd you think of the episode??

Smallville, Season 8, Episode 10

Dum dum da dum..Dum dum da dum....

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here on today on for this 10th edition of the 8th Season of Smallville, to witness the union of James Bartholomew Olsen and Chloe Anne Sullivan. If there is anyone here who objects to this marriage, may they speak now, or forever...HOLY CRAP, there's a giant alien creature destroying the wedding!

That's right, tonight's episode of Smallville brought us the wedding of Chloe and Jimmy, the return of Lana Lang, and the arrival of the gigantic alien destroyer called Doomsday. Short of Lois Lane performing as the stripper at Jimmy's bachelor party, what more could you want from an episode of Smallville?

Taking a page out of Cloverfield, The episode opens with home video footage of the wedding of Jimmy and Chloe. There are plenty of cuts and very grainy video footage, but even more depressing is the fact that the wedding is taking place in Clark's barn. The nuptials go off without a hitch, and there's a big kiss and cake, and everything's fine until...THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

If you've seen Cloverfield, you know what happens next. There's a loud, scary noise outside, the electricity goes out, people panic and run, trampling over one another while screaming "WHAT IS THAT?!" We see Chloe cradling an injured Jimmy as a monstrous thing shows up.

Frustratingly, the episode then rewinds and actually begins eight hours earlier. Lois has taken over the wedding planner duties and is running the day with an iron fist, trying to turn the barn into a suitable place for a wedding. She should've started eight days ago, not eight hour, why wait until the last minute to do things? you're just asking for trouble, ITS A WEDDING PEOPLE!!!!.

Jimmy takes some time off from rehearsing his vows to tell Lois that Clark likes her. He ducks in to see his bride-to-be, (was just asking for trouble huh) followed by the annoying videographer. The two lovebirds fall even more in love, but that's ruined when Chloe gets a voicemail message from Davis, making her question in her mind whether she wants a boy or a man.

Oliver arrives at the farm to let Clark know that Lex is alive, and that he can track him, but he needs Clark's help. Clark refuses to help on Chloe's special day, even though Lex is a huge threat.
Oliver guilts him into helping, Clark returns to Oliver's plane but Clark still provides some warnings about going after Lex as vengeance for his parents. Clark doesn't give him the stolen router, but one of Oliver's cronies used wifi to download the info.

Back at the barn, Chloe tells Lois about Davis' kiss. Chloe needs something borrowed to complete her tradition (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue), but Clark doesn't approve of her decision to snoop and borrowing his Kryptonite rock. If he didn't have Jor-El wipe her memory of his secret, he wouldn't have to worry about these problems. Instead, Clark lets her borrow a flower she gave him when they were freshmen in high school, both Chloe and Lois are touched that he had kept it all this time.

Oliver tracks Lex to Cuba, so the Green Arrow shows up, sees a bald man, and shoots him with an arrow. It's a mannequin, and while investigating it, the Green Arrow gets his ass kicked by a girl. But it's not just any girl, it's...LANA LANG! Wow, that's not how I expected to see Kristin Kreuk again. Suddenly Lana's a vigilante also going after Lex to protect Clark. It's a bit surprising how nonplussed she is to discover that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow, on a side note, her new changed look, with the hair and everything... looks great on her.

Shortly before the wedding, Lois acts a little goofy when she sees Clark in a suit. She helps him put on his cufflinks, Clark reads Jimmy's vows that were handed to him, but a mistaken Lois thinks that Clark is confessing his love for her, she's heartbroken when she turns and learns the truth. poor girl.

Now back closer down the timeline to where this episode started, Davis is on the phone leaving a message for Chloe, covered in blood and throwing out two trash bags full of guts. A cop stops him, and Davis warns the cop to leave because he's having another one of his blackouts. Only by "blackout," Davis means "turning into a giant alien Ultimate Destroyer." We see the start of the transformation as Davis' hand has black spikes popping out of it.

The wedding reception, meanwhile, gives Lois and Clark an opportunity to slow dance and SLOWLY move in for their first kiss. By slowly, I mean at a snail's pace, because they spend about one whole minute getting their lips closer and closer until, just as they're about to kiss, Lana shows up. Perfect timing, as usual.

Shortly thereafter, Oliver shows up and finds an increasingly drunk Lois. Against her better judgment, she decides to confess her emotional turmoil to her ex-boyfriend, who thinks that Clark feels the same way about Lois, even if he (Clark) can't say it.

In an even more awkward encounter of the exes, Clark and Lana reconnect. She's proud to see he's living up to his potential and saving people in Metropolis, and she doesn't regret the choice to leave. More importantly though, she doesn't respect Clark's decision to wipe Chloe's memory, because Lana never would have been able to forgive him if he did that to her.

That's when Doomsday showed up, and now we get a much clearer look at it. Doomsday is a giant, terrifying, spiky alien creature resemsembling a cross between Alien and Predator. Personally I think the Smallville version was too thin, granted he was shown in the dark primarily, and we mostly saw just his eyes, but the comic version, he was a lot bigger, a more imposing figure...just nitpicking though..anyways... It throws people around, destroys everything in sight, and generally kicks a lot of a*s. Clark tries to punch it, but he gets flung across the barn like a rag doll for his troubles.

Doomsday approaches Chloe, and Jimmy tries to fight back, but gets slashed across the chest for his troubles. That's what you get for trying to be a hero buddy! Oliver finds Clark to tell him that Doomsday has taken Chloe.

In the aftermath, Clark travels through the suddenly very popular hospital and tells Lana that he and Oliver are tracking the monster. Lois goes with Jimmy to see a specialist surgeon after having a tearful farewell with Clark.

Up at the Dark Fortress, Doomsday carries Chloe across the threshold and when she opens her eyes, she doesn't look all that disappointed.

If that wasn't enough excitement, someone is watching the video footage from Chloe's wedding. It's a man hooked up to a whole lot of machines....and he's bald....who can that be? ;-)


What an episode! Smallville is now going on there mid-season hiatus, We'll have to wait until January 15th, 2009 to find out what Doomsday has done with Chloe, is Jimmy ok? what's next for Lois and Clark? with only a few more episodes remaining in the season now, Clark's training should really step up.. which should promise some really exciting episodes in the final half of this season!

Smallville Season 8 Episode 9

Had a real busy night last night, my wireless internet connection has been real crazy, barely staying alive for a couple of seconds before disconnecting itself over and over the last couple of days, I've been trying everything I can to try and remedy the situation, but so far nothing seems to be working..Anyone out there got any ideas? its a Netgear WGR 614 V.4 router, and a D-link DWL G-520 internal PCI wireless adapter running on a windows computer... anyone?

On to this weeks episode of Smallville (as always, if you haven't seen it yet, LEAVE NOW) and what an episode it was, this season just seems to be getting better and better!

Chloe's super hacking brain gets a virus, slowly and suddenly all her memories are being removed so that she wouldn't be able to remember anything or anyone. The people and places she remembers get deleted. Jimmy is bringing Chloe breakfast in bed, but Chloe is really out of it, in a trance like state, until she wakes up in the present and has no idea who Jimmy is and jumps out of bed wanting him to leave.

Ok now If your fiancee couldn't remember who you were, where is the first place you'd go? The hospital? A family member of yours or your fiancee's? a psychiatrists? The police (that might be a bit extreme, what can they really do right? but hey, you're panicing) ? Jimmy heads straight to Clark (Ok, so he does that, but in the past he'd wonder why Chloe would always run to Clark when there was a problem too?) for help!

Chloe is equally stupid, She goes to to Metropolis General Hospital (that was a smart thing) not as a patient though, but posing as a med student looking for the library to study amnesia herself... HEY CHLOE!!! LEAVE THAT STUFF TO PROFESSIONALS!!!! Interestingly enough, she does recognize Davis still (wonder why?)

Clark pays her a visit, and she's acting strange. She pretends to remember things about people, but like it was being read of a list or script...He finds a room filled with an in-depth map of Chloe Sullivan's life to help her remember things. As crazy as she's acting, she's smart enough to recognize what's happening - she's being taken over by Brainiac. Her memories are being replaced by Kryptonian symbols, including one that stands for “doom.” As in “Doomsday.”

Clark hatches a plan to take the Blue Crystal to rebuild the Fortress of Solitude to get Jo-rel's help, but as they're speaking, Chloe loses her memory of seeing Clark catch a car, thus discovering his abilities. Now she has no idea who Kal-El and Brainiac are, or that Clark has super powers.

He speeds off to rebuild the Fortress, that giant cool looking ice building in the arctic that Kal-El calls home. Jor-El welcomes him home, but Clark gets all pissy with his dad about having trust issues. It's amazing how Smallville can turn an intergalactic conversation with a disembodied voice into a stereotypical scene of a teenage boy whining that his dad needs to back off and give him some space.

Davis stops by the apartment hoping to talk to Chloe, but he runs into Jimmy instead, so the paramedic tells him he won’t be able to attend the wedding. Jimmy heads off to Kent Farm where he’s disappointed that Chloe still doesn’t remember him, (yet somehow she knows what Facebook is? I'm just saying... I guess the things that are truly most important to you, stay with you.)

Jimmy takes Chloe to the hospital to get an MRI. Chloe loses another memory, this time of the first time she befriended Clark, which takes us back to an adorable scene of young Clark and young Chloe. He gets her a book she wants, and young Chloe gives him a little kiss. The virus starts deleting this memory, so young Chloe runs far, far away to escape the Brainiac virus eating up her memories. Needless to say, it’s a flawed plan that doesn't work.

She runs to her memory of the Daily Planet on Dark Thursday, the day at the end of season 5 when General Zod escaped the Phantom Zone and released Brainiac’s computer virus that caused a worldwide blackout. That memory vanishes too, and all that’s left now for her, is Davis. I’m getting the sense that Davis being General Zod’s son is only the beginning of the plans Smallville has for Doomsday.

Back in the real world, Chloe finds Davis, the only thing she remembers other than her own name. He takes her back to her apartment, and she’s angry that Davis betrayed her trust. She’s scared of Jimmy and Clark, but Davis knocks her unconscious with an injection. Clark flies her off to the Fortress and begs Jor-El to restore her memories, except for the things about about Krypton.

The world is back to normal, with Chloe and Jimmy going over their wedding’s seating arrangement. Clark stops by, and Chloe calls him “the best looking best man in town.” Jimmy must have no real friends if Clark is his best man.

She runs out to pay for the flowers when she finds Davis, who confesses that he’s not coming to the wedding because he’s in love with her. Dude, this is getting to be a bit stalker-ish. He’s only known her for a few weeks and he’s talking about the connection between them already?. He kisses her, and after taking a second to enjoy it, Chloe tells him to stop (Hey Chloe, something inside you made you at least kiss him back momentarily instead of smacking him right away...think about it) He vows that he won’t give up.

This weeks episode ends with the line: DOOMSDAY HAS ARRIVED

I loved this episode, this season is making me wish this wasn't the last
