A lot of shows don't broadcast titles, but it was common to sci-fi shows - Star Trek, Xena, even The Pretender.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Star Trek? Really? I completely missed it.
I know SG1 does, Buffy/Angel/Smallville don't, and I can't think of any others.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Babylon 5 used to, or anyway after the 1st season. Farscape started doing it some time during its run. Heck, ER always did and I think continues to do so. Not that the titles are memorable.
Babylon 5 had a real knack for (slightly melodramatic, but effective) titles, although the episodes themselves never seemed to live up to the names.
why he named his son Kydd
This is what happens when English Majors go wrong. If he had to name a child after an underappreciated English Renaissance playwright, there were many other options. I don't think a kid named Marlowe would have chances of being beaten up in the 3rd rgade any more than anyone else. But a kid named Kid? Therapy.

I thought it was a reference to how Tarzan named his son Boy.

Word. Although "The Coming of Shadows" was right on the money.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmmm, why couldn't Evil!Red Kryptonite! Clark have gone through a glam phase? You know, instead of an extra petulant phase?

I think it's glittery kryptonite that would provide Glam!Clark.

"Into the Fire" also lived up to the name, IIRC.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heck, Babylon 5 even had titles for it's seasons. In the third season, JMS refused to reveal the title of the final ep (Z'ha'dum) because he thought it would be spoilery.

t tries to imagine Glam!Clark
But even with my boys-in-eyeliner kink, I think I'd still need Lex in the picture to make it the whole sex bomb... therefore I could see Clark pulling off the look convincingly if Lex had his sexy way with Clark for a few sweaty hours before they decided to get dressed and go clubbing.
Yes, this.
