I haven't finished the Smallville ep, and it looks like the last half hour is more interesting than the first.
Doesn't Clark know what stalking looks like?
And Chloe has rocked. She's saucy.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

On Lana and Pete and the comicverse from what I recall Pete and Lana don't end up together until way later into their adult life - so it makes sense that there is no chemistry between them.
Chloe is totally growing on me. Which is a 100% surprise because I loved her in the scripts and hated her on the show (I got into Smallville buy reading shooting srcripts - not actually watching).
I noticed this was a freelance writer - and yes - it felt totally like a S1 ep. Except the Lex and Chloe bits.

Wait wait wait. You guys are saying that last week's mutant of the week could manipulate metal and influence people's minds? Huh. Somebody didn't calibrate the FreakPower scale correctly. That's, like, archvillain power.

They did some magnetism conflation, I fear.

There was much speculation on Kryptonsite that Seth magnetic mutant boy was supposed to be Magneto and I have read spoilers that indicate that another Xmen character will be on this season. I am now not recalling which one - I think the power is voice related - Syren? And Clark spoiler that the episode with the voice mutant will be the one where Clark realizes he has super hearing. (Oh how dull that is to write much less to watch.)
It is not clear that these characters are supposed to be nods to comicverse characters or the actual characters themselves like Perry and Morgan Edge. Or just super blatant rip offs.
eta: I got my birth year post #. And I am super fuzzy on these spoilers. I read them months ago - I should go double check. And I will.

Go team memory!
From krypton site for Smallville 3.10
* "Whisper," eh? How much do you want to bet this is the "Clark gets super hearing" episode?
* The episode's FOTW, Nathan Dean, has the power to emit a loud shriek/scream, much like Siryn or Banshee of the X-Men.

They make a point of naming the Marvel Comics characters that sounds similar to, but DC's Black Canary got there first .

Yes, Black Canary was first.

So, this remake of Battlestar Gallactica they're running on Sci Fi next month?
They've decided to make Starbuck female, so there can be sexual tension between her and Apollo. Obviously these people haven't been watching Smallville. They didn't need to turn Starbuck female to accomplish that...

And thinking of it now - there was PLENTY of sexual tension between the original Starbuck and Apollo.
B.G. was my absolute favorite show as a kid. I SWORE I was going to name my first daughter Casseopia.
I don't like the idea of Starbuck as a girl. Is she gonna be big ho? Because Starbuck was all about the easy lay.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Has anyone found a decent OC transcript site? Because I've decided that I really need an exchange from last week's ep, and of course I've already trashed the file, and Google is giving me no love (but giving me repeated hits on an ugly-assed site with exactly one transcript up).
Sigh. I've been so spoiled by fandoms full of obsessive geeks with actual skills.
