Review: Smallville Episode 3.10 “Whisper” and 3.11 “Delete” Posted

Paul Talon — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:29:06 +0000

The unique to Smallville recurring episode theme – The discovering a power episode. In this case, Clark is sort of pushed into discovering his super-hearing.

“Delete”

“Delete” is a great episode to the mythology of Smallville. If only it was handled better. It started out very well. Bringing back the villainous Dr. Garner from Sommerholt Institute was a good touch. It seems that even as Lionel fires Chloe from the Daily Planet column, she has the goods that she is going to publish on Garner’s less than ethical methodology.

Episode 3.09 Smallville – “Asylum” Review Posted

“Asylum”

Asyulm is mostly a good episode that has an abrupt ending to what could have been a more interesting story if explored further.

In Belle Reave Lex is adjusting to life in the institution even as his father and doctor scheme to continue to drug him, eventually deciding to give him electric shock therapy.

Episode 3.08 – Smallville – “Shattered” up

“Shattered”

A gripping hour of television with just enough groundwork that it doesn’t quite come out of nowhere. We open with Lex finding the still alive Morgan Edge after he had plastic surgery to hide his identity. He threatens Morgan that he has proof that Lionel and Edge were behind the deaths of Lex’s grandparents (Lionel’s parents).

Smallville 3.07 Review Up

“Magnetic”

Ho hum. Magnetic is truly the archetype of Smallville freak of the weak filler. There is nothing strikingly bad about the episode, but there is nothing truly memorable either.

We get another new and creative way to infect a Smallville resident to give him powers that influence said resident to abuse his gifts and Clark has to find a way to stop him.

“Relic”

I certainly have to hand it to the writers. After languishing in freak of the week mode, it looks they tried their best to come up with differing storylines and it works. I’m not certain if I’m liking the episodes even more than I would given that it’s lifted the series out of a doldrums of sorts, but I am finding that I am digging them.
