"Smallville" on The CW Network, starring Tom Welling

It was what it was! Only a few episodes of Smallville on The CW are left and we had to deal with Zod and a powerless Clark Kent!  Having thought we’ve seen the last of Zod, it was surprising and worrisome all at once. With Clark and Oliver headed willingly into the phantom zone, it was daring, even for our yellow sun powered hero.

Yet in they went. This time around, I enjoyed Callum Blue‘s portrayal of Smallville‘s Zod. It seemed different and to me, a more enjoyable version. He had a different edge to himself this time around. Less sneering, more glaring looks or something like that.

The altercation that erupted between Clark and Oliver was quite Spartacus-like. The entire gladitorial scenario reminded me of a a toned down Starz Spartacus. The fight choreography wasn’t bad either.

SMALLVILLE

The season finale of Smallville starts in a dream sequence of Clark’s (Tom Welling), taking place in 2013 and I was really worried.    Then back in the real world of Smallville, Zod (Callum Blue) tricks Lois (Erica Durance) into spying on Clark and Clark lets Chloe (Allison Mack) know that the “Book of Rao” is not a book but a key that opens a gate to another dimension.  It will suck all Kryptonians away.    (Yes, this season finale review of “Salvation” contains spoilers.)

Tess (Cassidy Freemen) tries to kill Zod up in the Fortress of Solitude… and fails miserably as Zod fries her with his favorite toy, his heat vision.  Clark finds her and takes her to a hospital.

SMALLVILLE episode ‘Checkmate’, A Perspective Review from Cinema Static

April 10, 2010

When Smallville’s episode titled “Checkmate” opened, I found the stop / slow motion panels to be interesting. I think they were well used up front in the teaser and thankfully, we weren’t treated to them throughout the episode.  We were dealt more stop-motion / comic panels later on near the end of “Checkmate” and again, [...]

Sanctuary Season Finale – “Kali”

January 16, 2010

Sanctuary capped off their 2nd season with a humdinger of a 2-hour season-finale episode that involved a tiny spider, a huge spider, mystics in training, Major Zod… I mean Callum Blue and a seriously hot looking mystic interpretation of Big Bertha named Kali, played by the very beautiful Sahar Biniaz. There’s trouble in paradise, or [...]

The Lois kiss clip is after the [...]
