JINX (S4E07) Nonconsensual Evil, Worst Villain Ever & Glorified Product Placement #smallville #talkville #season4 - Zábava
R.I.P. to Smallville's Toyman Chris Gauthier who passed 2/23.
What?!?
Really sad when I heard he passed away.
What a loss great actor
He was so good in Eureka.
and supernatural and once upon time and more... legend for all time ..always
“I think this was the worst time in music” - Rosenbaum
me: 😮
Part of why i love Smallville is the 2000s post-grunge music. It’s part of my soul now.
I have CD’s that I made full of Smallville songs
I agree, great music ❤
He couldn't be more wrong about the music of the era.
How does no one mention the best line in the damn episode. "I didn't bet against you, I bet on Clark Kent"
Ikr!!!!
Good call.
Tom would tell you but the worst product placement on Smallville was the cringey one with Stride Gum and that being how Pete returned on the show with super powers
Spearmint stride gum has been dubbed Kryptonite-free gum in my family ever since that episode aired
I cannot wait to hear Rosenbaum give Welling the gears for his "party dancing" in Spell lol
That party dancing was convincing though ... The fist pump really sold it, along with the look on his face.
Well, we were warned in Rosetta that he was a terrible dancer
Love this podcast. The banter between Tom, Michael and Ryan is hilarious. 🤣🤣
Thanks for the shout out guys. I had a blast working with @tomwelling on this one. Glad to see you're all doing great. Now, "Come on, you're missing the party!" LoL
You are awesome alongside Tom in "Jinx" throughout the episode!
You did great 🎉
I can’t stop laughing at how they all try to say Mxyzptlk!
This is actually the second time Clark stumbles. The first time was in the pilot episode while he got too close to Lana's necklace
Yeah, he should have said without kryptonite, because everyone remembers him tripping in the pilot.
Great catch
@@jkhoover Perhaps he didn't need to say that because he was speaking to his parents and assumed it was understood, not an audience full of nitpickers :P
He also tripped going down the stairs while looking at Alicia as they ended their date in Obsession.
@@zachkleyh1295 oh, you are right. ;) But Tom mentioned, that wasnt in the script for Clark, he did that choice as an actor or it was a real tripping :D
“Rosenbaum has played Lex longer than every live-action Lex Luthor on this list, and may be the best example of how to portray Superman's greatest foe adequately.” -Screen Rant
Nuff said…
I think it’s so funny that last episode no one batted an eye when Clark acted so weird for days, and this episode he trips and they automatically know something is wrong.
Lol
Yea because Clark doesn't trip unless there's kryptonite especially when it's going to hurt someone doing it
Definitely one of the best slow mo scenes of the show. The way Clarke effortlessly pushes Mxyz and breaks the chain is so cool!
I'm really surprised nobody - not the guys, not the callers - talked more about that scene. To me that scene is insane, and now I feel like I'm the only one who even thought twice about it! (Thank you Mark for acknowledging it haha.) This is SO MUCH MORE superspeed than we've ever seen before. Clark disappears from PLAIN VIEW OF A STADIUM OF PEOPLE to do superhero shit and gets back before anyone notices. That is MADNESS! That is a GAME. CHANGER. This is the definitive "so why do you need any other power but superspeed?" scene. I can't believe they just kind of strolled past it in the discussion haha. At least it was RFS, but even that seemed reluctant.
@st In season 3 resurrection, Clark had similar scene where he did ridiculous speed where he take the bomb out from the hospital after the trigger is pushed.
And these scenes filmed a way before quicksilver scenes from х-men.
@@CursorXP5 But this was different that when he took the bomb outside because it showed it from the outside looking in, meaning just the speed. In this one it was incredible because it showed it from the way he sees the world when he runs everything is frozen. I do wished they would have talked about it more because most of time apart from the Emily episode (where he steps into super mode and the rain freezes) we only see the speed in the form of a blur. Basically he ran out saved day - ran back to his position and then pretend to take a dive when he was hit lol, that is so cool.
I think you guys missed that this episode gave us the first glimpse of 33.1. You mentioned we hadn’t seen Level 3 since season 1, but this isn’t level 3. It’s 33.1, which was a focus of season 6 and 7. I’m surprised none of the callers brought this up.
The way Clark stood up for himself when his father confronted him is epic. He’s Superman. But had so much respect for his father and his father had so much respect for his son and the responsibility Clark has.
Season 4 is so iconic ❤😍
My favorite season with 5 close behind
The final scene with Boulevard of Broken Dreams playing is so epic, I absolutely love it ❤ the whole football plot this season is amazing
one of my favourite scenes ❤
Amazing music in the whole show
Also how Clark told his father how much he holds himself back and how he can never understand that.
KICKING MYSELF! 🙈🙈 Shoulda called in for this one - interesting thing of note, Lex says “there’s nothing that’s lost that can’t be found again” he repeats that exact same line to Kara in season 7.
Tom saying Dracula's line from Hotel Transylvania was so adorable 😆
When?
Noting Tom's observing that Clark ran faster than he did against The Flash from a previous episode, I don't know if the creators did this on purpose, but Clark has pushed passed limits when his friends and loved ones are in danger. So knowing that Chloe was about to die, he pushed through his normal speed to become even faster.
Great show guys.
"Run" established that Flash relies on the fact he can zip in and out without anyone seeing. But this is the first time we see Clark move FROM PLAIN VIEW and BACK without anyone seeing he was gone! I don't know if it's faster but it was certainly the most ballsy as hell he's been exploiting his super speed haha. To me this one was a game changer about what his super speed is really capable of - which the rest of the show never really acknowledged, nor did this podcast!
A lot of people are saying he ran faster but I don't think he did, he ran the same - the only difference is we saw it from his perspective.. We know know that if Clark wanted to he could run to a store and if he doesn't stop he can come back and stand back at the same position he was before he left, and you wouldn't be any wise he moved. The only you would know that he moved is because he never comes back to the same spot but if he did you wouldn't even see it. This is how the little girl Emily is able to stand in front of you and when you turn around she is behind you because she moves so faster that your eyes can't pick her up. She tried this with Clark but Clark could track her.
@@jerodast Imagine how fast Bart is and that he so much faster than Clark, when Clark was looking at the picture, Bart stole the picture right in front of him, he zipped in in front of Clark while Clark had his face right next to painting and stole the picture. He must have been so faster that even Clark was a statue.
Magic affecting Clark for the very first time with this episode.
And next week it gets 3 times worse.
And the next one…..oh boy
@@HappyGuy343 yes I know. The big bad in season 4 was supposed to be Margotte Kidder's character that we saw in the first episode, but when Chris Reeve passed away she didn't want to stay so her character was killed off the Teague family. So Jane Seymour stepped in and filled the antagonist role for the final stretch of the episodes. You kind of had that Somewhere in Time sort of reunion but didn't happen. Also Jeannot Szwarc who directed some of the episodes directed Somewhere in Time as well as the Supergirl film starring Helen Slater who will appear as Lara-El in season 7 and 9 of the show.
Good catch!
Or it would have been if it were magic rather than some form of scientific mumbo-jumbo involving ultrasound frequencies...
Next week’s episode is gonna be hilarious watching Rosey rip into the witch storyline 😂
I can’t wait!!! I’m so excited 😂😂😂
Nah wait till the resident evil spoof he's gonna shred it
I've been waiting for it all season. It's almost sad how excited he seems about it here.
That story arc almost made me stop watching the series. I hated the witch story arc.
CAN NOT WAIT!!!
The ending was really cool and creepy. Like I love that we know they are in 33.1. What we don’t know is what he saw. Like it could be other “meteor freaks” walking freely or it could be them in cages…and what’s he going to do? Such a cool Lex scene. It could totally be like “yeah you’re mine and not going anywhere ever again” that’s so Lex
I like the ending of that play because you have to realize that not only did Clark just "take the hit," that means he also made a conscious decision to fly backwards so the guy tackling him didn't break his shoulder all in the same moment.
Like you guys said earlier, that is all character Superman character.
The Green Day song was NOT even on the radio yet when this episode aired
I had to rewatch the episode on VHS so many times so I could google them . I was a senior in HS at this . BLVD of broken dreams was like there 3rd or 4th single off this album .
Just googled it and that’s actually really cool and kinda crazy. This episode released Nov 3rd 2004 and the single Boulevard of Broken Dreams released Nov 29th 2004 so it wasn’t just before the radio but before it was officially released also
Actually looks like Wikipedia has conflicting info and I’m also seeing the single was released Sept 7th. Still very close
I remembered this from highschool. That is the one song playing during an episode I do remember. Everyone was talking about it the next day at school lol
Definitely memorable and not noise but oh welllll
I cannot WAIT for spell!! 😂😂 literally been waiting since they started the pod for them to talk about Clark dancing in the barn. There was a great commentary on that episode on the old dvd sets
"Hey come on in, join the party! Woo!!!!!" lmao
Yes! That commentary is so funny!
Commentary>>>>episode 😂
The scene with Tom/Clark getting dressed to enter the playing field to the tune of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams is a beautiful and iconic scene and one of my favourites❤❤❤. There couldn't have been a better choice of music for Clark's broken impossible dream, to be like the other guys and play serene his match, to be a human being. I've always compared the way Clark dresses to a knight wearing his armor and how he takes to the field with the fear and anguish that each time could be his last but still with courage and pride. It always makes me realize how hard life is for a hero with such powers and how alone he is. Really, really a very beautiful and sad scene. Immediately afterwards, the confrontation between Clark and Jonathan, between father and son, is also very beautiful. ❤❤❤
"JINX" is a GREAT episode, and Tom ROCKED as Clark throughout the entire episode in every single scene! The "Old Spice" scene is absolutely phenomenal, and "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day is truly one of the biggest songs in the world! Ryan's Favorite Scene where "Clark saves the day and makes the play" is another unparalleled scene that will be seen once again in the Series Finale too! Thanks for keeping this Talk Ville even more entertaining with all the different accents!
The song works perfectly with what clark is going through where it says I walk a lonely road.
@@Haileystimpson Absolutely! "I walk a lonely road; the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me, and I walk alone."
The moment Michael hit legend status: Laces out Finckle 😂😂😂
Every time I have to face a difficult situation, like a presentation of a final project in college or a job interview, just before that, I watch the clip of Clark getting ready for the game in the locker room, I have had it downloaded in every cell phone I've had, sets me in battle mode every time, it's my favorite Clark scene of the entire show, it's perfect, the song selection was perfect as well, amazing performance Tom. And then at the end of the episode my favorite Lex's quote in the introduction of 33.1: "There's nothing that's lost that can't be found again" I love this episode.
I really loved the Greenday playing in the background while Clark was getting ready for his match. I also enjoyed the football scenes and this was when I started suspecting that Lex has some sort of interest in Lana. Thanks again guys ❤️
Only now? Hmmm I think you might have the same hilarious denial Shades that Rosenbaum has on 😅 mind you it could have had to do with age at the time of watching 🤔
Feel a little bad for the guy at 31:48. Didn't really get his question answered. Most of the response was no need for russian accent, go with what works, fright night and fast times at ridgemont high lol.
The reason Mxyzptlk decides to confront Clark, is because even making him trip didn't avoid his victory. So Mxyzptlk needs to ensure he wins the 1M.
Not sure if you're referring to the same conversation I'm thinking of, but also, the reason he doesn't just extort Lex is he wants Lex to be his patron. Lex could basically have him killed if he starts just forcing checks out of him. He wants a rich ally. Clark is just a target.
The football scene at the end of the episode with Greenday playing was one of the best parts of this one, as was Clark's epic Super save of Chloe during the game. Happy Wednesday guys!!😀😀🙏🙏
31:07 this was me! I meant that I graduated from the actual Topeka West high school in Topeka, KS 😂
I think they figured it out in the end haha, even if they were doing their usual thing only half listening to callers :P
By the way I just re-read a recap of this episode, one I followed when they were still airing. The guy wrote "Topeka West? I was going to make fun of them until I Googled them and realized it's a real school. So, hats off Topeka West. You got a great program over there...that I know nothing about." Didn't remember that, but made me laugh after hearing your call :) Kudos to Omar G for doing his research before mocking schools on TV, and hats off to you!
Gilbert Goddfried who voiced him and challenged Superman to say his name backwards so hilarious.
In the cartoon series yes
Watched it yesterday
You know what could have been fun, though probably out of place for Smallville? He’s an inter dimensional being right? Maybe have him come to the Smallville universe to get to Clark before he’s Superman with Gilbert reprising his role. It would be goofy but less lame then what we got.
@@seastriker4437 from the 5th dimension lol.
@@seastriker4437 , dude, that would have been awesome! would have been a goofy episodes, probably would have fit fine for a later season once more heroes and people with ability outside of smallville/kryptonite powers were showing up more
I think it was a pretty cool episode, I know it’s essentially another “freak of the week” episode but I thought the ending with Clark running and doing everything in “Clark time” in about 3 seconds was pretty cool, we actually got a timer on relatively how fast he is (in seconds) rather then “he is super fast” like in most episodes.
The ending makes this one of the most noteworthy episodes of the show IMO. That scene made me think they should do an entire episode that takes place in one minute of Clark just zooming across the world to save the day. Because that's apparently how fast he goes. That guy tackling him? Didn't move more than a HAIR while Clark did his thing. That is crazy. That is not slow motion, that is time frozen. I understand why you can basically toss the rest of the episode (although I like how we saw a little progression of Chloe realizing how dangerous the guy was which was genuinely unsettling), but that scene is definitive.
It’s framed like a freak of a week but the bad guy is actually a major character in Superman lore. Though he’s a magical imp not a Russian monster cat person
@@jerodastright? Everyone’s eyes are on Clark at that moment. Shouldn’t he appeared to have blipped for a second?
@@jerodast, I agree :)
"I DON'T SAY BLAH BLAH BLAH" hahahahaha
It's really peculiar how much of season 6 this episode sets up: We get the 33.1 tease and we finally realize that Lex is infatuated with Lana. The closing shot is one of Rosenbaum's best acting expressions because it makes you wonder how far he's willing to go.
Jinx is one of those episodes that gets better every time you watch it. The football storyline gets wrapped up in a very fitting manner, Clark performs one of his most impressive feats of heroism yet, Jonathan and Clark have a very poignant passing of the torch moment (awesome acting by Tom and John) and of course...Green Day!
I’ve never thought about it from that perspective. Great insight!
@@pferdkennedy9154 I remember Smallville fans being so pissed when the 33.1 thing wasn't revisited after this episode. And then we got to Season 6 and thankfully they remembered!
I found the accent more grating this time than the last times I watched it, maybe I've had more of my fill of cheesy accents haha. Still enjoyed it. Honestly I don't really buy the passing the torch of responsibility though - Clark is dead-ass wrong deciding to play after finding he's a risk to seriously hurt someone. He's a kid making kid decisions, which is fine, but Jonathan saying "you're a man now!" was not earned to me. They'd never even tested the device that stops Mikhael, the only thing keeping others safe from Clark! The whole thing was based on a wild supposition that he's is powered by cricket noises! What 🤣🤣
@@Costas22 I still remember hearing AFI - Prelude 12/21 for the first time on the show, it's been in my bookmarks since, not my favorite song but perfect for that scene, I was glad they brought it back too. Honestly I'm surprised to hear you tell me it's not til season 6 because when I watched this one last week I assumed we'd see 33.1 again by the end of the season haha. Weren't we dealing with actual alien invaders by season 6, what's Lex still doing with a zoo full of Kryptomutants that late in the game!
This was utter chaos and I’m here for it. 🤣
This was one of my favorite episodes. A long-established villain making an appearance as a young man and being a real threat to local Smallville citizens at every chance he gets. Loved how this guy portrayed Mxyzptlk. A creepy, predatory, opportunist.
I’m glad somebody called out how fast Clark had to be running. Way faster than when he was running with Bart.
the continuous accents throughout this episode killed me 🤣🤣
I cannot tell you how many times ive watched this series!! Whenever i was depressed this show got me through, thank you, truly
Michael shouting out Dark is so great. I love that show
Dark is becoming one of those shows that I know I am very likely to love, but I've heard enough people recommend it that now I'm afraid I won't 😑
Also I feel a little jealous of it compared to the completely underappreciated _Counterpart_ with JK Simmons, which was out at almost the same time but nobody saw it because it was on Starz, and also deals with weird shit set in Germany. (That one's almost all English language though.)
Me too!!!
This does have the best "clark time" scene.
I think you guys should record callers saying "Always hold on to Smallville..."
I appreciate my question making the podcast, but they did not answer it. I specifically said my question was about Clark's discussion with John, but Tom talked about the time in the locker room. I think that Clark's response about 'No matter how hard you try, you can't understand' was his definitive decision to do what he knew was right, not what his father instructed him to do. It was his coming-of-age moment in my mind. Love the show and the podcast, but I notice the guys don't always listen to the questions and therefore don't really answer them. Love you guys, anyway.
They almost never answer the question as written lol
How was this "what he knew was right" haha. He literally wanted to win a football game. They had no clue if Chloe's cricket theory made a god damn lick of sense. Clark is in "I'm a high school senior and My Team Is The Most Important Thing In Reality" mode right here 🤣🤣
(And if the justification is "well Mikhael said he'd hurt people if I don't play" he coulda just said that and saved the philosophical speeches.)
"My powers are so inaccurate!" 😂
One part I definitely thought y’all were gonna touch on just a little bit more, the conversation between Jonathan and Clark right after Clark walks out of the locker room. The craziest sentence that Clark says is, “every handshake. Every hug. Every time I’m out on that field I make a conscious decision to fall when those guys hit me so THEY don’t get hurt. No matter how hard you try you’ll never be able to understand that”.
Like, I know Tom was like 29 at the time of season four, but imagine being a teenager having to think about that. Like being so strong and sturdy, and what not because of your alien heritage/powers, you have to remind yourself to basically just let your body fall when a human being hit you , so they don’t get hurt
Clark getting ready for the game and talking with his dad about why it’s got to be his decision is the best scene by far.
Before I even start this episode, I'm going to throw out my two favorite scenes from it. The one where Clark tells Jonathan, "Every handshake, every hug, every time I'm out on that field I make a conscience decision to fall when those guys hit me so they don't get hurt. No matter how hard you try you can't understand that" - that single line made me go back and rethink every interaction he had up to that point. Absolutely phenomenal writing and acting.
And the second was when Clark is moving so fast that at Quicksilver like speed he runs off the field, saves Chloe, KO's the bad guy, and returns to the exact same spot so no one even knows anything happened. Like the first time he flew, this was true fan service showing his power. (yes, I know Quicksilver is from Marvel, but in the X-Men movies his scenes still top any other speedster's scenes in any movie.)
It's funny how Evan Peters (Quicksilver in the Fox X-Men movies) is a distant cousin of Tom's and they've both played superheroes with super-speed.
That quote is one of the best in the series. And for me when I think about it, Clark has superhuman strength, so he is _daily_ reigning in his strength. It's a testament to characters who have that ability not to hurt regular people, like with a handshake, in order to fit in and seem like a regular human. They have to make that conscience effort to do that every day.
I’d say ZSJL Flash when he reversed time after the motherboxes vaporized Earth and the Justice League
I was glad Clark stood up to Jonathan about the incident at the end of the game, because he is always in control of his powers and as hard as it was for him to accept that, Jonathan knows he was right.
Fun fact: Howie Mandel played Mxyzptlk on a 4th season episode of "Lois & Clark," a Christmas episode entitled "Twas the Night Before Mxymas". :)
That was a good episode.
Man I loved that series.
@@botofwarcraft3837 You're thinking of the season 2 Christmas episode "Season's Greedings" with Sherman Hemsley as The Toyman. But yeah, that's also a good episode. 🙂
Thanks for using my question guys!😁 This episode of the podcast was so hilarious, I literally spewed coffee everywhere because I was drinking my coffee and started busting up laughing 🤣! I really enjoyed it...Talkville episode gets 🌹🌹🌹... Smallville episode Jinx gets 🌹.
There came to be a lot of episodes that were duds but the ending scene would totally redeem the episode in a way and define the episodes to come. Love this freaking show.
“Lexual healing”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
I was so looking forward to this. 😅 I love how Mxyzptlk was not pronounced correctly ONCE this entire episode. Haha.
TBH this could've been a hero moment for the editor cutting in the clip from the show of him slowly enunciating his name to Chloe, every single time one of our boys stumbles on it haha. I guess that would've gotten old but I woulda laughed my ass off.
The scene wherein Clark suits up to Green Day reminds me of the suit-up scene in Rollerball where we see Jonathan E all alone before the world championship game that has been rigged to kill him, his team, and the other team as well. Clark even has Jonathan Kent playing the Bartholomew to his Jonathan E telling him to quit.
“Jinx Albright” Thursday nights on CBS, after the premiere of Tracker!
“You just got JINXed Detective!”
Tracker is good!!!
Would watch - lol!
I totally agree with Michael, doing the last scene in the 4th quarter with the villian thinking it's all good the whole time would have been better.
Just found this podcast the other day, I watched the show growing up with my brother, and my dad was always a great night when smallville was on. Re-watching the series now a lot older definitely gives me a newfound appreciation for the show. Especially watching the tv episode and then listening to the podcast, i hope this continues right until the series ends, and i can catch up fast enough to ask some questions
You guys were so funny in this podcast ep! 😆 Side note… I totally get what Tom means about getting yourself in into situations that you knew instinctually you should’ve avoided, especially as a parent.
Oh good, we're finally ready to get "Spell" out of the way. Here comes the Baums, here comes the Baums!
The guys sound like they're looking forward to it too 😁 I hope they embrace the ridiculousness, which TBH they could do a little more of on some of the other random not-great episodes!
Dark is so good!
the green day song when clark had to save the day went hard af. this episode also showed how strong clark is becoming
This podcast makes me happy! I discovered Smallville, loved it then found this. Started from the beginning and finally caught up. Looking forward to following for a long time.
Very good to see Michael more positive and happy
He seems more content in himself
Positive energy and thinking can literally change your life you should all try it
*EVEN* when sht is happening to you in life just smile and laugh at it and think fk you shitty times and laugh
👍👍👍👍
Lexual Healing HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Old Superman Animated series special features, Paul Dini taught me how to say the name: Mix-Yes-Spit-Lick
Love the show, really can’t wait for episode 11 & 12. You so need Sarah Carter on these episodes, especially ep 12. Such a mint and underrated character!!!
JINX was one of my favorite episodes and I loved when Boulevard of Broken Dreams was played when Clark was making his way onto the field. The ending was a cliffhanger of sorts 33.1 this became a significant part to Lexs story later on in the series love the podcast I give this episode 1 rose 🌹
Smallville was the only thing keeping me uptodate on recent pop music rock, the last one was a UK show called Being Human I only watched because Sam Witwer was going to start the USA version of it like the way The Office was duplicated into US TV
Another week!! Thanks for doing this guysss❤
My favorite episode because of the slow motion scene. Shows just what Clark can do.
Episode 1/2 to 1ish roses. Slow mo save, 3 roses :) Even if it brings up a whole host of questions about why he doesn't solve every problem ever instantly haha.
I enjoy this show so much. I love the analysis as always. Keep up the great work.
Last week I got all caught up from binge watching all the podcasts and episodes to this point, I had a hard time waiting for the new podcast. I was expecting it to air wed night at 7 but when my phone told me it aired at 7 am I was super excited l. I got to start my day with these wonderful actors commenting on one of my favorite shows❤️thank you so much guys for doing this podcast!
20:21 I love these what if his powers just acted randomly (as he only ever says a one word command which could be misinterpreted lol)
This is a good episode!! Listened to the podcast earlier and absolutely loved it ❤ Amazing as always ❤️ Thank you for the laughs ❤ Love this podcast so much ❤❤❤ Going to watch the video now. Thank you guys!!! ❤ Happy Talk Ville Wednesday ❤☄️🌽
YAY! I discovered this podcast in late January or early February and I have finally caught up! Keep up the great work!
I liked this episode because it showed Clark playing football and the song was really great when the boulevard of broken dreams comes on . a very iconic scene
Nate on the Smallville football team is Jared Keeso, of the popular Canadian TV shows, Letterkenny & Shorsey.
Also, I absolutely love Rosey's and Ryan's Russian accents. So very well done. And quite hilarious, I may add. Had me laughing at quite a few moments. 😀😀
Lex making margaritas too funny 😂
Thank you for this podcast. Always a treat listening to your fun filled analysis every week. Love you guys! TGFTVW ❤️❤️🙏.
Watching the guys make these discoveries about characters and adaptations of classic Superman lore is so entertaining because of how removed they are from this stuff.
30:08 why did I get so excited when Lana rhymes with Banana made an appearance lol
I remember when this first aired, I actually didn't like how fast Clark was saving the day in this episode when we'd just seen only a couple of episodes earlier how much faster Bart was. It felt inconsistent and like they decided to just massively amp up Clark's speed for one episode. Clark was definitely moving fast enough here that he could have run across water, same as Bart did when Clark wasn't able to catch him because he did precisely this.
I loved it because it looked cool as hell and was impressive to use his powers that way, but I do think it blows up a lot of the logic of the show haha. The fact is probably no typical comic book stories with super speed heroes are really logical, it's just too strong.
I will say I don't think Clark COULDN'T run across water, I just think he'd never done it and was too hesitant to try / didn't even occur to him to try until Bart was already too far gone.
I really felt disappointed that we didn't get to see more of Mr. Mxyzptlk in the future season of Smallville. I didn't like the whole one note guest spot and to be never heard again.
yesssss i looked up his character on smallville wiki and it looks like he was deported but him coming back would have been epic..
I forget if we found out about anyone in 33.1 that actually had like, restored powers. To be honest it just occurred to me on this like, 4th or 5th watch of the episode: the guy should be SHATTERED that his "talent" is gone. I mean literally dictating actions, as subtle or as in your face as you want it to be? You're set for life, really! And suddenly that's just gone? It would be devastating! You'd be un-made, as a person! What is your identity anymore, if you've lived your whole life with those powers and now you're just a mediocre Normal?? So yeah he's a bit more meek at the end with Lex, but man I wouldn't blame him for being in a MUCH worse state.
@@jerodastgreat insight
38:17 callers voice made me think that Phyllis from The Office just called in
When I was watching this episode, my wife really hated Mxyzptlk's accent. She called fake right away. I really liked the conversation between Clark and Jonathan. Jonathan doesn't really know what Clark has to do everyday to control his powers and it really hit home. I did like how they changed around Mxyzptlk's background but I remember Howie Mandel playing him in Lois and Clark the New Adventures of Superman. I didn't like how Lana totally disregarded Clark saying he didn't say anything about her relationship with Jason. I loved the Chloe save scene and that is what makes me give this episode a rose.
Agree. Like also the father's son moments of this épisode
Lana is a get mad first calm down later kind of person.
I actually enjoyed this episode just as much as I did when it first aired back in the day... Mister Mxyzptlk is a Superman villain so I understood immediately when I watched the episode for the 1st time... Always cool seeing Clark and Chloe working together again 😊... I did like how it was mentioned about last episode lol
Chloe: "Don't worry Clark, you can stay"
Clark: "I thought you had some self-imposed restraining order against me... Does this mean that you're talking to me again?"
Chloe: "It just means that I'm willing to take a chance on your Dr. Jekyll side today"
Definitely an underrated scene lol... I love the "clashing" advice he's received from Jonathan then from Martha 😊... Also finding out that there's more to Mister Mxyzptlk than meets the eye as he has info about Lionel, which is why Lex keeps him around... The big brother-little brother convos that Lex and Clark have (especially about Jason and Lana) I always enjoy 😎... This episode really highlights how special Clark is and how he's able to compartmentalize his responsibilities (convincing his Dad on why he has to go thru with the game, keeping his focus on the field and saving Chloe in the speed time 😎)... Despite receiving props from his parents and earning back Chloe's trust, Clark still didn't come out unscathed as Lana accuses Clark for getting Jason fired... The last scene when Clark questions Lex why he got Jason fired and Lex giving a smirk just before the end credits was cool and kinda funny 😂😂😂... All in all, I give this episode 🌹1/2 (1.5 roses)... #LoveThePodcastFellas #TalkvilleWednesdays
I don't really understand how anyone who's heard of Mxyzptlk can NOT recognize this character as a direct reference to him if they're actually listening to the dialogue haha. One of the guys, I think Ryan, muttered something like "well if they were referencing something it could've been more clear" but for the love of god, man, look at his name, how much more clear could it be?
Haha cheers to all the hotline ppl who wanna discuss the progress of Lex and Lana's relationship in nearly every Talkville episode! I'm with y'all on this, their storyline's always drawn my attention, too.
Also, Ryan's imitation of a Russian accent was the closest approach imo
Yeah, Ryan surprised me didn't know he could do accents and Tom just saying "oh no or was it oh god" when Ryan started replying to Michael who was doing also doing a Russian accent was funny.
Another fun one. Thanks guys!
9:58 They name dropped ShopRite on the Smallville podcast, wow; absolutely wild to hear an actor I watched as a kid say a store I only knew as a kid. what is life?
I don't think this was the "worst" product placement moment in the series. In season 6 EP.12 "Labyrinth", Chloe, when trying to help save Clark from captors, blatantly tells him to "... take my Toyota Yaris!" in an effort to escape. Despite this, the episode overall was good and I was able to stay tied into the story. I just remember that moment all these years later.
The football tryouts are in Devoted and then three eps later in Jinx we have the state championship already? Shortest season in the history of high school football. 😆
It seemed even shorter because we only see Clark play in one game prior to Jinx. So there wasn't enough football to really sell the journey of his achievement. This would've been better in the ep 12-14 range after more games.
I used to think the same thing but looking back it’s not too far off, although yes a bit rushed. High school football seasons usually are only Sept-Late Oct with post season happening in Nov maybe Dec. If the whole season takes the span over a year it kinda makes sense to rush it
You all seem to be having so much fun talking about this episode it was interesting enough 🌹 super speed again was good nice to get more of the level 33.1 again good calm back
When Rosenbaum mentioned "Dark" i know he has a great taste in movies or shows
Howie Mandell played Mister Mxyzptlk in "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman".
Another awesome podcast - good episode 🌹
