Smallville tackles psychotic relationships this week as Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling revisit Season 3 Episode 14: OBSESSION!
After the guys gush over their time on set with the wonderful Sarah Carter, they analyze some of Tom’s noticeable giddiness in scenes throughout the episode.
Michael talks about the plastic butcher knife horror scenes and questions why Lana stays in her own psychotic relationship.
Tom gives props to certain choices taken by Allison and remembers how they got an honest reaction to the ‘Jonathan walking in on his son’ scene in the episode.

RESURRECTION (S3E15) Back From the Dead, Slow-Mo Lead Blankets & Lex Being Extremely Creepy #smallville #talkville #season3 - Zábava
As someone who can’t afford to support on Patreon I want to thank everyone who does! 💯 I love this podcast & I know I wouldn’t have it without you guys! ♥️
appreciate your support every week here pal
It's funny that you say that because I was thinking the same thing. Every once in awhile I think about getting the top tier for a month just to help out but unfortunately I have to put my bills first so I always write a review about the episode and Michael, Tom and Ryan's take just to help out in my own little way.
What Obi said! Family, life bills that are getting out of sight with inflation on everything from food to insurance makes it hard to support the things I love on CZcams, but I'm very thankful that others can. So to those who are able to pay, thank you!
Me as well. Just have too many bills to contribute any rn unfortunately but hopefully will be there before season 10!
❤❤ 💯
Clark: Saves the entire hospital
Death/Save count: That still only counts as one!
One of things that I want to say is regardless of how good or a bad an episode is I always enjoy listening to this podcast.
bad episodes can be fun too :)
Martha is always letting people stay with them instead of going to foster care. I really love how consistent and nice it is for her to do that as well
The way the Kents would always give shelter and welcome people they barely knew into their house was wild lol
what struck me too, is how supportive they are for each other - like how Clark even at 14-15 yrs old would feel comfortable inviting someone in need to stay w them and the parents don't even blink. they are such a tight unit. it's really something
@@vbrandy7088 these are the people that found a kid in a cornfield and raised him as their own.
The foster parents mentality makes complete sense
“He didn’t have Lexual healing” 🤣😂😂. Ah man I love you guys, you are so damn funny! Thanks for this pod!!
good lord haha
Obviously the gesture is written in as part of a gradually increasing closeness between the two, wether creepy or not
Lexual Healing needs to be a new t-shirt!
Michael's impressions of the sheriff are gold
I really hope they might get Camille Mitchell on the show at some point. Can't remember if she has any "big episode" or if it'd just be her final one. I don't think she uses her natural voice although I could be wrong. Would be fun to hear what she felt/thought about playing this sort of background yet recognizable role and clearly bringing a lot of character and sort of campy humor into it.
@@jerodast Yeah, Camelia Phillips
Was Still Shown In Seasons 4 And, 5
When Erica Durance
First Is Introduced
And, Sheriff Smith
Gets Involved With, The Escaping Asylum Powered Villains Episode
Her Last Appearance Is,
When A, Former Sheriff Becomes Rogue Taking Hostage In, Lex Luther's Mansion
Maybe Tom remembers the "kickboxer" so well because he returns as a completely different character in season 6 as the super solider Lex creates
Lol. I love Tahmoh Penikett though. Such a great voice. He played an angel on Supernatural, I remember it being a really weird (in a good way) standout performance.
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed this
Those season 6 episodes are way better lol!
And I think it was cool that they didn't let him be buried with his brother cause they werent finished with him then later on we knew why
I always see the bad guy from Need For Speed Carbon or Helo from Battlestar Galactica when I see that actor
I can always tell how they're gonna feel about a Smallville episode by how long the Talkville episode is. If it's more than an hour, it's a great episode. If it's less than 50 min, not so much 😂
There’s too much subtext in all the Lex/Lana scenes for me to believe that Lex wasn’t always into Lana and gradually finding ways to be close to her.
Groooooomer haha.
I think Michael's way of playing Lex is always a little flirty/suggestive, not always sexually but always in some way. Which works quite well for the character, but definitely makes him creepy with the young girls who are totally not in their 20s now.
@@jerodast It is meant for planting the seeds for an upcoming love triangle. ;) The writers definitely ignored how much older Lex was. They made him extra lovely with Lana and doing much to gain her trust. Knowing what this foundation will lead into, makes it kinda weird.
That’s cuz Micheal was into her lol
@@andrewbradley3305 Who wasn’t he into? 😅
I think there's a lot of us that do care how 'hard' it was, to get there, to be "on", to find 'feelings' when you're surrounded by people just out of view. It helps us relate to how much of a job it is to perform. Watching the finished edited product leaves the impression that it's somehow 'easy'; all done in one.
Fun fact: Dr. Yaeger Scanlan is an homage to producer Tim Scanlan. Al and Miles would often give secondary characters the last name of the producers.
🇨🇦🎬FUN FACT: there are at least 20 guest actors in Smallville who also star in Hallmark’s ‘When Calls The Heart’(WCTH)! Probably because WCTH is a Canadian show? Here’s a list so far:
🍁Bruce Harwood - S03E15 Resurrection - Helicopter Pilot - [Mayor in WCTH S01]
🍁Jerry Wasserman -S03E15 Resurrection - Dr Yaeger - [Judge in WCTH]
🍁Kavan Smith - S01E13 - Wade Mahoney (kryptonite tattoo robber guy) - [main character Lee Coulter in WCTH married to Raya’s actress below]
🍁Pascale Hutton - S06E01 & 06 - Raya (and S04E20 - Karen Gallagher the girl who gives birth to the baby that Lana and Clark pseudo-adopt) - [main character Rosemary Coulter in WCTH -married to Kavan’s character. They also play husband and wife in several different Hallmark movies - like Doris Day and Rock Hudson 😁] please get Pascal when she returns as Raya!! She’s full of energy!
🍁Martin Cummins - S03E11 - Dr. Lawrence Garner - [main character Henry Gowan in WCTH]
🍁Viv Leacock- S04E01 - S10E14 - Agent Simon - [plays Joseph Canfield main supporting character in WCTH]
🍁Johannah Newmarch - S03E16 Crisis - Gwen Burton [main/supporting character Molly Sullivan in WCTH]
The others below are supporting characters in WCTH. I’ve only listed their role in Smallville
🍁Lynda Boyd - S03E14 - Alicia’s mum [main character’s mum in WCTH]
🍁Chelah Horsdal - S05E09 Lexmas - Dr. McCann
🍁Erica Carroll - S09E11 & 12- Inza Nelso
🍁Steve Bacic - The Pilot - Garage Worker
🍁Garwin Sanford - S02E04 - Ed Brook
🍁Michael Hogan - S10E09, 10, 11, & 19 - General Slade Wilso
🍁Serge Houde - S01E19 - priest
🍁Eric Breker - S01E14 - Roy Rothman
🍁Laura Mennell - S08E15 - Nurse Toni
🍁John Emmett Tracy - S10E05 - Dr Alfonso
🍁Alex Zahara- S07E07 - Dr Jansen
🍁Jill Morrison - S10E04 - Maddie Haroldhaus
If you watch When Calls The Heart, let me know who I’ve missed! 🇨🇦
People I missed added by other fans:
🍁Connor Stanhope -S07E12, 15, 16, S08E18, S10E06 - Young Lex Luthor
WOW. THATS GREAT 'SEARCH!
Once again, Tom as Clark in "Resurrection" is another great performance since the stakes keep getting higher and higher with every single scene! "Who Cares?" isn't exactly the best way to go since a lot of scenes in this episode are foreshadowing the future of Clark as a great journalist and superhero!
This was a pretty fun episode where Clark couldn’t just magically save the day (as the bomb was meteor rock) but still ended up cleverly used a lead chest X-ray guard to prevent the bomb from killing him (so he could safely shove the bomb into a well)
If he's able to superspeed through the radiation of that much Kryptonite before it gets to him, you'd think maybe he should just keep a lead blanket nearby most of the time, and he'll never have Kryptonite problems again :P
Ah, such are the plot problems you have to ignore when a character has super speed...
@@jerodast it’s the same argument on why he doesn’t wear a lead vest (as the previous extinction episode it’s shown despite lead not being very durable the fact it’s shields Clark from radiation means his own durability protects him)
Aka it wouldn’t be very good story if he could use that whenever
convenient lead blankets
This is one of thise episodes that you don't watch it for the main story line. The acting and the drama of the Kents with Johnathan's heart surgery is its strength and saves it for me.
It's just...SUCH a small amount of running time compared to the main plot. Not enough to hold it up. In the edited-out-the-filler-stuff director's cut version of the show, this episode would be under 10 minutes.
Michael has a new chair. I'm kinda on the fence about boucle fabric, but it works here. Lol my favorite thing about these are Tom's reactions to Michael's off-color/dad-type jokes or double entendres. Their rapport is epic.
Great emotional moments in this episode! It’s very obvious Lex is attracted to Lana.
I thought the plot of this episode was pretty interesting, I liked seeing Clark and Lana kind of work together again. I also remember watching this for the first time, the effects of the blood on Vincent I thought were pretty cool. Thanks again guys! ❤️
This episode was interesting. Clark's blood the key to saving diseases which itself changes everything. The actor who plays the brother was Bobby Drakes younger brother in X2: X-Men United. Bobby Drake of course portrayed by Shawn Ashmore who was Eric Summers in seasons 1 and 3 of Smallville.
From shockingly unsupportive of his superpowerly influenced brother, to way too supportive of his superpowerly influenced brother haha. Probably best not to get stereotyped as a dangerously irritating little brother huh :P
@@jerodast lol the irony.
Took me years to notice that too, his appearances in both things in a short monthly span I see, dudes been busy
First I have to say this. It's criminal how they slowly wrote Pete out of this series. Only ONE scene?!?! In that one scene, you notice there is absolutely no interaction with Lana. They are supposed to be friends but they don't acknowledge each other let alone hug. Lana does kinda hide behind him once the bomb is in play which makes it all the more awkward.
Hey. Doesn't he have lines in 2 scenes? :P (First showing support for Jonathan, then talking about the kryptobomb later with Martha.)
But yeah, "Velocity" is kind of Pete's last hurrah I think. I really wish Ryan and Michael had been kept in the dark about him departing at end of season, I would've been interested to see if they could see it coming or not.
There was only enough storyline room for one Clark friend. I was ready to let him go. I like it much better when Chloe finds out.
Yeah that definitely wouldn't fly nowadays. Getting rid of your only character of color in such a lazy way. Smh
The scene with lana. She is wearing faded jeans. We never see her wearing old looking clothes. Lex of course has a purple hankerchief. Maybe he saved it so he can get some of Lana's dna.
I knew the scene was creepy, but didn't occur to me it was like that haha.
I think you're right,though
It was always intriguing regarding the reveal in this episode about how Lionel was able to synthesize Clark's blood into a sort of Lazarus serum. Just showed that Clark had even more power within him. 😀🙏💪
RIP Julian Christopher
BAD ASS BROTHA
Julian Christopher (November 7, 1944 - February 26, 2023) was an American actor. He is best known for his roles in various films and television series from the 1970s to the present, including The Magician and the episode "Code of Honor" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. His most notable appearances, besides his Star Trek: The Next Generation role, were in the films Cool Breeze, X-Men: The Last Stand, Elysium and 88 Minutes (AND SMALLVILLE, TF?!)
Christopher died on February 26, 2023.
FROM THE WIK'
I actually love seeing the BTS because it just shows how hard everyone works and it shows how much fun you guys have on set. What I felt about Garrett was that he was desperate and he really wasn't thinking clearly and that was why he didn't think about his brother dying. I think it is great that fans talk to Tom about this episode because of their relationship with their father. It was heart felt because most of us can't imagine us losing our parent while we are teenagers. I give this one a rose because of the Clark, Jonathan, and Martha moments.
Thanks for your great synopsis and discussion and loved how Michael is so protective of Lex and doesn’t want him to be perceived as creepy😊
😂😂😂
Lex is such a groomer haha. Glad Ryan is willing to speak the truth. That caller is my hero :D
Another X-FILES connection: both shows were scored by Mark Snow. He even re-used a cue from the first X-FILES movie (when Mulder and Scully are running away from the helicopters in the cornfield) multiple times (like when the meteor freak tries to drown Lana or when Chloe flees Luthorcorp after being exposed to the "truth-telling" gas).
I've recently been rewatching Smallville, im currently on season 6 now! You guys bring back good memories for me! I was 11 when Smallville first started....I'm 33 now. Time flies...
I like how the blood serum thing starts something that we see later on in another season
Thank you for making the podcast so professionally despite the difficulties! It does matter! Demonstrates professionalism, commitment and respect to us!
You guys have to get the sherif as a guest on the podcast, she’s awesome !!
Can't until the strike is over.
I enjoyed the scene where Clark convinced Johnathan to have the operation. That was the highlight for me.
PS, what about Clark speed running right in front of that sniper? To the sniper I’m sure it would have appeared as if Clark just disappeared.
Yeah I would've liked to hear Ryan's shortlist, that scene with Jonathan was the first I thought of, bomb was second. Maaybe Lex and Dr. Tang talking would be a distant third, they have a decent chemistry, and Lex's look at the disappearing vial was kind of fun/ny. I agree with Ryan's pick though.
Not only did Clark disappear from the sniper's scope, but the bomb disappears and blows up somewhere else, but nary a peep from the Sherriff about any of that!
Dr. Tang was such a compelling character and kind of bummed out when her character bites the dust. Fun fact she appeared opposite Jackie Chan in Rumble in the Bronx.
I liked Dr Teng too.
Yeah it was a nice relief for Dr. Tang to get a follow-up to the previous episode. When Lionel was just like "nah we'll just leave him here to rot" I was thinking "so, I get you're in his pocket, but nothing to say about that?" Also clarified that she actually just ghosted Lex, whereas in previous episode it implied she was probably going to agree to the deal he proposed to her. Also Michael and her feel like they have a solid chemistry, I'm a little surprised he hasn't said more about working with her, maybe later.
She was also in Black Mask and played Jet Li's old lover in the film. Kind of a shady and creepy role for her. There is this scene where she is literally biting somebody in the lips and then proceeds to pull a razor out from somewhere in her mouth and uses it to slice the guy's face. Was just so bizarre hehe, wil never get that out of my head.
@@Jimmy9298 she was also in Romeo Must Die playing a biker that gets impaled when she fought Jet and Aaliyah.
Its a pulse pounding epsiode and its about family, it hits close to home. When it's your dad you will do whatever it takes to save your dad.
This is the first of two different roles Tahmoh Penikett takes in Smallville.
Hey guys. Dont forget that all the people in the hospital were saved by Clark, you need to count this in the save/ death count. There will be places were Clark will save many people on one place, like now
Reminds me how much "Man of Steel" is a kind of a Smallville reunion of former guest stars and side characters.
This episode had that John Q vibe to it especially with the younger brother trying to save his older brother.
Michael mentions that, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Final Destination. Don't forget Swimfan y'all :)
John Q such a GOAT movie
EXACTLY!
Has anyone not noticed that the Vince character comes back as the solider that Lex modified to be invisible, he was Lois’s friend that she grew up with on the army base. His name was Wes Keenan.
Yes, I am sure many of us (fans) noticed & remember. I think Tom Welling remembers the actor because had returned, later, but Tom may not remember that fact?
Michael & Ryan do not know this, it seems :)
They seem to forget, clark is supposed to be A "High school student."
I don’t see how they can forget
So yes, this episode suffers seriously from, even by Smallville standards, absurd levels of contrivance. Its very much an interesting plot, and the characterizations of everyone are spot on. Emotionally its very compelling, and it ties together the Helen plot, the Lionel plot, the Morgan Edge plot, and the Adam plot and somehow manages to parallel it with the Jonathan plot. Its insanely ambitious. For instance, I am baffled at the idea that there is something strange about the brother getting more desperate not less after seeing his brother resurrected. That's the whole point! This resurrection drug gives false hope. It prevents loved ones from getting closure! Like if you know they can always just come back again doesn't that change the entire mental and emotional calculus of grieving and healing? You get whiplash instead of the finality of death, and so you have to deal with both grief and the desperation for your loved one to be saved simultaneously.
I'll look forward to seeing the actor for the older brother again near the end of season 6. Also wait did Clark blow up the hospital's backup generator? Also, wait wait guys the entire hospital got saved!
Anyway you guys are simply wrong - 1.5 roses
Haha is that what that hole in the ground was, the backup generator? Perhaps.
Interesting tying together all those threads although I would say the Helen plot simply turned into the Edge plot and frankly that has turned into Lionel's plot which is clearly also Adam's plot (although Lionel at least has 2-3 threads running concurrently), so it's not really "tying together" so much as "continuing". As they do. But this screams "filler villain/crisis" way too hard for me to see it as some grand scheme key episode.
Its tying them together bcs before now they weren't the same plot - its fairly conventional for Smallville to utilize a contained plot episode to tie together a whole bunch of things and do a whole bunch of little reveals@@jerodast
This was the first episode that subtlety introduced Clark's new speed vfx, showcased when he has to get rid of the bomb. This effect would be used for years to come, one of my favorites!
Clark's blood becomes a MASSIVE story plot point for the rest of the series. It ties into so much of Lex's evil plants in later seasons.
I love the behind the scenes, and enjoy hearing about the tough stuff that happens, it makes me appreciate the finished product more personally
“Chloe called her contacts” I just love that every time
They probably didn't think to remove the shadow because they figured it could be played off as one of Lex's ever elusive Security Guards. Haha
Yeah that's a funny story, but in the end a silhouette walking by the door of Lex's mansion seems pretty fine. I wonder if they left the lights in the scene also because they thought "eh, maybe it's some trendy fancy light style Lex has around". I sure didn't think much of it - it's like dead center in the shot so it HAD to be intentional right :)
@@jerodast. Yeah why would a viewer know that light wasn’t just part of the scene
I absolutely like the end Scene with Clark, Lana and the music.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one!! Not one of my favourite episodes, but it had some great moments. Thank you guys for doing this amazing podcast ❤ I’m so grateful ❤ Happy Talk Ville Wednesday ❤☄️🌽
Our pleasure!
@@TalkVillePodcast ❤️
Love this podcast and y’all. This episode is a bit of a mixed bag. I loved the man of steel line in this episode. The scene where Jonathan says to Clark that every day that you are in our lives you save us. The apartment scene was a little creepy. Loved the Chole and Lex scenes. It was interesting to learn more about Dr. Tang and that she actually cares. No Lionel in this episode. I was glad to see Pete quickly in this episode. Jonathan’s doctor was so calm during his surgery considering there was a bomb threat going on. When Martha says to Jonathan that you will be there when Clark flys away. Jonathan is there, but it is spirit. Love the Sheriff Adams scenes. Love y’all
The entire show is so much better than man of steel, this Jonathan actually understands morals and Clark proves that every episode of the lessons taught
🌹🌹🌹woo hoo! I'm finally caught up.! 🥳🥳🥳 So excited to watch today's podcast 🤗 I couldn't wait to start it 😂
binging the entire podcast in the past 3 weeks, now whenever I watch the show I can't wait to hear Tom's insights and Michael's reactions! I literally hear the discussions while I'm watching 🤣
I mostly care how hard it is, unless it becomes the major subject. Sometimes it is nice to hear that big Hollywood stars also have their internet blow out on them. Mine does all the time recently and my boss really doesn't care. Makes it easy to relate 😊
Many thanks to Rosey, Ryan & Tom! 🎃 #TalkVillePodcast #MichaelRosenbaum #TomWelling #Smallville #SmallvilleRewatch
For some reason I personally did like this episode. Mostly because of the finding about the serum and its relation to Clark's blood. That's what the whole 3rd series is about and in this episode that is discovered. A key episode to understand the whole 3 season of Smallville. Thanks guys. Cheers.
The Smallville/Battlestar Galactica connection continues on.
One of my favorite quotes from Smallvile made an appearance at the end. “When you're rich, you're not crazy. You're eccentric.” - Lionel Luthor to Lex L.
Love the show and you guys for doing this for the fans. Michael, sometimes a show or movie can be a feel good time without 50 layers of nuance or irony. Sometimes fun and happiness is on the screen and not worth picking apart.
Oh my goodness, these episodes where Johnathan has these heart problems, the first heart attack, the operation and when unfortunately he leaves Clark, now, 20 years after the first time I saw them, they hit straight at the heart, having lost my dad last June. Emotions are amplified exponentially. John Schneider is gorgeous as Johnathan Kent
I’m very excited to get closer to the finale of season 3, it has one of the best endings of any season and it means season 4 is soon and so is Lois!
The Dr's like "Fine, Jon do whatever you like. What I know, I'm just a doctor" 😂 It's hilarious when Doctors are overly sarcastic.
The meteor rock makes the explosions better 😂😂😂
WE CARE!!! Lol...I personally LOVE hearing about the behind the scenes, whether it's for the podcast or the show. It's a piece that we as the audience don't always get to see, and I love that shit. :)
Never though Lex would be best buds with Clark again 😄
I love the podcast. I am looking forward to some of the last episodes of season three. Keep up the great work guys. I love you all.
Always appreciate the work you guys go through to get these great episodes out to us!! Can't wait to watch!!

“He Went Out With a Bang! 💥”
this one was thrilling :) love that kind of episodes
i'm not a patreon unfortunately but i always love that shoutout moment at the end 😂
Helo! There were a number of Galactica alum that popped up on Smallville. Sam Witwer had THAT role. Chief Tyrol was a cop in one ep. Colonol Tigh was in one of the final seasons. Gaeta was Emil Hamilton in the final seasons. Dee, Cailie, Doc Cottle, Tory, Kat, and Leobin all showed up for ep. Incestuous Canadian film industry.
I love watching one of these guys show up and thinking "ah, so this was filmed in Vancouver" haha.
I agree that the story was convoluted and overpacked with information, but I don’t hate this episode. I give it a 🌹. Thank you so much, Tom, for explaining how y’all shot bullet time. I’ve always wondered! 💖
You got to be a Superman and comic book fan to enjoy a show like this but the only important thing in this episode was so they can progress the plot involving experiments with Clark's blood which is a big thing in the comics. It's like having the blood of a God. Another thing is the small town, freaky stuff happening trope that was overly popular doing the show's time period
Awesome podcast- the episode was ok 🤷♂️ I’m glad someone called in asking about the random x file’s characters showing up on smallville
The bomb kid in this and the villain in 'Velocity" were ironically both in Steven Speilberg's "Taken" TV series (2001). I was re-experiencing it the other night. Weird.
Yea some of the episodes have good A and B stories, then others have one or the another but you can't skip an episode (unless you're likecme and you've seen every episode 20+ times) because you'll always miss something.
Best episode!
That guy in the shot, I always thought it was one of Lex’s security guys.
“You plow. I save lives.”
And Clark does both.
YES YES, Mike. It was creepy with the wiping of the tears😮
My favorite scene is at the beginning, when Clark insist to Johnathan to get the surgery because he doesn't want to lose his father ❤
Tahmoh's name is pronounced Tom-O. He plays a very important and beloved character on BSG, you guys should totally watch it! It's one of my shows that get many multiple rewatches. Y'all have had a lot of Battlestar Galactica actors on your show! He's also not the only one who did more than one episode. Y'all BSG folks out there will recognize the Chief in a couple.
Although this episode was a total bomb 1/2, the podcast will always get 3 roses from me. Love you guys and thank you for doing this !
Pleasure meeting you both in Boston a couple years ago❤️
Yeah 3 lovely men are on, really so funny, I love Michaels eyes, all are looking good. Felt so sorry for Clark he had alot on his mind where his dad is concerned, lol loved that with doc and Johnathon, I felt for garet poor lad. that was touching moment when Clarks dad said he wasn't going nowhere. that character who played Vince did a well good job, felt for Vince's brother towards end he was so desperate to save his brother but felt for Clark as well, well pointed out tom bout someone being in shot I forgot bout that lol. oh yeah definitely can tell brotherly love great acting, lol really love Michaels honestly, and toms and Ryan's you guys rock and are fantastic. Who doesn't love Ryan, tom and Michael and reliving Smallville. , love all 3 of yours laughs and smiles. X
Michael you missed the opportunity. His gravestone would say “Life was a blast”
Even the dog was airing grievances about this episode.
One of my favorite episodes
Good one, Tom, about Lex's hair not moving. 😂
I want a shirt that says "lexual healing" asap please
In December 2002, my dad went into the hospital on the urging of myself and my mom because he felt...wrong...after straining too hard in the bathroom. By the next morning, they still weren't home. Got a call from my mom saying my dad was going into surgery. Turns out he was having an aortic dissection (same thing that would kill John Ritter a year later). My mom insisted I not come in to sit with her or anything, just stay home, stay calm and pray. He actually did survive it after ten hours on the table. (The doctors were about to send him home after being unable to find anything conclusively wrong when a specialist in the field just happened to be passing by the room and overheard my dad talking about feeling oddly cold and other things, and knew what was happening). Apparently, at least at the time, only 10% of people who had dissections survived, and of those 10%, something like another 10% didn't make it another ten years. My dad did not beat those odds, dying in July of 2009. My mom was point blank told, "You just got your Christmas miracle."
I only bring it up because it's not so odd for a mom to be like, "Go do something useful instead of sit here." Now, for me, that meant sitting at home playing through Metroid Fusion and trying really hard not to think about it, kind of internally praying for my dad the whole time. But I can easily see a situation in which a mom is like, "It does no one any good for you to sit here doing nothing like me. Your being here isn't going to help him survive, and you can pray anywhere. Go somewhere where you actually have some agency over the situation. It's what he would want."
You guys are always entertaining. Thanks for the podcast. ❤😊
Not a great Smallville episode, but an awesome Talkville Episode. The banter between you guys was just hilarious 😂🤣. Thanks for everything you share. And Tom, we absolutely love the bts stuff and hearing what life was like for you guys on set.
On the BTS information, I love it. I always like to know what into the making of movies, TV shows, and even specific scenes. As for the mundane details of what went wrong, how many takes were done, and who was late...
I imagine many rookie actors and actresses get on set with certain hopes and expectations that are quickly shattered by the reality of filming a TV show. Better for them to know how hard and/or tedious the work is beforehand.
Jonathan was saved by the shooter, the young man wanted to force the doctor to remove his liver!
Im currently rewatching the show, and I thought it was odd that when clark disposed of the bomb, they showed the surgeon and his staff operating on Jonathan and they feel the building shake and hear the explosion, but they just look around like and ask if everyone is good to keep going. Um, I'd send one of the assistant members to go check out what is going on! Such an odd reaction by the surgeon and his team.
Love the podcast, guys!
Banter each week is always great!
They were going for another hostage crisis episode (ala Jitters and Insurgence), but this one didn't live up to those standards. Mainly because Garrett wasn't sympathetic like Earl Jenkins was in Jitters or as evil as Pyne was in Insurgence. He was just annoying. Like his brother kept saying, a runt, LOL.
Best part was John Schneider's acting. The guy just knows how to hit you in the feels.
As I recall, _John Q_ wasn't exactly critically acclaimed by critics either, funny they'd try a _Smallville_ remake anyway. I think audiences mostly go "so you do this insane dangerous plan but we're still supposed to sympathize with you at least a little because of your dying family member? Yeah no."
Kinda cracks me up they barely even mention the kid after he gets blown away. "Ah well that whole family's dead, too bad!"
@@jerodast At first you feel bad for him, but when he shows up with the bomb and then orders the doctor to get Jonathan's liver because Clark "would still have a mother", all sympathy is gone out the window.
Looking back now, and given what happens next week, they should have done a hostage crisis episode with Adam at the forefront. It would have meant more to the viewer.
I don’t care what y’all say. I love all the shows and all the podcasts.
Lex not wanting Chloe to get hurt? Nah just doesn’t want her getting too close to the secrets he wants her help him uncover. Such a user
Not only did the brother escape, but he decided that the Kent Barn was exactly where he wanted to be.
He probably heard his brother was staying there for a night and decided to go there
@@ninjanibba4259 Ah, that makes sense.
24:26 "Clark time"... Tom's reaction 🤣🤣🤣
Heater for me. The story was so so
Résurrection has some flaws, some scenes happen a little haphardzaly 😏 it’s true. But the Kents ’love and the acting win the prize in this episode ❤❤ The discussion was 😅😅, thanks Michael, Tom and Ryan !!💙❤💖
