    This episode may not be the best, but there some very beautiful lines written and delivered - particularly the scene between Clark and Whitney shooting the basketball.
    1 year after this episode aired, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. 2 years later he was dead. While it was the most painful thing I’ve still ever witnessed in my life seeing him like that, “I’d take the man over the memory any day of the week,” as Clark said to Whitney.
    After he died, the first thing I did after they came to take him away from our house was watch Smallville. It’s always been there for me and you guys helped get me through that.

    It's ironic that the episode Michael and Tom enjoyed the least had them talking about some deep and real stuff like parenting, aging, loneliness, death, medical euthanasie etc. "Reaper" wasn't among my faves episodes from season 1 but I don't think it was a terrible episode, it's enjoyable. It focus on the human experience, our mortality and family dynamics. Very timeless and relatable themes in this episode.

      Who ever identified Smallville as a kind of X-Files show only?
      Because of the Freak of the week thing?
      Comic books used to be like this as well. There were one issue, villain of the month, or week, bi-weekly, etc., or short 3 issue arcs, but always a bigger story, and/or tie ins to events in other books.
      But, the format of the case/mystery of the week, was from detective and cop shows. Things with supernatural things, got labeled freak of the week, because it was part of the format.
      Kolchak: The Night Stalker, did this in the 70’s, with a journalist, who tracked down different monsters, ghost, or other supernatural things every week. X-Files gets the credit for that name for it, even though it want the first to do it.

      @charlesjenkins2090 Před rokem

      Right its very clear that the discomfort with the subject matter or at the very least talking about their personal views on the matter on a podcast is biasing them here so they weigh the not so very uncommon "huhs" with powers and people appearing and disappearing and all those little Smallvilleisms that yeah, do count against the writing, more heavily than they usually do. This was not necessarily a well executed concept, but the idea of it being a heater or lower is...dubious, Tom himself has talked about how if they make you think about and talk about and invest as much as they clearly are in this episode its clearly a winner.

    • @charlesjenkins2090
      @charlesjenkins2090 Před rokem +1

      in fairness, Tom was trying to watch this episode with his kids? Who are like, no older than 6? Which honestly is definitely young for Smallville as a whole and episodes like this clearly make him notice that.

    • @charlesjenkins2090
      @charlesjenkins2090 Před rokem +1

      something super noticeable here is how little weight they give, especially Tom who normally does give weight to this, to how many strong one on one heart to hearts there are. They talk about it in the episode but you can tell their discomfort with the overall themes of the plot, whether its bcs they don't like the clear angle the episode has on the issue of euthanasia or they just don't really like seriously thinking about death, make them weigh weaknesses in the central narrative to completely cancel out good character moments.

    I enjoyed this episode because it showed how people felt about death. I've known people who, just like Whitney, didn't want to see their loved one in a weaken state. They just wanted to remember the person that they were. I especially liked the end because Whitney got to share a dream of his with his dad knowing that the time was limited. I think it was something that Clark had forgotten in the episode Ryan (won't spoil anything). As always John Schneider and Annette O'Toole were amazing and I always thought they brought out the best acting out of Tom Welling.

    What Tom said about identifying how you were raised and how you want to parent differently. Is actually a very real and difficult thing to do. There is actually a term for it, “reparenting”. We often have to self reflect and re-parent ourselves to parent our own children in a new way.

    Definitely agree with you guys. This was not one of my favorite episodes , ( loved the father-son subplot and Lex pointing out to Clark how lucky he is to have such an amazing father). It did however have a positive impact on a former religious school student. He was extremely shy and very socially awkward. He would only talk when we held our weekly Smallville debates. He ALWAYS volunteered to be a team captain. He gave such a passionate speech about why he agreed with Tyler’s point of view about relieving other’s suffering. Brought me to tears. Said he always felt comfortable watching Lex and Clark and identified with the complexity of their relationship. Thank you for letting me revisit this cherished memory through this rewatch. It really is the absolute gift that keeps giving. ❤️🙏🏻. Happy Wednesday.

    The best part of Reaper was the parent/child theme that ran throughout, starting with Tyler & his mom. She asks him to assist her in death. Whitney is dealing with the looming death of his father. Clark & Jonathan argue over something teenagery but true to life, which is really about spending time together. And Lex & Lionel continue to play petty games with each other. Very different reflections of the same theme.

    With Ryan on this one, personally liked this episode.
    With the dog barking sound effect I noticed, thought it was either someone editing the episode having fun or it was done on purpose as an easter egg foreshadowing Clark's super hearing. The sound effect isn't the same dog barking earlier in the episode, so since Clark is focusing his vision to find the dog maybe he's also hearing another dog farther away. Time to bring back Al and Miles for the definitive answer!

  • @EmperadorElijah
    @EmperadorElijah Před rokem +13

    Another great episode, of course. Regarding Whitney, the reason he sometimes opens up to Clark is because he inherently knows he can trust him; Clark being wholesome and good-hearted. Even if some guys are not buddies, sometimes a guy just needs a guy to confide in or open up to. It may be even easier when they are not emotionally close or attached, but are platonic male acquaintances. Whitney is a part of Clark's high school social circle at times and it helps to be on good terms with one's fellow classmates anyhow. Clark is the male friend Whitney needs but would not openly admit to, to maintain peace, and to look out for him at any given moment if he ever needs any thing. By the way, I think Clark cares about Whitney and his overall well being, otherwise, he would not make the effort to go seek him out and chat with him about a difficult subject. Clark knows that Whitney, although a talented athlete, needs hopeful encouragement with this unfamiliar challenge in his home life.

      I agree. I feel it makes total sense for Whitney to open up to Clark because as a typical "alpha male" type of character, he wouldn't want to be seen as vulnerable by his other male friends, or his own girlfriend. But Clark is someone he knows is a good person despite everything, and since they're not that close it's actually easier to open up to him.

    This episode of “Smallville” I loved, it showed that this was a show that could dig deep into the human emotions few people want to discuss, primarily getting old, loneliness, and dying. It’s sad that so many people ignore the elderly, because unless we die young, we will all end up elderly. And dying shouldn’t be feared, because it happens to everyone.
    How you age and accept life all depends on your outlook. One of the most important qualities to have is a sense of humor. Life can be hard, and if you can’t laugh you’ll be pretty miserable.
    My fathers mother lived to be 90, and she was hilarious, despite having survived Hitler’s Germany. She took care of her own home until the end, and I seldom saw her without a smile. When she turned 90, I asked her what it felt like, and she replied: “It feels like fucking overtime!”.

      It's the idea of not just getting old but also, getting sick and be in a lot of pain that becomes too unbearable for a person in that stage. It's one of my biggest fears which is not so much as aging but aging fast due to chronic or terminal illness. When you feel like you've had it with living like this, you kind of wish it would end by having someone end it for you... assisted suicide. I've never been in this situation and I really hope I don't but it's a serious moral dilemma.

    Honestly, I enjoy this episode. I like how the enemy of this episode is a kid who thinks he's doing good, helping old people pass peacefully, and when he realizes he was wrong he's overcome with guilt. The father-son aspect of the episode was great as well. Overall, I'd give this episode 1.3 🌹
    Well, is rather easy to understand why he tried to kill Martha, Clark and the other guy. Cause if he let them call the police, he'd be either taken to jail or on the run. Which he doesn't want.

    Another fantastic episode. I loved the character building with Clark and his dad.
    As a person who’s taking care of elderly people including their elderly parents, it’s tough to see them suffering. Even seeing that, I still don’t think I would have it in me to “make the pain go away”. Cherish any time you get with the elderly. Listen to their stories and learn from their lessons.

    Great job again. I myself took a lot from this ep. I consider each ep a test or learning experience for Clark and this one had plenty for him. He faced natural death, time(ageing), finality and how important it is to value people and family, because you never know what comes next, good vs legal. He saw a guy with a dangerous power, like him, and the danger he poses with a wrong choice or a mistake, looking at himself in that mirror and how important it is to maintain control. Rose acting was super cool too, Lex being a true bad a$$ and his constant battle with Lionel. I'd give it 1.5 but I get your points, it was difficult to tie some things that were too coincidental to make sense.

How many of us have done something wrong, believing it was for the best? The take away from this episode for me is... enjoy life and appreciate the people in your life cause life is very short and beautiful, because it doesn't last. But while it does, I'll be here till the very end. Love this show, loved this series. Much love to you guys.
