    We explore journalistic integrity this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit Smallville Season 3 Episode 18: TRUTH!
    After reflecting on times in their career when journalists were trying to get close for a story, the guys reflect on all the truth bombs dropped across Smallville in this episode.
    Michael talks about the pros and cons of a relationship with a journalist and remembers bringing real life situations with his father into his scenes with Lionel.
    Tom pokes at yet another scene where Clark deals with syringes and shares a crazy memory from Season 1.

    One of the best things about Chloe is how much her character transforms over the course of the series. She becomes so incredible, and one of my favorites. I think she is one of the most realistic of the cast in high school in her behaviors that may seem unlikeable.

    • @clairemendoza8082
      @clairemendoza8082 Před měsícem

      @MomoSimone22 she’s my favorite character on the show. Yes she made mistakes in earlier seasons but as seasons progress she becomes a close confidant to Clark and he later on always went to her for advice. I like Lana in some ways but she’s certainly no saint. Chloe is one of the people who is “all in.” She poured her feelings out to Clark knowing she would get hurt. That took guts IMO. Lana never did that. Not really. Lana takes off to Paris (because of Clark) then comes back. Lana doesn’t know what the hell she wants. She’s up, down, sideways, etc. Chloe and Lex are driven people who know what they want and go for it. That’s just how I’ve always seen them.
      The “Clana,” fan base was so strong that people would have been upset if Clark did start dating Chloe. Chloe loved him the most and went thru hell with him in later seasons. Chloe was willing to go the distance with Clark that Lana and even Lois wouldn’t do. That’s just my opinion. Again I don’t dislike Lois or Lana because they have many endearing moments but Chloe sticks out for me. I don’t always condone her actions but she will admit to them. Lana has made her fair share of mistakes but she at times acts like she’s little Miss Angel 😇 which she is not. And let’s not forget who was snooping on Chloe’s computer looking at photos of her and Clark at the Spring formal. Lana did that and yet no one seems to address that?
      I love the show and I love love Tom’s portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman but when it comes to Chloe I’m very defensive of her character because I really relate to her. I can have a big mouth sometimes and wish I hadn’t opened it like Chloe but like her I will admit to screwing up.

  • @wowitsbeenawhile
    @wowitsbeenawhile Před 6 měsíci +8

    For me, me the most powerful line is after Lionel tells his truth, he tells Chloe she should not have asked him that. John Glover's tone and delivery came across as very dangerous, peaking curiosity of what the consequences of her knowing that information could be. It seemed each secret she unfolded became more important building up to that unsettling moment.

    • @jerodast
      @jerodast Před 6 měsíci +2

      Yes! It was a great buildup of how much trouble she'd both reveal and get into with her newfound power. The scene with Lionel was really the climax of the episode even more than the bridge.
      Also love your use of "peaking" after Lionel calls Chloe "a bit peaked" in that scene haha.

  • @Sierra654-to4vl
    @Sierra654-to4vl Před 6 měsíci +47

    This is a fun episode of smallville, showing the real feelings of many characters. Allison’s performance in this is excellent and entertaining. We definitely have Chloe getting a little antagonistic during her power trip. She’s not really showing any regard for anyone, wearing her reporter hat a little to tight. When Clark says she would betray a friend for a story, I think he is right. And she gets upset when Lana says she couldn’t trust her? But luckily Chloe gets development and will soon become Clark’s most trusted ally.
    Need to edit this in: Rosenbaum no need to downplay the conversation between the girls! I think it’s an important one because it’s honestly one of the few conversations that Lana and Chloe gets in the show that only focused on their friendship and development, and not a guy.

      It's so interesting rewatching the early seasons and seeing how different Chloe was. When I think about the show overall I really like her character.

    • @GeminiWolfstarGaming
      @GeminiWolfstarGaming Před 6 měsíci +7

      @@Vixin24At the time they were still developing her character. So they could have taken her many different ways, especially since she’s not a chaacter from the comics. They coukd have done anything with developing her character. I’d say Chloe was one of the things that helped make the show feel fresh, interesting and unique, especially towards the Superman mythos. It’s a nice added layer of depth to an already vast universe.

    And of course John Glover once again steals the show with his marvellous acting, especially when he tells Chloe the truth in the hospital.His chemistry with Allison was always brilliant.

    Tom is amazing as Clark. He plays Clark like an alien pretending to be human. Never feels like a human on screen and that really makes him stand out from the other characters. Also Clark being so nervous that they will find out hes an alien is hilarious 😆 "hes kidding" "mom!" Very comedic and fun episode. Really cool scenes like Lionel/Chloe, Lex/Chloe, Martha/Chloe and Pete/Chloe/Clark. And i really like what Allison Mack did with Chloe, she really developed that character that doesnt exist in the Superman universe as far as i know. Another thing i like about Chloe is that shes pretty much the only character that always has a new look and hair style as the seasons go on

      I don't think that explains it. They showed that Chloe emitted particles of kryptonite when the power was used - that's why it looked like a Listerine commercial - so Clark should have been exposed. Also, I'm sure we've seen meteor mutants affect Clark before, like those guys who tossed him into the furnace. The writers had no rules.

  • @1027srich

    This episode was something that gets better as it goes on... It's definitely a solid episode... This episode also shows Chloe's character development as she realizes that her curiosity can get so intense that it causes people (even her friends) to distance themselves from her, while ruining some people's lives (a la, the teacher and her son)... Despite all the chaos that Chloe has caused, Clark still has her back even when she's throwing shots at him... That hug 🫂 between Clark and Chloe at the end cements that their friendship is ironclad and that nothing will be able to come between them ever again (for now, at least)... We talk about Tom's chemistry with Kristin, however, Tom also had chemistry with Allison (and not even gonna perp, I wish that Clark and Chloe could've had a romantic relationship maybe for half of a season at least because there was always something there... Clark was in love with Lana, however, he had feelings for Chloe even tho he may have denied it lol)... Pete was great in this episode as I could definitely relate to him when it came to the girl he had feelings for was into his best friend so when Pete tells Clark "even before I knew you had powers, you cast a big shadow" as I could relate to that also... The scene when Chloe gets Lionel Luthor to confess to killing his parents was 😳🤯... Lex continuing to be that big brother to Clark will never get old 😎... All in all, I give this episode 🌹1/2 (1.5 roses)... #LoveThePodcastFellas #TalkvilleWednesdays

    This episode reminded me so much of the season 6 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Once More, with Feeling". The musical episode where everyone was forced to tell the truth against their will through song, but at the end of it everyone remembered the truths they said and had to just deal with the consequences of it. Loved that episode and this reminded me a lot of it

    I gotta say for a darker season, Truth had some great lighter, memorable moments. Pete kissing Chloe, Chloe's having fun with her new-found ability and asking different things to a few students, the over-the-top Pulp Fiction needle moment. I also love this episode has commentary with it which is fun to listen to, especially since John Glover was part of it. Personally one of my favorite lighter episodes.
    I do also remember from listening to the commentary, James Marshall said they actually shot the scene with Chloe and Clark at the end in two different ways. One where Clark forgives her, and one where he doesn't. It makes me wonder how different the episode would feel if Clark didn't forgive Chloe for chasing after the truth.

      WOW yeah that would have been very interesting! I watched the series twice now, never really feels like she earns any of the times Clark forgives her. and I often wonder how it would have played for Chloe to lean into that dark side of her, almost becoming a villain, and see how that redemption arc would have played out. but ultimately, Clark's compassion is nearly bottomless so I think the infinite forgiveness more about his character than hers

    • @asyouwish3636

      @@jerodast except all of those are self-motivated examples, not part of character development...
      -She keeps his secret in Exile cuz it makes her feel needed. she knows something Lana doesn't. she can pretend he is trusting her over anyone else AND she uses the excuse Clark threatened to truly disappear. when in reality she could have told the Kents and they wouldn't have disclosed how they found him. that secret keeping was about Chloe, not Clark.
      -she DOES give Lionel everything she has, BUT she doesn't actually have anything. so she can use the excuse that she's protecting him, but really she didn't know anything. so she's not protecting Clark. Clark protected himself by not being honest w her. I don't believe she would have disclosed his Kryptonian heritage if she knew, but had Clark just been a meteor infected she would have absolutely told Lionel. and she would have justified it cuz she had already helped solve crimes involving meteor infected, and she can't get over that Clark won't share that w her if that's his secret.
      -and she keeps the Big Secret because it makes her feel important. she finally can feel useful to Clark. even the way she discovers it: is about Alicia. from a writing perspective, Chloe's classic abandonment issues drive her. her incessant need to know the truth, her constant insertion into situations that have nothing to do w her, eventually she'll try to control the situation always w the excuse of protecting Clark. THAT'S character development. all those counter points are really manifestations of how she's coping w the trauma she developed by being left by her mother.
      I mean don't get me wrong, the result is that Clark ends up w a useful sidekick/helper. but the point is that her growth almost always is either plot-driven or someone else's character motivated (usually Clark) ie: she's forgiven but did no action to earn it. Clark forgives her because that's in his character. Actually, almost all of S8 is an example, but that's a whole other conversation! lol
      now. . we do see some actual character growth sprinkled in the series, and you see it mostly in S10...ie: in S9 various eps she's low key discouraging both Clark and Lois from sharing the truth w each other but then in S10 she encourages Lois to go thru w the wedding
      the take away is, Chloe does change but usually as a reflection of Clark, to push his character development and not her own

    A fun episode that I think was trying to experiment early on with Chloe gaining kryptonite abilities. A neat concept, that resulted in some humorous reveals: such as Pete telling Chloe about Clark's powers, as he put it: Clark going "Super Sonic" to get hotdogs fron Metropolis stadium. Or another is Martha letting slip about Jor-El to Chloe. Sighting him as the reason Clark ran off to Metropolis that past summer. Just little moments that make this one a treat. TGIW!😀❤❤

    Fun fact: this episode aired on my 10th birthday 😁. I like this one quite a bit. It was interesting to show what a reporter like Chloe would do if they had the ability to get the truth out of people. We got some nice truth reveal scenes from Lana, Pete, Lionel and Lex. My biggest complaint in this one is the big needle to the heart. That never made any sense to me. But overall, I’m giving this episode a solid 🌹. The next episode is one of Smallville’s greatest.

    2) Tom and Michael's portrayals of the characters were amazing! I was on the outer edge of the target audience at the time (30ish) and the writing on WB shows was.... not written for someone like me, I suspect. But I watched the show because Lex and Clark actually seemed like peoople I would want to spend time with. They really stood out amongst the rest of the cast to me.
    It was around this episode that my life had some major changes and TV was not a part of that path. I actually found myself wondering how these two guys were doing; almost like moving away from friends.
    I really appreciate the time and effort you guys put in to breathing life into those characters so well that I actually cared what happened to them!
