'Smallvile' Season 10, Episode 3 Recap

After being a loyal Smallville fan from the beginning (even during the long slog through the "meteor freak of the week" period). I gave up on it for the last two seasons. Coming back this year has been a refreshing surprise. I think they're going out with a bang.

I think the biggest thing wrong with the young people today is, they have no heros. The people in the news are not heros....The ones who claim they are, are just in it for the money and fame. We have no super heros for these kids, in sports, they think they are gods..getting way to much money, breaking laws and thinking they can do no wrong. TV, shows most of the things that are wrong with our lives or a make believe life that makes them think they can get something for nothing...they don`t understand what doing without or having to work for it means. My Mother always told me to learn a trade with your hands then your brain. We had all the make believe heros who showed us right from wrong. The TV had greats like Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger and I can still tell you the names of all the horses and their side kicks. We can`t turn back time but we need to get some REAL heros out their for these kids.

I am in my late 60's and as a child enjoyed comics somewhat. I was always a GREEN LANTERN fan. I have seen all of my younger years super heros come alive on tv over the years. Its a great break from the true daily drudge of the real world.

Great episode, except for the extremely lazy way Godfrey was presented.

First of all, before the "darkness" took him, he was talking about controlling illegal immigration and for law and order (as opposed to the chaos and unlawful actions of vigilantes), then he said, "We may be few..."

Well, I know liberals don't like to accept the truth of this, but there are many people, not just on the right, but in the middle, too, who believe in law and order and curtailing illegal immigration.

While I have nothing but loathing for Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin, I also feel the same exact loathing towards Bill Mahrer and Keith Olbermann and Obamanation.

Evil lies everywhere. Wanting to curtail illegal immigration doesn't make one evil, or petty, or mean you have "darkness" inside you.

You know what's dark? Wanting illegal immigrants who in the country to produce American citizen babies, who grow up beholden to government social programs and more likely to vote for the party that keeps those programs alive.

THAT is darkness.

Yep. Why can't the radio personality ever be a crazy socialist liberal like Keith Olbermann? Why does it always have to be a crazy conservative?

Just lazy.

Lois is not in reporter mode. I hate what they have done to Lois on this show. She is not a real journalist on Smallville. She is a propagandist.

She is just as bad as Godfrey. She reports with an agenda. It reminds me how people bash Glen Beck but hold up John Stewart as some truth carrier. But both are two sides of the same coin.

Lois should not be fighting the heroes battles. She should support them but not to this extent, where she has become nothing but a cheerleader. No journalist thinks everything is so one sided and black/white like this version of Lois Lane.

If she was a real reporter, Oliver Queen could have actually told her the story. But she takes it upon herself to to slant of stories instead of telling them. She more PR than reporter.

no Sam Jones as Pete next week? Or Lana?

I have to disagree, seeing Lois (Erica Durance) back was such a let down. Clark is a GROWN man, he should be able to cope with a lost love, I think just about every person in the world has at one point or another. Still, he goes to pieces? What kind of man, much less a superman, does that? Lois is like a a deer in the headlights, she gets herself in trouble and gets saved. Chloe always took care of herself and the team. Please just write Lois out.

don't say "strap on" and "bondage" in the same sentence.
