Season 7 is a rough one. Central relationships in Smallville end with... whimpers, rather than bangs. We're taking a break after this one for awhile-- but check out our new show BIG MOVIE CANON! New episodes will drop on this feed for the foreseeable future, but watch us live on YouTube: http://youtube.com/brianzachbrianzach

Lois is in a "Phonebooth" knock-off, kind of. Tom Welling is acting stilted... as a choice? The bad guy's plan don't make no sense.

Clark makes some season one mistakes when it comes to colored rocks from Krypton. Lana the juice goblin does her best to suck up what little juice there is. The writers have completely given up on making Kara's whole deal make any sense.

Lana is a little goblin who stomps into a scene and sucks up all the juice.

Mark as Played

...Because seriously if Lara could just go through a portal and be at the Kent farm before Krypton inevitably blew up why wouldn't she just do that? Not to be like that guy about it, but I'm really so in the weeds on this.

Season 7 comes in with more of a whimper than a bang, with a season premiere that doesn't seem too eager to bring us any new or exciting story threads... but we're still having a good time!

Mark as Played

We wrap up Season 6 with the half-assed season awards ceremony that it deserves. Also the trailer for James Gunn's Superman movie has dropped... we watch it and give our first impressions!
