SMALLVILLE: Conspiracy

My bad. So sorry I’m just getting this week’s SMALLVILLE recap up. Sarah was kind enough to get it to me this weekend and I think I might have accidentally erased it.

Hey Smallville fans! How did you like the last episode before we go on yet another break? I have to say I wasn’t exactly in love with it. Better days ahead though! Mrs. Kent and Perry White will be appearing when the show returns and possibly word on Lex and his whereabouts will be coming down the pike as well. The only thing that had me holding on Conspiracy was the changes between Zod and Clark this episode and Chloe and Oliver’s relationship was also interesting. Looks like the season’s turmoil is changing from what it once was.

This week’s chaos came by way of Dr.Bernard Chisholm and his mission to expose aliens living on Earth. Chisholm had the Kandorians and Clark in a panic after he began abducting the powerless beings from CK’s home planet. Clark, who has been busy trying to help his people find their place on Earth without powers, ends up trying to track down the mad man behind this. His previous struggle over resurrecting the towers to bring the red sun into place is now at a stand still since they were conveniently burned to the ground without an explanation! Also involved in this week’s conflict was Lois. Chisholm promises her a great front page headline, just what she needs right now.

Lois and Clark are at a bit of a stand still right now, what with his current conflict and her work schedule. She does however have another run in with Zod. Zod later tells Clark that his thoughts on the humans have somewhat changed. And now that he has his powers back from Clark’s blood and the ability to fly things are sure to get down right messy! I have a feeling there’s plenty of entertaining power struggles ahead. In fact I have a feeling that this is what will push Clark into serious superpower mode. Now that the towers are over and done with Zod will most likely explore other avenues of brining his people back into their former state. I haven’t yet figured out where Tess comes in to play with all of this yet. She seems torn between the two of them.

Now on to the unexpected relationship between Oliver and Chloe! This whole storyline between the pair was surprising me. Not only is Chloe on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to Oliver’s taste, she just seems too robotic to me since Jimmy Olsen’s death to carry on with Olly. And this whole time that she’s turned a bit on the dark side we finally find out that she has been borrowing money from Queen Industries to finance a large kryptonite arsenal of weapons in case Clark isn’t willing to step up to the plate. Something that is sure to affect her relationship with the Green Arrow.

In the end Chisholm dies and Clark still maintains his belief that he mustn’t kill Zod to end all of this. He would rather try and work it out, finding a place on Earth for the Kandorians. Something I’m sure is definitely going to divide him and Chloe by seasons end. Hopefully something we’ll get to see soon in a possible Season 10.

In the meantime, don’t be shy. Drop us a line and tell us what you thought about Smallville’s latest episode?
