You should get Kristin as a regular on the podcast, different perspective and a big regular on the show. It’d be amazing. Or have her participate on a full podcast episode every few episodes.
I want this too, but maybe Kristin is busy and doesn’t have time. I think she is either still getting her Bachelor’s degree or is recently graduated. She is/was studying history. Maybe she has other acting gigs coming up. But yeah, if she was on more regularly, I would love that.
It's clear she mostly comes on to support her friends, but I don't get the impression she would be interested in being a regular guest. Smallville is part of her past and she's more focused on the present.
I have to say: I have never been a fan of Lana. Her writing as well as some of the specifics of her depiction & mannerisms always made me an anti-fan. But I have *loved* seeing Kristin on the podcast. It was interesting what she said about finding her voice after the the show (or at least after these seasons), maybe that's part of it. Probably mostly down to her being a real person and not being a weakly written character trapped in a CW love triangle :)
glad Tom asked her about Lana's trauma. never realized how profound it was til now I'm doing the re-watch! I had noticed early in season 1 that she was acting like she had abandonment issues, but now I see how true that is. amazing how strong she turns out!
Tom not mentioning anything about using tongue was so funny...Only Kristin could do a zoom from that angle and still look stunning to the point we can see up her nose and no double chin insight😂😂😂 Love love love❤ Made my night, thank you xx
Right the fact that Tom did not once deny it 😂and didn't join kristin when she said that she doesn't remember kissing him with tongue ever and was just laughing his ass off lemme know he remembers and they most likely did in that scene🤣
@@vbrandy7088 I can’t with them .. 😏 and it’s only the season 2. They are not ready with Michael reacting to every kiss ; during the Red episode he noticed they enjoy kissing each other ! 😂
The thing about Kristin Kreuk's portrayal of Lana is that you always sensed there was a smart, level-headed person behind the character. Her appearance here is further evidence of that, particularly her astute comments at 41:19 about how love triangles cause people to reduce and hate female characters. Always a joy to hear what she has to say.
Honestly I did not sense that during the show - in my opinion the character was not written well and I guess I'll leave it at that. But I love how much I'm getting the sense of it now every time Kristin comes on the podcast :)
@@jerodasthe wasn't talking about Lana. He said you could tell that the person who played Lana (Kristin) was a smart, level headed person (and still is) but it's great that you get a sense of it now. And if we're talking about Lana she wasn't a stupid character either, whether she was in the right or wrong there was always a logical explanation for the way she was acting or what she was saying. I think a lot of fans just never try to see things from Lana's perspective.
As for love triangles, the hatred from the insane "shippers" apply to both female and male characters just as much. It just depends on if it's MMF or FFM triangle. Easiest example TVD and Stefan. Since all the teenage girls loved Damon, Stefan was facing an INSANE amount of hatred, for the biggest crime a male character on tv can commit - being "boring". Literally nothing else.
@@MrDziubla I never saw hate towards Stefan, what I saw constantly is fans going crazier about damon than Stefan, but hate never, fans or most of the fans prefer Damon but that doesn't mean they hate Stefan. By the way if these guys received hate from fans and still they CAN be together, why not Ian and Nina and Paul?
Kristin K elevated today’s conversation. Huge THANK YOU for her preparedness and for Michael making it all happen. Can we get more female actors, regulars or guest stars, and film makers from Smallville as guest commentators because CW’s legacy of treating female characters as objects of desire is honestly very, very extensive, and it’s just healing- I mean it sincerely- to go back as adults and interject adult female voice and perspective into all that drama. Please and thank you.
It was a great observation how the love triangles came very close to being designed to make the more intense fans hate the rivals. I like to think I never quite reached that point, but it probably played a part. I've always been a Chloe fan, and while I would've been tickled silly if they went with the wild fan theory that Lois somehow dies and Chloe takes her name as a tribute to her and ends up with Clark, I also acknowledge they didn't have all that much physical chemistry. So I enjoyed Chloe in the somewhat bitter ambiguously villainous role of season 2-3, and she was great in the later seasons as his trusted friend and eventual confidant. Whereas Lana I just did not think was written with as much depth - she was always just "the one destined for Clark who everyone obsesses over and has to save". No fault of Kristin's, just not a good character. But yeah...when I thought Chloe was just way cooler, it was even easier to detest Lana.
Kristin was the youngest regular on set and needed to deal with deranged stalkers because of her damsel in distress TV persona. It was awful. I love that Chloe had a very adult and casual and honest and sexy relationship on later seasons; it was satisfying and a nice easy counterbalance to Clark&Lois’ moving at snailspeed and so calculated old school relationship. I wanted more for Lana. I wanted her bitterness and resentment of Clark’s hypocrisy in later seasons to have more oomph and more screen time. Lois and Oliver had a very adult and satisfying for the viewers resolution to their romance; we believed they were in love, and we believed they eventually transitioned into a healthy friendship. But, somehow, Lana, Clark’s actual comic book friend, didn’t get the season needed to grow into friendship instead of becoming kryptonite. I’m OK with super powers. I’m frustrated that Kristen’s character didn’t get a character arc worthy of seven seasons and independent of the slobbering mess where she loves Clark more than he’ll ever know- or whatever her last goodbye to him was. I’m glad Kristen often reminds people at conventions that it’s OK to have a life after a break up, including for Lana.
Tom has so much emotion conveyed through his eyes throughout this episode. When Lana confronts him in the bombed cellar, his eyes looked crazed. It was amazing acting! 🌹 🌹 🌹
He does such a great job conveying pages of dialogue with just a look! And he just keeps getting better throughout the series. in season 9 Pandora, he's looking into Lois' eyes, he doesnt say a word but in that 2 second shot he speaks volumes
We love Kristin! Thankful that she joined the episode today. Michael, Tom, and Ryan are great but the addition of Kristin takes the podcast to the next level! Thanks for having great guests like her!
Anybody notice Rosenbaum run his hands over his hair and adjust his glasses just before announcing Kristin was joining them? He definitely harbors a coworker crush to this day, lol
Kristin literally doesn't age and is just as GORGEOUS as she was on Smallville! 🔥🔥 Plus it's obvious she's a deeply intelligent woman full of class. I love hearing her perspective on Smallville! ❤
“I think we just opened the mouth!” Lmaooooo Kristin. Everytime I watch with Kristin as a guest, Lex Luther makes it clear he is in love with Kristin 😭😩 poor Tom just always laughs to himself or avoid
There were so many emotional moments in Exodus, from Lana's reaction to Clark leaving, Clark's own emotion just all over his face and body language, and Martha's scene in the hospital. Jonathan too. It was relatable and just so heavy. When an episode takes me on an emotional rollercoaster, I'd say it's a good one for me.
it's so nice to see the three of them in pure harmony, I love Kristin's interaction with Michael and Tom. The participation of the muse elevates the quality of this conversation. Smallville will never be the same without Michael and Kristin! They marked an entire generation ❤
"The participation of the muse elevates the quality of the conversation" this right here is perfeclty said💯and seeing the holy trinity of Smallville reunite is always a treat!
I'm glad Kristin talked about how love triangles bring out pretty ridiculous behavior in a certain subset of fans. There are people who can't seem to separate fiction from reality and it really places actors in the line of fire, so to speak.
@@DanielMazz Some shippers can't tell the difference between Kristin the actress and Lana the character or just because she got the role for Lana. They literally will go to news sites that report on Kristin's new projects and literally attack her as Lana Lang or for Kreuk playing Lana Lang . To this day. Some shippers cannot deal with the fact she is successful as a actress and producer.
The dynamic between them is so pleasing to witness. Like three best friends that despite not spending every day together anymore, they pick up right where they left off last time. And I'm amazed at how fine everyone aged, specially Kristin
Listening to Kirstin talk about literally finding her voice has gotta be one of the most impactful and inspirational things to come out of this podcast. So relatable. 💜
I find it more interesting when you guys have Kristin, love listening to the female perspective of being apart of this show as well as her thoughts on her character. Looking forward to you guys having more female co-stars as the series goes on.
Really glad to have Kristin on this episode. I honestly have never cared for love triangles in shows myself. Drags down a show honestly. I always felt bad for Lana how the majority of people she got close to ended up leaving. Clark though was a constant and certainly good thing in her life. I really loved how strong Lana was in this one, especially at the end. Telling Clark it's not True that he brings pain and suffering. Really loved how she never wavered in giving up on him and believing in him. That's one of the greatest things I have always loved about her character. Made her very special. I believe if she had gone, she could have convinced him to return. Always appreciate these episodes and you guys.❤❤❤🙏🙏
Oh my gosh. Did Kirstin just stop ageing? I could not tell that it's been 20 years for her. It's so great to see her and hear her perspective on the show. The first few seasons were basically her show too.
The scene where Jonathan gives Lex the compass so that Lex could always find his way was powerful. It was a thoughtful gift and it shows that Jonathan has accepted Lex. The green key scene was so well done. I am guessing it was made from Walden’s hand. Lex also used the word pithy in this episode. The ending scenes of this episode was powerful. The Lionel and Chloe scenes was great. It reminds me of a spider luring its prey to the web. The baby was protected by the ship was interesting. Love this episode and y’all. Kristen was awesome.
Seeing Kristin do Martial Arts on the show and her stating here that she did Martial Arts when she was younger makes sense now as her moves are just fluent in the fight scene in the episode "Delete" in Season 3.
Even Michael noticed their kisses. During the episode Red he said « it feels like it’s real ». There was definitely more than chemistry between them 😏🥰
@@Andrea-dp5hsEstamos de acuerdo. Sé que son felices en sus propias vidas, pero si un día los dos están solteros al mismo tiempo, quiero que estén juntos.. 😂
@@sup9542 During the first half of the show, Tom and Kristin had some pretty strong physical chemistry. There was definitely alot of tongue during many, though not all of their kiss scenes.
This episode had a lot of symbolism. Specifically when Jonathan and Martha are hugging in the room and the camera is focused on Clark's reflection which is a literal reflection of the fact that in one aspect or another Clark has a barrier between himself and everyone else even though he is loved, it's showing this.. (no pun intended) alienation that he feels within himself. It's a physical representation of his internal distress and hesitation with people.
How is she not a bigger star? Such a true actress love her in all of her endeavors! I ve never seen her not give a great performance no matter the character!!!
Kristin loved to stay in Vancouver, had no real person interest in Hollywood. She may have gotten more attention than if she did the Hollywood audition thing. Like more films...but she is still a success as actress/producer...
Terrance Stamp is legendary. The special effects light scenes were so well done. The Kent parents had so many lines. His hopes and dreams and choose your own destiny because no one decides for you. Pete had some great lines. The Lionel and Pete scenes were well done. I remember two bloopers from this episode one was when Sam touches the S and Clark says ow. The other was Michael channeling his inner Austin Powers on the plane . Love y’all
Yeees! Kristin❤ is here! I can't believe that is almost a year since pilot episode of Talkville. Still remember how exciting was that announcement video. Good times🙂. Season 3 is the best ( to me) and i'm pretty sure that this one is fan favorite ( fan forums😏). By the way, Exodus was brilliant. That guy JOKIC😃 ( he is from my country Serbia)- ❤ you Rosey.
I really appreciate Kristen’s comments on this episode. Her critique is essential for thinking about how female characters are valued and marketed in fan culture as a whole but especially on a superhero show. There are some scenes that didn’t age well when it comes to female characters finding their path as a whole and it great to learn from them by watching this show. Will recommend this show to my students
Most of these problems that Kristin talked about especially regarding love triangles, happen because of crazy "shippers". And they don't just happen to female characters, in MMF triangles the male characters receive just as much hatred from the "fans". TVD and Stefan, anyone? With all the insane Damon fans, it was absolutely wild to watch.
Man when Kristin mentioning how different everyone is as ppl, watching the show again and the product of the times so to speak. I started watching it again and then i realized how truly different I was at that time too. Now we are all older more mature and you’re seeing all this now and it’s like man…..what a crazy time 😂
@@ceci79949:27 Tom's head confirms everything, nods down, blushes and is like a child who has done something and is discovered and at 36:19, Kristin and Tom have approving knowing looks at their blatant lies 😅
Clark always thought Lana wouldn't accept him if he knew his secret but I am sure she would, like she finally will. This was a great moment to tell her the truth and where he began to lose the chance to stay with her
That was only half the issue. Clark's anxiety is part loneliness from not being human, but also extreme responsibility for those he cares about. Everyone who carries his secret is always in danger and usually up end leaving or dead. Clark couldn't have lived with himself if something happened to Lana because she knew who, or what he was. He lost his best friend (Pete) because carrying his secret was too hard. He'd rather keep Lana in his life at arm's length than lose her or she get badly hurt. It seems a bit "whut?", but to him it made sense.
@@albertocorpa Thanks. I'm not saying I'm totally right, but that's how I see Clark in this show. He carries two massive burdens. One of loneliness and one of responsibility, They test my theory further down the road in Season 5, I think. Where Clark does share his secret with Lana and it doesn't turn out well. It has major consequences and reinforces Clark's resolve not to tell Lana who/what he is.
@@Marvellous132 Yes, I remember that moment and because of that I agree with you. Only i would have loved to see a honest relationship between them like they had in comics
I remember those final moments with Lex and not wanting to wait until season 3 to know what happened. This time Lex didn't have Clark there to save him and you didn't know how he was going to make it. Thanks to everyone for making Talk Ville amazing week after week. Can't wait for everyone to return for season 3.
Awesome episode! I think Kristen's POV is a refreshing element to the podcast. I like that she was so spot on on things even though she watched only this last episode. Joer El being so controlling didn't make a lot of sense, its so true. The drama though really worked for all us back then. We were all so thrilled that they were finally together and we were so happy for Clark, that it made it so much worse to see him like this in the end. That kiss btw ❤ can't just forget that. Kristen swears there wasn't tongue which means she remembers it all too well!
So glad you got Kristin on here, always love to see her. Lana & Clark really progressed in this second season, it was a big one for me when I was a youngin.
Love when Michael teases Tom and Kristin about kissing scenes lmaoo it's hilarious! Noticed that Tom did not once deny that him and Kristin tongue kissed each other in the scene under the tree 😂not when Michael and Ryan brought it up and neither when Kristin came on and denied it lmao. As kristin was saying "no tongue" "I don't remember kissing Tom with tongue ever" you would think he would have said yeah me neither if that was the case but nope Tom was just dying laughing 😂They really gave us some hot and passionated Clana's kisses in season 2 the kiss under the tree, the one in "Red", their first official kiss on his bday... 🔥 🔥🔥
I just think that Tom doesn't like to talk about the kissing scenes at all, so I think he left that with her to say what she wanted. I don't think that means that there's hidden meanings.
My Godess Kristen Kreuk. I had the biggest crush on her growing up. Especially the 1st 4 seasons. She had the best character arc next to Lex. Hey y’all at Talkville.
Great way to end the season! Loved Rosey’s voices and his analysis of Kristen and Tom’s kiss. 🤣🤣. The best. Great to have Kristen on as well. Thank you for being the best part of my week. Looking forward to season 3 and beyond. TGFTVW. ❤❤
Kristin is such a class act. I love that you guys are all willing to do this show and all the cons. I’m sure it’s not easy to schedule all these things along with trying to continue working on new projects and balance your personal lives. Much love for keeping it going❣️
Definitely a nice finale... I really felt for Clark on this one... Imagine being 16 years old and your biological father shows up and not only tells you that you have to leave everyone that you love, but also demands and even attempts to force you to leave so you have to become something before your time... I felt for Lana too because it does take you back to Lana and Clark in the caves and how she said that everyone she gets close to leaves her and it happened again this time around... Chloe just-- I'm not gonna go there today lol... Lionel being Lionel and gaining a new ally... Pete trying to be the voice of reason to Clark, but Clark was so distraught especially after seeing the pain and disappointment in his parents and knowing that he caused that and his Mom's "miscarriage"... When Clark told Pete: "My Dad looked at me like I was an alien", I felt that... Lex not only fighting his demons, but also seeing Helen and Lionel talking... The bright spot in this episode for me Jonathan giving Lex a compass 🧭 as a wedding gift that was passed down to him from his father so we see Lex being like a son to Jonathan (which is what both he and we, the audience, wanted 😊)... I will say that Jor-El was a certified douchebag for me... Cold-blooded wouldn't even do it justice to describe Jor-El in this episode... All in all, I definitely give this episode a strong 🌹🌹(2 roses)... By the way, i have a feeling that Season 3 will receive more roses than the 1st 2 Seasons as it is considered by many as the best Season in the series... It does get dark also so stay tuned for that 😎... #LoveThePodcastFellas #TalkvilleWednesdays
TGI Wednesday!!!! Can’t belive we are in the season 2 finale!! Love this episode! And what a guest star for the ocation!!! So funny the discuss about tongue kiss or not tongue kiss with Kristin 😂 love the special effects!! And the cliffhanger!! Love you guys!! Can’t wait to season 3!!!
Thanks for having Kristin K back on Talkville, awesome way to wrap up season 2! Ever since this podcast started, I always thought that Kristin should have been the 3rd host of Talkville because y'all were the holy trinity of Smallville, the heart and soul of the series. The 3 of you carried the biggest and most important storylines of the series : Clex, Clana and the Clark/Lana/Lex triangle that resulted in Clark and Lex becoming Nemesis. Also having a woman's perspective especially from a main cast member would be a great addition to the podcast. The balance, insights and better understanding she brought to the conversation was really great! Anyway all of this to say that I hope Kristin will be on the pod more often in the future.
I met Kristin in Paris during a fan event. The event was so badly organized and it must have been exhausting and stressful but Kristen was lovely and said I looked beautiful. Thank you for having her on the show, it was a treat ❤
Kristin's insight re the love triangle and how it impacted her/other female actress interactions with fans really opened my eyes to a phenom I didn't realise existed. Premo episode everyone! Looking forward to S3.
Thank you gents for another great season and sharing your experience on the show with us! It’s a testament of how great the show was, twenty years later we’re still holding on to smallville ❤ Having Kristin on season finale was the cherry on top. Looking forward to season 3🎉 #talkvillegang
Kristin!!🥰🎉 Is always a pleasure have the 3 of you together 🫶 I love when Michael makes Tom and Kristin uncomfortable 😂😂😂❤ I really enjoyed this episode, it was perfect ❤
Well, i think we have discovered how this podcast can generate more revenue......Kristen Kreuk. No need to beg for more patreon's, just include her in the podcast. Views will skyrocket. (If's she's wiling)
Thanks for season finale of S02! 🥂🥂🍻🍻 On a side note, Tom ALWAYS plays coy or dodges any and every question about his female co-stars when it comes to those characters getting together on the screen whether it's just some sexual tension or dating. 😂😂😂😂
Wow, what an amazing podcast episode! Season 2 of Smallville has been a wild ride, and "Exodus" was definitely a standout finale. This is the best podcast of the season. Tom and Michael's insights were on point and added so much depth to the discussion. And of course, Kristen was absolutely stunning throughout the episode. Her beauty never ceases to amaze me. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us in Season 3! Keep up the great work, guys! 💯🔥
They should have Kristin based on how significant the storylines that involved her character are in the episodes and when she had to do some out of character stuff or stunts. Cause if this podcast was based how much they actually remember we wouldn't have much 😂Tom and Michael barely remember anything about the episodes they watch. But even if she or they don't remember, hearing their perspective is always interesting and they can always supposed how a scene was shot based on their experience as actors.
Aww Kristin’s back! Always love seeing you guys all together. It’s nice that she took the time to watch it, I enjoyed what she shared! So yeah, it ended season 2 perfectly! Thank you Talk Ville, you guys are the best ♥️!
I love all these guest cameos from the actors from the show! They really make it feel like smallville itself is talking about the show and what they and we loved about it!
LoL. Rosey you had me dying at the tongue kissing impersonations. You always know how to bring out the fun and humor in these episodes. And give a good laugh. Brightens my day. Thank You always so much for that. You are the best my friend.🤣😀😀❤❤❤❤❤
I remember the toxicity in the Smallville fandom back in the day. It sucks that it bled into production and the actors felt that negativity. Kristin and Erica got a lot of hate back then and it was so unnecessary because they’re both wonderful. Not to mention the fans pit the two women against each other when they’re actually amazing friends. It’s nice to see that people have really grown up after 20 years because this fandom sometimes made it really hard to enjoy the show back when it was on the air.😢
It’s a catch 22. To many people let other people’s enjoyment or hatred effect their own feelings of it. There is no reason what so ever to care what some one else feels from watching the show. I watched this whole show and could care less what other fans thought of it at that time. If you sit around and discuss with other fans then you have to be prepared for the emotions they feel when watching it to be expressed. If it’s something that’s going to effect your own level of enjoying it then it’s really simple exit the “fandom” and just watch the show on your own. Or watch it with another like minded person. Almost every character in any romantic arc is some fan’s villain.
Unfortunately there's still hate and toxicity between Clana & Clois fans on Twitter etc. There's fans acting like they're real couples 😬 some won't even mention the character's names because they find them so disgusting 😢 There's also some that love Clark,Lois and Oliver but absolutely hate Lana, Lex and Chloe.
@@jasminemagee410 oh yes, there still are some childish clana and clois fans but I always felt like Chloe/Allison fans were the most vicious out of the entire SV fandom
@@jasminemagee410 Clois fans are probably the worst : the hate they have about Lana while Clana fan appreciates Lois it’s just they prefer Clark with Lana.
Amazing episode! Everyone did such a great job with their performances and the effects were great! Thanks to Kristin for joining once again. And thank you guys for another season ❤
I see what Kristin is saying about "not having found her voice yet" BUT I find that such a positive thing...everything looked SO REAL, SO NATURAL... that scene was very EMOTIONAL because she was...
It’s kind of hilarious listening to them ponder about what would happen if Lana went with Clark to metropolis around the 32 minute mark. Season three starts off with quite literally that exact plot point and then everything that they think would have happened does actually happen 😂
This episode is fantastic. All the acting was incredible and brought so much emotion out. Kristin is an amazing guest star and should be on the podcast more often!!! Loved seeing y’all can’t wait for season 3
The best episode in the show so far, better than the pilot. 3 ROSES. Chapeau!! I had the pleasure of meeting Kristin Kreuk in Dortmund, Germany, in May at the ComicCon there.
What Kristin said about the show unknowingly pitting the female characters against each other is true. I’m guilty of having a bias. I was a Lana stan from the beginning. I was a little tepid about Chloe. I thought she was too nosy and sometimes a bit self-righteous. But I really started disliking her from season 2 onwards. Even when Lois came on the show, and I know that she eventually will be Superman’s love interest, I never warmed-upto her.
I agree with Kristin. The love triangle was SO annoying. I don’t need that much drama for a show to be good. That’s the one thing I didn’t like about the show. Especially considering Tom and Kristin’s chemistry on screen. Those two had some of the best on screen chemistry I’ve ever seen. Almost feels like we got shafted just for extra drama to get people to keep watching. Yet everyone I know that loves the show (obviously a minuscule portion of the fanbase) thought the love triangle was just annoying and wished it would end.
Hi Michael and Tom, I'm really glad you guys started this podcast. My uncle was a really big fan of Smallville, he even had the theme song as his ringtone for years, even after the show ended lol. Whenever it came on i'd always watch it with him. He sadly passed away in 2021, I watch a few of the episodes or some clips now and then whenever I think about him. I just wanted to thank you guys for making my childhood so memorable and fun.
Krisitin looks so beautiful with grey hairs, really stunning. You don't see that often. And the woman so pretty she can even afford to film herself in the worst angle possible, from downside , and still looking amazing. lol
Yay!!!! Kristin ^_^ Thank you so much for having her back on ❤️Can’t believe it’s already the season two finale!!!! So excited to watch this!!! Thank you guys so much for doing this podcast and all your hard work ❤ Enjoy your break ^_^ Happy Talk Ville Wednesday ❤☄️🌽
Kristin could literally play Lana today. The woman just won't age!
Asian genes.
@@killerbee2562 also she was a ambassador or what ever for several antiaging products. i assume she really takes care of herself.
@@killerbee2562she is biracial
if u look closely, she does have some grey hair but yes she's still our girl!!
she definitely doesn't look a day over 30
You should get Kristin as a regular on the podcast, different perspective and a big regular on the show. It’d be amazing. Or have her participate on a full podcast episode every few episodes.
❤
We want to see that, but she shouldn't be doing that for free. If we keep up with supporting the Patreon. It might happen.
I want this too, but maybe Kristin is busy and doesn’t have time. I think she is either still getting her Bachelor’s degree or is recently graduated. She is/was studying history. Maybe she has other acting gigs coming up. But yeah, if she was on more regularly, I would love that.
It's clear she mostly comes on to support her friends, but I don't get the impression she would be interested in being a regular guest. Smallville is part of her past and she's more focused on the present.
It'd be really cool if Kristin can make a regular appearance 😊
Fuck yes!!! Kristen for the finale is just what we needed!
Get a life ! ☺️
But Tom is still not in the studio 😩😩😩. Guess I have to go to one of these comic cons. 😏
I didn't know you could say fuck yeah!.........Fuck YeaaHH!

Thank you for having Kristin Kreuk back on Talk Ville Podcast .
yeah buddy!
facts so good
I have to say: I have never been a fan of Lana. Her writing as well as some of the specifics of her depiction & mannerisms always made me an anti-fan. But I have *loved* seeing Kristin on the podcast. It was interesting what she said about finding her voice after the the show (or at least after these seasons), maybe that's part of it. Probably mostly down to her being a real person and not being a weakly written character trapped in a CW love triangle :)
glad Tom asked her about Lana's trauma. never realized how profound it was til now I'm doing the re-watch! I had noticed early in season 1 that she was acting like she had abandonment issues, but now I see how true that is. amazing how strong she turns out!
This finale is EPIC. Things were never the same in Smallville after this
What do you mean by that?
@@Jimmy9298 the consequences of clarks actions in this episode will cause a lot of character growth and dynamic changes with his family and friends
I mean he had left Smallville, so yeah I imagine things would be different.😄
S3 soon :)
Things really changed in Smallville without Clark. Death rate went up by 50% to 3 people per week.
A way better inclusion of Kristin as she ACTUALLY watched the episode. Makes the pod have way more cohesion.
Tom not mentioning anything about using tongue was so funny...Only Kristin could do a zoom from that angle and still look stunning to the point we can see up her nose and no double chin insight😂😂😂 Love love love❤ Made my night, thank you xx
hahahahah lord
Lmao
Right the fact that Tom did not once deny it 😂and didn't join kristin when she said that she doesn't remember kissing him with tongue ever and was just laughing his ass off lemme know he remembers and they most likely did in that scene🤣
@vbrandy7088 exactly lol even in the witch episode when hes chained and "Isobel" kisses him, we saw what we saw 🤣🤣🤣
@@vbrandy7088 I can’t with them .. 😏 and it’s only the season 2. They are not ready with Michael reacting to every kiss ; during the Red episode he noticed they enjoy kissing each other ! 😂
The thing about Kristin Kreuk's portrayal of Lana is that you always sensed there was a smart, level-headed person behind the character. Her appearance here is further evidence of that, particularly her astute comments at 41:19 about how love triangles cause people to reduce and hate female characters. Always a joy to hear what she has to say.
Well said. I thought the same thing about how insightful it was.
Honestly I did not sense that during the show - in my opinion the character was not written well and I guess I'll leave it at that. But I love how much I'm getting the sense of it now every time Kristin comes on the podcast :)
@@jerodasthe wasn't talking about Lana. He said you could tell that the person who played Lana (Kristin) was a smart, level headed person (and still is) but it's great that you get a sense of it now. And if we're talking about Lana she wasn't a stupid character either, whether she was in the right or wrong there was always a logical explanation for the way she was acting or what she was saying. I think a lot of fans just never try to see things from Lana's perspective.
As for love triangles, the hatred from the insane "shippers" apply to both female and male characters just as much. It just depends on if it's MMF or FFM triangle. Easiest example TVD and Stefan. Since all the teenage girls loved Damon, Stefan was facing an INSANE amount of hatred, for the biggest crime a male character on tv can commit - being "boring". Literally nothing else.
@@MrDziubla I never saw hate towards Stefan, what I saw constantly is fans going crazier about damon than Stefan, but hate never, fans or most of the fans prefer Damon but that doesn't mean they hate Stefan.
By the way if these guys received hate from fans and still they CAN be together, why not Ian and Nina and Paul?
Kristin K elevated today’s conversation. Huge THANK YOU for her preparedness and for Michael making it all happen. Can we get more female actors, regulars or guest stars, and film makers from Smallville as guest commentators because CW’s legacy of treating female characters as objects of desire is honestly very, very extensive, and it’s just healing- I mean it sincerely- to go back as adults and interject adult female voice and perspective into all that drama. Please and thank you.
Solid perspective
Totally agree with you! It's great hearing a woman prespective about the show
It was a great observation how the love triangles came very close to being designed to make the more intense fans hate the rivals. I like to think I never quite reached that point, but it probably played a part.
I've always been a Chloe fan, and while I would've been tickled silly if they went with the wild fan theory that Lois somehow dies and Chloe takes her name as a tribute to her and ends up with Clark, I also acknowledge they didn't have all that much physical chemistry. So I enjoyed Chloe in the somewhat bitter ambiguously villainous role of season 2-3, and she was great in the later seasons as his trusted friend and eventual confidant. Whereas Lana I just did not think was written with as much depth - she was always just "the one destined for Clark who everyone obsesses over and has to save". No fault of Kristin's, just not a good character. But yeah...when I thought Chloe was just way cooler, it was even easier to detest Lana.
Kristin was the youngest regular on set and needed to deal with deranged stalkers because of her damsel in distress TV persona. It was awful. I love that Chloe had a very adult and casual and honest and sexy relationship on later seasons; it was satisfying and a nice easy counterbalance to Clark&Lois’ moving at snailspeed and so calculated old school relationship. I wanted more for Lana. I wanted her bitterness and resentment of Clark’s hypocrisy in later seasons to have more oomph and more screen time. Lois and Oliver had a very adult and satisfying for the viewers resolution to their romance; we believed they were in love, and we believed they eventually transitioned into a healthy friendship. But, somehow, Lana, Clark’s actual comic book friend, didn’t get the season needed to grow into friendship instead of becoming kryptonite. I’m OK with super powers. I’m frustrated that Kristen’s character didn’t get a character arc worthy of seven seasons and independent of the slobbering mess where she loves Clark more than he’ll ever know- or whatever her last goodbye to him was. I’m glad Kristen often reminds people at conventions that it’s OK to have a life after a break up, including for Lana.
Tom has so much emotion conveyed through his eyes throughout this episode. When Lana confronts him in the bombed cellar, his eyes looked crazed. It was amazing acting! 🌹 🌹 🌹
very curious to see where this one lands
He does such a great job conveying pages of dialogue with just a look! And he just keeps getting better throughout the series. in season 9 Pandora, he's looking into Lois' eyes, he doesnt say a word but in that 2 second shot he speaks volumes
We love Kristin! Thankful that she joined the episode today. Michael, Tom, and Ryan are great but the addition of Kristin takes the podcast to the next level! Thanks for having great guests like her!
Ya it was!! But I have to say I’m loving the 3 guys and love that Ryan talks more. I enjoy his feedback because he wasn’t a fan of the show.
of course :)
So true! I hope she will be on the pod more often in the future.
Anybody notice Rosenbaum run his hands over his hair and adjust his glasses just before announcing Kristin was joining them? He definitely harbors a coworker crush to this day, lol
Great to see Kristen back! ❤
yeah buddy! ❤️
Kristin literally doesn't age and is just as GORGEOUS as she was on Smallville! 🔥🔥 Plus it's obvious she's a deeply intelligent woman full of class. I love hearing her perspective on Smallville! ❤
“There was an episode where Lana couldn’t find her cats” 😂😂
"oh really?" 😂😂😂
I love that Micheal unapologetically just asks the spicy questions to Kristen, too funny.
So glad you had Kristin on again!! Please have Emmanuelle Vaugier as a guest if you can!! 🙏
Yessss!
She BETTER be on for episode 2 next season.
“I think we just opened the mouth!” Lmaooooo Kristin. Everytime I watch with Kristin as a guest, Lex Luther makes it clear he is in love with Kristin 😭😩 poor Tom just always laughs to himself or avoid
Its obvious since Smallville he was attracted to her, the older they get, he seems to love to interview her more...lol
@@easyalpha1 Exactly!!!
I've always loved Kristin myself. All the way back to my childhood.
I think that too 😊
There were so many emotional moments in Exodus, from Lana's reaction to Clark leaving, Clark's own emotion just all over his face and body language, and Martha's scene in the hospital. Jonathan too. It was relatable and just so heavy. When an episode takes me on an emotional rollercoaster, I'd say it's a good one for me.
Your comment is exactly what I was going say! 😊
crushing episode indeed
Kristin is absolutely gorgeous 😍
it's so nice to see the three of them in pure harmony, I love Kristin's interaction with Michael and Tom.
The participation of the muse elevates the quality of this conversation.
Smallville will never be the same without Michael and Kristin!
They marked an entire generation ❤
Love the show!
"The participation of the muse elevates the quality of the conversation" this right here is perfeclty said💯and seeing the holy trinity of Smallville reunite is always a treat!
Always feels like a brother sister dynamic when they talk together haha
I'm glad Kristin talked about how love triangles bring out pretty ridiculous behavior in a certain subset of fans. There are people who can't seem to separate fiction from reality and it really places actors in the line of fire, so to speak.
Yes...the screwball Lana haters
just can't deal with the fact Kristin is a real person who works for a living since she graduated high school. Lol
Supernatural - great example. Just awful in that fandom.
Yep. "Shippers" are the absolute worst thing that happened to television. The amount of crazy it brings out in people...
@@easyalpha1what u mean
@@DanielMazz Some shippers can't tell the difference between Kristin the actress and Lana the character or just because she got the role for Lana. They literally will go to news sites that report on Kristin's new projects and literally attack her as Lana Lang or for Kreuk playing Lana Lang . To this day.
Some shippers cannot deal with the fact she is successful as a actress and producer.
The dynamic between them is so pleasing to witness. Like three best friends that despite not spending every day together anymore, they pick up right where they left off last time. And I'm amazed at how fine everyone aged, specially Kristin
Listening to Kirstin talk about literally finding her voice has gotta be one of the most impactful and inspirational things to come out of this podcast. So relatable. 💜
Kristen looks soo flawless ❤ her voice is so calming, it's like falling back in love with Lana in the early 2000s.
I find it more interesting when you guys have Kristin, love listening to the female perspective of being apart of this show as well as her thoughts on her character. Looking forward to you guys having more female co-stars as the series goes on.
Totally agree! I love hearing her prespective :)
Same.
Can’t really have Chloe:/
Really glad to have Kristin on this episode. I honestly have never cared for love triangles in shows myself. Drags down a show honestly. I always felt bad for Lana how the majority of people she got close to ended up leaving. Clark though was a constant and certainly good thing in her life. I really loved how strong Lana was in this one, especially at the end. Telling Clark it's not True that he brings pain and suffering. Really loved how she never wavered in giving up on him and believing in him. That's one of the greatest things I have always loved about her character. Made her very special. I believe if she had gone, she could have convinced him to return. Always appreciate these episodes and you guys.❤❤❤🙏🙏
Women make us who we are growing up today and always
@@jojo6028 Yes, that is certainly very true.
We need Clark, Lana, and Lex together more often! That would be amazing!
She's back! I love the three of you all together again. The holy trinty!
Oh my gosh. Did Kirstin just stop ageing? I could not tell that it's been 20 years for her. It's so great to see her and hear her perspective on the show. The first few seasons were basically her show too.
I know, right?
The scene where Jonathan gives Lex the compass so that Lex could always find his way was powerful. It was a thoughtful gift and it shows that Jonathan has accepted Lex. The green key scene was so well done. I am guessing it was made from Walden’s hand. Lex also used the word pithy in this episode. The ending scenes of this episode was powerful. The Lionel and Chloe scenes was great. It reminds me of a spider luring its prey to the web. The baby was protected by the ship was interesting. Love this episode and y’all. Kristen was awesome.
Therese!!!! ❤️
I truly hope we continue the podcast into the heart of Smallville. We need to see when Chloe finds out, when Oliver Queen joins, and Justice.
Seeing Kristin do Martial Arts on the show and her stating here that she did Martial Arts when she was younger makes sense now as her moves are just fluent in the fight scene in the episode "Delete" in Season 3.
Hell yeah it's Kristin! More of her please... I mean whenever she has time, of course
Been patiently waiting for Kristin to come back 😊
Even Michael noticed their kisses. During the episode Red he said « it feels like it’s real ». There was definitely more than chemistry between them 😏🥰
Cuando vi ese beso me quedé sin palabras y bastante sorprendida por lo real que fue jajaja
@@Andrea-dp5hsEstamos de acuerdo. Sé que son felices en sus propias vidas, pero si un día los dos están solteros al mismo tiempo, quiero que estén juntos.. 😂
Based on Tom’s silence…definitely tongue. She’s a prof-ess-ion-al now but back then, that was a different person…
@@sup9542 During the first half of the show, Tom and Kristin had some pretty strong physical chemistry. There was definitely alot of tongue during many, though not all of their kiss scenes.
@@celiahe2756me too
This episode had a lot of symbolism. Specifically when Jonathan and Martha are hugging in the room and the camera is focused on Clark's reflection which is a literal reflection of the fact that in one aspect or another Clark has a barrier between himself and everyone else even though he is loved, it's showing this.. (no pun intended) alienation that he feels within himself. It's a physical representation of his internal distress and hesitation with people.
Michael : "we have an amazing guest on the show today"
Tom : "the one and only"
🥰🥰🥰
How is she not a bigger star? Such a true actress love her in all of her endeavors! I ve never seen her not give a great performance no matter the character!!!
Kristin loved to stay in Vancouver, had no real person interest in Hollywood. She may have gotten more attention than if she did the Hollywood audition thing. Like more films...but she is still a success as actress/producer...
Even with the most unflattering camera angle, she looks friggin amazing! What a beautiful woman ❤️
Terrance Stamp is legendary. The special effects light scenes were so well done. The Kent parents had so many lines. His hopes and dreams and choose your own destiny because no one decides for you. Pete had some great lines. The Lionel and Pete scenes were well done. I remember two bloopers from this episode one was when Sam touches the S and Clark says ow. The other was Michael channeling his inner Austin Powers on the plane . Love y’all
Schneider and Annette were awesome this episode
When Tom told Kristin “Can you say it again, but this time pretend you’re happy?” I absolutely LOST IT 😂😂😂
Omg I didn't expect Kristin, what a great surprise!!
Kristin Needs to agree to be on this show…I can listen to her talk all day 🥰🥰🥰
Yeees! Kristin❤ is here! I can't believe that is almost a year since pilot episode of Talkville. Still remember how exciting was that announcement video. Good times🙂. Season 3 is the best ( to me) and i'm pretty sure that this one is fan favorite ( fan forums😏). By the way, Exodus was brilliant. That guy JOKIC😃 ( he is from my country Serbia)- ❤ you Rosey.
I really appreciate Kristen’s comments on this episode. Her critique is essential for thinking about how female characters are valued and marketed in fan culture as a whole but especially on a superhero show. There are some scenes that didn’t age well when it comes to female characters finding their path as a whole and it great to learn from them by watching this show. Will recommend this show to my students
Most of these problems that Kristin talked about especially regarding love triangles, happen because of crazy "shippers". And they don't just happen to female characters, in MMF triangles the male characters receive just as much hatred from the "fans". TVD and Stefan, anyone? With all the insane Damon fans, it was absolutely wild to watch.
Man when Kristin mentioning how different everyone is as ppl, watching the show again and the product of the times so to speak. I started watching it again and then i realized how truly different I was at that time too. Now we are all older more mature and you’re seeing all this now and it’s like man…..what a crazy time 😂
09:27 and 36:19 Tom's thinking in the back of his mind "please Lord, don't let my wife watches this" 😂
Yeah especially at 9:27 😂
@@ceci79949:27 Tom's head confirms everything, nods down, blushes and is like a child who has done something and is discovered and at 36:19, Kristin and Tom have approving knowing looks at their blatant lies 😅
I would love a bonus episode where you guys watch bloopers
Clark always thought Lana wouldn't accept him if he knew his secret but I am sure she would, like she finally will. This was a great moment to tell her the truth and where he began to lose the chance to stay with her
That was only half the issue. Clark's anxiety is part loneliness from not being human, but also extreme responsibility for those he cares about. Everyone who carries his secret is always in danger and usually up end leaving or dead. Clark couldn't have lived with himself if something happened to Lana because she knew who, or what he was. He lost his best friend (Pete) because carrying his secret was too hard. He'd rather keep Lana in his life at arm's length than lose her or she get badly hurt. It seems a bit "whut?", but to him it made sense.
@@Marvellous132 Yes, it is totally true. He does what he thinks is right and I understand that
@@albertocorpa Thanks. I'm not saying I'm totally right, but that's how I see Clark in this show. He carries two massive burdens. One of loneliness and one of responsibility, They test my theory further down the road in Season 5, I think. Where Clark does share his secret with Lana and it doesn't turn out well. It has major consequences and reinforces Clark's resolve not to tell Lana who/what he is.
@@Marvellous132 Yes, I remember that moment and because of that I agree with you. Only i would have loved to see a honest relationship between them like they had in comics
"There was no tongue!" I sure believe that as I watch them basically eat each other alive under the tree... 😂
I really loved hearing from Kristin. She's always so insightful. Can't wait for you guys to get to season 3.
I remember those final moments with Lex and not wanting to wait until season 3 to know what happened. This time Lex didn't have Clark there to save him and you didn't know how he was going to make it. Thanks to everyone for making Talk Ville amazing week after week. Can't wait for everyone to return for season 3.
facts love this channel
Awesome episode! I think Kristen's POV is a refreshing element to the podcast. I like that she was so spot on on things even though she watched only this last episode. Joer El being so controlling didn't make a lot of sense, its so true. The drama though really worked for all us back then. We were all so thrilled that they were finally together and we were so happy for Clark, that it made it so much worse to see him like this in the end.
That kiss btw ❤ can't just forget that.
Kristen swears there wasn't tongue which means she remembers it all too well!
52:23 That's what a Lana crush looks like 😂 Every one experiences it ❤
So glad you got Kristin on here, always love to see her. Lana & Clark really progressed in this second season, it was a big one for me when I was a youngin.
Love when Michael teases Tom and Kristin about kissing scenes lmaoo it's hilarious! Noticed that Tom did not once deny that him and Kristin tongue kissed each other in the scene under the tree 😂not when Michael and Ryan brought it up and neither when Kristin came on and denied it lmao. As kristin was saying "no tongue" "I don't remember kissing Tom with tongue ever" you would think he would have said yeah me neither if that was the case but nope Tom was just dying laughing 😂They really gave us some hot and passionated Clana's kisses in season 2 the kiss under the tree, the one in "Red", their first official kiss on his bday... 🔥 🔥🔥
I just think that Tom doesn't like to talk about the kissing scenes at all, so I think he left that with her to say what she wanted. I don't think that means that there's hidden meanings.
@MomoSimone22 or he did really know there was tongue and enjoyed it but he is married and a dad now
My Godess Kristen Kreuk. I had the biggest crush on her growing up. Especially the 1st 4 seasons. She had the best character arc next to Lex. Hey y’all at Talkville.
The Holy Trinity of Smallville, back together AGAIN!🎊🎉
Great way to end the season! Loved Rosey’s voices and his analysis of Kristen and Tom’s kiss. 🤣🤣. The best. Great to have Kristen on as well. Thank you for being the best part of my week. Looking forward to season 3 and beyond. TGFTVW. ❤❤
Kristin is such a class act. I love that you guys are all willing to do this show and all the cons. I’m sure it’s not easy to schedule all these things along with trying to continue working on new projects and balance your personal lives. Much love for keeping it going❣️
Definitely a nice finale... I really felt for Clark on this one... Imagine being 16 years old and your biological father shows up and not only tells you that you have to leave everyone that you love, but also demands and even attempts to force you to leave so you have to become something before your time... I felt for Lana too because it does take you back to Lana and Clark in the caves and how she said that everyone she gets close to leaves her and it happened again this time around... Chloe just-- I'm not gonna go there today lol... Lionel being Lionel and gaining a new ally... Pete trying to be the voice of reason to Clark, but Clark was so distraught especially after seeing the pain and disappointment in his parents and knowing that he caused that and his Mom's "miscarriage"... When Clark told Pete: "My Dad looked at me like I was an alien", I felt that... Lex not only fighting his demons, but also seeing Helen and Lionel talking... The bright spot in this episode for me Jonathan giving Lex a compass 🧭 as a wedding gift that was passed down to him from his father so we see Lex being like a son to Jonathan (which is what both he and we, the audience, wanted 😊)... I will say that Jor-El was a certified douchebag for me... Cold-blooded wouldn't even do it justice to describe Jor-El in this episode... All in all, I definitely give this episode a strong 🌹🌹(2 roses)... By the way, i have a feeling that Season 3 will receive more roses than the 1st 2 Seasons as it is considered by many as the best Season in the series... It does get dark also so stay tuned for that 😎... #LoveThePodcastFellas #TalkvilleWednesdays
Rosenbaum is legit head over heels in love with Kristin, don't blame the man, but see easy to see. She sees him as like a goofy funny brother.
TGI Wednesday!!!! Can’t belive we are in the season 2 finale!! Love this episode! And what a guest star for the ocation!!! So funny the discuss about tongue kiss or not tongue kiss with Kristin 😂 love the special effects!! And the cliffhanger!! Love you guys!! Can’t wait to season 3!!!
Thanks for having Kristin K back on Talkville, awesome way to wrap up season 2! Ever since this podcast started, I always thought that Kristin should have been the 3rd host of Talkville because y'all were the holy trinity of Smallville, the heart and soul of the series. The 3 of you carried the biggest and most important storylines of the series : Clex, Clana and the Clark/Lana/Lex triangle that resulted in Clark and Lex becoming Nemesis. Also having a woman's perspective especially from a main cast member would be a great addition to the podcast. The balance, insights and better understanding she brought to the conversation was really great! Anyway all of this to say that I hope Kristin will be on the pod more often in the future.
I wish she will be in much more episodes of talkville. I love hearing her prespective.
Suggestion for future seasons. There should be a way to ask questions to the guest. Specially for Kristin
Kristin is the best, so happy she was in this episode!
I met Kristin in Paris during a fan event. The event was so badly organized and it must have been exhausting and stressful but Kristen was lovely and said I looked beautiful. Thank you for having her on the show, it was a treat ❤
It was the Paris Manga ?
@@celiahe2756 absolutely
That’s so sweet!
Kristin's insight re the love triangle and how it impacted her/other female actress interactions with fans really opened my eyes to a phenom I didn't realise existed. Premo episode everyone! Looking forward to S3.
Up to this point, so much respect for Helen, seems to have so much integrity.
ruh roh
Exactly! If she was after Lex the whole time I never knew it.
Thank you gents for another great season and sharing your experience on the show with us! It’s a testament of how great the show was, twenty years later we’re still holding on to smallville ❤ Having Kristin on season finale was the cherry on top. Looking forward to season 3🎉 #talkvillegang
Kristin!!🥰🎉 Is always a pleasure have the 3 of you together 🫶 I love when Michael makes Tom and Kristin uncomfortable 😂😂😂❤
I really enjoyed this episode, it was perfect ❤
Well, i think we have discovered how this podcast can generate more revenue......Kristen Kreuk. No need to beg for more patreon's, just include her in the podcast. Views will skyrocket. (If's she's wiling)
Thanks for season finale of S02! 🥂🥂🍻🍻
On a side note, Tom ALWAYS plays coy or dodges any and every question about his female co-stars when it comes to those characters getting together on the screen whether it's just some sexual tension or dating. 😂😂😂😂
Of course! He's being professional and....wise. :D
He ain't trying to get in trouble lol
Wow, what an amazing podcast episode! Season 2 of Smallville has been a wild ride, and "Exodus" was definitely a standout finale. This is the best podcast of the season. Tom and Michael's insights were on point and added so much depth to the discussion. And of course, Kristen was absolutely stunning throughout the episode. Her beauty never ceases to amaze me. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us in Season 3! Keep up the great work, guys! 💯🔥
You guys need to ask Kristen which episode she actually remembers, then have her on for that one
They should have Kristin based on how significant the storylines that involved her character are in the episodes and when she had to do some out of character stuff or stunts. Cause if this podcast was based how much they actually remember we wouldn't have much 😂Tom and Michael barely remember anything about the episodes they watch. But even if she or they don't remember, hearing their perspective is always interesting and they can always supposed how a scene was shot based on their experience as actors.
Kristin is every bit as gorgeous as she was when the show first started. She is breathtaking and ageless
Love Kristin! She is so smart and insightful and as beautiful as ever. Love all three you together please make it happen again next season!
9:20 & 36:17 I just love this whole bit cause Tom knows what’s up & just staying quiet lmaoo
Aww Kristin’s back! Always love seeing you guys all together. It’s nice that she took the time to watch it, I enjoyed what she shared! So yeah, it ended season 2 perfectly! Thank you Talk Ville, you guys are the best ♥️!
Hell yes, Kristen bringing up the issues. I have to go back and rewatch the episode with these POVs I didn't have before.
This woman is why i HAVE NEVER been able to really get on board the Lois train 😂😂😂
(Im like where tf is Lana????)
Same!!
AHAHA, lois is clark’s sister. they can’t be together
Yup!
Same!!
I love all these guest cameos from the actors from the show! They really make it feel like smallville itself is talking about the show and what they and we loved about it!
LoL. Rosey you had me dying at the tongue kissing impersonations. You always know how to bring out the fun and humor in these episodes. And give a good laugh. Brightens my day. Thank You always so much for that. You are the best my friend.🤣😀😀❤❤❤❤❤
I remember the toxicity in the Smallville fandom back in the day. It sucks that it bled into production and the actors felt that negativity. Kristin and Erica got a lot of hate back then and it was so unnecessary because they’re both wonderful. Not to mention the fans pit the two women against each other when they’re actually amazing friends. It’s nice to see that people have really grown up after 20 years because this fandom sometimes made it really hard to enjoy the show back when it was on the air.😢
And from whom? is funny how nobody mentions that it came from Allison's fans
It’s a catch 22. To many people let other people’s enjoyment or hatred effect their own feelings of it. There is no reason what so ever to care what some one else feels from watching the show. I watched this whole show and could care less what other fans thought of it at that time. If you sit around and discuss with other fans then you have to be prepared for the emotions they feel when watching it to be expressed. If it’s something that’s going to effect your own level of enjoying it then it’s really simple exit the “fandom” and just watch the show on your own. Or watch it with another like minded person. Almost every character in any romantic arc is some fan’s villain.
Unfortunately there's still hate and toxicity between Clana & Clois fans on Twitter etc. There's fans acting like they're real couples 😬 some won't even mention the character's names because they find them so disgusting 😢 There's also some that love Clark,Lois and Oliver but absolutely hate Lana, Lex and Chloe.
@@jasminemagee410 oh yes, there still are some childish clana and clois fans but I always felt like Chloe/Allison fans were the most vicious out of the entire SV fandom
@@jasminemagee410 Clois fans are probably the worst : the hate they have about Lana while Clana fan appreciates Lois it’s just they prefer Clark with Lana.
As usual Tom is saying nothing about the kissing 😅😂
Amazing episode! Everyone did such a great job with their performances and the effects were great! Thanks to Kristin for joining once again. And thank you guys for another season ❤
I see what Kristin is saying about "not having found her voice yet" BUT I find that such a positive thing...everything looked SO REAL, SO NATURAL... that scene was very EMOTIONAL because she was...
Yes! Kristin in the Talkville finale and 2 Roses from Rosey. What a grand finale for both season 2 and Talkville. Bring on season 3!
It’s kind of hilarious listening to them ponder about what would happen if Lana went with Clark to metropolis around the 32 minute mark. Season three starts off with quite literally that exact plot point and then everything that they think would have happened does actually happen 😂
This episode is fantastic. All the acting was incredible and brought so much emotion out. Kristin is an amazing guest star and should be on the podcast more often!!! Loved seeing y’all can’t wait for season 3
The best episode in the show so far, better than the pilot. 3 ROSES. Chapeau!! I had the pleasure of meeting Kristin Kreuk in Dortmund, Germany, in May at the ComicCon there.
What Kristin said about the show unknowingly pitting the female characters against each other is true. I’m guilty of having a bias. I was a Lana stan from the beginning. I was a little tepid about Chloe. I thought she was too nosy and sometimes a bit self-righteous. But I really started disliking her from season 2 onwards. Even when Lois came on the show, and I know that she eventually will be Superman’s love interest, I never warmed-upto her.
This is my favorite episode you guys have done. PS: Please have Kristin Kreuk more often. ❤
Kristin is such a wisdom to watch and listen in your podcasts. ☺
Kristin is amazing, as are Michael and Tom! This is so much fun to watch and listen to!
I agree with Kristin. The love triangle was SO annoying. I don’t need that much drama for a show to be good. That’s the one thing I didn’t like about the show. Especially considering Tom and Kristin’s chemistry on screen. Those two had some of the best on screen chemistry I’ve ever seen. Almost feels like we got shafted just for extra drama to get people to keep watching. Yet everyone I know that loves the show (obviously a minuscule portion of the fanbase) thought the love triangle was just annoying and wished it would end.
Hi Michael and Tom, I'm really glad you guys started this podcast.
My uncle was a really big fan of Smallville, he even had the theme song as his ringtone for years, even after the show ended lol. Whenever it came on i'd always watch it with him. He sadly passed away in 2021, I watch a few of the episodes or some clips now and then whenever I think about him. I just wanted to thank you guys for making my childhood so memorable and fun.
Krisitin looks so beautiful with grey hairs, really stunning. You don't see that often. And the woman so pretty she can even afford to film herself in the worst angle possible, from downside , and still looking amazing. lol
Yay!!!! Kristin ^_^ Thank you so much for having her back on ❤️Can’t believe it’s already the season two finale!!!! So excited to watch this!!! Thank you guys so much for doing this podcast and all your hard work ❤ Enjoy your break ^_^ Happy Talk Ville Wednesday ❤☄️🌽
