Yay!!! Season 2!! Ok Michael and Tom, I’m suggesting that Tom be in studio with you at the start and end of each season please!! If you agree like this comment 😊
There needs to be a Talkville shirt that says "I don't remember"-Tom Welling 🤣 but for real, watching the show is awesome! Ryan's neutral nature and newcomer perspective, Rosie's cynism, comic timing and honesty, and Tom being the good natured amnesiac make this show awesome 💜
That's why it added to her lack of understanding of how she survived. ... and her questioning... it's the kind of thing where you can go crazy not knowing
Tom - I'm sorry I don't remember a scene out of a million I shot 20 years ago Me - doesn't remember what I made for dinner last week 😄 I love his wholesomeness and I'm glad the podcast is back.
I always thought it was really special when Annette and Kristen had scenes together. Knowing that Annette has also played a version of Lana Lang, it was kind of like a passing the torch or like a big sister/little sister moment when they shared a scene. I wonder if that was on purpose?
I remember always loving the chaotic beginning of the episode. Tom and Annette had incredible dynamic as mother and son. I honestly thought Clark would tell Lana what really happened, when really it was just the beginning of the lies that kept them apart. My dad and I have our birthdays today so thank you guys for making it special ❤️
Lana knew, she can't be that dumb 🤣 But then again it is Smallville. Like no human would be able to survive a tornado and all of a sudden Clark is in the truck with her lol
It would be nice if you guys had some of your stunt doubles on. They would probably remember a lot about some of the scenes that you guys forget. Such as Tom in the tornado
They really upped their game for this episode and this season. honestly, I remember season 2 being the season where Smallville became 'must watch' TV for me and remained so until series' end.
My favorite part about Wednesday is back! Between Clark saving Lana from the tornado, Jonathan and Nixon going head to head, and Lex shooting Nixon at the end, this is one of the best season premieres of the series 🌹🌹🌹
I loved how Lana was actually suspicious of Clark. I like how she even mentions how "open" the Kent family is to Martha. Trying to fish for a reaction. It made her character seem intelligent. She continues this for a few more episodes before they unfortunately drop it. And her line of, "you can't hide out here forever" was perfect. In the coming seasons the Clark/Lana drama gets over done, but this was the first big scene where Clark lies to Lana about his secret, and with the perfect tension between the two you can see why they continued it, even if they did probably overdue it in the coming seasons.
This was always one of my favorite openers in the series. The sheer scope of the craziness of the tornadoes and their aftermath was just epic. The sequence of Clark saving Lana was just thrilling, Jonathon being trapped underground with Roger Nixon was interesting as well. Overall, just a fun opener to start off season 2. Love you guys Michael and Tom!😀🙏
Season 2 here we go! 🎉 I remember back in the day teenage me being slightly disappointed this ep. didn't turn into a Wizard of Oz parody with Lana getting sucked up in the twister. "Clark, we're not in Kansas anymore..." I guess the writers decided to go in a different direction.. Lex has magical Kryptonite emerald slippers...🤷♀😆
Agreed that at the end Clark looks guilty because he doesn't want to lie to Lana, he wants her to know the truth even though he is scared to tell her so when she confronts him he just doesn't know what to say. It adds more tension this way. Thanks for doing the podcast, I loved the way you guys got into this episode!
58:30 Lmaoo when Michael talks about his sex scenes being cut this part crack me up 😂 and I love when Michael unintentionally makes Tom laugh to the point that he can't even talk 😂
As someone who's done background acting for a number of productions, I really appreciate Michael speaking out for us. When direction is really dismissive of us, it's hard to care about their silly little show because it seems not to matter whether we do a creditable job or not. But when cast and crew all care deeply about what they're doing, that care just carries over to background effortlessly.
This discussion of the episode regarding the direction is exactly 100% why it would be awesome if your guests were in on the talk from start to finish of the episode. So they can respond/talk about those choices as you are going through it. Hopefully your guests will have the time and be willing to sit for the whole podcast this season!
Season 1 to 5 are definitely my personal favorites, but Season 2 has a special place... all of the Martha's pregnancy and miscarry arch was beautiful; Clark's freak out and attempt to destroy the ship; Jonathan's speech about responsibility and how you have to live with the consequences of your actions really hit me. I think it let us see the characters' motivations and all of the main cast gave awesome performances. Can't wait for Rosey and Tom's insights!
The dovetailing from season 1 finale with season 2 premiere was the best. I will say once Clark enters the twister that transition from Clark to the twister was beautiful.
This was a great season premiere. It jumps back in without missing a beat. I felt that Jonathan conviction regarding Clark, showed how much he loved him and also the length he's willing to go to protect him. It's a testament to the caliber of John Schneider performance.
Another thing I enjoyed was the transition towards the end from the ship in the corn field and hearing the music playing in the background was the perfect way to end the episode. I will say this show used the best songs for their episodes.
John Schneiders acting is so incredible in this episode. The scene where he is choking up talking about Clark as a little kid is such an amazing moment. And I just wish someone would come up to Clark and go “don’t worry Lois Lane is gonna make things better in the future”
He is a great actor , but man I'm up to almost season 4 and I just can't stand his character anymore. To me he is a villian . Like an anti-villian in the same way Deadpool is an anti-hero.
Yes!! The best part of Wednesdays are back. That tornado scene is probably one of the best overall scenes in all of Smallville. Season 2 opener starts with a banger.
A favorite ep of mine from the entire series. It carries over momentum from Tempest really well, the Nixon fallout, the tornado save, Lex darkness/scheming, and even Clark/Johnathan's "flying" convo about the tornado. Plus it still gives me CHILLS when the guitar from "In My Place" plays over the field as the camera pans down on the ship to close out. Such a GREAT and effective ending.
29:43 hahaha how did Tom even miss the last scene?... Lana confronting Clark, the Coldplay song, the sunset and the spaceship... it's easily one of the most beautiful and intriguing endings. Keep the good work, big fan!!
Glad to be back! 15:20 - Why didn’t Clark super speed around town to check on others? Interesting point, I like to think that he develops this scope of responsibility as he develops as a character. First his scope is small, his family and friends, his school, his town, metropolis then in season 9 it starts to become the whole planet that he checks up on.
Started watching this show an episode a week like the podcast but couldn't stop the addiction after the first 3 episodes of Season 1... I'm now up to Season 8 😂
Yes Clark talking about willing himself towards the truck is a key piece of Superman's power kind of like Green Lantern he has to believe and will himself and in the end when his understanding has peaked he will be able to fly faster as well as unlock his full potential with all his powers. Goosebumps!!
Also, Clark has a bigger than normal reason to not tell Lana. His coming to Earth resulted in the death of Lana's parents. While it isn't his fault, it would still be very tough to tell someone you love.
True, Clark didn’t cause this (despite feeling guilt thinking..😑🤦🏻♂️) what happen too Lana’s parents was by utter tragic event of meteor falls☄️ in unfortunate
Same I was two grades behind you, and I remember wanting to go back to school just knowing Smallville waa coming back in the fall 🤣🤣 my mom was so confused 🤣
So glad that Talkville is back! "Vortex" was amazing from start to finish! I blame Clark's parents for him not telling his secret to his closest friends sooner. But like y'all said the series wouldn't have lasted that long if he told Lana, Lex etc this early so I get it. Clark became the king of gaslighting because of it tho 😅and the other side of that was him feeling alone. Clark was definitely a bad liar and didn't want to lie, he was following what his parents told him to do : lie to protect his secrets.
Regarding Lana’s acting like being too curious and making Clark jealous when it was not necessary. She just acted like a child. Whitney’s death made her realize she was wrong. So at the end of the ‘Visage’ Lana promised to Clark not to be so persistent anymore and kept her word until season 3 when he left not only her but his parents too. After that she started again asking him to tell her his secret because she didn’t want such situation to happen again. Remember the end of the season 9? When there was a threat to Clois relationship, Lois insisted on being honest with her too. Returning to Lana. Such moments like ‘Dichotic’ and the end of season 2 made her more mature and later she made Clark to be jealous only if it was necessary and asked to go out herself (for example, at the end of ‘Slumber’ she offered Clark to swim in the lake together).
I got to say I am really enjoying Talk Ville. It's nice to see these two actors enjoy talking about Smallville. Its actually making me want to rewatch the series.
I was so excited to see you all start season 2. This is where I started to love Smallville when I first started watching. Thanks again for keeping up the hard work and all your commentary!!
Thank you for bringing up the situation for the others in the industry. I've been doing background (and crew work) for the past decade or so. I know most of the higher-ups just think of us as living props, but thank you for approaching what we do.
I remember when my husband and I were watching smallville together the amount of times Clark acts extremely guilty and suspicious when confronted about one of his powers or saves. I think it has to do with him wanting to tell the truth especially with Lana whom he wants to be closer with!
I love this episode of Smallville! I give it 3 roses! That was a good point made about Lana being perfectly okay so soon after being caught literally in the eye of the storm! Great performances by everyone. Great effects. I'm so happy Talk Ville is back! I really missed the podcast!!
Just watched Vortex the umpteenth time. The episode is a masterpiece! The last scene, where Lana confronts Clark about the circumstances involved in her survival, then the wide shot of the field and the camera zooms in on the ship, with Coldplay's 'In My Place' playing in the background. That is how you begin a new season! Epic!
Love this podcast! Love the behind the scenes from Tom! Still working on finishing season 1 podcast. I don't think yall give enough credit to the chemistry between Tom and Kristin. Love stories woven throughout series were part of my favorite.
It’s too funny when Micheal, Tom and Ryan laugh at Pete Ross’s “damn, what is that ?”😂🤣. Everything on season 2 was elevated from the season 1. Great work guys and happy new year talk ville
This was so worth the wait! You guys definitely brought your A game. Loved the banter, bts and every single moment. Best part of my day. Thanks for answering my question. 🙏🏻. . This podcast really is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️❤️.
The Smallville finales almost always had SUCH good cliffhangers - before the binge era where every episode has to have a cliffhanger. Love from a 1982 born 🇩🇪
Yeah🙌! Finally Talk Ville Season 2 is here along with Smallville Season 2👏. All aboard, let's go again👍! Many great things in this new Season one of which above all, the discovery of a new power for Clark, the heat vision❤🔥 and much more as always. And as Jonathan told to Clark "Always hold on to Smallville" so we do forever❤! I hope you all had a wonderful and peaceful and blessed Christmas Season all of you guys🤗. Happy New Year 2023❤! Thank you, thank you and thank you! I love you guys❤❤❤! Happy New Year to all Smallville lovers here and there.
I love the way the storm raging on the outside is highlighted by the storm raging within Lex. The storm on the outside causes chaos and loss that people ultimately come back from...changed forever. The same with the storm ex fought on the inside. It changed not only him on the inside but also on the outside with the relationship he has with everyone. Temporarily for the good but....eventually the darkness that raged will win. Find this a really good piece of writing.
My friend Ben would’ve LOVED this episode. He and I spent all last season of Talkville talking about the show and the pod. We both grew up on Smallville. He died before the new year. I’ll always hold onto Smallville just like he did. Love you guys
Just started season 2 a few days ago, i've been watching every episode before bed. Not sure what brought be back to it but its so refreshing to see a series that isn't constantly trying to get you to think a certain way and just enjoy the story take place.
Awesome to be back at the podcast. Such a great episode,great acting by all, special effects were great too. and what a story line to build on. See you next week!!
I love that this season opening episode was basically a microcosm of the entirety of Season 2. There's obviously one episode in this season that stands above the rest (and I'm eagerly looking forward to the podcast for it), but this one was a banger.
So glad you guys are back! This was a great episode. I love hearing your thoughts on the storyline. Also, I laughed so hard when Michael made another "damn, who's that" joke.
I remember when season 1 ended. And being in agony, TV agony, waiting for the season 2 premiere. And it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. And my favorite scene. Was at the end in the loft. When Lana confronts Clark about seeing him in the truck. Great scene between both of them. "Remember Clark, you can't hide up here forever" - Lana
Yes! Finally it's here. Thank you so much Michael. Tom and Ryan. I can't stress enough how much I have been enjoying this. This isn't necessarily criticism, just think of it as a suggestion. Whoever edits these should annotate what episode you're getting ready to watch. That way people know what episode to be relevant about in their phone-in questions.
@@TalkVillePodcast I figured that after the fact of making this comment. Maybe a community post then? Idk, I'm probably in the minority cause I don't have any socials so don't worry too much about it
One of the coolest parts of this podcast with the two stars of the show is the inside information of the reality of being an actor on set. The workplace drama knows no boundaries, and it's interesting to hear how it affected these actors. The more I hear about it, the less of a "charmed life" being an actor seems to be to those outside of it.
Peace to your home. 🙏 Happy to continue the project. Thank you Michael and Tom for this. 👏 Lana's look at Clark in the car, when he rescued her, was very expressive, heartfelt. Kristin is a great actress. 👏💐💯 Health to you and success. 👍
Happy New Year 🎉 Season 2 TalkVille! 🎆❤️💙 Thanks for returning 🌹🌹🌹🤘 Tom and Michael, And Clark just ripping up the truck! Like a Boss! John Schneider being a Legend Physical and Emotional ❤️ and Enter Blind Luthor aka Amazing Acting John Glover! Kerstin with that Eye shot opening of Episode Greg Beeman 👌
So glad that the show is back. And in the season opener, there are so many questions. Old questions answered and NEW questions asked. That is a GREAT way to open a new season. By the way, GUYS, great new episode of the Podcast. By ALL of you. Thank you for doing this.
I love that from Lionel’s perspective he thinks calling Lex son will help him after he’s been a Dick to him the whole time but Lex still cares for his father no matter how stranged there relationship is at this time. John scheinder killed it this whole episode with Nixon then Lex coming to save John & Clark at the end was great & then begins Lionel’s blind arc 😂
In Australia it aired and sold on the dvds as s2e1 best conclusion to a cliff hanger of any show so intense grest acting poor Martha trying not to fall apart, John willing to de for his child, the Clarke and Lex moment that line "Thats the second time you hesitated today Lex" and Lexs expression perfect so many brilliant performances 🌹🌹🌹 best scene is the truck in the twister save as it wrapped apart felt so real
The reason Clark didn't tell Lana his secret is because the meteors in the meteor shower killed her parents and when Clark knew that in S1 he didn't know how Lana would react. That's why he took so long to tell her.
Glad to see the podcast back (was severely missing it these past Wednesdays)! I was a fan of Smallville when it originally aired and stopped watching after season 2, but thanks to this podcast, I revisited it, and I’m really enjoying the show again (just got to season 7). Thanks!
Hey guys, nice to have you back, been really enjoying it so far, but I found it hard to go through some episodes in season 2, especially during the middle part, I really hope season 3 will be better!! Again nice to have you back
Yay!!! Season 2!! Ok Michael and Tom, I’m suggesting that Tom be in studio with you at the start and end of each season please!! If you agree like this comment 😊
Agree! I’m assuming Tom isn’t local to LA, which is where Michael lives, right?
@@luckyDancer100 right, he doesn’t live there. But I just think the ending and beginning of a season deserves them all being in the same room 😁🤣
@@AgsYo , I thought he lives on a ranch in California,unless he moved.
Agree! I understand he doesn’t live by him but would be fun to sometimes see them in the studio together.
That would be good, depends on how far away they live from each other. Definitely though, I'd like to see that.
There needs to be a Talkville shirt that says "I don't remember"-Tom Welling 🤣 but for real, watching the show is awesome! Ryan's neutral nature and newcomer perspective, Rosie's cynism, comic timing and honesty, and Tom being the good natured amnesiac make this show awesome 💜
😂👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
and one of pete saying- damn
Yess!!! I a good idea
And one that says “I’m sorry for shitting on the show”
Lol
"Damn, who's that?" And Tom cracking up at 56:53 is hilarious. Great to have you back, gentlemen.
Will never not be funny
@@TalkVillePodcast If you expand your merch options, I'd buy that tshirt in a heart beat
@@trevorgerardfrederick ohhh such a good idea 😂😂
@@trevorgerardfrederick LMAO 😂😂
@@trevorgerardfrederick i NEED that shirt
Lana not appearing more injured was just a testament to Clark's ability to protect and shield her from the storm.
That's why it added to her lack of understanding of how she survived. ... and her questioning... it's the kind of thing where you can go crazy not knowing
@@iloveu172 Hm.
Tom - I'm sorry I don't remember a scene out of a million I shot 20 years ago
Me - doesn't remember what I made for dinner last week
😄 I love his wholesomeness and I'm glad the podcast is back.
Spot on! I'm surprised that there are parts he remembers a lot of detail about.
HOLY HIGH DEFINITION! Tom looks great from his new cam! A really noticeable difference from last year. Congrats on the upgrade!
Glad you dig it ❤️
Hope he gets better. He seems to have a cold
I always thought it was really special when Annette and Kristen had scenes together. Knowing that Annette has also played a version of Lana Lang, it was kind of like a passing the torch or like a big sister/little sister moment when they shared a scene. I wonder if that was on purpose?
That bloody eyed stare by Lex...chills. Without a doubt the BEST Lex Luthor EVER!!
I agree.
I remember always loving the chaotic beginning of the episode. Tom and Annette had incredible dynamic as mother and son. I honestly thought Clark would tell Lana what really happened, when really it was just the beginning of the lies that kept them apart. My dad and I have our birthdays today so thank you guys for making it special ❤️
I really thought he was going to tell her too. She knew anyway haga
Lana knew, she can't be that dumb 🤣
But then again it is Smallville.
Like no human would be able to survive a tornado and all of a sudden Clark is in the truck with her lol
Happy birthday, fellow January 11th’er (if you’re in the US). Hope you and your dad enjoyed your day!🎉
@@natadunn Thank you!
Happy Birthday to you both! We all felt like Clark was going to tell her every time lol. Wanted her to know so they could be together.
It would be nice if you guys had some of your stunt doubles on. They would probably remember a lot about some of the scenes that you guys forget. Such as Tom in the tornado
They really upped their game for this episode and this season. honestly, I remember season 2 being the season where Smallville became 'must watch' TV for me and remained so until series' end.
My favorite part about Wednesday is back! Between Clark saving Lana from the tornado, Jonathan and Nixon going head to head, and Lex shooting Nixon at the end, this is one of the best season premieres of the series 🌹🌹🌹

Love you guys Michael and Tom!😀🙏
Thrilling is well said. Spot on. Hooks you
@@TalkVillePodcast Yes, itcertainly does. Also the Jonathon/Nixon fight near the end is as well. Love Lex saving the day.
Season 2 here we go! 🎉 I remember back in the day teenage me being slightly disappointed this ep. didn't turn into a Wizard of Oz parody with Lana getting sucked up in the twister. "Clark, we're not in Kansas anymore..." I guess the writers decided to go in a different direction.. Lex has magical Kryptonite emerald slippers...🤷♀😆
So many references!!!
Damn I didn't even think of that, plus you gotta add in the trailer falling out of the sky...Damn what is all that!😉
Tom saying he doesn't want to wear red or blue as he's wearing a blue shirt is good comedy.
Agreed that at the end Clark looks guilty because he doesn't want to lie to Lana, he wants her to know the truth even though he is scared to tell her so when she confronts him he just doesn't know what to say. It adds more tension this way. Thanks for doing the podcast, I loved the way you guys got into this episode!
Need Tom in studio more this season the video chat works but in person would definitely be better for chemistry
You guys need to make a PO box so fans can send Tom red jackets lol
🤣🤣🤣
I always enjoy Tom laughing at Michael.

@51:40 You may not remember what was happening at the time, but you'll always remember the impact / impression that someone leaves on you. Love it.
Yes Clark talking about willing himself towards the truck is a key piece of Superman's power kind of like Green Lantern he has to believe and will himself and in the end when his understanding has peaked he will be able to fly faster as well as unlock his full potential with all his powers. Goosebumps!!
Ryan changing his favorite scene in post is unfair but hilarious.
They never set a rule regarding that so he can get away with it 😂
Also, Clark has a bigger than normal reason to not tell Lana. His coming to Earth resulted in the death of Lana's parents. While it isn't his fault, it would still be very tough to tell someone you love.
That's a very valid point that most people probably didn't think of.
I think it’s just fear and guilt keeping him from telling her or anyone
Hm.
That’s very true. It wasn’t his fault even if he was the reason for it happening
True, Clark didn’t cause this (despite feeling guilt thinking..😑🤦🏻♂️) what happen too Lana’s parents was by utter tragic event of meteor falls☄️ in unfortunate
After waiting all summer and starting 8th grade, I was so excited to watch the season premiere in 2002. That tornado scene blew my mind!

This was so worth the wait! You guys definitely brought your A game. Loved the banter, bts and every single moment. Best part of my day. Thanks for answering my question. 🙏🏻. . This podcast really is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️❤️.
💯 SEASON 2! We made it!
❤️❤️
So glad the podcast is back 🔥🔥 loved this episode, season 2 here we go!
Hope you dig it
The Smallville finales almost always had SUCH good cliffhangers - before the binge era where every episode has to have a cliffhanger.
Love from a 1982 born 🇩🇪
Yeah🙌! Finally Talk Ville Season 2 is here along with Smallville Season 2👏. All aboard, let's go again👍! Many great things in this new Season one of which above all, the discovery of a new power for Clark, the heat vision❤🔥 and much more as always. And as Jonathan told to Clark "Always hold on to Smallville" so we do forever❤! I hope you all had a wonderful and peaceful and blessed Christmas Season all of you guys🤗. Happy New Year 2023❤! Thank you, thank you and thank you! I love you guys❤❤❤! Happy New Year to all Smallville lovers here and there.
I LOVE IT SMALLVILLE! It's my favorite series ever. I watched 5 times all seasons.
I love the way the storm raging on the outside is highlighted by the storm raging within Lex. The storm on the outside causes chaos and loss that people ultimately come back from...changed forever. The same with the storm ex fought on the inside. It changed not only him on the inside but also on the outside with the relationship he has with everyone. Temporarily for the good but....eventually the darkness that raged will win. Find this a really good piece of writing.
My friend Ben would’ve LOVED this episode. He and I spent all last season of Talkville talking about the show and the pod. We both grew up on Smallville. He died before the new year. I’ll always hold onto Smallville just like he did. Love you guys
Just started season 2 a few days ago, i've been watching every episode before bed. Not sure what brought be back to it but its so refreshing to see a series that isn't constantly trying to get you to think a certain way and just enjoy the story take place.
Awesome to be back at the podcast. Such a great episode,great acting by all, special effects were great too. and what a story line to build on. See you next week!!
I love that this season opening episode was basically a microcosm of the entirety of Season 2. There's obviously one episode in this season that stands above the rest (and I'm eagerly looking forward to the podcast for it), but this one was a banger.
I've been looking forward to this since the last episode!! I hope you all had a great holiday!
You too pal
I enjoyed watching Tom laugh… so alive!!! A good way to start the next season.. happy new year to all!
the wednesdays have a purpose again. thanks for doing that. i'm excited what you guys have in store for season 2. and 3-10 :D
greetings from germany
Thanks bud
Really happy you guys are back! When Tom was announced in The Winchesters, I was worried the show was going to end.
So glad you guys are back! This was a great episode. I love hearing your thoughts on the storyline. Also, I laughed so hard when Michael made another "damn, who's that" joke.
I remember when season 1 ended. And being in agony, TV agony, waiting for the season 2 premiere. And it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. And my favorite scene. Was at the end in the loft. When Lana confronts Clark about seeing him in the truck. Great scene between both of them. "Remember Clark, you can't hide up here forever" - Lana
Yes! Finally it's here. Thank you so much Michael. Tom and Ryan. I can't stress enough how much I have been enjoying this.
This isn't necessarily criticism, just think of it as a suggestion. Whoever edits these should annotate what episode you're getting ready to watch. That way people know what episode to be relevant about in their phone-in questions.
Yeah we try to throw stuff on socials ahead of time. Will find somewhere to keep it updatwd
@@TalkVillePodcast I figured that after the fact of making this comment. Maybe a community post then? Idk, I'm probably in the minority cause I don't have any socials so don't worry too much about it
One of the coolest parts of this podcast with the two stars of the show is the inside information of the reality of being an actor on set. The workplace drama knows no boundaries, and it's interesting to hear how it affected these actors. The more I hear about it, the less of a "charmed life" being an actor seems to be to those outside of it.
I love the intro song for talkville. I made it my ring tone! Thanks Rosey!!!!! ❤️
19:12 Pete comes over and says "Damn. What happened?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So glad you're back! Christmas break was too long. Talk Ville is the only thing worth watching right now.
Love to hear that ❤️
Peace to your home. 🙏
Happy to continue the project. Thank you Michael and Tom for this. 👏
Lana's look at Clark in the car, when he rescued her, was very expressive, heartfelt. Kristin is a great actress. 👏💐💯
Health to you and success. 👍
Happy New Year 🎉 Season 2 TalkVille! 🎆❤️💙 Thanks for returning 🌹🌹🌹🤘 Tom and Michael, And Clark just ripping up the truck! Like a Boss! John Schneider being a Legend Physical and Emotional ❤️ and Enter Blind Luthor aka Amazing Acting John Glover! Kerstin with that Eye shot opening of Episode Greg Beeman 👌
So glad that the show is back. And in the season opener, there are so many questions. Old questions answered and NEW questions asked. That is a GREAT way to open a new season. By the way, GUYS, great new episode of the Podcast. By ALL of you. Thank you for doing this.
I love that from Lionel’s perspective he thinks calling Lex son will help him after he’s been a Dick to him the whole time but Lex still cares for his father no matter how stranged there relationship is at this time. John scheinder killed it this whole episode with Nixon then Lex coming to save John & Clark at the end was great & then begins Lionel’s blind arc 😂
In Australia it aired and sold on the dvds as s2e1 best conclusion to a cliff hanger of any show so intense grest acting poor Martha trying not to fall apart, John willing to de for his child, the Clarke and Lex moment that line "Thats the second time you hesitated today Lex" and Lexs expression perfect so many brilliant performances 🌹🌹🌹 best scene is the truck in the twister save as it wrapped apart felt so real
Hey Rosie, I looked up the episode you directed, “Freak” in season 6, and you did end with a close up on your eyes, it’s really cool and different!
The reason Clark didn't tell Lana his secret is because the meteors in the meteor shower killed her parents and when Clark knew that in S1 he didn't know how Lana would react. That's why he took so long to tell her.
First episode of the new year of Talkville Yes!!!!!!
Welcome back bud
@@TalkVillePodcast it's good to be back.
Welcome back gentleman thank you. The laughs you provide me during 3rd shift is a gift
YEEES FINALLY - God bless 2023! 🙌
I love Smallville! Thank you, guys for doing this? Ryan changing his mind about his favorite scene was awesome!
Woo season 2 hwg been looking forward to this all yearrr
Common writers you should've watched Superman: TAS with how Clark shared his secret to Lana and she never phased. She already had a crush on him.
Glad to see the podcast back (was severely missing it these past Wednesdays)!
I was a fan of Smallville when it originally aired and stopped watching after season 2, but thanks to this podcast, I revisited it, and I’m really enjoying the show again (just got to season 7). Thanks!
Woooo!! We are back with season 2
This show did Season Premiers and Finales better than anyone else.
Hey guys, nice to have you back, been really enjoying it so far, but I found it hard to go through some episodes in season 2, especially during the middle part, I really hope season 3 will be better!!
Again nice to have you back
So great to be back in Smallville! Missed you guys so much over the break. LET'S GO! #alwaysholdontosmallville
The best Tv show that changed my Life!! Michael, please, Play Lex Luthor again 🙏🙏❤️
