I've always been a fan of Michael Ironside, and this episode is one of the best of his roles and my favorite. I especially like how the writers had Ironside state that he put Lois's previous boyfriends through hell to test her and she never said a word until she was with Clark, and that as her dad that he knew she didn't love her previous boyfriends. I especially like the song and the scene of them all enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner together at the dining room table, like a family.
I love how the general says he know's Clark's secret without actually speaking the words. :) He leans in, cocks his head a little bit, and says "...and that's all thanks to the Blur, hm?" - and you can see Clark look visibly uncomfortable for a second, but the Blur saving his daughter changed his mind on the vigilante aspect. :)
@@mikeattard3543 the first few episodes they did. Clark, superman, and General Lane have a chat. But since it was never officially stated that he knew Clark's secret they get away with it
Such a wonderful scene!! Great acting by Mr Ironside and Mr Welling. We get to see Clark work out things with his future father in law and learns that Lois stood up for him proving to her dad that she loves Clark completely. Lovely Thanksgiving scene. A great episode with much to love!!!
I love how they stuck with the most proper way to marry the person who you love. Cuz when you get married, marriage isn't between just two people, rather two families. I miss this show.
At the end of the Video, when Clark talks about Lois and himself and the General turned around, anyone else believe he was thinking: "Say something bad, you little punk. I fucking dare you!"
I wonder if Clark was comparing this Thanksgiving with the last one he shared with Lois. This time, he...not Oliver...has got the girl he’s loved (though he didn’t know it) from day one. ***sigh*** It’s so romantic...❤️
It's a different universe, Tom Welling himself said that. Also, many fans don't consider it canon, all those years of embracing his destiny and he just gives up his powers, it's stupid. Jor-El would never let him do that.
Loved this actor! Clark calling him “Sir,” is so respectful! He was raised right! Sam Lane did the best he could as a father. Lois he raised to be independent and trained her to be a soldier. Now he’s come to realize that she is not a soldier but his daughter. ❤️🙏 Love it when he said “I put those bastards through hell.” lol 😂 Although this scene was beautiful I was always still pining for Chloe to get with Clark. 🙏🙏
Resistance fighter in V-The Visitors, Captain of the seaQuest DSV, voice of Sam Fisher in most of the Splinter Cell series... On the other hand: Voice of Darkseid, almost killed Arnold in The Total Recall... He is good in every role.
When u see Clark in crisis I reflect on this moment and I think wow Clark really must have listened to the general Batman if he saw this: Clark! Always saying yes to anyone with a badge... or a flag!
Also I thought the scene where they were all sitting at the dinner table on thanksgiving and I’m like why isn’t Clark’s mom there. She should have been there for this.
@CheapTrick81 Many others (including myself) have said that a voice over by Chloe or Lois talking about a hero or reading the first article about Superman would be nice. Paired along with your idea I can assure you that I'd be satisfied.
PLEASE someone tell me. Dos Loui's father know, that Clark is The Blure / Superman now after he saved her? I am not sure, but love this scene of father and son talk they have together.
I'm reading the follow-up series (season 11 is a comic instead of on TV), and it's still a bit unclear by issue #8 readcomiconline.to/Comic/Smallville-Season-11/Issue-8?id=38444#9
Yes he does, 100%, that's what makes the scene awesome. :) Watch it again, when he talks about by the grace of god we're going to have a thanksgiving......then he leans in, tilts his head staring clark in the eyes, and says "and that's all thanks to the Blur" It makes clark visibly uncomfortable for a second, he's saying he knows without actually saying it, then right after too he says "I like thinking she has her own personal guardian angel" He definitely knows, 100%, watch it again and how he acts when he says the lines I'm talking about.
Such an impressive performance by Michael Ironside. So awesome to see him playing a good guy here.
He will always be Darkseid and the Sergeant from Starship Troopers.

They got rid of all that in the Smallville Comic which I didn't care for lol
@@icc2010 I bought the collected editions but didn't read them all yet. How far into it did they "undo" this?

I kinda figured he knew, Clark sucks at keeping his hero identity as a secret, at least in the Smallville Verse
Wow. Captain Obvious comments and spells everything out under every one of these clips 🤦♂️

Smallville always has the best acting
It's a real shame these days, to have the integrity to admit you were wrong, is becoming less and less common.
one of the finest acted parts in the series.
aawwww! Was there ever any doubt, Lois loves clark! ♥
yes there was
@@ashleybrito1522 When?? 🤔🤔 Certainly, not since the beginning of Season 8. 😌
Not after he gave her the pipe of steel !!!! Lmao
love how clarks working on the tractor and keeps his white shirt clean
I love how smallville always uses the oboe
The look Clark and Lois exchanged during dinner… 🫠🥹

Michael Irinside....badass actor,well cast in many roles...Oscar material !
If only Oliver showed up just to ask which sister is the better kisser. Than we can see how fast Clark can really move. 😂
Clark would have given him the death stare
I wonder if Clark was comparing this Thanksgiving with the last one he shared with Lois. This time, he...not Oliver...has got the girl he’s loved (though he didn’t know it) from day one. ***sigh*** It’s so romantic...❤️
Ahh that thought ☺ romantic
Anyone else getting fond flashbacks of Michael Ironside (Sam Lane) voicing Darkseid in Superman: The Animated Series?
no
Dude all I hear is Darkseid!
Flashbacks of total recall and starship troopers
This scene makes so much sense when you see Crisis On Infinity Earth and Clark has given away his powers after having kids!
I would never give up my powers and end up with kids
I'm sure we will never see a Smallville reunion but , Clark's powers are not truly gone .
@@Ghost29303 how do you know
@@kevinagustinsantiagojacobo698The Fortress has a chamber to regenerate his powers remember?

happy thanksgiving 2016 everyone
Funny to see M Ironside playing a good guy for a change!
Resistance fighter in V-The Visitors, Captain of the seaQuest DSV, voice of Sam Fisher in most of the Splinter Cell series...
On the other hand: Voice of Darkseid, almost killed Arnold in The Total Recall...
He is good in every role.

Batman if he saw this: Clark! Always saying yes to anyone with a badge... or a flag!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael Ironside did such a great job as general lane. I remember watching him on starship troopers and top gun
Lois is more happy in this thanksgiving than the Last one when she was oliver girlfriend.
I don't know, she looked pretty happy with Ollie
Ironside and durance are both Canadian and look alike!
happy thanksgiving everyone
Smallville Forever
So the General is only half on the side of heroes.
Also I thought the scene where they were all sitting at the dinner table on thanksgiving and I’m like why isn’t Clark’s mom there. She should have been there for this.
i love the fact they got ironside but he should of been the voice of darksied hehe
This wears dark clothes all the time but every time he's going to fix a car wears white
Definitely hearing Darkseid in his speech. A fatherly Darkseid....🤔🤔🤔interesting concept

@bassdelux i thought so to when i heard it, he picked up on jor-els accent LOL
just listen to darkseid
