Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S3E01: Exile

Season Three opens up with Clark all Red K’ed out and partying and looting his way through Metropolis and Lex a volleyball away from desperation on a deserted island.

They really should have been ballsy and had Lex become Green Arrow…

The Random:
1. Clark’s crime spree is set to the backdrop of Good Charlotte which works because when I think “badass,” I think of a bunch of faux punk rockers with bad tattoos singing pop songs to crowds of fourteen year old morons.

2. How in the hell did Smallville score Rutget Hauer?! Either way, his turn as Metropolis crime boss Morgan Edge, however short-lived it’ll be, is well worth it.

3. So when Lex comes back, what exactly do they do with the elaborate memorial obelisk they’ve constructed for his grave? Tear it down? Auction it off? Leave it up for when he does die? Meanwhile, Smallville is having his funeral while he’s going nuts on the set of Lost without Evangeline Lilly.

“4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42…”

The Awesome:
1. Lionel calls out Helen and accuses her of murdering Lex, and then reminds her that while black widows may be formidable, “every predator is somebody else’s prey.” Take that, Dr. Beeotch.

2. Jor El being voiced by General Zod himself, Terrance Stamp, just reeks of awesomesauce. Now, kneel before Jor El!

3. Papa Kent makes a deal with Jor El to get his son back—and gives Clark a Kent sized whooping with Kryptonian powers of his own.

Don’t get used to this Clark, Papa’s a-comin’!

The WTF?!:
1. So the Kents figure out Clark is in Metropolis but don’t seem to have, I don’t know, maybe contacted the authorities? Perhaps sent a “Have You Seen This Whacko” pic out or something? It’s like they checked the farm and the Talon and said, “Eh, screw it, he’s not here. Who wants pie?”

2. Every time Clark’s branding from Jor El bothers him, he needs to tear open his button down shirt to yell at it. There’s gotta be an easier way. Wear some Velcro or something.

3. Lionel Luthor is beyond rich and after three months, he still can’t track down the wreckage of his own private plane? And there’s no real investigation into Helen by the authorities? Sounds like Smallville PD is heading this one…

“Clark, don’t make me spank you on network TV…”
