Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S3E09: Asylum

$

Clark knows Lex is only crazy about him, so he decides to try and bust him out of Belle Reve where he encounters the Ghosts of Douchebags Past in the form of Meteor Freaks he put in there.

It’s like Smallville’s Greatest Hits or something…

The Random:
1. Belle Reve is like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest mixed with every horror movie asylum complete with unscrupulous guards, gibbering crazies, and archaic therapies.

2. Claire Foster’s death after deciding to stop mind frying Lex comes as a surprise to exactly no one.

3. It’s a good thing that two massive electrical explosions and surges in a span of five minutes don’t alarm anyone, or the one dead and two escaped patients either…


“Are they treating me well? Look at this getup.
What the hell do you think?!”

The Awesome:
1. Adam makes his first impression on us by basically telling Lana to sack up and stop her incessant whining. I fully approve and endorse this message.

2. There’s a nice little Easter Egg in the form of a newspaper clip that mentions a “Themiscyran Queen,” a nod to Wonder Woman’s mother, Hippolyta.

3. Supervillain teams ups are always a fun part of superhero mythology and half the fun is watching them screw each other over instead of getting the job done.

“Oh, I’m sorry, were you still whining..?”

The WTF?!:
1. Once again, a high school student is able to hack sensitive files to foil the plans of the bad guys. Does no one have a firewall? Or anything secure?

2. What kind of mental institution that houses dangerous individuals lets them just roam freely and access heavy exercise equipment that can easily be used as weapons unsupervised? Oh, right. The one in Smallville.

3. Quick, guess who I am: “I wanted Clark to stay away from me because it’s his fault everyone and everything always tries to kill me. So he did what I wanted and now I’m mad at him for that.” If you guessed anyone other than Lana Lang, put a helmet on and sit in the corner.


“I sure am glad no one in this place minds that I still need
to be naked to split in two ‘cause I LOVE naked time.”
