Smallville rewatch 2026

Previously, on Smallville.

Hold my snark, I'm going in...

Jeremy in the pilot

"That's impossible, he'd be like 26 today"

Lololol, I wonder how old that actor actually was when this was shot – *googles*

Smallville fandom wiki: "He has the look of a 14 year old boy" – Nooo he doesn't.

"Adrian Glynn McMorran (born December 3, 1964)" – And the pilot was shot in 2001. So he was like 36/37! Holy shit. 14 year old boy 😂  Could have been the father of a 14 year old boy. Wild!

Jonathan

My partner, who's watching with me, keeps half-jokingly saying stuff like, "Jonathan is the real villain" etc. Referencing how he's being so mean to Lex. 

I agree that Jonathan was definitely partially to blame for a lot of things, but that's not my take on things at all. Jonathan is basically like, "I just wanted to run my farm and live my simple life. My wife talked me into this [keeping the baby], and now I love him dearly, but god, I did not sign up for all this weirdness, I just want him to be safe".

Leech

"If you had the power to do anything you wanted, what would you do?"

"I'd stop people like you."

Decent

"You're the perfect son. So, so why did Jonathan Kent always seem so stressed? I mean, was raising the perfect son really that much work? I wonder how much of a strain it put on his heart?"

This is such a great line. I love the realness of it. I misremembered when Lex said this, and I thought it was evil Lex when he was split in two. The fact that it was "real" Lex that said it just makes it even better. 

Apocalypse

Lois and Clark walking out, Lois' arm around Clark's shoulders ❤️

Season 9 & 10

My partner pointed out early on in the rewatch that the different Kryptonian characters with British accents sometimes pronounce Krypton as "Krypt'n". I didn't believe him initially. Thought it was only Marlon Brando in Superman the Movie that did that. And there it was. 😂 Zod says it, Jor-El says it. Multiple times.
