Episode 210 - 10x14 Masquerade

This week Zach is joined Michael Bailey from From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast to discuss the two hundred tenth episode of Smallville, “Masquerade." They talk Clark putting on the glasses and starting to establish a true secret identity, what that means for this version of the character, the Smallville's (not very faithful) interpretation of Desaad, and the uninspired Date Night A-plot. You don't need microvision to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!Check out Michael's work: The Fortress of BaileytudeEPISODE ROUNDUPZach's Grade: B-Michael's Grade: B-IMDB Grade: 8.0Superman Homepage Grade: 4/5 Bechdel Test: FAILSERIES TALLY BOARD...From Metropolis: 17Amazing Technicolor Kryptonite: 21Amnesia Count: 75Blue Shirt/Red Jacket: 89Chloe's Unseen Connections: 29Clark Loses His Powers: 17Episode Title Said In Episode: 89Hospital Visits: 153In Media Res: 8Injection Count: 57Kent Truck Accidents: 10KOs to Keep Clark's Secret: 61KOs to Keep Oliver's Secret: 4Lana Kills: 7Let's Do The Time Warp Again: 10Lois Arm Punches: 10Lois' Costume Closet: 23Main Character Deaths: 26Mind Control Count: 26Monogram Jacket: 7Movie Plot As An Episode: 24Not The Last Son Of Krypton: 12Possession Count: 32Product Placement Pete: 36Queen Airways: 9Shirtless Oliver: 17Shower Count: 25Shut It Down: 11Shut That Laptop: 35Smallville High School Faculty Deaths: 5Smallville High School Student Deaths: 17Under The Influence: 45Wakes Up Tied Up: 11Weddings: 4"You Weren't Yourself": 37Always Hold On To Smallville is brought you to by listeners like you.
