    Maybe it's the best episode of smallville?

    For me it's one of the best episodes , but it's not the best maybe it's the 3rd yeah maybe I'm not sure. A little bit of the justice league it's just fine with me & I love it

    Yeah, this show is going somewhere...

    ...but the only place it's going is down.

    I used to be quite a fan of Smallville, because I liked the idea of retelling the Superman story without the cape, but with each season, especially since the writers killed Lex Luthor and the Kents, it continually degraded and is now but an overblown mixture of cheesy special effects ( I can't believe how BAD some of those look! ), especially whenever someone is supposed to be flying, even cheesier dialogs ( maybe they should hire a writer ), and by far the most untalented cast since Baywatch (unfortunately though, Smallville is not half as entertaining, since it lacks Baywatch's frequent show of girls with large breasts in wet bathing suits).

    In short: Instead of coming up with a new super hero (or villain) for each episode, the creators of this show should have invested their money in a believable story line.

    I am surprised I keep watching this nonsense - must be some twisted sense of nostalgia, since I used to be a big fan of the Superman comic books.

    Two of the worst episodes in the series

    Two of the worst episodes in the series. Looking at the reviews, I think it boils down to this: if you're familiar with DC comic characters and you watch Smallville because it's a superhero show, you probably really liked this. The reviews show that these kind of people were thrilled at these two episodes. If, however, you are like me and watch the show for the human aspects -- the stuff that the first four seasons were about - then this couldn't have gotten any worse. Embarrassingly bad lines, bad writing, lots of looking and macho stuff. Weird voices. Dumb. I rank this as perhaps the dumbest episode since the episode in which Lois, Chloe, and Lana all become witches in the fall of season four. After that episode, I quit watching on Hulu for about four weeks.

    Satisfying Buffet of Hero's

    Bring on the buffet of super hero's.

    This was one of the better episodes of the season, and it had a more sustainable and independent story line than the other Zod-esquire episodes.

    I love Dr. Fate - he is the wise of the old, the Martian Manhunter of the elders. Hawkman's character was also well played.

    I wish they would have included a few marquee players in this episode (Batman, Wonder woman, Flash). But I do understand the rights and legalities involved - so it was in all likely hood a challenge just to get the ones they did have.

    The only complaint I have is using the Iceman-dude as the villain. Stupid. Why use that actor too? Was he Tom Wellings friend? How did the metro sexual guy with the lisp get that part? The fight sequence between Stargirl and Iceman was poorly choreographed as well - so was that particular dialogue.

    Oh well - keeping in mind, it is CW and resources are limited. How about NBC? I heard they need a few more quality shows.

    Anyway, good episode - and like I said - it stands alone, so you don't need to have background of the season in order to enjoy.

    8.5/10.00. - (-2.5) for using that weird actor as the iceguy.

    An hour and a half of pure Cheese

    I am a fan of smallville but this episode was god awful. The regular actors on smallville are not the best in the business but they are usually alright to watch. In this episode they failed. Both the regular actors and the ones brought in for this episode Over acted every line they had. So bad in fact that it reminded me of an 80s after school special. Hawkman with a horrible Christan Bale Batman impression and a whining little metro dude as icicle were the worst characters ever not to mention the bad one-liners by every character in every scene. Then to add insult to injury the make this crap fest an hour and a half long! what a waste of time.

    • Quotes

      Hawkman: [to Clark] Dr. Fate says you're a big deal. I don't see it.

      Dr. Fate: Clark Kent is not like the others. His path is righteous.

      Stargirl: If Dr. Fate says he's okay, that means he's okay, right?

      Clark Kent: Why have you been watching us?

      Stargirl: Sylvester wanted to bring together a new Justice Society - One with the surviving members and us new kids.

      Hawkman: It wouldn't have worked, Courtney. People never learn. This generation will make the same mistakes the last one did like the one before that. Obvious by how you've skipped your homework, you don't even know who we are.

      Clark Kent: You don't who we are either. But none of us here are the bad guys.

      [an arrow is shot into the JSA's framed picture, Oliver enters the Brownstone]

      Oliver Queen: You sure about that, Clark? The winged warrior here threw me through a window.

      Hawkman: I hope I didn't make you cry.

      Oliver Queen: Drop the mace, Conan.

      Hawkman: I will... on your head.

      Oliver Queen: Bring it, Big Bird. Just for the record, you started it.

      Hawkman: I'll finish it.

      [They fight]

      Stargirl: Hawkman, no!

      John Jones: [Enters] I hope it's not too late to say, "we come in peace."
