Subterranean

Oh boy. If there's any Smallville tradition more boring than the "Lana Gets Possessed" episodes, it's the always dull "Clark Becomes Big Brother to a Troubled Youth" episode. This time the troubled youth comes free with a heavy handed and very forced immigration story. Like pretty much every other TV show, when a political message gets tacked on to what's supposed to be an entertainment show it just gets annoying. If you want to add a political or social message to a show, make it entertaining at least. This is about as boring as season 6 gets. There is a bit of a bright moment. We are treated to another small peek at Lex's level 33.1 after the tease in the previous week. It would have been a little better if this peek came back in season 4 when it was originally introduced.

This episode is just okay, definitely not great. It handles some interesting issues about immigrants and portrays some real world problems, but it falls down badly in the final act. There's really no tension and the bad guy isn't the slightest bit threatening towards Clark. We see him defeated in barely a second. It would have made much more sense to see Clark having to at least race to save other people, but instead, there's zero tension.

The rest of the episode was good and it was interesting to see Martha and Clark at odds since that's pretty rare at this point. It was also good to see what a fantastic friend Chloe is once again.

I have been a loyal watcher from the beginning and love the show. To me this season has been a disappointment and this is one of the worst episodes I have ever seen. Sure, Clark saves a boy and reunites him with his mother. Where is the excitement? Where are the super powers? Where is the story going? Are there any more Phantom zoners out there? At least they put up good fights, not like the guy in this episode that can move through the ground like a squirrel. The only good part of this episode was the trailer for the upcoming episodes. Please Smallville writers, lets pick up the pace and get somewhere or end the series before we all get bored to tears.

Someone who knows who to contact or knows how to correct the mistake of placing Tyler Posey name without placing his characters name in the box next to it which Javier! Tyler Posey has not been seen in long while he is really big now! He still has the ability to capture attention on camera!Tyler Posey has done "Maid in New York" with J.LO and Corratial Damage with the Arnold Govenator.What great talent to be working with to start out his career. I cant wait to see what Tyler does next maybe bigger role to push him forward.In this episode Tyler plays Javier a illegal Mexican worker which is a politically sensitive topic right now but the episode featured another meteor freak and the disclosed location with the other meteor freaks locked away by Lex I liked how this episode went it had its stress points were I thought things were going to get out of hand. This sets up the surprise episode coming soon and I cannot wait every episode has been perfect this season and there is still more comic book references yet be to seen.

I honestly really liked this episode. It would make a fantastic movie. I was on the message boards and a lot of people really hated this episode. I'm left clueless as to why. The plot is great, and the ending was amazing, probably one of the best Smallville endings. And the ending shot was also fantastic. I don't want to give to much away. Again, if a writer/director took this plot and made it into a movie, it would SELL! The title of the episode is also very clever. I'm just still stumped as to why people hate this episode so much.

The writing was terrific, the guest star appearance was a great choice. The only thing that got to me, was the Javier didn't even have the slightest bit of an accent. But still, this episode is up there on my favorite Smallville episodes.
