Episode 189 - 9x15 Conspiracy

This week Zach is joined by Anthony Desiato from Digging for Kryptonite to discuss the one hundred eighty ninth episode of Smallville, “Conspiracy." They talk this being the series' take on the New Krypton arc from the comic books, Agent Zod being a three dimensional villain, Chloe beig an untrusting xenophobic liar, and Clark unwittingly giving Zod superpowers. Don't let the latest Always Hold On To Smallville get lost in the wacko pile!Check out Anthony and his podcasts including Digging for Kryptonite at Flat Squirrel Productions.EPISODE ROUNDUPZach's Grade: AAnthony's Grade: B+IMDB Grade: 7.8Superman Homepage Grade: 3.5/5 Bechdel Test: FAILSERIES TALLY BOARD...From Metropolis: 17Amazing Technicolor Kryptonite: 16Amnesia Count: 70Blue Shirt/Red Jacket: 89Chloe's Unseen Connections: 29Clark Loses His Powers: 15Episode Title Said In Episode: 76Hospital Visits: 147In Media Res: 7Injection Count: 54Kent Truck Accidents: 10KOs to Keep Clark's Secret: 57KOs to Keep Oliver's Secret: 3Lana Kills: 7Let's Do The Time Warp Again: 9Lois Arm Punches: 10Lois' Costume Closet: 15Main Character Deaths: 24Mind Control Count: 25Movie Plot As An Episode: 21Not The Last Son Of Krypton: 46Possession Count: 27Product Placement Pete: 32Queen Airways: 8Shirtless Oliver: 11Shower Count: 24Shut It Down: 10Shut That Laptop: 34Smallville High School Faculty Deaths: 5Smallville High School Student Deaths: 17Under The Influence: 44Wakes Up Tied Up: 11Weddings: 4"You Weren't Yourself": 37Always Hold On To Smallville is brought you to by listeners like you.
