Smallville - Jitters

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the time Earl Jenkins (Tony Todd) took hostages at the Smallville plant demanding LuthorCorp fix his deteriorating medical condition he blames on mineral poisoning caused by an explosion at the facility which Lionel Luther (John Glover) covered up. While Earl is correct in all his claims, there’s a lack of evidence to support them. That, and the worsening of his condition, lead to Earl taking matters into his own hands in a desperate search for a possible cure. While the meteor rocks do have an effect on the guest-star of the episode, the differences to the script involving a worker exposed to questionable scientific experiments (and in making Earl a Kent family friend) make it a standout from the other meteor-freaks the show introduced over the first-half of the season, most of whom revel in their new powers.

After wasting several weeks dragging its feet to get the search for Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen)  stared, “Far, Far Away” rapidly accelerates its storytelling racing through events. Arriving in a distant galaxy, which apparently only contains a single planet of interest where both Thrawn and Ezra are both living, our evil doers almost immediately meet up with Thrawn and prepare his return. Released, Sabine‘s (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) begins scouring an entire planet, apparently only inhabited by this galaxy’s versions of Sandpeople and odd rock creatures, for her lost friend which takes less than half a day.
