Smallville Saturday takes us back to the time Amy Adams came to Smallville. Guest-starring as an overweight teen obsessed with shedding pounds, Jodi Melville (Adams) gets her wish when her meteorite-infused vegetable shakes shed her body fat but also leave her with insatiable cravings. Making her a friend of Clark‘s (Tom Welling) offers early clues to what is going on, and the episode giving Jodi a crush on Pete (Sam Jones III) gives him something more to do in the episode as well.

The two-part “Zero Day” explores the reasons behind Task Force X’s bigoted and racist views on Superman (Jack Quaid) which continue in this episode as their controlled soldiers but the Man of Steel down. The major weakness of the show continues to be its villains which unfortunately is more evident when they are given more screentime. The big reveal in the episodes is apparently Kryptonians, or someone using Kryptonian technology, invaded Earth decades earlier doing rather minimal damage outside of a single government group that included Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson) and General Lane (Joel de la Fuente). Of course, the flashbacks we get don’t explain just who from Krypton might have been involved, what their goal was, or why  the short incursion simply stopped.

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the creation of a new meteor freak of the week when high-school lothario Sean Kelvin (Michael Coristine) gets trapped under the ice in the meteor-filled Cater Lake and emerges with permanent hypothermia and a need to draw on fire, electricity, or the body heat of others to stay warm. That’s trouble for his ex-girlfriend Jenna (Tania Saulnier) who doesn’t survive her final encounter with Sean and for Chloe (Allison Mack) who has drawn the attention of the oh too cool football player whose touch can kill. Sean’s powers somewhat mirror that of longtime Superman villain Parasite, who feeds on the energy of others, although the inclusion of his powers being cold-based are quite different.
