Now you may be wondering why it’s taken me a few days to write this review, but I’m still in a bit of shock.
You see, if you watched Smallville Abyss, you either have loved the episode. Or you’re totally peeved off over what the writers have done with one of our favorite characters. You see, what they have done is “massive”.And if you don’t know what, you may want to try watching Smallville here.
Let me try and explain.
First off, I gotta say that Smallville Abyss was interesting, action-packed, emotional, mysterious, and thought-provoking. I guess there was every emotion thrown into it.
Now, I’m still a little confused why they did that thing with Chloe. But I’ll get to that in a sec.
You see, in this episode, we go back to those Chlark scenes. The young Chlark weren’t too special. But that scene where they are running down from the loft into the “Vessel” flashback was pretty cool. You know, we all know how much Chloe likes Clark. I just thought the way she was experiencing these flashbacks and was trying to keep from losing them was well done. I don’t know about you, but my eyes got a bit watery. (Not sure if it was from the scene or the half cooked onions on the hotdog.)
Anyway, what is cool is seeing Clark standing his ground in the FOS! And then, Brainiac taking it over. I just loved that it was complete with Terrence Stamp’s voice turning into James Marsters.
… Real crazy stuff.
Now, I don’t think anyone can mistake Chloe has been taken over by Brainiac. I guess it’s hard to show people that Brainiac was making her say things she didn’t realize she was saying. So they did a good job on that one. Oh. And those flashes of the Brainiac symbols from “Vessel” at certain points was pretty cool too.
Now Davis did an awesome job. You see, that CreepyDavis at The DP in the “Vessel” flashback was freaky.
As for Jimmy. Well, he went all whiny again. Sure I understand he is worried about his fiance. But seriously. You aint no Superman. You see, that’s what Clark is there for. And he was helping Chloe too.
Don’t even get me started on telling her to trust him rather than Clark. What cheek!
Anyway, I think I’ll have to leave my review of what they did to Chloe in another post. You see, this deserves more.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!

As I’ve said elsewhere, Kal-el destroyed the ship remember? How could DNA from Zod’s son survive?
Jor-el forgot to tell Kal-el he can stop Brainiac by using Kryptonite against him while he’s liquefied.
If this is the final season, I hope it’s not going to center on Kal-el/Brainiac. I do understand how he was in league with Zod from Kara & the chronicles of Krypton.
Maybe there will be a supergirl series or all smallville could broadcast on demand. I hope for both or either one.
