    Bloodline

    In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, This week on Going Back to Smallville, we’re heading into Season 8 Episode 8, “Bloodline” — the one where a “simple” package yeets Clark and Lois into the Phantom Zone and suddenly their almost-roommate situation turns into a full-on survival pact. We’re talking about how this one trip to the Zone quietly locks in why they work so well together long before either of them is ready to admit it. From Kara’s big return and sacrifice, to Faora wearing Lois’ face, we dig into how “Bloodline” supercharges the Season 8 big-bad storyline while still feeling like a Clois adventure movie.

    Identity

    In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re talking Smallville Season 8 Episode 7 “Identity,” where Jimmy snaps a “miracle rescue” photo of Clark saving Lois, only to catch a red-and-blue streak that Tess is dying to splash across the Daily Planet’s front page. Along the way we’re talking Red-Blue Blur mythology, Lois and Clark’s growing chemistry at the Planet, and how season 8’s whole “double identity” theme hits differently now that we live in a world packed with superhero shows and multiverses. Is Chloe justified in crossing that line for Clark? Was Jimmy owed the truth? We’re unpacking it all in this Smallville 8x7 “Identity” recap and discussion.

    Prey

    In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we dive into one of the creepiest turns the series has ever taken — and it’s all centered around Davis Bloome. From Chloe’s counseling circle to shadowy alley attacks and bloody wake-ups with no memory, this episode had major horror energy. We break down Clark’s trust issues, Chloe’s growing bond with Davis, and that one scene that had us shouting at the screen. Is Davis the monster… or just the beginning of something even darker?

Join us as we relive every twist, every awkward elevator moment, and ask the big question: Was this really the start of Lois and Clark… or just another fake-out?

    Odyssey

    In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into the Season 8 premiere — and wow, this one feels like a whole new show. From new villains to a brand new vibe at the Daily Planet, everything about this episode screams fresh start. We talk about how Smallville hit the reset button (in the best way possible), why Clark’s journey finally feels like it’s moving toward Superman, and how this season opener reignited our love for the series. If you dropped off somewhere around Season 6 or 7… this might be the moment that brings you back.
