Trentus Magnus Punches Reality

Two down, eight to go. In this week's ball-flogging episode, Magnus winds up his long, fond look back at the second season of Smallville in the last of two back-to-back Smallville episodes leading up to the epic, epic, EPIC 100th episode. This week, the spotlight falls on Visitor (a decent but not great episode), Precipice (featuring Clark's first brush with honest law enforcement), Witness (featuring Clark's first efforts to avoid honest law enforcement), Accelerate (where there doesn't have to be a rational explanation for all this), Calling (where Dr. Walden deserves a hand) and Exodus (where Clark "meets" his biological father). Subplots are concluded, characters (or what's left of them) are analyzed, future spoilers are only at most hinted at and the whole son of an enchilada weighs in at a compact hour and a half of undiluted Epic. Because of the amount of multi-layered analysis this week, there's just no opportunity to soak up adoration from the teeming masses. Notwithstanding though, you lowly beggars
