Smallville "X-Ray" Talkback (Spoilers)

[FLIPMODE]

Um, did he really see Lana totally Nude? That's a Shocker I was waiting for something to come interupt his veiw, but nothing did.

That should be good to play off of.

And how come these teenaged kryptonite Mutants keep killing their parents?

Uh huh. And as if you had x-ray vision in high school, you wouldn't be taking a peek in the girl's locker room, also!

And they keep killing off their parents because they are angry, stereotyped, superpowered teenagers!

I wish someone would kill Clark's parents. They are idiots. Did you see how long it took them to figure out that the evil girl was changing shapes. I mean you have to come to expect things like that considering that you find out that a student has abilities of that magnitude every week.

Kill Clark's parents? I think the relationship between Clark and his parents is one of the strongest bonds in the show. I mean, how likely are you to believe that someone before your eyes is shapeshifting? Even if your son has super-powers, you're not accostumed to seeing shape-shifters in everyday life. Being around weirdness doesnt necesarily prepare you for more weirdness.

I am sure the longer Clark's parents are around, the more used they will get to the bizzare things that happen with Clark and the people he gets involved in, but until then, cut them some slack. The mind isn't going to even comprehend shape shifting all that easilly. It was logical for them to try to see another solution. I bet any normal person would have to see it to believe it. And after Clark's parents see enough, they will learn to adapt their way of thinking and get used to whatever is going on. Just because they are not there now in character development, I wouldn't call them idiots.

I think Mr Kent acts a little too stereotyped. He sounds like a typical "cowboy-hero" type. At least Mrs. Kent is a seasoned actress. She is very believable, especially when that madman was trying to kill her.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that both Clark's mother and Bruce's mother's names are Martha????

[FLIPMODE]

LOL!! :p

The creators must have forgotten. Not, Bob though, they said the basic aspects of Bruce Wayne were created by this other guy.

Martha just sounds like someones old mom.

[FLIPMODE]

HEY!! They would actually make a good story!!!

And if anything, Clark and Bruce, have more in common. They never address this in the comic book.

Martha is an outdated name, isn't it. Well, I am glad they didn't try updating her character by changing her name, tho. Could you imagine a Tiffanie Kent? Nah, it doesn't work.

But you never know, the name might come back into style. My grandmother's name was Gwen, and of course that reminded me of an old woman, so imagine my surprise when that name seemed to start becoming popular again. Such as in Gwen Stephani, and I have run into a few girls here and there with Gwen as their first name. What goes around comes around, I guess.
