In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, we're looking back at Smallville Season 8 and celebrating what might be the show's strongest season yet. From Clark's move to Metropolis and the rise of the Red-Blue Blur to Lois and Clark's growing relationship, Tess Mercer's arrival, Oliver's darkest struggles, and the Doomsday storyline, this season finally feels like Smallville fully embraced its future. For Matt, this is one of his favorite seasons of the series so far, and we talk about why Season 8 feels like the moment the show stopped holding back and became the superhero story it was always meant to be.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, we're breaking down Season 8 Episode 19, “Stiletto,” This one is such a wild mix of chaos, heart, and character growth. We spend a lot of time digging into Lois creating Stiletto. Not just the costume (which we have thoughts on), but what it says about where she's at as a reporter who's tired of being overlooked and just wants her shot. It's messy, it's a little unhinged, and honestly… kind of relatable. We also get into how that whole plan accidentally leads to one of the most important moments of the episode: Lois finally connecting with the Red-Blue Blur in a way that's not about chasing a headline, but understanding him as a person.It's funny, it's awkward, it's surprisingly emotional… and it's a big step forward for Lois Lane becoming Lois Lane.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

This Smallville Season 8 rewatch dives into “Turbulence,” where Clark starts pushing his luck as the Red-Blue Blur, Tess gets way too close to the truth, and everything around Davis, Chloe, and Jimmy spirals into something messy and honestly heartbreaking. We talk about Clark wanting to be seen, that intense plane rescue, and how Tess might already know more than she's saying, while the Davis storyline goes full dark with Jimmy unraveling and Chloe caught in the middle. It's an episode all about trust falling apart—who's losing it, who never had it, and how it all sets up some serious endgame energy for Season 8.Support the channel
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.
