During the episode, Michael mentioned the four epilogue pages that appeared in the Superman titles in 1992 during the lead up to the Doomsday storyline.  These are those pages if you haven’t seen them.

Episode 27 – Smallville Season 1: Pilot and Tempest

The BAM Crew (Bethany, Alison, and Michael) are back with one of two episodes that were recorded roughly two months ago but because of real life are not being released until now.

Blame Michael.  It’s all on him.

So, ignore the dates that Michael mentions at the beginning of the episode and hear The Crew talk about the first and last episodes of Season One of Smallville.  From the utter destruction of downtown Smallville (not to mention Lana’s parents) to how the Jonathan and Martha of this series forever changed the perception people have of The Kents, to how fluffy Lex is to how creepy it is that Clark spies on Lana with a telescope to the season finale where Lana is freaked out by Whitney and the battle between Lex and Lionel, The Crew spends roughly two hours going over everything.

Including the obvious sexual tension between Clark and Lex.

IT’S RIGHT THERE!
