Smallville 4x18 "Spirit" Episode Discussion

Spirit...All new Smallville

WB Official Episode Description.

A stunned Chloe (Allison Mack) is nominated for Prom Queen and tries to talk a reluctant Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) into attending the dance with her. However, after her rival Dawn (guest star), a wannabe Prom queen, crashes her car into a ravine filled with kryptonite, Dawn's spirit is released and she enters the bodies of the others making them act out of character. As a result, Lana asks Clark to be her date, Lois (Erica Durance) attends the Prom and Chloe sets the school on fire. Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) gives the seniors a special gift by having the band Lifehouse play at the dance.

Jensen Ackles, John Glover, Annette O'Toole and John Schneider also star.

Whitney Ransick directed the episode written by Luke Schelhaas.

I'm looking forward to posting some Spirit pics after the episode airs tonight.

The previews made this look like a cheesy, typical episode. But, reading the description I'm actually looking forward to it. I was kind of shocked to read that Chloe was nominated for "Prom Queen" ... did I miss something?

It is surprising that Chloe is being nominated for prom queen. I think this will be a great episode & I'm also looking forward to it.

Thanks. I like Train

Without giving anything away, I'll say this episode maybe the last "fun" episode of the season. It's about to get "serious" after that I like fun episodes...esp. if done right.

This looks like another gimmick episode to me. I wish they had just used the episode to deal with the prom and let the characters be themselves, instead of resorting to possession once again.

Come on, isn't the prom supposed to be fun? I don't want "drama" on prom night

It could be fun, but with the normal characters. With their own personalities. It's just rediculous to me that they have to resort to possession for "fun" with these characters. I can probably count the times on one hand when these people just had a fun night out together, or even a fun moment together without any sort of gimmicky possession or kryptonite induced personality trip.

Looks like a nice episode. Will I be completely lost if I missed the last one?

Annette O'Toole singing Lala and talking like a teen!

Question- Does Clark know Chloe knows?

And I haven't seen an episode since Alicia died- since when is Jason evil?

Teaser- Prom already? Wha? I had this mini panic attack that maybe my clocks were somehow an hour wrong and I had missed the episode. LOL, thank you Chloe, Bo deserves that. Oh no, her mascara ran....please don't have my Chloe crying in this episode!! Yay, I love homocidal prom queens, they're totally the best kind. How completely beautiful did AM look there?

School- Chloe is worried about losing Lana to the Tiara Brigade? Hello, she's the captain of that brigade. Also, about darn time we got some Chlana friendship scenes.

Crosby's body's site- Oh, they killed her off! Sorry, Margot.

Torch- Yes, Clark, you should bow to her. Awwwwwwwww, he organized Chloe's prom queendom. There you go, Little Chloe, get his butt in gear.

Talon- You know, I totally knew girls like Dawn in high school. It was sad.

Dawn's Car- "Single long enough?" Bah, the boy has had a girlfriend for about 3 weeks of the last 4 years. He's not captain of the team anymore, right? Where's the appeal? Why not get a different jock?

Kent House- LOL!!! BWAHA! Sad thing is, my mom totally breaks that kind of dancing out once in a while. Lana again, freaking stupid idiotic Clark? Gah, I hope you die. LOL, "you can take me!" Guh, Lois, go back and work things out with the general! LOL, AOT did a FANTASTIC job there. That was the best thing since cheerleading Chloe in Devoted.

Talon- "Orphan girl!" LOL. Best scenes ever!! WHYYYYY? Why the "Clark loves Lana" crap again? It was gooone! Why can't it stay gone?

School- Why is everybody acting like decorating for prom is just soooo OOC for Lana? Like she's never done that kind of thing before? Whatever, SV, I remember her princess ponies and tiaras days. Just cause she wears black now doesn't mean I forgot the years of pink.

Hospital- Awkward Clana, goody. Dude, she killed herself just cause she was a little sliced?

Luthor Mansion- Oooh, another murder in Lex's record? I suddenly fear for Jason's life.

Hospital- Lalalala, I'm gonna ignore Lois so I don't get too negative.

Kent House- Blech for Clana refs. Awwwww, she's such a cute mommy. Ok, so, Clana and Clois already? I better freaking be getting some Chlark after this commercial break! Also, Tom totally snuck a little peak at the Erica boobs. Heh, such a guy.

Gazebo - Lex covered up a crime? gasp! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! Hee, I did like the Google mention though. GASP! Now I am shocked! He was in cohoots with his mom all along? I trusted you, Jason! sniff, sniff.

Prom- Awwwww Chlark smiles. And a mention of the sad Spring Formal Chlark incident. Ok, guess I got my Chlark. WOOOOOOO! She's queen! They love her, they really love her! 'Bout time!

School- Yay, the crying was Dawn's, not Chloe's. "Crown's mine, bitch" LOL! Chloe knows about the Kryptonite! Not Clana, not clana, not clana, not clana Pleeeeeeeease....CRAP.

CRAP CRAP CRAP.

I don't love you anymore, SV. You even had to add in hurt Chloe faces? You guys reeeally want me to watch Lost, don't you?

Let me just add: You had her get deserted at Spring formal, then you have her get posessed so she can't even experience her win, then you make her watch the Clunk dancing that is so rediculous since those two have shared like 5 scenes all season. Why do you delight in tormenting Chloe? Yep, I really don't love you, ptb. I'm giving you til the end of the season to earn back my love.
Next week better be REALLY freaking good, SV.

That was the worst, most contrived ending in SV history. I'm not pleased. At all. How are you going to have the keys to the kingdom with all that great Chlarky build-up, and then it up with an ending like that???

That would sum it up. The episode was ok... but Clana?! Poor Chloe

* Annette - Wonderful acting! She was so damn funny.

* Lois - Along with the Chlark moments, she saved this episode. The allergy thing is always enjoyable. When Dawn left her, she looked at her dress and 'OMG!'

* Chloe - How beautiful was Allison? Excellent acting.

* Chlark - Lovely scenes. They need more screentime together! When Clark gave her the crown back, it was a look of love!

* Jason - Is this the first time we find out about his mother working with him? Shocking!

* Next week - looks amazing. Chloe is such a good friend to Clark. She does so much for him. Another reason why Chlark needs to happen.

Ok it is hard to top last week's ep. But this ep was good for a few laughs and a litttle intrigue. Although it was kind of disturbing, Annette O'Toole dancing around a kitchen to Ashlee Simpson was pretty freakin hilarious. And Chloe not only got nominated for prom queen but she actually won. I have to say way to go Chloe! Although I think the acceptance speech would have been different if Chloe actually had the chance to speak for herself.

There were some really cute moments between Clark and Chloe in this ep. It was sad though to watch her depressed over the fact that yet again she loses out to Lana. Although you had to be an idiot not to see the dance between Clark and Lana coming. I wish that they would stop torturing us by making us watch something that is closely resembles a train wreck in progress. I was kind of hoping there would be a dance with Chloe, but in the end I knew something like that is too good to be true. Interesting how Jason decided to peek in on the moment.

I am really starting to question this guy. He acted so innocent at the beginning of the season as if he was truly a puppet in his mother's larger game. Now he is manipulating Lex into hiring bodies and hacking into computers. The question is did he do the dirty work of killing Crosby or did his mother have the blood on her hands and he just masterminded the cover up? I would just warn Jason that it's called karma, and it can be a real bitch sometimes.

The ep was a little better than I expected. I really liked the performance by Lifehouse. I think next week should prove to be a very interesting ep. Will Clark finally realize the Chloe knows his secret? I really hope so but I am used to being strung along for the fun of it.
