Best 18th Episode of the Series?

[Jaderoyale]

In your opinion, was Eternal the best 18th episode of the series? Or was it one of these;

DRONE; Season 1
Random classmate running for class president is attacked by a swarm of bees, so naturally, Clark decides to take over the running. Making Pete extremley excited. The next candidate is attacked so naturally, Clark suspects the only remaining candidate, Sasha Woodman. Elsewhere Lex is threatened by a reporter and the Talon is in danger of being closed down because there are no customers. Lana is upset.

VISITOR; Season 2
Some weird teenager called Cyrus has healing powers and claims to be an alien. From non other than Krypton. Clark is intruiged. Lana's horse is dying and she of course, asks for Clarks help, so Cyrus heals the horse. Convincing Clark that he is an alien. But is Cyrus actually from Krypton or just a regular FOTW, and will his "parents" really come to get him? Plus, Lex's token woman, Helen Bryce moves into the mansion, but her key won't open that creepy Clark Stalking room.

TRUTH; Season 3
Chloe gets what can only be every reporters dream; the ability to get the truth from everyone, when she is infected by gas when breaking into a Luthorcorp facility. Though the only person she can't get the truth from is Clark. Chloe uses the ability she has gained to boost her profile hurting people in the process, gets a random kiss from Pete, not to mention getting the truth out of Lionel about his parents death. She eventually falls ill from the ability and it is up to Clark to save her. While Lex continues to work with the FBI to get Lionel arrested.

SPIRIT; Season 4
Dawn Stiles is dumped the day before prom, goes mad and decides to get Clark as her arm trophy, but dies in a car crash before she can snare her prey. Obviously where she crashed is a mother load of meteor rock and her spirit manages to roam Smallville, infecting Martha, Lana and eventually Lois. Did i mention Chloe's up for Prom Queen? And gets it?

FRAGILE; Season 5
Tom Wellings directing debue. Little kid Naomis foster mother is murdered, by non other than shattering glass. Naomi goes to stay with the Kents and naturally becomes attached to Clark, speaking to him for the first time in years. But she can shatter glass, so was she the one to kill her foster mother? Plus, creepy Lexanna started in this episode.

PROGENY; Season 6
Lex is holding Chloe's mother in 33.1 when he discovers she can control people with meteor abilites. Chloe's mother has been trying to break free by controlling Chloe with a bracelet of hers that she owns. Clark and Chloe race to free Moria from 33.1, with Clark nearly letting Lex get shot in the face (LOL). Plus, Clark learns that Lana is no longer pregnant. But not that the baby wasn't real.

APOCALYPSE; Season 7
Tom Wellings 3rd directed episode. Clark goes emo and decides everything thats happened was his fault, so Jor-El gets tough and sends Clark to a world where he doesn't exist. Where Chloe is marrying someone called George, Lois is a pulitzer prize winner and obviously attracted to him, Jimmys wearing that stupid bow tie. And Lex is the president. With a black glove. All fab. Until Clark sees Milton Fine/Brainiac and realises somethings wrong. So he rushes off to stop him. But not before Lois puts him in a suit. And glasses. Back in the real world Clark goes to Krypton to stop Brainiac. All well? Well, Kara drops milk at the end of the episode.

ETERNAL; Season 8
Obviously, Davis. Doomsday. Tess trying to murder him. Chloe upset. Clark blaming himself.


- Please try and contain yourselves and vote after the episode airs ;) -

((Can a mod close the poll till the episode airs please?))

[holehead13]

ooh this is gna be a hard one for Eternal to top. Truth, Spirit and Apocalypse were all fun episodes :)

[IHeartClois]

Did you write these episode descriptions yourself?? They are hilarious!! esp. how Clark 'naturally' has to come to everyone's rescue...heheheheh

[Bre723]

Apocalypse was great and spirit had that classic ending w/ Lana and Clark dancing at prom.
But especially Apocalypse will be hard to beat.

[ZODisGOD]

i already know apocalypse will be the best one.

[marcella]

Apocalypse, before watching Eternal

[LoveHurts38]

APOCALYPSE is my all time favorite for episode 18.

[virginie]

Eternal need to be incredibly awesome to top apocalypse but im gonna wait to see it before i vote!!

[Krypton935]

Eternal need to be incredibly awesome to top apocalypse but im gonna wait to see it before i vote!!

I second that! Apocalypse was AWWWWWEEEESSSOMMMMEE!!!!!! yeah..... but i'm waiting to vote too!

[skylar]

Apocalypse hands down is the best!!!!!

[Alania]

Eternal need to be incredibly awesome to top apocalypse but im gonna wait to see it before i vote!!

I highly doubt it, Apocalypse not only was awesome, but also was a Lois episode and Eternal isn't. So....

[Diego*Chloe]

I higly doubt it, Apocalypse not only was awesome, but also was a Lois episode and Eternal isn't. So....


So if Lois isnt in the episode Eternal cant top Apocalypse? :\

Theres not really that much of a competition well Truth and Progeny were good so lets see if Eternal can top them ;).

[Alania]

So if Lois isnt in the episode Eternal cant top Apocalypse? :\
.

Yep, u got that right!;) But i'll wait, who knows?!

[ledzepfan23]

Eternal was very good but it doesn't beat Apocalypse IMO.

[Melekith]

Apopcalypse. Maybe Truth as a second. Eternal was total crap.

[ZODisGOD]

Apocalypse wins no doubt. Nothing beats Krypton exploding.

[Cellist]

I honestly didn't care for tonight's episode very much. This show has gotten way too dark.

[celita]

Apocalypse

[AgentChaos]

So if Lois isnt in the episode Eternal cant top Apocalypse? :\

I know, right? I'm a die-hard Chloe fan, so most of my favorites are ones where she has a good storyline, but my all-time favorite of season 2 is Insurgence, and she's not in that one.

As for best 18th episode:

Progeny
Eternal
Truth
Spirit
Fragile
Visitor
Drone
Apocalypse

Apocalypse is so overrated. Drone and Visitor may not have been that good, but at least they weren't boring like Apocalypse was.

[Alexander III]

APOCALYPSE!!! It was awesome to see Clark's in another world and seeing KARA (OF COURSE)

[gilliang]

Apocalypse without a doubt. Which is funny since the rest of Season 7 sucked ass.

[kal-el_Girl]

1. Apocalipse
2. Eternal
3. Truth - gotta love all chloe-centered episodes, they're just fun!

[Diego*Chloe]

I know, right? I'm a die-hard Chloe fan, so most of my favorites are ones where she has a good storyline, but my all-time favorite of season 2 is Insurgence, and she's not in that one.

Progeny

Visitor
Drone
Apocalypse

Apocalypse is so overrated. Drone and Visitor may not have been that good, but at least they weren't boring like Apocalypse was.


My thoughts exactly ;)

[wingster55]

Eternal
Apocalypse
Truth
are my top 3

[Night_Hawk90]

meh all these episodes are pretty lackluster im gonna have to go with apocalypse.

[SGuthrie27]

Apocalypse whoops up on all of 'em -- hands down!

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Smallville6]

Apocalypse!!!! One of my alltime faves :D

[akaLane]

Hands down, Apocalypse.

[NinaDavis]

Apocalypse!

[Superhog]

Apocalypse by far, Eternal second.

[green_arrow_girl358]

Eternal definetly gets tops, but progeny is a close second due to a very WONDERful guest star

[Vergon6]

I will have to think about this one more. "Apocalypse" was great and so was "Eternal".

[SnowBird]

Apocalypse

[carlomato]

Eternal

[zorasuperman]

Apocalypse :d

[clois-destiny-forever]

Apocalypse, hands down. No competition, even from Spirit. :)

[latingirl]

apocalypse
eternal

[Supsfan]

I voted for Apocalypse, but I missed that Spirit was on the list and would have voted for that because I am not the hugest fan of AU episodes and found Spirit while not adding much to the show was fun and entertaining. Pretty weak bunch though overall

Spirit
Apocalypse
Truth
Fragile
Drone
Progeny
Eternal
Visitor

I am suprised not more support for Truth, I am not really a fan of Chloe centric episodes(save Hex) but that was her best one(save Hex again) and even I found it entertaining

[lana 9]

spirit

[Lilah]

APOCALYPSE! Hands down! Eternal doesn't even come close!

[The Dark Knight74]

Apocalypse, no doubt. Eternal is 2nd.

[ginnyfan]

Apocalypse. But Progeny and Truth were really good episodes also.

[borednow]

Apocalypse

[Kschreck]

Apocalypse


I agree, this episode was pretty darn awesome. :D

[baltazor]

Eternal was a very good episode but apocalypse was better. Possibly one of the three episodes worth seeing from last season....

[badraven]

I guess I'm an outlier in this one. Here's my take:

1. Progeny (come on...Linda Carter as Chole's mother!)
2. Fragile (one of the most underated episodes of the series IMO)
3. Truth
4. Eternal
5. Apocalypse (a very good episode but I think a little overrated)

and then a big drop off:

6. Vistor
7. Drone
8. Spirit (weakest episode of the 4th season IMO)

[9-SOSIHTWB]

Apocalypse was a great episode!!!

[costas22]

Apocalypse of course.But Eternal was fantastic.The rest?The 2 Chloe heavy ones(Truth and Progeny) stick out a bit.

[Mickey_Bickey]

Apocalypse. I wouldn't even put Eternal as 2nd.

[REebee52]

On the whole, the 18th episodes suck. Apocalypse is well liked by fans, I thought it was okay. Truth was my favorite, but Drone, Visitor, Spirit (one of the series worst), and Fragile are all pretty bad. Progeny was okay, and Eternal was abysmal.

[Minamostaza]

My favorite one if Eternal, then Progeny and finally Truth.

[amalie]

Apocalypse got my vote, Eternal 2nd.

[RaniaLovesClois]

Eternal was good. BUT Apocalypse was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superhippie2000]

id say its a toss up between Eternal and Apocalypse. both were really good. brainiac vs doomsday :\

[Autumn]

Eternal! But I also really love Truth.

[Davis Bloome]

I voted for Apocalypse

[JorEl23]

Best to Worse:

1) Season 8: ETERNAL

2) Season 6: PROGENY

3) Season 3: TRUTH

4) Season 7: APOCALYPSE

5) Season 4: SPIRIT

6) Season 1: DRONE

7) Season 2: VISITOR

8) Season 5: FRAGILE

[stenochick]

I voted for Eternal. I thought it was a really good episode despite the ret-con. Apocalypse was great, but it was an AU. I can't vote an AU higher than something in the real timeline.

[FlashInSV]

This is probably the hardest choice I had to make in episodes.
1.Apocalypse was excellent (CLOIS, anyone?)
2.Progeny had the most amazing scene of season 6 between Chloe and her mother.
3.Spirit was simply hilarious (The crown's mine, bi*ch!)

[Tatiana]

For me Apocalypse was the best, for many reasons..but Eternal comes second

[thehenry89]

Apacolypse by a mile...

[Iluvgreen]

Spiret!!!! That episode rocked! And Lifehouse was in it! :D

[chlo-el]

I loved Eternal it was my top. I find it intersting that Apololypse and Fragile were both 18th episode. since Apoclyse was the ep where Brainiac went back in time and I think he put Davis DNA on Clark's ship.

And fragile because he was helping a foster kid and wondered what his life would be like if he was a foster kid.

[Jaderoyale]

Apocalypse.

[lillie_poo_pod]

I loved Eternal, but Truth wins

[borednow]

Eternal was a very good episode but apocalypse was better. Possibly one of the three episodes worth seeing from last season....

:lol: Man Season 7 needed an editor...

[smallvillefreak24]

I absolutely loved Apocalypse followed by spirit and truth eternal would come after that- but it has some tough competition

[marcella]

Apocalypse, always

[Alania]

Apocalypse
Fragile
Spirit
The rest

[Jack-El49]

Apocalypse rocked. By far the best in my opinion. Eternal...definitely in the top 8!!! All others are a distant third until next season at least.

[Welling21]

apocalypse was great -- but Eternal was AWESOME! i loved the doomsday storyline and especially the ending.

[luthorian]

Eternal, of course, loved it.

[geminis]

Apocalypse, now and forever! Not eternal, no way no how.

[hero`s passion]

hmmm...probably it`s Spirit:) I like it very much, dancing Martha Kent, Lois in pink!!!!but Apocalypse is SOoo close:))))))

[Welling_is_pretty]

Wow, Apocalypse is winning by a lot. I'm surprised. Usually it's the newest one.

For me it was very close between Truth and Eternal but I had to give it to Truth in the end.

[smallvillerocks45]

I love "Fragile" and "Apocalypse" for the mere fact that Tom Welling directed them, "Spirit" was a very funny episode, and I really enjoyed "Truth" - it is an excellent episode. I'm going to reserve judgment for a while... I think I need to see these episodes again, just to be safe.

[ClLaLeChFAN01]

Spirit!

Dawn, "Come on mister Kent, you cant stop me!"

I love how Tome delivered that line, It always has me loling!!!!

[alejandrita439]

1. Apocalypse
2. Eternal
3. Progeny
4. Spirit
5. Truth
6. Fragile
7. Drone
8. Visitor

[topping82]

1) Eternal

Then Truth is close behind!

But definitely Eternal is the best.

[justme_007]

Eternal of course!!!!

[mimi1123]

Wow -- These were almost all fun, but not great, episodes. It was hard to pick a number one but I went for Apocolypse. I rated them below.

1. Apocalypse -- Classic episode with CK the reporter in glasses. Not terrificly written but so iconic.

2. Progeny -- I grew up with Linda Carter as WW, so I really liked seeing her in this (the woman does not age). Chloe was awesome in this one. The ending was sadder than any of the Clana endings. It cemented my hatred for the evil Lex!

3. Eternal -- Pretty well-written and acted. REtcon didn't bother me. Young Davis was great. Tess is moving along a little too fast. And the way they interact, it's weird that she is Clark's boss. I mean, if Clark were true to his character (meaning, his character in this show), he would be freaked out by her and quit the DP. He can get a police scanner for the farm to find out where people need saving.

4. Spirit -- Everyone did a great job playing Dawn Stiles in this epi, including Martha and Clark. And I liked the directing (starting at the end). Lois not as annoying as usual. I like how Chloe says "Now that's a torch," or something like that. Also, Chloe is still pretending she doesn't know Clark's secret, which is fun.

5. Truth -- A great high school episode. Brings back great memories of the early dynamics in this show. And Allison has been such a great actress from the beginning of the show.

6. Visitor -- Another good h.s. epi. Great guest actor. The kid had me fooled in the beginning.

7. Fragile -- I think this is TW's favorite. Me not so much.

8. Drone -- Silly FOTW epi, but that bee-girl was a good actress.

[rebecavaldez]

Apocalypse
One of the best episodes of Smallville time. I think season 7 would have sucked without it.

[Barbara]

There is no competition in this group for me. My hands down favorite of these episodes is

Spirit.

The funny episodes are always my favorites and this one was hilarious. From Martha Kent acting like Dawn Stiles to Lois asking Clark if he had pinned that corsage on her. Chloe being crowned prom queen. It was a riot.

[AgentChaos]

2. Progeny -- I grew up with Linda Carter as WW, so I really liked seeing her in this (the woman does not age). Chloe was awesome in this one. The ending was sadder than any of the Clana endings. It cemented my hatred for the evil Lex!

Progeny is one of the few episodes that can still turn on the waterworks no matter how many times I watch it. It did kill off almost all of my Lex love, though. What he did to Chloe and her mother was unforgivable.

[Superman&Clana]

Spirit for me. One of the funnyest episodes i have ever seen. And the clana ending makes it perfect...

[Marissa]

Apocalypse! Amazing episode.

[gardenia]

Apocalypse.

[zorasuperman]

Apocalypse duh :D

[jpfort1957]

Apocalypse is a hard epp to beat against any other epp.

[JB1986]

Apocalypse without a doubt in my mind. Such a brilliant episode! :)

[Night_Hawk90]

i consider apocalypse to be a vastly overrated episode imho i think visitor is the best.

[Supsfan]

i consider apocalypse to be a vastly overrated episode imho i think visitor is the best.

I can get your apocalypse point(I personally am not a fan of AUs, Time Reversal, etc) but Visitor? I would argue that episode is borderline worst 25 episodes of the series

[Night_Hawk90]

I can get your apocalypse point(I personally am not a fan of AUs, Time Reversal, etc) but Visitor? I would argue that episode is borderline worst 25 episodes of the series

ah come on supsfan we were on a roll we agreed with each other two times in a row. Borderline 25th worst come on i dont think its that bad. Most of the episodes on this list are crap so i had to pick one. Im not saying visitor is awesome but its the best on this list episode 18 is a weak point on this show.

[Supsfan]

Yeah definantly not the strongest bunch of episodes, although I loved Spirit. But I just found Visitor boring as all heck

[Nimkong]

Eternal or apocalypse
