Best new power episode as of now?

[xrayvision]

What is you favorite episode where Clark gets a new power after watching Sneeze? I'm only counting powers that Clark has kept so Crusade doesn't count.

Mine is still Heat. It was just not the same without Jonathan helping him out.

[KU Superdude]

X-Ray = Big Deal
Whisper = So What?
Sneeze = Cool, but *yawn*

Heat = YEAH!!!!

[xrayvision]

Whisper would have been a lot better without all that angst. That really ruined it for me. I liked pretty much everything else (Pete had a good role, and so did the Kents in helping him by whispering and having Clark focus on it). The scene with him wearing the glasses was also good.

[vyperman7]

The best superpower episode will probably always be Heat. I had my hopes up for Sneeze, but it turned out to be lackluster. At least with all the other power episodes, the power Clark was getting was the main focus of the episode. Superbreath felt like a subplot, and really wasn't focused on all that much. At one point, it was used to put out the fire, and we didn't even get to see it. They just had the fire go out. That bugged me.

[Balauru]

I voted whisper it was very cool!

[Nerial]

I really loved how he figured out the superbreath (well, Chloe did, but you know...). Every sneeze had me laughing my a$$ off.

But, alas, Heat is the top dog. Setting fire to his classroom, the father/son interactions, and the popcorn were just awesome.

I liked Sneeze better than Whisper and X-ray, but all episodes where he's dealing with a new power are great. I always love the look on his face when it happens, like...WTF was that? Oh, great, another one!!!

Gotta love it. :D

[superhippie2000]

ya i agree that superbreath was a subplot i thought they would have him train more with it but chloe is just like blow and he did and it worked. i guess it wasnt really a power that needed to be adjusted he just needed to stop sneezing which is easy. all he needs to to is work out power levels for small things and big things and adjust the temp so it can freeze.

anyway i guess basing it on the episode that it was introduced and how things played out i guess i would have to go with heat too. but as a power i like superbreathe cause there are so many fun things he can do with it. if they actually made a episode focused on superjump that could have been my fav but they didnt they just showed him do bits of it now and then so ya ill stick with heat.

[myankskent]

I have to go with the heat vision. The superbreath wasn't as pivotal to the episode itself as the heat vision was.

[MBCorp]

Heat definitely. Sneeze wasn't even a very good episode, let alone a good new power episode.

[D.M.A.]

the FX of sneeze was good but heat was the best,I'm not knockin sneeze tho it was good.If they cut the lex parts down it would have been great

[InLove_with_Chloe]

I will have to say 'heat', after all I have vivid memories of the bio teacher...
Sorry.
:p

[Theshadow129x]

yea heat was teh best power episode. i mean it had comedy and everything it was just the best episode for his powers but i also liked heat and i loved whisper when he got his eyes burned with that blow torch lmao that was awesome

[Kreukie]

One of the my top favorite Clana episodes and favorite season over-all!

And the comedy wasn't overdone like in Sneeze. It was properly used and not forced (was a result of Clark training or using his powers). Sneeze just had too much (like Chloe & Lois going out and wasting loads of time by the barn door). Why the hell would Clark leave it there anyway? He would normally run out and bring it back.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Actually, if one consiedered Chlark a power, then this might have been the best epi so far...
;)

[Pal-El]

I liked the comedy. The show has been dark for a while so it was nice to see.

I also loved the sfx for the superbreath. After hearing millar and gough say they didnt want to do it, because they didnt want it to look all cheap and cheesey, and then seeing the preview on cwtv.com, I wasnt looking forward to it.

But thankfully they added some extra effects that the trailer didnt have.

[TheSupaMan]

Sneeze was pretty good. Better than I imagined. But Heat was pretty hot. No pun intended.

I haven't seen the episode yet but I got it recored at home. But based on what you are telling me. Once again the almighty goddess Chloe sulivan who knows the everything about Kryptonians now, onces agains solves CLarks problem. And makes him look like a retard. Please tell me this not what happens in this episode?

[lilkoolmaria]

I still gotta go with Heat. That epsode was great and hilarious. But Sneeze is a close second.

[Kara15]

I think my favorite new power episode will always be Heat.

[ISUZU]

Ok - lets all be honest here - especially the male (non-gay posters) - the one thing that made heat was that bio teacher - you have to admit after seeing her - its gonna be hard for any of the other power episodes to compete. I would then vote for Sneeze.

Can I also just be clear - some of you are talking nonsense regarding sneeze having clarks new power as just a sub-plot and saying the other episodes the new power was the main focus. That is just rubbish - take a look at this:

1) Heat - Clark gets new power and has trouble controlling it but more importantly the story was focussed on Lex about to marry that Bio teacher and her turning JK on Lex and Lex on Clark - while Clark tries to resolve the issues.

2) Whisper - His hearing develops but against the main focus is on Pete getting kidnapped and Clark being blind which took up most of the show, and Lionel pestering Chloe for info why everyone else went deaf but the farmboy turned blind.

3) X-ray - very little impact and the first of the Tina episodes - the shapeshifter who loves Lana - that was a pretty big story line in itself and I think the enemy's power in this episode was more of a headline than Clarks X-ray.

So - I say to you all that Sneeze was no different to any of the other 'new' power episodes. They all have a common theme which is that Clark discovers a new power which is a sub-plot to a bigger story. Also in these episodes he gets help to focus his new power, and uses the new power to help him do his stuff to resolve the bigger story line. There are also moments of miss-control with the new power in these episodes.

I think people are confusing plots and subplots with what there most liked super power is. If most of us had to choose I think it would be the heat-vision ( and a date with the bio teacher !!!:D ).

Yes but the screen time allocated to developing each power may have been more in the earlier episodes than Sneeze. I dont know, Im just speculating, but it did seem like there wasn't as much in Sneeze as the previous 'new power' episodes. I was pleased with the outcome regardless.

[chlarkfan333]

I voted for Heat although I like them all. 'Heat' b/c the trigger for his power was comical.

[Lightning Flash]

"Heat" which guy can't deny it? It was a hot epi...

[margroks]

I can understand why people like Heat but I think X-Ray was my fave. It was completely a surprise and completely benign and CLark had to figure it out on his own. I like it when CLark ctually has to work at something by himself. Really, Metmorphosis, where he actually floats for the first time he knows was pretty funny, too.

This was okay but they could have done more with it. As I remarked to my husband, they don't have to have all kinds of super special effects except to show us the result, especially with this one. THe super hearing effect was always stupid; the worst and completely unnecessary.

[last man of krypton]

Heat is by far my favorite "new power" episode, but I don't think of the teacher when I recall it; I think of Jonathan helping Clark out in the field. There was a lot in that scene to like; the dialogue ("Dad, this might be easier if I was..." "Alone."), the acting (I crack up everytime I see Clark squinting; it's the kind of thing I'd expect him to do for his trial run), and so forth.

[Naomi]

Heat

[tw190]

Heat was hysterical.

I still thought Sneeze was good. Xray was also good, but Whisper was kinda boring.

Sneeze had too many things going in it:

1. Clark with his "cold"/new power while rebuilding the state and eventually going to save Lex/Lana

2. Lois with the barn door

3. Chloe with Clark and her stuff with Lois

4. Lionel with Olliver and threatening him

5. Lex getting kidnapped and being strapped down by the villians (it was unclear on how they thought they would get powers---why did they shoot him when if he would have had powers, he would have ripped out and killed them all)

6. Lana finding out about the camera and whining to Clark and later Lex

7. Martha talking to Lois

The barn door clearly wasted too much time. Very few of the comedic scenes were natural and funny. Most of them were forced at us and very time consuming and stupid like season 4. The scarecrow burning in Heat was funny and natural (non-forced) as it was part of him training himself in controlling his power. The popcorn scene in Heat was good because it showed him properly using his power after learning to control it. The roots of his power were also funny (him thinking about sex).

But in Sneeze, they had to have Chloe and Lois return to the scene where the barn door landed. And then they tried to make it funny there, but I just wasn't laughing. I was yelling at the TV to show me Level 33, not that junk. The one comedic scene I liked was Clark faking a sneeze. That shows him lightening up.

The thing that hurt Sneeze the most for me was Chloe telling Clark to blow. There is no way a human should discover his powers. Helping him control it is one thing, but not discovering. That was just wrong. That to me said, why not make Chloe Supergirl and kill off Clark. Even though I am a Chloe fan, that really pissed me off. If they wanted her to help him, they should have done it where he would be faced with challenges that would need him to regulate the amount of superbreath he used. But that's not what happened. He was supersneezing (not a power) and they made him so stupid that Chloe had to tell him to use his lungpower to blow.

Heat had a great storyline. It started off with Clark watching that biology video, which triggered the heatvision. I also liked the fires that took place that made Lana, the cops, and others question Clark. They wisely intertwined the storylines where the teacher used the consequences of his power against him. I also liked how Martha was pulled into the main story with the teacher by talking sense to Lex and how Jonathan went to speak to Lex's wife. They also got Chloe & Lana involved in the research of Desiree. Plus we got our first clue of the guy Chloe met in Metropolis over the summer (Jimmy Olsen). Pete's "Bring on the pain" was classic. I also liked how Clark vaoprized the bullet with his heatvision. All in all, they consolidated everything into 1 main episode storyline that was easy to follow, and complex enough that it involved almost all the cast members. Sneeze was just all over the place.

sneeze was lame

Your forgetting the Elvis mix - to go with the training. You know the song that goes like "A little less... and a lot more...." :D

The scene in the field was one of the best I have to admit.

[maryjanewatson]

Heat and wisper are my 2 faves!

on the hilariousity scale, heat wins! good gracious, that episode had me laughing so hard through out the entire thing! I think i pulled like 10 muscles.

on the sexiness scale, wisper wins, hands down! Seeing clark in those glasses, MMMMM!!!! So hot!

[Farm_Girl]

Heat was too hilarious.. Martha and Jonathan realizing that Clark's new power has something to do with "hormones" that was a very funny scene.. Jonathan there to help him out.. Great!!

Whisper and X Ray were good too.. and yes, Clark in glasses.. damn hot!!

Sneeze as far as Clark's power goes, was the weakest.. Chloe becoming Jonathan was too boring and predictable.. Would've been real fun if JK was around..

[Fly by guy]

I didn't see a choice for Blank. I enjoyed seeing Clark experience most of his abilities in one episode with Chloe along for the ride. Blank is also one of my all time favorite eps. because it shows how important Chloe and Lana were in his life.

[bad3appels]

HEAT 100% :)

[dokken-fan]

[qoute]
X-Ray = Big Deal
Whisper = So What?
Sneeze = Cool, but *yawn*

Heat = YEAH!!!!

And when Pa Kent was 'practicing' with Clark (was it on a scarecrow?), he had to ask him to go away. Very suggestive, hehe...

Well, thank you.
My screen name is indeed my (our) agenda. And the avatar, well whenever I look at it myself, it makes my IQ drop to that of a bunny for sure...
;)

[margroks]

Chloe helping Clark was the only thing that saved it. The scene in the office was just too cute and the end scene where he blew away the clouds was awesome.

[Koma]

Yeah, I voted for heat, too. Having JK involved with helping Clark develop it was great. I have to say X-Ray was good too. It kind of makes me think of the earlier episodes, when I liked this show a lot more. It was more fun to watch it then, as they weren't worried about how he's "turning into" Supes. It was just a fun show for "what if Superman grew up today". I realized Clark has to get older, but the storylines were more fun to watch in the first 3 seasons, IMHO... :p

[Wingz Of Steel]

"Crusade"

Yeah it's Kal-El not Clark but Flight was a new power and since we'll never see it in the series from who we want to i'll have to live thru that episode...

*Thinks about how awesome this show could be if they let Clark fly by now*

[kazek]

Sneeze was over exaggerated..how could he blow out the sky....and it wasn't given enough attention like Heat..
I kept waiting for them to show Clark using the power..but all they kept showing was Lex..Lana..lex, lex and more lex.......

[xrayvision]

I agree. Based on the initial trajectory & speed of the barn door, there is no way it would go 7 miles, especially without hitting something. The landing also looked fake. Back in Perry, they did a very good job with the tractor (the fall and landing seemed very believable for someone with Clark's powers).

I can't wait until wall-rebuilding vision :p

[Keldaz]

Sneeze would have been good without chloes comment. ;)

I agree. Ever since that episode, I keep waiting for the next season premiere or finale to see him fly or float when he jumps down from a building. With the premiere in 5 and 6, I found myself saying, "He didn't fly, wtf?"

In season 5, he came back from the dead to disarm a missile. I think they should have made him fly that one time. In 6 when he escaped from the Phantom Zone, he fell from the sky, this looked really lame.

Since the producers have changed so much of the Superman legend, why not go with this now?

Sneeze would have been good without all the overdone "comedy" and without Chloe making Clark look like an ass and discovering a power, which she doesn't even have. It would have been 1 thing if she helped him control it, but he had no clue about superbreath until she had to open her mouth. This really pisses me off. How can the "future Superman" be so f'n stupid?

haha, were do you think the good old saying BDA is from? :P

[gamer2]

I liked the episode and laughed through the whole thing. The only part I didn't like is how he doesn't have the strength to rip the door off but he has enough to make the air pressure required to blow through the wall. Kinda cheesey. But about all I can expect from TPTB.
