Episode 2 of watching along with new Podcast, Talk Ville.
The pilot was a really good episode - dated for sure, but really good at the time. This second however has a really tough first half. The dialogue is rough, especially the "freak of the week" and Kristin Kreuk. I forgot how young she looked, especially in this episode.
Tom Welling is far more comfortable in Clark by this episode, than he was in Episode 1, now that's allowed to move outside of the dweeb character. Rosenbaum who I remembered being fantastic the entire series, was a little off this episode - especially in the conversation with Lana by the stables.
Second episode sees a reduction in budget, but they still go for it. Sure, the CGI is dated but I'm not going to hold 20 year graphics for the 2nd episode of a series, against a show. Again, its interesting watching Allison Mack on TV again, after all that's come out since. I wonder if Talk Ville will address her, I don't remember her being mentioned in Episode 1 of their podcast.
Not a massive drop in quality in Episode 2, but some of the writing could use a tune up.
@theavereviewer She is out of prison now. She deserves a 2nd chance. She served her time. Would love to see her as a guest eventually. I have asked them a number of times, but they never respond.
