Smallville: Forever (2005)
Season 4, Episode 21
10/10
Oedipus Complex
9 July 2006
On the last day of the Smallville High, the frustrated photographer of the Torch, Brendan Nash (Steven Grayhm), feels rejected by the Universities and decides to abduct some schoolmates to stay with him forever in a replica of the school. He uses his power of Medusa Touch and brings Lana Lang, Chloe Sullivan and other successful mates to the place. Meanwhile, Genevieve and Jason Teague kidnap Lionel and Lex Luthor trying to retrieve the stone Lionel took of them.

"Forever" is one of the best episodes of the Fourth Season of Smallville. The villain Jason does not hesitate to jeopardize the safety of Lana due to his Oedipus complex for his dominating evil mother. He deserved the sad end in the waterfalls. I only do not understand how the writer of this series does not give much care to the support characters, like for example, Haley Timmonds: she dies, killed by Brendan, and when Lana and Chloe are safe with Clark in the end of the episode, none of them is sad for the death of their schoolmate. In spite of this serious flaw in the screenplay, my vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Eterno" ("Eternal")
