Smallville (TV Series) Extinction (2003) User Reviews

Great Episode

[claudio_carvalho · 9/10 · 3 May 2006]

When Lana Lang is attacked by her obsessed school pal Jake Pollan (Harris Allan) in the desert swimming pool of Smallville High School, he is mortally shot by an unknown shooter. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor joins Luthor Corp. and his father Lionel Luthor requires a US$ 50,000,000.00 life insurance from him. Clark investigates the murder of Jake, and finds that the criminal was Jake's friend Van McNulty (Jesse Metcalfe), who is killing people affected by the meteor shower, and Lex is the next in his death list. When Clark saves Lex, Van sees that he is special and includes Clark in his bill.

"Extinction" is another great episode of "Smallville", after the disappointing "Phoenix". In this story, the vulnerability of Clark Kent to kryptonite is once again exposed, but the resolution of the situation is good. My vote is nine.

The Hunt for Meteor Freaks

[Rcwilkinson123 · 9/10 · 11 November 2007]

A meteor freak hit-man is on the loose in the third episode of the young Superman series' 3rd season.

A stalker is after Lana Lang, but is shot down after trying to grab her in a swimming pool. Lana is thankful for this shooter, but Clark correctly understands that the shooter is the real problem. After additional research, Clark and Chloe realize that the shooter is named Van, who is on a vendetta against meteor freaks because one was responsible for his father's death.

This is a very exciting episode with intense scenes which include great special effects, especially for television, which include a kryptonite bullet and a super-sprint by Clark from Smallville to Metropolis.
