Trentus Magnus Punches Reality

In this week's ball-biting episode, Magnus continues the Smallville season 05 retrospective. Going under the microscope this week are the episodes Thirst, Exposed, Splinter and Solitude. This is a pivotal part of the Smallville retrospective as Magnus not only talks about the changes that were happening in the Superman fan community during this time (eg, the fall of 2005) but he also talks about the episode many people consider to be the very worst of Smallville's entire run. Yes, they consider it to be even worse than the entire dreaded fourth season. Of perhaps greater importance though is the lesson Clark learns in one of these episodes. Depending on your definition of the word "victory", Clark was defeated in this episode. But he learns that sometimes there are degrees of victory and he has to be ready to accept them. A very important and, ahem, revealing episode of Smallville. All that, and Clark discovers how Krypton was *REALLY* destroyed. So what more do you need? Start listening now or Lana Lang will
