Smallville (TV Series) Forsaken (2004) User Reviews

End of Cycles and Relationships

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 18 May 2006]

Clark Kent decides to disclose his secret to Lana Lang, trying to avoid her traveling to Paris, and invites her for dinner. Meanwhile the dangerous teenager Emily Eve Dinsmore (Amber Rothwell), the six years girl from "Accelerate" that has had an accelerate grown-up and is still obsessed for Lana, escapes from the institute where she is interned. She kills the new owner of Talon and kidnaps Lana Lang. Chloe Sullivan joins Lex Luthor trying to find evidences to send the powerful Lionel Luthor to prison. The life of Pete Ross is threatened by a corrupt FBI agent trying to find what her knows about Clark Kent, and he decides to move with his mother to Wichita.

"Forsaken" seems to preannounce the end of some relationships in "Smallville". Apparently the character of Pete Ross will leave the show at least in a regular basis, since he is moving to another city far from Smallville; the mumbling crybaby and undecided Lana Lang fortunately is moving to Paris and we will be spared to see her ridiculous relationship with Clark Kent; and most important, I am curious to see how will work the relationship between Lionel and Lex Luthor. I hope that the episodes of the next season get better than in this irregular Third Season. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Renúncias" ("Renounces")

Emily is back...

[Rcwilkinson123 · 9/10 · 4 December 2007]

A character from a previous episode of this season is back in Emily Dinsmore, albeit much older from before.

Emily, a little ten-year-old girl previously, is now grown up due to accelerate cloning conducted by her father and Lionel Luthor. However, she still just has the mental capacity of a child. She still wants to be friends with Lana. Emily escapes from her "doll house" that her father and Lionel grew her in, due to the rapidity of her molecules as a result of her accelerated growth. She captures Lana and puts her in the glass cage, making Lana her own personal doll. Nobody would no that Lana would be there, because she is supposed to be in Paris to attend Paris School of the Arts- and frankly, see what's out there in life besides having her mind consumed by thoughts of her relationship with Clark. Only one certain empowered individual can save her.

This episode wraps up a brief two-episode story arc that began early in the season and concluded here, near the end of the season. An average episode to a fantastic overall season.

Be my BEST friend....again

[PUstrontium · 2 February 2006]

Outline: In attempt to keep Lana from going to Paris, Clark plans to tell her his secret when he has dinner with her. But....remember little Emily Dinsmore? She's now "Emma," and she killed the guy who bought the Talon, and is now running it. Well, she's still got her "let's be best friends" complex, so she kidnaps Lana and places her in a glass room where she can't escape. Clark figures out where Emma is holding her and saves Lana before Emma tries to gas her. To stop Emma from running away, Clark dumps a tower of water on her. Chloe finally lets Lex in on the secret that he learned in his weeks of disrememberance. She has recovered the voice mail confession of Lionel's about killing his parents. It's decided that Pete is moving away. Lionel gets arrested for the murder of his parents.

Pete is gone.....GOOD. That boy was nothing but trouble. Knowing Clark's secret was apparently too much of a trouble. I don't really get it, but maybe that's because I keep secrets like it's my job. "The devil is in the details. If you don't pay attention to the details, he'll win." Nice quote Lionel. Maybe the best thing you've uttered this show.

My hometown is mentioned!

I would like to thank the writers of this episode for including a real town, or should I say, city in Kansas. Pete told Clark that he is going to move to "Wichita" with his mother. I currently live in Wichita, which is the largest city in Kansas. I wish my friends in Santa Cruz County, California could read this so I could let them know that Wichita is larger than Santa Cruz County. They all seem to think that Kansas is nothing but a lot of small farming communities without any cars or major businesses. And, one last thing, I wish Smallville had actually been filmed in Kansas to keep it more realistic. There are no mountain ranges, as I have seen in several episodes. Also, the ever changing weather conditions are not mentioned, or seen in this show. For it is a famous saying in Kansas, "If you don't like the weather, just wait an hour, and it will change!"
