The introduction of Conner Kent is a surprising and welcome twist for the Smallville
"Scion" places Clark in the role of his own parents, as he has to shepherd Conner towards making the right choices while also teaching him to control his abilities. It's always exciting to see the pupil become the master and seeing Clark Kent enjoy being Conner's mentor is a lot of fun. In particular, Conner's inability to control his heat vision in the presence of the very sexy Lois Lane is a neat little callback to "Heat" in Season 2. Clark recognizes this and immediately ensures that Conner is turned away from Lois before setting her ablaze. There's an understanding that Clark has about Conner that no one else ever will, which creates a unique friendship between the two.
Obviously Clark sees a lot of himself in Conner, but there's a twist when it comes to the "genetic love child of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor" - his dark side is far more vicious. Lionel's plan to use Red Kryptonite to set the boy free and see what he is truly capable of was a genius plan that only a Luthor could think of. It stressed how delicate Conner's development is compared to Clark's and was a reminder that deep down inside, a Luthor still exists. It also setup a decent fight between Clark and Conner in the remains of the Luthor mansion, which has become quite the eerie set piece.
Conner Kent going to Smallville High would make for a great television series. In some executives mind, somewhere, the thought of a Smallville spinoff with Conner's adventures has probably popped up. The concept just screams "spinoff" to me. Or how about the possibility of Conner teaming up with other young superheroes in the Smallville universe? Ok, now my imagination is getting the best of me.
It always struck me as odd how quickly the Mirror Universe Lionel Luthor was able to recapture his throne atop the Luthorcorp empire. It's good to know that Tess and Lois were also thinking that and it made for a pretty good b-plot as well. The single shred of evidence that proves Lionel to be a fraud was inspired; his mirror universe fingerprint doesn't match the one from Lutessa's adoption papers. It's always great to see plot points from earlier in the series click at the most opportune moment. Lionel's line about Tess still being a Luthor was an ominous portent of things to come. Tess has been rather upbeat lately, now that she's part of the group her wicked ways seem to be behind her. Another change of character for her would be surprising.
The final scene of "Scion" is a great tease of where the series will be headed in the final few episodes. With Alexander torn from him, Lionel is worried about his legacy and visits the grave of Lex Luthor. I absolutely love the obelisk-like tombstone that marks Lex's gravesite. Lionel's wishes to have Lex by his side once more look like they might be granted by none-other than Darkseid! It's a fantastic reveal for the character and he's almost on the screen for more than two seconds! Racing around in my mind is a scene between Lionel and Darkseid discussing the terms of an agreement to bring Lex back in exchange for some evil plan. Hopefully we will get to see more of Darkseid when Smallville returns in a few weeks!
Smallville: "Scion" Review
clone saga. With previous concerns that Michael Rosenbaum wouldn't be returning to the series, there was some worry amongst the fan base that we wouldn't be treated to a true reunion between Clark and Lex and instead have to settle for a surrogate. With Rosenbaum's return confirmed, the Lex Clone we have been watching throughout the season is now revealed to be the Smallville version of Superboy."Scion" places Clark in the role of his own parents, as he has to shepherd Conner towards making the right choices while also teaching him to control his abilities.
