synopsis when oliver's poisoned at aala, the gang pulls out all the stops to revive

him while he has trauma-induced flashbacks of his days on a deserted Island.

Yeah.

We're going back into a past that I don't know if we asked for.

We didn't.

We're doing it.

But, um, yes.

But I think they are trying to connect the dots with her. Because now, because Lex is gone. And we have, we're revisiting old friends. And now we're trying to connect the dots with the past and the future. And, um, and that's what we're attempting to do here. A little bit of treading water here. How do we keep the show going?

Yeah, I think at this point, people are probably thinking, okay, is Smallville going to make it? Is Smallville what's going to go on with season eight? What are we, you know? And again, we are getting, things are going to have to pay off for this to work. So that's what I'm waiting for. Right now. What did you, what did you feel like,

Michael, after you left the show and, and you continued to watch this series? I did not watch the series. Why on earth would you watch the show that you weren't on? I didn't do that for me as for me. I mean, look, if I was on, I don't know. I can't say. I just, uh, if you got killed off of Breaking Bad, Would you keep watching Breaking Bad?

No.

No.

I don't think I would.

I just, uh, if you got killed off of Breaking Bad, would you keep watching Breaking Bad?

No. No. I don't think I would. I just was like I'm a part of it. So it's different from being an audience. Although I've been able to really appreciate Smallville. As an audience member. Yeah, I think so. Yes, I have. I did get a little concerned because Tom sent me a guy. He's apparently he's a patron too, so he's listening.

He ranked the seasons, all 10 seasons of Smallville.

Yeah, eight was not.
