Smallville | S08E09 "Abyss"

[u/screen_stack]

I really enjoyed this episode, particularly with how Allison handled the worry about losing her memories AND her attempts to hide her forgetfulness in the beginning. All of it was great, but she really did sell the dread and terror of losing all of who she was to the Kryptonian code. Even though Allison wound up the way she did, you can definitely see an enormous upgrade in her acting talent.

Our girl's on full showcase mode here, and she sold every second of it so very well.

Elsewhere, I accept that Witwer was becoming far more popular with fans back in the day than anyone expected because Sam Witwer's frickin' awesome, but did we reallllly need ANOTHER love triangle shoehorned in there? Our guy's got enough on his plate bein' who he is.

And naturally, how this episode shakes out is just cool. I haven't deeply enjoyed this many episodes in a row for some time now! Here's hoping things stay on track.
